ion L.H. FOUNTAIN Reports TO THE PEOPLE WASHINGTON, D. C. . . . f typical day? I was present "at two events vastly different ;but Immensely important to us in the Second District. ? The subjects werethe Roa noke River and Vietnam. I flew down early that morn . ing to_Roanoke Rapids to a hearing called by the Army . Engineers to see if it would ;be feasible to dredge a barge channel from Williamston to the Roanoke Rapids-Weldon area. Arguments expressed in favor of the project were im pressive. A spokesman for a chemical firm said a barge channel could reduce trans portation costs by 50 percent in 15 years. The dramatic savings that a waterway to the coast would make possible were also em phasized by other industrial ists, businessmen, public of ficials and civic leaders. Those savings to industry can easily be translated into benefits for a large portion of Eastern North Carolina. Cheaper transportation costs mean increased production for existing plants, encourage ment for new industry and more jobs for the region. Jobs are the key to any eco nomic progress. Even if the study should in dicate an acceptable benefits to cost ratio, it wouldbesome time before the channel could actually be dredged. But if the Engineers recommend that the project be carried out, I will do everything I can to get Congress to authorize it and thereafter appropriate the necessary funds. Even under the most favor able circumstances, however, these matters are regretful ly long and drawn out. After attending the Roanoke Rapids meeting, 1 flew back to Washington to hear General Westmoreland's stirring speech before a joint session of Congress. Most Americans will agree with his statement that the war In Vietnam can be carried to a victorious conclusion if we maintain our resolve. That is the key: our resolve. As a nation, we have always prided ourselves on seeing a job through. To see this one through, we must give our troops every ounce of support they need. And that Includes our resolve above all. Of course, that resolve also means, among other things, doing whatever needs to be done on land, sea and in the air. Following the Westmore land speech to Congress, I at tended a White House luncheon and further briefing by the General with several Commit tees of Congress, the Cabinet and a number of Governors. Although on that occasion he gave us a good deal of detail ed information about the war, he still emphasized the need for a united country. Reports from Hanoi, he said, indicate that North Vietnam is putting considerable hope on the lack of or failure of our resolve. We of course cannot let that happen.

SENIOR CITIZENS DAY The observance of May as Senior Citizen Month began in 1957, ten years ago, when Governors of 39 states issued proclamations designating May as Senior Citizens Month, marking the first nationwide observance. In 1958, May was observed day, after the White House briefing, I flew back to the second District and spoke to the Tarboro Junior Chamber of Commerce. as Senior Citizens Month in 41 states. In 1959, 43 states. In 1960, 1961 and '62, 48 states observed Senior Citi zens Month. In 1963, President Kennedy oecame the first President to proclaim May as Senior Citi zens Month. On March 26, 1964, Presi dent Johnson signed a proclamation naming May Senior Citizens Month, urging that all citizens make "oppor tunities for older Americans to become a living reality." The purposes of Senior Citi zens Month are: * to honor senior citizens. * to m ake their needs known. * to publicize services that are available to them. * to mobilize support for general programs for senior citizens. * to encourage communities and organizations to do more. 1 * to recognize the talents of senior citizens. * to provide opportunities for older Americans to con tribute their experience, skills and wisdom. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old by deserting their needs, their ideas. Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear and despair,?these bow heads and turn the growing spirit back to dust. As Senior Citizens, "Live every day of your life as though you expect to live for ever."

Two Former Warreiifon Women Presented Awards Two alumnae of Peace Col lege who have Warren County ties were honored with Dis tinguished Alumnae Awards si the annual Alumnae Day luncheon on May 6. Mrs. Wright Tlsdale, Bloomfleld Hills, Michigan (nee Marlam Boyd of Warrenton, N. C.); and Mrs. Reece Berryhlll, Chapel Hill, N. C. (the former Norma Connell of Warren County) were recipients of these awards. A resume of some of the accomplishments of the two Warrenton women, with com ments, was released by the college this week as follows : MARIAM BOYD TISDALE In the 1938 LOTUS, there are many photogenic girls. Among the photographs are two of much interest to us today?one of a charming girl in an evening dress, a mem ber of the Junior Class; the other an attractive girl wear ing what appears to be a tuxedo coat and bow tie, as a member of Phi Theta Mu of which she was secretary. Both photographs carry the name Mariam Boyd, Warrenton, North Carolina. After two years at Peace College, Mrs. Tlsdale spent two years at Salem College?one In liberal arts and another in business. Then she put her training to use for she worked as book keeper-cashier in her father's tobacco auction warehouse and later as an engrossing clerk in the North Carolina Legis lature of 1941, On her marriage to Wright Tlsdale, of Taunton, Massa chusetts, in 1942, Mrs. Tls dale made her home in New York City for eleven years before the family moved to Michigan. Mrs. Tisdale has written, "Most of my time in the last twenty-five years has been spent being a wife and mother, and that is what I am most happy doing." She enjoys golf and fishing with her family. She gardens, cooks, sews, knits, does needlepoint, and finds time for bridge. The Tisdales have two sons, Wright Tisdale, Jr., who last summer married a North Carolina girl, Kay Holland, of Gastonia, and Norwood Boyd Tisdale, a student. Mrs. Tisdale's husband is vice-president and general counsel for Ford Motor Com pany, yet he finds time to serve on many Boards and Committees, among them the Peace College Board of Visi tors.

