BY THE WAY... By DORIS ARMFIELD What with the March of Dimes campaign well under way, the City of Florence had a novel way of collecting funds. I was down there Monday, and noticed little tags hanging from all the parking meters. Of course I had to investigate, and found printed on the cards “any money placed in this meter today will be donated to the March of Dimes.” I was out of town the last few months of 1948 when so much activity was taking place in city council, and I am just beginning to catch up on what went on and what is to take place. I am referring expec- ially to the election which will be held on February 15, at which time, 1 understand, four issues are to be voted on. First will be the division of the city into six wards instead of the present five; (wards to be affected, I believe, are 2 and 3 ) second will concern electing ‘aldermen at large;” and third will be a vote for the city manager form of gov ernment; and last will concern the consolidation of the Com mission of Public Works with the city government. In trying to understand the various issues in volved, I find that electing an alderman at large does not mean that a person in one ward may be a candidate for election in some other ward. For instance, our very efficient alderman in ward 4, Ernest Layton, could not run for the office of Alderman in Ward 2. The candidate must live in the ward which he will represent, but the voters of the city, instead of voting for their one alderman, will vote for all six. I say six, presum ing the vote will be favorable to dividing the city into six wards. , , I also find that a number of people are confused about vot ing for the city manager plan, voted in favor of that.” It is saying, “well, we’ve already true that a vote was taken on that in the summer of 1947, but that vote was merely a “senti ment vote” in a campaign con ducted by the Junior Chamber of Commerce to ascertain the sentiment of the citizens as to the city manager plan. As you may remember, that elec tion proved very favorable to adopting the city manager plan. The election on February 15 will be the official ballot, and if the vote is again favorable, action will be taken, I under stand, to obtain a well quali fied city manager who will handle all administrative duties pertaining to city management. City Registration certificates must be obtained by February 5 in order to vote in the elec tion on the 15th. They may be obtained at the office of the city clerk. It will be neces sary for men of voting age to present county registration cer tificates and 1948 poll tax re ceipts in order to obtain a city certificate. Women need only show the county registration certificate. Before I took up this busi ness of being an official Steno- graph reporter, I was warned “you know, official reporters are considered a peculiar group of people.” I am beginning to understand that, after getting up a couple of times at 5:00 a.m. to get to a hearing, or traveling 250 miles to a hear ing that lasts only an hour. It is this lack of routine that makes the job so interesting. I never know from one day to the next where I’ll be. (But what started this is a story one of the lawyers down in Florence told me, which ex plains why reporters are some time considered a bit “pecu liar.” The lawyer was attend ing a hearing, and the report er on that hearing was from Alabama. . It was a lengthy affair, and instead of transcribing his own notes, the reporter each night dictated the day’s proceedings on to a record, and sent the record back to his home of fice to be transcribed. It seems that my lawyer friend wanted to see the re porter about something, and went up to the floor of the ho tel where the reporter was staying. He didn’t know the room number, so asked the bell boy “Where is Mr. Smith’s room?” The bellhop said “you mean dat crazy man?” “What makes you think he’s crazy? the lawyer asked. The boy re plied “why dat man crazy as he can be. He sit in his room every night and asked him self the fooiishest questions then answers them. He’s just plumb crazy, Cap’n!” DR. kinard to speak AT ST. PHILIPS Dr. James C.
