§• - *
' Washington —As Congress ap
:proaches the task of appropriating
! funds to operate the Federal gov*
ernment for the fiscal year begin
ning in July there is every indica
tion that the President’s budget will
be cut.
Fat
I am not a member of the An
propriations Committee of the Sen
ate, but'my mail from North Caro
lina has been running very heavy
.in recent days in favor of drastic
budget cuts. Experts in the field
•of finance here on Capitol Hill are
'of the firm opinion that there is
}much fat in the President’s $72 bil
lion budget. Just how much fct
is difficult to ascertain, hut I be
' lieve Congress can and will apply
the brakes to the ever increasing
■trend in Federal spending.
Joint Action
That brings me to a discussion
irof a matter which is before Con
'gress that, I most certainly believe,
should receive favorable action. It
is the proposal to create a Joint
Budget Committee to carry on a
full-time study to see where sav
ings can be made in budget propos
als. This is not to imply that such
is not being done at the present,
but I believe that a more effective
: approach can be made by an expert
staff to tackle this vital job. It
;is not possible for each Senator or
Representative to personally screen
the entire budget which is the size
lof a catalog. I have joined with
'Senator McClellan and others in
sponsoring a measure to create a
'Joint Budget Committee to effec
tively approach the problem of the
budget, thus giving Congress work
ing tools.
Defense Cuts
T have been very reluctant to ad
vocate cuts in spending for our na
tional defense. There is so much
duplication of effort in the defense
set-up that the wisdom of a Solo
mon is needed to clarify the picture.
It is my opinion that savings can
be made without injuring the effec
tiveness of our national defense.
Certainly the chunk of the total de
fense dollar allocated for defense is
very large. Savings of a substan
tial nature in that area would help
the budget picture considerably. ,
Summary
To summarize my position on
government spending, let me say
that T will support budget cuts as
vital to our financial welfare as a
country; national defense duplica
tion must be eliminated and sub
stantial savings made, rememher
ing that adequate funds must be
appropriated for necessary defense;
I am convinced that Congress must
organize to approach budget study
ing on a more effective basis; tax
cuts can be made once the national
debt is ip the process of being re
ffiadfe'd'. ■’•'’ '***’■ ! j ,
,Tt will retjqije a staggering
a+noupt* of fdntfi to operate the
Federal government in the years
ahead, but T am not willing to con
cede that the Eisenhower budget is
necessary and practical.

EPILEPTIC MOTHER FINDS GOD’S WAY OUT
In almost every denomination
there are devout ministers who
pray for the sick, and see them
healed.
The Rev. Roland Brown, for
mer pastor of Parkside BapUst
Church In Chicago, enjoys such
a ministry. His work was so
effective and fruitful that he
resigned his pastorate in order
to give full time to this phase
es his ministry.
The following account is about
a victim of that most embarrass
ing disease, epilepsy. I said vic
*tim—l mean victor over epilepsy,
and this came in answer to
prayer and faith.
For 20 years Mrs. -M. G. had
suffered from epileptic seizures;
sometimes several a day. Her
hasband said that in 10 years of
married life, his wife had an
average of at Mast eight epilep
- tic seizures s week.
In church, on the sidewalk, at
home, in stores, Wherever she
was, the attacks took her. She
and her husband had resigned
themselves to s hopeless situa
tion. No matter where they
went, there was always the fear
and dread knowledge that a
seizure was liable at any mo
ment. How tragic! How sad!
But healing services were car
ried on at the Baptist Church
where Mr. Brown was pastor.
People gave In reports and tes
timonies of being healed.
One day Mr*, m. G. came; and
aeked for prayer and timidly as
serted that she believed God
could set her free. An hour of
prayer waa held at her home.
NEWS FOR FRUIT GROWERS
By C. W. OVERMAN, Chowan County Agent
Bunch Grapes: Last chance to
prune. It is the one-year-old woodj
about the size of a lead pencil that
will produce grapes in 1957. Most
grape vines can stand a total of
about 20 buds. These are usually
distributed on four arms. When
these buds break they will produce
new wood that will have blooms and
later produce about three bunches a
year of grapes. Fertilization:
Plants 3 years old need one pound
of 8-8-8; plants 5 years old need
two pounds of 8-8-8; and plants 7
years old and older need three
pounds of 8-8-8. Apply in circle
two to three feet from trunk when
buds begin to swell.
Muscadine Grapes: Varieties
like Scuppernong, Topsail, Hunt,
Thomas, etc., also need pruning.
Many posts and wires holding your
Muscadine grape vine need renew
ing. Attention should he given to
pruning of the numerous arms; cut-,
ting the wood back and thinning it
out so that we can have an abund
ant production in 1957. Fertiliza
tion: Plants 3 years old need one
half pound 8-8-8; plants 5 years old
need one pound 8-8-8: plants 7
years old need two pounds 8-8-8;
plants 9 years old need three
pounds 8-8-8; and plants older than
9 years old need four to six pounds
8-8-8. Apply in circle two to three

