U,4!|| THURSDAY, JULY 14,1949 THE MEWS^OUBNAL rt...- Tarheel In Washington By Lester Baker • • • m' The American Farm Bureau Federation, in voicing the opin ion of its 1,325,000 farm family members, has told Congress that it is opposed to President Tru man’s compulsory national health program. The federation gave four spec ific reasons as to why it opposes the program. These reasons werec “First, there are no facts to prove there is a definite need for such a program. Second, no coun try operating under a compulsory health program has as high a health standard as has this coun try. Third, such a program would be prohibitive in cost. Fourth, the people have not asked for such a program.” The federation did recommend, however, that the government take steps to extend voluntary health plans. In addition, it sug- ■gested federal aid for the promo tion of medical research and ed ucation, federal aid for medical schools, and increased government aid for maternal and child health, crippled children, and the blind. \ ^ WITH NEW 3-MINUTE ' .

North Carolinians are greatly proud of the fact that Gordon Gray—who is a triie, full-fledged Tarheel, if ever there was one— has been accorded the honor and token of success which ,he so rightly deserves. I’m referring of course, to hi& appointment as Sec retary of the Army. No doubt Secretary Gray is one of the hardest working men in Washington. He is at,his desk by 7:30 a. m., ,and he doesn’t go home until night. But hard work is no stranger to him. He has always been active, and has vigorously applied all his efforts to make- full use of his abilities. Ber instance, from the Univer- si’.y 'of North Carolina he went to Yale, choosing it because it was 'hough”. After that he worked for a while with a New York law firm, and then went home to V.'inston-Salem to practice law. 1-ie also bought two new'spapers, and -won a seat in the North Car- ohna State Senate. * When World War II broke out, Hr. Gray declined a commission :a ihe Navy, preferring rather to enlist in the Army as a private, b: his estiniation, his military ca reer ■ v.-'as ‘'utterly 'worthesS*’-. . O',', ever, he worked up to the a.m'.’: cf 'Captain, and served over seas under General Omar Brad ley. , But North Carolihians .are not alone in their admiration of Sec retary Gray. A few days ago one Major-General remarked: “Get ting Gray in that job is even bet ter new's than passage of the pay raise would be.” , work next on eliminating the neck. Our Congressmen here sometimes speak of a billion dollars as though it were only piggy bank change. How long do you think it would take a man to count a billion dol lars in silver dollars? Maybe it sounds unbelievable, but, if he Worked eight hoiufs a day seven days a week it would take him 19 years. n Washing is FUN with an EASY!