She has had a part in raising funds for the United Fund, Cancer Society, Birmingham Com munity House, and the Meadow Brook Music Festival. Mrs. Tisdale, Peace Col lege Is proud ol you, your high standards and your generous, kindly spirit. Your alma mater Is proud to name you a distinguished alumna. NORMA CONNE1X BERRYHILL Norma Connell Berryhlll (Mrs. Reece Berryhlll of Chapel Hill, North Carolina) was born In Warren County and was one of nine children. She was graduated from Peace College, The University of North Carolina with a Soci ology Major?and did graduate work at Columbia University? where she lived In the East Side Settlement House working with newly arrived foreign women who were striving to obtain their citizenship papers. she spent several years as Dean of Girls at Central High School In Char lotte. She married Dr. ReeceBer ryhlll in 1930. At that time, he was resident physician and instructor at the University Hospital at Western Reserve School of Medicine in Cleve land, Ohio. While in Cleve land, Mrs. Berryhlll worked with the newly formed Girls' Bureau, a division which had charge of the work with de linquent girls. Dr. Berryhlll accepted a position at the University of North Carolina as Director of Student Health and a member of the faculty of the School of Medicine in 1933, so the fami ly came to Chapel Hill where they have spent the rest of their lives. Dr. Berryhlll became Dean of the School of Medicine in 1943 and retired In 1966, after rendering out standing service to the Uni versity of North Carolina during a great expansion period of the Medical School. His work there brought him national recognition profes sionally. During these years, Mrs. Berryhlll kept pace with the professional advancement of her husband, and made a note worthy contribution herself to the University of North Caro lina. Mrs. Berryhlll has made many contributions totheUnl ver sity. She became the moving spirit and organizing president of the University Women's Club, which has ren dered a great service to the University. Again, as wife of the Dean of the Medical School (for 23 years) she has shown a great concern for helping faculty wives In the School of Medicine to adjust happily to Chapel Hill. She organized and acted as unofficial coun sellor to the undergraduate Medical Student Wives As sociation. Similarly, she took the lead in setting up the or ganization known as the House Affairs Club for wives of in terns and residents. Her services to the Uni versity of North Carolina and its Medical School did not end with the retirement of her husband. She was on the or ganizational committee for the -.v-1 Women's Auxiliary of the North Carolina Memorial Hospital; working ten years. As a Pink Lady, she still serves on the Board. She has been Interested in and had a responsible part In many other national and local enterprises. She has served on the Board of Directors of tha Tuberculosis Society since 1934, directing the T. B. Christmas Seal Sale in 1934. During the Second World War, she was a Gray Lady with the American Red Cross, working in thePre-fllghtHos pital. She has been active In the church work of the Women of the Chapel Hill Presby terian Church. She has always been Interested in and loyal to Peace College, has served most ably in alumnae offices and on the advisory com mittee. During these active years, Mrs. Berryhill's home oc cupied first place in her in terest. She and Dr. Berryhill have two daughters and five grandchildren. A woman of courtesy, charm and graciousness, she is cap able, versatile and energetic. She is interested in her fellow man and is never too busy to stop and do any good deed pos sible. Probably her most prized evaluation is that given by her husband, "Our work could not have succeeded with out her many contributions." She numbers her friends by the hundreds. By her unusual record of outstanding service, she merits the distinguished alumna award of Peace Col lege. Sir Ernest Swinton . is credited with the invention of the military tank in 1914.
