But in spite of such plenty, American families are not much of an example to the world as to permanence, Child behavior, juvenile f behavior. On the contrary, American children are pushing the juvenile , crime rate to record highs, the ., nation's divorce rate t? con. Btantly increasing and the break down in the rate of stability and endurance of the American family seems to parallel the breakdown of paternal authority in the home. ' One of the major reasons for this turn of events is the "dunce" role so often played by the American father these days. Whether the average American father is brainwashed by television programs constantly stressing female dominance (selling women the products being advertised)' or whether he has simply abdicated his role as the rock of stability, security and authority in the home, is a question. ' Psychiatrists tell us wives want a husband they can respect, look to for guidance and the maintaining of discipline in the home, Too many of them arent getting much of it from American fathers and husbands. As wives and children remember them Sunday oh Father's Day, this is something they should be thinking about. PL. H AX ine ruiivcu vx Summer The summer solstice arrives midway between the spring and fall equinox. The first day of summer this year is June 21st, as it often is, and summer lasts until Sep tember 23rd, the first day of autumn The hottest days of the year will probably come - if the weather follows the traditional pattern - after the longest day of the year (the 21st). This is true, usually, because the earth stores heat in the period when the sun shines longest. By July and August the earth has stored great quan tities. Summer means vacation-time to many students, and shorter vacation periods to many adults. To make this summer dif ferent, drive safely on trips to mountains, lakes and beaches; reduce the death rate, which might include you. On June 9, the House passed the Agriculture Appropriation bill for fiscal year 1971. The total amount of the appropriation was $7,450,188450. As reported earlier in this column, the President's budget failed to include any funds for the Special Milk Program for 17 million school children. But, the Appropriations Committee restored $104 million to continue this much needed program. Also, the President's budget did not request any funds for ; the Agricultural Con servation Program, more popularly known as ACP. Here again, the Committee, with the House sustaining the action, provided $195,500,000. Certainly, soil and water conservation must be considered a vital part of any attack on pollution. Of interest to our rural communities of the District was the successful effort of a few of us to provide $44 million in additional funds for rural water and sewer projects. The Committee had proposed $56 million, and with the successful amendment, the House; version brings this to a total; of $100 million. Contrary to the action of the past two years, the House refused to place any limitations j on subsidy payments. The consensus was that if limitations are to be imposed, they should be contained in the general agriculture bill at a later date. All farmers should be aware of the tobacco referendum vote for the tobacco support program to be held sometime in mid July. This vote will provide for a continuation of the support program for the 1971-72-73 crops. For the past two years, more than half of the total production of flue-cured tobacco has been exported to our foreign markets. The support program provides for more development work overseas which will help maintain the foreign demand. So, it is extremely important that those who are involved in the production of tobacco cast their vote both for the support program and a continuation of Tobacco Associates, Inc. The House also passed a resolution creating a 12-member delegation from the Congress to make a thorough and complete investigation of our Vietnam involvement and to report back to the House within 45 days. This action is in answer to those who have been critical of Congress not becoming more involved in the military decisions and ac tivities of this nation. In other action, the House approved the Clean Air Act amendments for 1970. Among other things, it authorizes the Secretary of HEW to establish nationwide ambient air quality standards, and also authorizes the testing of any new motor vehicle or engine as it comes off the assembly line in order to determine whether the vehicle conforms with the applicable emission standards. The authorization provides for an appropriation of $200 million for fiscal year 1971; $250 million for '72; and $324 million for '73. THs compares with a previous high figure of $185 million for fiscal year 1969. The 1971 Military Construction appropriation bill was approved totaling $1 billion, 997 million. The budget estimate was in excess of $2 billion, but the Committee reduced this figure by almost $138 million. , Life With Father?

