Page 4-B Raleigh Round-Up Os What’s Happening In The General Assembly By MILDRED HUSK INS Monday, March 24, was the 49th Legislative Day of the 1975 session of the General Assembly and if no important legislation has been passed, as some members of the media have charged, it could be because the members are taking a close look at every little bill. The House of Repre sentatives, which we try to monitor from time to time from the galleries is certainly of a mind to debate every issue and that is not bad. The folks back home should appreciate the fact that serious consideration is being given to the public’s business. To illustrate, the affable Speaker, Jimmy Green of Bladen, Monday evening called up a bill “for second reading” and got the bad eye from the « reading clerk, Sam Burrow. Rep. Jack Stevens of Buncombe, Rules Committee chairman and in charge of keeping the chairs straightened out during parliamentary mix ups, arose to remind the Speaker the bill had already been passed on second reading ancf was before the House for third reading. “There has been so much debate on this bill I didn't know what reading it Taylor Theater Edenton, N.

Later in the evening and near the end of the lengthy calendar, another bill was up for third reading after having been fully debated at a previous session. Rep. Fred Hutchins of Forsyth was introducer of the bill and it was one to exclude employees injured while under the influence of drugs from eligibility for workmens com pensation. It sounded simple enough since the present statues provide that anyone under the influence of alcohol at the time of injury may not recover. The Gentleman from Forsyth was simply adding drugs to the existing law. But the debate continued and at the time of a pause the Speaker asked: “Any more lawyers confused on this bill? All the laymen thoroughly understand this bi 11...” and at this point Rep. Liston Ramsey of Madison, a veteran layman, gained recognition as the Speaker groaned. “I don’t and I want to ask Mr. Hutchins a question.” The Gentleman from Forsyth yielded and the Gentleman from Madison got his question in and the debate continued. No matter themeasure, every - almost, is for the consumer. There were some doubts during the debate on the Milk Commission bill in the House. The makeup of the commission was being thourougly discussed and the proponents of an amendement were trying to hold their votes when Rep. Vernon James of Pasquotank gained the floor “to speak on the amendment.” He said he didn’t see why this commission should be so different from the other regulatory board and commissions. “There are no consumers on the medical licensing board; there are no consumers on the lawyer’s licensing board; there are no consumers on the barbers licensing board and there are no ■onsumers on the undertaker’s licensing board...’’he was halted by a roar of laughter from his colleagues. —o— Barber bills, like bear bills, generate considerable debate for evidently the barbers aroung the state keep pretty well informed on legislation which will affect them. One such bill, which originiated and passed in the Senate, was before Easy on you! Easy on your lawn!

Look for your Homelite Dealer m the Yellow Pages the House on Monday evening. A number of the members had heard from their barbers back home over the weekend for there was a lot of opposition. This bill would set up qualifications of an apprentice barber and the conclusions drawn were that, under the act, an apprentice could be a barber as long as he lived and never be licensed but just parctice as an apprentice. Some ' of the fellows got a little personal and asked dapper Rep. Bobby Rogers of Vance if an apprentice cut his hair and the Gentleman from Vance had to admit no barber had cut his hair recently. Anyway, the bill was soundly killed. —O — U. S. Sen. Robert Morgan, taking advantage of the Easter recess and making like a postman’s holiday, was visiting on the floors of the state House and Senate Monday evening. He was being greeted by his friends from both sides of the court. Fashion Note: With a couple of sunny, balmy days in the Capital City, several of the legislators appeared in colorful Spring finery. Probably Sen. Herman Moore of Mecklenburg was the most conspicuous, with a sport coat of large squares of navy and yellow over navy slacks. He wore a light blue shirt and navy tie. He rivaled Sen. George (Gorgeous) Marion of Surry who has the reputation of leading the men's fashion parade every day in the week. The Gentleman from Surry was wearing a white suit with gold buttons, properly vested. Probably the most casual dresser in the House this session is Rep. James H. Edwards of Caldwell. However, his dress fits his style. His white ties manage to hold together his baby blue denims, piped with white and elegantly casual. To complete the appearance of a busy legislator, the Gentleman from Caldwell wears his half specs on the tip of his nose. During the long House sessions, comfort for Rep. Pat Griffen of Durham is to slip out of her shoes and draw her legs up in the black leather chair. When she is called upon to rise for a head count, she simply rises up on her knees in her chair and is as tall as her seatmate, Rep. Richard Wright of Columbus. When the Gentleman from Columbus is out of his chair, the Lady from Durham is known to stretch out a bit and use his chair for a foot rest. —<>— Thursday, the House and Senate met jointly for the ceremony of confirming two of the Governor’s appointment to the State Board of Education. Lt. Gov. Jim Hunt presided as president of the Senate and when the deed was done, he asked for a motion to adjourn from President Pro Tern of the Senate, John Henley of Cumberland. The motion was made and the lieutenant governor said, “All in favor of this joint session now adjourning for a long afternoon session of work say ‘aye’,” and there was almost complete silence and the “nos” had it but that is not the way the presiding officer called it. The joint session was dissolved and the two bodies did, in fact, return to work. We noted with some amusement that Sen. Ralph Scott of Alamance took a seat on the back row when ne came * .

