It la ron flned to diseassions of matters of General Interest and major imporl am-r. A tempered increase in the legislative pace paired with a cold northwest wind to send solons home this weekend with quickened pulses. The House put together its first two back-to-bnck 10-bill days in new introductions, sig nalling mild bullish tremors for heavier going ahead. Both houses enjoyed their maiden full-dress de bates of the year on tile “UNO at Charlotte” bill. While immediate attention cen tered on these mid-week debates, the paH of overhanging issues which have not yet crystallized in hill form thickened. Prominent absentees included such measures as the public-private power settle ment, the Courts Commission pro posals, the auto inspection bill and the I'niform Commerced Code. In all of .these areas new bills are anticipated soon, but for reasons tactical or otherwise have not yet been introduced. Higher Education Big news of- the week- was a lively floor tussle provoked bv the “I NC at Charlotte” bill when it i-eaehed the floor of both cham bers.

Phone 482-2217 klirg lights as it witnessed long j debates on the merits and a sur- j prisingly strong effort to recoin- j mit the bill (SB 10) to Apprepria- | tions for further committee hear- 1 ings on financial aspects of “uni versitizing” Charlotte College. The motion to recommit was defeated by a vote of 27-21 and final p:is suer was promptly achieved by voice .vote with but a smattering of opposition. On Thursday the scene shifted to the lower cham ber when the companion House bill (HB 35) was brought up for floor consideration. A day’s de bate did not suffice to exhaust House dialecticians, and at week’s i ml the hill was put over to next Tuesday for a return to the fray. Appropriations and Finance Two new funds hills were launched this week. SB 37 (HB 106» would appropriate $37,500 for the construction of a rehearsal building at Fort Raleigh, national historic site in Dare County to match a federal offering of like amount. HB 94, introduced by Rep. Collier of Iredell, would, up the subsistence allowance for members of state boards and commissions to a maximum of S2O from present levels of sl2 in-state and sl4 out-of-state. It appears that this may be a trial balloon for a later proposal to augment legislative subsistence allowances similarly. On the tax side the week I brought a lone new' entrant, a bill ito give an additional $5,000 in j heritance tax exemption to de pendent offspring who are incap ! able of self-support and to their j widow ed mothers. Thus far this session no legislative paladin has been so bold as to introduce a tax increase proposal. Roads and Motor Vehicles The beginnings of a motor ve hicles program began to take shape this week as several new introductions saw their debuts. These included proposals to in crease penalties for temporary larceny of vehicles (HB 120); to exclude the transportation of perishable farm products from the motor vehicles law' definition of “contract carrier vehicles” (HB <)Xj; and to exclude vehicles leased to the United States on a non-profit basis from the defini tion of “for-hire vehicles” (HB 95). Friday brought a flock of new bills affecting auto liability insur ance laws. Reps. Bunn and Wood introduced three bills to raise the required coverage of liability policies for passenger vehicles, taxicabs and rental vehicles to SIO,OOO - $25,000 - $5,000 (HB 125, HB 120 and HB 127). In the up per house ISen. Whitehurst un veiled three proposals of the Leg islative Council—that an insurance agent’s acceptance of an applica tion for liability insurance under tile assigned risk plan should im mediately bind the ultimate car rier (SB 45); that provisional li censees (Hi to 18 years old) who do not own their cars not be re quired to maintain proof of finan cial responsibility (in addition to family coverage) for license re issuance solely because of license suspensions for certain lesser of fenses (SB 46); and that revoked registrations and suspended li censes for failure to have financial responsibility not be reinstated until at least 30 days after sur render of a driver license or reg istration plate (SB 47). HB 122 introduced by Rep. UzjeLl would require that an owner’s liability policy furnish coverage for all persons in lawful possession of a vehicle. On the road front, this week saw further progress for the Gov ernor’s proposals for Highway Commission reorganization and oad bonds. The S3OO million road bonds bill passed the Sen ate on Friday without opposition (SB 15) and the SHC reshuffle anteloped through the House on Thursday. Barring surprises, one if these measures might well emerge as one of the first major enactments of the session. Other Following close on the heels of the N. C.

