Vote Is Urged
'During the five months the
1959 Legislature was. in session,
almost 2,000 bills were introduced.
Some of those bills, like the
state minimum waee act., . were
hotly debated and heavily fought.
Many of the bills, like the thou
sands of "local acts," were so mi
nor from a statewide point of view
that they raised more legislative
yawns ttian eyebrows.
Still other bills, like Gov. Hod
ges' withholding tax, are expected,
to play a major rode in the 1960
elections.
But of all the nearly 2.000 bills
introduced, many legislators (and
an apparently growing number
of the general public) feel not
one was more important in this
state's long-range progress than
Senate Bill 351.
That is a bill calling for a
state-wide referendum on Oct 27
to determine whether North Car

modem times. (. ' , v