It is not unusual for a young attorney to seek recognition in the House by beginning his talk with “Your H0n0r...” It happened to that nice young fellow, Rep. Dave Deßamus, Jr., of Forsyth. When he made the minor error in confusion he was put at ease by the Speaker: “That’s all right. Lawyers will be lawyers.” —o— There are many important visitors to the State House and two of them last week were Scuby-doo and Yogi Bear, Carowinds characters being escorted by a blonde lovely in a Carolina blue gown. The fun characters were .cutting up around the pool in the court near the cafeteria when Scuby-doo almost fell in. Yogi was quick to rescue his colleague. Later the entourage delighted school children visiting the General Assembly and they spent a few minutes in the galleries of both houses. —O— Dr. Albert Edwards, pastor of Fist Presbyterian Church of Raleigh and House chaplain, was Holy Week speaker at the regular meeting of the Sir Walter Cabinet on Tuesday and after a fine introduction by Mrs. J. Ruffin Bailey, program chairman, told the story of the fellow who was trying to impress his wife on his importance. They had just listened to a glowing introduction of him as man of the year and he turned to his wife and said: “Well, what do you think of that?” After a few minutes his wife whispered: ‘Just shows what kind of a year it was!” —o— Tuesday was one of those glorious days which finally come to us after the storms of days just past. The minister was mentioning the beauty of the day and told the story of the man who was weaving in his lane of traffic and appeared to the highway patrolman that he had been drinking too much. The officer stopped the vehicle and the driver was making excuses about his driving. He was simply deep in thought and made some wrong moves. About that time the officer noted a jug on the seat beside the man and asked about it. “Oh, I can’t drink the local water. Too much flourine. I have a little place in the country where I have a deep well and 1 go out there to bring in my drinking water,” the man explained. The officer, still not convinced, asked to smell the contents and was given permission. “It smells like wine to me,” the officer said. The driver looked heavenward and said: “Praise the Lord, He’s done it again.’ —O— Grandmothers are more inclined to welcome the new baby of someone else than anyone. So, four of us planned a shower for little Berit Asbury Brown, six-week-old adopted daughter of Rep. and Mrs. Lane Brown, 111, of Norwood, the other night. Now, the grandfathers had been sort of left out except to pay the bills but we hadn't counted on Rep. Dwight Quinn’s interest. The Gentleman from Cabarrus got so caught up with the idea that he volunteered to babysit the infant while its parents went to the Governor’s dinner at the mansion. He did not consult his wife who was back at the motel fixing up the party food but she agreed and the shower was on. There were some 20 guests, not counting everyone who passed, along in the hall. The young parents opened the gifts. The babe awoke, stretched and made herself adorable for pictures with everyone. The parents left and it was time to feed the infant. The Gentleman from Cabarrus was in complete charge until time for “the change” and the bottle. About that time, as if prearranged, the Appalachian State University public relations director stuck his head in the door and suggested dinner at the Angus Bam. Guess who was the first out the door! You’re right. The Gentleman from Cabarrus was gone to dinner and the Lady from Cabarrus (who else?) was babysitting.

Manteo Hosts Fishing Event Fishing vessel electronics and twin trawl shrimping will be featured in a workshop for North Carolina's commercial fishermen and boat owners in Manteo Saturday. The day-long workshop will begin at 8:30 A.M. at Manteo High School. Marine battery maintenance and problems associated with wiring will be covered by Don Cunning of Ketchekan, Alaska. Cunning teaches a training course in marine electronics at Alaska's Ketchekan Community College. Dave Harrington of the University of Georgia Sea Grant Program will present a slide demonstration and discussion of twin trawl shrimping, a trawling method using two small nets on each side of the boat instead of a single large net. The slide show will take a look at twin trawling from an underwater point of view. The workshop is sponsored by the University of North Carolina Sea Grant Program and the Coastal Plains Center for Marine Development. Sea Grant is a program of research, advisory services and education aimed at improving the economic and environmental well-being in the coastal zone. Vanishing Farm Land More than 160 million acres in the United States have gone out of farm production since the late 1800’s. That’s the equiv alent of about three-fifths of the nation’s harvested cropland today. Former Pastor Dies In Crash! ! David Eric Branholm, 37, a former pastor of the Cape Colony Church of Christ, was killed March 23, when the light plane he was piloting crashed near Washington, Ind. Mr. Branholm, who lived in Hertford until four years ago, was president of the Bluefield, W. Va. College of Evangelism. Officials in Indiana said he apparently died instantly when the single-engine Piper Commanche was forced down in a heavily wooded area by high winds. The wreckage was discovered about 20 miles from Washington at 1 P.M. Monday. Rescue workers spent several hours in reaching the plane to remove his body. Bluefield College of Evangelism spokesmen said Mr. Branholm had flown to Washington last week to conduct revival services. Sunday he flew to Indianapolis, about 100 miles away, and was returning to Washington when the crash occurred. There had been reports of thunderstorms and at least one small tornado in the Washington area Sunday afternoon. Mr. Branholm was named president of Bluefield College of Evangelism when the school was establisihedfour years ago. The college is sponsored by the Church of Christ. He was born in Tacoma, Wash., but was reared in Fairbanks, Alaska, where he spent the first 19 years of his life. After graduating from high school in 1955, he attended the University of Alaska. He entered the Army in 1957 and served five years. During his Army career, he graduated from the Army Aviation School, Parachute School, Non- Commissoned Officers Academy and Infantry Officers Candidate School. Prior to accepting a commission, Mr. Branholm served two years in the 82nd. Airborne Division as a paratrooper. He was released from active duty in 1962 as infantry company commander with the rank of first lieutenant. Following his release from service and prior to entering Bible college, he was an executive for an aerospace corporation. He held a commercial pilot’s license with multi-engine rating. ■While residing in Monterey, Calif., he attended Monterey Peninsula College and completed his formal training at Roanoke Bible College in Elizabeth City where he was Agonizing Pain From Ingrown Toenail?
