Walter B. Jones Reports
IAN weak hi an fctatorta
time this year over rods a
PreaMkwtial veto. This was on
the War Powers bill which
limits any Pteeidsnt’s power to
wage undeclared war. The
Senate vote was 79 to IS; while
the House vote was closer - 384
to 139. It was the first time in
nine tries this year that the
Congress has overridden a veto

not with dollars but with
matters of war and peace. The
House vote was only four more
than required. This legislation
does not prohibit the President
bum use of the troops when he
considers the situation to be an
international crisis. But, he
must report to the Congress
within 48 hours the
circumstances, authority and
scope of the action. The key
provision is that the President
must stop the operation after 60
days unless Congress approves
his action, though he could
continue for 30 more days if
necessary to protect U.S.
forces.
This successful overriding of
a vetothiiy be an Indlcatfott that

again aaeert Itself as an equal
part of the system of checks ands

This office to receiving calls
daily ragardteg the shortage of
many* Items* the most
important being that of fuel.
According to information
furntobed this office of the total
energy sowces, it to as fellows;
Oil—so per cent —33 par cent
of which is produced in the
United States
Coal l5 per cent
Gas 3O ner cent
Hydro Electric 4 per cent
Nuclear Energy —1 per cent
So, it is obvious that we must
develop a greater use of hydro
electric and nuclear and coal
sources of supply. This has been
difficult to do, due to the
opposition of the ecologists on
the expansion of these sources.
As for fee use of our energy,
the breakdown is as follows:
Industrial 43 per cent
Transportation 34 per cent
Residential l9 per cent
Commercial l4 per cent
I am still of the opinion that
the only possible solution would
.be to go to mandatory
allocations as soon as feasible,
for only in this manner could
there be a fair distribution of
our energy sources.
The Congress sometimes is
called upon to pass on
legislation which to say the
least, is unusual. Last week, the
House approved a bill to permit
two Iranians to attend the U.S.
Naval Academy at the expense
of the Iranian* government. It
might be that since Iran is one
source of oil supply, the bill
encountered little opposition.

Chapel in 1735-1805 and Swain’s
Chapel which was financed in,

Episcopal Bishop, Charles
Pettigrew.
The Washington County
Historical Society has
undertaken preservation of the
church in consideration of its
historic significance and the
Commission on Archives and

to the 21-county area from
which thfrcraftsmen com* for
the Coastal Plata Arte and
Crafts Fair, there are a number
at such rarities
Crafts almost hart to other
areas of the country are still
alive to the Coastal Plato, emits
such as spinning, weaving,
basketry, wicker, furniture
weaving, and a host of others.
Over 70 craftsmen participated
in the Coastal Plain Arts and
Crafts Fair to -be held at
Tarrytown Mall in Rocky Mount
early to November.
to addition to the booths
which were open each day Os the
fair, special demonstrations
were scheduled for the three
days. Cloth collages, needle
weaving, and painting was
demonstrated each day, with
rug hooking and woodcarving
featured on Thursday; bargello
and fabric sculpture, Friday;
and chair bottoming and shell
crafts, Saturday. A full
schedule, of “mini
demonstrations” began with
spinning on Thursday.
A “Country Kitchen” was
filled with baked and canned
goods and, around lunchtime
each day, the smell of country
ham biscuits drifted from the
cooking demonstration area.
These were the extra treats
for craft lovers at this year’s
annual fair, a major pre-
Christmas show and sale of
Juried crafts of the Coastal
Plain. The heart of the fair are
the approximately 75 booths
filled with fine crafts drawn
from the 21-county area which
comprises the Coastal -Plain
Area Development Association
and the North Carolina
Extension District.
B. D. Williams of Rocky
Mount one of the few remaining
craftsmen who were the old
fashioned bow baskets,
handmade all the way from the
oak saplings he cuts himself to
prepare splits for weaving. No
glue or nails sneak into Mr.
Williams’ baskets, just expert
hand weaving strong enough to
last a century. Mr. Williams is
also expert in building wicker
furniture and can rebuild a
wicker antique to the exact
pattern of the original,
curlicues and all, no matter how
ornate.

Mrs. A. G. Strickland, also of
Garysburg, is another
craftsman who has revived an
old art rarely seen in the
machine age. Weaving pine
needles, she fashions baskets,
trays, bottle covers, and a
variety of other items.
The booth of Frances
Tarleton of Tarboro was a
children’s paradise. Her
handmade toys and dolls delight
child and mother alike.

Moore for the eooNructkm of

Twentythousandrioliars .There
is no consideration for Moore’s
promise to pay the additional
sum. s
Most courts hold that a
promise of additional
compensation for the
performance of a contract
which the promisee is already
under an obligation to perform,
is without consideration. The
promisee sustains no detriment
for the extra - pay and the
promisor obtains no benefit. It
is merely an application of the
general rale; “An agreement to
do what one is already bound to
do is without consideration.”
All 'courts agree that ft a
promisee is required to do
something in addition to or
different from that acquired by
the old contract, there is a
sufficient consideration to
support a promise of extra
compensation.
\
The consideration may be, for
example, the promise of a
contractor to finish the work
before the time originally
agreed upon.
