FAYETTEVILLE OBSERVER Methodist College For Release: (immediate Fayetteville, North Carolina 28301 Charles K. McAdams, Director of Public Relations May 17, 196? John E. Murray, a public speaker for the North Carolina fund, told a Methodist College special problems sociology class on Wednesday, May 17, that 37 percent of all North Carolina families live under the minimum level for poverty and that 43 percent of all houses in the state are substandard. In the United States, approximately 20 percent of the total population is under the poverty level. Murray said that laziness has little to do with poverty. He said that poverty is influenced by several major factors. Among these he listed the number of available opportunities and social and ethnic backgrounds. Three features of North Carolina, he said, make poverty greater in the state. The first of these features is too high of an under- and unemployment rate. Figures given out by the State Employment Commission are often as much as half of what the actual figure of enemployment is, he said. The second feature discussed was the low wages paid to employees. North Carolina ties with Mississippi for the lowest average industrial wages in the nation. The average North Carolina industrial wage is $1.80 per hour compared to a national average of $2.60. The third feature listed was the lack of education in North Carolina. The average adult education in the state is only nine years, compared to II for the nation. He said that "we are wasting tax money if no better than a fifth grade education can be given to the citizens of the state. There is no place in our technological society for a functional illiterate." He recommended extending technical training into the high schools. Since February of 1966, Mr. Murray has been on a speaking tour of North Carolina for the North Carolina fund, a private anti-poverty corporation begun in 1963 and operating from grants from the Ford, Babcock and Reynolds foundations. A native of Roanoke Rapids, N. C., he is a former Presbyterian minister. A graduate from Davidson College, he earned his Bachelor of Divinity degree from Union Theological Seminary, Richmond, and his Master of Theology from Princeton Seminary, Princeton, N. J.
