SEE YOUR LOCAL FORD DEALER eluded HB 778 which would ap- I propria te money for an additional ; Department of Agriculture vet erinarian to perform diagnostic and other services in connection with diseased flocks and heids in Eastern NC; and SB 332 which would enable duly certified agen cies of producers of cattle for slaughter to require buyers to collect marketing assessments in force pursuant to referendum, iHB 632, relating to hog cholera ! control, and HB 64, regulating | peoper seed, were reported favor ably in the House. Local Government HB 506 and 508 which author | ize cities to annex areas without i holding elections passed by sub | stantial majorities in t“e House ! Thursday. The House amended ! the bills to entitle property own ers in the annexed areas who feel that the city has not followed ; through on planned services ex tension to sue to require the city to live up to its commitments. The House also passed HB 507, which revises procedures for an nexation of an area when all real property owners in the area pe tition for annev-fion. SB 181, providing for uniform assessment of property, and SB 162, requiring revaluation of tax able property every eight years on a staggered schedule so that approximately the same number of counties would revalue each year, passed the Senate Friday. Health HB 755 was introduced Tues day to create a State Board of Sanitarian Examiners for the li censing of sanitarians. In order to he licensed, a sanitarian would have to pass an examination, be a graduate of a 4-vear education al institution with a major in physical or biological science, and have had three years’ exper- ience in the field of environmen tal sanitation. Thp bill was pro posed by the sanitation section of the MC Public Heqßty. Asaocia-\ tion and- would accord Sthe sani tarians professional status. Un licensed persons performing sani- Itarian functions for health de-| pertinents would do so under the 1 technical supervision of licensed sanitarians, and could not repre sent themselves to be registered sanitarians. , i Minimum Wags Opponents of the minimum wage bill apparently accepted the inevitable, and the bill passed the Senate with a minimum of diffi culty. Proponents were confi dent of victory, but they were not willing to run the risk in volved in returning the bill to the House; accordingly, they did not seek to strike out any of the House amendments. The vote on third reading was 42-6. Finance Rep. Blue, Chairman of the House Finanec Committee, intro duced HB 768 to require with holding of State income taxes. The bill is essentially identical to a portion of the original Budget Revenue Bill. The new bill en ables the committee and House to consider the withholding provis ion free of other matters in the Revenue Bill. Other new bills 'included HB 740 and 749, ex empting from sales tax sales by Cherokee Indian Reservation merchants and sales of used text books; and HB 747, which would tax juke boxes an extra $5 for the benefit of the NC Symphony Society. State Government The House shook up HB 260, the Highway Commission shake up bill, by defeating it on second reading. Debate was lively and surprisingly brief. Immediately after only 32 members stood to vote for the bill. Rep. Kerr ap plied the legislative “clincher” and the bill was permanently dead. HB 580, which would enlarge the powers of the State Auditor and make him more independent of other executive offices, was shelved by House Judiciary 1. The bill contributed to one lively session of the House when its sponsor. Rep. Everett?, delivered a speech in which he sharply criticized Governor Hodges. HB 57. the State lands manage ment bill, passed the House Fri day. Roads and Highway Safety Motor vehicle bills have found the legislative road rocky indeed this session. During the past week three more bills proposing changes in the motor vehicle laws were reported unfavorably by the committees studving them. HB 4, which would have restrict ed the right of automobile lia bility i-ttirers to cancel or refuse to renew policies was killed by the House Committee on Insur ance. HB 7, which would have exempted tractors and trailers THICHCEAW OTHALft. MOXTH ftAAOUMJL THCMPAY, ||aY 14, mi. used to haul farm drain J tilfe or ditching equipment from regis tration and title certificate re- J quirements was ditched by ithe Roads and Highway Safety Com mittee. HB 686, which would | have permitted confiscation of j vehicles used in various theft ‘ type crimes, was adjudged bad by I House Judiciary 1. The drunk - ometer bill, SB 120, was in a coma in Senate Judiciary 2, and little hope was held for its recov ery. Already buried were HB 312, the motor vehicle annual mechanical inspection' bill; SB 119, which proposed to extend the power of officers to arrest without a warrant for violations of certain motor vehicle laws, and SB 153. which would provide State-paid defense attorneys fo highway patrolmen sued in con nection with official acts. • National Guard Police Pow-rs SB 287, originally provided that if National Guard units were or dered by the Governor into any county to assist'local law en forcement officers in maintaining law and order, Guard members would have the same power to make arrests and execute crimi nal process as does the county sheriff. Monday night the House amended the bill to provide that members of Guard units called out by the Governor pursuant to his constitutional authority should have arrest powers rea sonably necessary to accomplish the purposes for which they were called out. The amended, hill was ratified Wednesday. * Though opinions differed as to the effect of the amendment, there was considerable support for the position that the bill was j now simply declaratory of exist- j ing law. I Motorboat Regulation HB 733 regulates motorboat operation and equipment and im poses a registration-numbering system to permit ready identifi cation of motorboats. The omni bus bill —comparable in scope to the motor vehicles law—would be! administered bv the Wildlife Re-1 sources Commission. ————- i Frankly Speaking By Frank Roberts V -1 r> Prior to last Friday night’s em-ceeing job at the Edenton Junior-Senior Band banquet, I’d never before tackled that partic ular type of em-cee work. Thus I was plenty nervous to begin with. However, as the night' went on and all went so smooth ly, it got so I really enjoyed ev- ] ery second of the event. The NOTICE!

Holmes, an interesting and a very fine gentleman. Also had the opportunity of meeting Derwood Ebay for the very first time, and “nioved that meeting. It was definitely decided thht WCDJ would work very closely with the band, in presenting them over the radio as often as possible. However, regular broadcasts will not start until spring. One more thing, while on the subject: my congratulations to all of the youngsters who were appointed and elected to various offices and positions and to the three Who received their camp scholarships for this summer. Hollywood, in keeping with the times, has been on a rock ’n roll kick and in. the past year has come out with a slew of pictures concentrating on j ’n r music. One movie, “Go, Johnny, Go,” has thiem all beat. Some of the best rock ’n roll you’ll ever hear . . . and some of the top artists, are featured in this show. The big show on Broadway these days is a wild importation from i fri-ance called “La Plume de ma Tante,” and die title tune as re corded by Hugo and Luigi is one of the most tuneful platters to be released this year. “Come Soft ly To Me,” fell off the number one spot for the first time in al most four months. However, it’s Still a hot record, and one of the most listenable around. By the way. May has been des ignated as National Radio Month and at WCDJ we’re making plans for something of a revised for mat which you’ll be hearing be ginning the 10th of June. Mean time, we hope you’ll keep your dial set at 1260 and we’ll keep you entertained in a tasteful, tuneful, but always, a friendly manner. Check back with you in next week’s Herald.
