Well, it is time to surrender that
hour of sleep gained back in
October. Sunday marks the return
to Daylight Savings Time.
At 2 A.M. Sunday it will be
necessary to turn your clocks
forward one hour. But lor those
wanted to keep pace with time
without staying up all hours of the
night to do so, we have seen
nothing which prohibits you from
doing the clock-turning bit before
you retire.
In the past this writer has been a
miserable failure when it comes to
giving advice on times. We have
managed to foul up Halloween,
Christmas parades, and yes, even
have people going to church after
the benediction.
This year, however, we are
reporting with better authority
the weekly bulletin from
Immanuel Baptist Church. Rev.
Paul Hawkins is suggesting to
members of his congregation that
they wait until after Sunday
School and morning worship
services to tamper with the time;
turning forward their watches in
unison.
Titles Are Cheap
The Chowan Herald has been
givpn a “sports editor” and this
writer has been given a new title.
And it all started up in Rocky
Mount.
Henry Thorpe & Associates,
Inc., sent out a news release
appearing elsewhere in today’s
edition, addressing it to Bill Cozart
as “sports editor” of The Herald.
He passed it along to us with the
assistant sports editorship.
We don’t know whether Mr.
Cozart was elated or offended. But
( we learned a long time ago that
titles are cheap.
Toward, Better
Government
The General Assembly of North
Carolina will begin annual
sessions in January, 1974. The
effects these sessions will have on
state government are unknown,
yet we believe it will strengthen
the legislative process.
Annual sessions will bring about
many changes. Not the least of
these will be the necessity for
Secretary of State Thad Eure to
put together the voluminous North
Carolina Manual every year.
But more importantly, it will
allow the state to operate on a
more realistic budget, as well as
insure better legislation-or the
lack of much bad legislation.
If the state had been operating
yiith an annual budget, there
would not be nearly S3OO-million in
surplus funds at the end of the
current biennium. This money
would have been put to use long
ago where it would benefit the
citizens.
In past sessions, legislators
have grown weary at the tail end
of a lengthy sojourn in Raleigh,
letting bad legislation be enacted.
It then takes two years or a
Supreme Court ruling on the
constitutionality of the issue
before anything can be done.
A case in point could be the act

materia 1 shall not be placed in the
containers.
