A home modernizing plan
for people who hate to give up
a beautiful 51% mortgage.
The home you bought five or ten years ago may not
be the carefree, modern beauty you’d like to buy today.
Maybe the kitchen doesn’t have all those up-to-date
conveniences. And it doesn’t have a panelled family room (which
you didn't need then because you didn’t have a lot of family).
. And the laundry room is two floors away from the laundry. And
there aren’t enough bedrooms.
But there is one thing about your home that looks
more beautiful every year. The old mortgage.
It may have cost you around slS>%.5 l S>%. A bargain
compared to today’s high mortgage rates.
How to move up without moving out.
If you’ve decided that this just isn’t the time to buy
your dream home, at least you can make the most of what you’ve
got. With a plan that creates new space within old walls.
That makes adding space easier.
Modernizing with electric heat.
V Consider, for example, your old furnace and fuel
tanks. They could be eating up a lot of valuable space that
might Ijb turned into a cheerful family room or den.
& Perhaps bulky radiators or floor furnaces are taking
up valuable space that could be used to make rooms larger.
(Aren’tuncluttered walls and floors one thing you love about
today’yiew homes?)
Maybe you’d like to add an extra bedroom and bath.
But you know your present heating system won’t handle the
extra load.
Electric heat. The problem solver.
Today’s modern electric heating systems can solve
all of these space problems. And give you cleaner, safer
year-round comfort as well.
Consider all the options available with electric heat.
If you want to use existing pipes and ducts, you can
change your fuel-burning furnace to a space-saving electric
furnace or boiler. No fuel to burn, no fuel tanks, no smoke,
no air pollution.
Or you can put a “heat pump” outside to save more
space <And enjoy heating and cooling for year-round comfort.
jgOr you can replace everything-especially bulky
radiatornnd floor furnaces—with modern electric baseboards.
And enjoy dean, uncluttered rooms that open up all kinds of
decorating possibilities. /
Electric baseboards also simplify adding extra
Rep. Jones Reports From Washington
Most of the time during the
week ending July 31 was
spent by the House in dis
cussing the Legislative Re
organization Bill. This legis
lation has been introduced
for the purpose of making
certain changes in legislative
procedures of the United
States House of Representa
tives. After almost three
full days of debate added to
many hours spent on the bill
the week before, the leader
ship decided to delay any
further action until after the
Labor Day recess. At this
point, the most important
amendment approved was one
to do away with all unrecord
ed votes on the (House floor.
Since the beginning of Con
gress, the method of voting
on important amendments has
been the ‘‘teller votes. - ’ This
is a system where each mem
ber present walks between
two other members and indi
cates a “yea” or “nay,” with
no written record of how
each individual member vot
ed. The language of the bill
now provides that teller votes
will be recorded. -With this
THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 1979.
I agree. Some of the most
important votes that a mem
ber casts is on amendments
which sometimes radically
change the original intent of
the legislation.
Efforts were also made to
abolish or to some degree,
modify, the seniority system
as it relates to selection of
committee chairmanships. As
was stated in the debate, “as
bad as the seniority system
might be, no one has yet
ccmc forth with a belter so
lution.”
The most important legis
lation considered by -the
House was a bill to extend
the Defense Production Act
of 1950 to June 30, 1972. This
bill was originally passed in
1950 during the Korean War
to give the Department of De
fense greater control over de
fense production and to as
sure the nation of sound mili
tary capability. In addition,
a new section was added
which can be cited as the
Economic Stabilization Act of
1970. This gives the Presi
dent the authority to issue
such orders and regulations
as he may deem appropriate
to stabilize prices, rents,
wages and salaries at levels
net lees than those prevail
ing .on May 25, .1970. Such
orders and regulations may
provide for the making of
such adjustments as may bo
necessary to prevent gross
inequities. Many- of you will
recall that Congress last De
cember gave the President
authority to issue credit con
trols. This new authority
gives to the executive all the
means necessary to control
this runaway inflation, if the
President so desires.
Several conference reports
were also adopted by the
House, including the Railroad
Retirement Act which pro
vides for a temporary 15 per
cent increase in annuities and
other changes in the present
law.
The House also approved

Q. May I use my GI in
surance policy as security for
a loan by naming the lending
institution as beneficiary?
A. No. The law and policy
state that the policy is not
assignable by the insured.
When the selection of a bene
ficiary appears to be an as
signment, the VA advises the
veteran that it is not accept
able.
Q. Does my service - con
nected disability rating of 60
per cent entitle my children
to VA educational assistance?
A. No. A child is eligible
for an educational assistance
allowance only if his parent
died (or is rated totally and
permanently disabled) as a
result of a serv i ce-connected
cause, or if he died from any :
cause while such a disability
was in existence.
