EASTER PARADE
Many Present At Sunrise
Service. Church Attend
ance Also Said Good
An unpredicted “spring bliz
zard” hit Brevard and Transylvania
on Easter Sunday morning, and a
variety of bad weather was noted
all day.
Snow flurries were first seen
about 7:30 o’clock, and “Mother
Goose’s feathers” fell all during
the hours of Sunday school and
church service, putting quite a
blanket on the “Easter parade”.
Although Easter Egg hunts were
cancelled, the church services were
well attended, and a large crowd
was present for ’he Sunrise ser
vice, sponsored b> he Jaycees, in
the Presbyterian church.
The pastor, Rev. Ben Ormand,
delivered an inspiring sermon,
and others participating on the
program included Rev. Harold Kil
lian, pastor of the First Baptist
church, and Jaycees, A1 Martin and
Bill Norris.
Special music was furnished by
the Brevard Methodist church

On Affairs of State
Gaither’s Bill Is Enacted Into
Law, Survey Of Action Made
Representative James C. Gaith
er’s bill to find new markets among
state agencies for prison-made
products survived a long Senate
debate last Thursday and became
law.
A voice vote heavily favoring the
bill followed defeat of a motion to
put it off for two weeks.
Opponents echoed arguments,
raised in the House last week be
fore the bill was approved there,
that expansion of prison industries
would clash with private enter
prise. They centered fire on a
provision to give prison - made ar
ticles preference for purchase by
state agencies and institutions.
Sen. Lindsay Warren of Beau
fort came to the defense of the
bill, strongly urged by the Prisons
Department. “No one believes in
free enterprise more than I do
and I think I have a record to
prove it,” Warren declared, “But I
am for free enterprise only until it
becomes a refuge for those who
seek special privilege.”
Enactment of the prison indus
tries bill represented the second
victory of the session for the pris
ons Department. Earlier, its recom
mendation for expansion of thie
work release law was written into
law. That step made prisoners serv
ing up to five years eligible for
work release, under which a man
may serve his time while holding a
job on the outside.
Tuesday’s Action
A State Employees Assn, offic
ial said Tuesday North Carolina is
a “training ground” where other
governments and private industry
can find trained personnel.
To combat this, association exec
utive secretary Clifton Beckwith
said, the state’s 31,317 governmen
tal employees must be granted a
10 per cent pay increase.
Such an increase would cost the
state $23,400,000, Beckwith told the
Joint Appropriations Committee of
the General Assembly.
