Page 8-B The Carolina Review Ongoing Effort . . -The public bearing on North Carolina’s several redistricting plans in Raleigh last week proved only one thing. Hie public, or their self-appointed spokesmen, don’t know a bit more about redistricting than the legislators do. Admittedly, the carnival atmosphere in the hearing room was not conducive to expert testimony. In ad dition, the testimony was further complicated by the painfully sparse in formation available to the witnesses prior to the hearing. That apparently unavoidable dearth of in formation was caused by so little time having elapsed since the “latest” Congressional and Senate plans were made available from their respective committees. The House redistricting plans was even more “iffy” right up until the crowds began to gather for the hearing on the Legislative Building’s upper level. Although the time element proved prohibitive, the committees did manage to make sample maps available of certain “trial” plans. Unfortunately, it became fairly obvious that such plans were subject to change even as the wit nesses were pouring out their sentiments on this or that particular con figuration. Subsequently, witnesses were reduced to framing their remarks with “should this plan be recommended” or “the one in the newspaper this morning,” or, more often than not, total disapproval of anyting of fered. A constant parade of local county politicians (especially Democratic party representatives in threatened districts), various black community spokesmen, and a spat tering of others, all served up the same message-for divergent reasons- to the lawmakers.

Os course, virtually all of the critics offered their own suggestions for improving the plan. Many brought along maps, but even the best-prepared didn’t have anything ready for dispersal and study. Essentially, there were few local politicians who could find agreement on crossing county lines or the whereto 6 of single-member districts. Meanwhile, black community defenders talked eloquently against dilution of the black vote and where best to achieve black voting enhancement. To complicate matters even worse, representatives of seemingly the same in terests couldn’t even agree totally on how to ac commodate those interests. In short, the hearing was a mess. And the legislators already knew the one lesson to be learned there; final reapportionment, already made just about impossible by federal disapproval and political infighting, isn’t going to make anyone happy. The big difference now is the legislators are accepted of the fact that they will be blasted no matter what course they take. Many feel, perhaps rightfully so, they can blame the problems directly on the feds. So look for the legislators to pass only minimally acceptable plans this week after some perfunctory protestations for the folks back home. Which plans will be passed? The ones in “this mor ning’s paper.” w Zb/ } y' A The peanut is really a bean, not a nut. -A IICIUMS Millions of super seeds for tomorrow’s forest are being processed right now at Weyerhaeuser’s seed or chard in preparation for the Spring planting season at the company seedling nursery. The processing • seed stratification as it’s called - includes soaking the seeds in water for 24 hours and removing the culls that float to the top. The good seeds are then placed in 35-degree cold storage for 60 days. The genetically improved loblolly pine tree seeds are then treated with a mild fungicide to protect them, prior to being shipped to the nursery for planting. The orchard is processing some 6,500 pounds of seed this year, which translates into about 65-million trees for the future. The seeds can be frozen and kept for future use, if they are not needed for planting right away. Weyerhaeuser’s seed or chard and seedling nursery are located in Beaufort County. The nursery is currently lifting this year’s crop of seedlings which are being planted in the recently harvested forest areas now. William D. Gurganus of Plymouth will be retiring at the end of this month. He is a rotary screen operator in the Plymouth Fiber Group with 30 years service with the company.
