SECTION TWO—I Jf SENATOR 4 LENNON M. RE PORTS * Bfflß Washington—Writing a weekly col-, umn, making it worthy of the editor s valuable space and letting you know what I am doing as your United States Senator in Washington is quit 6 It is a good idea, I honestly think, to let you know where I stand on the vital issues facing the Second Session of the 83rd Congress. That’s the idea behind this report—to tell of my ste- j wardship. The report will be free of; partisan politics. It will hew to the. line of integrity. I hope you find it helpful. TODAY’S MAIL Your mail is interesting. It takes, some time out of every day to get it j all read and studied. I returned to j Washington to find a basket full of letters on a diversity of subjects. Wha | is today’s mail reevaling ? It shows | that the people of North Carolina are interested in a reduction in taxes, how to assure farmers that they will re ceive a fair price for their tobacco, cotton, peanuts, com, grain and other products. Many letters show that there is considerable concern about unem ployment. There are many letters fa voring a wage raise for postal and other government workers. Os course, the mail also covers many other sub jects such as the controversial Brieker admendment, overseas spending, mini mum wage and labor legislation and the problems in the field of States’ Bights. It’s all read. It’s helpful, and it doesn’t take long to spot the so-called “high pressure” letter from j the heartfelt. FARM PROBLEM ! Your letters regarding mv stand on; the farm problem Were mostly con gratulatory and in agreement. A few said they boned T bad been misquot ed. My position has not changed. T believe we cannot afford to let our, agricultural economy suffer. That is t why T favor strongly, and plan to sup-, port with all my power, legislation to continue high' (90 per cent of parity) I support prices for farm, products. Many sincere and honest people do not agree with my thinking on this, but I find myself unable to take anv other J position other than to back the farm people of North Carolina. i i BUMPING THE CEILING j My position is that we should not raise the debt limit which is now standin" >t the awesome ?275 billion; mark, Some of the leaders in our gov-, erntpeht siv we’re ■ bumping the ceil-i ing right now and that-our unbalanced , budget will suffer if it isn’t raised. That may be true. But I have to be shown in no .uncertain terms that this is. necessary. It seems' more' plausi ble to reduce our foreign economic sending greatly, to plug the defense 1 "ltd: '■ "d balance fb-\ budget. If we caprior balance the budget now, h I l '’ oil - art t arc we over going to got it done! It seems mor ■ f ; >■ to opr taxpayers to cut out .as much of the : unbalance in tbe budget as possible. because the d‘ bt service on the nat ional debit now runs at about seven \ billion dollars a year. T believe that j we can ptv. rit raising the debt limit by examining every proposed expendi-i ture carefully.

WISDOM I’m reminded in closing of the story about the little boy who was ; praying at bedtime for God to “look after Mommie, Daddv and all the rest.” And he closed his child's pray er by saying, “Good Lord, take good care of yourself, because if anything was to happen to you, we’d all be sunk.” CATHOLIC SERVICES I !

If you haven’t received yours, address a post card to your favorite seed house, or send for several different ones so that you can compare their specalities. Each company has certain special -17 s' and novelties which it empha sizes and recommends to its customers, as well as the standard varieties. This is especially true of hybrid varieties. A few seed companies produce new hy brid varieties which are ottered for sale only by themselves. There are -■many hybrid varieties oi vegetables being introduced by seedsmen—espec ially of tomatoes, cucumbers, and sweet corn. Some of these are dis tinct improvements over standard va rieties; some are not as good. The way to find cut if they suit your needs Because one look at the sensational new styling of these breath-taking Buicks shows them to be the freshest new automobiles in years. One look into the modern interiors— and through that spectacular new back-swept windshield firms the conviction.

The home garden ler should try out small plantings of , these new varieties and hybrids be j cause he takes very little financial 1 risk and at the same time he may be well pleased with the results. He ■ should, however, continue to plant the ! old proven varieties until he has giv en the new ones a fair trial. Every gardener should take an in terest in the “All America” vegetable and flower variety selections of the last few years. These have been test ed in several different locations in the country and can be generally rec lommended. Good examples are Wade snap beans, Salad Bowl leaf lettuce, Premier Great Lakes head lettuce, America spinash, Cherry Belle radish, | and many others.