An often-considered pro ;posa) to abolish capital punish ment (for murder, arson and i burglary) was reiintroduced this ! week, ift t£e House by Repi Hill and others (Hit 100).

Fraikly Speaking uv etAAUIC nABSAmo. iti rßnim ivuuufrrSy First of aIL my Blanks go to the many folKs who had kind comments concerning my article in last week’s Grit. It was fun to write, enjoyable to get paid for . . . but the biggest thrill of all for me, was to see it ac tually in print, with nary a word changed from the original. A piece of correspondence I will treasure came from a real nice guy named Conrad Payne. i He works out of Norfolk and is in charge of the Tidewater Reg ional Blood Center for the Red Cross. He congratulated the Jaycees on the work they did and said that everyone in the "center knew we would go be -yond our quota of 85. He said ,he took a bet (just a small one) that we would exceed the 100 mark and he was pleased by the margin with which we did THAT. I’ve enjoyed my chair manship of this project and will ‘do all 1 can to help the next man. His task is made a lot easier by the people he works with . . . and especially by - those who come down and do nate that all important pint of blood. 1 It was .enjoyable judging that 'last Miss Perquimans Contest in Hertford. Best they had yet, from the point of view of ex ceptional talent. Reports have been reaching me that the fire department sometimes has a rough time get ting to a fire. Some pre-occu pied drivers in cars ahead have exhibited neither the courtesy or common sense to pull off and let bn have the right of way, which is legally theirs. Wouldn’t it be ironic if it was their property that was on fire. The 1 Chowan Herald has the latest. North Carolina Variety Vacation books. They’re inter-! esting and colorful and contain stories and pictures about many places in North Carolina that a lot of Tarheelians don’t even j know about. Our local numismatist John Taylor, made our family richer ,by sl2 the other day. Re camp over to the house and plowed through some old coins we had. Result was 13- eente weetb netted us that sl2. This man is an authority on coins, and if you have any you think are valuable jiust give him a call. They don’t come any nicer and he’ll be glad to explain the values of your eains. Audrea Rowell asked me if I’d be interested in a few old rec ords. Since I collect the things (and they in turn, collect dust, my wife says) I said I would . . . figuring on a few more for my collection. I wound up with almost a thousand valuable old timers. I was doing her a flavor helping clean out her attic and it all proved mutually beneficial. Thanks to Harry Venters for getting me a subscription -to the 4-H magazine. More details later . . . but if you’ve got some kind of a-talent, keep in touch with us concern ing the forth-coming American Legion Fair. Grand Prize will be a round-trip, all-expense-paid i IrtChowan Buy Savings Bonds Chowan County resMewts more than doubled the state percent age of Savings Bond purchases .during January. R. Graham. White of Peoples ißank & Trust Company, Chowan County volunteer chairman, re ports that during January sales were $14,207 in Chowan, which is 19.1 per cent of the county’s 1965 quota of $74,340. In the same month, sales for the state totaled $4,780,924, a 3.7 per cent drop from January a year ago. 'Sales ‘ amounted' to 8.9 per cent of this year’s goal. The 1965 animal dollar goal assigned to North Carolina is $53,100 000, which is an increase of $3,100,000 over last year’s goat . three-day vacation for two to New York City . . . plus . . . two tickets to a major Broadway play. Vi** To Baptist Chare* ! On Sunday: February 28, the Edenton Jaycees visited the Edenton Baptist Church as a group. H*y were welcomed to the service by Rev. R. N. Car roll, pastor. In the past years the Jaycees have periodically visited with the churches within Edenton and Chowan County. This is in line with the religious emphasis pro gram carried on by the Jaycees each year. ON HONOR ROLL Irma Jean Goodwin, a fresh man at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, made the honor roll for the first semester. She is the daughter of Mr, and Mrs. W. P. Goodwin- of Eldenton. C^666
