state's 109-year-old - landlord
tenant laws. Originally develop
ed to regulate sharecropping as
a means of land tenure, these
laws now regulate urban tenan

tenant laws have been a con
stant controversy since the
1971 legislative session.
Always instrumental in the
defeat of landlord - tenant
legislation in the past have
been legislators from the state's
eastern counties. There, share
cropping is alive and kicking.

proposals introduced by Frye
sought to regulate sharecropp

Horton Roundtree of Pitt
County, formerly opposed to
landlord legislation, signed the
bill at Frye's request. Contact
ed at his Greenville home,
Roundtree said he had opposed
the previous landlord-tenant

suited for North Carolina.
"They had a New York and
Philadelphia flavor . that just
wouldn't work In North
Carolina. They had how high
you had to maintain the
temperature and. so forth."
He continued saying, "Henry's
bill is much more palatable for
North Carolina."
Frye admits that the bill

We are now entering our severe storm season as
evidenced by the recent series of tornadoes that struck Ala
bama and the ensuing heavy flooding in Kentucky, West
Virginia and four other states. The recent rash of airplane
accidents helps to.reemphasize a growing need for people .
to be prepared to react in emergencies caused by man-made :
and natural disasters.
As a coordinating agency, the Division of Civil Prepared
ness of the N. C. Department of Crime Control and Public
Safety, has duties whose success depends on the willingness
of citizens to cooperate for the common good during emer
gencies. To further tht end and to expand public aware
ness of a joint responsibility between the citizens of the
United States and those charged with helping to protect
them, - the NBC Television Network will feature a special
television program entitled "The National Disaster Survival
Test." The 90-minute program produced in cooperation
with the National Safety Council will be shown Sunday,
May 1 at 8 p.m. Several vivid examples of what to do in
emergency situations - floods, fires, tornadoes and
vehicle accidents -- will be shown and viewers will be able to
evaluate and grade themselves as to their own reaction and
how to survive in each instance by using a special Test Sheet.
A copy of the Test Sheetjs printed below. Clip it, leave it
near your television set. for the telecast on May 1 .
