FYiday, July 25, 1969 THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C. Page Seven Washington Report — By — CONGRESSMAN WALTER B. JONES t«ast weuK the main Interest In Washington was the Apollo 11 trip to the moon Many mem bers of Congress accepted the Invitation of NASA tofly toCape Kennedy and witness this his toric event. Congressional du- Ues prevented me from accep ting this Invitation. Of Inters! to our First Con gressional OlstrlctwasaHouse auUiorlzatlon for the Applac- hlan and Regional Action Plan ning Commission directly af fecting every county In our dis trict. This authorization provides for $225 million for projects, with the provision that not less than 10% or more than 30% can be allocated to any one For economy heat with oil maximum hoot for your monoy V. » t' • -• 1» r > .

The Senate has a similar au thorization which provides a larger amount—included would be $20 million for the Coastal Plains Regional Development for the purpose of constructing highways. This is an authorization for the fiscal year 1970-71 and not an appropriation. Later, the Appropriations Committees and the Congress itself must ap prove the funding of this autho rization. Within a few days, I Intend to Join with other members of the house of Representatives in introducing a bill to provide extended benefits to law en forcement officers and firemen not employed by the United States who are killed or totally disabled in the line of duty. In a period of five years, between 1962 and 1967, there were 559 policemen who died in the line of duty In the United States, and In a similar period of time 239 firemen died in the line of duty. Since crime cannot be con tained within state boundaries, I think It appropriate that the Federal Government provide all protection possible to the fami lies of these menwho from time to time are subject to dangers. Certainly, to a family of an officer who Is killed or dis abled It makes little differ ence whether the criminal is a native North Carolinian or a citizen of Chicago or San Fran cisco. So, responsibility, to some degree, Is a federal matter. This bill will provide that a wi dow without dependents receive 45% of the monthly wage rate until she remarries. It further provides that a wi dow with dependents will re ceive 40%, and each child under 18 will get 15%, up to a max- Imiun of 75% of the monthly sa lary, until a child reaches the age of 18. In case of disability without dependents, the benefits will equal two-thirds of the monthly salary. I hope, If this legislation is enacted, that it will encourage young men to enter the all- Imnortant field of law enforce ment. To say the least, the Job of law enforcement is becoming more complicated wd carries a greater responsibility each day; and this is one way In which the Federal Government can say to the career police men and firemen, "Thank you for the Job you are doing.” I intend to support this legislation vigorously, JustasI did in supporting the North lOarolinav Bremen's Pension FUnd and balling the personal honor - 'ot ct-^&ting the North Gatolina' PpUceiften'S:; Volun teer ,i>biision ASSoolailoh while I was. a niember of ttie^tate Iiogislature.; -f- Last week I had the pie^ure of inspecting parts of the Out- ' er Banks and certain areas of Hyde County in the company of Interior Secretary Walter J.

Let Us Say It For You. EMMIE'S FLOWER SHOP 333 Middle St. Dial 637-3768 A father Is being his biggest and best self -when he does things, such as helping a child to walk or teaching a child to read, believes Leo F. Hawkins, extension family relations specialist. North CaroUnaState University. For as a father takes time to do these things, he is taking the ideals of his own Ufe and the culture of his own generation and investing these In the future of humanity, the specialist ob serves. The experiences of teaching children helps a father to move toward adult maturity, Hawkins notes. For the father becomes Interested in everything that his generation can pass on to the next. Industrial products. Ideas and works of art are all part of his life that he wants to pass on to his child and to other children. This desire helps him develop a deep sense of caring for his and for all children. This type father becomes in terested in schools, social problems and politics because all these will be handed on In the future. Many wise fathers also study their religious faith. They feel the next generation will need spiritual and moral guidance. Through the teaching of chil dren, fathers invest themselves in humanity, Hawkins asserts. They become providers, but not Just to fill ,-stomachs. A good father want's to assure life to those who will gp*ow nearer to being com.plete human beings. A good father,Hawkins notes, is a protector, but hot Just ,to keep himself and his family from physical danger. Such a father wants to give the next generation a better chance than he himself had; He wants youth to learn the truth and guidance he has been able to give. But the matiu'e father ^so allows his children with the potential of this area as well as becoming aware of the problems that must be sol ved. if we are to expand our, recreational and economic fa- Qilitles to their maximum ca pacity. to test those ideas, and to change them to fit their gener ation, Hawkins states.
