THRILLING RIDE-Anyone
who looks at a map of North
Carolina knows that there is a
lot of water in the Eastern part
of the state and not many large
towns. But there is nothing like
flying over this section of the
state to give you a graphic
picture of what it’s really like. I
had just such an opportunity
last week and, believe me, it
was not only thrilling but eye
opening.
The occasion was a helicopter
tour arranged by Weyerhaeuser
Company at my request for the
Directoi of the North Carolina
Bicentennial Commission, Mrs.
Dabney Enderle, and her aide,
Eddie Barham. They were in
this area, for the first time, in
connection with a proposed
Bicentennial Barge: a floating
culture center containing a
library, art and historical
museums, and a small theater,
which may be one of the State’s
main projects for celebrating
our two hundredth anniversary.
From the air, it is quickly
apparent that most of the towns
are located on waterways
rivers. lakes, sounds, etc.
Between towns there is
farmland and pastureland but
mostly there are trees-acres
and acres of them, both
softwoods and hardwoods. Our
very able guide, DeWitt
Darden, pointed out the cypress
swamps and the tree farms,
identified the various crops for
us, and indicated the many
municipalities which could
provide dock space for the
barge we hope to build. All in
all, it was a most instructive
trip for everyone including the
pilot. Robert Fulton, who is new
to this area and had the thrill of

SCREECHES
TIRE TROUBLE-Except for
the weather which delayed our
flight a couple of hours, we
encountered no problems with
the aircraft. It was a different
story on the ground when I
returned to my desk--the first
thing to greet me was a report
that the Bookmobile had been
having tire trouble and
mechanical difficulties. Much
to the distress of the driver,
Pearl Furlough, she had been
unable to make some of her
scheduled stops last week. We
beg the indulgence of our
faithful patrons when these
things happen. You can be sure
we will get the Bookmobile
rolling as quickly as possible
whenever breakdowns occur
but our vehicle is beginning to
show signs of age and seems to
require more babying than
usual.
FEED FACTORS
Factors that have
contributed to the high
cost of livestock feed in
the U. S. are not all of
domestic origin. Some
of the major factors are
weather problems and
short crops in foreign
nations. Drouths have or
will cut harvests in South
Africa and India, for
example. Australia’s
December wheat harvest
was down. Unfavorable
weather caused the Soviet
Union to plant 17 million
fewer acres to winter
wheat than its planting
goal.

Under the 1972 Amendments
to the Social Security Law 100
per cent of the cost of home
health services will be paid for
by Medicare. In this area home
health services under Medicare
are furnished through the
District Health Department in
Elizabeth City. The Medicare
patient's doctor may make
arrangements for these
services for qualifying patients.
Under the old law only eighty
per cent of the cost was paid for
under Part B of Medicare.
In the future Medicare
enrollment will be automatic
with beneficiaries having an
opportunity to decline coverage
if they wish. This automatic
enrollment was effective for
persons attaining age sixty-five
in July 1973 or later. Persons

Woman Designs Cars
Mrs. Mimi Ornes, the first
woman designer hired by
Ford Motor Co. Dearborn,
Mich., said that it was easier
for her to get the job because
she was a woman, but that
now the pressure is much
more on her than if she were
a man doing the same job.
Hired in 1970 because the
company “was looking for a
woman,” her favored status
quickly changed when she
began working, she says.
The attractive designer be
lieves the pressure is good for
her and her career. “Being
watched is helpful because it
keeps you constantly on your
toes. This is especially im
portant in the automotive de
- sign field because of the com
petition.”

The House refused to even
consider the bill by defeating a
motion to consider a rule under
which the bill would be debated.
Another important matter
was the Military Procurement
Authorization for 1974. The bill
would have authorized $21.4-
billion for the coming year. The
House reduced this by $950-
million setting a ceiling equal to
the fiscal year 1973 level, plus a
4.5 inflation increase. The bill
also provides for a reduction in

from 1973. It also reduced the
military reserve strength by
66,544 less than last year. The
bill also authorized the average
military training student load
(including active and reserve
components) of 376,280 man
years 520 fewer than
requested.
A very controversial bill was
the approval of the Trans-
Alaskan Pipeline. This bill, in
view of the extreme emergency
as it relates to our supply of
fuel, caused a majority of the
Members of the House to stand
firm in bypassing the Federal
Courts as well as the ecologists.
A substitute was offered to
delay construction of the
Alaskan line in order to give
consideration to an alternate
route through the nation of
Canada. This, of course, was
defeated, and on final passage
the vote was 356 to 60, and the
only amendments approved
were of a technical nature
which did not change the intent
of the bill.
On the final day before the
recess, the House agreed with
the Senate version of the 1974
farm bill. Basically, the House
Thursday, August 9, 1973
version prevailed although
there were some features of the
compromise which did not meet
the complete approval of some
of us; however, in need of a
sound farm program to
continue the necessary
production of foodstuffs, we felt
that any objections would have
to be outweighed by the
necessity of the bill itself.
On Friday, the Congress
recessed for one month,
including the Senate Watergate
Committee hearings, to the
dismay of some of the relief of
others!
