Taylor has announced that he will vote to override President Nixon's veto of the bill he co sponsored to limit the powers of a President to make war without the express consent of Congress. The House is scheduled to vote on the matter on Wed nesday, November 7. "I consponsored this legislation because I feel strongly that the United States should not be taken into any war except a purely defen sive action unless the action has been expressly authorized by Congress," said Taylor, who serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. The vetoed bill, known as the War Powers Resolution, requires efforts to consult with SCS Support Pledged To Sedimentation Control Noting that the North Carolina General Assembly has enacted a law to protect water from pollution caused by sediment, the Soil Con servation Service today plafoed its full support to the Sediment Control Board and local governmental officials in carrying out the sedimen tation program. State Conservationist Jesse 1.. Hicks of Raleigh, who heads SCS in North Carolina, said today: "We feel very fortunate that we have well qualified people in every part of North Carolina to assist this excellent effort with our technical expertise. SCS has been working to control sedimentation and related pollution for many years, and we think this forward-looking legislation will help make North Carolina an even better place in which to live " The legislation is aimed at controlling sediment from urban construction, removal or shifting of soil, and similar projects. Mr. Hicks noted that the 11 member Sedimentation Control Board will have a member of the North Carolina Soil and Water Conservation Committee and that the law calls for erosion and sediment control to be submitted to the local sod and water con servation district for review before final plans are ap proved.

If Congress does not expressly authorize the commitment, the President must withdraw the troops within 60 days. The bill passed the Senate by a vote of 75 to 20, the House by 238 to 123, but was vetoed by President Nixon on October 24. Rep. Taylor said he will vote to override because he feels the legislation "is in line with the Constitution which em powers Congress to declare war and empowers the President to respond to sudden attacks and to conduct the war once it has been authorized by Congress." Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts took a keen interest in this bill, and testified before legislative committees to provide our lawmakers additional in v formation, on; jts scope and purpose," Mr. Hicks com mented. "SCS is, of course, not a regulatory agency. But we can provide useful technical in formation and assistance to make this new law effective," he concluded.

The Consumer Protection Division has delivered an estimated 90,000 booklets to "Clerks of Superior Court throughout the state ex plaining how magistrate's courts may be used to settle small claims. . "Thii type of distribution should call attention to the fact that the booklets are availableand that they are in the clerks' offices. We hope ' every North Carolina con sumer and business operator will know abut the booklet by tomorrow," said Assistant Attorney General Eugene Hafer of the Consumer Protection Division. The booklets, "How to Use the Magistrate's Court of Resolve Small Claims", were distributed by some 18 em ployes of the Division Thur sday and Friday. Attorney General Robert Morgan, who created the Division in 1969, said, "The Magistrate's Court Is the people's court. It is provided as a service of state govern ment, for the use of citizens who wish to have small claims and disputes resolved in WHAT'S A WARRANTY, ANYWAY? If you're one of those people who doesn't know the difference between a warranty and a guarantee, don't feel alone; you're in the same semantically confusing boat as a lot of other people. To de-confuse Ihe issue, the first thing you should know is that a warranty and a guarantee are the same thing so, if you got a warranty on your TV set and your next door neighbor got a guarantee on his, don't let him tell you he got a better deal. (Unless, of course, be got better pro tect ive trnns than you.) The ncxl t hing you should know is that not all warranties for similar products and serv ices are the same. As a matter of fact, some of them are so different ( hat . unless you shop for the most favorable terms, you can wind up with little or no protection at all. Take television sets, for example. MiJre than oijeer son have heen both econDrrn cally and emotionally disap (xnnted to d iscover, when t heir sets needed service, that their protective coverage w;ls a lot less than lht thought it was Labor costs, lor example, might no! have been included ill the wa rrant Then, too, a lol of people run into trouble because Ihey buy cheaply made "bargain" sets with brand names Ihey never beard ot before Many ol these sels can present proh Icrns when it conies lo service For inst-anres, heir parts arc ufli'ii difficult or miMssihle to replace ol I he mt ici lec h nician ma be l lhan in lerestfd m r,'Morniy them All this le.ncs Mr anil Mis Consumer hih ami dr As a rule, however, well established ma I in f.ict urcrs of quality products t;iw war ranties that are both ethically and reasonably protective They do this (or the simple reason lhal I lie I r products ale reliable and Ihey viand behind I hem i keeneye's tips ON SHOOTING Wear red or HEARING k T 4 : 1 VSUr... 1 Distributed as a public wr, by N.lwn.l R,fi- a.

Morgan said, "Many North Carolinians occasionally find themselves involved in disagreement with another citizen. Often, the matter cannot be resolved -easily. Each has a point view, .possibly regarding money owed by one to the other, and the positions art clearly in conflict. There may be a - matter of principle Involved, as well as something of value." ; X'f The booklet is designed to help North Carolinians use the Magistrate's Court and to increase the confidence citizens have in the Justice system. P'-'" Magistrates are authorised to handle consumer claims involving $300 or less. ' The 17-page booklet, in cludes sections on types of claims handled ' by magistrates and the Steps in filing for hearings.' It also gives examples of various types of claims suitable for hearing before a magistrate. This is the first consumer awareness program of its kind in North Carolina.
