read, to my son. Billy. I wis
In the put quarter a t a
century, no Legislative has
been faced villi more prob
lems than does the 1961 Ses
sion. Three things stand out
perhaps more than any other,
which are: 1. Aid id education:
2. redlstrtcdng (he Stale (or
Congressional Districts; S.
reapportionment of the State
House and Senate.
Throughout State agencies
more spending Is seen. The
budget prepared by theBudget
Advisory Commission has a
record-breaking total of 1 1/3
billion dollars, which repre
sents an increase. This will
include $979,771,641.00 in
State funds with the remain
der coming from Federal
sources.
Governor Terry Sanford has
indicated he will ask the Gen
eral Assembly for additional
funds for schools and is pre
pared to recommend tax in
creases, if necessary, to raise
the money.
The budget which ??s ex
pected tn these days of high
er cost, greater needs, and
more people, certainly Is a
large one. It would seem to
me that this budget does not
recognize the ability or the
willingness of the people to
pay for the services they re
commend. I am looking for
ward to hearing of Governor
Sanford's recommendation on
how to raise new money to
meet these services.
Last week was the business
of getting organized, with of
ficers being elected in the
Senate and the House and on
Friday, Lt.Gov. Phllpottnam
ed the standing Committees
of the Senate.
Your Senator was named
Chairman of the Committee
on Salaries and Fees; Vice
Chalrman of the Finance
Committee, and a member
of the following committees:
Banking, Local Government,
Propositions and Grievances,
University Trustees, Wildlife.
Conservation and Develop
ment and the Committee to
redlstrlct the State's Con
gressional Districts.
The Finance Committee has
the responsibility of raising
money to* meet the cost of
State Government. As Vice
Chairman of the Committee,
1 expect this will be a tre
mendous problem.
' North Carolina will lose
one Congressman under the
National reappropiate of the
House of Representatives. It
is the duty of the Committee
on redlstricting the Congres
sional Districts to work out
this problem. North Carol
ina's twelve Districts will be
reduced to eleven and North
Carolina's geography and pop
ulation makes this job very
difficult.
The budget indicated to the
General Assembly that money
will be available to pay the
teachers their promised 5%
bonus at the end of this fiscal
year, June 30, 1961. This tea
cher's bonus was devised by
the 1959 Assembly and Is based
on revenues collected over and
above theLegisladve estimate
of $283,000,000.00. This 596
bonus will take approximately
J7.000.000.00.
I was appointed, along with
Senator Cutler Moore of Rob
erson, to escort Governor
Sanford to the rostrum for him
to make his appropriations
speech to the General
Assembly. When his speech
was finished and going with
him back to his office, he
autographed the speech he

My Senate Seat Is 9 and I
consider It a very high honor
to alt by my good friend, Sen
ator Llndsey Warren of Beau
fort. Senator Warren was la
the National Congress for
about 20 years before accept
ing Comptroller of the Cur
rency under the Rooaevelt
administration. He was nick*
named "The Watchdog of the
Treasury." Senator Warren Is
one of the most respected
and a bled men in our Nation,
and a very outstanding North
Carolinian.
1 appreciate It very much
being honored by the citizens
of the 33rd District in again
sending me to your State
Legislature to represent you
there. I hope I can do this in
a satisfactory way. I promise
that I will certainly do the
best job I can (or you.
My address In Raleigh is:

wish to talk with me, I will

The 1961 Session o< the North
Carolina Legislature la now
laiderway. The House, al which
1 am privileged to be a mem
ber, convened at noon Wednes -
day, February the 8th, and
officially elected Its officers.
Joseph Hunt o ( Greensboro
was elected Speaker of the
House.
In a tump ting to Inform the
people of Cherokee County
about the doings of the Legis
lature. I want to first thank
them lor allowing me b> re
present Cherokee County
citizens. I deem it a great
privilege.
In organizing. I felt that
there was a slight confusion;
however, experienced law
makers ssy that this usually
happens, and next week when
all committee assignments
have been made, that then we
can really get down to work.
Two committees have been
already assigned in the House.
These are the money commit
tees. Finance and Appropriat
ions. The Finance Committee
arranges to get the money, and
the Appropriations Committee
spends it. I was selected on
appropriations.
Some of my collegues have
told me that the Appro
priations Committee work is
very interesting, as different
aspects of state government
are revealed In the several
agencies, sctools, colleges,
etc., as they explain (heir
cause to (his Important com
mittee.
There was much talk In this
beginning week about re
distrlcdng (he state's con
gressional districts, as North
Caroliaa will lose one coo
gressman under the National
Congress Reapportionment
Act.
Money for state schools,
which Includes pay raises for
teachers and capital Improve
ments (much needed In this
county), reapportionment of
the State House ind Senate,
all of which make me think
there is lots of work to be
done.
Governor Sanford's mes
sage on the budget was most
Interesting. He reserved his
recommendations on some
parts of this budget, and will
give them to us next week.
Particularly am 1 anxious to
find out how he expects to
raise new money.
I expect to be in Cherokee
County most every weekend,
and I will certainly be glad to
talk with anyone about any
problem they might have with
which I can be of assistance
to them.
