Taking an in-state trip during

Your local library is good start

With August being observed as
"See North Carolina" month, IL
braries throughout the State are
featuring special reference files of
new travel brochures, maps and

By serving as travel information

LIBERAL. The recently re-
vamped State Utilities Commission
dropped three bombs here last
week.
One fell on Carolina Power &
Light Co., one on Public Service
Co. of North Carolina, and the
third on Southern Bell. Smart and
steady Public Service made rate
reductions voluntarily before. going
to the mat with the Commission
C.P.&L. was asked to effect huge
cutbacks in industrial rates.
Southern Bells effort to re-
group, to alter its approach on
some rates-raising some and low
ering others-was turned down UNI
til further study could be made.
Since these three occurrences
came within matter of five days
there was quite a bit of street
corner gossip here. Many good
Democrat used to criticizing the
Utilities Commission for being toe
conservative was set to wondering
if this all-powerful body had moi
swung completely in the opposite
direction. Now up for decision;

SUMMER REGISTRATION /.
The University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill is experimenting
with a registration plan which
might be adopted by other State
schools plagued with back-breaking
schedules and mile-long lines in
September.
Mere words cannot describe the
tempers, sweat, ond general frus-
tration created in past years
through trying to get approximate
ly 1000 new students lined up for
college. in four September days!
Beginning in June this year
and continuing through August
Chapel Hill began urging those
coming for the first time to pay a
one-day visit during the summer
months. The word we get is that
the new plan is much more eff
cient, is being snapped up enthus-
iastically by the freshmen, and will
likely prove the permanent solu-
ton to the registration headache
which has descended like 100-de-
gree smog on Chapel Hill each Sep

MARTIN SCHOOL. . The newest
Raleigh junior high school will be
named after Leroy B. Martin, who
has served on the Raleigh City
School board for 25 years.
Martin, who was head of the
State School Commission from its
beginning as the old Equalization
Board in 1927 until he went with
Wachovia Bank in 1885, is a broth
er of the late Sanford Martin of
Winston-Salem, also regarded as a
great friend of education. Another
brother, Zeno Martin, was superin-
tendent of Marion City Schools
coming to Raleigh in the early 40'S
to be business manager of Mere
dith College. He died suddenly of q
heart attack about five years ago
Leroy has a brother, Albert Mar
tin, who is principal of Boonville
High School in Yadkin County, an
other brother, Joseph, principal OF
the Red Oak High School in Nash
and sister, Mrs. Joseph Paris
still an active teacher after 81
years in the work.
Martins grandfather, the late
Bart Brown, served two or three
] terms in the Legislature and is still
remembered by some oldsters ir

ton.
The father of Leroy, Asbury J
Martin, was superintendent of the
Yadkin County Schools in the early
years of this century.
WHICH ONE? Martin is just
completing a new home on a bluff
overlooking Crabtree Creek about {
half-mile west of the Brewers. Hi:
son, DR.. Sidney Martin, his wife
and four children, will take ovel
the Martin home in Raleigh.
The interesting thing is that the
Martin kids can't go to the Martir
School. They will have to go to the

William Baillie of Great Falls
chairman of the Montana Young Re-
publicans Club, last week made the
statement that "after the fiasco
of the Democrat Congress passing
no legislation to protect the indi-
vidual laboring man from racketeer-
ing and other big labor boss practices
| it is clear that labor cannot look to
the Democrats for any help.
Apparently the reference was to
failure to pass the Kennedy-Ives la
Dor reform bill.
For Mr. .Baillie's information-it
was the Republican vote in the Con-
gress that was final and decisive
AGAINST the Kennedy-Ives labor
reform bill. 7796 of House Republi-
cans voting cast their ballot against
it.
That the Kennedy-Ives labor re-
form bill was eyed with scepticism
is evident by the activities of both
parties, and apparently both must
share some of the responsibility for
its defeat, however, 71@o of the
House Democrats voted FOR passage
of the bill and 7796 of the Republi-
cans voted against it.
: Labor and management stood side
by side on both sides of the issue,
too. James Hoffa's Teamsters op-
posed it as did the United Mine
Workers and the Steelworkers. How
ever, so did the National Association
of Manufacturers and the U. S.
Chamber of Commerce oppose it.
Democrat leadership bottled up
the bill for some time, and when |
it was brought on the floor of the
Congress it was considered under a
'uling barring amendments.
This is not to be construed as en-
lorsement or opposition to the Ken
ledy-Ives bill, but merely as informa
ion so our readers will more readily
