Weekly Legislative Summary
Editor’s Note: This is, one of s
series of weelHy summaries prepared
by the legislative staff of the Insti
tute of Government on the work of
the North Carolina General Assembly
of M6B. It ik confined to discussions
of matters of general interest and
matfor importance.
-
On Thursday the General As- |
sembly moved from its new $6.2 j
million building to hold a session j
in the old $2lO million battle- ;
ship U.S.S. North Carolina. The j
vessel withstood the test with- j
out a tremor, but the consensus,
as the last legislator abandoned
ship, was that the rippling foun
tains on Halifax Street are a
happier setting tor legislative l
battles than is the once-mighty
warship anchored in the Cape
Fear.
Highway Safety
Governor Sanford delivered his
message .on highway safety on
Tuesday, rather than on Monday
as originally scheduled. The
Governor recommended a 9-point
program: a coordinating commit- ;
tee to conduct continuing exami-1
nation of the accident ..problem, 1
implementation ,of the court
amendments to develop uniformi
ty in handling traffic cases,
adoption of interstate compacts
dealing with driver licenses and
vehicle safety equipment, clos
ing of loopholes in the point
system, additional highway pa
trolmen, a seat belt requirement, ]
driver education for beginners, a
chemical drunkenness test, and
periodic checks of safety equip

On Wednesday the two inter
state compact bills were intro
duced. SB 228 (HB 468) enacts
the vehicle equipment safety
j compact. An Equipment Safety
Commission composed of a rep
' resentative from each of the par
|ty states is empowered to make
studies, analyze data, and adopt
codes governing safety equip
ment. The NC Commissioner of
Motor Vehicles or one of his de
partmental officers would repre
sent this state, and the Com
mission’s codes would not take'
effect in NC until approved by
act of the General Assembly.
£3 229 (HB 467) enacts the driv
er . license compact, which estab
lishes a system of mutual re
porting of driving violation con
victions among the party states;
party states would give effect
to specified convictions m other
states, for purposes of suspend
ing or revoking driver licenses,
and applications for licenses
would be checked against rec
ords in other states, to limit a
driver to a single license at any
one time. On Friday the reso
lution (HR 474) creating the

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
The meaning for today of
Christ Jesus’ complete triumph
j over the flesh will be emphasized
! this Sunday at all Christian Sci-
I ence churches.
I Golden Text: “There is there
fore now no condemnation to
them which are in Christ Jesus,
i who walk not after the flesh, but
! after the Spirit” (Romans 8:1).
I The Bible Lesson is entitled,
| “Are Sin, Disease, and Death
Real?” Related readings include
this passage from ‘“Science and
Health with Key to the Script
ures” by Mary Baker Eddy (p.
233): “Every day makes its de
’ mands upon us for higher proofs
rather than professions of Chris
tian power. These proofs consist
solely in the destruction of sin,
sickness, and death by the pow
er of Spirit, as Jesus destroyed
them.”
This could but have happened
once—
! And missed it, lost it forever.
