Fireworks Bill
AS the anti-fireworks bill came
up for consideration On the floor
Senator Wallace of Johnston asked
that it be referred to the com.
committee ION propositions and
grievances. Senator Allsbrook OF
Halifax arose to support the move
and asserted that he did not be
lieve it right for this state to al
low the manufacture of fireworks
within its borders and permit their
shipment out of the state. In a
way, he said, it would be encour-
aging the use of something in an
other state that is froWned upon
in this state.
The senate committee was ask
ed to confer with a house com.
mittee in preparation of an anti
fireworks bill acceptable to both
committees. Under the senate bill,
the transportation, use, sale Or po-
session of Inconsistencies for
%out-of-state shipment. would be
outlawed.
The drunken driving bill
prompted long floor debate. It's
chief supporters were Reps. Scott
of Beaufort, Halstead of Camden
and Sims of M%ecklenburg. Scott
argued that a person should not
be penalized until final adjudication
of his guilt; Halstead said the bill
would protect q. persons constitu-
tional rights; and Sims asserted its
enactment would correct a long
existing evil.
Reps. Stone of Rockingham,
Register of Vance and Shuford of
Buncombe were against the bill,
Stone saying it should be called
IAN act to promote drunken driv-
! ing in North Carolina" Register
said North Carolina ranks third il
highway fatalities; and Shuford
said the bills enactment would be
the opening wedge to weaken the
highway safety program.
Rep. Uzzell's resolution asking
equal educational opportunities
said there is a wide difference in
per capita wealth and income
among the states and that 1.-The
federal government only through
its power of taxation can equaiize
the abilities of the states to finance
their programs of education and to
provide within the states the equa-
lily of educational opportunity
which the national welfare de
mands without federal control"
North Carolina" Uzzell said,
because of its relatively low per
capita income and it's large per-
centage Of children of school age,
cannot from its own resources
meet the educational needs which
the national welfare demands"
During recent years, he said, at
least 5000 we'll qualified teachers
have LETT the profession, principally
because of low salaries. and that
since the beginning of the 1916
school year, 1,150 have left the
classrooms. More than 100, 900 chill
dren of the state. he said. are being
taught by s~ub-standard teachers.
"The youth of North Carolina and
Of the nation 7 not preparing to
teach, primarily because of the
meager salaries and the low public
esteem in which the profession is
held" and 1t h e present teacher
output does not meet by far the
normal teacher replacement de-
mands," Uzzell said. He added that
money is needed in this crisis to
supplement- the salaries OF
teachers, to provide scholarship
aid for superior students who will
prepare to be teachers and to
make the profession more at
tractive in order to prevent the
constant loss of desirable teaching
personnel"
Senate judiciary one voted favor
ably on a measure to create a
board of examiners for funeral di-
rectors, similar to supervising
boards of several other profess
sions. The board would be com.
posed OF five members, recon-
mended by the North Carolina
funeral Directors and Burial AS
ISOLATION, Inc, and appointed by
the Governor.
