None has met open c marked protect. The prompt nets with which vacancle were filled haa been aa grati lying as the caliber of m? selected for the positions. The appointment of Har grove "Skipper" Bowles 01 Greensboro to succeed Wll Ham P. Saunders as dlrectoi of conservation and develop ment was greeted with pleas ed surprise by Capitol Squa re. It has not been unusual foi men of comparable business activities to take places on ad vtsory commissions and boa rds of trustees. The contribut ions they have made to goo< government in these capa cities has been largely responsible for the progress made by North Carolina. T< get a man in his early for ties, with such diverse and extensive business in which hi has been active, to assume i full time job for the State it an achievement In which Governor Sanford and the en tire state can take pride. The C&D post Is one of the most Important in the State setup. With some 750 employ ees and a budget of around 4 million dollars a year, the de partment is not In s class for size with highways and edu cation, but Its scope is broad er, dealing with practically every phase of activity. Acceptance of the director ship by Bowles does not rule out entirely, but tends to dis count the prospect of divorc ing the commerce and Indus try division from C&D and establishing It as independ ent department. Governor Sanford has Indicated he might propose at least a thorough study of that plan. Fourth & Fifth Grade Library Clubs Meet The Fourth Grade Club met Wednesday with Penny Smith residing.

I t SEATING r- Secretary of State ThadEui has completed the task of aa m signing aeata to all mara ,r bera of the General Aaaembiy and has prepared Uata showing , the seat numbers and a small diagram of the House andSen n ate floors, so that members and others can locate their places. These have been dis tributed to members. Here tofore, Secretary Eure has had ready for distribution Im mediately after the caucus the 'official' seating charts, showing the names of mem bers In their respective seats. This year, with the caucus coming five weeks before the Legislature convenes, these master charts are not ready. The 15 Republicans in (he House will be seated along the beck row in Nos. 98 through 112, running between the dia gonal side aisles. These In clude four seats on the ais les, which usually are de sired by senior Democrats. There has been some cri ticism of Secretary Eure for 'splitting' the Guilford dele gation and seating Republi can William Osteen away from the other three members. However, under a resolution adopted by the General As sembly 30 years ago, every returning member is en tided to the same seat he had the previous session; or, has first choice over new members for any vacated seat. Two Gull ford men did not come beck, and within the legal time an old member filed request for one of the seats. Osteen made no request at all, and tinder the resolution, Eure was bound to assign the vacated seat to the returning member reque sting it. Most time*. the Guilford de legation has sought seats to gether, but there have been occasions when they prefer red to be separated. Meck lenburg, Forsyth, Buncombe, and other large delegations have generally been divided in the seating arrangements. NEWS COVERAGE If requesta for accreditation of newspaper, radio and teevee reporters and photographers is any sign, the inauguration of Governor Terry Sanford and the 1961 session of the General Assembly broke all records for complete news coverage. The "Press-TV Radio" identifications tabs were almost as consplcious as military uniforms at the in augural exercises Wednes day and Thursday. At that, there were hundreds of a mateur photographers and writers who did not qualify for the lapel badges, but were on the Job taking notes and pictures to let the public know what was going on. Advance Information Is that the news coverage of the Gen eral Assembly, which con venes on February 8, will have the largest contingent of "qualified" newsmen In his tory. Tentative plans are to have the newsroom re-Ins tai led on the east portico of the capital, where It was located last session and provided the most convenient service that newsmen had ever known. Fa cilities Inside the legislative halls will be more cramped and crowded than ever, but the authorities have Indicated willingness to cooperate toful lest possible extent. Telephone . and telegraph companies have made ar rangements for speeded up service for news media and legislators alike. Applications are not In, but present indications are there will be atleastflfty newspaper, 1 radio, tee-vee and magazine reporters assigned to full time coverage of the Legis lature. That is almost one re porter for each member of the General Aasembly. The U. S. Imported $507 million In sugar during (fis cal 19S9-60, mainly from Cuba and the Philippines . Su gar It the nadon's second biggest agricultural Import, next to coffee. w si bi B4PW Club Meets B Ul US The Business and Profes sional Woman's Club met on m Monday evening.

Bowoter Expects Slightly More Production In 1961 Bowi ten Southern Piper Corporation anticipates that 1961 may bring slightly higher rates of production to their mills at Calhoun, Tennessee, but substantially less than the mill's rated annual capacity of 430,000 tons, which Is the largest of any newsprint mill in the United States. Nevertheless, the new year will bring new problems In the form of Increased output from competing Canadian mills as well as condnued rising production costs. The producdon of surplus bleached and unbleached sale able kraft pulp will condnue on the pulp dryer machine, which will operate at less than rated capacity. The baled sheeted pulp la shipped to Bo water jnllls overseas or sold I on the open market. Costs of transportation, la- ( bor, raw materials and cap!- 1 tal improvements continue to rite. It was pointed out, all of which Increases the profit squeeze. Long-range projecdons of the American economy point to a continuing Increase In the demand for newsprint, so Bowaters Southern Is contin uing Its program of capital improvements.
