A Bible thought cites Numbers 4 21 declaring the earth filled with the Lord s glory. The piece argues atheistic regimes struggle against faith and predicts the crumbling of godless rule with a message to await the triumph of righteousness.
Governor Hodges proposes a broad program with a $500 million general fund and $42.5 million in capital projects as the General Assembly weighs a 9.1 percent rise for teachers. The plan aims to boost living standards and education as a core state priority amid wider reforms.
The piece argues that Democrats and Republicans trade positions, with the GOP growing liberal under Eisenhower and Democrats taking conservative roles. It cites budget size, liberal programs, and shifting congressional battles, noting critics see inflation and high spending as bipartisan. It ends noting voters may shift majorities to the right as spending sways left.
Editorial notes growing concern about elderly job opportunities as a Senate bill would ban age based hiring discrimination when the job does not require such a distinction. Four Republican sponsors include Jacob Javits Irving Ives Frederick Payne and Thruston Morton. The measure echoes a 1955 House proposal extending prohibition to employment agencies.
The Eisenhower administration promotes rehabilitation and re employment to boost work prospects for the aging. A Federal Council on Aging coordinates federal services to prevent dependency. Studies show aging may begin affecting jobs as early as 30 for women and 40 for men, with upper age limits varying by occupation.

George Sokolsky argues crime rises and involves younger offenders in 1956. He cites Hoover figures, notes murder linked to sex, and laments bystander apathy. He discusses press collaboration with police, gag rules harming open reporting, and ethics battles among lawyers, doctors, and newspapers. He warns secrecy harms public opinion on espionage cases and Soviet actions.
Dr H L Trigg analyzes evolving state policy noting community colleges gain appeal as education adapts to progress. He cites North Carolina plans and Mecklenberg County political shifts as examples of gradual change over revolution, with tax reform and state government reorganization likely but not fully enacted.
Dr. Trigg notes public schools run by the State while colleges are often church or state institutions, but community colleges belong to the people. States like California and New York have two year programs. North Carolina may follow with partial state support. Local units fund buildings and operations alongside state aid, contradicting the belief that the State covers all public school costs.
The college unveils a new pay scale and retirement program raising instructional funds by 21 percent and setting salaries $1,000 above the Southern Association benchmark. President Cooke notes ongoing efforts to attract and retain quality faculty while acknowledging past hard times and the need for broader support.
