Democrats Praise Women For Political Contributions RALEIGH - “With another political season upon us, I’ve been very pleased to notice tha,t we have a good number of women running for office,” Vice-Chairman Betty Speir of the State Democratic Executive Committee said. “This is a tendency that has been on the increase for years, and I believe we’re the better off for it,” Mrs. Speir continued. “We have many North Carolina women already serving, on the municipal and county level, in the General Assembly, and in cabinet posts in state government. “We are past the old prejudices. The re quirements now are ability and understanding of . the problems that face us on every level. “I agree with Publisher Ashley Futrell of the W I I m.jk ] 'io i l y fi^M^w^U lpSll! % .. % , ||w *-^HIf f I K MUt m. ift 1 I v.o v Jt Jal Hb - b 11 I / • <-.;agp - I I Wr' * I i - ■ , ■ ~ s*f J? *Z X ; ,f\fi -i : gs f -?„ «* :c BBBHBBHHHRHBHHBHbhhhhHHhHHBBBBBHBBBBhHBB ’ ■-■ ’ ; : ’ . • v ■it Inflation is TAKMG l/S ALL FOR A RIDE, f The last decade and a half has shown us some pretty Through 1981, the cost of home phone service has . tl3 hefty increases in the Consumer Price Index.

In the political column written by Cliff Blue of Aberdeen, he is quoted as saying that women make fine can didates, and he does not detect any move to vote against a candidate because she happens to be a woman. “He is in a position to know, being a former State Senator from Beaufort County himself.” Vice-Chairman Speir concluded: ‘‘The Democratic Party welcomes women as can didates, effective Party workers and as people who have a lot to contribute on every level.” Memorial Day was first made a legal holiday in New York in 1873. New License Plate Is Available sJ RALEIGH The graphic “First in Flight” license plate debuted on January 11. Secretary W. R. “Bill” Roberson Jr. of the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) presented Governor Jim Hunt with the official “Number 1” license plate to announce the initial series of the new graphic plates. The design of the new graphic license plate has the words “North Carolina” and “First in Flight” imprinted in red, the number cast in blue, and the Wright air plane printed in light blue. The phrase “First in Flight” will first appear on the personalized and official plates. Approximately 28,500 personalized plates and 897 official plates with the graphic design are being mailed and should be received by vehicle owners no later than February 15, said Division of Motor Veh ciles (DMV) officials. The personalized plates and official plates (issued to officials like legislators, judges, Council of State, etc.) are issued annually at a cost of $lO, plus the regular license fee. The plates will have the year embossed on the upper corner of the plate. Officials at DMV note that those owners renewing under the staggered registration system will receive non-graphic plates until their current inventory of approximately 200,000 non-graphic plates is exhausted. These officials anticipate the non-graphic plate inventory will be depleted by late March 1982. The last plate number in the non-graphic series is ZR- Z 999. Once the non-graphics are depleted, vehicle owners will receive the new graphic (dates. The graphic plate being issued at the local branch offices will carry the numbers AAAII through ZZZIOO. The mail order service from DMV in Raleigh will be issuing graphic plates in the series ZSAIOI through ZZZ999. The non-graphic (dates have been designed for multi-year use. When they become illegible, the non graphic plates can be ex changed at DMV or at a local branch office at no charge. The series AAAIOI through Jay 999 in use since 1975, are being recalled due to their illegible, rusty or faded condition. All plates in this series will be replaced by August 15. The non-graphic plate can be secured by a vehicle owner who desires to replace a currently valid plate with a “First in Flight” graphic plate by paying a replacement fee of $9. The Department of Corrections’ Enterprise Section located at Central Prison manufactures the graphic plates at the rate of BOOKKEEPING AND TAX SERVICE Jackie Habit Whitehurst ; 806 North Broad Street Appointments Available 1 Call: 482-8215 I Thursday, January 21^1982.1 approximately 15,000 per day.
