And if you take a look at the recent issues of your daily newspaper you can soon determine why the light at the end of the economic tunnel seems a long way off. For example, one issue of a newspaper this week noted: “Subcommittees study cuts ...”; “Hunt Raps Surcharge Decision”; “Highway Program Pending”; “President’s Honeymoon with Congress wearing thin ...”; County Manager preparing the budget “Austerity is focus ..." To make matters worse, the electronic voting system in the house went on the blink Friday with a long list of roll call bills on the calendar. Some of the senior members felt like they had returned to the “dark ages” and, as Sam Burrow, reading clerk, began calling the roll of 120 names, one was heard to remark, “that sure takes you back, doesn’t it?" Maybe a little good came out of the malfunction since new members of the body had never experienced a rollcall vote and heard their names called from the podium for the first time. The short rollcall was also a new experience for them. This is used when time is of the essence. After a long rollcall has been used on at least one measure and, if there is no objection, the Speaker puts the question and the reading clerk begins the roll by calling the first few names appearing in alphaehtical order and the members shout their vote. Any member who would like for the journal to show his vote may request that it be recorded. This method was often used in the "old days” before electronic voting equipment was added in the two chambers. Speaker Liston Ramsey announced that the “machinery" was out of order and it was either have a rollcall or adjourn. There was no ob jection because, it was a known fact that every bill removed from the current calendar would necessarily be placed on the calendar for the next legislative day which would be Monday night. So, the Friday calendar was cleared. Rep. Howard Chapin of Beaufort had no trouble with his local bill. He was asked to ex plain his bill when it was called and was brief to the delight of his colleagues.

The bill affected the oldest town in North Carolina, Bath. Dr. Albert Edwards, House Chaplain, is inclined to include a hit of advise for the members in his opening prayers. He seems especially interested in the family members which are left hack home while the lawmakers are at work for the state. Thursday he praised the Ijord for having “made us to be loved and to love ...” He remembered that it was im possible for all people to love us but reminded that “most of us are rich indeed with a mate that loves us, children that love us, a cat that loves us and a neigh bor’s dog who cares." Friday he continued his thoughts for those who wait at home. “Remember, l/>rd, these who havelived it up here this week but help them not to leave life and vitality here but live it up with at home with family and friends ...” The electronic voting mechanism was acting cranky The CHARTER by R.

The hoard on the east side of the house chamber was especially crazy and seated just over that panel in the gallery was a group of Rowan County voters on hand to support Rep. Brad Ligon’s hill to limit lobbyist spending. After one vote the western panel showed 112 members had voted yes and none had voted no while the eastern board was recording 112 votes in the af firmative and 80 in the negative. “Somebody’s cheating,” noted the Speaker as he at tempted to record the results. Another vote was taken with the same results and a visitor in the gallery looked over at the eastern panel and commented: “You see what a bunch of Republicans can do to mess things up.” Os course, it was all in fun. Rep. Marie Colton of Bun combe was handling a local bill introduced in the Senate by Senator Robert S. Swain to abolish the Asheville Boxing Commission and let remaining revenue go to award a prize for a “tough" man contest. This caused a ripple of giggles among her colleagues and one Continued On Page 5-B
