Washington Report By
Senator B. Everett Jordan
WASHINGTON, D.C.-A few
dayt ago a bill representing the
V most significant and far
reaching effort in nearly half a
(century to control national
political spending was signed
Into law.
' Deisgnated as the Federal
Election Campaign Act, it
repeals and replaces the
Corrupt Practices Act which
had been usedas: the only
guideline since 1925.
The new law, which becomes
' effective April 7, will apply to
all Presidential and Con
tressional candidates in both
primary and general election
contests.
It not only sets limits on the
amount that can be legally
spent Be establishes strict
requirements for reporting of
campaign contributions and
costs.
The key provisions include:
Limitation of campaign
spending for all types of media
advertising, radio, television,
newspaper, billboard and mass
mailing, to no more than 10
cents for each person of voting
age in the area involved in the
contest. In a state-wide race in
North Carolina the total would
be figures on a voting age
population of about 3.3 million.
Requirement for complete
and detailed reporting of
campaign contributions and
expenses of more than $100 by
any committee established for a
candidate as well as by the
candidate as an individual.'
Limitation of the amount a
candidate or members of his
immediate family could spend
from personal funds in the
campaign. The maximum
figure would be $50,000 for a
Presidential candidate, $35,000
in a Senate race and $25,000 in a
House contest.
Periodic reports on con
tributions and expenses will be
required during any election
year, with a final report by each
candidate or committee to be
submitted five days prior to the
eletion.
I am in full agreement with
the objective of this act which
was developed Jointly by the
Senate Rules Committee of
which I am chairman and by the
Senate Commerce Committee
which has initial legislative
jurisdiction in matters affecting
the communications media.
In my opinion, the limitation
of campaign spending is
urgently needed so that well
qualified candidates of modest
means will not be barred by
prohibitive cost from seeking
public office.
I have been advocating such
curbs for the past several years
and particularly so since 1968
when official figures put the
cost of the Presidential race
alone at about $35 million, with
the likelihood that the actual
total was far more than that.
I think the public interest
demands that any race be
decided on the basis of the
qualification of the respective
candidates rather than by any
difference in the resources
available to them or their party
for the contest.
That is the goal of the
legislation -we have now
enacted.
I consider it a much fairer
and more effective measure
than one proposed in 1970 which
would have imposed spending
limits only on political broad
casting, and I think it will do far
more to resolve the basic
quastions associated with the
cost of campaigning.
For that reason I am glad to
have had a part in drafting and
securing passage of this land
mark legislation.
LOUISA'S
LETTER
Dear Louisa, ;.:,;v
My husband died when I
was rather young and left me
with four small children to
support. I was a college
graduate so I got a job and
hired a housekeeper and got
along very well for four
years when I married the
superintendent of my school.
All of the children were mar
ried ten years later when he
was offered a better job and
we moved to another city. I
have made many friends here
and like it very much.
Now my problem is this.
My husband died several
months ago and all of my
children, who live in the
place where they grew up,
want me to move back to
this former town, so that I
will be close to the famn;
All four of my children have
young children of their own
and are very social minded
so I am afraid I would end
my days as a baby sitter if
I went back. I love my grand
Children but I am also in
terested in many projects
and I like concerts and
Plays. I would love to be
near the children but I would
have to give up my good
friends, the church and clubs
here that I love. What am I
to do about this?
Mother-Ind.
Answer:
Delay making a decision
for a while. It may be that
after a time vou will find
life very different where you
are, lacking a husband. And
bear in mind, that if you get
sick or need help of any
kind it is wonderful to have
the family to call on. If you
do decide to go back to your
first home, let your children
know that you will baby-sit
in an emergency but will not
be on call.
Louisa.

