Page 6-A From The Gallery By Mildred Huskins Chaplain Edwards Sets Tone For Dignified Debate In House Os Representatives RALEIGH The House chaplain, Dr. Albert Ed wards, set the tone of the dignified debate which consumed the better part .of two full days last week in the House of Representatives where three bills dealing the capital crimes had been brought out of the Judiciary Committee for debate. Dr. Edwards opened the House session Tuesday with prayer in which he took note of the fact that “toil of the mind is more tortuous than of the hand’’ and sought Divine guidance for members as they were called upon to search for the Ten Attend Choral Festival Ten John A. Holmes High School choral students and Mrs. Shelby Strother, choral director, attended the All- State Choral Festival May 5 and 6 in Greensboro. Cheryl Redman, Lynn Overton, Teny White, Neel White, Charles Littlejohn, Richard Williams, David Cross, Dyrol Joyner, James Jones, and Mike Brown joined approximatley 475 other North Carolina students, representing 79 schools, as participants for the festival and concert.

Hie only bill which did not provide for the death penalty in some cases was explained by the sponsor, Rep. Parks Helms of Mecklenburg, and, after considerable debate and a small amount of par liamentary maneuver ing, it was voted down. It then came the time for Rep. James Morgan, freshman legislator from High Point, to explain his measure, which would allow conductor for the Alabama Little Symphony. Prior to the Friday night concert, which was held in Aycock Auditorium on the UNC-G campus, all students attended 12 hours of intensive preparatory rehearsals over the two-day period. The musical selections for the program were varied. Soloists on the program were music majors from UNC-G. The State Choral Festival and Concert is one of many projects of the Choral Sections of the N. C. Music Educators Associations for high school students to participate, the attending school’s choral director must be a member of the NCMEA. The chorus is limited to the 500 singers. for the death penalty to be imposed in first degree murder cases which were committed after “careful premeditation.” The young attorney said he had been accused by his colleagues of being dressed in his “jury suit” to argue his bill. Hie final explanation came when Rep. Bob Jones of Rutherford brought out his bill, which provides for the death penalty for first degree murder. The vote and debate on the Helms measure came late in the afternoon and Speaker Carl Stewart thanked the membership for the manner in which they had conducted the very serious matter “and for giving the Speaker a good workout.” Wednesday debate was to come up on the two other bills dealing with capital punishment so the chaplain reminded the Man Upstairs that: “they now have the stripped carcass and all that is left is the hash. But, we know, Lord, that hash in the hands of a good cook is delicious. Help them to meet the challenge.” It was during the debate on the Morgan bill that Rep. Sam Bundy of Pitt asked if he could ask the Gentleman from Guilford a question and use an example. Since the bill provided for murder of a public official as “an aggravating cir cumstance,” the Gentleman from Pitt supposed that someone in the gallery shot him while he was engaged in his business of lawmaking on the floor of the House. And he continued that then that would be a capital of fense. Mr. Morgan agreed. Then he said: “Just suppose I resigned and someone shot me. That would not under your bill be a capital of fense?” he wanted to know. “No, but, sir, I hope you don’t resign,” replied the Guilford legislator. “And I don’t want to be killed • twice,” continued Mr. Bundy . But the Gentleman from Pitt wist still hot ‘ satisfied. “You mean that if someone killed my wife that would not be a capital of fense?” asked Mr. Bundy. The patient Mr. Morgan, hoping to bring the questions to an end, by spreading it on pretty thick, said: “Knowing your wife, I couldn’t imagine anyone doing that.” After which Bundy suggested that they have a little talk about that lata-. There had been a great deal of votes on all sorts of measures and motions and the Speaker had found himself called upon to make rulings, some of which he had much rather not made. At time the vote was 55- 55 and the chair voted although he didn’t have to vote for the measure would have failed anyway. Then, at one point, there was a motion to adjourn, designed to cut off debate and allow for re-grouping. Prior to the vote the speaker said: “If the vote is again 55-55, I’m leaving.” He put the question and the vote was 58-58 which broke the ten sion for the time being but, as expected, the motion failed. Monday evening, Rep. Clyde Auman, peach farmer from Moore County, asked House members to vote for a resolution congratulating and commending Pinecrest High School girls basketball team for its performance and sportsmanship in winning the state 4-A con ference championship. ‘‘These are the finest peaches in North Carolina,” Rep. Auman said. Later he thanked his colleagues for their votes and promised MSCKSSK FAT IS UGLY. LOSE ID MON AOEX is .the mod aWecthre wight io« pun no uHtbiif w n iwr He.

