Rep. Messer Writes
About Legislature
Now that the state-wide
"liquor-by-the-drink" bill has
been defeated, one would
think that nothing more would
be heard about "liquor-by-the
drink" this year.
But this is not to be. There
will definitely be a local
"liquor-by-the-drink" bill
introduced that will permit a
vote in some county. Moore
County may possibly be the
"guinea pig" county. The bill
may pass.
The House passed and sent
to the Senate a bill that will
change the date for primary
elections from the last
Saturday in May to the first
Tuesday after the first
Monday in May. This is an
experiment to see if the
people of North Carolina will
vote in greater numbers on
Tuesday than they "have on
Saturday. In 1970 in the May
primary, only 770,000 people of
a total registration of 1,859,000
voted.
The House has also passed a
constitutional amendment to
lower the voting age to 18 for
all elections. The amendment
will be submitted to the voters
of North Carolina in an
election to be held next year.
If the amendment is approved
by the people, the 18 year olds
will be permitted to vote in all
elections in 1972.
The U. S. Supreme Court
has already ruled that the
voting age for federal elec
tions must be reduced to 18.
If the state assumes all the
non-federal cost of the
Medicaid program, as
Governor Scott and the Ad
visory Budget Commission
have recommended, the total

Garden Club
Officers Are
Elected Here
Mrs. Edna Martin presented
a program on "World Gar
dening" at the monthly
meeting of the Marshall
Garden Club held at the home
of Mrs. John Corbett on March
18.
Gardening knows no
barriers of language or
national boundaries, and in
showing that World Gardening
is a force for peace, Mrs.
Martin described specific
programs as proof: North
Carolina and California send
aid to 4-H clubs in Korea;
states in the Central Region
have joined the "Partners of
the Alliance for Progress;"
the District of Columbia has
sent seeds and tools to Peace
Corps Volunteers in 17
countries; Nebraska,
Colorado and Maine support
scholarships for 4-H boys and
girls in Korea. The American
Korean Foundation reports
that since the beginning of the
World Gardening program in
1959, the National Council of
Garden Clubs has contributed
more dollars to be translated
into seeds, tools, pigs, and
scholarships than any other
organization in the United
States. Through the Near East
Foundation we are helping
farmers with annual incomes
of $80 learn to grow and
harvest the fruit from olive
trees and grapevines on the
impoverished hills of Jordan.
Mrs. P. R. Elam, chairman
of the nominating committee,
presented the following slate
of officers for the coming
year: president, Mrs. J. B.
Tweed, vice president, Mrs. J.
L. Baker, secretary, Mrs. O.
A. Gregory, treasurer, Mrs. S.
E. Rudisill, and historian,
Mrs. C. D. Bowman. The slate
was elected as presented.
Mrs. Tweed announced that
the county Agricultural Ex
tension Service reports that
they have 300 participants in
the Sun Flower Project
initiated by the club last
month. Mention was made of
the Statewide Environmental
Week observance during April
19-25, and April 22 "Earth
Day".
