In the first game, the score was dead even at halftime before Wallace Holley got on track to scorch the Cowboys defense for two touchdowns and an extra point conversion. Holley’s scores came on runs of 70 and 5 yards. Derrick Felton added a 7 yard run to aid in Fisher’s victory. Fisher upped their record to 2-1 while the Cowboys fell to 0-3. In the second game, the Eagles scored in every quarter on the rushing strength of Herbert Mc- Pherson and Robert Granby. McPherson cruised for touchdown runs of 30, 20, and 3 yards.

Saturday’s midget game saw another close match-up as TG&Y tangled with Seabrook for the battle of the undefeated. The game turned into a defensive struggle as neither team would allow the other to score. Finally, Carol Bunch blistered a shot past the Seabrook goalie and TG&Y secured a 1-0 victory.

The Washington Report As most everyone knows, the Congress went into recess on Friday, October 1 and is scheduled to return on November 29. As always, the days toward the end of a session are usually rather frantic and hurried. I would be the first to admit that this has not been a very productive session in that at the time of the recess only two appropriation bills had been passed and signed into law, with twelve major appropriation bills remaining to be enacted. I am sure most of you are familiar with what is known as a “Continuing Resolution,” which means that the various Depart ments will be funded at last State Fair Continued From Page 2-A Drawings will be held daily for items such as Outdoors, North Carolina tee shirts, special animal prints of wildlife scenes and African animals, and other items.

Supposedly, that is why the Congress is being asked to return on November 29 to complete action on these remaining bills. Perhaps the highlight of the closing days was the controversial vote on a Constitutional Amendment to require a balanced budget. Several efforts had been made in recent months to submit this Constitutional Amendment. The House Judiciary Committee, which has jurisdiction over this matter, refused to report out the bill. So, as a result, the procedure of signing a Discharge Petition requiring a majority of the Members, was pursued, and on Thursday, September 30, the necessary number of names was secured in order to bring the bill to the Floor for action, thereby bypassing the Judiciary Committee. I signed the Petition because I thought it only fair that the Members of the House have the op portunity to express their convictions on a Con stitutional Amendment. So, on Friday, October 1, the Const Rational Amendment requiring a balanced budget was considered. The first approach was offered by the Democratic leadership, which, without going into too much detail, would not have been as restrictive in im posing a balanced budget as the Administration’s ver sion. This substitute was soundly defeated, and then the question was on the adoption of the Ad ministration’s version of the Constitutional Amendment on a balanced budget. All Constitutional Amendments must receive a two-thirds vote of those present and voting rather than a majority vote, to be ap proved. The vote was 236 to 187. This shows a majority, but was quite short of the two-thirds required. With a strong belief that a balanced budget would be fiscally helpful to our economy, I voted yes on both versions. No doubt this was an ex treme disappointmtnt to President Reagan, for immediately following the necessary number of signatures for the Discharge Petition, the President came to Capitol Hill, and at a reception, thanked each and every Member who had voted for the Discharge. Os importance to many of our coastal residents is that the House and Senate both passed the Barrier Island bill.

This office was successful in having removed several plots of land in the First District from the coverage as proposed by the Department of Interior proviously. The final day of October 1 was most lengthy inasmuch as the House convened at 10 A.M. and adjourned at approximately 2:30 A.M. the following morning. Inasmuch as the Congress will not be in session until November 29, we will suspend this reporting of legislative activities until that time. Tuesday, November 29, Election Day, is a most important day. Regardless of the can didates of your choice, please remember to exercise your right to vote. -Htuilneii £aLa!" TUPiirn TMliflrU.

Brande, director of the Labor Market Information Division of the North Carolina Employment Security Commission (ESC). The county rates reflect the decrease in statewide unemployment which dropped from 9.8 per cent in July to 9.0 per cent in Auguust. The national unadjusted rate in August was 9.6 per cent. The statewide unemployment rate equaled the national unadjusted rate of 9.8 per cent in July. Brande said, “We at tribute the decreases in unemployment rates to the fact that in August a large number of workers returned to jobs after temporary layoffs. As an example, Cabarrus County’s unem ployment rate was 6.7 per cent in June. In July the rate rose to 29.9 per cent as a result of a mass temporary layoff by a major manufacturer, and in August the rate dropped to 9.7 per cent as many people went back to work.” Forty - nine counties recorded double - digit unemployment. Graham County with a rate of 32.1, up from 12.2 in July, presented the largest increase. The Graham labor force was 4,270 of which 1,370 were unemployed. Cherokee County was next highest with a rate of 19.1 per cent, Swain County at 16.0 per cent followed in the top five counties with highest unemployment. The largest decrease in unemployment was ex perienced by Cabarrus County which fell from 29.9 per cent in July to 9.7 per cent in August. The return to work of temporarily laid off workers is considered to be the major factor in this situation. Counties with the state’s lowest unemployment were Dare (3.7 per cent), Orange (3.8 per cent), Alleghany (3.9 per cent), Currituck (4.2 per cent), Wake (4.4 per cent), and Durham (4.7 per cent). Unemployment increased in three of the state’s ten standard metropolitan statistical areas (SMSAs). Five SMSAs decreased, and two remained the same. The Greensboro - Winston - Salem - High Point area increased from 8.0 per cent to 10.0 per cent; Wilmington from 10.3 per cent to 10.6 per cent. SMSAs which decreased were: Burlington from 12.6 per cent in July to 11.0 per cent in August; Charlotte - Gastonia down from 7.6 per cent to 7.4 per Colonial Clrimnep &toeep Cold weather is coming.. .and your chimney still hasn't been checked or cleaned of Creosote Build-Up yet! f You'll be lighting that first fire in your fireplace or woodstove soon, so, why not make an appointment today?
