North Carolinians to Vote
On Five Amendments Nov. 2
Raleigh ? North Carolinians will
vote Nov. 2 on five proposed
amendments to the State Constitu
tion.
The first one would authorize
the General Assembly to provide
for recalling retired supreme court
justices to fill temporary vacancies
caused by iHness or other emer
gencies.
The second would authorize the
General Assembly to create a board
of paroles and confer upon it t+ie
authority to grant, revoke and ter
minate paroles which is now exer
cised by the governor.
The third would limit to one,
"Your vote and support for
SHERIFF HUGH SALTER
will be greatly appreciated
by me."
BOBBY BELL
Deputy Sheriff
tho number of state senators from
any one county.
The fourth would reduce from
four months to 30 days, the time a
voter must reside in a precinct be
fore becoming eligible to vote.
The fifth would permit the gov
ernor, in filling a vacancy in the
executive or judicial departments,
to appoint a person to serve the
balance of the unexpired term if
that term is to expire on the first
day of January after the next gen
eral election.
Under existing statutes retired
supreme court justices become
emergency superior court justices
and may be called on to hold terms
of superior court. There is no ex
isting authority to recall them for
duty on the supreme court.
The amendment creating a parole
board would terminate the gov
ernor's power of granting, ter
minating amd revoking paroles
filter July 1, 1955.
Under present laws, it is impos
sible for one county to have two
or more senators. The effect of
the proposed amendment would be
to prevent any one county from j
having m(#e than one senator in
the General Assembly at any given I
time, whether the county alone
composes a. senatorial district or
whether it is combined with other
counties in such a district.
In making appointments accord
ing to existing statutes, the gov
ernor's appointee to fill a vacancy
can hold office under the appoints
ment only until the next regular
election. At this next regular elec
tion, any person seeking the office
in question must run for election
for the period of time between the
election and the end of the term to
which the person vacating the of
fice was originally elected, and
must also run for a regular term
to commence at the end of that
short term.

Ship Arrival Was
Better Than Circus
By JURY SCHUMAOUB
Well, it was just like a big cir
cus com# to town. The beautiful
luxury ifner, If/S Stockholm ar
rived at Morehead City Sunday
morning. Half the town got up to
see her dock, and then missed
church to stay and wave goodbye.
What a hustle and bustle getting
the paasengers aboard and the vis
itors off the ship the last minute,
from the looks of the stacks of lug
gage piled up in the port terminal
warehouse every single passenger
must have brought at least ten bags
each.
it seemed to me that every pas
senger had from one to a half dozen
cameras. Now since I am going
along as photographer, I couldn't
help but wonder who can 1 sell my
pictures to?
This ship looks pretty much like
any other ship from the outside,
but dear reader, right there the re- 1
semblance stops and backs up a lit
tle. Inside she is a palace of fine
wood paneling, blond maple Wood
carvings that are superb, paintings,
murals, chromium and crystal.
There seem to be five people to
do every little job. Everybody
wears a uniform, can't tell a gen
eral from a private around here,
doesn't matter anyway, they are
all so polite and gracious.
I'm getting along great, every
one says I look like a Swede so
I've learned to say Skol and then
keep my big mouth shut from
there on and everything works
out fine.
The food in the beautiful dining
room is great. However as in most
foreign deals who can understand
the menu? So they are. real smart
because right at the top so that
anyone can understand it says sir
loin steak, chef salad and french
fries. Most everyone says, "Waiter
give me this here" and points to the
top of the page. Not me. So I say,
'Waiter, this is all Greek, excuse
me, thi^is-all Swedish to me, would
you order for me? If you ever
come to Morehead City I will per
sonally order you a seafood dinner
that they never heard of in your
country."
Well It worked fine. This lad
now had a job to do. He was go
ing to show me that he knows
good Swedish food, and how to
serve same. Well, kids, I got fed,
don't know yet what I ate but it
was some kind of good.
-^V1\S. This system i& still work
Ing. and if it doesn't break down.
I am going to gain 50 lb. this week

lad named Carlson and since 1 told

then when the Captain explains
what you have to do in case of an
emergency the hilarity ceases.
Here you are out to sea. Millions
of miles of it, so the lifeboat drill
has a sobering effect on every
passenger.
I think the first thing every
passenger does is to look out the
porthole la their state room, but
have discovered after a hundred
trip*; that the view Is rather lim
ited, the only difference between
waves is some are big and some
are bigger.
When we discussed this cruise
several months ago it was agreed
that ! would have a large cabin for
:> darkroom and a cubby hole some
where to sleep. Now here I am
alone in my cabin that sleeps four
and my darkroom was designed as
a hall closet for a midget. Life is
all backwards.
Have been up all night getting
this darkroom together. It seems
that the ship's eleetric system is
220 DC and my photographic
equipment is all 110 AC. If your
TV is fouled up for the next few
days, it's all my fault. They have
part of the radar, wireless, and
what-not set up in this darkroom
all to make it possible for me to
make a few pictures.
The ship's engineer and chief
electrician ain't going to forget
yours truly for some years to come.
It's now 8:30. And ^m I hun
gry! So all you have to do is push
the button and there is old faith
ful Carlson looking like I just got
him out of bed. which I did, and
here comes wonderful coffee and
Swedish pastry, fresh and hot. Oh
Lord.v, it's good. The dining room
doesn't open till 8 a.m. but Carlson
went into the bowels of this mon
ster and came back with a break
fast fitten for two kings. Please
pass the word to Bernard Leary to
cancel those two pair of britches
I ordered. They ain't going to fit
no how.
Day after tomorrow will tell
you about what happened in Ha

The Basic Idea
Behind the All-New
1955 Pont i ac
On Display October 29 and 30
About 30 years ago General Motors Cor
jt\. poration presented to America a new
ear called Pontiac. This new car was the
direct result ol a very specific idea.
Kw Mm was this: to create a car which took
its style, its engineering principles and its
features from the very best and most expen
sive in America-am/ to build these into a
car priced just above the very lowest I
Naturally, such an idea produced a wonder
ful and highly popular car? a car which mil
lions of satisfied owners have driven with
outstanding pride and pleasure.
Now, nearly three decades later, an entirely
new Pontiac has been created for 1955? a car
completely new from the ground up I
On* thing, however, about the 1955 Pontiac
remains unchanged? its basic idea? to offer
the American public the very finest car that
ean possibly be built to sell at a price within
easy reach ol any new-car buyer.
Whan you the new Pontiac on Friday
or Saturday? Oct. 29 or 30? you will be im
mediately impressed by its remarkable new
styling. No other car in the world looks like
this new Pontiac!
Whan you drlvo it you will be astonished at
its performance. For the 195S. Pontiac in
troduces the powerful new Strato-Streak
V-8, an all-new engine that has already been
proved in more than 3 million test miles!
When you prlco the new Pontiac you will
come face to face with the basic Pontiac
idea? you will be agreeably surprised that
ao much car, so much sparkling newness,
so much luxury, so much downright good
ness can be priced so near the very lowest
We cordially invite you to come in on Fri
day or Saturday and see for yourself what a
superb all-new General Motors masterpiece
has been created to carry the wonderful 1
name "Pontiac" for 19S5.
