* RALEIGH ROUNDUP m BY TOM OUTLAW SEATS . . . Would you like to buy a chair? The State will soon put on retirement the 170 chairs used by members of the General Assembly for more than 100 years. Like most antiques, they are beautiful items of furniture, pegged and glued as In the old days. If the State sells them, they wlll bring a handsome price from people who sit casually, seldom, and who do not mind holding their breath as they lower themselves into historic pieces which have held many a noble posterior. A member of the Legislature of 1919 said they were worn out in 1900. The State was loath to part with them, preferring to rush a few of them out at intervals for repair. This has happened during sessions of the Legislature, the member or members affected being forced to sit in regular chairs or do their thinking while standing. There is doubt that they will be sold. Nevertheless, it is fun to think how fine you would feel having one or two of those chairs In your own home. The tales they could tell would shake the very foundations of North Carolina officialdom. UPPER OR LOWER? . . . Inci■» dentally, you may be interested in knowing that the new chairs for the legislators will vary in size somewhat. The chairs for the State Senate will have a 24-inch bottom while' those for the House mem berg will be only 21 inches. As a North Carolina paper pointed oat the other day, this fact should settle once and (or all the old arguments as to which is the Upper House. Requiescat in* pace, dear senators, which liberally translated means: Sit in peace, dear senators. This might also apply to the representative^ who gingerly have been taking their seats for lo, these many years. No puns intended. \ ,, ADVERTISING . . ~ ■■jM Carolina members of the American Medical Association have been advised that, beginning the first of October, the $1,110,000 cam-Vj paign to sell the people on keeping medical services as they are will begin. Every daily and weekly paper in the United States, Hawaii, and Alaska—approximately 11,000 —will be on the list. Radio stations will get (300,000, papers, $560,000; and national magazines. | $250,000. This is only the begin-' ning. HOURGLASS . . This recalls an item from North Carolina in the recent issue of Readers Digest: "When a patient enters a certain doctor's office in North Carolina, the physician reaches across his desk to a three-minute hourglass, he turns it over and starts the sand running. The consultation proceeds as usual — not a word about the hourglass saying much about NOTICE OF SALE FOR TAXES Under and by virtue of powers vested in me by the public laws of the State of North Carolina, particularly by Chapter 310 of the Public Laws ^of 1939, as amended, and pursuant to an order of the Board of Commissioners of the Town of North Wilkesboro, N.

In England today three minutes is all the time a doctor can give to the average call. Just three minutes." TEACHER BONUS . . . There is right much conjecture as to whether the teachers will go into court in an effort to prove that they are rightfully due a portion of the $13,000,000 surplus with which the State ended its fiscal year on June 30. Whether they do or don't, most of them are squawking like a setting - hen whose eggs have been stolen. The N. C. Education Association is insisting that^ the money come now. The State says wait until RESOLUTION ADOPTING ASSESSMENT ROLL WHEREAS, pursuant to authority vested in the Board of Commissioners of the Town of North Wilkesboro, and by virtue of Article 9, Section 160*78 to 160-103, and amendments thereto) (Chapter 56, Public Laws of 1915, C.

Cojnmissioners to be 1950 It Kh Adopted by the Board of ComWilk^rS ofxrt^uTown of N<>rth Wilkesboro, North Carolina, this the 8th day of August. 1950. • KELLY, Town Clerk lt-A-17 next year — the end of the biennium — and let's see how we stand. The school principals and superintendents are busily looking off into the forest, for they will not get a dime of the money even if it is forthcoming. It is for teachers and nobody but teachers. Chances are they won't get it. BUCK . . . There has been some buck-passing Incident to this matter which has been on the fly since about July 1. Section 20 1-2 of the 1949 Appropriations Bill said if there was a surplus, the teachers could dig into it if the State Board of Education requested it. Well, the State Board met, did nothing except toss the problem into the lap of the Governor, who is ex officio director of the budget. He in turn called in the Advisory Budget Commission, which really and legally has no more to do with the decision at this stage of'the game than you have. But the Governor needed their advice. In secret meeting, they said .no- unanimously. Then the teachers pounded on Assistant Budget Director Dave Coltrane. He said nothing doing.
