These three propose a 30-day period extension and subsistem* and tra\t. allowances for memb»-rs of tin- Genera. Assembly, a change m the Assembly convening date, and th< grant - ; p .-•• r of attorney to married women. Basically, the first doe.- thi-: Provides that legislator: will • receiv* sls per day for 130 days of th* s* .or instead of only 00 days ( I tie per diem rate is unchanged) and th* n add.-: "Tr.* members and presiding officer- sha! also receive while engaged in legislal ■ duties, such subsi-tenc* and tra\ • al lowance as shall be established by law. provided, such allowances shall n •’ ex ceed those established lor mer.ober- State board.- and comrrii-.-inner,- gen erally.” The present maximum .-übsi. tenc* al lowance for boat an comri members is $8 a day in-id* th* slat*. and tnr.*. allowance is s< \*n cents i*er mile if the official- use,- his own car. or actual cost of tickets on public trans portation. Since it is unlikely that any regular .session of the Assembly, because ol the increasing scop* "1 stat* bu. :i,* jn vr> near lutur* ~\v;u run sot 1* 120 days, the effect of th< amen-:men’ will be to rai-e 1* gi- iators indi •si .a! pay from about 81,350 to about ' The $8 per diem subsistence allow; n< * for the duration of th*' session will ami. it i- estimated, from about SI,OOO to about $1,500 to the receipt.- <0 ea< - r. causing bin, to draw ap;*r> >., matelv 53,000 tier .-*• ion.

Meals then a.eraged (if one was a light eater or oh a diet) $1 each or 83 per day. Gut of the remaining $2 the legislator had to pay his irave! on weekends, num erous incidental n«<es-itie- attendant to Jiving away from home, telephone bills, and meals for his constituents when they carne to Kaieigh. In addition, lie is, of course, exp* * ted to mamtain his r* idenc* al horn* Coupled with that i - his personal los - of business and return at home wh le being in ltaieigii attending to In state’.-; busine.-s. Although the pay period of the leg islators was subsequently extended to 90 days, and then to sls per day for not exceeding 90 days, rising costs of. living and inflation sopped up the extra allowances, such as they were. i maintain that even if the amend ment is ratified the legislators will receive very little compensation for their time and services to the state, and I’m not accounting for their loss of time and business in their normal gainful pursuits at home. They will not have to pay for the privilege of serv ing their state, but they will continue to be giving their time largely free. Not all of the legislators can afford, that. Certainly not members of the assembly who are salemen, teachers, farmers, business men, doctors. The same applies to lawyers, some of whom look upon service in the legislature as a step t* promfnence in official life, practice before the state commissions and boards, and greater recognition at lent or jn the state.

It is the highest state poli tical office held by any Macon County man, so far a- we can learn, since Janies L. Robinson' was lieutenant governor, hack in 1881-85. The appointment also is new proof that tln4f southwestern end of the state, long forgotten (if, indeed they every heard of it) by Raleigh officials, is winning recogni tion.

To the Editor: 1 should 1 like to express through your newspaper my deepest appreciation for the many kindnesses afforded to u- by the town-people of Chape: Hill. Although our fire • was eertainly no tragedy and of little moment to the com • munity, it was of con id* rable , import to my family. Neighbors put out the fire and -aw that we never lacked f r food, clothing, shelter, or any of the comforts that ai d true heart- may offer. To our neighbors, the trades people with whom we deal in Chapel Hill, my associates at work, and indeed, to many strangers, our heartfelt 'thanks for enriching our lives by your kindnesses which will leave with u- a wealth of memory of tar rhore value to us than any thing we lost. 'Gratefully, John Clayton around.” Overheard la.-t week in a doctor’s office, a woman who had brought hei elderly fa ther for treatment saying to the doctor’s receptionist as the other waiting patients gawked: ■'l 11 tell you one thing about my father. He's not afraid of pain. He was born and raised up there near the Great Dis mal Swamp where the big bear and th<- rattlesnake came out and looked him in the eye when he was little.”
