The humorous talk by the State Chairman kept the audience m stitches, especially such puns as, "The ideal Democratic ticket in 1976 would be Kennedy who is waterproof and Eagleton who is shockproof ' " In a more serious vein Rouse said that 1972 was a major breakthrough for Republicanism in North Carolina He said that Governor Holslxiuser was the best prepared person for governor of this state in this century, and that Hargrove Bowles was the best Democratic candidate for governor in decades. Rouse indicated that Holshouser is off to a good start and that his only weakness is "that he is too honest " Holshouser's campaign promise of im proving roads was praised alongside the reorganization of the State Highway Com mission Rouse said that Republicans are on the move in North Carolina and that President Nixon had told him at length how proud he was of the 1972 GOP sweep in this state House warned against apathy and division among party ranks.

Meadows Secretary and Reporter Thursday 1 Marshall Graduate Was Honor Guard At Johnson Funeral f ,- SGT. BISHOP Sgt Clifford Grant Bishop of Weaverville was one of the military honor guard in two services for the late President Lyndon B Johnson He was one of the servicemen chosen for the honor guard when President Johnson's bcxiy was lying in state at the Johnson library at the University of Texas in Austin and again at the burial service in the family plot at Stonewall, Texas, on Thursday Raleigh BY ERNEST MESSER In his January 17 message to the North Carolina General Assembly, Governor Holshouser recommended that medicine be exempt from the three percent sales tax, or, as lie stated it, that the tax on medicine be repealed. This would cost the State $8,000,000 annually in revenue. PrencrlpOoD drugs are nol taxed. Only patent medicines are taxed, and they are taxed, not because of a special tax levy, but because they were never specifically exempt from the sales tax A special act would have to be passed in order to exempt patent medicines from the sales tax; the term "patent medicine'' would have to be defined and medicines classified ac cording to this definition, or else each patent medicine w ould have to be named in the exempting act The Department of Revenue provided rue with a partial list of medicines that would be exempt, with an explanation that the department is unable to classify many items as medicine or non-rnedicine How, for example, would mouth wash be classified'1 Is it medicine'' What about band aids, guaze, and adhesive tape-1 Would these be tax exempt " How would tooth paste be classified The Department of Revenue list includes headache and pain remedies, antiseptics, depressants and stimulants, laxatives, and a number of other classes of medicine Some of the medicines now taxed are aspirin, Polaris Dental Poultice, Alcohol, Witch Hazel, Sleep-Eze, No Do, Sal Hepabca, Carter's Ijver Pills, Woodtar Creosote, Hadacol, Father John's Medicine, Dr. Scholl's Foot Spray, and Sloan's liniment. Patent medicines are sold primarily in drug stores, grocery stores, and gas stations The customer buys them along with groceries, cosmetics, and panty hose. As long as the tax rate is the same f-11 items purchased, or if noi-e are exempt from taxation, no separation or special calculation by the cashier is required. The purchase price of aD items can be added and the tax calculated on the total amount at the same rate. If patent medicines are exempt from the sales tax, none taxed items must be separated from those taxed, and the cashier must know " A veteran of two yi-ai- in Vietnam, Sgt Bishop has been awarded many i lt.ito i. including the Purple Heart the Bronze Stai , the Army Commendation Medal with Valor, the Air Medal and Unc i medals in the Oak Lea! Cluster. Other citations in elude medals for Good i on duct, Vietnam Campaign and National Defense. He has been in military service sinc e I 1968 and is now stationed at Burley Raised WASHINGTON The C S Department of Agriculture has announced a national marketing quota of 5fi0 5 million pounds for the 1973 crop of burley tobacco, about 5 Report what goes in which classification Two separate transactions will be required At the end of each tax period, merchants will be required to report the value of all items sold that are not subject to the sales tax It is doubtful whether the many gas station operators, who keep a few boxes of aspirin for the benefit of their customers, can continue this service because of all the record keeping that will be involved Keeping records and filling out reports will be a problem to all vendors of patent medicines There is some senUment for exempting patent medicines from the sales tax This may be what the people want But in making the decision, everyone should remember that the proposal applies only to patent medicines prescription drugs are not taxed.
