> I Page Two THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C. Friday, November 8, 1968 Washington Report — By — CONGRESSMAN WALTER B. JONES Through the medium of this column, we have attempted to keep you Informed of the major Congressional actions. I have tried to convey to you my views and convictions, and I am grate ful to those of you who have expressed your interest in this report. Since Congress has adjourned and there are no Congressional activities, this will be our last column of the year covering the 90th Congress and we will re sume it in January when the 91st Congress convenes. During the past four weeks, I have had the pleasure of see ing many of you in person. Sev eral Interesting questions have arisen regarding the method of selecting our Presidents. I find a great amount of mis understanding regarding the Electoral College system now in use, but at least most agree that it is an unsatisfactory sys tem at the present time. Of course, this procedure was inaugurated in the early days of our Nation, and at that time it was necessary die to a lack of communication, limited travel and other factors. Many of you tell me that you have come to the conclusion that we have outgrown this system, and with this I agree. As one resident of our District told me, that he was «tired of a select few going to any convention, and he having to accept and vote for their choice." I think in the near future some thought should be given to changing the method of selec ting and electing our Presi dents. Perhaps the most demo cratic way would be to have a Presidential Primary in each of the fifty states at the same time, with any citizen having the right to file for either President or ALL-SEASON AIR CONDITIONING warms or cools at a touch! ^he S.

Then the nominee of the Dem ocratic Party receiving the largest popular vote would op pose in November the nominee of the Republican Party or any other party, who had received the largest popular vote. This certainly would give every American citizen the right to select and vote for the candi date of his choice. I have become Increasingly alarmed at our farm economy and the prices our farmers are receiving for their products. I am aware that with the in creased cost of producing, the Congesss must find ways to eliminate the 70f corn and other commodities which sell below the cost of production. Unfortunately, the overwhel ming majority of our popula tion do not realize the impor tance of agriculture to the sur vival of this or any other Na tion. Ways must be found to stablize this segment of our economy. 1 have never made vague promises, but I do dedi cate my efforts to finding a so lution in the days ahead. I again want to thank you for permitting me to communicate with me personally through the pages of your local newspap ers who so generously provide the space for this column. Plentiful Cheese Has Large Number Of Uses as Food One billion, thirty-three million poundsisalotof cheese. And that's the production fig ure for all types of whole milk cheese for the first six months of this year, reports theU.S. Department of Agriculture's Consumer and Marketing Ser vice. This is good news for cheese lovers, for this means that cheese is in plentiful supply and prices will be especially at tractive. Cheese is good eaten "as is" but it also combines deli ciously with a number of other foods. Here are some suggestions you'll want to try: BARBECUED CHEESE POTATOES In a Dutch oven or heavy skillet, combine 4 large pota toes, peeled and sliced thin; 1/4 cup onion, chopped: 1- l/2 cups milk, 1 tablespoon butter; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/8 teaspoon pepper; 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped; 1 tablespoon catsup; 1/2 teaspoon Worces- .tershire sauce; a dash of hot red pepper sauce; and 3/'4 cup processed American cheese finely diced. Cover and cook over very low heat on top of range until potatoes are tender, about 1 hour. Serves 6-8. Serve with grill ed beef patties and crisp green salad.
