Rep. Walter B. Jones Reports
During the Congressional
recess I have had the pleas
ure of moving around the
district and seeing many of
you in person. This is, in
deed, a refreshing experi
ence and I only wish that
my Congressional duties
permitted this to happen
more often.
On several occasions I
have stated publicly that I
am concerned about the
lack; of interest in agricul
ture in the present Con
gress. This concern was
certainly verified during
the week of July 29 while
the House was considering
the extension of the farm
program for four additional
years.
We received very little
support and certainly lim

services beginning August
18 and continuing through
August 23. Worship ser

each evening.
Guest preacher for the
week will be Rev. George
Norman Ashley. Mr. Ash
ley was born in Chowan
County near Edenton, and
graduated from Buies
Creek Academy.
After graduating from
Wake Forest College, he
entered Duke University,
where he earned his M.A.
Degree in Philosophy and
also his BD. Degree from
Duke Divinity School. On
a scholarship grant from
Duke, he studied in 1934-
35 in the American School
of Oriental Research in
Jerusalem, from which
many excavations were di
rected.
He is currently serving
his 33rd year as pastor of
the First Baptist Church
in Roseboro. In add tion to
his pastoral responsibilities,
he taught Bible for 13
years and was president for
seven years of Pineland
■College, now known as
Southwood College in, Sal

He is now serving as
trustee of Southwood Col

ited understanding from
the urban area members
who continue to express
concern for the ghettos,
food stamps and other such
programs. I attempted to
call to their attention that
unless we continue to pro
vide incentives for our
farmers to remain on the
farm and produce food
stuffs, then food stamps
will be of little value.
The one thing that has
kept America the domi
nant power that it is has
been its ability and capa
city to produce enough
food for our ever-expand
ing population and to come
to the material assistance
of other nations, such as
India, in times of famine.

of the Ordaining Commit

Defense for Religious Af
fairs for Sampson County.
In 1931, he married the
former Alice Freeman
Jones and they have three
children.
Mr. Ashley is the son of
the late George V. and
Clara S. Ashley of the
Rocky Hock community.
The community is invit
ed to the services and a
nursery will be provided.

ignore the problems of ag
riculture, this situation
may not continue to exist.
The farmer is one of the
few segments of our econ
omy who does not have a
guaranteed return on his
investment of money and
labor. I think a weakness
cf the system can best be
explained by a specific ex
ample. When the farmer
ships a load of hogs to a
faraway market, the truck
§r is insured of a fixed
rate. The purchaser is as
sured of a profit. Those
who contribute their labor
to loading and unloading
are guaranteed a minimum
wage by law. Yet, the
farmer only receives what
the purchaser agrees to
pay.
I am among those who
do not believe that the
present farm program has
produced the results that
it should. Today, with
farm income being only 73
per cent of parity, it is in
deed deplorable, but on the
other hand, what would the
conditions be without any
sort of farm program? I
expect to join others in the
91st Congress in introduc
ing measures which will
make the present program
more effective and more
equitable to our agricul
tural economy.
Certainly, it is incum
bent on us to consistantly
remind others of the im
portance of an adequate
supply of food and fiber.
