Congressman Walter B. Jones
As usual, the Congress in
snaking appropriations for
fiscal year ‘B3, which ends on
September 30, failed to ap
propriate sufficient sums of
money for several programs
which Congress is required by
law to fund properly; these
are commonly referred to as
entitlements. I have long felt
that legislation which is con
sidered entitlement money is
one of the contributors to the
hugh deficit which we now
face. In the supplemental bill
was the amount of $l billion,
38 million for the Food Stamp
Program. This is in addition
to what has previously been
appropriated, and this hugh
sum will only support the
Food Stamp Program
through September 30. Due to
the large number of
unemployed, the supplemen
tal legislation appropriated
$615 million for the unemploy
ment insurance program.
Due to the cost-of-living pro
visions, the Civil Service
retirement fund will receive
an additional $342 million.
Among other items in the sup
plemental appropriation was
an additional $1 billion, 61
million for Agriculture, but
many people fail to realize
that of this, $1 billion, 38
million goes for Food Stamps
which is charged to the United
States Department of
Agriculture. So, to the critics
of our agricultural programs,
we often have to remind them
that a far greater amount is
appropriated for food stamps
than for direct agricultural
programs. The entire sup
plemental appropriation
came to $4 billion, 819 million.
During the week, both the
House and Senate approved a
bill to provide for the obliga
tion and expenditure of fiscal
1983 funds appropriated in PL
97-377 for MX missile procure
ment and full-scale engineer
ing development of a basing
mode for the MX missile. Far
ltwnjr months President
Reagan has attempted to get
Congress to approve the
above legislation providing
for MX missiles. As a result of
the Congress’ failure to agree
with the President, the
Scowcroft Commission was
appointed, and endorsed a
bipartisan and interdepen
dent recommendation of
modernization, deterrence
and arms control, suggesting
that legislation similar to that
which was passed, be
enacted. This does not
necessarily mean that the
missiles will be built im
mediately, but the President
insisted that in any nuclear
disarmnament agreement
with the Russians, he was in
a much better position to deal
from strength rather than
weakness.
The House approved
legislation known as the
Veterans Housing Benefits
Act of 1983. Many veterans
find themselves among the
unemployed through no fault
of their own, and their homes
are being financed by the
Veterans Administration.
This bill would permit the
veterans of their surviving
spouses to refinance delin
quent home loans. As you
may recall, similar legisla
tion was enacted some weeks
back permitting certain farm
loans to be refinanced rather
than foreclosed.
Also, the House authorized
sl6 million for fiscal year ‘B3
to provide for the so-called
“Meals on Wheels” program
under the Older Americans
In Who’s Who

.in American Vniversjtias and

Elizabeth City State Universi
ty are pleased to announce
that the 1983 edition of WHO’s

Jo Ann White, daughter of
Mrs. Mary E. White, who has
been selected as being among

mittees and editors of the an

munity, leadership in ex

Section B
Act. The title, Meals on
Wheels, is slightly
misleading, as only 10% of the
food recipients are served in
their homes; the other eligible
citizens generally meet at a
central location. In addition to
providing food, it offers some
degree of companionship.
When Alaska became a part
of the United States, it includ
ed the Pribilof Islands, which
are isolated islands north of
Alaska, and their main source
of income has been the
harvesting of fur seals. A bill
was referred to my Commit
tee, and promptly reported
out, to make the Pribilof
Islands less dependent on
American aid by granting
them a sum of S2O-million
which would be a once and for
all payment to them. These
funds must be administered
by a Commission in an effort
to make the Pribilof Islands
self-supporting in other ac
tivities rather than the com
plete elimination of the fur
seal supply. The records show
that this Nation has been sen
ding in various forms of
assistance and aid between $6
and $7 million each year. So,
the majority of the House and
myself found it sound
economy to pay cash once and
for all, and stop this annual
payment. It is estimated that
this Act alone will ultimately
save approximately $5.8
million per year.

Social Security: Survivor’s Benefits
By Lee E. WalUo
Field Representative
Several surveys taken in re
cent years show that a
substantial number of people
were not aware that Social
Security pays benefits to sur
vivors of workers who have
died.
Many people still think of
Social Security as just a
retirement program.
In fact, about 3000 people in
the Albemarle area receive
benefits as survivors of
deceased workers.
Survivors that can be eligi
ble for benefits are:
* Unmarried children under
age 18, or ages 18-19 if full
time high school students, or
over age 18 if disabled before
Program Is Offered
Students who have com
pleted the third through the
sixth grades can participate
in a two-week enrichment
program, “Summer College
for Kids,” sponsored by Col
lege of the Albemarle. The
program will be held from 1
P.M. until 3 P.M. each day
from July 5 through July 14 on
the Elizabeth City campus.
The two-hour, afternoon
sessions have proved popular
during the past two summers,
according to Gate Aydlett,
SCK coordinator. She said
that previously enrollment
has been open only to gifted
and talented students. This
year, however, any student
who attends any of the
elementary schools in the col
lege’s seven-county service
area can enroll in the summer
program.
age 22.
* A mother or father of any
age who is caring for an entitl
ed child under age 16 or
disabled.
* A widow or widower ages
50-60 who is disabled.
* A widow or widower age
60 or older.
* The worker’s parent age
62 or older if the worker pro
vided at least 50 per cent of
the parent’s support.
Before any survivor
benefits can be paid, the
worker must have had enough
credit for work covered by
Social Security to be insured.
The amount of work credit
required ranges from 1%
years to 8 years, depending on
the worker’s age at death.
Each principal has receiv
ed a supply of descriptive
brochures that explain the
content of the six courses to
be taught. A registration form
is printed on the back.
Aydlett said interested
students who do not get a
brochure at school, can pick
one up at the COA reception
desk located in the lobby of
Building A at the North Road
Street campus.
Registration for the six,
hands-on courses that focous
on mathematics, technology,
and science will be on a “first
come, first-served” basis.
Each class will have a max
imum enrollment of 20
students.
Registration will be held at
the college on June 27 and 28
from 12 o’clock noon unitl 6
P.M. The fee for each course
is $25.
Benefits can be paid on the
Social Security record of a
deceased mother as well as a
father if the mother was in
sured at death, even if she had
not worked in recent years.
More information about
Social Security survivor
benefits can be obtained by
calling the Elizabeth Gty
Social Security office at
338-2161.
