violinist Mary Freeman Blank-
stein (who is from Rutherford

on the ICC campus in 1977. The
other member is Joseph Seiger,
a faculty member of the
Manhattan School of Music
where he teaches piano and
chamber music.
For their Sunday performance,
the group will play Trio Sonata in
B Minor by Loillet, Trio op. 70 No.

Time To Limit
Congressional Terms
Have you ever wondered why
members of Congress seem to
find it so easy to pass laws to
make our lives more complicated
and expensive? Well, one of the
reasons is that many of the laws
they pass don’t affect them!
That’s right; Congress has
excluded itself from paying
Social Security taxes, practicing
affirmative action in hiring and
of course, paying for postage.
Senator Patrick Leahy of
Vermont, has introduced a bill to
end Congressional exemptions
from the Civil Rights Act, the
Equal Employment Opportunity
Act, the Equal Pay Act, the Fair
Labor Standards Act, the
Occuptational Health and Safety
Act, Social Security Act, Free
dom of Information Act and the
Privacy Act. No wonder those
folks get attached to Washington.
In addition there is a
movement in the land to limit the
number of terms a Senator of
Representative could serve, and
some testimony before a Senate
committee looking into that sum
marizes the problem rather well:
“By limiting service for Mem
bers of Congress, we can
revitalize representative govern
ment by bringing in people who
understand what it’s like to cope
wth federal laws, rules and
regulations, as opposed to the
‘career politician’ who only
knows how to make the laws and
devise the regulations which are
so often the cause for harrass-
ment.” For everyone but the
politician that is, since they
exempt themselves from most of
the laws they pass!

Saluda
Community Club
The Saluda Community Club
was called to order by Rev. Tom
Capell, Feb. 21st at Saluda Fire
Hall after a delicious carry-in
dinner. The hostesses were Cathy
Diggs, Susan Folsom and Lee
Gaudry.
Mr. Capell introduced James
Gilbert, Saluda Fire Chief, who
kept all interested in telling of the
small beginning of Saluda Fire
Department. The one fire truck
purchased in 1926 or 27 lasted
until 1950. With the help of
fund-raising projects, summer
folk donations, and $5000.00 from
the city a used fire truck was
purchased and later a tanker
pump-truck. In the meanwhile,
the present fire station was built.
As the system of communica
tion has been very poor in Saluda,
permission was granted by the
Hendersonville Fire Department
to become affiliated with that
department by using a special
radio system or “beepers”. For
this reason the telephone number
for the residents of Saluda is
changed to 692-3233. Since that
time one fire has occured five
miles from the city and was
promptly extinguished. There
are now 32 members in the
department, including junior
firemen.
Mr. Capell stated that the
Depot Renovation Committee
would meet Tues., March 4.
Mrs. Mary Atkins was congrat
ulated upon being named Fellow
in the American College of
Nursing Home Administration,
which, represents the highest
honor which can be bestowed
upon an administrator.
Mrs. Kilver said that a
“Clean-up Day” would be
announced soon. — Reporter
