John M. Jordan Jordan Outlines Goals State representative John M. Jordan, candidate for Lieutenant Govenor in 1976, was in Hoke County last week introducing himself to voters. Jordan, a native of Alamance County, outlined his platform for office as he met with local citizens. "My goals for North Carolina are aimed at helping people," said Jordan. He listed such goals as efficiency in state government, a temporary freeze on state employment which would allow salary increases for the remaining employees, a review of state laws, to return additional tax dollars, and increase the state's minimum wage. "1 am anxious to hear from the people; to listen to their feelings and suggestions of my goals for an improved, more responave state government," he said. This Is The Law PARKING LOTS This is a fall series of articles which appear weekly during the next three months. They have been written for the non - lawyer as a public service of The Lawyers of North Carolina. Henry Hudson operates a parking lot. He charges his customers by the hours for the privilege of parking on it. His customers are not required to hand over the keys to their cars or to leave them in their cars. The attendants merely collect the fees and at times designate suitable places in which to park. The drivers of the cars do their own parking, locking them or not as they wish. Doris Dunn one morning parked her car in the lot. When she returned several hours later it was not there. Neither Hudson nor his attendants could explain its disappearance. Several weeks later it was discovered by police in a neighboring county on a lonelv road, abandoned and wrecked. May Doris Dunn recover anything from Henry Hudson? There are infinite variations in the methods of conducting a parking lot business. The liability of the parking lot owner in most jurisdictions, including North Carolina, depends upon the legal relation that has been created between the car owner and the parking lot operator. Depending upon the facts of the particular case, any one of the following legal relationships may be created: licensor - licensee, bailor ? bailee, and lessor ? lessee. The facts of the particular problem would seem to indicate that the relation of licensor and licensee has been created. As a consequence, Doris Dunn cannot recover any damages from Henry Hudson. The fact that the key to the car was not required to be left in the car or handed to the attendant is important. The possession and control of the car was never delivered to the parking lot operator, thereby creating a bailment. Doris Dunn acquired merely a license, a privilege to use the land of Henry Hudson for parking purposes. Since Henry Hudson never acquired legal possession and control of the car, he is not responsible for its theft. The fact he might have exercised greater care and watchfulness and have prevented the theft is immaterial. If Henry Hudson has required his customers to surrender the keys to their automobiles or to leave them in their automobiles, so that he or his employee could park them at any place of h is choosing and move them from time to time during the day as occasion might require, there would have been created the legal relationship of bailor and bailee. Doris Dunn would be the bailor and Henry Hudson would be the bailee. Henry Hudaon,as bailee, would be in potiession and control of the automobile.

Postal Service first-class mail service improvement program will go into effect at the Raeford Post Office on October 11, Postmaster Joseph D. Carver said. Under the program, first-class mail will receive service that is equal or better than airmail. The major, new service step will extend to all first-class mail weighing 13 ounccsor less. "In practical terms, what this service improvement means is that domestic first-class postage now will purchase the level of service that previously only airmail could buy," said Postmaster Carver. "Under the new program, there no longer will be an advantage in purchasing airmail postage for domestic delivery," he said. Priority mail (now starting at weight in excess of 13 ounces), which includes air parcel service, and international airmail are unaffected Report To The People by Senator Robert Morgan One of the things that is frustrating people most is government red tape that gets tangled in many things they try to accomplish. My office gets hundreds of letters complaining that federal bureaucrats are interfering with their efforts to do business or just make a living. During a tour of the state this past August, we heard this expressed many times, especially from businessmen. The was one reason 1 gratified last week that in the Senate we were able to start cutting some red tape that has been afflicting the housing industry, which has never regained the momentum it had before the current recession. Everybody in Washington knows that reviving the housing industry is a key to easing unemployment and getting out of the trouble our economy is in. yet in 1974 the Real Estate Procedures Act (RKSPA) was passed which lias hindered, not helped, the industry. Sellers, buyers, real estate agents and builders all have complained about the regulations and red tape which parts of this act have imposed. The paper work that the Act requires is too much and some of it must be done twice, for what purpose I have not been able to determine. There is a 12- day waiting period which often inconveniences both buyer and seller. Some sellers are delayed from moving out of their homes or out of town because they have to wait to get their equity to purchase another house. And in some cases, buyers have been forced to move into motels and pay additional rent when they could be moving into the home they are purchasing. The purpose of the Act was to be sure that the buyer understood the costs attendant to buying a home but the red tape has caused not only undue delays, but has increased the costs of buying a home. To help this situation, I co-sponsored a bill to suspend the worst sections of RESPA. Both Senator Garn of Utah, the other sponsor, and I felt that suspension of three sections (Sec. 4. 6, 7) of the Act would give Congress, a well as the Department of Housing and Urban Development a chance to take a new look at the situation while relieving the consumer and the housing industry from the delays and burdens caused by RESPA. This bill is now before the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee of which I am a member. It will come to a vote in the committee very soon and I believe there are enough votes to suspend these regulations that are plaguing people engaged in buying and selling homes. In fact, I believe there is a growing awareness in the Congress that people want less red tape and less regulation from their government and that we will be able to remove more of these restrictions as this session progresses. This it a movement in which I am happy to participate. by the improvement program and continue in their present form, the postmaster said. "Airmail stamps will be sold for use on priority and international airmail. They can also be used in various combinations with other stamps for first-class mail," he said. Customers can exchange airmail stamps, and stamped envelopes and cards at full postage value for ordinary stamps, stamped envelopes and cards. Stationery bearing airmail indicia will be allowed to be mailed at the first-class rate. Postmaster Carver said. To aid postal customers, maps showing the cities and areas targeted for next and second day delivery for mail from Raeford will be on display in the post office lobby, the postmaster said. White top collection boxes, now used exclusively for airmail, will be removed or converted to use for other purposes, the postmaster said. Legals NOTICE OF SALE S3 25,000 COUNTY OF HOKE.
