to have enough room to take care
of the crowd. The Rev. and Mrs.
W. H. Armistead were welcome
guests.
Many other out-of-town friends
came. The church is beautiful and
shows much hard work has been
done in order to get it finished in

worked this last week to get it
ready for the dedication.

Roundup
SPECIAL SESSION? — During
the hottest davs of the 1957 ses
sion of the General Assembly
along -about June 1 when the ses
sion still had several days to run
a movement began which would
have fixed it so the 1959 legisla
tive term would begin about the
middle of January.
Due to the last-minute rush ol
other matters, the idea did not
become legal, and so the next
regular session of the Legisla
ture is scheduled to meet "on
the first Wednesday after the
first Monday in February next
after their election, unless a dif
ferent day he provided by law."
Only the Governor himself has
the power to bring the legisla
tors back to Raleigh before next
February 4. He can do it by
calling fee a special session . . .
“on extraordinary occasions.”
Governor Luther Hodges ha;
had one special session—the ont
to put the Pearsall plan into ef
feet—and we hear he may hav<
another. If he does, the Legisla
ture would convene, become or
ganized and set up for business
and then convene for regular husi
ness on February 4. Hard work
REASONS- The Governor ha:
stated over and over again that hi
thinks the 1959 legislative sessioi
will be the most troublesome it
years. Extraordinary! If indeei
he is considering calling a specia
session, he will do it to avoii
keeping the General Session her
until July. We have no record o
a special session having bee:
called to do the work usually don
by a regular session. Also, i
the past, it has been estimate:
that a special session of the Leg
D.lature costs a minimum of 8100.
000.
Until 1957, the Legislature
met on the first Wednesday af
ter the first Monday in January.
We amended our State Consti
tution in 1956 to make the
change. Governor Hodges must
have the approval of the Coun
cil of State to call special ses
mu
sion. The idea seems to have
great merit.
A X 0 TI i E R A M E N I) M E N T
Speaking of amendments to the
State Constitution, at least one
more will be voted on in Novem
her.
At the present time, magistrates
or justices of the peace have pow
ers generally limited to items in
which value of the property is not
over $50.
If the people approve the con
stitution change, justices of the
peace can he of greater service to
business people on repossessions,
claim and delivery papers, and leg
al business of this type. At the
present, a lot of these matters
have to go through already-clut
tered court calendars. This means
dela and extra expense.
Provisions for the November
vote was made by the 1959 General
Assembly. Father of the bill was
W. I.unsord Crew, Fourth District
Senator.
PRISON CHAPEL—A project
begun more than five '’ears ago
bv Edwin Pou in the Legislature
is being brought to completion
by our friend Bill Bailey, head of
State Prison.
Pou, son of the late George Ross
Pou, saw the need for the new
prison chapel at Central Prison
here. Although he is no longer in
the Legislature- having voluntar
ily retired from that office—he is
deriving some satisfaction in see
ing realization of his idea.
We might observe in passing,
too, that never in our recollec
tion have the prisons of North
Carolina been in better hands
than the> are toda> under the
capable guidance of William
Bailee.
RETURNING -One of our favor
ite people, Mrs. Roy Parker of
Ahoskie, widow of Hertford Coun
ty Representative .1. Roy Parker,
will be hostess at the McTver Dor
mitory for girls, University W
North Carolina, this year. Roy

1941 until 1946. His son, Roy. ,Jr..
is one of the editors of the Park

weeks, we understand.

Recently when we were bragging
- that Raleigh went for more than
■ a year without a single traffic
' death, we were advised of this
• fact: Albemarle, down in Stanly
■ county, has gone for 17 years with
- out a fatal pedestrian accident .. .
This requires constant work, con
s stant education . . .
e Speaking of careers. 12.000
11 outstanding high school students
11 recently voted this way on the-ir
career preferences: teaching, 30
1 per cent; science and engineer
1 ing. 27.4; medicine and nursing,
0 13.3; business, 7 per cent; com
1 munications, 2.5; law. 2.2; and
n all other careers, 17.6 . and
e the thing that surprise-- is that
n so many would prefer teaching
d ... in view of wages, etc.
The other day we saw this de
r scription of a reckless driver "One
who passes you in spite of all your
car can do . . .” It required a
death on the Raleigh-Durham
boulevard the other day to remind
Motorists that when a school bus
is stopped on a one-way road, cars
in the other lane—even though it
may be many feet away must
- stop, too . . . This out-of-state
