Washington Report
— By-»
CONGRESSMAN WALTER B. JONES
Probably the most important
news out of Washington last
week was the 5 to 4 decision by
the Sig>reme Court upholding
the ad valorem tax for the
8iQ)port of public schools. Many
had anticipated that the Court
would have ruled otherwise and
if so, would have completely
altered the present tax struc
ture in most States and coun
ties. This is another example of
the present Court structure
which is still considering
"states' rights,” to some
degree.
Each year Congress has to
pass resolutions providng funds
for the various Committees of
the House. There are 24 Com-
Butteric & Simplicity
Patterns and ail
types of notions and

mittees and the amount of
appropriations for some are
almost beyond imagination. For
example, the Education and
Labor Committee required
$1,440,000. for expenses and
salaries; the Public Works
Committee—$1,519.700.1 cannot
help but believe that the amount
of appropriations is reflected by
the philosophy of the individual
Chairman. For an example.
Chairman Bob Poage of Texas,
Chairman of the Agricidture
Committee, is very con
servative as it relates to appro
priations; therefore, his
Committee asked for only
$150,000.
The only controversial voting
was the vote of the Internal
Security Committee ap
propriations. This Committee
was formerly known as the Un-
American Activities Com
mittee, and several liberal
Members of the House made
every effort to delete this ap
propriation which would cause
the termination of same. But,
by an overwhelming vote of 289
to 101, the House express^ its
approval and confidence in this
Committee, and authorized it to
continue. On final passage, the
entire North Carolina
delegation voted "aye.”
A note to the peanut farmers
of eastern North Carolina: we
are still continuing our efforts to
maintain the recent peanut
program at least through the
year 1973. To this end, I had the
pleasure of meeting on Wed
nesday last with Senator
Talmadge and Secretary Earl
Butz of Agriculture, where a
strong plea was made on behalf
of the present program. The
final decision has not been
announced as yet.
The House also passed an
authorization for the con
tinuation of the Solid Waste
Disposal Act by providing that
it would be fund^ at the same
level for fiscal '74 as for fiscal
year '73

What does a young
bride do to curb her gro
cery bill at college?
According to Mrs.
James Murray, Reids-
vllle, Rt. 6, a bride could
can her vegetable supply
for the school year.
Last summer Mrs.
Murray’s dauc^itep-Pam
canned over 140 pints of
fruits and vegetables;
almost enough to get her
and her husband Cecil
through a year at
Appalachian State.
"With the increase in
food costs and a limited
budget, food conservation
is a good way to stretch
the family food dollar,”
agrees Jane Stuart, home
economics extension
agent, Rockingham
County.
IT'S SHOCKING
A young Alamance
Coimty homemaker, who
recently completed a
workshop on money man
agement, agrees that it’s
shocking to see where
your money goes If you
don’t have a budget.
"I bought a lot of
things I didn’t need,” she
told Mrs. Ozetta Guye,
home economics exten
sion agent.
“Although each thing
I bought cost very little,”
she added, “I frittered
away money that I could
have used to buy some
thing more useful and
necessary.”
“1 believe everyone
should have a budget,”
the homemaker said.
“And you can probably
convince yourself Just by
writing down what you pay
for every Item you buy
during one week,” she
pointed out.
