The legislature must be on its guard for last-minute matters that may be presented to it in the hope of getting passed with little notice during the rush. It must also be ^careful not to overlook controversial matters on which decisions are needed, juat because they could keep the legislature in session an extra day or two.

The June 12 adjournment target set by ie^s-lative leaders is a realistic one, but it is one which will require a much more rapid pace of work than so far has been evident during the 1965 session.

Counties Coulc. imit-Billboards

By JOAN TAYLOR MUNGER RALEIOH Despite defeat of the state . wide billboard bill, there remains the possibility that Individual counties may take action In the outdoor advertlsint situation alCMif the states highways.

Rep. Thurston Arledge of Polk Is leading this fight with his bill to allow PoDc county commissioners to set up regulations and Issui permiu along interstate 26 which runs through Polk County from ipartanburg, 8.C., to AshevUle.

Twelve miles of that highway run through our beautiful mountains. says Arledge, and we just dont want a billboard stuck out on every ridge ct thoee mountains.

Under Arledges bill, House BUI cmmty commlssloi? era would regulate the size of outdoor advertising and its placement near the highway and the distance between the signs. Hiey would probably use the federal program for interstate highways as a guideline.

Arledge both expect and welcomes other countries being added to the bill, which he expects to pass without opposition. Re has had so far 175 pieces of mall from hometown garden clubs supporting the statewide bUl and his own local bill.

Arledge is taking a good deal kidding about his own beautification plans and those of President Johnson. You got the president on your side, Josh his fellow representatives, to' which Arledge replies, Yeah^ and me and him gonna get my bill through.

The Senate passed without question a bUl from Sen. Lindsay Warren Jr. of. .Wayne which would allow the State Bureau of Investigation to move - in. Immediately 4n the abuse of state - owned property. Under present law, the SBI must wait until it Is Invited to begin investigation, by local authorltle.s.

His bill has a serious puipose, however: It would mean that those small stores and filling stations which sell the crackers would not have to pay the states $5 privilege tax which is levied on sandwich sellers.

It is good news indeed that the State Highway Commission has completed a thorough study of an N. C. 43 by-pass route through South Greenville.

This project has been long in the making and lack of an adequate plan has actually slowed the development of some property in the area.

The study has been termed a good one by city officials. It takes into account!' the city's growth and projected traffic figures. Planning-Zoning

Rep. George Wood of Camden. with an eye toward aum-mcrtime approaching, jumped up ju9t in time to make his bUl House BUl 1000. It would require the General Assembly to coivene the third week in January and hence, presumar bly. adjourn earUer. His rea-sMis are highly practical.

Wert aU busbiesara#, with - commissioners now are digesting the study and they

can be expected to have recommendation for the City Council in the near future,

A number of routes have been considered over the years, each rejected or forgotten for one reason or another. It is high time now that an N. C. 43

route is firmly established so property development

in the vast'South Greenville area can proceed in an orderly manner.

We hope the Planning-Zoning Commission and -the City Council will act as rapidly as possible to approve a route for theJiighway. Then we hope that the State Highway Commission will proceed as quickly as funds are available to develop the highway along the chosen right-of-way.

Any further delay of this important project could seriously retard Greenvilles growth.

HI bill, which is a perennial, will be promoted in the Senato by J. J. (M(mk) Harrington of Bertie. Wood pi-e-dicts if I can get the bill out of committee ItU pass the House. He feels previous bills have failed because they required the Assembly to ctmvene tdo early. Wood considers his bill a c(npromlse.

A bill to exempt the state Mueum of Art from having to pay sales tax on certain purchases has been introduced by Rep. Clarence Leather-mao of Lincoln, chairman of the House finance committee. If approved the bill would cot the state about $3,000 per year In revenue. It would mean the museum would not have to pay sales tax when buying works of art for public display which are paid for in part or in full by gifts or donatlwis.

TOough fiiree of ibiir Southern college students will soon be enroUed in pubUc colleges and universities, private institutions wiU continue to grow, playing a key role in higher education.

Recently three private colleges and universities in the South announced long range plans for expansion and improvement that are indicative of their intention to strengthen their positions.

Duke University has launched a program expected to cost some $187 million over the next ten years. A twenty-year plan caUing for a $25.000,000 investment to enhance the status of Rollins College (Florida) as a major private liberal arts college was recently announced. At High Point College (North Carolina) the Board of Trustees has just accepted a $10,000,000 development program.

