| Mother's Day Sunday is a very special day along the Public Parade and throughout the country. It’s Mother’s Day! Rev. Preston Cayton has sent the following “Tribute To Woman” which we are pleased to share with you for Mother’s Day, 1982: She was the last at the cross. The first at the tomb on Easter Morning. She was the only one to wash the Masters feet with the tears from her eyes and wipe them with her hair. Most of all the other beautiful things in life come by twos and threes, by dozens and hundreds. Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rainbows, brothers and sisters, aunts and cousins, but only one mother in the whole world. Give her the flowers while she is living with kind words and good deeds. The hands that rocks the cradle are the hands that rule the world. Rep. Walter B Jones Non-News Items There is a lot of non - news circulated along the Public Parade, most of it being passed about via the rumor mill. Like most everything else non - news falls into various categories. In the case of an item which passed across our desk over the weekend > is the one dealing with Rep. Walter B. Jones of the First Congressional District. It has gotten to be nOn - news when Rep. Jones announces every two years that he is a candidate for re - election. Even the Republicans can’t work up enough enthusiasm to take on the amicable congressman. Rep. Jones has endeared himself throughout the 21 - county district, which is larger than several entire states. He has done his work both professionally and successfully. And during the nine terms he has served with great distinction, he has compiled a record of constituent service second to none in the entire U.S. * Congress. Rep. Jones is sensitive to the needs of the people he represents. He is sincere to the point of being foolish about his dedication to service and his unwaivering op position to sacrificing principle at : any price. His success comes through friendly persuasion rather than screaming and yelling. And no matter which affects the United States in general and the First Congressional District in par ticular is taken lightly. The genial congressman, whose wife is an Edentonian, now is chairman of one of the 14 standing committees in the House of t Representatives. This| is a signal honor for the man, but it speaks of the wisdom of the electoriate which has elected him over and over again, allowing him to ac cumulate seniority. There are 11 congressmen from the Tar Heel State and Rep. Jones is the only one among them to chair a full committee. Furthermore, he is the $ ranking member of the House Subcommittee on Tobacco and Peanuts. Sen. Jesse Helms, along a member -of the opposition party, highly praises Rep. Jones for his service to our country. Sen. Helms has been quoted as saying that Rep. Jones was the unsung hero of last year’s successful campaign to * maintain a tobacco program Continued On Page 4 A 1 ; 'jm Allan B.
