On my return by j plane we ran into bad weather | about Richmond, and by the time' I we got to Washington, the weather j was very bad. I stepped otT of the; i plane and it was snowing pretty , hard. When 1 left Raleigh only an | hour before, it was sunshiny and ! the birds were singing! , ANDERSON AMENDMENT 1 had to return to vote on the Anderson Amendment to join Alas ka for eonsideration along with Hawaii for Statehood. 1 voted for this measure. It passed the Senate by a close vote. 46-43. FOOD FOR NEEDY I joined with Senator Kerr of Oklahoma in the co-sponsorship of Senate Rill 3092 to provide supple mentary benefits for recipients of public assistance under Social Se curity Act programs through the is suance of certificates to he used in the acquisition of surplus agri cultural food products. PER POSE OF BILL S. 3fi92 has two purposes, The first is to provide supplemental benefits for individuals receiving assistance under the programs of old-age assistance, aid to depend ent children, aid to the blind, and aid to the permanently and total ly disabled, as provided for in Titles I IV. X and XVI of the So cial Security Aot The second is to provide for Increased domestic consumption of surplus agricultur al food products by establishing a program whereby the jnonthly benefit payments of such individu als will be supplemented by the is suance of $10.00 in certificates whleh may be transferred to retail food pruduets dealers in exchange for surplus agricultural food pro ; duets at prevailing market prices This impressed nte so much as be ing a practical, sensible and hu mane approach thai I had to stand on my feet in the Senate and say something about It. It touches the economic needs of our people and the need to -tabilijic farm prices. WHY THIS BILL? This cxlra monthly $10 00 to i thi> individuals I have already men tioned will be a Clod-send to them. Today we have a strange condi tion in our country Many of our citizens do not have enough food to eat. Yet there is a surplus of food whleh threatens to drive farm prices lower and undermine our whole economy. The cost of living is high. This hill, if passed, would help melt awav the government surpluses of food by seeing lo it that it gels into the hands of needy and deserving people of our coun try. It would prevent this food from being shipped to Russia, or other plans, as some have suggest ed. We have the surplus of food. The Federal government already owns it. if additional aid is to be given to people on needy roles, then it seems practical to do it this way. It will serve a human need and it will help to keen our farm prices at a level where the farmers of North Carolina can make a liv ing. 1 am for helping folks who are in need and doing away with aid to people who are able to work and earn a living but are too lazy to do It. HISTORY We bad a letter from Statesville this week which contained an in teresting fact. It said that Iredell County touched more counties; than any other county in the Uni ted States. It pot me to thinking about the counties that Iredell ad joins. so I checked the big North Carolina map in the office. They are Rowan, Cabarrus, Mecklen burg. Lincoln. Catawba. Alexander,] Wilkes. Kadkin and Davie?nine counties! That must he th? record* If anybody knows differently, I'd like to hear about it XHIS-AND-THAT It was my pleasure to insert pr C. C. Crittenden's splendid article about the Rattle of Moore's Creek Bridge in the Congressional Rec ord this week. It was the first article I have inserted, so 1 Was particularly pleased about il he cause so many of us are anxious lo see Moore's Creek National Mili tary Park retained by the Nation al Park Service and its importance stressed to the world We got a new hatch ,<>f gallery passes to (he Senate The rules formerly permitted the name of Senators to he printed on the card. Now tach card has to be signed by the Senator issuing it. including the name of the person to whom it is issued and the date. This all came about as a result of the tragic | shooting In the House recently , , .