Duke Trustee Chairman Wright Tisdale, of Dearborn, Michigan, announcing the impending campaign, said: Nowhere else in this country aro

the challenges and opportunities for higher education greater than they are here. The universities of the South have an obligation to provide educational opportunities unexcelled anywhere . . .We look to them for major Ideas and we expect them to train the talent to undei^d our lives our security, our prosperity, our health, our laws and our Individual fulfillment through wisdom and faith even in a perplexing woild.

This means that we must support our universities as never before. We are strong to the degree that they are strong; we arc weak to the degree that they are weak. We mu.st realize that in todays world, their limitations limit us all, and their triumphs enrich us all.

New endowment funds at Duke will be used to strengthen and enlarge the faculty, to provide more fellowships :^holar-ships and lectureships, to strengthen the library and the Duke University Press and for the establishment of an Institute for Southern Studies.

Plant needs fall Into three broad categories: education a 1 buildings estimated to cost

ffimtdh tor Medical' Center facilities); student housing and activities buildings, $22.5 million and campus improvements and service facilities, estimated at $8.4 million.

The Rollins development program is not aimed at expanding enrollment but at improving the quality of instruction offered by the institution. While the progrsun calls for some nine additional buildings, including a Cultural Center for the visual and performing arts and over $1,000,000 in campus improvements, the college will continue to be a small liberal arts college with an enrollment of 1200 undergraduate students and possibly 300 - 500 graduate students. The undergraduate curriculum will be revised and strengthened with partic u 1 a r emphasis on new teaching techniques and an honors degree program for gifted students slated to begin as a pilot project in the fall of 1965.

High Point Colleges plans call for a minimum of $3,000,-000 for capital improvements, with minimum , endowTOent requlreffiehts sel at some $7.-000,000. Like Rollins, its major efforts over the next decade will be directed toward the Improvement of the quality of Its educational program rather than toward expanding enrollment.

At the heart of these farsighted expansion programs lies the welfare of the individual student. As Duke University President Douglas Knight put It; In the future as in the past, our physical concerns will be rooted in a deeper concern for the Individual mind and spirit as these are nourished by the Universitys great traditlwis of disciplined curiosity, Intellectual rigor, and searching religious commitment,

The United States Seabees* It has just been revealed, spent 18 days in Warsaw debugging the American Embassy. In his report to Washington, the American Ambassador to Poland. John M. Cabot, said that he was quite ai^el^n-sive over housing and feeding the Seabees, as well as keeping them Isolated from the temptations which Warsaw has In abundance.

The Ambassador said he solved the Trobtem of temptation by having a number of Embassy wives prepare dinner for the Seabees, which was served In the snack bar of the Embassy, and on weekends the Seabees were invited to the homes of members of the staff

for food and entertainment.

Everything, the Ambassador was qiK>ted as saying, worked out to our safisfac-tiwi.

There was a time when only the Russians kept such a watchful eye <m their mmHoyees when they visited the outer wOTld. But it seems that we Americans are just as nervous abdR our people when they go behind the Iron Curtain.

It must have been a bery trying 18 days for everyone concerned. *

I can image what went <m.

A Seabee chief petty officer is all dressed uP in bis blues, just about to leave the Embassy on liberty, when an Embassy staffer stops him.

Where are you going, chief? I just thought Id go into town and get myself a beer and see some of the sights. Theres nothing to see in Warsaw, chief. Why dont you have a beer in the sn a c k bar?

Other. E(ditors Saying A Little Economy

Quote

(Richmond News Leader)

Earlier this month, the House Office Building Commission met to consider the necessity for remodeling the Cannon House Office Building, completed in 1908, In order to bring its accommodations up to the posh standards of the new Rayburn Office Building. Preliminary estimates had set the costs of this remodeling at $10.7 million, requiring three years of construction.

However, the House group decided- Tfaat-^perhapa a little economy was in order. After they had pruned items ccmsid-ered not absolutely necessary from the list, the estimated cost dropped to $5.2 million, or less than half the original estimate. Among other things the $5.2 million will cover the cost of providing each congressman with a three-room suite, of installing a modem plumbing system, of installing new carpets and legislative call signals, and of making general repairs, including interior painting. Several Items were deleted from the list, Including the installation of acoustical ceiling tile in all offices, replacement of the air-conditioning system, and the con-stmctlon of built-in files and

cabinets in congressional offices. The remodeling is scheduled to begin in November

of this year, with a completion date set for the spring of 1967.

