»SENATOR r\ A SAM ERVIN iSygl mmmm mmi Washington—One of the most in spiring events I have ever observ ed occurred in the auditorium of the Labor Department here on Tuesday morning of Oast week when President Eisenhower presented the President’s trophy to Sam M. Cath ey, of Asheville, North Carolina, as the ‘‘most distinguished handicap ped person of the year." Sam Cathey Sam Cathey is a remarkable per son. He was accidentally blinded at the age of 20 years. Despite this handicap, he attended the Uni versity of North Carolina, where he made an exemplary record as a student of law. Upon his graduation from law school, Sam Cathey embarked upon the practice, of law at Ashevill°, where his sterling qualities of head and heart soon won for him the post of Judge of the Municipal Court. He still occupies this ju dicial position. During the 24 years of his ser vice on the Municipal Bench, Sam Cathey has demonstrated an un failing capacity to execute justice I in mercy. In addition to perform ing his judicial labors, he has ren dered valiant service to other han dicapped people, particularly the blind. The circumstances under which 1 first met Sam Cathey merit re counting. About thirty years ago, I was sitting beside a friend in a smoker on a train. Sam Cathey entered the smoker, seated himself, and listened to our conversation for about a minute. He then turned to me and said: ‘‘You must he Joe Ervin’s brother. I can tell it by your voice.’ Since that time, I have followed j Sam Cathey’s career with increas ing admiration. Judge Sam Cathey has refused to permit his blindness to be a handicap to him. As a re sult. his life ought to he an in spiration to all of us. Veto The Senate had an exceedingly busy time last week. On Tuesday it voted 54 to 39 to override the President's veto of the Postal Pay Bill. Tile object of the majority was not accomplished, however, be cause the Constitution provides that a twee-thirds vote is necessary to override a Presidential veto. I was one of the 54 who voted to override the veto.

During the past week the Sen ate rejected the Administration’s Highway Bill and passed a substi tute Highway Bill popularly known ■ as the Gore Bill. In my judgment, I the Senate acted wisely in so do -1 ing for two chief reasons. Under the Administration Bill, control ' over interstate highways would have been vested in a new Federal Highway Corporation. Under the Gore Bill, control over such high ways is left with the present road governing authorities. As a con sequence, state highway authorities will continue to have a large voice in the construction of interstate highways. Under the Administra tion Bill, the. bulk of the monies furnished by the Federal Govern ment for the construction of high ways would have been raised by a bond issue, which would have borne interest rates totaling approximate ly 55 per cent over the entire life! of the bonds. Under the Gore Bill, the bulk of the monies furnished by the Federal Government for highway construction will come from current tax revenues. Big- Gains Shown In Income Distribution Close to half of all spending units in the United States had a money income of #4,000 or more a year in 1954, just about double the I proportion in 1947, according to the] i latest Federal Reserve Survey of | Consumer Finances. The most dramatic change occur red in the $5,000 to $7,500 income bracket, which comprised 21 per cent of all spending units last year as Compared with only 9 per cent in 1947. Eleven per cent more had a money income of $7,500 nr more in 1954 against 5 per cent seven years before, while the proportions for the $4,00p-$5.000 bracket were 15 and 10 per cent, respectively. These changes were accompanied by a big drop in the group with in comes under $3,000 a year, where the proportion last year was 37 per cent as compared with 59 per cent in l!l47. Percentagewise, the $3,- 000-$4,£00 income_grouj> has. Ce tmaTned quite stable over the per iod. THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON. NORTH C AROLINA. THURSDAY.

On film or on stage, “hie” is a signal for laughter. But all joking aside, while hiccups may be a nuisance to most people, a serious case may exhaust the pa tient to the point of death. The danger of long-continued hic cups was dramatized for all of us when Pope Pius XII suffered a series of attacks which endanger ed his life. Cases have been re corded which lasted as long as nine months. Drugs, inhalations, and even surgery have been used in the past to control hiccups. A new drug, chlorpromazine, seems to promise good results in most diffi cult cases. Hiccup is due to a spasm of the diaphragm, resulting from an irri tation of the nerve pathways. The irritation may have a simple cause, such as overeating or drinking or even a fit of laughter. When hic cups come from simple causes, they may also be caused by a disease or toxic condition. Hiccups may make it difficult to treat the di sease which caused the spasm in the first place. In some cases, it may be necessary to block or crush the phrenic nerve which controls the diaphragm. It isn't enough to stop the hic cups. The cause must be found nnd eliminated, or they will return. ©*®/ PALMOLIVE h/7 Rio. 79*stzs fan *] >|sß y Alut j P & Q SUPER MARKET Ketlhtf la^ Ot/nugm II mt * (am CASCADE s MO. A.

If hiccups continue for more than a day, it is wise to consult the doctor. Why suffer unnecessarily when the doc tor can stop the spasms and then j get at the cause ?

The third, for three hours, and so on until it would live in the air for a day at a time.
