Report From Washington JsSLI By Rep. Walter B. Jones Last week the Congress passed a multiple appro pi iations bill which posed the usual problem of hav ing to vote for question able appropriations which lfave been included in the legislation with justified appropriations. For an ex ample, the bill contained among other things, $7 billion for agriculture, $79 tuition for denfense and S7'i> billion for the Veter ws Administration.

Most farmers with Powell equipment are using 50 hours or less of un skilled labor to prime, barn, unload and prepare for market 2000 pounds of tobacco for the sale. It’s the proven labor-saving system that works! How Powell’s System cuts labor No stringers, handers, hangers or stick handlers are needed. You have no sticks or string to buy, handle, store. By replacing sticks with Powell bulk racks, you need only two to three people at the barn for every four to six primers in the field. The “barners" rack the tobacco, load the barn and even have time to unload another if it’s ready. You get uniform, nigh quality cures.

It is my conviction that each agency, each program and each department should be voted upon separately and given close, thorough scrutiny. For example, consider the “rent supple ment” appropriations. As toe member so ably stated on the House floor: “So far the total amount of con «HE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON. NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY. MAY 14, 1968. tract authority under this program amounts to $67 million, including the $25 million in this year’s bill. But to understand the cost ol the program it is neces sary to multiply that figure by the 40 years to which the taxpayer is obligated. In doing so, it is found that the taxpayers are obligated to put up $2 billion, S6BO million over a 40 - year period for this program alone.” The House also passed on Thursday an extension to the “Higher Education Students Assistance Pro gram.” This was, of course, a part of the Na tional Defense Education Act of 1958. It provides for a slight increase in the original appropriation in that the available funds for deserving college stu dents will be increased by approximately three times the number of students ! that can be covered. We were able to include an amendment which provides that no recipient under the terms of these loans shall be eligible to receive funds jif convicted of willfully ! violating the statutes re j lating to riots, arson, loot j ing and similar offenses. With such a great amount j of trouble being caused by j a small minority of our i college students, certainly this was a much needed im provement to this particu lar legislation. One of the main topics of conversation in Congres | sional halls this week was I the recent submission of a ! tax proposal package in j eluding a $6 billion reduc ! tion in spending and a 10 per cent surtax. In order to clarify what tthe tax Increase would do under the terms of the bill up ! for consideration, I sub mit the following ex- I amples: i Those paying federal in j come taxes who are cov * ered. in the two lowest I brackets of 14 or 15 per i cent would not pay any | additional tax. For ex ample, a married couple with two children earning $5,000 annually would pay no additional taxes. How ever, a married couple with no dependents earning $5,000 annually would pay an increase in their taxes of S3B. A married couple in the $7,500 wage income group with two children would experience a ssl in crease, while a married couple with no children earning ■ $7,500 annually would pay an additional $69 in taxes. You can see that the higher the income, the greater the increase. As of this moment I still cannot justify voting even a slight increase on our young married couples who are supporting our churches, civic clubs, the PTA’s and are the back bone of many of our com munities, until such time as I am convinced that most of the waste has been removed from federal ex penditures.

Sunday School Lesson Continued from Page 6 that their spirits were i more understanding, more tolerant towards the pre occupations and foibles of others; their ears sharper, their eyes keener than the eyes and ears and spirit of those of the cities, sur rounded as they were by the noises, the demands, the distractions of com merce and politics? Man is not great by vir tue of his worldly posses sions; rather, he attains greatness by reason of his inner strengths, his inner beliefs—and these are nur tured bjr communion with God. i . <r The writer of Ecclesiastes had lived fully, experi menting with his life, and had come to the conclu sion—by trial and error— that the fundamental values of life were not contained in worldly things, but— rather —in the spiritual values. That he was (in. later years) able to reduce his life to the fundamen tal truths, is to our ever lasting benefit, and we will be wise if we heed this printed word. We can learn the hard way—by our own mistakes; we will, however, be wiser if we learn by the experiences of others. By virtue of the writings of Ecclesiastes, let us re solve to set aside a tew minutes each day. in thp wilderness of our beings, to commune with God, to seek His guidance, and to dedicate ourselves anew to His service. ra > !satUM B ef > *the* Inter -ia ßocal 8 u y^Bchooj New Books At Local Library New books received at Shepard - Pruden Memorial Library include the follow ing: The Portable Renaissance Reader, edited by James Bruce Ross and Mary M.
