By far, the most important
Issue to come before the
Mouse in some time occurred
last week in the considera
tion of the Presidential veto
-df the Labor, Health, Educa
■ tion and Welfare appropria
tions bill. Since the found
ing of this country and
through the Johnson adminis
tration, there have been 2,250
i presidential vetoes. Os this
■ number, 1,293 were signed,
while the remaining 957 were
.‘{pocket vetoes.” I hope it is
,of interest to note that only
23 times in our history has
the Congress overridden a
presidential veto. This does
(inot mean that the other 2,177
were sustained, for in most
ycases the veto was allowed to
prevail with no further ac
tion by the Congress.
£ In reference to the vote
JJast week and consistent with

been operating since last July
1, or for seven months, on an
ticipated funds, all of which
will be deducted from the
total figures in the final ver
sion of the bill.
There were others who felt
that a vote to support the
President might offer some
relief to the multiple schools
problems. But, unfortunate
ly, nothing in the bill could
possibly affect the previous
HEW guidelines or the Su
preme Court rulings.
In brief, this could be
phrased as the “Veto, con
tinuing federal controls while
reducing or eliminating fed
eral financial assistance.”
In consideration of this ve
to, another important fact is
that if the veto had been
overridden, under existing
law, President Nixon could
through executive order re
fuse to spend any or all of
the funds except those pro
vided for impacted areas.
During the consideration of
this legislation, which began
some time in February, 1969,
and continued for 10 months,
the administration for the
most part, failed to make
specific recommendations as
to which categories should be
reduced, with the exception
of impacted areas.
In an effort to combat in
flation and federal spending,
the Congress had already re
duced the proposed 1970 bud
get by $5.6 billion. In re
trospect, it might be well
that the veto was sustained,
for now it is incumbent on
the President to submit a
substitute appropriation bill,
with his own recommenda
tions as to expenditure reduc
tions.

with the spiraling inflation,

understand the President's
previous request for $5 bil
lion for a supersonic trans
port system.
Other legislative action in
cluded House approval of a
bill amending the Internal
Security Act of 1950. Many
of you will recall a recent
Supreme Court decision which
decreed that a person could
not be barred from employ
ment in defense or security
work who was a member of
the Communist Party. This
bill, if approved in the Sen
ate and signed into law,
would give the government
authority to refuse employ
ment to one of proven sub
versive theories or activities.
Little Change In
Reporting Salaries
For Domestic Help
It has been 19 years' since
the pay of domestic em
ployees was first counted for
social security credit. Many
of the children who were
cared for by maids in 1951
are now paying a maid to
care for their children. Just
like the parents of 19 years
ago, today’s parents must also
report the wages paid their
maids.
Unlike our rapidly chang
ing world, the requirements
for reporting the salaries of
household workers have
changed very little. Cash
wages (including bus fare if
paid in cash) must be report
ed if it amounts to SSO from
one employer in a calendar
quarter. The work done by
anyone in or around the
house is covered under social
security. Maids, cooks, gard
eners or yard men, butlers
are included in this group.
The method of reporting 1
the pay of household work- j
err has also changed very
little. The housewife is re- 1
sponsible for reporting the 1
amount of wages paid the '
worker at the end of each ,
calendar quarter. The report ,
of the last quarter (October- ■
November - December 1969) 1
must be filed with the Inter- '
n;.' Revenue Service by Jan-!'
uary 30, 1970. The reporting j
forms are supplied by your i
nearest social security or In-1
ternal Revenue office.
The household worker has
a responsibility, too. He must
show his correct social secur
ity number to his employer.
Unless the number is shown
on social security reports, he
will get no credit for his j
work. !

JESUS OFFERS GOD’S FORGIVENESS
[ International Sunday School Lesson for Feb. 8
Memory Selection: “Come now, and let us rea
son together, saith the Lord; though your sins
be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;
though they be red like crimson, they shall be
as wool.”—lsaiah 1:18.
Lesson Text: Matthew 18:23-25; Luke 7:36-50.
Christianity, per se, is truly a gospel for out
-1 casts. Jesus, in His ministry, went among the
I righteous and the God-fearing; but He also went
amongst those who were harlots and sinners.
Indeed, those who persecuted Him and finally
crucified Him, used the latter facts to criticize
Him for the company He kept.
But the primary motive of Christ’s advent on
earth was (and ever will represent) God’s con
cern for mankind, His understanding of man’s
weaknesses and foibles, and His forgiving heart,
[ as typified by the sacrifice of His only Son on
[ the tortuous cross. For forgiveness of sins was
J what prompted that supreme sacrifice. And
• how fortunate is man, because of it!
Give some thought, if you will, to the circum
stances as related in our Biblical study for to
! day.
Simon the Pharisee extended to Christ the
- hospitality of a meal; the meal was interrupted
by the arrival of a woman of ill repute, who
[ cast herself at Christ’s feet, cleansing them with
[ her tears, drying them with her hair, and anoint
[ ing them with an ointment that doubtless, in
l those days, was an expensive luxury.
Her advent was an affront to Simon; all he
[ could see was a woman of poor reputation —a
[ sinner. What Christ saw was a loving spirit, a
[ spirit in which love and gratitude was the mo
[ tivating force. And in order to make this clear
to the scornful Simon, Christ related the tale
[ of the two debtors. (Luke 7:41-43).
And, when Simon answered Christ’s question
[ correctly, in regard to which of the debtors
[ loved his deliverer the most (Simon rightly
[ said: “He will love him the most, who was for
given the most”—and still did not see, Christ
: confounded his host still further by rebuking
r his smallness of spirit. For, although Simon
had invited Christ to partake of food for the
[ body, he had not extended himself to offer the
E food of the soul. As Jesus pointed out, Simon
' had not cleansed and anointed His feet; he had
■ n °t made an open and unashamed declaration of
love, as had the sinning woman.
Are we, as we consider the life and times, and
the supreme sacrifice that Jesus made on our
behalf, imbued with a love that is worthy of
; public and unashamed return? Are we like the
' woman who abased herself at Christ’s feet, and
ministered unto Him, unashamedly—or are we
like Simon, the Pharisee, whose ministrations
were purely of a token nature?
We sin, almost daily—and glibly tell ourselves
j 1 foot our sins will be forgiven, because of God’s
[ lov e for mankind, and the advent of Christ upon
[ our earth; we do not stop to think that we
