Report From Washington
By Rep. Walter B. Jones
much controversy, known as
the Occupational Safety and
Health Act of 1970. I am
Congress or any citizen of
this nation who isn't con
cerned with industrial safety.
It is startling to realize that
14*00 Americans die each
year as a result of their
jobs, with two million annu
ally disabled through job-re
lated accidents. Over sl-5
billion is wasted in lost
wages and the annual loss to
the GNP is over $8 billion
annually due to occupational
accidents and diseases. The
controversy developed over
the approach to a solution to
the above-mentioned facts.
The original bill introduced
by Congressman Dominick
Daniels of New Jersey would
set up safety and health re
search, education and train
ing regulations by the federal
government, and if enacted,
would have given the Secre
tary of Labor virtually dicta
torial power to improve
standards and requirements
which he alone would deter
mine. In other words, this
would have been complete
bureaucratic control over
every industrial plant in this
nation. It was even suggest
ed that one complaint by a
dissatisfied or disgruntled
employee could under certain
circurr-otances, cause the clos
ing of the entire plants. A
majority of the House mem
bers felt this was going too
far, investing power in an
appointed official of the gov
ernment.
In contrast to the strong
Daniels bill was a substitute
bill known as the Steiger-
Sikes amendment, which, in
my opinion, provided equally
as much improvement in saf
ety regulations as the orig
inal Daniels bill, but in addi
tion to protecting the em
ployee would also provide
some recourse for the em
ployer. The bill adopted
provides for a board compos
ed of five members to set,
monitor and enforce stand
ards in lieu of the Secretary
of Labor and provides a three
member Presidentially - ap
pointed Occupational Safety
and Health Appeals Commis
sion to review proceedings
against violators. Finally, it
THE CHOWAN HERALD
would permit both the em
ployee and the employer to
go into the courts for review
before a jury which is con
sistent with American juris
prudence where the philoso
phy is that the accused has
the right to face the accuser
as well as defend himself
against the alleged charges.
In any event, the House voted
for this substitute amend
ment with all members of the
North Carolina delegation
voting in favor of same.
I have often commented OP
the peculiarity of subjects
which prompts the most mail
into this office. A few
months ago a bill was intro
duced to extend existing
laws concerning humane
treatment of animals. Many
months of public hearings
were held where animal
dealers, zoos, circuses and
importers of animals were
severely criticized for their
inhumane treatment Obvi
ously, there is no question
that there are some humans
who are inconsiderate to ani
mals, as well as to their fellow
man, but I did not accept
some of the testimony con
sidered by the Agriculture
Committee. in any event
this proposed legislation
brought into our office almost
as much mail as any one
subject These letters came
from as many as 40 states,
each expressing a great in
terest in this bill. Without
listing details, the House
committee reported favorably
H. K. 19646 of which I was a
co-sponsor, with the belief
that the bill we reported will
provide more humane treat
ment of animals, but yet
would not work an undue
hardship upon research lab
oratories and other segments
ci our society such as cir
cuses and zoos to whom it is
in their best interest to pro
vide the best possible care.
The bill also provides an ex
emption for animals on farms
or displayed in county fairs
and similar events.
Bond Chainiian
Gives Gift Tip
“This year U. S. Savings
Bonds make better-than-ever
Christinas gifts," Wand W.
Worley, North Carolina chair
man for the Treasury's Sav
ings Bonds Program, said to
day. "The interest rate is
higher than ever, and the
popular E Bond has a shorter
th an-ever maturity period."
The recently announced %
per cent bonus brings the ef
fective rate of interest on
bonds bought today at 5%
per cent if held to maturity—
and E bonds now mature in
only five years, 10 months.
There are other reasons for
buying Savings Bonds as
gifts, Worley pointed out
“You don't have to worry
about style, size, shape or
color. And they're priced to
fit almost any pocketbook.
They’re indestructible—if lost,
stolen, mutilated or destroy
ed, the Treasury will replace
them free of charge. They’re
patriotic, too.
‘‘lt's easy to buy bonds.
Your bank has them avail
able in denominations rang
ing from $25 to SI,OOO. And
you now have a choice of
four colorful and free—gift
envelopes.
“While Savings Bonds are
especially appropriate at
Christmastime, they are ideal
gifts for almost any occa
sion,” Worley added. “For
birthdays, new babies, anni
versaries, graduations, wed
dings—you name it—Savings
Bonds are the gift that keeps
on giving.”
A second-floor tenant called
the party below and shouted:
Hf you don’t stop playing
that blasted saxophone I’ll go
crazy.”
“It's too late” came the re
ply. “I stopped an hour ago.”
Fooled Him
“I turned the way I sig
nalled” indignantly said the
lady after the crash.
T know it,” sadly said the
man, “that’s what fooled me.”
Family Planning Questions - Answers
By a j. an, m
(Flat of m Sorias)
Question: test family pfen
ning just another way to bold
down poor people to keep us
small in number?
Answer: Perhaps the best
way to answer this question
is by explaining what the
term "family pfenning” really
means.
The family pfenning or
birth control movement was
started over 50 years ago by
a young nurse, “Margaret
Sanger. Ho- decision to dedi
cate her life to family pfen
ning work was made when
she watched a young wife
die after trying to abort her
self. She had gotten preg
nant for the fifth time be
cause no one would tell her
anything about family pfen
ning. At that time it was
against the law to discuss
such things.
In this ease, as in many
others, family planning could
have not only helped a poor
family to make a better life
for themselves—it could have
saved this woman’s life.
Nurse Sanger fought for
the rights of women and
children. ‘The first right of
every child is to be wanted."
Family planning insures
every child this right. It
gives the couple the ability
to have children by choice
