$50. 900 BARRELS OF BEER
CONSUMED BY CAROLINlANS

New York. - North Cardinals
entire chicken production brought
farmers $2,158,000 less than was
collected in taxes on beer and ale
in North Carolina last year, the
United States Brewers Foundation
reported. By way of comparison,
North Cardinals farmers last year
received $5,115,0O from their
chicken sales, according to recent
ly released U. S. Department of
Agriculture statistics.
Taxes on beer and ale in North
Carolina amounted to $7,273, 900
last year, including $6,627, 900 in
state taxes and $4,000 in federal
collections. State taxes over the
last 10 years increased $2,921 OFT,
or 70 per cent, indicating the
brewing industry's increased inn
pact on the state economy. Fed
eral taxes over the same 10-year
span dropped $1,273,444.
The N. C. brewing industry
produced 65,476 barrels of beer
and ale last year, 1000 barrels
more than in 1866, used 3,797, 208
pounds of premium grade agricul-
tural products, the Foundation dis
closed. Purchases included 1851
ZIG pounds of barley, $4,000
pounds of corn, 612,700 pounds of
rice, 373,117 pounds of sugar and
syrups, and 22,175 pounds of hops
and hop extracts.
North Carolinians consumed
630,001 barrels of beer and ale
last year, 7,455 barrels more than
in 1866. The states per capita
consumption in 1856 was "A gal
Ions per person, far behind Wis
consin which tops the nation at
25.5 gallons and the national aver
age of 1877 gallons per person, the
Foundation reported.

THE HIGHER
THE FEWER
There's Always Plenty Of Room
At The Top
BY
NANCY J. MIDGETT

This morning while washing
dishes l was listening with half an
ear to the radio when / heard the
news commentator announce that
someone as reward for some out
standing merit "would get the
gravel for the next ten years
Now, it flashed through my mind
that that seemed poor reward for
any effort but even as / thought,
he quickly corrected himself and
said "gayel."
With my sometimes perverted
sense of humor, / often get more
laughs out Of what comes over the
air, not intended to be funny, than
/ do out of the Intentionally comic.
Some of the commercials are so
obviously full Of mumbo- jumbo
that they scream out to be made
fun Of, for surely the sponsors
can't expect people to take so
much repetitive yakyak seriously,
especially when followed by more
Of the same, only on another prod
duct which is always far better,
smoother and a better buy than
whatever went before. Said spon-
sors must have a very poor opin-
ion of the public's mentality.
Perhaps what makes me mad
about repetition on the radio does
MT worry the next person one iota.
The morning report from Eliza
beth City on what was on "the
biotter" used to get me fairly
foaming at the mouth but lately
II have been employed elsewhere
about the house at the time of that
announcement and haven't heard it
-or has some new script been
written? If SO, by what name does
the "blotter" go now.
Of course the radio in England,
although not running commercials
when l was last there, also have
their boomers made by the news
commentators. There is the famous
one made by one of the leading
men on the BIC staff. The occas-
ion was the reviewing of the fleet,
and the commentator, very worked
up by the great display, the, pomp
and social comings and goings, and
by the majesty of the ships in their
gala array, said in a very distinct
voice as twilight fell and the ships
became fairyland scene with il
Nominations, "--and now the Fleet
is b-well lit up" may have mis-
quoted a piece but the gist of the
announcement was very much that
way. The thing was, of course, that
by the evening and / presume with
all that splicing of the main brace
and what have you, the gentleman
was himself very Lit up. / believe
he was moved on to other fields
with reprimand.
\ It is nice to sit here and criti-
CHE. If / had to sit in front of a
mike and MARBLE on and on about
some product didn't give a boot
about, / would very likely misstate
many a fact and miscall many a
name too. I would possibly gel
fired for doing it but if l gave
some person or persons belly
laugh / often get from some of the
boomers, perhaps the firing would
be worthwhile.

