I' MNATOH ®, 1 SAM ERVIN JSL/»s| Washington There is room for'honest disagreement as to the approach for legislation irt the la bor field. Effective BUI This being so, I have attempted to pursue a course in the mat ter that will produce an effective bill for prompt action 'by Con gress in the area of labor cor ruption, astounding conditions ‘that have been shown by the Mc- Clellan Committee, on which I have served for two years. The bill that I have co-sponsored with Senator Kennedy meets this need. There is also wide agreement be tween the Kennedy-Ervin an i Administration bifls, but the con troversy arises over the inclusion of certain Taft-Hartley revisions' which I am convinced mu:-t be! considered in separate hjlls. The New York Times recently I expressed it this way: ‘‘But, after all, these are mat I ters (picketing, secondary bov-i cotts, eta) that primarily involve ; the power and external re’ations of labor unions, not how they! manage their' own affairs. Doesn’t this mean that amend ments to the Taft-Hartley law should be made through a sepa rate, and carefully considered, over-all measure? They seem like excess baggage which might' well fee temporarily jettisoned now for the sake of reaching the l main and immediate objective: i ( Greater democracy, honesty and efficiency within American labor unions.” Testimony C Last week I testified before the Labor subcommittee consid ering the proposed bills. I relat- 1 ed the need for corrective legis- 1 lation. My position i s that the \ Kennedy-Ervin Bill effectively j prohibits the misuse of union I funds, provides an effective method of control by local union members, prohibits felons from' holding union office and is a good labor reform bill. As I have stat ed before. I favor eliminating all Taft-Hartley law revisions from a labor reform bill and including them in separate hills. Congress ought to act with haste and wis dom in adopting labor reform leg islation. Tne Conditions are a disgrace to our country. Practical Consideration Mr 'Arthur Krock, a distin- 1 guished journalist, recently dis cussed in his column the various views on proposed legis'ation, in clifding the Kennedy-Ervin Bill. He concludes his article with the following: “There is, of course, a iprnctical consideration which suoports the Kennedy-Erv'n approach. This is that any prom-ess toward curbs of the excessive power of the un ions is worth making; that the Kennedv-Ervin measure provides this, will surely be approved, but, may fail if amending. St as the I administration pronoses ' leaves! organized labor with the choice! of ail or none. ‘This consideration anpea’s to many Mpmh»rs of Conores S who cannot be fairly tagged as pawns of the unions. And nsAwraily it I appeals to others: Those for whom it is DOli+ier’lv safe *o vte for the Kennedy-Ervin bill but not for the administration sunnle ments: and those who. we'com- | in® progress >n the f’eid of in- j dustrial relations. sineereW on-! pose the curbs in the administra-1 A Good Reading /for the Whole Family •flews •farts * •Family Features T>w CNttMn SciwvMontter On* Norwoy St.JMtan 15, Mo«». • fend vour n»«pqp« ft* *» tlmo ctMckad. tnetowd **) m» chock or morwy ordor.

THtCHOWAN HER AID, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12. 1959, Women Better Patients / Says Family Doctor of Year ■mm* jgk prl *-. ■ XL Dr. Lonnie A. Coffin, 68, of Farmington, lowa, back at work after being named General Practitioner of the Year by the American Medical Association. “Women are better patients than men,” according to Dr. Lonnie A. Coffin, Family-Doctor of the Year. “They’ll do what you tell them, but men won’t.” At 68, Dr. Coffin is a warm and happy man, busy with the health needs of morethan 3,000 people in and around rural Farmington, lowa. Enriched by 46 years of country doctoring, he is also a man who speaks his mind, a philosopher with concise and witty views on life. Here are a few of them; On smoking: “It’s undoubt edly bad for you. I gave it up after my coronary, and”—he stopped to light one of his six daily cigars—“I’ve given it up several times since then." Mass X-Ray Survey For Four Counties Is Being Planned The second pre-planning con ference for the mass X-Ray survey was held at the Health Department in Elizabeth City on February 6. Dr. William A. Smith, chief of the Tuberculo sis Section, State Board of Health, gave detailed informa tion to a group of prominent people of the four • counties about setting up the two mobile units from April 4 to May 2. The units will be operating for j 22 working days and are equip ped to take 22,000 X-Rays, or an average of 500 per unit per day, I the cost being defrayed by the four counties. I The tuberculosis situation in , the United States and North 1 Carolina has improved during I the last 20 years as to the num ber of deaths, but cases have not declined in the same pro i portion as deaths. I Bocause of the increased rate 1 of tuberculosis in the older age group, everyone over 20 years of age- is urged to have a chest j X-ray. POCAHONTAS MEETING Chowanoke Council No. 54, De gree of Pocahontas, will meet to night (Thursday) at 8 o’clock in the Red Men hall. Mrs. Barbara Farless, Pocahontas, urges all members to be present. . On health: “The work of the voluntary health agencies makes me confident about the future. The National Founda tion, for instance, which helped us eight years ago when a polio epidemic hit Farmington [three of Dr. Coffin’s four grandchil dren were stricken], is now ap plying its March of Dimes funds to problems like arthritis and birth defects. That's good news, and good health.” On sickness: “If you're sick, do what j’ou can to get well, but try not to worry about it. If you worry, you’ll feel worse and so will everybody around you.” On being sick at night: “We ’all get sicker ' ht. That’s! Usefulness is doing rightly by yourself and others. We lose a percentage due to our .activity when doing the work that be longs to anothei. —Mary Baker Eddy, 11 SO.OO pint fKppi ® % *°°' Ife HI J.t.s. browns \K|: gall SON COMPANT because we have more time to think about ourselves.” On drinking: “There are only certain people who should drink. Those who can both control it and afford it.” On fishing: “You can fish sit ting down and I like that. If you catch something, fine. If you don’t, exaggerate.” ■ On being a doctor: “I try to take care of people no matter what the hour, no matter where they live, no matter who they are. Where or when they get sick is not their fault.” On being a doctor named “Coffin”: “Well, it’s true that’s what they carry you off in, but the fact is my name hasn't scared off too many patients.” I believe the West will even tually win the world to its side, because of its belief of the freedom and the dignity of the human personality. ■ —Arnold J. Toynbee. Townsend Speaker For Womans Club Continued from Page I—Section 1 named by the court. At the 16th District meeting held here in October, 1958. it was decided to hold a sympo sium in the area and the Eden ton dub was informed this month the symposium will be held in the fall of 1960 at Cho wan College in Murfreesboro. Efforts are now under way to engage a nationally known speaker to talk on world affairs. During the business session a letter of thanks was read from the Elementary School teachers for a recent gift by the club for the lounge, and a letter of com mendation from the national president of Federated Woman's Clubs on the Edenton contribu tion to the children of Greece was read. It was pointed out the Edenton club was the only 16th District organization to contribute to this project. The club voted to meet at the Edenton Restaurant beginning in September, after having beer notified by the St. Paul's Church Guild it would be unable t continue to serve the luncheon Guests at the meeting ihcluder Mrs. Rupert Riley, Mrs. Robert Powell and Mrs. S. F. Hicks, Jr. The best of all government is that which teaches us tr govern ourselves. —Goethe.
