Ken McAllister, newly elected president of the High Point Drug Action Council, says the drug problem remains widespread despite the alarm abating. Since 1971 the DAC has counseled and treated hundreds, with federal funding and strict record keeping supporting their work.
GOP Chairman Bill Brock allocates 225000 for a long term effort to recruit black candidates at local and state levels with training and funding. He says the party must build a pool of elected black officeholders and aims to change its image in black communities. James Farmer suggests blacks seek leverage in both parties.
Davidson County officials oppose a North Carolina bill requiring all counties to establish area mental health boards. County Manager Jim Phillips says five counties without boards must create them by year end, contrasting with past Davidson experience where a dissolved board limited local policy control and caused personnel conflicts. Phillips plans to lobby against the bill, arguing federal grants hinge on area board participation and that Davidson residents would suffer service quality without local control. Varner, a Democrat, supports the bill, opposing his county commissioners instead. The outcome hinges on how vigorously Phillips and the Davidson board resist the measure.
Dr. William King testifies before the Senate armed services committee that the all volunteer forces are a sinking ship. He cites Marine shortfalls, rising misbehavior, and high costs, arguing for some form of national draft and a minimally coercive service with basic training and mobilization plans.
A reflective High Point writer notes spring fever, birdsong, and pleasant countryside views. He recalls a quirky offer to fund a one way vacation, reminisces about block dropping and old guttering noises, and shares a long-family anecdote about pig like eating practices and a playful grandfather.