legislature can do little more
than scratch the surface in de-
veloping information it needs II
1t Is to do a sound, farsighted,
realistic job. Our situation is nc
different, basically, than that OF
other states, and it is out OF this
that the legislative council idea
grew.
Our overriding problem Is the
finance problem. 1t is becoming
progressively more complex and
more difficult, and no one knows
this better than the Legislators
who are confronted with the task
of trying to reconcile increased
governmental costs with available
income. In what it hoped would
be an effective step toward lick
ing this problem, the 1851 as
sembly passed the state controller
act. The controller, A. M. john
son, who died last week of a
heart attack, was a highly COM
petent and devoted official, but
he had no real authority in the
field Of state fiscal control. The
controller system does not ap-
pear to be any substantial i'm
provement over the procedures
it replaced.
Perhaps we may reasonably ex-
pect that constitutionality Of the
1857 legislative council act will
be decided one way or the other
within the next few months and
that the supreme courts declara-
ton will not, as in the past, be
withheld until it is too late for
the council to get its job done,
if constitutionality is upheld. 1t
may be presumed that the coun-
ellis first and greatest objective
will be the fiscal problem.
The recent assembly refused
to submit to the voters a pro-
posed constitutional amendment
empowering the legislature to
appoint such interim committees
or councils as it deemed necessary
to study governmental problems
as a foundation for legislation.
Those opposing submission of
the amendment expressed fear
that by inference, if not actually,
the amendment would open the
door to invasion by the legislature
Of the traditional sphere OF the
other branches of government
and tend to break down the
checks and balances which e.
strain government from becoming
a dictatorship.
Fundamentally the objection to
the amendment was the same as
the objection to the scope of ac-
tivities that congressional COM
mittees have assumed. Perahps
proposed constitutional
amendment was not sufficiently
circumscribed with guarantees to
protect the citizen and hence
should be modified, but from my
point of view legislative councils,
if held within proper limits, III
justified and needed.

When You Retire
Robert Peterson

"For retirement contentment,'
an ex-electrician of 81 wrote me
the other day, "you need some,
thing to do, something to love, and
something to look forward to-"
He's right too. Assuming that you
have health and enough money to
get by, contentment in your later
years will consist largely of these
three ingredients. Let's take a
look:
Something to do. Ask any dis
gruntled retired person the cause
of his long face and there's a good
chance he'll attribute it to the abb
sence of something to do. Retire
ment specialists are generally
agreed that the inability to use
leisure time effectively is the
greatest single problem Of retire
ment. How can you solve it? The
answer lies in developing as quick
ly as possible some lively interests
that can be carried over into re-
tirement.
Until they retire most people
find their greatest satisfaction In
their work. Their jobs give them
plenty to do and it never occurs
to them that they'll need some
substitute pursuits when they quit
working. Men in particular need
to be prodded to take up some
stimulating off-the-job pursuits
prior to retirement. Perhaps they
will plan a business of their own.
Perhaps they'll find a useful niche
in local politics or in church work.
Perhaps they'll discover new sat-
isfactions in the world Of art. Or
perhaps they'll learn some craft
such as cabinet-making or photo
graphy.

Helena - On motion of Atty,
Gen. Forrest H. Anderson, the
state board of examiners, of
which he is a member, has dis
approved expense claims of
members Of the recently created
legislative council. The way is
now open for a constitutionality
test. Comprising the council,
which Is an interim group for
the study Of state government,
are six senators and six repre-
sentatives, equally divided be-
tween the two political parties,
In 1851 the legislature set up
a body of this nature. This COM
mittee or council made many
recommendations to the 1853 as
sembly, most of. which were en-
acted into law. Whether this
council would have survived a
court test is conjectural, as none
was instituted. However, similar
groups established through leg
islahve action in 1858 and 1855
were declared unconstitutional by
the Montana supreme court. Be-
cause Of two new justices on the
tribunal since the first OF this
year, the thinking of the MAORI
ty of the five-man court appears
to have changed. Hence the leg
islative council idea may now be
more sympathetically received.
A new factor in the litigation
now imminent may be whether
appointment of the six senators
constituted appointment under the
requirements of the 1857 law.
Regularity OF the selection OF
the six house members has not
been question. They were made
by the speaker. In the senate,
however, the appointments were
to. be made by the committee on
committees, whose function 1t is
to recommend the membership
of the various committees. This
committee did report its selec-
tions, but following the usual
procedure merely recommended
the names to the senate. The SEN
ate took no action. The argument
is whether the committee rec
ommendation amounted to ap-
%pointment.
Another point raised vas that
the committee recommendation
was not unanimous. However,
there was no formal dissent in
the nature of a minority report.
ALI of this probably is much
ado about nothing. The real is
sue is the principle involved, and
might just a. well be frank
about what this really is. There
have been and still may be per-
sons in the nonlegislative branch
Of the state government who
resent having agencies of the
lawmaking branch prying into
the functioning of executive Of
ficials and departments. Also, the
relationship between the legis-
lature and the supreme court has
not been notably cordial.
1t is my impression that in
declaring two former legislative
councils unconstitutional, the
supreme court majority resorted
to convenient expedient to clothe
their opposition to the principle.
Through the majority opinions in
these cases ran the thread of
deep concern as to where such
tendencies as the legislative coun-
ell might lead. Some states have
legislative interim groups cast
in the same general mold as that
used by the Montana assembly.
When Montana entered state
hood in 1889, a legislature meet
ing in regular session two months
every two years may have been
adequate, but that has not been
true in the AZ years since my
reportorial contacts with the
states lawmaking assemblies be-
ian. The blunt fact is that in
two months each biennium the
