JK .SENATOR JORDAN J|m REPORTS Fnijnanino* Washington Once again, I rave officially asked the Corps jf Engineers _ and the Soil .Con servation Service to take the necessary action to cpmplete and submit to the Congress a report on their joint survey of the wa ter resources of the Cape Fear River Basin. This report on our State’s lar gest river basin has been delay ed entirely too long. I am very hopeful that these two agencies will present their report without further delay so the .proper committees of the Com*- ess cgn begin considering the" recommendations for ways and means to best harness the Cape Fear and develop its far reaching water resources. ' •The -Corps of Engineers and the Soil Conservation Service have been engaged in a joint survey of the Cape Fear since 1957. On numerous occasions, I have been assured .the report would be forthcoming shortly. Nearly four years have passed since it was initiated, and still no report has been 'made al though all of the field work was completed long ago. About one-third of North Car olina’s population works and. lives in the Cape > Fear River Basin, and through the years I Negro Home Demonstration News By BIBS. ONNIK 8. CHARLTON, Cou>ty Negro Home Economic. Agent Mary Louise Lassiter, 4-H Club girl from Wa r ren Grove Community was awarded third place in the Northeastern Dis trict, for her project work in canning. Mary received a cash award of six dollars ($6.00), which she will use to improve her canning project work this year. She has begun her long time record. Mary lives with mi aunt, Mrs. Hattie Alexander. She is 'the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Lassiter. During the month of February, Some Demonstration Club mem bers studied “How To Produce Adequate High Quality Vege tables.” Project leaders, train ed by Fletcher F. Lassiter, Coun ty Negro Agricultural Agent, were in charge of club demon strations. This outline, prepared by Mr. Lassiter, and used by the leaders, may be of help to you.

The absence of a water de velopment program in the basin has meant that we have missed out oh a vast amount of eco nomic progress and industrial development. The Cape Fear offers tremen dous opportunity for not only developing new sources of usable water for cities, towns and in dustries, but also for farm irri gation and recreation. I myself do not know, from a technical and engineering standpoint, what would be the best way to develop the water resources of the basin. There has been considerable discussion and controversy concerning large dams and small, community dams of the farm pond variety. These are matters which must be settled on the basis of tech nical data, but no final decisions can be made until the Corps of Engineers and the Soil Conser vation Service present the facts they have found to the Congress and to the people. After nearly four years of col lecting and reviewing these facts, I do not think it is asking too much to request that 'they be reported. dangerous. Vlll—Harvest or gather vege tables whery mature to maintain ■ high quality. A good home vegetable gar den will save you money; furn ish you better quality vegeta bles; cause you to eat more vegetables; provide valuable training ground for children; provide a hobby—especially for persons doing non-farm work; provide you with better health. Vegetables are among nature's best foods. They furnish valu able material for building and regulating the body and main taining health and growth.

