John E. Murray, a p u b l i c speaker for the North Carolina fund, told
a Methodist C o l l e g e special problems sociology class on Wednesday,
May 17, that 37 percent of a l l North Carolina f a m i l i e s l i v e under the
m i n i m u m level for poverty and that 43 percent of a l l houses in the
state are substandard.
I n the United States, approximately 20 percent of the total
population is under the poverty
level.
Murray said that laziness has l i t t l e to do with poverty.
that poverty
is influenced by several major factors.
He said
Among these he
listed the number of a v a i l a b l e 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 h i g h 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
