Mother
Mother Nature's changing of a gentle spring day
into the fury of winter may be of only passing con
cern to most people A rainy spell of several days
duration is thought of as merely an inconvenience by
many
What about the farmer'' To him, weather is a very
serious matter and all too often he has been on the
receiving end of Mother Nature's temper tantrums.
Kai'h season, her many moods have a direct bearing
on whether it will be a "good year" or a "bad year"
on the farm, and in the market place.
Roth the farmer and the consumer suffer when the
weather doesn't "cooperate."
This year in some parts of the country, Mother
Nature sent out warm spring breezes and rains to
tease the buds of fruit trees into a premature birth
then, subjected the tender buds to a treacherous
freeze and bitter cold. Another of her "triumphs"
was Hurricane Agnes, responsible for much farm
damage in North Carolina and other states.
These are just a few examples of the farmer's
eternal battles with the weather. However, farmers
accept the weather's unpredictability as a part of
the gamble involved in their chosen profession.
Consumers find it harder to accept; it's difficult to
vent their anger on the "uncooperative" weather
when it nudges up the prices of those farm com
modities affected
After all, how can you boycott Mother Nature?
Scientists tell us that the day will come when
weather can be controlled but in the meantime.
Mother Nature will continue to have her say in the
price consumers must pay for their food.

By ERNEST
The first session of the 1973
75 General Assembly came to
an end on May 24, 1973, with
Democrats and Republicans
accusing each other of dab
bling in partisan politics.
A bill, Introduced by a
Democrat, to place the
management of the Highway
Patrol under a nine man
commission was passed by the
House but held up by the
Senate.
Republicans accused
Democrats of trying to strip
Governor Holahouser of his
' power; Democrat! contended
the only power involved was
the power to "fire and hire."
This power to "fire and
hire" has been the main Issue

Report
MESSER
Republicans.
Since the Republican Ad
ministration has established a
personnel department, con
sisting of 17 personnel officers
and three supervisors,
covering the entire State of
North Carolina, what are their
intentions regarding all
classes of State employees?
This Is the question that has
"bugged" Democrats. As the
General Assembly leaves
Raleigh, it leaves the
Holsbouser Administration
with practically ao restraints
on its poiger.to fire and hire
State employees. Including
members of the Highway
Patrol.
The fact that the Holsbouser
Administration has had,
seemingly, little Interest in the
actions of th General
Assembly has led observers to
conclude that his main in
terest is In organizing,
reorganizing, or restaffing
State Departments.
Governor Hobhouser has, in
fact, spoken emphatically
only three times during this
legislative session: once,
when he opposed a bill to
require that the make-up of
the Board of Elections con
form to party registration; the
second time, when he spoke in
favor of repeal of the soft
drink tax; the third time,
when he spoke in support of
his state park program.
The General Assembly Is
scheduled to meet again on
January 16, 1974. The direc
tion this Administration will
travel should be definitely
established by then.
To be continued January,
1974.
Pharmacy Comment!
Having trouble with
new safety caps?
Safety packaging has been
hailed at the great innova
tion designed to drastically
reduce child poisonings.
Though the verdict is still
out. it's apparent that addi
tional thought, planning,
and development Is needed.
To begin with, by simple
request anyone can receive
non-safety packaging for the
dispensing of a prescription.
And further, once Rs are
dispensed in resistant con
tainers, many parents shy
away from closing them
pjppsrly simply because of
