On June 9, the House pass
ed the Agriculture Appropria
tion bill for fiscal year 1971.
The total amount of this ap
propriation was $7,450488,150.
As reported earlier in this
column, the President’s bud
get failed to include any
funds for the Special Milk
Program for 17 million school
children. But the Appropria
tio n s Committee restored
$lO4 million to continue this
much needed program. Also,
the President’s budget did not
request any funds for the Ag
ricultural Conservation Pro
gram, more popularly known
as ACP. Here again the com
mittee, with the House sus
taining the action, provided
$195,500,000. Certainly, soil
and water conservation must
be considered a vital part of
any attack on pollution. Os
interest to our rural com
munities of the district was
the successful effort of a few
of us to provide the $44 mil
lion in additional funds for
rural water and sewer pro
jects. The committee had
proposed SSB million and
with the successful amend
ment, the House version
brings this to a total of SIOO
million. Contrary to the ao
tion of the past two years,
the House refused to place
ahy limitations on subsidy
payments. The consensus was
if limitations are to be
itnposed, they should be con
tained in the general agricul
ture bill at a later date,

1 Respectfully,
You'll enjoy it more after we lubricate
with Texaco’s famous Marfak.
Before you start out on your motor trip, stop in for Marfak
lubrication. Marfak is Texaco’s tough, chassis lubricant that
won’t jar out, leak out, or dry out. Resists wash out... stays put
to protect bearings for a thousand miles and more.
For a safer, smoother-operating car, you can depend on Mar
fak'. It’s just one of many outstanding Texaco products we have
for your car. Good reasons why more and more people trust
their car to the man who wears the star... the Texaco star.

Report From Washington
By Rep. Walter B. Jones
endum vote for the tobacco
support program to be held
sometime in mid July. This
vote will provide for a con
tinuation of the support pro
gram for the 1971-73 crops.
For the past two years, more
than half of the total pro
duction of fluc-cured tobacco
has been exported to our for
eign markets. Hie support
program provides for more
development work overseas
which will help maintain the
foreign demand. So, it is ex
tremely important that those
who are involved in the pro
duction of tobacco cast their
vote both for the support pro
gram and a continuation of
Tobacco Associates, Inc.
The House also passed a
resolution creating a 12-mem
ber delegation from the Con
gress to make a thorough and
complete investigation of our
Vietnam involvement and to
report back to the House
within 45 days. This action
is ip answer to those who
have been critical of Con
gress not becoming more in
volved in the military deci
sions and activities of this
nation-
In other action, the House
approved the Clean Air Act
amendments for 1970. Among
other things, it authorizes the
secretary of HEW to establish
nationwide ambient air qual
ity standards, and also auth
orizes the testing of any new
motor vehicle or engine as ft
comes off the assembly line
in order to determine whether
the vehicle conforms with the
applicable emission standards.
The authorization provides
for an appropriation of S2OO
million for fiscal year 1971;
$250 million for 1972, and
$324 million for 1973. This
TOE CHOWAN HEEALP, EDENTON, ROW CAROLINA, TUESDAY, JUNE 18, 1979.
compares with a previous
high figure of $lB5 million
for fiscal year 1989.
Hie 1971 military construc
tion appropriation bill was
approved totaling 41 billion,
997 million. The budget esti
mate was in excess of $2 bil
lion, but the committee re
duced this figure by almost
$l3B 'million.
The House Committee on
Agriculture continues to be
unable to reach a compromise
on a farm bill to replace pres
ent legislation which expires
on December 31 of this year.
I am confident that some
agreement wiH be reached in
the near future, for all mem
bers of the committee are
aware of the importance of a i
sound farm program.

Make Going To Church A Habit
SEBVSNG GOD <IN THE WORLD
International Sunday School Lesson for June 21
Memory Selection: “Be not overcome of evil,
but overcome evil with good.”—Romans 12:21.
Lesson Text: Romans 12-13.
Our lesson for today has as Hs center the diffi -
cult task of bringing about the union of a Chris
tian’s personal relationship to God and the ful
fillment of his responsibilities in the present-day
world. Harmony is often elusive, between these
two realms, and a satisfactory answer can only
be found through total commitment with Jesus
Christ in observance of His doctrines.
Paul drew a sharp distinction between cor
poreal pressures and spiritual commitment In
today’s language, we have often met people
whom we would term “extroverts” that
pecple with outgoing spirits; people who love
being a part of the crowd, and who “never meet
a stranger.” On the other end of the scale we
have also met people who are the opposite—
“introverts”—quiet, somewhat reserved individ
uals, who seem to prefer their own thoughts to
the companionship of others. And somewhere
in between there is a balance that can be struck.
In the realm of truly Christian commitment
this same temperate attitude should prevail. The
“outgoings” for which we should strive, in
Christ’s name, are beautifully set forth in Rom
ans 12, verses 14 through 21. “Blessing” not
“cursing” should be the order of our days.
DESTRUCTIVE attitudes of mind must be re
placed with the CONSTRUCTIVE. COMPASSION
must replace INDIFFERENCE in our dealings
with others; there must be no doubt—FAVOR
ITISM should be made to give way to justice.
None of them easy tasks, but that which is truly
worthwhile is never easy and what could be
more worthwhile than walking in Christ's foot
steps to the best of our ability? For it is only
through so doing that we grow in spiritual stat
ure, and be of worthwhile service to Gcd in the
world.
The Christian is exhorted to be peaceable; yet
he must be mature enough to draw a line of
distinction between what is PEACEABLE, and
what is COWARDICE. Christian concepts are
worth fighting for—but not fighting with anger
fighting with staunchness of spirit, with patience,
and (above all) with tolerance and understand
ing.
Jt is readily seen, therefore, that this “bal
anced path” is not an easy one to tread. It de
mands much of each individual. It demands
great inner searching of spirit—a degree of “in
troveriability”—for we cannot know our fellow
man, much less God, without first knowing our
selves. Yet we must not be so indrawn in our
selves that we divorce ourselves from all re
ality. The world makes its demands on us—it
makes it needs known, and we must answer
those needs.
Introvert or extrovert—or a happy blending of
both—the New Testaments teach that love is a
road that MUST be followed if we are to be
worthy of Christ. And not only when love cornea
