Weekly Legislative Summary
A Fint Reading on Hi*
1969 Session (Part 2): With
this edition of the Sum
mary we complete a two
part progress report on
pending measures that
have been front and cen
ter during the opening
weeks of the 1969 legisla
tive session.
Highway Safety Motor
Vehicles: Os the 30 meas
ures to make their way
into the respective High
way Safety Committees,
seven relate to drinking
and driving; one has pass
ed both houses. That bill
limits punishment for first
•and second convictions of
driving under the influ
ence of maximums of SSOO
and six months, thereby
preventing the offenses
from being classed as mis
demeanors for which re
cent decisions require court
appointed counsel for in
digents. Three other drunk
driving measures still with
in committee would beef
up penalties: heavier fines,
earlier license revocation
and mandatory jail sen
tences. A House resolu
tion calling for a demon
stration of the breathalizer
may affect the outcome of
a House bill that would
make use of N. C. high
ways serve as a motorist’s
implied consent to chemi
cal testing of his person
for detection of drunk
Stop by at Mitchener’s for a good
magazine or paperback book, and en
joy an evening of rewarding reading.

driving (H 5), and one that
would provide for license
revocation, in addition to
misdemeanor penalties, for
refusal to submit to chem
ical testing (H 12). Four
highway safety proposals
deal with levying heavy
penalties for speeding
(over 80 mph in the three
House bills; 85 mph in
Senate version) to avoid
apprehension by peace of
ficers. Driver licensing
measures affecting renewal
of licenses by mail in cer
tain situations (passed Sen
ate) ; surrendering out-of
state licenses as a condi
tion of receiving a N. C.
license (passed House);
submitting chauffeurs’ li
censes (too) to the Motor
Vehicles Department upon
revocation of operating
privilege, and rewarding
safe drivers (clean record
for four years) by exempt
ing them from written and
road tests at renewal time,
remain in committee. But
a bill that would permit
holders of learners’ per
mits to enjoy night driv
ing practice became the
first highway safety bill to
the Assembly this session.
A bill that would place
“private” and “parochial”
school buses and school ac
tivity buses on the same
footing and subject to the
same regulations and saf
ety standards as “pubiic”

school buses (H 251) was
introduced to combine child
safety with highway saf
ety. Slow moving vehicles
(e. g. farm vehicles) using
the highways will be re
quired to be equipped with
special reflectomed rear
warning devices to keep
closing vehicles from run
ning upon them if H 233
becomes law. Lawyers will
be particularly interested
in H 199, which would in
clude within “conviction”
in traffic cases “prayer for
judgment continued” and
“nolo contendere” pleas
vis-a-vis license revoca
tion.
Affrays and Alarums:
The current of disorder,
endemic to our times, is
lapping at the shores of
the North Carolina General
Assembly. While little
definite action has yet
been taken by the As
sembly, a number of mea
sures are pending that are
responsive in some mea
sure to the campus and
racial disorder of recent
times.
Positive efforts to shape
or reshape institutions for
dealing with disorders or
for channeling youthful
energies into more peace
ful pursuits are reflected
in two early introductions.
One would create a sys
tem of Youth Councils to
provide opportunities for
development of youth
leadership and responsibil
ity. The other would
broaden the membership
of the Governor’s Commit
tee and Law and Order to
include local and citizen
representation plus addi
tional state and judicial of
ficials. This bill passed
both houses this weds
with minor amendments.
Greater publicity has at
tended a number of propo
sals to strengthen law en
forcement machinery. A
list of the pending bills in
this category include:
S 126 —To create a sta
tutory crime of riot or in
citing to riot, punishable
as a felony, and to forbid
those convicted from at
tending or being employed
in institutions of higher
learning for one year.
H 134 —To increase the
punishment for sit-ins and
similar incumbencies and
recumbencies in public
buildings.
S 101 To prohibit
(among other things) re
fusals to vacate buildings
or facilities of institutions
of learning, both public
and private, in obedience
to the orders of law en
forcement personnel, and
obstructions of access
thereto by sit-ins or the
like. (H 280 would apply
similar prohibitions to pub
lic schools, would prohibit
carrying weapons in or
around schools, and would
empower school officials to
stop-and-frisk pupils who
are thought to be in pos
session of such weapons).
H 66—To make an as
sault on a policeman or
fireman a felony.
S 168 —To immunize Na
tional Guardsmen aiding
civil authorities from civil
or criminal liability for
their good faith acts dur
ing public crises.
I Also pending in com
mittee now is a resolution
which begins as a vote of
confidence in college and
university trustees and ad
ministrators for their lead
ership in time of crisis,
and swells to an exhorta
tion against negotiations or
confrontation with student
or faculty groups.
Health. Welfare and Re
lated Matters: A subject
of lively concern for the
medical profession nation
wide has been the need
for legislation to clarify
the legal status of organ
transplants. Working
through the Uniform Laws
.Commissioners, medical
leaders evolved a proposed
Uniform Anatomical Gift
Act which is now pending
before a number of state
legislatures. North Caro

“Beauty Bath”
Helps Refresh
If you’re suffering from
an attack of midwinter
doldrums, treat yourself to
a “beauty bath” to make
you feel clean, refreshed
and , pampered. The bath
is a time for relaxation,
quiet and privacy—and it’s
time for beauty care, too.
Avon Products suggests
these steps for a soft soak
that will work wonders for
uncomfortable, dry body
skin. Pour a few drops of
an emollient bath oil into
a tub of hot water. Wash
with an emollient - based
soap, then soak for 10
minutes. Dry gently,
wrapping yourself in a
soft, fluffy toweL Apply
a perfumed skin softener
to problem areas such as
heels, legs, knees and el
bows.
Disabled Urged
To Apply Early
Workers under 65 who
become disabled should
not delay in filing a claim
for disability insurance
benefits which may be
payable to them under so
cial security.
Although payments do
not begin until the sev
enth month after the
month of disability, the
disabled worker should
file his claim as soon as
possible after the disabil
ity begins. This will give
the worker and the social
security office time to ob
tain the proofs and docu
ments needed to process
the claim. Delays may
thus be avoided, and it
can mean that benefits
will be received on the
date they are due.
The social security office
for the Albemarle area is
located at 401 South Dyer
Street, Elizabeth City,,
N. C. The telephone num-i
ber is 338-3931. This of
fice provides full claims!
and other social security
services to the public.
Sparking Nickel
More than 600 million
automotive spark plugs are
manufactured in the U. S. •
each year. For dependable;
service, 97 per cent nickel
resistance wire is used in
each plug.
One chain belt will work
many ways If you collect
a wardrobe of ribbons and
long narrow scarves to
mix or match with dresses
and separates. Just weave
the ribbon or scarf through
the belt links. Thin
stripes, petite prints or
small plaids usually look
best—or try braiding sev
eral plain colored ribbons
together for a multi-col
ored effect. If you’re mak
ing a skirt or dress, buy
enough material to make a
matching long thin tie belt.
Weave it through the links
for a custom touch.
Before you skate or ski
or even spectate, Avon
suggests these steps to
“winterize” your skin.
Even if you don’t wear
makeup, do apply a mois
turizer generously on your
face and neck to guard
against chapping; use a
colorless 1i p moisturizer
