[1 Washington Congress has,
Kent to the President a bill that!
IwouLd increase the Federal
■Brants to municipalities for the
of sewage disposal
(projects.
|r The measure, known as the
(Blajnik Bill, would increase 1
■from SSO million to S9O million
■the amount of grants made each
»ear by the Federal government
(to cities and towns toward the
(cost of building sewage disposal
■projects.
I In the past, the Administra-
Ition has-strongly opposed an ex
pansion in this program 1 have
■Wired the President urging him
(to sign the bill into law be-
Icause of the urgent need of
kiany communities to correct
(serious water pollution prob
llems.
f This program has meant a
I great deal to North Carolina.
Ilhe Federal government started'
I making grants under the pro-
Igram in 1956. Since that time.!
la total of 47 projects in North;
I Carolina have been completed'
1 3t are now under way. The j
I total eoust of these projects
limounts to over $22.5 million, I
[ind the Federal government's
I ‘Jure of this total is slightly
[over $5 million. From these
[,'igures, it is obvious that the
[Federal government’s program of;
(grants for this purpose has en.
[Nmraged the construction of a ’
fjnat many badly needed water
|x>lluti<in control projects. Many
[jf them could not have been
|>uilt without the assistance of
[Jie Federal government.
[ More revealing than the above
Figures is the fact that we in
Vorth Carolina now have a to
ad of 46 proposed projects in
he pipeline, or on the waiting
ist, for approval of Federal
'rants. These projects wll cost
total of about $33.5 million.
Jclow is a list of the cities and
owns which are waiting for
unds under the program:,
! Ahoskie, Asheboro. Bessemer
iity, Canton. Meadow Green
•Sanitary District. Claremont,
Clayton, Clinton, Concord. Dav

Even with the nroposed in-,

, take from roc© taiw years t©

; presently-planned projects in
North Carolina for which grants
have already bee© sought. This
■ means that it is of utswost inv
. portanee to have an expended
j program in order to keep up.
Bv the time this ooinimn its
! published, it may well he that
the President has made his dc
! cisimi about either stgumtus; the
j bill into law or vetoing it. If
| lie signs it, all well and gaud.

that we will he able to twtster
enough votes in Congress to
override his veto.

New Pension Law
Effective July Ist
Pension eligibility require
ments based on the war service
of a veteran become alike for
widows and children of World
Wars 1 and II and the Korean
conflict after June 30, 1960, the
Veterans Administration points
out
The VA explained that at the
present time pensions are grant
ed to widows and children of
World War n and the Korean
conflict only if the veteran had
a definitely ascertainable ser
vice connected disability at the
tima of his death.
No such restriction is at pres
ent placed on the widows or
children of deceased World War
I veterans. j
The new pension law, going
into effect July 1, 1960, removes
this restriction and places wi- >
dows and children of World j
War II and the Korean conflict!
on the same basis as World <
War I dependents in this re
gard, the VA said.
This ‘equalization clause” of
the new pension system is ex
pected to add approximately
200,000 widow's and orphans to
the pension rolls, the VA esti
mates.