The House Committee on Agriculture continues to be unable to reach a compromise on a farm bill to replace present Legislation which exnires on IDecember 31 of this year. I am confident that some agreement will be reached In the near future, for all members of the Committee are aware of the importance of a sound farm program. Know Your Social Security Social security beneficiaries must report events which may suspend or terminate payments. Delay in reporting could cause penalties. There is special concern for those drawing benefits on behalf of minor children. A recent study by the Social Security Administration shows that both widows and retired workers often neglect to report promptly the marriage or death of a child for whom monthly benefits are being received. There is no way of knowing of these events unless they are reported, and the paymeit center continues to send the checks. These payments have to be refunded, a ri d frequently restitution works a hardship on the family. Children who marry before their 18th birthday must report this to the Social Security Ad ministration so their checks can be stopped. Students between 18 and 22 who receive social security checks must also report to Social Security, if they, get married. The 1 a s t check payable covers the month before the month in which the marriage occurred. Children who work for more than $1680 in the year while receiving social security checks must have their benefits suspended while so employed. At the end of the year, or when they stop working prior to that date, the total earnings are computed. Frequently some payments are due even though earnings have well exceeded'tieW for the year. Veteran's Acbiicisiration : While many students have long since completed their final college exams, students studying under the GI Bill have an ad ditional concern. According to W.R. Phillips, Manager of the Winston-Salem Veterans Administration Regional Office, all veterans attending schools of higher learning under the GI Bill, must return their certificate of at tendance cards during the last full month of the semester to receive their final check, and, in addition, to be automatically re enrolled under the GI Bill next semester. Phillips explained that VA payments are computerized and the computers are programed to prepare the final checks only after the attendance cards are received. Since final checks do not arrive until most students have left the campus, Phillips reminded veterans to be sure to make arrangements to have the Post Office forward their final check. Also Phillips asked college veterans to report promptly any change in dependents or change in course load that would affect the amount of their checks.

' emotions of the bereaved. Prominent psychologists consider this an essential procedure to safeguard , mental health. The showing of grief by family and friends, while the body lies in state, also aids the distraught survivors to accept and adjust to the reality of death.

Our Lesson for today has as its center the difficult task of bringing about the union of a Christian's personal relation ship to God and the ifulfillment of his responsibilities to the present-day world. Harmony is often elusive, between these two realms, and a satisfactory answer can only be found through total commitment with Jesus Christ in observance of His doctrines. , Paul drew a sharp distinction between corporeal pressures and spiritual commitment. In today's language, we have often met people whom we would term "extroverts" - that is, people with outgoing spirits; people who love being a part of the crowd, and who "never meet a stranger", On the other end of me scale we have also met people who are the opposite - "introverts" , . . quiet, somewhat reserved individuals, who seem to prefer their own thoughts to the companionship of others. And somewhere In between there is a balance that can be struck. " In the realm of truly Christian commitment this same temperate attitude should prevail. The "outgotap" for whichwe should strive, to Christ's name, are beauttfuUy set forth in Romans 12, verses 14 through 21. "Blessing" not "cursing" should be the order of our days. Destructive at titudes of mind must be replaced with the fratnictive. Compassion must replace indifference in our dealings with others ; there must be no doubt - favoritism should be made to give way to justice. None of them easy tasks, but that which is truly worthwhile is never easy - and what could t be more worthwhile than walking in Christ's footsteps to the best of our ability? For it is only through so doing that we grow to spiritual stature, and be of worthwhile service to God to the world ' r The Christian is exhorted to be peaceable; yet he must be mature enough to draw a line of distinction between what is peaceable, and what is cowardice. Christian concepts are worth fighting for - but not fighting with anger - fighting with staunchness of spirit with patience, and (above all) with tolerance and understanding. . . It is readily seen, therefore, that this "balanced path" to not an easy one to tread. It demands much of each individual. U demhnds great inner searching of spirit ... a degree of "tatrovCTtabllity" - for we cannot know our fellowtnan, much less God, without first taowtag ourselves 1 Yet wemust not be so Indrawn to ourselves that we divorce ourselves from all reality. The world makes its demands on us - it makes Its needs known, and we must answer those needs. Introvert or extrovert : or a happy blending of both. the New Testaments teach that love Is a road that must be Mowed If we are to be worthy of Christ!! And not only when love comes easily; rather when it is most hard; love towards our enemies, reiurntoi; good to those who do evOunto us. f Spite must be driven out of our hearts, and forgiveness ; allowed free entrance. And perhaps, in the most unaffected way, our attitude towards our foes will make them, Instead, our friends! Will make them pause and consider; will make, them change their ways; win make them so earnestly desire , the inner peace and tranquility of spirit we m obviously possess that they will be driven to self-evaluation and ; questing after the source of our inner strength. This Is truly serving God to the world! , (These comments are based on ?JfS Sunday School Lecsr. ccrted by the toternational. Council of Religious Education, and used by permission).