One of the major projects
undertaken this school year by
the Guidance Club at PCHS is
the sponsoring of its president,
Robert (Bobby) Hollowell to the
Presidential Classroom
Program in Washington, D.C.
Bobby will leave Hertford,
February 19 and will return one
week later on the 26th. This
marks the school's first par
ticipation in a Droeram of this
type, and it promises to be an
unforgettable experience in the
life of the club's president.
Hollowell will be available for
church and civic club ap
pearances when he returns.
Other Droiects on the rlnh's
calendar are the sponsoring of
an Orientation Program for
incoming ninth erade students
on May 10: SDonsorine Career
Week, May 22-26. Highlight of
uie weex win De an address at
1:30 p.m. to students by Mrs.
Social Security
"Everyone who expects to
draw a social security
retirement benefit must prove
they have reached retirement
age," says Robert W. Alford,
Manager of the Elizabeth City
Social Security Office. A great
many of the people who live in
the Perquimans area worry
about proving their age. They
worry and worry but this does
not solve their problem. One of
the reasons they are worrying is
that if they are over 58 years of
age and were born in the state of
North Carolina, they do not
have an original birth cer
tificate. An original birth
certificate is the best proof of
age that can be furnished but
other records can be used.
Generally speaking, the next
best record is a Federal Census
Record made a few years after
the person was born.
The personnel in the
Elizabeth City Social Security
Office will assist anyone in
completing an application to
secure a Federal Census
record. All people over 58 years
of age who have not discussed
their proof-of-age with the
social security people, should do
so as soon as possible.

Pupil Personnel Services in the
State Department of Public
Instruction. Mrs. Lennon will
also address counselors of the
Northeastern Counselors Circle
immediately following her
address to the students.
3-Year College
A growing number of edu
cators and legislators are
eyeing three-vear coll
degrees. The President of
the Florida Senate, Senator
Jerry Thomas, a proponent
of more flexible college
education, recently com
mented: "There's nothine maeic
about four-year degrees.
Someone a long time ago
must have arbitrarily de
cided to set a college edu
cation at four years and the
educators have been con
tent to keep the status quo."
Legislators and educators
in various colleges and uni
versities across the nation
are proposing in growing
numbers that students be
allowed to earn degrees in
less than four years. Much
of the average four-year stay
on college campuses is
wasted time, according to
some of these spokesmen.
Considering the shortage
of classrooms, overcrowd
ing at many col leges and
universities and other cur
rent acute educational
problems, a trend to allow
students to complete col
lege work in less than four
years, according to ability
and industry, is desirable.
This can lower college
costs for those who can earn
degrees in a shorter period,
reduce overcrowding and
allow many to become pro
ductive citizens at an ear
lier date; '

the world's leading fur bearer.
StateOfficials Endorse
Measles Immunization
"We urge parents to have
their children immunized
against red measles and Ger
man measles in the free im
munization clinics to be held
this month in public health
departments across the State,"
said Senator Ralph H. Scott,
Chairman of the Department of
Human Resources' Council on
Developmental Disabilities.
The gigantic camoaien to
immunize both preschool and
school age children ud to 12
years of age is sponsored by the
niarcn of Dimes - National
rounaauon, me state Board of1
Health and many civic groups.
"All children must be im
munized against red measles
according to a new law passed
by the 1971 General Assembly."
added Robert L. Denny,
Executive Director of the
Council. "The State Board of
Health, however, is offering a
combination shot for red and
german measles and is en
couraging parents to have their
children protected against both
diseases, which are important
health problems.''
If parents do not know the time
and place of the clinics in their
towns, they should contact their
county health departments for
information.
"The Council on Develop
mental Disabilities has long
studied the effects of measles,"
added Mr. Denny. "Common
red measles, which generally
lasts about 14 davs. can result in
brain damage, deafness, heart
defects, pneumonia, and other
complications."
He said that German
measles, which lasts about
three davs. manv times is so
mild that it is hardly noticed.
However, when contracted bv
an expectant mother in earlv
pregnancy, this type of measles
may oe responsible for multiple
handicaps in surviving
children. These include blind
ness, deafness, heart defects,
mental retardation, bone
malformations, physical
handicaps, and liver defects.
The measles vaccine is safe
and it is free. If parents are not
sure whether or not their
children have had shots against
both diseases, thev should brine
them to the lcinic for the new
vaccine.
