C. —Vladimir D. Bellos. Counselor. Dear Three P’s: In the past several months the newspapers have been carry ing news items referring to the lobbying in Congress. While the items indicate that interest ed people in legislation are ad vocating certain legislation, it dops not indicate just what is involved in this practice. Some of the news items seem to be far -fetched or else it would ap pear that the practice has a great influence. Who represents the general public in these mat ters pr don’t they have any •f voice jn these matters. Do you have comment to make on this subject. —Curious. IJear Curious: f Lobbying is peculiar to the U. S., hnd has become a power ful force which attempts to weild its influence before all legislative bodies, council or al dermartic bodies of large cities, state legislatures and Congress. The word is derived from the practice during the middle 1800’s of certain people interviewing legislators in the lobbies out side of the assembly or senate chambers of various legislative bodies and trying to influence them in favor of particular fav orable legislation. During the period of the development of the railroads and large iHterests it was a common practice to bribe legislators in return for favor [ Plant Now 1 Lawn Grass Seed Special Evergreen Mixture Annual Rye Grass Creeping Fescue Carpet Grass White Dutch Clover Cover Crops Abruzzi Rye Atlas 66 Wheat Hairy Vetch , Pasture Ladino .Clover Certified Ky. 31 Fescue Carden Seeds Kale ' ***- TUrntps " ■ Radish Cabtjage Seed* ’ r ' Onion Sets Collard Plants SEE US FOR YOU* SEED REQUIREMENTS! & Mew Seed Now In Meek THE CHOWAN HERALD | very thing that will make fu ture wars impossible. War has now become such a terrible po tentiality that a sane humanity cannot afford it. An ironic para dox. If we war, we die. We want to live, therefore no war. Ergo—it’s as simple as that. We showed Mr. Khrushchev our cities, our industries, our agriculture. Red China paraded her might in martial equipment before the Russian. Any arms potential that is built up for aggression will boomerang event ually on the aggressor nation. Kaiser Wilhelm built up a mighty army—which boomerang ed and brought about the Kais er’s downfall. Hitler tried the same thing with disastrous re sults. Let that be a lesson to nations and powers with am bitions of expansion at the ex pense of lesser nations. “He died laughing” said, in able legislation. There was not 'a railroad that could obtain a franchise and the right of emi- i nent domain without paying for! i it and it was a common thing [for railroads to grant lifetime j j passes to all members of various 1 I legislatures and members of J their families. It was the only I way the railroads could obtain their franchises and build the railroad. Since then lobbying has become an art and the lob byists carry on their profession in the lobbies, in back rooms and any place favorable for their purpose. While the various leg islative bodies are elected pri marily to represent the people, you must remember that such bodies are made up of members with varying shades of political philosophy and generally it is agf&ihSf 7 this type of legislator that various interests in the country try to protect them selves. It is a common prac tice in certain areas for mem bers to introduce obnoxious legislation adverse to certain elements in our society.

C. part, the dispatch that told of Errol Flynn’s recent death. Quite a fitting epitaph to one of Hollywood’s most colorful and controversial figures. Dash ing and swashbuckling, as dash ing and as swashbuckling in real life as on the screen, Errol Flynn “lived it up”. A long time cardiac victim, he lived with it, and lived it uo, as though he knew that death may be just around the corner and he must squeeze the last drop of sensation from the mortal play before the curtain was rung down. One of the least known facets to Flynn’s career was that of writer. Two books came from his pen. “Beam’s End” and “Showdown”. If he had devoted all of his enormous energy to ( writing, the world might have| had another Somerset Maugham or Thomas Wolfe. Let’s trust Russia—a little. , lobbyist reports this to his prin , cipal and things begin to hap j pen. It eventually results in I the legislator withdrawing the obnoxious legislat on in return I for certain favors to himself, in cluding a money payment. With the growth of many and diverse ! interests in our society' such in terests find it necessary to pro tect themselves against obnoxi ous legislation but also to work for the passage of favorable legislation, it was reported thati every member of Congress was ‘ invited out to breakfast bv a certain labor lawyer from Cali fornia and each legislator was told what was expected of him or else. Then there are organi zations within our society that seek legislation; the NAm, repre senting industry; AFL-CIO rep resenting labor. Then there is! an organization in New York representing education which tries to get more and more for' education and teachers. It is in teresting to note that in a biog raphy of John L. Lewis he is j i quoted as follows: “Everybody j "IPs® »■' . wW< f ’ /; ' •TSI g&aj&Smijw-v■> '■ yj, fix ; Shllip yS iff ** CAUGHT IN THE ACT—This burglar triggered a hidden camera as he broke into a cigarette vending machine in Ander son, Ind.

Lewis) want my pound of flesh, that I gave Mr. | Roosevelt $500,000 for his 1936, campaign and I want quid pro 1 quo. The United Mine Workers, and the Cio paid cash on the ’ barrel for every piece of leeis- i lation that we have gotten. We' have the Wagner Act. The Wagner Act cost us many dol lars in contributions which the United Mine Workers havej made to the Roosevelt Admini stration with the explicit un derstanding of a quid pro quo for labor. Is anyone fool enough to believe for one in stant that we gave ths money to Roosevelt because we were spell bound by his voice.

House and I was given 48 hours Ito get that money.” It is inter- I esting to note that a certain 1 member of Congress from Cali , fornia is paid a large annual | retainer to represent certain 1 Central American Republics to obtain concessions from this country. You might ask who he represents. This problem is becoming so complex that the j average citizen cannot keep up with it or to keep informed. And you can be sure that your representatives in legislative halls is not going to tell you that he has been influenced oth er than in the general welfare of the people—which sometimes is just pure bosh. Dear Three P’s: My mother is a widow, is com paratively young and has her own apartment. I am her daughter, married with two chil j dren. Lately my mother has j shown some interest in a bache . lor who has never been married. He is courting my mother rather assiduously. I am not sure that is a good thing for her nor am * I sure that this man has good intentions. My mother has a j fair income so that she does not i have to worry. Should I try to stop this romance?, * —Prudence. Dear Prudence: You are not being very pru dent when you try to interfere with the natural course of events between two mature people. Your mother must have some judgment and discretion at her age. If this man has the normal good qualities it would be a good thing for your | mother, for living alone is not good for anyone. If you are I worried about her money, you can persuade her to set it uo in! a trust with a good trust com- j pany from which she can derive the income but cannot touch the i principal except in an emergen cy.. Think it over. j To those leaning on the sus taining infinite today is big with i blessings. —Mary Baker Eddy.
