Page 2-B News From The Washington Report ■ By Congressman Walter B. Jones Last week the House voted approval of a bill which authorizes the funding necessary to implement American commitments in support of the ggyptian- Israeli Peace Treaty. The whole pact of military and economic assistance to these two counties totaled $4.8-billion. Military sales account for $3.7-billion, so there is an obligation by Egypt and Israel to repay this amount eventually. While many Congressmen were concerned about the i£gh cost of implementing this peace treaty, others pointed out that in the past the United States has in curred even more expenses as a direct result of wars in the Middle East. Recently, Israel returned to Egypt selected portions of the captured Sinai Penisula according to terms of the Peace Treaty. So, it is heartening that these two former adversaries are living up to the com mitments made to each other and to the United States. - For ALL Your Roofing Needs PERRY 483-8579 EDENTON, N.

J L- I have just become aware of a study conducted and published by the prestigious Wharton School of Economics at the University of Pennsylvania regarding the tobacco industry’s economic contribution to the nation and the various states. This academic in stitution which obviously has no bias regarding tobacco one way or the other, concluded that the tobacco industry’s direct and indirect financial contribution to the nation exceeded S4B-billion in 1977. This represented per cent of the Gross National Product. In North Carolina alone the tobacco industry supported 68,500 workers who earned wages of over $478-million; state and local taxes associated with the tobacco industry in our State exceeded $139-million. As Chairman of the Tobacco Program Information Committee, an informal group of Congressmen from tobacco-producing districts, I am undertaking to distribute these conclusions widely to my colleagues in the House of Represen- tatives. In other action last week the House Appropriations Committee approved the Agricultural Appropriation bill for fiscal year 1980. The fiscal year begins on Oc tober l. The measure authorizes $28.7-billion in loans and appropriations for agriculture-related pro grams. I am delighted to report that all requests for agriculture research, in cluding tobacco research, was approved in this action. The total sum of $28.7- billion is somewhat for a misleading figure because almost $10.5-billion of this is earmarked for domestic food programs, including $6.2-billion for Food Stamps. The casual observer might assume most of the Department of Agriculture budget would be used for direct assistance to farmers and others in the agricultural sector, but this is not the case. This dual jurisdiction of USDA - farm programs and domestic food programs - is politically useful to agriculture proper. Those of us from farming districts can use the Illness Fatal To Bateman Miss Eva Caroline Bateman of Virginia Beach, Va., died May 30 in Bayside Hospital following an extended illness. She was 91. A native of Washington County, Miss Bateman was the daughter of the late Aaron and Claudia Tarkington Bateman. Surviving is a half sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Bunch of Elizabeth City. Miss Bateman was a member of Edenton Baptist Church. Graveside services were held at 11 A.M. Saturday in Beaver Hill Cemetery with Rev. Preston Cayton of ficiating. Williford-Barham Fun eral Home was in charge of arrangements. THE CHOWAN HERALD leverage given to us by USDA jurisdiction of food programs to obtain votes and support for fanning programs from represen tatives from urban and industrial districts. Letter To The Editor This past Sunday mor ning, May 27, my husband and I were traveling toward town on Highway 32. We had just gone over the small bridge before the Carter’s plant when a white Cadillac with orange license plates sped past us. The car con tinued to speed and proceeded to pass two cars at' Carter’s plant on the curve. The Cadillac’s driver obviously ignored the yellow line, the curve, and the many arrows indicating a bad curve. The Cadillac barely made it around the second car, before a car approached in the opposite lane. In fact, my husband and I found it hard to believe that the car approaching was not hit by the Cadillac. The irony of the whole scenario was the car almost hit by the Cadillac was a car of the sheriff’s department. We were glad, because we were certain that the Cadillac . would be pulled over by the law enforcement officer. The officer continued traveling down the road, seemingly oblivious to the speeding Cadillac or the fact that he almost collided with the car. Perhaps the state patrol was called to intercede toward town, I do not know. I certainly hope this incident was not ignored by the of ficer, considering the ex treme danger of the curve and the blatant speeding of the car. If the effort was not made to apprehend the Cadillac, my husband and I are very disappointed with the sheriff’s department in Chowan County in regards to violations of highway safety on the county’s roads. Sincerely, Jane Mabry Williams Tyner Native Taken In Death Albert Vernon Asbell, 63, of Tyner, died Thursday at 2:10 A.M. in Duke Hospital.

