taching to the iw
amendment to dry up beer and wine
?alee in Cleveland county. For agree
ing to remove this rider from the re
venue bill. Mull woh support for bills
to prohibit wine or allow load regu
lation of beer in 29 counties. These
measures sailed through the House
but were killed by the Senate Fi
nance committee.
However, a measure calling for lo
cal option on beer and wine wss
passed. Under the act, an election
can be held in any county on the
issue of beer or wine or both upon
petition of 15 per cent of the reg
istered voters. If a county votes to
outlaw wine or beer, then any muni
cipality with a population of more
than 1,000 could vote on the question.
The General Assembly departed
from tradition on alcohol in another
aspect by enacting measures to per
mit votes on legalising ABC liquor
stores in Hickory, Franklin ton, Louis
burg and Asheville. Hitherto, near
ly all ABC elections have hew on a
county-wide basis. Also pained was
a measure calling an election in
Mecklenburg "county oh legalising
ABC stone. A bill to permit an ABC
store vote in any city of 5,440 popu
lation was defeated.
- The most effective lobby seen in
Raleigh in many years, the N. C.
Wildlife Federation, brought terrific
pressure to bear upon the lawmak
ers and won a battle to divorce the
Division of Game and Inland Fisher
ies from the State Department of
Conservation and Development After
July 1, an independent state agency,
the Wildlife Resources Commission,
will administer the program to pro
tect the state's wildlife.
The 1947 General Assembly was
definitely hostile to proposals for
increasing the state's licensing and
regulatory boards. A measure to
set up a* hoard to regulate under
takers passed the Senate but was
killed in the House. Measures
to place regulation of the taxicab in
dustry under the State Utilities Com
mission were killed. A commission
to make a thorough study ef the
licensing boards Was provided for in
a resolution that sailed through both
houses. - >
A measure to provide for the li
censing and regulation of "licensed
practical nurpes" was enacted. The
act would not prohibit anyone from:
serving as a practical nurse, how
A measure was enacted outlawing
the manufacture, transportation,
sale, possession, and use of fireworks
in the State, effective July 1.
The legislative session will result
in submiting several issues to the
people in the next general election.
These will include: Removal of the
constitutional limitation on. debt of
state, counties and municlpalitfM;
increasing the authority of county
commissioners to levy taxes fttr
general fund purposes from 16 to 26
cents per $100 valuation; increasing
legislators' pay; to provide that in
special elections the results wiH be
determined by a majority of the
votes cast, and to double the pay of
legislators.

We sincerely believe that no car is more generally
satisfactory to its owners than a Pontine.
Year after year, Pontine offers the fullest measure
of quality?plus outstanding economy of
operation and upkeep. It really leteee nothing
essential to be desired?in performance, in com
fort or in handling ease. And, always, it is one
of the most btMttiftU cars to be seen on the
streets and highways.
The 1947 Pontine Silver Streak is an example
of what we mean. People who get it need envy
no one?and the same will be true of those who
get their Pontiles in 1948, 1949 or 1930. Year
after year, Pontine is a fine car?in every respect.