On the whole, the remodeling project seems reasonable. Little has been done to the Cannon building since it was completed, except for the addition of a story in 1914, the installation of an air-conditioning system in 1938, and the construction of a courty a r d garage in 1959. The Senate Office Building was remodeled extensively In 1955 at a cost of $21.2 million;*remodeling of the Cinnbn Building will cost less than 25 per cent of this amount.

If, indeed, the remodeling can be accomplished at the $5.2 million estimated, it will offer a vivid contrast to the $86 million cost of the Rayburn Office Building, wh i c h started out with an appropriation of $2 million in 1955. Budding experts estimate that the old House Office Building would cost $27 million to build In todays market, and only $5.2 million will be required to-make its accommodations comparable to those provided in the Rayburn Building. In view of the House Office Building Commissions judicious approach to the C^non remodeling Job, it might be aaked, not unfairly, where the Commission waa when the Rayburn Building costs got out of hand.'

Frankly, Im getting sick and tired of that snack bar. And I dont want to seem ungrateful, but Im getting fed up with those home - cooked meals made by the Embassy wives. They keep saying to me, Ill bet youre grateful for a home-cooked meal. And I keep telling them. How would I know? I havent eaten In a Polish restaurant since I got here. Look, chief, why dont you hang around tonight? Were going to have a bingo game after dinner.

I dont want to play bingo. I want some action. I h e a r Warsaw is a great town not that you could prove it by me.

Chief, if youve seen one Polish town, youve seen them ail. You know, were having a dance tomorrow night. That sounds Like fun. doeMl it? No disrespect intended, sir, but dancing with an Embassy wife is like dancing with your sister. I think Ill just wander around the town instead.

"^I didnt want to mention this, chief. But do you know that the Communists have specially trained girls who are ordered to make friends with Americans and even seduce them if necessary?

The chief gulps. Are they good looking?

Theyre gorgeous and -dangerous.

Suppose I didnt tell them anything?

They have ways of getting information out of you.

Why couldnt I be put to the te.st? Why couldnt I plant false information?

Since the Civil War generation, however, my family has had little direct experience of wars. My father was too young for the Spanish - American War and too old for World War X. I was a schoolboy in J,he World War I years, and too old for anything In World War II Save for a brief part time per diem stint with WUd BIU Donovans OSS. So Memoral Day. to me, has been mostly a dim memory of watching the thinning lines of the Grand Army of the Republic as they marched and later rode past the windows of the Union League Club In the first two decades of the century.

The effect of having missed active war experience is to make one extremely loath to recommend any tough action on ones government. It is all too easy to be valiant at the typewriter, urging others to get up and sock em. So, when 150 professors at ones Alma Mater get out a paclfis-tic statement urging Lyndon Johnson to cut and run in Asia, one hates, instinctively, to reproach them lor it. Gne is apt to reflect that only people who are willing to volunteer for war themselves have a real moral right to advocate fighting for others.

Still, there is a problem here. As an Instinctive lover of peace, I dont want to see the calendar spangled with any more Memorial Days or Arm-istice Days or Veterans Days. We have had enough of filling the graveyards. But, beyond ones emotions, there is the matter of intellectual judgment, Isnt it better to fight wars of limited commitment now rather than to be forced to take part in a big blow - off later on?

As preparation for this Memorial Day week - end I have been reading Mr. Theodore Drapers long critical analysis of Lyndon Johnsons Dominican Republic actions which Is to be found In "The New Leader for May 24, 1965. Mr. Draper Is no lover of the Communists.

But he thinks Johnson, despite the presence of Castroit-ts in .Banto Domingo, should have taken a chance on tha rebel forces who sought to reinstate the government of Juan Bosch. We have compromised ourselves, says Mr, Draper, by opposing the forces of democratic legitimacy in tha Caribbean,

The argument Is plausible. But, again, the question of forebandedness arises. Wh e n the Czars government abdicated in Russia, the Milukovs and the Kcrenskys hoped to establish a legitimate democracy In place of the old autocracy. The Imperial German government didnt want to have It that way; it thought It could bust Russia clean out of World War I by sending the Communist agitator Lenin from Switzerland to Petrograd to cause disruption behind the enemys lines along the eastern front._

Tiny Saturday Savings Founc.

