IN FILLING VACANCY ? Rollman Suggests Waiving Special Ejection To Save Waytiesville ? Congressional hopeful Heinz Rollman describes as a "'.omplete waste of the tax payers' money" the possibility of six elections in the 12th Con gressional District between now and the November election. Hie situation as things now stand :ould conceivably take more than $160,000 cut of the taxpayer's pocket Mr. Rollman also has a solution to offer: "Let each candidate file but waive the special election that must be called by Governor Hodges to fill the vacancy in Congress left by the unfortunate death of Representative David Hall and so inform the State Board of Elec tions nd the governor himself. If there are no candidates, there Is no Section and the voters won't have fo go to the polls for the specia'. election. The issue can clear ly be settled In the regular May primaries of both parties." Mr. Rollman, win is a candidate for the nomination on the Repub lican ticket, also thinks there would be an additional savings to the taxpayers because the man elected to succeed the late Repre sentative Hall would, in effect, serve only a month in Congress before adjournment but would ool lect about $15,000 In salary be tween his election and the end of the term next January. "To spend all this money for nothing would be foolish and ridiculous. The taxpayers deserve more consideration than this," the candidate declared. Mr. Rollman explained the six possible elections in this way: The law says the governor must now call a special election In the I district to fill Representatives Hall's vacancy. This means pri maries within both parties ? a price tab of about $26,000 the voters must pick up. Then there follows a special general election pitting the Democratic and Repub lican nominees against each other. This means another $26,000. The winner serves out the unexpired term of Representative Hall. With two elections now out of the way voters will face the regu lar primaries in May ? another $26,000. Finally, there's the general elec tion next November and another $26,000, for a total of $104,000 out of the taxpayer's pocket at this point. Rollman also points out the pos sibility of run-off elections in the primaries. Such developments would just add $52,000 more to the already "astronomical waste", according to the Republican candidate.

Atlantic Fleet, with headquarters in Norfolk, Va. Brady's BLARNEY By A Brmdj Colled J. p. CULLS FROM A NEWSMAN'S NOTEBOOK: The former Macon County school superintendent, Holland McSwain, took quite a ribbing (I got in my share with him) at the congregational dinner Sunday held for the Rev. and Mrs. Donn K. Langfitt at the Presbyterian church. Remarks, of course, centered on Mr. Mac's ability to smell a free meal as far away as Cherokee County and arrive just in time to be first in line. When he was liv ing here we all recognized this re markable gift of his for ferretin? out food, but little did we realize he had developed it in such an acute form. Mr. Mac got in a good potshot at me for my part of the ribbing. "Brady's the only thing I can think of that doesn't improve with age," he told John Archer. Mr. and Mrs. G. G. Watkins, of famed River Rock Inn, got the royalty treatment from friends in Florida on their recent trip. It was their first trip V> Florida in 17 years "and their many friends, most of whom met the Watkins family over platters of country ham and fried chicken at River Rock Inn, did "things up brown". They tossed a picnic dinner for the couple at Lake Maggoire in St. Petersburg with some 100 at tending. To direct folks to the right tables ,a large sign was placed at the entrance, "Watkins Biscuit Eaters". While in St. Pete Mr. and Mrs. Watkins were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel C. Keith, who have a vacation home in the Pine Grove section here. A chain letter with a new twist, immediate profit, is making the rounds and, beileve it or not. is paying off. With just five names on it at a time, instead of the usual 10 to 20, it is promising only $2,000 or so if the chain remains unbroken. Where does the immediate profit come in? Well, the one who sells his letters to others and continues the chain makes $3 on the whole deal. This gimmick apparently is for the benefit of those who la ment they've never made a cent off chain letters. With some help from the bank iat 5%)' ami a little luck from some other quarters, I'll be mak ing a trip to Europe this spring to make some industrial contacts for North Carolina. We're hoping to interest be tween 60 and 80 - Jaycees over ] North Carolina in the trip and will visit Germany, France, Eng I land, Sweden, and Switzerland on a two-week jaunt. This will serve as a follow-up of Gov. Hodges' recent overseas industry hunt. I've already sent in my deposit but my fate is now in the hands of a selection committee that will determine if my mountain ways will fit into the scheme of things. This just proves, of course, that having the money already borrow ed doesn't cinch the thing. They're looking for men who can sell North Carplina to foreign indus trialists. Can anyone tip me off on the meaning of the matching pillows we're seeing in the back windows of so many automobiles? Mrs. Long Is Speaker At Murphy Club Meet Mrs. 'J.
