                      LOCAL  GOVERNMENT - 1971

              The government of the town of Kernersville is  basic-
        ally  the  same  as  when  the  town  was  incorporated.  The
        mayor  and  board  of  aldermen  are  elected  in  a  non-
        partisan  election  every  two  years.  Kernersville  has
        probably  the  fastest  change  over  of  government  in  the
        state.  The  election  is  held  on  the  first  Tuesday  in  May
        and  that  night  the  town  board  meets  and  all  winners
        are  sworn  in  the  day  they  are  elected.
              Kernersville  now  has  a  city-manager  form  of  gov-
        ernment.  The  town  employs  48  full  time  people  plus
        volunteer  firemen.
