Guilford Commission to hold Dec 19 sign ordinance hearing
Guilford County Commissioners voted to hold a public hearing December 19 on a proposed new sign ordinance. The Ad Hoc Sign Committee drafted the plan after the Planning Board delayed action, with critics arguing the process favored individuals over the public. The measure covers setbacks, height, interstate signs, and a grandfather clause allowing existing signs to remain.

AFL-CIO Pledges Support for North Carolina Furniture Unions
AFL-CIO pledges support to organize North Carolina furniture workers amid a growing campaign in Guilford and surrounding counties. Wilbur Hobby says national union aid will include manpower and money to help organizers, handbills, meetings, and housing calls as wages and benefits drive interest. North Carolina, with 164 Guilford County plants and about 600 statewide, remains the least unionized state, though inflation and benefit gaps push workers toward organizing efforts.

In Bridge World, Oswald and James Jacoby explain that a clever declarer must give the cards a chance.
