Special Insurance Program
“Preserving and
protecting our heritage is
progress,” said Atty. Gen.
Rufus Edmisten about a
special insurance program
now available in North
Carolina which “will make
owning our state’s historic
homes more appealing than
before.”
In letters to historic
preservation boards,
commissions and in
dividuals, Edmisten
delineated the new
residential insurance
coverage in laymen’s
language with special
emphasis on qualification
standards, value
assessments and protection
needs, such as those for
homes that are opened for
public viewing.
Following requests for the
coverage from historic
groups, Edmisten proposed

“I’m gratified by their

another example of how
important it is for all state

Basic qualification for
coverage requires that the

nominated for listing in the

in a historic district.
“Tearing down houses

Legislators Now Playing Hurry Up And Wait Game
Rep. Martin Lancaster of
Wayne arose to introduce
the doctor of the day
Thursday and prefaced his
remarks with an account of
some personal experiences.
“When I introduced the
doctor of the day several
weeks ago I told you he had
delivered by second child.
Today I want to introduce
you to the doctor who
delivered my first child.”
Os course, he didn’t figure
out for awhile why there
were snickers in his aisle
but the doctor was extended
the courtesy of the gallery
by the speaker and mem
bers welcomed him with
applause.
Several weeks ago Rep.
Richard Wright of
Columbus had handled a bill
on the floor of the house
which would provide
protection for certain state
officials. It was back on the
calendar this week for

THE CHOWAN HERALD
concurrence with a senate
amendment.
“The committee handling
this measure added the
house speaker and president
of the senate; the senate
added all legislators, and in
view of events which took
place recently, I move, Mr.
Speaker that we concur with
the senate amendment,” he
said.
The gentleman was
referring to the incident
several evenings ago when a
group of legislators were
returning from Alamance
County, where they at
tended an outdoor drama,
and one of the buses and a
legislator’s car were either
pelted with rocks or shot at.
No one was injured but
slivers of glass came into
the bus and the back of the
car was damaged.
Constituents’ feeling must
be running higher than we
thought!
After many months a
Congressional Redistricting
bill made it to the floor of the
house and the speaker was
trying to get members to
take their seats “for im
portant legislation”. He
banged the gavel and said:
“Take your seats and hang
on.”
The bill was being handled
by Rep. Jay Huskins of
Iredell, committee chair
man, who began by saying,
“Buckle your seat belts, not
because a blow is coming
on, but to protect yourself
from your neighbor.”
Jle was referring to the
heated discussions which
had taken place in his
committee as plan after
plan had been presented and
voted down during the many
weeks of meetings. “I knew
there were political snakes
in the grass, but I never
thought they’d be so small,”
he said as he explained the
attitude had been “don’t do
it to me.”
At this time a conference
committee is drawing maps
and before the week is out
both houses are expected to
be faced with a redistricting
of the 11 congressional
districts in the state^
Kimberly Ann Smith of
Raleigh, America’s Junior
Miss, was escorted to the
floor of the house Wed
nesday by the Wake
delegation and had kind
words for her state and city.
As she was leaving the
chamber Rep. “Pap”
Creecy of Northampton,
arose and asked permission
to shake her hand.
As the young beauty held
her hand toward the gen
tleman the speaker said,
“The lady is willing.”
“Someone left some
glasses on my desk. I am
sure they need them,” Rep.
Allen Barbee announced the
other day.
“If they belong to the
legislator I think they do, he
sure needs them,” quipped
the speaker.
That “little” bill which
would allow counties to
impose a 1 per cent sales
tax, did not just sail through
the house. It came up for
debate Monday evening and
generated considerable
debate. Rep. Charles Evans
of Dare was floor manager
and he beat off a number of
amendments one of which
was to make it mandatory
that the tax be voted on by
the people in referendum.
Rep. George Hux of
Halifax, still smarting from
the imposition of the 3-cent
gasoline tax, arose to oppose
the amendment.
“I want county com
missioners to have the
responsibility just like we
had last week on the gas tax.
The people did not vote on
that and if they had it
wouldn’t have passed. If
they need the tax let them
take the responsibility and
put it on,” he concluded.
/Ihursrtay, July a, 198£1T
That amendment drew so/ :
much comment that when.';
the Gentleman from DareT
called the question on the
amendment, Speaker Liston
Ramsey said, “I thought i£ :
was going to be October'
before we voted on the .
amendment.” „
Some people just don’t :
know when to quit. Rep.
Douglas Clark of Duplin
wouldn’t give up on one of : -
his election laws measures
and Monday evening sent up
an amendment which Rep.
Parks Helms of Mecklen
burg thought sounded
familiar.
“Rep. Clark, isn’t this the
same amendment which
was defeated by a vote of 75-
35 Friday?” he wanted to
know.
“This is the amendment (.
that was tabled Friday, ,
which is worse,” the sponsor j
admitted.
He didn’t fare any better.
It went down 24 to 85.
