With the main appropriations bills out of the way for the time being, work is going forward cm the “special bills’’, most of which will be held up until the adjourned session ex pected to be in October. The push to raise taxes further came to a screeching halt Thursday in the senate finance com mittee and the governor’s proposal to raise additional tax on liquor and beer was postponed for consideration until the adjourned session. An attempt to pass legislation which would allow counties to add a 1 per cent local sales tax was sent off to a subcommittee to await the 1982 “short” Danny Hogan, Willene Jemigan, and Marlin Mc- Clain. 10th Grade Marvin Baccus. 11th Grade Anna Goodwin and Karen Roberts. 12th Grade Paula Ashley, Charlene Evans, Marla Jordan, Sandra Ford, Vickie C.

This action left the “good roads package” short of more than 859-million which was expected to come from the General Fund provided additional revenue through tax increases made up that amount. “A lot of people object to passing a tax on liquor to put money in high ways,” Sen. Kenneth Royall, Jr., said. “I’m not concerned about DOT not getting all the money it wanted. I want to see what they do with what we’ve given them,” he concluded. “I guess you could say my liquor bill is marinating,” Zeb Alley, the governor’s legislative liaison said.

Activities For Summertime To Be Planned Nathaniel sitting under a fig tree dreams of a new day for his- world. And Jesus walks into his life. Mrs. Peggy Leeper will lead a study of Nathaniel, one of the Apostles Sunday at 9:45 A. M. during the Sunday School hour. The pastor, too, will be preaching on, “Under the Fig Tree” at 11 A. M., at the First Presbyterian Church. The session has been making plans to engage in summertime activities in some of the resort com munities of the area, hold an outdoor evening service, engage in a series of discussion with young mothers about their children’s religious growth and the needs of parents in assisting in that growth, and to hold a Presbyterian Sail and Power regatta in Albemarle Sound. THE CHOWAN HERALD tax had passed the house and the action by the Senate Finance Committee came as a shock to several house members who had pushed through local legislation to allow their counties to levy the additional one cent sales tax. These lulls were also' held for consideration at a later time. Enough is enough, seemed to be the feeling of senators the day after the three-cent gasoline tax went into effect and gasoline station customers reacted negatively. In spite of the hours and hours of hard work, members will have their moments of levity. Since they are in the majority, Democrats enjoy a little joke on a Republican colleague. During the entire debate on the budget measures in the house Thursday the Republican members were voting as a block against the more than sll-million bills. Rep. Howard Coble of Guilford had departed a time or two but had about worn out the red, or no, button on his desk. Then along came a bill he wanted to vote for and he automatically pressed the red button. With a bit of a red face the Gentleman from Guilford arose for recognition as soon as the vote was announced. “Mr. Speaker, I am so used to hitting the red button. I Conder Supports Reagan Policy Pate 4-B section. This is a project that is very close to my heart. But even here, it would be very difficult to fund the entire operation without help,” Conder added sadly. N. C. Gov. James B. Hunt, Jr., has urged an army of volunteers be enlisted to fill the envitable gap in services to the poor that will occur when federal funds are withdrawn. Condor supports this proposal, but then, he has a long history of volunteering himself, He alth Services Association, American Cancer Society, Heart Association, as a hospital trustee and as a member of several other civic groups. He is a member of the Rockingham First Presbyterian Church, a former elder, deacon and chairman of its sanctuary building commitee. “The Meals on Wheels program is one of hundreds of categorical grant programs established by the federal government during the last decade,” Conder continued. “They were, to be frank, a blessing and a curse, for they allowed us to expand services, make capital improvements we otherwise couldn’t afford. NOW THAT YOU’VE EARNED IT < DON’T LET IT GET AWAY! Keep those hard-earned dollars in our care where they will earn a high return, are 'insured safe and constantly growing. And don't forget, no one ever lost a dime in a federally insured savings account.

The house membership was debating a bill in troduced in the senate by Sen. James McDuffie of Mecklenburg which would make legislator’s term begin January l. This would require a two-thirds vote since it would be a con stitutional amendment to appeal to the ballot in the next election. The bill had been delayed several times due to the fact that there were not enough members on the floor to provide the two-thirds vote. There had been motions to displace the bill and there had been motions to send it back to committee and the debate continued. Rep. Aaron Plyer of Union was on his feet seeking an answer to a question as to actually when did legislators become elected officials after the General Election or when they were sworn into office. Rep. Dwight Quinn of Cabarrus, whose seat is just in front of his colleague from Union, turned and said: “I never had any trouble knowing when I was elected, did you?” Most of the members Continued On Page 8-B At the same time made us subject to a maze of man dates and regulations.” The new administration has recommed eliminating almost all these programs, promising in return, to send unrestricted funds called block grants to states. Conder is concerned states will be free to syphon off funds intended for specific services.” “Counties are the primary deliverers of services,” Conder insists. “If states are permitted to dole out block grants to pet projects, by the time we get a hold of the money, there won’t be anything left. Funding will be politically motivated, and allocations could depend entirely on the party affiliation of various governors. “We have been fortunate to have outstanding relations with our state leaders - Gov. Hunt often calls us for appointments! But there is an unusual situation in the nation, and one that may become in creasingly rare, unless block grants are carefully crafted. We must protect intergovernmental relations in this new federalism the administration is forging,” Conder said. • i ' *ifr&r - ~ t “gfe jjKfc M gfe, ■ 1 IS ■
