THURSDAY, AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 2, 1952 LYNN NISBET: Around Capitol SquaM CAPITOL Fvery citizen of North Carolina is proud of the State capital building. Visitors from other states are charmed by its atmosphere of graceful dignity. Present day architects and con tractors study its construction as a model of near perfection in obtain ing strength without loss of beauty. Any proposal to change its archi tectrual lines or add to the build ing meets violent protest. It is a thing of beauty, an inspiration to strive for the ideal, a visible sym bol of the permanent stability of State Governmtnt. But—for prac tical purposes of the executive and legislative departments of that government it is entirely outmoded. It met the needs of the state when more than 110 years ago and when the population was three quarters of a million. It-is utterly inadequate to serve more than four million people. JAMMED The first floor is occupied by executive offices of the Governor, the Secretary of State, the State Auditor and the State Treasurer. Each of these depart ments have auxiliary offices scat tered among half a dozen other office buildings, and even with that overflow provision the capitol offi ces are jammed so that assistants and clerks cannot do most effi cient work. The legislative halls upstairs are scarcely large enough and House of Representatives, much for seating members of the Senate less provide for working room for clerks and stenographers, or for citizens of the state who come to Raleigh to see the General Assem bly in action. Most serious handi cap now is in facilities for news paper, radio, television and cam era reporters. Numerous conferences with the powers that be have ob tained nothing more than the pro mise that effort will be made to take care of newsmen during the next session in half the space as signed them for several years past —which was entirely inadequate for decent news coverage, so that peo ple of the state might know what their legislators are doing. NEW BUILDING lt seems in evitable that before many years a new building must be erected for the General Assembly and its aux iliary agencies. The assemblies of the have appropriated money to provide adequate space—adequate dt the time provided, at least, though in many instances now out grown—for the Supreme Court ana the Departments of Agriculture, Education, Highways, Justice and Revenue. Educational institutions have been accorded liberal treat ment. But the Legislature from year to year has been reluctant to take care of itself. The matter can not be much longer neglected with out serious detriment to efficient operation. ==Befe= DOLLAR SAVING DAYS Soys’ and Girls’ Dept.

He will not be in the senate next time because of rotation in his district, but while in Raleigh over the weekend spon soring one of the debutantes, he took occasion to talk to several people about the idea of a new building. He thinks that would be a highly appropriate place to put some of the much vaunted “sur plus” money accumulated in the general fund account. A building with decent working space for the General Assembly, including com mittee meetings and offices for pre siding officers, and which also fur nish quarters for top executive of ficers other than the Governor, could be built at a cost ranging from two to five million dollars. Senator Little is of the opinion that amount might easily be saved in one session of a General Assembly dealing in biennial budgets rapidly approaching the billion dollar level, by providing adequate surroundings in which to consider the legislation. UNTOUCHABLE The Anson legislator Is not brash enough to think the people of the‘State will tolerate much monkeying with the present capitol. He goes along with the idea of leaving it as it is, main taining the present assembly rooms as historic memorials. That idea does not contemplate cluttering up up the place with historical ex hibits. Let the halls as they are and have been remain, not as place for exhibits, but as themselves con stituting the “exhibit”. REGISTRATION There is only one requirement for eligibility to vote in North Carolina in the up coming general election on Novem ber 4. That is to have your name properly entered on a precinct reg istration book. All the statutes a bout having to be 21 or over, have to live in the state or precinct for a specified time, being able to read and write, and all the other stuff about qualifications for voting, real ly have to do with eligibility to reg ister. A citizen may have all of those qualifications and more, but unless his or. her name is properly on the registration book there is no chance to vote. If the name is properly on the precinct book and is not. challenged, the voter has nothing to worry about on elec tion Jtlay except to decide how to mark the ballot. DATES Point is, that while November 4 is the great day of de cision for the people of the United States, it is not so significant for North Carolinians as the dates be ginning at nine o’clock on the morn ing of October 11 and ending at sundown on October 25. On the three Saturdays—October 11, 18. and 25—the registrar is required to be at the designated voting place with the registration book from 9 o’clock till sundown. Other times the prospective voter must seek out the registrar at home or business place. When the sun goes down on October 25 the jig is up for every body not properly registered. WARNING From the voter’s standpoint emphasis is on the word “properly.” Every election year there are thousands of disappointed citizens who find they are not “properly” registered, although they may have been voting for years. Registration and voting in a muni cipal election, or a special election on ABC stores or beer and wine or for a special tax levy or bond issue, does not mean “proper” registra tion for the general election. Neither does long time voting in precincts which have had complete new reg istrations ordered within the past few years do any good this time. Only safe thing is for every citizen to check with his or her precinct registrar during the period the books are open and make sure a- Jells ~~ r ~ ■g’j.u.in.nuiugMH DOLLAR SAVING DAYS SAVE ON OUR SECOND FLOOR Extra Special Can y° u beat 100 per cent Satin and this for a Wool Blankets Taffeta bargain?

He has recaptured the Beekman Place mansion. The bantam Bar num had been yearning to reenter his town house since last October, when Miss Holm changed the lock on the door. VIA BASEMENT Rose slipped into the mansion via the basement Saturday night while Miss Holm, from whom he is legally separated, was out of town. He said he was dismayed because someone had taken his collection of antique silver. Miss Holm flew in from Miami Sunday night and tried to enter bout “proper” registration. the mansion. The key wouldn’t fit the lock in the front door. "This is my home and I intend 1 to enter it.” she told three private eyes hired by Rose to guard the door. “Let her try it," Sidney Struble, | one of Rose’s attorney's, said. I 'The locks have all been changed.’ | ! "This is another example of my j husband’s usual gallantry,” Miss j | Holm said. Walter Beck, an attorney who accompanied Miss Rose to the mansion, said there wasn't a ; "damn thing” to Rose’s charge that someone took his antique sil ver. After Miss Holm drove’ away. Struble reentered the mansion for a conference with Rose. About 20 minutes later, one of Rose's spokes man gave newsmen this statement: "Mrs. Rose arrived at 10 p. m. sharp and by a strange conici dence there were 50 photographers and reporters on hand to greet her. She arrived empty handed.
