Lane Of Hertford Is Right Hand Man at Session ii Mill I m I i.n. im iniiinm.wniii.nl -, J . ' RALEIGH - Take 120 people from all areas of the state and put them together under one roof In Raleigh and call them mem bers of the 1969 House of Rep resentatives, and you might get organized confusion. And whenever there is confus ion, someone must get it straigh tened out and running smoothly so that the legislative mill can start grinding out needed legis lation. The Speaker of the House, Earl Vaughn of Eden, has the prime responsibility of getting the House running smoothly but he has to have a right hand man to do all the many things necessary to good order and good organiza tion. That right hand man this ses sion Is Archie T. Lane of Hert ford in Perquimans. Lane, a veteran legislator with three reg ular terms and three special terms under his legislative belt, was elected without opposition at the Democratic caucus of the House membership. Lane was sworn in Jan. 15, the day the session started, but he had been on the job several days prior to the official opening of the session to supervise a host of jobs that had to be completed before the legislators started arriving. He is in charge of a multitude of things that are ex pected by the legislators. For in stance, he and his staff members have to help the lawmakers get settled in their offices and get them whatever they want for their offices. Another duty is keeping order In the House while it is in ses sion. Lane has to see to it that the doors of the House are staff ed to keep unauthorized persons out while the lawmakers are con ducting their business on the floor of the House. This is not the first session as SgU-ai-Arms for Lane. He serv ed the same post in the 1965 session of the General As sembly. He was elected to that post In 1967 after losing his seat In the House due to the redisricting of the House of Representatives ordered by the federal courts in 1963. After that redlstrictlngtook place, Perquimans County be came just one county In the six county district which could send two representatives to the Gen eral Assembly. Lane enjoys equally well serv ing the House Sgt.-At-Arms. He enjoys working with the mem bers and helps them in any way he can, . ; He was first elected to the House from the county in 1961, and was returned again in 1963 and 1965. In addition to those terms, he served three special terms. .-- . Lane served in public office before coming to the legislature. He was a county commissioner for 14 years and served eight years of that time as county chairman of the board. A farmer and business man, Lane has always tried to serve hospital processing, . cross matching and administering the blood. This is far less than the $22.00 to $75.00 a pint patients must pay for commercial blood. Two hundred pints a day - ev ery day in the year - is used in our Tidewater blood area. Won't PERQUIMANS COUNTY NATIVE, ARCHIE T, LANE, is one of the elected officers of the 1969 session of the General Assembly in Raleigh. Mr, Lane, who has represented Per quimans in three legislatures, was sworn in Wednesday. January 15, as House Sergeant-At-Arms. He was elected to . that position by the House membership without opposition. Shown here at the swearing in ceremony in the House arev 1-r, Mrs. JoAnn Smith of Raleigh, Principal Clerk; Sam Bur rows of Asheboro, ReadlngClerk; Mr, Lane; and Earl Vaughn of Eden, Speaker of the House, when called upon to do so. He was active in the county ASC program for many years and helped organize the Albemarle Soil Conservation District and served as its first chairman of the board of supervisors. One of his strongest work proj ects in which he spent a great deal of time has been rural elec trification. After helping organize the Al bemarle Electric Membership Corp., he went on to serve as president of the state Tar Heel Electric Membership Corpora tion for two terms. One thing Lane has strongly believed in for Perquimans has been home rule by the county citizens. During his session In the House, he introduced neces sary local legislation sothat when the 1967 session came when the county had no local represen tative no local legislation was Craig Rascoe Is Recognized In Scouting Craig Rascoe, son of Mr, and Mrs. Jaca Rascoe of Williams burg, Va. and the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Claude D.

While a member of the leg islature, he supported a teach er pay boost that raised the be ginner teacher with an "A" cer tificate from a low $2,900 to a more livable level.
