'Scottish Hills' of McCorkle Place to the background sounds emanating from Hill Hall - North Carolinians have a wide Seven man race r T a a Lilt by Lynn Lloyd Staff Writer David Kitzmiller, Democratic candidate for the North Carolina House of Representatives from the 17th District, told the Daily Tar Heel in an interview last week he feels "students, blacks, women and the working man have not had anyone to represent their interests" in state government. "Most of the people that the members of the House represent have a below-average income, whereas none of the representatives will fall in this category," he said. "I intend to go to Raleigh as an advocate of the people not just of the 17th District, but of the entire state." A high school teacher and coach at Northwood High School in Pittsboro, Kitzmiller is currently working on a graduate degree at UNC. TODAY: Increasing cloudiness with chance of showers or thundershowers; high in the 60's, low in the 30's; probability of precipitation 60 percent today, 10 percent tonight. II II yyealher At Harry's auction by Richard Wilmot -Smith Feature Writer "Who'll give the bid for S9 . . . Sold to the lady for S8. 1 warn you, I'm trying to prompt you," cajoled 'and prompted auctioneer Jack Johnson at the Harry's Restaurant closing down sale last Saturday. 'There's a nice showcase over there we're about to give away. Will you give me S20, David? I believe I would. We didn't come here to give it away . . . Sold to the young man for S20. Everything had to go, from a microwave oven to the last saucer and cup. The auction was a lively affair lasting four and one-half hours as Johnson talked, sang and shouted his way through the sale of 180 lots. Johnson did not observe the conventions of auctions If the price was right, he'd shout "Sold" to a startled bidder and hit his walking stick against the seat he was standing on. Nothing ruffled him and even when a dog interrupted the bidding with a loud bark, he had an answer: "WhatH you give on the dog?" t Johnson worked hard and aroused the crowd. The prospect of being asked to bid was never very far away. After four hours the occasion drew to a close. Many people (? er Bias tor jo. Consumer protection, "no fault" insurance, a statewide kindergarten system and the equal education for all students w public schools are a few of the major issues which concern Kitzmiller. "I think loans to pay the difference between state and out-of-state tuition fees for University students should be made available to any non-resident student who affirms his intention to become a permanent resident of North Carolina," Kitzmiller said. "Upon graduation this loan should become self canceling at the rate of 10 percent per year as long as the student is residing and employed in North Carolina," he continued. Because he is opposed to any regressive tax because of the burden put upon those with lower incomes, Kitzmiller proposes to go to income taxes, raising tax rates on all individual incomes above S 10,000. "In 1963, 80 percent of all taxable property in Chapel Hill was owned by the University. The local source of revenue is property tax, placing a heavier tax on residents," Kitzmiller said. "If a certain percent of taxable property becomes impacted, the state should make direct payments of money to compensate local taxing units for non-taxable property held by the state." The 36-year-old candidate wants to make young people aware of an amendment on the November ballot which will prohibit IS -year-olds from seeking public office in North Carolina. muff naa to Chapel Hili, North Carolina, ( Staff Photo by Tad Stewart ) HIT David Kitzmiller "I plan to work on legislation that would reflect the interest of the people I have been talking about," Kitzmiller said. "My profile is similar to that of the typical representative, but my philosophy is of the forgotten man -the average voter." Kitzmiller will be opposed in the 17th district -Orange and Chatham counties-by Fred Cates, Phil Edwards, Ed Holmes, Trish Stanford, Pete Tripodi and Bob Windsor.

But even he could not find a bidder. And the red sign was left unsold. After it was all over. Johnson spoke with a surprisingly mild voice. He is a personal friend of the Macklin family, which operated Harry's Restaurant, and he was disappointed with what the sale brought in. "An auctioneer," he said, "stands between the buyer and the seller, and that's hard. In fact, it gets a little hard trying to keep them spirited and keep up the enthusiasm and the momentum." This sale was not his record for a non-stop performance. He once lasted eight and one-half hours at one job. But even he admitted he "may be hoarse Sunday ." Harry Macklin said he had no regrets about closing down. 'Thank God the nightmare's over," he said, but he had tears in his eyes. 1 The decision to close wras sudden. "After the spring vacation was over, we made the tentative decision to close." Harry was reluctant to say why the sudden close came about, but sources indicate that with the expiration of the lease, his Winston-Salem landlord came up with a large rent increase.. Meanwhile there are strong rumors that Wachovia bank has plans for the property. Wachovia's headquarters are in Winston-Salem .
