Little Federal Plan in North Carolina Attacked as Sophistry
A Sunday Accent column denounces the Little Federal Plan to redraw state legislative representation. It argues the plan silences large counties and boosts small rural ones, would reduce House seats from 120 to 100 and Senate seats from 50 to 70, and could upend fair representation. It urges voters to strike the plan down at the polls Tuesday.

Shelter Costs Tripled for New Thomasville Post Office
A Thomasville postal facility fallout shelter, trimmed from a $500000 appropriation 30 months ago, is now planned with interiors costing 40000 to 65000 dollars. Bids include one from Illinois as officials say the shelter remains similar to the rejected design. Other local projects loom with Mills Home library and church addition bids near 200000 dollars and Grace Lutheran Church building at Culbreath and Unity with 150000 to 200000 dollars. CPL D R McKinney returns to work after avoiding injury from a lawnmower accident last November 19. Police issue warnings for improper vehicle lights during evening hours, noting 8 p.m. as peak ticket time.
