Steele Agrees On Highways But Says Nick Evades Issues YAJMCEYVILLE, N. C. Saturday he agrees Highways 86 and 158 are treacherous roads in need of improvements but he criticized his opponent for being willing to talk about while sayiig little about 1 issues. Steeie, the GOP candidate tor Congress, said ths matter of the two roads is essentially stale issue "that can and must be resolved in Raleigh." He said he does not feel auch matters should take precedence over those with which can and must deal. Steele charged Democratic Candidate Nick Galifianakis has had little to say about such problems "as the high cost of iiving, the war in Viet Nam, falling farm parities and the increasing lawlessness and civil disobedience on our streets and in our neighborhoods." Charged Steele: "My opponent has had little to say during the campaign about these issues other than to repeat over over the Johnson-Humphrey lines that 'everything is all right'." Steele said be would support any proper federal legislation designed to fcnprove North Carolina roads.

"Neither I HOT my opponent can do more in Washington," he said. Steele's statement apparently was intended to take the Jjppeal out of statements made by Galifianakis during a campaign swing through Caswell earlier this week. Galifianakis pledged to do all he could to help get ments to Rts. 86 and 158. Ctsweii officials have expressed concern about the lack of improvements to the two highways.

They are particularly worried that Rt. 86 will not be improved with funds from a statewide road bond issue. During his Casweil visit this week, Gaiifiaaakis challenged Steele's earlier charges that be is ducking discussion of issues. He said has been talking about issues since he first declared for the nomination last February prior to the Democratic primary. He said he also has attended three League of Women Voters forums to which Steele also was invited but did not attend.

A "YES" VOTE AT THE NOVEMBER 8 BOND REFERENDUM WILL BE A VOTE FOR DANVILLE'S GROWTH AND PROGRESS! Next Tuesday Danville voters are being asked to approve funds for the expansion of the City Water Plant and for the construction of a Secondary Sewage Treatment Plant. The Water Plant MUST be expanded if we are not to face the possibility of water rationing by 1968. The Sewage Treatment Plant MUST be built in order to conform to new anti-pollution standards as adopted by the State and Federal governments. The most orderly and logical method of financing these two URGENT projects is through the total $3,000, 000 Bond Issue. The undersigned members of the Board of Directors of the Retail Merchants Association of Danville unanimously endorse both Bond items and urge each oter to cast his ballot for continued growth and progress for Danville by voting "YES" on the Bond Novembers.