Strength For Totday

By EARL L. DOUGLAbK .IN THE HOUR OF DARKNESS

Recently I heard a preparatory school headmaster tell of an inspiring event which had-* happened on his campus.

- The ioatbsJL iaam -ha4 been defeated In an Important game. Furthermore, they had been defeated by two little circumstances of hard luck. They had played a magnificent game, but fortune had gone agabist them. As the boys returned to the campus they were dejected, not jiust by defeat but by the realization that they had missed victory a victory which might have been theirs by only a narrow margin.'

But word got to the headmaster about the game before the team reached the campus, and be and the students decided to arrange a welcome for

these fellows. The entire student body gathered on the steps of the Main Hall. The boys went first to the gymnasium and then were brought across the campus and around the <ooief -of file btrtWh^ before which the student body was gathered. There the defeated, discouraged fellows were greeted with a cheer that could be heard miles away. Their comrades had gathered to show their appreciation of a well-fought fight which through no fault of their own had ended In defeat.

How a human heart thrills upon hearing a word of encouragement in the hour of desperation and despair! How much easier all our defeats can be made if those about us have a kind wojU in the hour of daikne.ss!

Weekend supermarket shopping saves the consumer less money than he has been led to believe, a study reported In New York Universitys Joum--al of RjHjj^ng Indicates.

In tlimiirvey reported by Jon G. Udell, director of the University of WLsconslnB Bureau of Business Research and Sc'rvlce a national, a regional. and a local chain supermarket were test ahop-plng for eight weeks. Tuesday and Saturday prices of 22 national tqrimd food T)ITX^^

22 comparable private brand food products were recorded.

Saturday shopping resulted in surprisingly tiny savinis when all 22 items were purchased, For eximple, buying national brands at the national chain supermarket resulted in a bill of $87.80 on Tue.sday and $87.13 on Saturday. Savings; 17 cents or .002 P(!r cent.

The greatest saving resulted from buying national bi ands at the local chain. The Tuesday bill wa.s $88,61 and Satur-day'.s was $88.21 for savings of only 40 cents, or ,0^ per

cent. And the saving was possible only by spending 91 cents more than would have been spent at the national chain on a Tuesday.

KEY ITEMS OMITTED

In all fairness, the shopping list used In the study was not typical. Cuts of meat, fresh fruits were not Included be-

cause these could not be stan-dardiaed among the three supermarkets as to quantity and quality. Yet these items normally are the supermarkets main weekend sale Items and a sizeable share of most families' grocery bags.

Bargains offered In the meat and produce sections could be genuine bargains or not, depending on the price spread between Tucaday and Satur day

and relative quality, ripeness, waste and so forth. This was not tested, unfortunately.

It was found, however, that the three supermarkets, while lowering prices on some Items on Saturday, were raising them on others. In one case, mayonnaise purchased cost $4.72 on Tuesday and $4.52 on Saturday. But shortening costs rose from *6.12 on Tuesday to $6.17 on Saturday and canned tuna costs went up fixxn $2.49 to $2.56.

In all, national grand prices mire Increased on Saturday tn 20 lostanoes over tbe eight week period. Private brand pric e s were raised on Saturdays In 13 instances.

MISLEADING AIDS

Udell wrote, "All forms of promotion (newspapers, radio and Instore gave the impression all of the goods were reduced in price whereas more than hall of the Items featured were actually marked at regular prices,

While Tuesday vs. Saturday aavings appear negligible, the consumer can enjoy sizeable savings by purchasing private laliel/'products instead of na

tional brands.

All of the products in the test shopping were comparable. That Is, the private labels and name brands were equivalent In size and weight and were equated In quality by store managers or home economista who were consulted.

At the national chain supermarket, Tuesday shopping ran up a bUl of $87.30 for nafion-al brands but only $72.44 for private brands. A aimilar price difference occurred on Saturdays. At the regional chain su-fanrnirket the dtUefcs were about $12 on both days and at the local chain supermar k e t, roughly $15.50.
