I THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1967 NUMBER TWENTY-NINE Subscription Rates $3.00 Per Year Out of county $4.00 1 ■* Scene From Top 0’ The Hill By: Jack Kelly The often spoken of 4-day workweek is closer than many of us realize. In substantiation of this statement, I submit a rash of articles and three or four recent Bills submitted to Congress for the change of the old Holidays we have. The idea is that we should have num erous Holidays celebrated on Monday instead of the date we have always used in the past. Thus, Washington's Birthday would be celebrated on perhaps the third Monday in February each year and we would have a 3- weekend. Not a' bad idea since old George was actually born on February 11th. Old George was actually young George when, in 1752, the Colo nies went along with the change to the GeoJgian calendar. He was only 20 years old then. These “change” experts even make a fair presentation for doing away with the Fourth of iJuly. I had to check that one out myself. They had the facts on their side again. Seems that " Riaaolutvon’ ’ of IruAapand encc was approved by Congress cn July the Second in ’76 and some 17 additional days passed before ai! the Members approv ed i- Os course on Veterans Day which used to be Armistice Day they have it made. Thank the good Lord none of them even suggest that we change Christmas and eNw Year's Day. That suggestion might cause them a bit of tro uble. Why don’t they just come out in the open and plue for a 4- workweek? It wouldn’t be too difficult to set forth cogent reasons for it and to give proof that it would promote and ad vance our National economy. Matter of fact, it would come close to doubling our economy since it would necessitate the establishment of a complete new ‘‘free-time’’ industry to take care of the long weekends. People don’t change. That’s a fact that might cause the new Holiday planners a bit of trou ble If they get their way and make us a half a dozen or so 3- Holidays, then, when the 4- workweek gets here, the good citizenry will still want the Mondav-holiday and insist that they be given the previous \ Friday or the succeeding Tues day off. That, of course, is a Viinor problem. Some people, I wink they are insane, are pro mptly advocating that there be M workweek at all. Everyone will receive money upon which tollive and, if he or she deter mkies upon something for the g T d 01 90, they will merely •jbmlt it to some kind of a *jp«d of Bureaucrats and that wfll be that. None of these ideas can bo accepted easily by those of us who jiurt "knew" that no one could do a week's work in 48 hours. Noowadays the 40-hour week is accepted Nationwide and lots of outfits have 30-hour weeks for 40-hour pay. Somehow or other, that sort of figuring has to price things out of the market for too many people. Trouble is, when you argue a gainst things like these propos als, people don't want to listen to what the costa will be. They only listen to the proponents who promise “pie in the sky.” Away back in 1932 Or 33, Al Smith said “Nobody shoots Santa Claus.” So, anyone working a 5-day week naturally listens with an attentive and affirmative ear toanyone who proposes to put him on a 4-day week without his losing any money. The most confusing thing about the entire idea is that it just might work out well for all concerned. In other words, I wonder just how pig-headed and obst : rate I can remain in my opposition to the idea. As of now, I will listen to and read all about the various propositions, and, somehow or other, I don’t believe I will become an ardent convert, too soon. However, I will trv to Iraag » wew«wO»*y op en mind on the entire matter. Raleigh Report By: Ernes' B. Messer The bill, u by Western North Carolina’s leg is.a.cTs, to exem.ii persons un der 16 years of age from hav ing to purchase a trout stamp has passed ihe House and been sent tto the Senate. Be fore the trout season opens, this r jguk >. on should be law. Eighty-one counties in Nor th Carolina have school boards appointed by mea.s oi ~ne Omnibus Bill. The Omnibus many pages long does only one thing. It legislates into exiutei.ee all school boards in the slate that are n »t elected by the people or are not ap pointed by special acts of the Legislators. Only 19 counties seleot their school boards by means other than through the Omnibus Bill. J\ •- Fifty-six counties select their school boards by means other than through the Omni bus Bill. Fi'ity-six counties have school boards with s’aggered terms. Only 25 counties which l appoint under the Omnibus Bill have now/angered terms. The number of members on the boards of these Omnibus Bill counties ranges from three to eight, with fifty-one Counties having five mem bers.

Fifty-five years after its founding, the Girl Scout organization still believes homemaking knowledge is vital for every girl—but now it holds nationwide conferences to prepare her for her role outside the kitchen, too. GIRL SCOUT WEEK MARCH 12-18 Seek the highest ideals of character, conduct, patriotism, service. Find fulfillment in the arts, the heme, the world out side. Dare to be the improbable and dream the impossible. This was the challenge that Juliette Gordon Low, founder of Girl Scouting in the United Sta tes, gave to her original band of twelve girls 55 years ago. Times change and the joyful world of the young has moved from madcap to mod cap. But the values and goals Mrs. Low established for Girl Scouts en dure. Today, more than 3 mill ion girls, ages seven through 17, participate in the March 12 birthday of Girl Scouts of the U. S. A. and in the way of life envisioned by Mrs. Low. Mow, MR o\vwoy», otljl acorns set the pace for their genera tion, moving with ease from the God Calls You slipped away To a land so fair No more pain, To ever bear. You'll live with Jesus, So peaceful there. While a°es flow by, You’ll know no cares. The memories you left us To be shared by us all. w e will always hold dear. Till we too, hear Ood’s call. In memory of my sweet “Uncle Jim Gr ffbh,’* w h o de parted this life Feb. ie, 1967. A niece, Loyce Woody Deyton moves to amend the ABC Law. Rumors are making the rounds now that “the Brown Bagging Bill” has been writ ten and is ready for introduc tion. It also appears that there is enough sentiment here in the General Assembly to pass some type of “Brown BagAuig” Mil. The introduction of the bill to make Eastern Carolina College a University will com pile* e the solution of several major problems. How one votes on University ntatus for ECC can effect how others will vote on Congressional Dis tricts and on appropriations for other colleges. There was a hearing on our liquor advertising ban bill this week. The P. ard O. Committee, however, will nrt vote on it for another couple of weeks. thnely to the timeless from frugging to farming, surfing to serving. Mrs. Low would be amazed and proud of her Girl Scout family, 55 years later. But all of us who have seen the family grow are just plain proud. Happy Birthdav, Girl Scouts. Long may you glow!
