UMSTEAU The first real lively debate of the session took plate on Thursday when the Prison Industries' Bill came to the floor of the Hduse This Bill pro vides that all state agencies shall purchase from the Prison Depart ment such supplies and materials as they need in their ope ration, pro vided their price is no higher than the standard price-for such articles. The intent of the Bill was to give as many prisoners as passible some thing to do and at the same time make the Prison Dept, as nearfy self supporting as possible. In setting up these industries there would also be the matter of rehabilitation Many prisoners would be taught t'ades that would help them greatly in securing jobs aftef they have served their time and been sent back to civil life. This has been the case in practically all of the state? where this plan has , been tried. The opposition claimed that ttie State would put private enterprise QiiL.pt business and really let their imaginations . run wild in the pre dictions they make It is hard to see how private industry could suf fer very much when the entire prison population represents only a very small percentage ot me wont ing population of the State. As a matter of fact the Prison Dept, is ' already engaged in several industries ! and no private enterprises in the i Slate have suffered. The whole mat j ter tinder consideration in the Bill is in ifie hands of the Prison Board ! and the Budget Commission and it fas hard to believe that these busi ness men would promote any in ! uuslry that would really hurt pri \ ate enterprise in the State. Wednesday was Greater Universi ty Bay before the Appropriations Committee and the presentation by ! President Friday, his Chancellors arid Vice President Carmichael were most impressive. The people of Or ange County,,have a great interest in the appronriations for the Universi ty at Chapel Hill and the Medical j Affairs Department. This is due to the fact that with the exception of Wake County we have more state employees than any county in the I slate and our economy is definite ly tied up ’With University approp riations The attitude of the com i mittee seemed to be favorable ; since for the first time this year not a single member of the commit tee left the meeting before the pre sentation was completed.
