WITH THE FARM WOMEN
By VIRGINIA M. NANCE, Extension Horn* Economics Editor
It’s a natural thing for people to
pass on bits of useful information 1
and hints to friend, and that’s
just what home demonstration
club women in NEW HANOVER
County have been doing, says
Velma Belle Lowery, home agent. I
Mrs. J,. P. McGinnie, a club mem-|
ber, expressed it this way, “As
fan back as I can remember I’ve
beta* sewing. But the simple
sewing tricks I’ve learned recent-,
ly at club meetings have helped,
me make garments more profes-|
sional looking. Most of what I
learned, I’ve passed on to another
Seamstress friend.” . . . 4-H’ers in i
RANDOLPH County have really!
been baking lots of corn meal
muffins, as part of their activity,
in the Corn Meal Muffin program.
Reports from Ida Maude Black,'
assistant home agent, show that at
least one adult 4-H leader has
worked with 21 girls in making'
their muffins. Prizes were offer-,
ed by the leader as incentive for:
the girls to make a higher quality I
product . . . The Leon Thomas
family, in JONES County, has a
problem which seems to be pre

Agent Faytie Cox. It seems that j

years later, the plants are quite
large and are marring the looks’

with their closeness. As a result,
the Thomas’s are making plans

County women unusually busy
this summer, say reports from
Frances Temple, home agent. She
indicates that gardens are better
this year and with the high cost
of food, the women have been
anxious to conserve what they
have. Miss Temple observes that
“Richmond County people- will
certainly be well fed this winter.”
. . . Mrs. Willie McDonald, Cataw
ba, Rt. 2, didn’t have to wait for
painters to redecorate her home.
She decided to do it herself.
Home Agent Marjorie Gilbert ex
plained that Mrs. McDonald came
to her for help in planning her
son’s room. To save money, her
plans were to do all the painting
herself—which she did, and with
good results.

Washington The Senate Rac

manship of Senator McClellan has
continued hearings in the labor
management field since the ad
journment of Congress.
Hearings To Continue
The committee has much work
to be done. It is now planned to
hold hearings regularly during the
coming months.
We can accomplish this by al
ternating attendance at the hear
ings. Under our procedure we re
quire at least two Senators pres
ent when the committee is in ses
sion. Prior to formulating my
plans for the period between now
and the next session of Congress
which convenes on January 7,
1959, I agreed to be available for
a considerable part of the time to
attend the hearings in Washing

AN EAGLE SETS HIS WINGS
! Two liwle girls were gathering roses.
One of them ran into the house crying.
"Mother," she said, "every rose 1 have
gathered has stuck me with its thorns.”
The other laughed gaily and said,
“Mother, all my thorns have roses!”
! What would you have seen—roses
or thorn*? Same people arc sicker than
others because of their melancholy out
look on life. They see the bad side of
life because they practice wrong think
ing and wrong believii^.
It is the people who resist self-pity,
who refuse to feel sorry for themselves,
who will not allow themselves to
cringe and whimper about life's
struggle who know what living reaHy
is. They are the ones who can stand
up and say, ”1 love God, I have faith
in God. I believe God is with me, and
if he is with me, nothing or no one
can successfully be against me. 1 will
succeed, in his name.”
i I learn a wonderful lesson from the
eagle. When a storm strikes art eagle,
he sets his wings in such away that
(he winds lift him above the storm by
(heir very fury. The set of the wings
docs it. And it is the right use of our
faith that determines how the storms
that come our way will treat us. We
will rise above the storm; its very fury
will lend us higher and higher toward
God—or it will wreck us for time and
eternity. Faith makes the difference.

Schedule
After my first vacation since
coming to the Senate in 1954, I
plan to do what I can in the cam
paign during the month of Octo
ber. That will give me consider
able time for my turn on the com
mittee in the two remaining
months. While I prefer to spend
all of the recess in North Caro
lina, I do feel that the work of the
committee is of such importance
that personal preference must be
sidelined in favor of the work at
hand.
Full-Time Job
| Senator McClellan and I are the
, only Senators assigned to as
; many as three regular committees
, and a special committee that func
' tions as regularly as the select
1 committee, the so-called Senate
| Rackets Committee. As I have
I previously reported, my other,
committee assignments are Ju
diciary, Armed Services and Gov
ernment Operations. The Senate
Rackets Committee is a full-time
job. I am convinced that it has
made a significant contribution.

Washington—The closeness of
the vote by which the Senate
killed states rights legislation
served to stimulate its advocates
to launch immediately an inten
sified campaign for favorable ac
tion by the next Congress.
Because it was brought up so
close to the time of adjournment
the measure, to protect state laws
against federal preemption, never

there is a God?" '
”Ycs, son.”
"Well if there is a God, where is he?"
The father smiled and asked, "Son,
where is he not?”
God is present everywhere at the
same time. He is like the sun when it
is shining. Vou may close your eyea
but the sun shines right on—whether
you look toward it or not. You do not
have to go anywhere to find God, for
he is here and he is there. I find Him
here through my faith You will find
him there through your faith.
You can find him today. Let me em
phasize that faith in God is the greatest
single possession you will ever have in ,
this world. There arc people who think 1
if they had lots of money, they would
have everything.
In my city there is a very rich woman
who was afflicted with an incurable
disease. One day her doctor came in and
asked her, "Well, how are you today?”
She said, "About the same, doctor,
and how are you?"
He said, "Lady, there is nothing
wrong with me that a million dollars
won’t cure.”
She said, "Doctor, 1 have a million
dollars and you can’t cure me.”
In this world money is necessary
and God has promised to supply our
needs—all of them—according to his
riches by Christ Jesus. But the most
important thing in this world and m
eternity is to have faith, faith in God.

It was a victim of a combina
tion of filibustering tactics, an
adroit political maneuver to post
pone the crucial vote until some
of the measure’s supporters had
to be absent from Washington,
and of determined opposition on
the part of Senator Johnson of
Texas, the Democrat leader,- and
of Attorney General Rogers.
Despite these highly unfavora-l
ble conditions, the vote to send!

rights proposal objectively.
The legislation had passed the
House by the overwhelming vote
of 241 to 155. Its chief sponsor
was Rep. Smith (D-Va.), chair
man of the House Rules Commit
tee. A similar measure, sponsor
ed by Senator McClellan (D-Ark.)
and others, was before the Sen
ate. Its sponsors included both
Democrats and Republicans.
Under the measure, the Su
preme Court would be barred
from invalidating state laws
merely because Congress had
passed legislation covering the
same area. Federal law would
be supreme if there was a direct
conflict with state law —or if
Congress specifically “preempted”
the field —but, in the absence of
these conditions, the Supreme
Court would have no right to as
sume that a federal law on a sub
ject automatically nullified a state
law on the same subject.
Backers of tne legislation con
tended that the Supreme Court
had made this assumption in a
number of cases —and thereby
had deprived the states of the
right to deal with local problems,
such as communistic activity.
Senator McClellan, chairman of
the Senate Rackets Investigating
Committee, led the drive for ap
proval of the measure. He was
ably supported by a number of
his colleagues from both sides of
the aisles.
Actually, many of the backers
were surprised that the measure
received as much support as it
did considering the circumstances
under which it was considered.
This surprising amount of
strength encouraged them to look