Aces 'trampled Albemarle Conference leading Scotland Neck 64-55 in the John A. Holmes High School gymnasium Friday night to close out the last and most successful week of the basket ball campaign. The Acelets came through in the preliminary event on a field goal by Mary Anne Overton in the closing seconds to take a 27-25 victory, after the Edenton Junior Varsity had won their fifteenth game in 16 starts with a resounding 49-17 win. The Aces and Acelets for the first time this season won two doubleheaders in a roV, beating Hertford twice Monday night and Scotland Neck on Friday. The Aces, even though post ing a 4-6 conference record for the year, ended their season in a blaze of glory in handing the Scots only their third loss of the campaign. Bobby Stokely again led a fierce balanced at tack, this time getting his career high of 24 points. Bi,g Wayne Griffin pumped in 14 points and Jerry Tolley had 13. The Edenton boys led 13-12 at the first quarter mark and 'then started running with the taller Scots to take a 30-24 lead at the half. Scotland Neck rallied after the rest period and pulled to within a point, 40-39 at tse end Os three quarters. The Aces tried a semi-freeze, but the Scots kept scoring and took a three point lead with three minutes left to play. Coach Bill Billings then sent in Rich ard Hollowell, and 'the Aces were off and running again. They outscored the Scots 24-16 in the final period. 17ie Edenton defense centered around Neil Hodges, a 6-foot-7 giant who loves to score and Jim Liverman, an 18-points-a-garhe performer. Griffin guarded Hodg es and Stokely took Liverman, while the rest of the Aces con centrated on keeping the ball away from Hodges in the center. The big Scot pivot man finished with 24 points, while Liverman got only eight. Behind Stokely, Griffin and Tolley in the Edenton scoring were Hollowell with 8 and Fred Britton with five. Griffin and Britton helped control the boards for the Aces. Edenton made 16 of 18 foul shots. The girls’ game was close all the way after Scotland Neck had overcome an early Edenton lead. The Scots took a two-yoint lead with thirty seconds to go in the contest. Beverly Morgan tied the game a little later with a pair of foul shots before Over ton’s shot bounded high on the rim and dropped through with seven seconds remaining. Overton was high for the Ace lets with 10 points, while Mor gan had nine and Sara Relfe Smith eight. Veach led Scot land Neck with 15 tallies. For the season, the Acelets won 10 and lost 3 overall, while their conference record stands at 7-3. The Aces won 6 and lost 7 for the year and were 4-6 in the league. rRY A HERALD CLASSIFIED Me# Speaker For Episcopal Service The Rev. Richard H. Baker, Jr., rector of Saint Thomas’ Episcopal Church, Ahoskie, will be the guest preacher Tuesday at Saint Paul’s Church, Edenton. Mr. Baker was recently or dained 'to the priesthood where he is now serving. His father is the Rt. Rev. Richard H. 'Bak er. Bishop of the Diocese of The National Outlook ") Federal Deficit Just Ahead j By Ralph Robev j v —; President, Eisenhower’s last budget message forecast a paper thin surplus for the fiscal year ending next June 30. For the following fiscal year the estimate was for a surplus of $1.5 billion. Both of thfese predictions were widely criticized las too optimis tic'. They were based upon the assumption ' that the business curve would make a definite up ward turn in the near future. Whether we are going to have that upturn 'still is being debat ed, but the majority of analysts believe that aft upswing will start not later than June or July. But we are going to have a Federal deficit regardless, both for this fiscal year and for the next as well. Two Kinds of New Spending This is assured by the in creased spending plans of Presi dent Kennedy. Some of these plans are for the purpose of helping the business trend; oth ers are merely because, in the judgment of the new Admini stration, the larger outlays are .good in and of themselves.

This is ? being done as rapidly as possi ! ble, and the aggregate probably • will be significant. 3 Another example of such ’ business improvement ' steps is 3 the order issued by the Presi dent that the Federal allotment for road building be made at once—not spread over the year 3 as originally planned. . Congress Musi Approve These 1 Items involving increased - spending that are being offered » because they are regarded as de i sirable without reference to the 3 business trend are aid for de pressed areas, enlarged federal grants to education, plans for . urban renewal, and medical care . | for the elder citizens. All of >| these are subject to Congression f al action, and they may not be . passed in the form desired by , the President. But increased . spending will be the result in > any event. I There is still another proposal > ; and it does not fit too well in either of the categories men tioned, or perhaps it should be said that it fits in both. This! is the recommendation 'that un- j employment benefits be extend-' ad by Federal grants up to 39 weeks, as compared ' with the fairly general maximum at pres ent of 26 weeks. Implies Federalization of UC We have discussed this before: and pointed out that the Eisen hower Administration also ex tended such compensatiion pay ments, but that it was done in that instance through the Fed eral government offering to make loans to any state which needed the additional funds. The present plan is quite dif ferent. It is based upon grants by the Federal government out) of the general funds of .the Treasury, and carries the impli cation of federalization of the! unemployment compensation sys tem. It also is expected that employers will return such Fed-1 eral outlays by calculating their! unemployment tax on : $4,800 of! income per employee, instead of' the present $3;,000. But even if the Congress! adopts this repayment principle,’ and it is by no means certain that it will lift the base by such a large amount, it still remains true that, if the President has his way, the outgo will start at j once and the repayment will be extended over the future. And since a conservative estimate of this plan is that it will cost just short of one billion dollars, it' alone assures an unbalanced budget for this fiscal year, and perhaps even in the following 1 year. ' 1 Deficits Are Definite j [ For those who believe that a i government deficit is desirable i | as a business stimulant in time ’ of slack, this is a good move by; jt.he Kennedy Administration. 1 j And for those who do not wor-!
