ERA - 2 Years Dormant? By SEN. CECIL HILL With the ERA Bill laid to reot for two years ? I hope ? we will be moving on to such <K / ^ controversial issues as the death penalty, liquor-by-the- | drink, the governor's right of succession, and the governor's 1 veto power j All of thoee issues will be given in depth study but none will have all the emotion of ERA. Lava ought not to he pooood on amotion or without ??curing the fact. InRhLL* "***_ JT ***** Gwernor'iluLi^fwdmiw and an avanh* of eo For the legislator's wivw this is the highlight of the ?MSI on! Many of the wives who do not spend the session in Raleigh showed up for this important occasion The ladies were beautiful donned out in their very beet Most men wore business suits, but a few tuxedos peppered the crowd. As you know, the Governor's Mansion has been renovated ?nd refurbished under Gov Hoihouser's administration. The removal of at least a doxcn coats of paint on the woodwork has revealed some of the finest wooden stairs and furniture I haveseen. The wainscoating is painted white; the rest of the walls are papered, and the plastered ceilings are ornamented with mouldings of various designs. Mrs. Holshouser and her friends - it is rumored - made the draperies, which would have cost at least >1,000 per window. The ceilings are almost 20 feet tall, and the windows reach nearly 16 feet. We spent a half hour sipping tomato juice served by members of the prison department assigned as "trusty's" to the governor's staff. The governor said a blessing, and we moved to a buffet dinner in the dining room. Table assignments placed me with a senator from Hickory and his lovely daughter, along with one House member and their business people. Mrs. Claude DeBruhl also sat with us looking very pretty for the occasion. I haven't been served by white-gloved waiters for two years; in fact, since the last dinner part at the Governor's Mansion when Gov. Holshouser had us over. Af??, Hinnor Mi.. Iran Miller of Saiiford, ac companied by a brilliant young pianist, sang for us. She stated that her teacher in New York had tried unsuccessfully for two years to eliminate her Southern accent, but finally decided to capitalize on it. With Jimmy Carter in the White House, I-guess that talking "Southern" is stylish now. The days speed swiftly by but not with tranquility. Several days have passed since the ERA vote, but I still got almost ISO pieces of mail on the subject today! Oh, well, perhaps the postal authorities are a little late with their postmarks, as well as deliveries. Waiting in fine s. I Uncle's Saving Money! "It takes money to make money," and nobody is more aware of that old *aw than the United States Government. Rising prices of paper, ink, and just about everything else have sent ihe cost of printing paper money soaring. That's one reason the government has started making $2 bills again. It can print fewer bills and still produce the same number of dollars, reports the January issue of National Geographic World. Twenties are an even better bargain. A dollar note wears out in about 18 months, but a 20 can last as long as 5 years, because it gets less use. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Washington, prints 7 kinds of bills for general ose ? $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100. The $2 bill is not a new idea. The bills first appeared in 1776, but the govern ment did not make many 2s so people never got into the habit of using them. Production was stopped in 1965. To encourage people to circulate the new $2 bills, the government is turning out 400,000,000 a year. As the twos beqome more popular, fewer ones will be printed. If everything works out as planned, officials think they can save about $27,000,000 in printing costs during the next five years.

Gudger had indicated on March 1 that he would support the legislation when he said, "I supported ethics legislation throughout my career in the North Carolina Senate and I look upon the standards suggested by the Obey Com mission as moderate and reasonable." The Commission on Administrative Review, known as the Obey Com mission, was created in July, 1*70, In the aftermath of scandals involving the unethical use of public funds by some members of ' . < . * Bonds Sales Sales of Series E and H savings bonds in Madison County during the fourth juarter of 1IW were $17,781.
