TTie specta ors are not Raluigh Report By: Ernest Messer Letters about liquor legisla tion, wh.ch began to arrive in volume even be-ore me General Assembly convened, have not appreciably uim.n kheJ. They are less noticeable now, however, due to the iact viii-'u peo.-ae are beg.nxnng to write aoout o-her mavi«ers. Lct.ers liquor are in greatest volume. I have re cent d only two le.iters from indivku\_ls in Haywood-Mod iiOn-YanCt-y that have advo cated relaxing the liquor laws. All the others several hun dred m number have advo caed leaving the law as it now stands or even making it more restrotiVe. This is not an easy issue to settle. Beginn n? Tuesday, March 14, hear ngs will be held to determine, if possible what the people really want to do about the liquor ques tion. According to my ma 1, hers is how people s.aud on other issues. They are against whiskey advertisements; They favor more pay for teachers; They are for Daylight Saving Tme; They oppose increasing the base cf compulsory auto mobile insurance; They favor the full U 32 of planes by the Highway Patrol. Two problems that confront Western Nor h Carolina legis lrtors are the setting up of an Upper French Broad De velopment Commission and secumg funds to complete the Agricul ural Center at the Asheville-Hendersonville Airport. Some leg slation deal ing with 'these two matters will probably be worked out soon. An organization to bring about the abolition of Caoktal Punishment ha. started func tioning here in Raleigh. Three bits dealing with Capi al Punishment have al ready been introduced. Each one of those dra’c with the sub.iect only in part. too excited with the time clock showing six minutes. A bill to completely abolish Ca •‘•(al Punishment will pro bably be introduced in a few dry a. I don’t knoy Wheth er such a bill can be passed this year, but indications are Abat the move to obol sh the dea'h penalty will be more rowerful this year than ever before. Yanay Farmer ’Hogs Down ’ Corn A visitor to Yancey C>unty could get confused thinking that he is in the midwestctn hog cour/ry, according to E. L. Dillingham, County Ex tension Chairman. Byrle Robnson had a field of corn that fell down, and he was unable to harvest it all with a corn harvester. Af.er a discussion with Ahe County Agricultural Exten son Chairman, Robinson con tacted on Eastern North Carolina pi£ market regard in? sales dates He attended a and purchased 92 hogs weighing from 50 to 100 pounds each. Af:-er putting an eleotric fence around the field, the r’rs ”-gre turred in the field and seemed to like the moun tain scenery and found de light. While "hogging dowh com” is a new system for Yancey County on a falrlv lar"-e bas is, it is being watched wPh considerable jp/erest by nei ghbors and interested persons in the county. * E. L D llimrhqm, County Extension Chairman, said Ahat it might be that this would be a possjb’s solution to the high labor required of some farm enterprise. 13 seconds of the period Icf, and Ahe score 5-17.
