FROM THE DESK OF SENATOR FORSYTH lliglUighl ol the first week ot the 1959 Legislature was Governor Hodge s message to a joint Senate and House group on Thursday. Out ol the Governor's message will come a flood of bills which will mean new legislation affecting virtually every citizen in North Carolina. No local legislation has yet been introduced directly af fecting the 33rd District, however, the statewide Polio Vaccination Bill was introduced in the Senate last Friday. The bill, if ratified, would make it mandatory for all children two months to six years to be vaccinated against polio. This bill is something the State is in need of and I shall vote for its passage. Local people who visited the Capital City last week and were guests in the Senate Chamber were: Percy B. Fercbce of Andrews, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Brumby and U. A. Mattox of Murphy. The new Speaker ol the House, Addison Hewlett, made a sur prise move in announcing his committee assignments early. The 33rd District was honored with many good committee assignments, especially Mrs. Giles W. Cover who is Chairman of the Committee on Expenditures and Leonard Lloyd ol Graham, Chairman of the important committee on Courts and Judicial Districts.
