Solicitors For Magazines Often Break State Laws Required to Get License From State Board of Public Welfare Door-to-door solicitors of magazine subscriptions who claim that they represent worthy organizations or charitable groups are breaking the laws of the State of North Carolina, unless the organizations are duly li censed by the State Board of Public Welfare, it was emphasized in Raleigh ! this week by Miss 'Lilly E. Mitchell, director of the Fund-Raising Projects Division. These solicitors, calling themselves representatives of worthy organiza tions seeking to raise funds, or others who seek charity for themselves through subscription sales, rather than legitimate salesmen who seek to offer valuable goods to prospective buyers in the form of magazines, are an in creasing problem to the housewives of North Carolina, Miss'Mitchell stated. “Only last month,” she said, “the city of New Bern passed an ordinance which dealt with them once and for all. It simply prohibited all forms of subscription soliciting on the streets or in the homes.” Although indicating that she ap proved such action on the part of the New Bern city council, Miss Mitchell stated that it was not strictly neces sary, as the state statutes already provide that no such solicitations are legal anyway, unless licensed by the State Board of Public Welfare. She cited the state solicitations law as amended by the 1947 Legislature which reads, in part: “No person shall solicit the public ... to sell or offer for sale . . . periodicals, books . . . or any other similar public cause ... un less the solicitation is authorized by ... an organization . . . holding a valid license for such purpose from the State Board of Public Welfare.” (Chapter 108, At. 5, Section 80). “The State law is explicit,” she warned, “and no such violation is legal unless licensed officially by the State Board of Public Welfare. Any person engaging in this activity who does not have said license should be reported to this office.” Over 5,900 Expected At Farm Home Week Four-day Program Ar ranged at State Col lege July 31-Aug. 3 More than 5,000 farm men and wo men from all parts of the State are expected to attend Farm and Home Week at State College, Raleigh, July 31-August 3, for a four-day program of classes and demonstrations, tours to points of interest and around the Capital City, addresses by outstanding speakers, and special recreational ac tivities.
