Queen Street Phone 482-4477 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.

Vets Corner 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.