South Clyde CDP To Meet Monday To Plan Supper By MBS KYLE LINDSEy Community Reporter The South Clyde CDP will have their regular meeting Monday 'light, March 22, at the community center, and everyone is urged to attend. The women are making plans for their supper the 27th of this month. The WSCS of Loufta Chapel will meet at the home of Mrs. Robert! | N'orris for an afternoon meeting. The Wesleyan Methodist Church had visitors last Sunday from j | Central College of South Carolina, and one of the guests preached in Rev. George's place Sunday night. A group of high school students from Clyde School took a day off with two ol their teachers, Mrs Soisbee and Miss Green, to visit the various public services in Asheville including the Fire De partment, Police Department. H'WN'C radio station, the Wolfe Memorial Building. Following lunch they toured the Biitmore Estate. Those in the group were Ned indsey, Iva Ann and Sue Lindscy, Shirley Putnam and Shir ley Rhodarmer. Mrs. Robert Lindsey, who has been a patient at Mission Memorial Hospital, is now at home. Mr. and Mrs. Van Deaver and I daughter. Iv% Ann, visited relatives in Franklin this past weekend. Mr. and Mrs. Jim Chambers have gone to California to meet their son Harold who is in the Air Force He has been overseas for quite a while. I - ' Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Rogers are remodeling their home with as bestos shingles and a new roof They are also painting the inside. everything else and he told the Congressman to go find his own booth-?-"till? one is initio!" muusuiti ui naywiwu tuumjr will be covered next week in the Ked Cross drive, it was announced by James G. McKinley and Clyde 'Dutch* Fisher, chairmen for in dustry. It was hoped by Ked Cross officials that collections from in dustry would account for close to 50 per cent at the total campaign goal of $5,000. Other committee heads reported their progress to campaign chair men E. A. Williamson and Miss Louise Ballard at a meeting early this week. Charles Balentine, business chairman for Hazelwood. said that about 90 per cent of his "clients" had been contacted and that "1 feel my end of the drive is going fine. The businesses of Hazelwood seem to realize what the Red Cross means to our community and are willing to do their part. Most everybody has contributed some thing and that's very encouraging." Mrs. A. R. Riegg whose commit tee consisting of Mrs. J. E. Fender snd Mrs. Glenn Brown, is calling on the professional men in this area stated that contributions had been most generous and that every one of the 25 doctors, veterinarians, dentists and lawyers had donated or pledged to do so. Roy Parkman, heading the Way nesville business committee, an nounced almost 90 per cent cover age of his territory but said that donations had been somewhat dis appointing, far below the pro portionate quota expected from this group. There has been 100 per cent par ticipation in the drive by Hazel wood Elementary School teachers, according to Carl Ratcliffe, princi pal. Residential Areas Lag Campaign officials were consid erably concerned over the fact that only about one-fourth of all 40 residential workers had reported their gains. Mrs. H. P. McCarroll and Mrs. Boyd Owen, chairmen, urge that all solicitors take contri butions immediately to Miss Dixie Campbell, Clerk's Office, Court House. Miss Campbell is treasurer of the campaign. The Rev. Archie Graham report ed that nearly all ministers have been contacted although contribu tions have not yet been gathered in one place enough to appraise results. He is being assisted by i the Rev. Ray J. Hahn for Methodist I ministers: the Rev. Don Payne for Lake Junaluska churches; the Rev T. E. Robinett for Baptist and as sociated groups: the Rev. Elmer Greene for rural ministers. Most of the 15 rural areas sur rounding Waynesville are planning special projects, donating set amounts for CDP treasuries or can vassing individuals in the com-! munity, according to R. C. Shef field. chairman of the Rural Red Cross Drive. He felt that rural areas could be counted on to pro duce about 10 per cent of the over all goal. Mrs. Elsie Osborne, who has been a faithful Red Cross worker for years among the colored popu lation. reports that she is encoun- I tering excellent support and has covered about one-half of her ter ritory. j Co-chairmen Williamson and Miss Ballard urged that all contri butions now in hand be brought to Miss Campbell at the Court - PHRE11T PROBLEIHS |. Exacting Children's Promises By CARRY ClEVctAND MYERS, Ph.D.' SUPPOSE on seeing your child, four, drug his puppy by the ears, you assigned this lad to sit in a chair unamused for twenty min utes time. When the time is up. whether announced by the ringing of the clock or by words from you, should you make the youngster promise not to repeat the act for w hlch he had been punished? No What else could he answer, when he knows he must give the answer required? Xnderd, ! can see no sense In forcing a child of any 6ge to I promise, following punishment, not to repeat the offense for | which, he was punished. If the punishment was well selected and administered effectively, you as sumed It would suffice to deter him from repetition of the of fense. In case it would not, what good would the forced promise do? It would only harm him by loss In self-regard from having failed to keep the promise. A School Lunch Menu Suppose you tell your child, seven, what foods he should choose for lunch at school and I command him not to buy sweets I at the nearby store. Suppose you make him promise to do as you commanded him. In the first place, he knows he really has to make the promise. Now suppose this evening you1 asked him If he did as he prom ised and as you had commanded him. Suppose he reports directly, or Implies, that he had not kept the promise. Then what are you going to do? You could punish | him this time. But he may only report what seems practical later, knowing that you were not there., In this event, you not only have ? I defeated your purpose in having him choose a proper lilhch, you have also practiced him in deceit. What should you do in the first place? You should not, of course, try to have him choose proper foods for lunch. Occasionally, you might suggest to him the kind of lunch he should choose, without pressing the matter unduly or exacting promises from him, or putting him on the witness stand later to report how good a lunch he had chosen. | If you are in doubt about his choice of lunches and suspect he might be frequenting the sweets store, you might prevail on a teacher, with the principal's ap proval, to carry out your wishes. However, this plan would have obvious difficulties. Your surest way would be through your per suasion of this child, without ex acting of promises or checking on him by later questioning. Nor could you hope to get good re {suits merely by commanding him I what to do or not do, on which you could not have an objective, consistent check. Adolescent on Dates The same problem arises with the older child anywhere away from you. You are naturally eager that your son and daughter do right while out for an evening. So you may often exhort and command this child on what to do or not to do. You may stay up at night Just to hold a kind of inquisition, trying to force him to tell you what he did that he knew you considered wrong. But under such conditions the' youth soon reports only whst he considers sale to report. Ana what have you accomplished then?
