In the boys game Chowan lost no time at getting down to business, which caused a miserable afternoon for the Colts. In the first inning Chowan crossed the plate nine times off seven hits, while the Colts were unable to rally with bases loaded. The second inning looked to be a repeat of the first when lead off batter Lonnie Bunch smashed a home run over the Colt’s left fielders head. Chowan’s final score of the game also came in the second when Gary Smith scored frm second off a single by Mike Tynch. Albemarle unable to get a man on base was shut out. In the third Chowan’s Dennis Layton hit a double and stole third but was unable to score. Albemarle saw its lone score on a missed play ball by Chowan’s second baseman scoring Jordan from second with one out.

Labor Report Says More Young Gain Job Experience The number of Americans with work experience topped 100 million for the first time, in 1973, according to a special labor force report from the U.S. Department of Labor. The number of 16-year-olds and over who worked at some time during the year increased by 3.2 million, a larger in crease than in any prior year, and more than kept pace with population growth. The rise was among both whites and blacks. Women accounted for 1.9 million of the increase as their number with work experience moved past the 41-million mark; a record 54 per cent of all women in the population worked during 1973. Nearly one-third of all employed women worked part time and they accounted for over half of the rise in the number of women with work experience. The impact of the energy crisis on employment came too late in 1973 to affect substan tially the data for work ex perience, which cover the en tire year. About 1.8 million more persons worked all year at usually full-time jobs in 1973 than in 1972. However, the proportion of workers em ployed all year at full-time jobs was unchanged. Sen.

REPORT FROM WASHINGTON —Just before the Congress went home for its Easter recess, a piece of legislation was passed which will result in piling another enormous chunk of Federal debt upon the backs of the working American taxpayers. Nobody is certain just what this one piece of legislation will cost. Estimates range from $25 billion up to S4O billion. This legislation was raw politics at its worst. Even Senators who supported it were admitting that it was a "Christmas tree"—or, as one of them described it, "an Easter basket." I wish the American people could examine this legislation, and understand the harm it will do to them in terms of inflation and taxation. GIVE-AWAY —It was the old give-away philosophy, gone wild. Millions of Federal checks will be mailed out. All sorts of tax concessions were written into the law in an obvious effort to buy votes in the next election. I am proud that most of the North Carolinians writing to me were not fooled by the promises of something-for nothing. They understand the bad economics of this legis lation. They understand that, as a result of this legislation, their food bills —in fact, the prices they pay for everything— will go up. HYPOCRISY —What bothers me most, however, is the hypocrisy of some people in public office. Some of the most pious speeches about inflation are made by the very Senators and Congressmen who voted for this kind of legislation. When voting records are checked, it becomes clear that the very people in the Congress who have caused inflation are the very ones who go home and make the loudest speeches against inflation. They can't have it both ways. If they are really concerned about inflation, then they must stop voting for every big spending appropriation proposal that comes down the pike. They must join the small minority of us who have been fighting for cutting spending and a balanced Federal budget. AMENDMENT—In the midst of the debate on this measure, I sent forward an amendment to put the matter in perspective. I did not expect my amendment to pass, and it didn't. But it did serve to put the debate in perspective. My amendment called for a reduction in the salaries of Senators, Congressmen and Cabinet Officers. I proposed to reduce our salaries by the exact percentage that the Federal Government fails to balance its budget. I frankly told the Senate that this was an opportunity for Senators to put up or shut up. If we really want to do something to stop inflation, then we must balance the budget. And if the Congress doesn’t want to face up to its respon sibility, then I feel that we ought to be penalized. Only 19 Senators voted for my amendment, which was about what I had expected. One "liberal" Senator came over to my desk in a rage. "Look here," he said, "I can't make ends meet on what I'm making—and here you are proposing that my salary be cut." I suggested to him that he could always resign from the Senate, if his $42,500-a-year salary wasn't adequate. Moreover, I suggested that he think about the hard-working taxpayers who earn only a fraction of what Senators are paid. When he voted against my amendment, he literally shouted. the Little Mint in Eden ton U.S. Senator JESSE ★★ HELMS SJ kl/f // KySS'^MSSBSSSSHBSBSySBi I .

Colorful End May Await Fire Ants Fluorescent dyes may prove to be the death of the imported fire ant. This dangerous insect —a ; hazard to farmers, animals, and crops has brought quaran tine restrictions in six southern states. Previous control efforts have relied largely on insecticides, but some of these are now under attack as environmental hazards. Now a Mississippi State Uni versity scientist has come up with a novel approach for con trolling the ants. In lab tests. Biochemist James Heitz feeds the ants a diet of fluorescent dyes mixed with a sugar solution. When the ants are subsequently exposed to light, the dyes are trans formed into toxic substances that kill the insects in less than four hours. The exact mechanism of how the light and dye act isn’t clear, but scientists believe the com bination results in lethal photo oxidation. The imported fire ant is be lieved to have arrived in this country from South America in about 1919. Besides attacking humans and wildlife, it builds huge mounds that interfere with farm machinery operations. Fire ant populations have been reported in parts of Ar kansas. Florida, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Caro lina, and Texas.
