Inside Look At The U.N. . By Congressman L. H. FOUNTAIN WASHINGTON, D. C. . . . . Every year two Member* of the Congress are named to the American Delegation repre senting the United States at the annual meeting In New York of the General Assem bly of the United Nations. This year, upon the recom mendation of the Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and In turn the Speaker of the House, the President nominated me as one of the two Members for this Important assignment. Although honored by this ap pointment, which I did not seek and which re<julres Sen ate confirmation, I will glad ly accept It but with mixed emotions. Naturally, any American should be proud to represent his country In a world forum of nations, re gardless of any reservations he may have about the forum and Its accomplishments. I say "mixed emotions" be cause I have not been happy with the performance of the U. N. over the years. Neither have you. In fact, I have been one of Its most severe critics. Most of us had great hopes for the U. N. when It was first organized In 1945. We were tired of war, Just as we are today. We wanted peace. Unfortunately, our hopes did not come true. Over the years the U. N.'s minuses have seemed to outnumber the pluses. Several countries, Including France and the Soviet Union, still refuse to pay their share of the U. N. budget. A number of both old and new countries to whom we have contributed so much ? billions In fact ? often vote against us. We have only one vote, but we foot the bill for almost one-third of the U. N. budget, and some of that money goes Into International programs over which we have no control. The Secretary General, U Thant, has taken sides open ly with the Communist bloc on the Vietnam problem. These are Just a few o. the many minuses. I could not be honest, however, as a O.N. critic, If I did not look at the other side. The U. N. Is the only world wide forum where lines of communication are kept open between most countries, In cluding friend and foe. J, therefore, welcome this chance to see U. N. oper ations from an Inside van tage point. Then I can judge for myself how the U. N. serves the Interests of the American people and of world peace. In addition, I look forward to the opportunit y of sharing In the formulation and execu tion of American policy, and defending It from attack when I think It Is right. Still, I would approach this work with the utmost serious ness, holding in reserve In ?very way possible whatever ATTENTION MR. FARMER Let us fill your ASCS pur chase orders for seed and fertilizer. Lime spread on your field for only 17.50 per ton. L H. DICKENS ~ & SON Rout* 2, Louisburg, N. C. 853-2117 skepticism I have about the future ol the U. N. I Intend to be as honest, as Independ ent and constructive a critic as I can. The Middle East situation is high on the U. N. agenda this (all. My experience as Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Near East should prove ex ceedingly useful in this area. Qncldentally, my burden will be much heavier for a while, because I will be traveling back and forth between Wash ington and New York and the District. However, I expect to be in Washington for all key and especially highly con troversial votes.) We hear more and more calls for the U. N. to try to find a solution to the Vietnam war. While I have serious quest ions as to what the U. N. can or should do toward bring ing about an honorable settle ment of that painful and costly struggle, I certainly Intend to explore with others the possibilities. We need to see If U. N. facilities can, In American best Interests, properly and wisely be used toward that end. I have no mature opinion on whether or not It can suc ceed. But If It refuses to even make an attempt, It could well be a new beginning of the end of the United Nations as as Instrument of International policy. With thousands of Americans dying in Vietnam, I feel that If in some small way I can contribute to abetter and more peaceful world, Iwanttodoso. And falling to do so, I would be derelict In my duty to you, the Congress and to the entire country. At least, I expect to try, and I sincerely hope that I will have your support and your prayers. by THoMPSoN On a single roll op microfilm, MEASURING 100-FEET IN LENGTH, IT IS POSSIBLE TO PRESERVE 10 ISSUES OF THE SUNPAV " NEW >- 2 YORK TIMES"- AVERAGING APOUT 62>0 PAGES ?',/// "" // I In ONE MICXOSBCOHP, TO PAY'S MOST POWERFUL COMPUTERS ARE A?LE TO CARRY OUT AN ARITHMETICAL OPERATION -- OR A TOTAL OF 1,000 ,000 SUCH OPERATIONS EVERY SECOND.'

Meals ''would be better if there were fewer recipes and more home cooking. r About Your Home In most sections of the U.S.A. the gardens are In a very unattractive stage. However, In order to be happier over next spring and summer's re sults, now is the time to put In some har<J work and plan ing. Make a compost pit, which Is very easy and an lmport ant "must" for Impoverished soils. Simply dig a pit one to three feet deep and five or six feet in diameter, de pending on the amount of com post needed. Arrange al ternating layers of leaves, weeds, stalks and manure. Add to this a quart or so of a good commercial fertilizer. Moisten and turn frequently. Allow thorough decomposition before using. Start new beds at this time by Incorporating manure and bone meal deep In the soil and allowing the soil to re main turned until spring. Al so, put wood ashes on beds to be dug under next spring. Perennial borders should be mulched after the ground Is frozen or very, very cold. Some reliable mulches are buckwheat hulls, leafmold and peat moss. In many parts of the coun try It is, or soon will be, rose-planting time. Good plants- must be chosen In the first place to have rewarding blooms. Remember, not all varieties are hardy. Select the varieties which experts have found can stand your climate. Good, strong variet ies are not often bothered by Insects or diseases. Japa nese beetles are not attracted to red ones quite so much as to the light colored ones. i l. JAYCEE TURKEY SHOOT 12 NOON TIL 9 P.M. .
