Thursday. June 14, 1979 News From The Gallery By Mildred Hub kins RALEIGH - The first' session of the 1979 General Assembly has ended with the upper chamber mem bers closing down in a huff and the house, which had waited around for almost two days for that body to complete its work, recessed a few minutes later. That’s not the way it should have been done. We hold, somewhat, to tradition and, according to the general practice, the two houses bury all their gripes and face each other across the center court for an im pressive ceremony which ends the months of hard work. But when men must be boys, even in the position of leadership, it is not too good. There has been a definite undercurrent (and sometimes not so under) all during the session that the two legislative leaders have beat practicing the fine art of oneupmanship. They spoke to the press and TV cameras before they spoke to their colleagues. They were almost too available for public appearances and Their talks sounded like campaign oratory. Os all the indications that this six Jaycettes Hold Meeting The Edenton Jaycettes held their monthly meeting on June 7 at 7 P.M. at Mrs. Boswell’s Restaurant with 16 members present. Jackie Smith was in stalled as a new member and given a pin by President Carolyn. Dr. Robert Lane gave a very interesting and in formative talk about’ first aid and necessary items one might need to have this summer during various outdoor activities. Claire Mills also gave a demonstration on cardio pulmanary resuscitation (CPR). We were informed that the truck pull and teen-age dance were successful. Claire Mills reported on the state convention which was held in Winston-Salem.

C. months has been one of political maneuvering, we simply did not expect grown men in places of leadership would end a session in a put, but that is just what hap pened. % The lieutenant governor, who presides over the senate and has had his way with the members, was readily available to the microphones and the press as soon as the senate had . adjourned without a word to ' the house members who had 'waited to receive the final bills. He was liberal in his. praise of the work of the members and says he will soon announce his political ambitions while the public waits in anxious an ticipation. Then a few minutes later Speaker Carl Stewart, Jr., of Gaston, two term house speaker and vowed candidate (for. something) had his say. He * thought the legislature had lasted too long and had done too little. He was careful not to criticize the governor for not sending over some dazzling legislation and finally dubbed the session “lackluster”. There is no question, and there has been none for the past several months, that the bright the Ways and Means Committee and informed us of some different projects we could do this year. Linda Renner reported on the July cookout and dance which will be held on July 14. The cookout will start at 8 o’clock and following will be a dance. Jim Boswell will provide the music. The cost will be sls a couple. Concert Is Slated The Edenton Athletic League will sponsor a music extravaganza Sunday at the Perquimans County High School football field in Hertford. It begins at 4 P.M. Frank White, Jr., spokesman for the project, said disc jockies from the surrounding area will provide the entertainment. young man from Gaston will be on the i 960 Democratic ballot. After what we thought had been a very busy and productive session of the General Assembly, made up of conscientious men and women, it was a bit disappointing to find the leadership to be pretty small politicians. However, early in the week the speaker had in dicated it would be a real busy one and that members should be ready to attend closely to the business of getting house bills onto the floor and attended to. Monday evening he warned the bevy of pages: “Pages, walk swiftly, this week.” All during the session It has been a little joke to characterize the upper chamber as one which is hard to deal with for there had been a very large split on the budget after Rule 85 was born in the senate. In conference there would be no agreement but a delay in Continued On Page 3-B N.C. Funding Is Approved The N. C. Board of Transportation has ap proved a request to allocate $106,000 as the state’s match for a new federal program which provides extensive carpooling and vanpooling incentives. The state may also receive a maximum of $644,000 in federal funds. Both allocations are contingent upon federal approval of an application by the N. C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT) to participate in the National Ridesharing Demonstration Program. During the June meeting, the board authorized Secretary of Transportation Tom Bradshaw to submit a letter to interest to the U. S. Department of Trans portation requesting consideration for funding under the new National Ridesharing Demonstration Program. The two-year program, sponsored jointly by the Federal Highway Ad ministration and the Urban Mass Transportation Ad ministration, will provide $2-million for funding up to 10 projects. A maximum of $250,000 is available for funding of each project. North Carolina will apply for funds under the program to promote ridesharing through the establishment of lower van loan rates, up to three park and ride lots, a buspooling incentive program, and a ridesharing marketing program. Charlotte, Greensboro, High Point, Winston-Salem, Durham, Chapel Hill and Raleigh have participated in the grant planning process. The application also in cludes plans to improve the /organization of ridesharing promotion in these cities. Bradshaw said, “Ridesharing is an effective response to the rising cost and fluctuating supply of gasoline, especially in this state where many residents are long-distance com muters. The demonstration program would provide incentives to inceease the percentage of long-distance commuters who participate in rideshare programs.” In other public, trans portation-related business, the board received in formation concerning requests for allocation of $55,350 in state funds for planning public trans portation programs in cities and non-urban areas statewide. Hie state funds would be matched by $50,050 in local monies and $421,600 in federal funding. The board is expected to take action on these requests at the July meeting in Stanly County.
