is a great tradition in this State, and he has a very im-

|
2
|
portant function, I think. When I entertained the Queen

|

|
of England, when I entertained the Queen Mother of Eng-
|
|
4
|
land and the King and Queen of Greece, it is awfully nice
|
|

|
to have the Adjutant General there. It is my feeling that
|
|

we don't have enough ceremonial traditions in our democra-

|

|
cy, ond I think we should have it, I like the color.

JUDGE ADKINS: Governor, I should like to ask
|
|
9
|
you a question relating to the activity of another com-
|
|
10
|
mittee. There is some discussion going on at the Local
|
|
11
|
Government Committee of this Commission relative to the
|
|
12
|
abolition of counties and the caking of a provision for the
|
|
13
|
creation of regional districts.
|
|
14
|
Would you have any -- with that little bit of
|
|
15
|
background, would you have any comment to moke?
|
|
16
|
It obviously, of course, is an attempt to meet
|
|
17
|
the problems you are experiencing both here and in Metro-
|
|
18
|
politan Washington with the overlapping of governmental
|
|
19
|
functions within county lines, and there is some discussion
|
|
20
|
going on as to whether or not we should provide in the Con-
|
|
21
|
stitution either for an abolishment of the existing county
