THE GOBLINS By MARY LIZZIE LANE Put on your shoes, lace them up tight, We all know it will soon be 'Halloween night. All of us know when the sun goes down Gcblins and witches are walking all around. Look around all the corners and the bends, Don’t be afraid of the goblins, they are your friends. I used to love the witches and goblins I kept in line, I've always got along with the Halloween crew just fine. Now just watch when the sun goes down, Witches and goblins will begin creeping around. It was back there in the year of thirty-three When the goblins really began to visit with me. They were just little goblins, they were so shy, They wanted to make their visit before darkness was nigh. I met them out under the crape myrtle tree, Their little hands were cold as they could be. Some goblins are good and others bad, We should be happy and try to make them glad. Just give them some candy and bubble gum, you see, rhey’ll soon leave you and go home happy as can be. All you’vc-got to do just give them a broom stick, And the witches will shew you a wonderful trick. Their hair is so long and their noses so sharp, I don’t wonder at them not coming out before it’s dark. They’ll hide around in some shady spot Until they really think you have forgot. Then when the sun goes down, out they ccme And that’s when all the fun is really begun. When I see the little goblins standing there in a row, It m-kes my heart rejoice because I really lcve them so. It's just a game for the children, it comes once a year. Not let them wander away but keep them near. Danger is somelhing a child can’t really see, The responsibility is left up to you and me. I really love to see Halloween ccme, Just like I did when I was spry and young. Help every little goblin along the way, They still remember you when they’re old and gray. Some people get old and .forget hew things went, To ferget all the pleasure Halloween brought that I can’t. SHOP I. N. S. AT W. E. S.

Robert MdClease Holley, On November 3, the people will vote on 7 amendments to die Ninth Carolina Constitution. \ Here are the facts. When North Carolinians enter voting booths November 3, they will face seven important questions concerning changes in the State Consti tution. These proposals are the result of careful and extensive study, and all received the required three-fifths vote of both houses of the General Assembly before submission to the people. Because of the far-reaching effects of these Constitutional w ’ they are given below as they will appear on the ballot, followed by a brief explanation. Whether you approve or disapprove of any or all of these questions, it is important that you understand them, make up your own mind, and VOTE on November 3. 1 Revision and amendment of the Constitution of North Carolina. What it means: The present Constitution was adopted in 1868, and since then more than 70 changes have been made. Unlike amend ments to the Federal Constitution, those in North Carolina are not added to the end of the original, but are inserted into the sections where they apply. All this has resulted in a rather poorly worded document, and in the past two decades some parts (notably the lan guage establishing racially segregated schools) have been voided by the U.S. Supreme Court. The Constitution Study Commission and the Legislature agreed that our Constitution should be rewritten from beginning to end, retaining all rights- of the people, changing little in the way of govern mental functions and structure, but bringing it up to date. This rewrit ing is independent of the six other Constitutional questions. 2 Constitutional Amendment to require the General Assembly to reduce the number of State administrative departments to 25 and to authorize die Governor to reorganize administrative departments, sub ject to legislative approval. What it means: The basic goal is to streamline State government by grouping more than 300 separate departments, agencies and com missions into 25 or fewer agencies, each reporting to the Governor. All functions except (he General Court of Justice would be subject to re-grouping if approved. It is believed that such a re-grouping will bring about greater efficiency in the State government. 3 Constitutional Amendment permitting three-fifths of the members of die general Assembly to convene extra sessions of the General Assembly. What it means: Under our present laws, only the Governor, in consultation with the Council of State, has the power to call the Legislature into special session. If this amendment is passed, the presi ding officers of both legislative houses could jointly issue such a call upon receipt of written requests from of the members of each house. 4 Constitutional Amendment revising those portions of the present or proposed State Constitution concerning State and local finances. Wbl it means: This amendment would substitute an entirely new Article 5, which deals with State and local finances, and a new Article, 14, which detines what is meant by general laws.

While this tax is no longer used as a requirement for voting, it produces a relatively small amount of revenue for city and county governments. (B) Special tax areas within a city or county could be established and ft( raj§ 'lrig tb services rendered. The major application would be in citfr- ' 1 county consolidations where the municipalities within the consolida ted county government could be classified as special taxing districts. (C) The 204 per SIOO property tax limitation would be eliminated from the new article. This provision was outdated long ago by special levies for schools and other purposes. (D) In the present Constitution the so-called “necessary expenses” are the only basis by which local taxes may be levied and debts incurred by local governments without vote of the people. Under the proposed amendment, the General Assembly would make the final determination of which local govern mental activities are so important that taxes may be levied to support them without the necessity of a popular referendum on each issue. In place of the “necessary expense” principle would be the requirement that voters approve all taxes and bonds except those “for purposes authorized by general law uniformly applicable throughout the State.” (E) Specific categories would be established under which the general assembly can authorize local governmental units to contract public debts without a vote of the people. 5 Constitutional Amendment authorizing General Assembly to fix personal exemptions for income tax purposes. What it means: The present Constitutional guarantees (in Article 5) of personal income tax exemptions would be removed, and the authority to set these exemptions placed with the Legislature. Adop tion of this amendment would make it possible to eliminate certain inequities, and for a husband and wife to file a joint return, which is not now possible. The 10 per cent Constitutional maximum on State income tax rates would be retained. 6 Constitutional Amendment providing that after June 30, 1971, the escheats shall be used to aid North Carolina residents «mn>lM in any public institution of higher education in this State. What it means: An escheat is the property of a person who died leaving no will and no heirs. Under the present system, escheats are used to aid North Carolinians enrolled at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill only. When this system was first adopted, the University was the only State-supported institution of higher educa tion; today there are, in addition to UNC-CH, nine regional universi ties. This change will permit these other institutions to share in escheats. 7 Constitutional Amendment abolishing literacy requirement for voting. What it means: Article 5 of the present State Constitution says, “Every person presenting himself for (voting) registration dull be able to read and write any section of the Constitution in the English lan guage.” This requirement would be abolished, effective July 1,197 k The 1970 Voting Rights Act passed by the Congress of the United States banned all literacy tests as a requirement for voting.
