SLOAN A bill before the House of the North Carolina Legislature, while perhaps laudable in its intent, ! seems to me to be unfair in the means of obtaining it. The bill would place a 1% tax J on all fire insurance premiums (except county mutual organiza tions), in order to provide a re tirement fund for firemen. Pensions for firemen are good, but why should the man who has fire insurance pay all the cost while the man who, does not carry fire insurance doesn't pay any? The fire department does not discriminate between the insured and the uninsured in fires they fight. Furthermore, the man who lives in an unprotected area as a whole. After all firemen do not work for the state, are not paid by the state, and are not under state control. Macon County's representative asked to bring the bill out of com mittee. but we. hope he will re consider and vote against it. un less some fairer means of financ ing the matter is found. * * * Recently, we received an UN SIGNED letter taking us< to task for our position in regard to unions in Macon County. We wish the letter had been signed be cause we would like to discuss the matter further with the writer, but since we can't we just want to say we just don't see how the people of Macon County can bene fit by Macon County having a situation similar to that existing at Henderson. North Carolina. The union that has been trying to come in here is the same one that is leading the strike there One thousand cheers to Rep. John Umstead, of Orange County, for his bill to create a training school for mentally handicapped children at Morganton. He is go ing beyond selfish interest, which so often governs our representa tives, and is fighting for some thing out of his district. He is placing the hospital where it is needed. I hope that everyone here will contact any people in the l state Legislature who might be of help and urge passage of this bill. It would be fine if every civic organization in the county would wire our state senator and repre sentative urging passage of this bill. At present there is no such facility this side of Camp Butner which is better than 300 miles from here ? a long way to take your child or to go to visit him. ? * * j Green Stamps must help busl j ness here.
