president, vice-president, secre
tary, treasurer, and reporter;
also several project leaders.
Just a word about iwhat Home
Demonstration woric has done for
me. As a homemaker and man

many short cuts in doing such]
work as cooking, cleaning, freez
ing, sewing and canning. We get
so many good recipes and free
materials such as pamphlets on
growing rases, care of clothes,
living with others, quick and easy
meals, care and use of small
appliances, making housekeeping
easy and many others.
These pamphlets are free to the
public by request, or go by the
home agent's office and select the
ones you want.

JOHNSON AND 1964

inconceivable" that Vice Presi
dent Johnson will be dumped
from the 1904 Democratic tic

Humphrey said that all specu

possible substitute for Johnson
as President Kennedy's running
mate are unwarranted.

Airport
(Continued from page one)
Boone, Rt. 2, was elected vice
chairman, Clyde R. Greene
elected secretary, and G rover
C. Robbins of Blowing Rock
elected treasurer. Other mem
bers of the Commission include
Barnard Dougherty, Vice-Presi
dent of Appalachian State
Teachers College in Boone.
There is at present one va
cancy in the Watauga Airport
Commission, created b ythe re
signation of Joe Worth, who is
moving out of the county.
The Watauga Airport Com
mission was created by a 1961
act of the State Legislature,
which was introduced by Sena
tor Gordon Winkler. The act
empowers Boone, Blowing Rock,
and Watauga County to jointly
establish and maintain an air
port. The governing bodies of
Boone and Blowing Rock were
empowered to appoint two
members each . to the Commis
sion, as was the County.
Mr. Bell, of the FAA, was in
Boone not only to check the
proposed site, but also to make
suggestions to the Commission
as to the proper procedures for
letting of contracts for the con
struction of the airport facili
ties, Greene said. Bell will work
with the Commission frequent
ly during the coming months,
aiding and advising in the fur
ther operations of the Commis
sion in carrying out the huge
project.
There is more to being a
good teacher than knowing

not money.

Washington Report
Br CONGRESSMAN
JAMES T. BROYH1LL
Presidential Transition
Presidential elections are held
in November, and our Presidents
are inaugurated in January. Al
though in a technical sense, the
actual election does not take
place until December when the
Electoral College votes, there has
been little suspense about the re
sult of Electoral College balloting.
Whether we accept the Novem
ber or December date, the prob
lems confronting a new adminis
tration taking over the steward
ship of government are very
great. By their very nature, those
problems will remain great, but
legislation to provide services
and facilities to a President
elect is now in its last stages of
consideration by the Congress.
Concern has grown over tlie
make - shift arrangements that
have been necessary during
Presidential transitions in the
past. Temporary offioe space has
been obtained privately and
scattered through the city. Costs
have been borne by the national
committee of the newly - elected
President's political party. In
1952 and 1960, outgoing Presi
dents have cooperated with new
administrations to ease the bur
den of transition as the reins of
government were being changed.
However, legal limitations have
prevented furnishing physical ac
commodations and work space re
quired. Similarly, the reasonable
and temporary needs of e retir
ing Presidential Admmtotration
hive not been recognized.
'When we consider (he im
mensity that a change in leader
ship involves, it is certainty in
the interest of the American peo
ple (hat the tronsttian be accom
plished in an orderly process.
With that in mind, the differences
in the details of simitar bills
passed by the House and Senate
are now being worked out
Foreign Aid
Deep misgivings about the for
eign aid program have locked the
Senate in debate for several
weeks, assuring that this ques
tion will also dominate the re
maining weeks of this year.
Earlier, the (House passed the
authorization legislation, cutting
the President's request from M.5
billion in this fiaoal year lO ftp-,
proximately $35 billion. It was
thought then that the Senate
would attempt to restore many of
the cuts made by the House. Cer
tainly, it is gratifying that this
program which has been so shot
{till of waste, poor administra
tion, and plain bad judgment is
coning in for closer scrutiny in
the Senate, also, and that even
its strongest supporters there
make little effort to defend much
of its very questionable record.
When the dust settles, it is
piain now that the amount of
money authorized in the Senate

bill will be modi closer to (he
House version than to the Presi
dent's request.
Provision of funds will come
later to appropriation legislation.
Thta, however, arwaits passage of
the authorization bill. However,
the earty December target date
for starting Mouse consideration
of the foreign aid money bill may
be pushed back if the present
Seaate debate continues much
longer. Even bo, unless there is
? reversal in the mood of Con
gress, the funds actually granted
for foreign aid this year will be
slashed again, reflecting the na
tional dissatisfaction with this
oostfy program which the Ameri
can people have borne patiently
for so long.
