red to retail food products dealers in
exchange for surplus agricultural food
1 products at prevailing market prices.
This impressed me so much as being
| a practical sensible and humane ap
proach that I had to stand on my feet
|in the Senate and say something
about it. It touches the economic
needs of our people and the need to
stabilize farm prices.
WHY THIS BILL?
This extra monthly SIO.OO to the
individuals I have already mentioned
will he a God-send to them. Today
we have a strange condition in our j
country. Many of our citizens do not|
| have enough food to eat. Yet there j
is a surplus of food which threatens
to drive farm prices lower and under-,
I mine our whole economy. The cost of;
j living is high. This bill, if passed,
1 would help melt away the government
'surpluses Os food by seeing to it that
I it gets into the hands of the needy
1 and deserving people of our country.
•It would prevent this food from be
-1 ing shipped to Russia, or other places,
!as some have suggested. We have
j the surplus of food. The Federal gov
i'emment already owns it. If addition
• al aid is to be given to people on
i 1 needy roles, then it seems practical
>'to do it this way. It will serve a
■ human need and it will help to keep
■' our farm prices at a level where the
i[farmers of North Carolina can make
.'a living. I am for helping folks who
I are in need and doing away with aid
i to people who are able to work and
■ earn a living but are too lazy to do it.

The new International One Hundred is being shown and demon
strated at Byrum Implement & Truck Company, International truck
dealer for the Albemarle area. The One Hundred is a new low-cost
half-ton pickup truck with advanced riding and performance features.
It is powered by a new, high-compression engine, the Economy Silver
Diamond 220. The new model’s features include easy handling, swift
acceleration and cab comfort, in recognition of the frequent use of
pickup trucks as personal and family vehicles. The One Hundred is
designed to be an efficient and economical carrier of half-ton loads.
Jesting fact. It said that Iredell Coun-!l

i about the Battle of Moore’s Creek,

pleased about it becuse so many of! <