Michael Blumenthal recently announced that President Carter has ap proved an increase in the interest rate paid by the government on Series E and H savings bonds. Bonds issued on and after June 1 will receive 6‘6 per cent if held to maturity, which will remain at 5 years for E bonds and 10 years for H bonds. The yield to original maturity is ad justed to 6M> per cent by increasing the rate period during the interest period beginning at 4>/ 2 through five years. The rate increase is, in effect, being paid as a bonus for retaining a Bond for the full five years. The annual interest rate on outstanding E and H bonds and U. S. Savings Notes (Freedom Shares) for the remaining period to their next maturity will also be increased by x k per cent. , I Mi ■r T ill nuiiKuiK.uwfirtfu I ALEXANDER SALKIND presents MARLON BRANDO ■ GENE HACKMAN in a RtCHARD DONNER FILM SUPERMAN CHRISTOPHER REEVE-NED BEATTY-JACKIE COOPER-GLENN FORD-TREVOR HOWARD MARGOT KIDDER • VALERIE PERRINE • MARIA SCHELL-TERENCE STAMP-PHYLLIS THAXTER-SUSANNAH YORK STORYBr MARIO PUZO -screenplayßY MARIO PUZO DAVID NEWMAN LESLIE NEWMAN ano ROBERT BENTON creative consultant TOM MANKIE WICZ • director of photography GEOFFREY UNSWORTH B S C production designer JOHN BARRY- music by JOHN WILLIAMS • executive prooucer ILYA SALKIND produced by PIERRE SPENGLER -directed by RICHARO 00NNER -panavis.on technicolor aw ai cvAwnce Awn HVA cai t/iwn DDfiniimriW I RELEASED BY WARNER BROS O * WA R «R COMMUNICATIONS CCMPANY | Y*ri PifttMTii r.iiinihrp ciiccrmn - ~ ■' 101 Comm? Soon: "FASTBREAK” 11 "CALIFORNIA SUITE" | The improved rate will be effective for bonds and notes which begin a semiannual interest period on and after June 1. The interest rate increase will benefit the holders of about $Bl-billion in out standing savings bonds and notes. No action on their part is necessary to take advantage of the higher rate. The rate on the recently announced Series EE and HH bonds, which will go on sale in January, 1980, will also be increased to 6>/ 2 per cent. The increase in the yield to maturity will be accomplished in the Series EE Bond by shortening its maturity from 11 years, nine months to 11 years. The yield will be slightly more than 6t4 per cent at maturity. To date, details regarding the yield curve on the Series H, EE and HH bonds are not available. THE FULLY DEVOTED CHRISTIAN The fully devoted Christian will always find That by looking ahead and hearing in mind; Always putting God first in whatever we do, Will always bring results and happiness too. Since I have been born of Gods Mercy and love I want to strive harder to please him above; By following him closely and believing his word Is the greatest story man ever heard. So let us live humble and look to God and pray For those who have lived careless and fore- the holy way; Since God convicted me and brought me into the light, We should help to fight the battle for God and the right. My greatest desire is to keep giving Os my best to the master while I am living; And when our time on earth has ended and our life crown won, We can go to be with Jesus his dearly beloved son. The fully devoted Christian will always try to do more To please our redeemer than ever before; For we know not the time When our God shall call, But if we are fully prepared it will be worth it all. When we enter that city there will be no night there No sin to be found but Gods glory we will share; It will be a time of rejoicing for all the pure and blest, And no sad goodbyes but a time of sweet rest.