i This Baptist preacher declares
i in the book Recovery, by Starr
r Daily:
“I prayed without hesitancy.
■ asking for her complete recov
ery; that God would eliminate
her attacks; that Jesus would
command them even as he had
commanded the unclean spirits.
“Then 1 left a. few suggestions
with her. When she felt an at
tack coming on she was to take
a firm grip on Jesus and to lay
hold on his promises. She was
to allow herself to become in
vaded and filled with his pres
ence so that he could protect
her from the invasion of the on
coming attack.
“The woman, being in great
need, took hold of the process
and put it into practice. At the
end of two months there had
been no further attacks. That
had been the longest free period
in twenty years. Whenever she
felt the attack coming she im
mediately called upon Jesus' to
invade her life instead, and in
each case the onslaught had
been repulsed. Never before bad
she known this experience of
witnessing the arrest of a spell
once it had begun. . . .
“Shortly after this, the family
moved and I lost contact with
them. That was in 1935. In 1940
contact was again resumed and
I learned that the woman had
been completely healed.”

Strawberries
Plants should be set as soon as
possible for harvest in 1958. Have
your plot soil tested for lime, phos
phate and potash. A pH of 5.5-6,
and medium to high phosphate and
potash are ideal. Home Gardeners
—Apply two quarts of 8-8-8 to each
100 feet of row; do this about ten
days before planting. Commercial
Growers—Follow the recommenda
tions in '“Commercial Strawberry
Production in North Carolina”
momeograph. Plant the plants as
scon as the soil is workable be
cause early runner plants produce
the largest crop. When planting
protect the plants until they are
set. Don’t let the roots dry out;
a dry root is usually a dead one.
Cover all roots as you set the
plant; but keep the crown about
the soil level. Don’t set too deep
so that plant smothers.
Strawberries in most of North
Carolina will probably be a scarce
item this year, so plan now to save
all the fruit you can.
Protection for Strawberries;
Burning tires, straw, etc., is almost
a waste of time and material wkan
frost is predicted. Wise planning
and better use of resources can be
more valuable. (1) Select a good

from between the rows and apply
this over the plants. Note: If the

the water running as long as ice is

the plants; if you dofthe bloom will

Picking and Packing Strawber
ries: Berries in pint containers
have sold for almost the same price
as quarts on sortie markets in
North Carolina. The reason for
this is that in a nice pack there is
less chance of damage to the fruit
in the bottom of the container and
a pint is the volume of berries most
customers will buy for table use.
Master Containers: Wood mas
ter market containers holding 24
pints are acceptable. Some grow
ers are also using the flat contain
er which holds 12 pints. The flat
containers can be stacked high at
the farm or the market and usually
all of the fruit looks like the top
layer of the crate when the ber
ries arrive at the markets.
Picking: Picking should be done
every other day or three times a
week. The fruit should be picked
with part of the stem still attach
ed.

Q —l am planning to sell my GI
home and allow the buyer to take

apply to VA for release from lia

or after I sign the sales contract ?
•A—You should apply to VA for
release from liability before you
sign the contract. In that way,
you will know whether the buyer
is eligible to aSsume your liability
before you commit yourself to sell.