It happened there were several names which Sam Burrow had considerable difficulty with after which Speaker Stewart said: “It is beginning to sound more and more like introducing the UNC basketball team.” Finally, as first order of business Thursday, the death penalty bill was Around Chowan County Farms By R.M. Thompson, County Ext. Chairman Many farmers have already planted soybeans but for those who have not, May 15 should be your target date. We are suggesting that you try to plant eight seed to the foot of row as this should give you six to seven plants per foot of row. One of the problems that we have had in the past has been weed control.

Four months ago, the State Library launched the program with an intensive 5- day briefing session at Apex - Phase I. Three expert teachers, from different parts of the nation, in structed librarians from a majority of the library systems in the state. The second phase of the Community Analysis was conducted by the “students” - in our case, Perquimans County Librarian Wayne Henritze and myself. Calling on the assistance of the entire staff of the Pet tigrew Regional Library, Wayne has accumulated a mountain of facts about Chowan, Perquimans, Tyrrell and Washington counties with the main emphasis on library service. Assembling the information and arranging the statistics in meaningful pattern! is an important step in the effort to evaluate the quantity, quality and appropriateness of library service. Phase 111 was a com bination class reunion and testing situation. We met again last week, in Apex, to exchange experiences, to receive further instruction, and to exhibit the results of our efforts. Progress ranged from a completed survey in one county to minimal data gathering in others.

M. passed oh second and third reading and a great sigh of relief went up as members plunged into the lengthy calendar which had ac cumulated during the three days devoted to the three bills. It was time to have a little fun and it broke out when Rep. Gordon Greenwood of Buncombe arose to explain a bill which was cosponsored by Rep. Fred Dorsey of Henderson, one of the few Republicans on the back row. The Gentleman from Henderson was in fine form and took his kidding like a man. v First off the Speaker asked Mr. Greenwood if he had heard the sponsors names correctly and was, to 1.0 lb.

Our progress was judged satisfactory and we were given handsome certificates of recognition. The State Library distributed the certificates and the checks to cover travel expenses (from special LSCA - i.e. federal - funds for training) and announced the next deadline. A final report on the analysis is due by December Ist. It is a for midable task, with four counties to cover, but our best efforts will be devoted to it because of the im portance for future plans. SCREECHES PHASE-IN Taking advantage of the presence of several committee mem bers in Apex, the Advisory Council for the Processing Center held a special meeting last week. One subject of discussion was the use of computer ter minals for cataloging new bodes. The State Library has a limited number of them which are in almost constant use during regular hours. One suggested method for taking ad vantage of than was to phase-in extended, swing shift, hours for the Processing Center staff. This would speed up the handling of the catalog cards and make better use of some very expensive equipment. assured that Rep. Dorsey had, indeed, co-sponsored the measure. “Well, then will the gentleman explain the bill and a few other things, too,” chided the speaker. “Are there any rules against that?” asked Rep. Dorsey and he was assured by the Chair that there were none. After Rep. Greenwood had explained the bill the Gentleman from Henderson sought to speak on the bill. “The gentleman may defend himself,” said the frisky presiding officer. Before Mr. Dorsey could get started Rep. P.C. Collins arose. “For what purpose does to 1.75 lb. Cracking Stage Small emerged broadleaf weeds and grass in 2-leaf stage or less A.

We’ve already suspended Rule 12d,” said the speaker who was referring to the fact that the Gentleman from Alleghany usually makes that motion so that mem bers might take food and drink on the floor during protracted sessions. “I just wanted to ask Mr. Greenwood if he will hold that tall for a week or two so I can get another co sponsor.” The fun was over ...• almost. \Vhen the vote was taken Rep. Dorsey pushed the wrong button and voted against his bill. He asked the members to suspend the rules so that he could vote aye on the bill, which they did. There had been a lot of talk in the General Assembly since ERA about changing words which denote sex of the person. Rep. Stanford White of Dare was explaining a bill which would rearrange the Marine Fisheries Commission and the Commercial and Sports Fisheries Committee. Rep. Wilda Hurst of Onslow asked if they couldn’t change sports fishermen to sports person. “I’m a great sports person,” she said. They were telling the story around the legislative halls that Rep. Hurst went into a meeting of the House Committee on Health the other day and asked: “What have we today?” She was told by Chairman Barney . Woodard: “Unclaimed bodies.” Mrs. Hurst said, “I’ve got a few bodies I wish somebody would claim.” That Senate Wildlife Committee is still wrestling with that beast of a bill which would rewrite the state’s wildlife laws.
