Assemblymen Hear County's Thanks By JIM HAWKINS Staff Writer Guilford County staged its own post legislative love feast last night. Chamber of Commerce directors of High Point and Greensboro hosted the county's 1967 legislative delegation for a mutual admiration affair at Howard Johnson's Restaurant on Interstate-85. Marion Follin, president of the Greensboro a thanked legislators for the sacrifices they made during the months the legislature was in session in Raleigh. ROBERT RAN KIN, president of the High Point Chamber, said board members "are proud of the Guilford delegation in the General Assembly, and of the fine job you did." Rankin suggested that High Point and Greensboro Chamber of Commerce boards should "get together at least once a year" since they "have a lot in William R. Henderson, a member of the High Pomt Chamber of Commerce board and master of ceremonies at last night's dinner, told those attending the purpose of the affair was to i acknowledge the fine job" the Guilford delegation did during the 63rd General Assembly.

Guilford County, he said, "is especially fortunate representatives." in its PRESENT at the event were Senators Ed Kemp of High Point and L. P. McLendon Jr. of Greensboro and House of Representatives members Charles Phillips, James Exum (now a Superior Court judge), Marcus Short and Elton Edwards. Unable to attend were Sen.

John Osteen and Reps. Dan Whitiey of High Point and Hargrove Bowles of Greensboro. Speaking briefly, Sen. Kemp said that "this was the finest delegation Guilford ever had" and that the delegation was "of a collective mind." This county, he said, finally had the voice in government it has long been entitled to, SEN. McLENDON noted the state's "enviable record of good government" and said North Carolina is "beginning to see the transfer of voting power from the East to the Piedmont where it should be." This is where the money comes from and where it ought to go, be said.

Rep. Short said that he was glad to see Greensboro and High Point Chamber of Commerce units working together "because their problems are common problems." Exum, Edwards and Phillips also spoke briefly.

Besides these things, Commissioners spent time hearing complaints on tax valuations and discussed personnel changes and other routine business.

COUNCIL FROM PAGE 1-C a fee to "help defray the mounting expense of this service." Stout said there are now some 380 Dumpster boxes in use. Special equipment is required to pick up the boxes and take them to a dump for emptying. The Council spent some 130,000 on new equipment at today's meeting.

Hifh Point Enfrtrprfst, Thyrt4oy, Sept. 7, W7 11 COMMISSION FROM PAGE 1-C of postal authorities in the Law Building Block as the site for a new post office has accelerated interest in obtaining urban renewal treatment for the proposed new area. it denied that "only a postal facility will be permitted in this block." The statement said, "Under North Carolina law the property in the urban renewal area acquired by the commission must be offered at public sale in open bidding competition except in certain instances where private sales may be negotiated as with i bodies." The statement said that it "is conceivable that the Post Office Department, as a public body, could negotiate a private purchase of the property, but the final approval of any sale must be made by City Council." --Charges of a "land grab" by opponents were denied.

Schoch made the accusation that a scheme was afoot to acquire the Law Building Block for resale to the Southern Furniture Expositon Building. Yesterday's statement said that although the Exposition Building Corp. is a logical prospective buyer of the land, no conditions built into the proposed plan favor this concern. Officials of the Exposition Building have denied having any plans to purchase the land. --To implications that the Redevelopment Commission has not properly accounted for its funds and cannot withstand an audit of its operations, the statement declared that a federal audit of the body's finances had just been completed and declared to be "entirely in good order." The City Council is expected to take prompt action on the proposal once a study of the statement is completed and the position of oprxments has been My considered.

Meeting Slated The Mount Olive Court of Calanthe will meet Friday at 6 D. m. in the Pythian Hall, according to Mrs. Margaret Smith.
