MURPHY’S LAW-
According to the Funk &
Wagnalls Standard College
Dictionary, Murphy’s Law
is “The principle that
whatever can possibly go
wrong will” and there are
times when Murphy’s Law
seems to prevail. The past
ten days gave me ample
proof of that.
My first inkling that
things might not work out as
planned came when I
arrived in Raleigh for the
weekend. A large family
' outing had been arranged in
honor of Etienne’s third
birthday but at the last
minute there were only four
of us who could go to the new
zoo in Asheboro and besides,
it looked like rain. My
daughter Vicki and I took
the two boys (Etienne and
lag brother Marcel) for a
quick tour, just managing to
finish before the skies fell on
us. The Honda company
picnic was in full swing
when we got back but we
forgot to bring swim suits. I
managed to sprain my
thumb playing volleyball
and would up the day trying
and would up the day
trying to mediate a
wedding plans.
My arrival in Greensboro
was even more prine to
mishaps. My reservation at
the motel was in good order
but the arrangements for
the North Carolina Libary
Association Bicentennial
Committee meeting had
gone astray. In
straightening out the first
mess; the management
switched room numbers on
me and none of my
telephone messages were
delivered. Despite the mix
up, we had a very
productive meeting during
which we began planning for
another forum series
similar to the successful one
held this past spring.
My vacation plans were
fouled up because my letter
to Greensboro suggesting a
golf game with a friend
there never arrived. So I
decided to try a new golf
course and got caught in a
thunderstorm. Besides
getting drenched, I lost my
umbrella.
Th next thing that went
wrong was a bit more
serious. The flowers
ordered for my son
Stephen’s wedding were
sent my mistake to San
Francisco and were two
days late in getting to
Raleigh. However, “All’s
well that end well” and by
evengone pitching in,
literally, the wedding in the
meadow went very
smoothly.

Wood Soys
State Needs
Stroog Auditor
DURHAM-A strong,
independent state auditor
who can insure that state
funds are properly spent is
urgently needed, George
Wood, candidate for the
Democratic gubernatorial
nomination, said Friday.
Wood, campaigning in
Durham, proposed that the
state auditor be appointed
and that he issue
performance audits.
The present auditor is
elected.
“Members of the General
Assembly should select the
auditor and name him to a
long-term, perhaps as much
as 10 years,” Wood said. “In
this way the auditor could
hold an independent office
and would be able to act
without fear of displeasing
anyone.”
The auditor must have the
authority to examine
spending and performance
of all state programs, Wood
said.
Under Wood’s proposal,
the auditor would report to
the General Assembly, the
governor and the public.
The auditor now reports
officially to the Advisory
Budget Commission.
“The people thus will
know who is responsible for
overseeing state funds,”
Wood added. “More
efficient and more economic
government is bound to:
result.”
Better utilization of state
funds has been a key Wood
campaign theme. He has
urged establishment of a
sunset law which would
require periodic reapproval
of all state programs and
reorganization of the
legislature to make it more
efficient.
