Page Two ■ 1 ) s THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C. Friday^ May 24, Washington Report .By — CONGRESSMAN WALTER B. JONES This past week the topic of conversation here in Wash ington was the arrival of the so-called “Poor People's March." It appears at this time that the march will not attract the 10 or 12,000 people which had previously been pre dicted. Already it has been re ported that some of these here are anxiously awaiting an op portunity to return home. The consensus of the Congress, as I interpret it, is that this dem onstration is useless and will produce no tangible results. There is a serious question as to whom is supplylngtheneces- Quality Shoe Repairing at Reasonable Prices IDEAL SHOE SHOP JOE HATEM, Prop. 903 Bread Street ME 74011 sary funds to support the en campment. Although they are occupying certain Federal property which heretofore has been prohibited to Boy Scouts, the American Legion and other organizations, they have not been permitted to use the area from the Capitol to the Wash ington Monument better known as the Mall. This, no doubt. Is due to the legislation which several of us Introduced a few days ago. Also, there Is a serious doubt that the tax package which in cudes a 10% surtax as well as a required reduction in appro priations has much chance of passing at this time. At least the Administration did not see fit to call It up for a vote until after the May 30 me morial Day Holiday. The pack age deal Is in trouble with both the conservatives and liberals. The liberals do not approve of the required $6 billion reduc tion, and those of us who are branded as semi-conservatives are fearful that the President will affect a $6 billion reduc tion in what we consider vital programs, such as agriculture, You pay no more for courteous treatment when you purchase one of our clean, late-model used cars. -THE AUTO MART REA funds, public school sup port, impacted areas, lunch room programs, highway con struction, conservative mea sures and other tried and proven appropriations wliich contribute to the progress and well being of the people of this nation. If we were positive that he would insist that reductions be made In outer space,foreign aid and many of the new “Great Society" experiments, we pos sibly would take a different view of the tax package deal. In any event, nothing will be done until after June 1. Actually, the most important bill the House considered was the extension of Public Law 480. This is legislation known as the Agricultural Trade Deve lopment and Assistance Act passed In 1954, which has meant so much to the people of our area. It permits the exchange of surplus commodities such as grain, tobacco, etc. to the foreign nations for products which they produce, and does not cause a drain on the Ameri can dollar. For example, if the United States needs to build or improve military bases or other properties in a foreign country, rather than spending the American doUar, we sup ply the foreign nation involved with our surplus commodities and use their currency for the needed improvements. This serves a dual purpose, that of removing our surpluses which sustain our agricultural econo my, and yet without Imposing a drain on our American money. This, of course, does not ex plain the lull contents of the bill, but Is the best brief ex planation possible.

Home Specialist Says Changes Have Been Made in Most Non-Stick Finishes Turned your back on non stick finishes? If you've been disappointed by previous per formances in non-stick cook ware, check again. There have been some changes made, Mrs. Eileen B. Weick, extension home management specialist. North Carolina State Univer sity, says. New “hard-base" finishes have been developed that are truly almost non-scratch. Practically speaking, you are now free to use metal spoons and spatulas on them. Colors are darker, too, so staininghas become less of a worry. There are two basic con- 'truction techniques used. Most common is a coating process. The body of the pan is roughen ed and then sprayed with a special glass material or hard, molten metal. This coating forms many Uttle peaks and valleys on the surface. Then, the non-stick finish is applied. Metal spoons will slide over on the peaks, never touching the finish that fills the valleys. The other type coating mixes the non-stick finish right in with the metal pan surface. This impregnating process given the toughest finish of all, but at the same time has less of the non stick quality. The new finishes have created some new rules for care. Finishes prepared by the coating process will take a dishwasher in stride, although this may in time remove the pan's “seasoning." If so, re season with oil as though sea soning the pan for the first time. Impregnated finishes cannot be washed in a dishwasher, Mrs. Weick points out. The finish will deteriorate. So when you're shopping for new pans or re placements, remember to se lect the finish that fits the dishwashing conditions in your family. These' non-scratch finishes are new and improved, but not foolproof, Mrs. Weick cau tions. Guard against cooking at very high temperatures, she ad vises. This can cau.se per manent staining.

You wash your face, brush your teeth, cook breakfast, turn on the news. You do the dishes, run the sewing ma chine, wash and dry the family laundry. Later, you mix the batter, chill the dessert and carve the roast. Perhaps, you even sneak a few minutes of relaxa tion watching television. All these activities—and count less more—are made possible or easier by electricity. In fact, there are 166 ways that electric service can help you around the house. For all this, you pay the lowest price ever per unit of power—about 14 percent lower than 10 years ago. Long on value, low in price. A tough combination to beat.
