■iiiiiliilililillllllHIIIHIMHi Senafor Glad To Be Back Home Baptist Campers Were At Chowan TIMES-NEWS, Rich Square, N. C.. July 8, 196S By LAURA HARRELL LEWISTON - While he’s happy to be back home, Senator J. J. (Monk) Harrington feels the 1965 session of the Legislature was a good one and much was accom plished. This was his second term In the State Senate - the first as senator from the Third District - and he was highly pleased with his area of representation. Senator Harrington expressed the opinion that the only thing needed to make this an Ideal dis trict Is the Inclusion of Gates County. Included In the Third Senatorial District are the coun ties of Bertie, Hertford and Northampton. The Senator was high, too, in his praise of Lieutenant Gover nor Robert W. (Bob) Scott. “He ran the Senate with excellent ability, showed leadership and did not create any enemies or fac tions within the Senate.” When he was called upon to break a tie vote on two occasions, he didn’t hesitate to vote, the Senator con tinued. Most Important assignment to Harrington personally was serv ing as chairman of the commit tee on manufacturing, labor and commerce from which came the minimum wage changes. The 1963 law which set mini mum wages at 85 cents was amended to raise the minimum to $1.00. This minimum applies to those employing four or more people but does not include farm labor. Harrington said some of the Leg islators, especially those from the West, wanted to know why farm labor could not be included. He explained that “It Just could not be done. A farmer doesn’t work the same crew every day and it would put the farmer out of business.” Later in the session another bill was passed making the law applicable to local government employees Including janitors and maids. Another Important committee on which he served was Appro priations. He was one of 12 pick ed from the Senate to serve on Sub - appropriations which re quired a lot of additional hours but from which he learned a good deal about state government. Harrington said the committee went over every phase of spend ing in North Carolina and the reasons for the spending. The largest biennial budget - more than $2.15 billion - in the history of the state was appropriated. The Senator played a part, along with Bertie Representative Emmett W, Burden, In getting $20,000 In matching funds ap propriated for the purchase and restoration of Hope House In Ber tie County. Asked why this was given in matching funds while most of the other historical sites appropri ations were outright grants, the Senator said the people of Bertie County must show some Initia tive. “If they are not willing to raise the matching funds, they don’t deserve to have Hope,” he added. Explaining that many of the other places, such as Edenton, have established a background and were given outright grants, Harrington said that if the people of Bertie County are successful In their effort to match these funds, they may be given a no- strlngs-attached grant by a fu ture Legislature. Along the line of appropriations also, Harrington said he helped Gates Representative Phil God win get an appropriation for a peanut - food science study. The Senator said he also en joyed working with Governor Moore and he supported the auto Inspection bill which was one of the Governor’s pet bills. “I supported it only at the ut most convenience to the public,” he continued. This meant that he supported It only after the bill was changed to make Inspections permissible at service stations as well as garages. He said people who know of any graft or unusual treatment con cerning the inspection program should get In touch with their representative “because the Governor promised It will be car ried out right.” Another highway safety meas ure which the Senator strongly backed was a bill which gave Highway Patrolmen the authority to issue warning tickets at their discretion; however, he feels that changes In the bill .to satisfy Motor Vehicles Commissioner Ed Scheldt leave some questions about the effectiveness as It was originally Intended. H a r r 1 n g ton served as vice Drs. Sawyer And Miller chairman of the Senate Highway Safety Committee. Other com mittees on which he served were Agriculture, Conservation and Development, Courts and Judi cial Districts, Education, Local Government, Public Roads and Wildlife.

A former Methodist minister, he has been engaged in what he describes as the Christian Tem perance Patriotic Reform work for 56 years. In 1960, he spentl2weekspro moting his program in Hertford County and published a report in a 62 - page brochure entitled “Heaven In Hertford.” He returned to the county in the fall of 1961 and was active in the crusade which preceded the ABC defeat that year.

AHOSKIE - Ahoskie is getting two new physicians, one an in ternist and one a general prac titioner. Dr. J. MlltonMlller, anintern- ist and anatlveofVirglnlaBeach, who received his medical training at the Medical College of Vir ginia at Richmond, is arriving July 1 to join Dr. Archie Eagles. Dr. Miller has completed three years of residency at the Bow man - Gray School of Medicine in Winston-Salem. He Is married and his wife Is the daughter of Dr. C. T. Smith of Rocky Mount.

Dr. Sawyer is the grandson of the late Dr. Charles Sawyer of Windsor, who was an eye, ear, nose and throat specialist. Mrs. Sawyer and their two children have moved Into 408 South Colony Avenue. He called the $300 - million road bond issue “easy to get through because the die was cast when Kerr Scott put the extra penny on gas and It was just a matter of formality to continue that.” Revamping of the Highway Commission, he feels Is not too wise since a reduction in the number of Commissioners will mean an even heavier load and less local representation. He thinks, however, that reorganiza tion of the Wildlife Commission was good. Oh the Speaker Ban question. Senator Harrington says he is keeping an open mind. He said Governor Moore’s study com mission named last week is a good one and “the Commission report will be a guide” as to how he will vote in a planned special session. With business apparently booming at his manufacturing plant at Lewiston and his office telephone ringing almost con stantly, the Senator concluded, “It’s good to be back home.” MURFREESBORO - Members of the Royal Ambassador and Girls’ Auxiliary of the Flat River Baptist Association completed a week of camping activity on the Chowan College campus July 2 with 118 attending.
