Slate ABC Board
Steps Up Program
To Enforce Law
- >
Educational Program
Started In Connec
tion WJthEf fort
The State ABC Board has an
nounced a stepped-up program of
education and law enforcement in
a move to obtain fuller compli
ance with laws and regulations
governing the Sale of beer and ale.
Indicative of the State-wide
crackdown, Chairman Tom Allen
revealed that approximately 3,000
more inspections of retail outlets
were made in February than the,
previous month. He said the Jan
uary total was a step-up from the
monthly average last year.
Allen disclosed that the Malt
Beverage Division, which is charg
ed with enforcing the beer laws,
had inaugurated an educational
campaign in conjunction with the
accelerated enforcement effort.
“We are inviting law enforce
ment agencies in all counties and
municipalities where the sale of
beer is legal to join us in bring
ing about better conditions,” he
continued. “We are determined
that a minority of bad operators
shall not injure the public welfare
and bring disrepute to the entire
legal control system.”
Allen said he preferred to call
the new program a step-up of the
educational and enforcement effort
rather than a crack-down. “We
are confident that our intensified
approach to the problem will have
industry backing and that fuller
cooperation will produce good re
sults.”
The ABC chairman said Ronald
Hocutt, chief of the Malt Bever
age Division, had initiated the ac
celerated inspection program in ■
January and said some highly sat
isfactory results had been obtain- ;
ed. He cited Division records
which show the inspection of re- |
tail outlets rose from 4,771 in Jan
uary to 7,974 last month. During
the two-month period, there were
24 revocations of permits, 28 sus- j
pensions and 44 warnings to opera
tors in cases where there was no
clear-cut law violation. Applica
tions for permits to sell beer were
denied in 35 irtstances after a thor
ough investigation of the appli
cants.
Stricter screening of pejmit ap
plicants is a part of the new pro
gram, Allen said.
Hearings on citations issued af
ter inspectors have observed out
lets and found violations are how
ranging up to 00 a month. At'the I
jtrjesliiilt time, hearings o(i 45'cita
tions are pbnding.
Other deVbloptnehts in' the ,drive
to improve outlet standards and
eliminate .unsatisfactory conditions
include a request that operators
fully instruct their employees in
all laws and regulations, Allen
said. Many permits are lost be
cause employees do not know the
law governing beer sales, he ex
plained. “Ignorance of the law
cannot be accepted as an excuse
when the public interest is at stake
and we believe many mistakes can
be avoided if operators fully in
form their help,” he 1 added.
Tar Heels Inquire
Most About State
North Carolinians, closely fol
lowed by New Yorkers, were the
most frequent seekers of informa
tion about the Tar Heel State last
year, records of the State Adver
tising Division of the Department
of Conservation and Development,
show.
The bulk of 125,634 inquiries
aboutrthe State in 1955 were about
its vacation attractions, Advertis
ing Director Charles Parker said,
but the division also responded to
many requests for general infor
mation. During the year inquiries
came from all 48 states, the Dis
trict of Columbia, and 96 foreign
countries and territories.
The 10 states, producing the most
inquiries are, in order: North

screen out undesirable views;
and bushy plants serve well to

Coleus, a favorite of our grand

Kochia burning-bush makes a
2V4 foot conical plant of fine light
green foliage, which can be
trimmed like a hedge, and used
to enclose a bed or provide an
attractive background. In the
early fall, the whole bush be
comes bright carmine.
Celosias (cockscomb), bear
plumes of a texture resembling
plush or chenille, colored in
tones of red, pink, yellow and
orange. There are many varie
ties of different heights and
forms. Some are used by florists
in making corsages and the
plumes are easily dried for win
ter use.
Euphorbia (snow on th4 moun
tain) is related to the poinsettia.
It grows 2 feet tall, and bears
leaves of dark green edged with
white, which are attractive foils
for brighter colored plants.
The spider plant, cleome pun
gens. with its divided leaves and
dark stems, is a desirable foliage
plant even before its attractive
flowers develop.
Leaves of flowering plants dif
fer in tones of green, and for
gardeners interested in color
composition, there are blue
green, gray greens, and yellow
greens to consider. Stocks and
California poppies have gray
green foliage which is a restful
foil for their brilliant flowers.
Nasturtiums have yellow green
leaves, which add to the interest

Normally we may expect that 24 out of every 25 civilians in the I
labor force have jobs. That is (he approximate average for the
years since 1940 as pictured on the chart.
While it is understandable that the highest levels of civilian em
ployment were attained during the World War II and Korean War
periods, it is remarkable that employment levels remained so close
to the war peaks in the post-war years.
I As we emerged from the 1930’5, employment levels increased to
a peak in 1944, when 98.9 per cent of the labor force were employ
ed. In 1919, a recession, year, 94.5 per cent were employed. The
chart shows that during the Korean War employment levels did not
attain the highs recorded during World War 11. hut it is note
worthy that the decline in 1954 was only to 94.9 per cent, a higher
level than during 1949.
