Armstrong Cork Sees 1970 Sales Down Amid Labor Strikes
Armstrong Cork Company reports 1970 sales and earnings decline due to weak economy, high costs, and extended strikes. President James H. Binns notes improved 1971 prospects despite a volume drop from 552 million in 1969 to 486 million in 1970 and earnings fall from 31.9 million to about 17.8 million. An extraordinary gain of 1.08 per share in 1969 and lengthy plant stoppages contributed to the downturn.

Episcopalians push liquor by the drink vote and reforms
At the North Carolina Episcopal Diocese convention in Durham delegates backed resolutions calling for repeal of abortion laws and end to capital punishment. They approved local option liquor by the drink, budgets totaling 642324, and a nine division reorganization to decentralize the diocese with 350 delegates from 39 counties. The group urged better treatment for POWs in Vietnam, drug law changes, and reducing punishments in favor of regulation and rehabilitation. A liquor by the drink bill was also proposed in the General Assembly, mirroring a defeated 1969 measure.

North Carolina teachers seek raises amid stalemate
Dawson criticized the governor and the Advisory Budget Commission for lacking leadership on public education. He noted the NCAE board did not pick a specific sanction but any legal work stoppage by members could occur. Public employees cannot strike in NC, while proposals set starting teacher salaries around 6352 to 7000 dollars with nine to ten month pay spans and sanctions might escalate from alert to broader action.

Nixon forecasts tax limits and economic shifts in 1971
Nixon warns against inflationary spending beyond what tax revenues can sustain in full employment. He notes forces such as a 40 percent rise in housing starts, higher government spending, lower interest rates, and auto industry recovery after the GM strike. Polls show Nixon losing ground with under-30 voters while holding over-50 support, with income brackets shaping the race differently for Muskie and Wallace.
