I What’s Instore? 1 ' By JOON AYNES AU..,.. ' • r> ; After being in a large city over the week-end, the best reason I can give for shopping in Edehton is the parking situation. The city fathers, police or whoever is re fponeihle for the delightful ar rangement of paying such a little fine for overparking, is to be con gratulated. Having the meters )«?e|>s people from overly prolong ing their shopping tours and gives others a chance to park, but the fine, being little, still encourages t&em to do that shopping and if a person is delayed, he knows he will not have to turn over the money that was to buy Aunt Minnie’s Christmas present. The Tricks or Treats crowd loved tike suckers that come on a long strip of cellophane. 29 suckers for ' 29c at Rose’s. It’s a new way and easy to handle for children’s par tits, etc. However, I noticed Christmas candy out already and can’t help but feel that it will be stale by the time St- Nick arrives. It’s quite possible that candy lasts that lonic, bpt it seems a little early to d;s play it . v With the Marine Corps Birthday Ball this Saturday, some might be ihterested to know that the long, white formal gloves are available at Belk’s.

Bad Company An elderly man of convival hab its, but also bookish, was hailed be fore the bar of justice in a small country town. “Ye’re charged with bein’ drank and disorderly,” snapped the mag istrate. “Have ye anything to say why sentence should not be pro nounced ?” “Man’s inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn,” began - the prisoner, in a flight of oratory. “I am not so debased ds Poe, so profligate as Byron, as ungrateful as Keats, so intemperate as Bums, so timid as Tennyson,—.” “That’ll do, that’ll do,” inter rupted the magistrate. “Seven days. And, officer, take down that list of names he mentioned and round ’em up. I think they’re as bad as he is.” A mother’s love, touches the ehart of God, and should it not ap peal to human sympathy? —Mary Baker Eddy THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY.

Sharing their recognition will be more than 357,- 600 men, women and young people who serve as volunteer local lead ers of about 89,600 clubs through out the country. State 4-H Club Leader L. R.

Harrill says that in the past year many 4-H’ers have completed individual projects in farming, □I NO COMMENT •y JAMB W. DOUTUAI Washington—A major weapon in the figfht to re-elect a Democratic Congress is the tabulation.and dis tribution of “voting records” of members of Congress by COPE, the AFL-CIO Committee on Political Education. Distributed by the millions, these “voting records” place members of homemaking, community - service, and other activities. North Carolina boys and girls have produced and conserved food, feed - , and and cooked; improved and beautified their homes; made their farms more ef ficient; stressed personal health and safety; protected our wildlife; and cooperated in a wide variety of community services. Harrill says these projects have done much to improve family living through adding sources of income, introducing improved practices, in creasing" the family food supply, and conserving valuable natural re sources. Congress in neat little compart ments depending on whether they voted “right” or “wrong” accord ing to AFL-CIO standards. South ern Democrats and Republicans al most invariably are in the "wrong” column. However, little has been said i about how these “voting records” were compiled or of their accuracy. On the average, the 19 record votes used by COPE are four years old. One vote is more than nine years old. Only two were in 1956, and only three in 1955. Thus, only five, or roughly one-fourth of the 19 votes used, would be considered as current. In once instance, those who com piled COPE’s voting record got so confused that they listed “school construction” as issue No. 11, when the vote had nothing to do with this subject. The bill in question, in the 83rd Congress, was an appropria tion bill which provided funds to operate schools in federal areas. In another instance, COPE’s is sue No. 3 was entitled “labor in junction amendment.” This bill of the 82nd Congress had nothing to do with labor injunctions. It was a bill to authorize funds for con struction of overseas naval and military installations. COPE’s issue No. 19 is supposed to serve as a basis for judging the; Congressmen’s attitude toward for eign aid. However, the vote they selected was taken March 31, 1950, some six years ago. It was indic ative of a view prevailing at that time with respect to the so-called “Point-Four” foreign aid pro gram. It was not necessarily in dicative of an individual legislator’s viewpoint on the whole subject of foreign aid. In addition, COPE ignored literally dozens of other foreign aid votes within this six year period. Another important factor in con nection with any voting record com pilation is how members voted in committee. COPE made no pre tense of compiling a record of votes in committees, where the most im portant decisions in regard to pend ing legislation are often taken. Thus, where COPE’s rating yard stick in regard to record votes is 2 per cent of the total during the ■ New Fairlane 500 over 17 feel long Its a The low-priced 57 Fords come in 2 big sizes I «£ BA _..Here are two new ways to go BIG!

Genet, 46-year-old President of The Greyhound Cor poration, has come up with some exciting predictions. For instance, he predicts that by 1966: America's intercity bus trans portation industry will be a billion dollar-a-year business more than twice its present total. The nation's railroads will have virtually abandoned the business of carrying passengers. Bus routes will grow to an | amazing total. Bus of the Future The number of communities en tirely dependent upon buses for public transportation will increase from today’s 50,000 to 100,000. As for the buses, he envisions: Many will be powered by cx citing new engines that are already urn! ergoing secret tests. They will be more colorful with new type dyes, paints and metals, adding brilliance to our i highways. More glass than ever will he used—they will he virtually picture i windows on wheels. They will ride more smoothly and quietly. They will be lighter in weight ! due to the use of new plastics and still-to-be discovered new metals. As for the nation itself he savs: I More and more people will he at work. The average income will rise— 1 the work week will he shorter— vacations longer—and more people will live longer—enjoy retirement longer. period covered, it is zero per cent •of the committee votes and noti j record votes cast by a member of | Congress. !

The President has placed himself squarely behind the tax proposals of the Cabinet Committee on Small Business which he established last May. Its major recommendation, which the President says will be be fore the 85th Congress, would re-' duce from 30 per cent to 20 per' cent the normal tax rate on eor-V porate income up to $25,000 but would leave unchanged the 52 per cent rate applying to income in ex cess of $25,000. The 52 per cent rate was sched uled to drop to a top rate of 47 per cent on April 1, 1954, under the provisions of the Revenue Act I of 1951 enacted by the Democrats. ! The Eisenhower Administration has asked and obtained from Congress three successive extentions of this rate. The 52 per cent tax again is scheduled to drop to 47 per cent | next April 1.
