PAGE TWELVE t-ft Senator Sam J. Ervin Reports WASHINGTON How one views the arguments over free trade and import quota legislation depends to some extent on what you do for a living and where you live, but textile quotas to most North Carolinians represent a matter of economic survival Nearly 50 per cent of our citizens derive their liveli hood from textiles which have been hard hit by foreign * import in recent years. Pressure has been building up in the Congress over the last decade to curb a rising •tide Os imports into this country which have made hundreds of thousands of Am erican workers lost their jobs. With unemployment rates soaring to new highs and many workers on a reduced work week, there is renewed interest in our trade policies. The magnitude of the prob lem can best be illustrated by the fact that the House Ways and Means Committee, which has original jurisdic tion over trade legislation. iU> x a IT IS BAD enough when someone else is inconsiderate of us.

A few days ago, the Ways and Means Committee, recog nizing the problems created by foreign imports, agreed to report a bill establishing im port quotas for textiles and shoes. The bill would also provide that the President shall have new authority to limit imports on other goods under certain conditions. While the 'President is said to be opposed to some of the provisions of this bill, it is no secret that the bill deals with one of the most important economic facts of life facing our domestic industries, and particularly North Carolina’s textile industry. Basically, what the bill seeks to dispel is the myth •that American industry can survive in a healthy state no THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY, JULY *. 1979 matter hoW our trade negotiation may be of the interests of foreign com petitors who produce goods for sale in this country. For many years I have attempted to point out that our economy is endangered when we give almost every advantage to foreign manufacturers and give virtually no considera tion to the economic well-be ing of American manufactur ers and their employees. Actually, those who argue that we must maintain free trade at all costs ignore the fact that we have at stake some 60 million American jobs which are dependent on the survival of our domestic industries, while there are only four million American jobs dependent on our import industry. Moreover, since the passage of the 1934 Reciprocal Trade Act, times have chang ed and industries are con fronted with import prob lems they did not have a generation ago. Then the elimination of existing trade barriers was in the interest of this nation because we produced many goods in sur plus quantities. Indeed, one of the prime considerations It’s Garden Time !

There is a vase or a figurine and a plate for calling-cards in front of the mirror; chairs on either side of the table, chest or console are optional. If this describes your entrance hall it badly needs a striking, all-over pattern on the walls; a home, like a show, ought to “come on strong”. A second kind of impress ion an entry can give is im personal to the point of being majestic.' In halls which can be described as “foyers,” eith er a scenic wallpaper or sep arate panels seem to be indi cated. Low benches between tall lighting fixtures usually complete this type of en trance. A third type of impression is less standardized. We might call it the ultra-personal ap proach. Some homemakers see their entrances as a pre view of the rooms beyond. Since most of today’s homes, if they are consciously decor ated at all, strive to be one of three things traditional, contemporary or the potpour ri of all styles known as eclectic—the scope of these “trailer” entrances is bound less. What they contain will depend on their size and the appropriate furnishings that are available. Every entry should try to include the following: a table or a chest for a bowl of flow ers and possibly a lamp, at least one chair so that people can put on rubbers, a mirror to check their appearance, if they care to, and either a coat tree or an easily accessible closet. If the entry is a sep arate room, the wallcovering for a modest period type of entrance poses no problem. Aside from anticipating the character of the other rooms, it only needs a slightly more festive quality of its own. GE>e(H Tyfer nuvf .#•.. of Name” Sale...
