I voted in favor of giving
cht President an additional one
year authorization to impose
price and wage controls and
againet a proposal to impose a
Congressional freeze which wo
uld roll back prices to the level
of March 16. Certainly all of
us would like to have prices
back at die level of March 16.
In fact, we would like to be
able to roll them back 10 or
90 years.
But a rollback would require,
for example, a fanner with
chickens that he has fed on high
priced feed since March 16 to
sell diem at a price which does
not reflect all of the increases
he had had to pay. I pointed
out 00 January 16 that 1 did

I voted against diverting hi
ghway funds for urban mass
transit such as rail and bus
systems. I feel that this would
be a breach of faith with the
highway users who have peid
gasoline tax for the avowed
purpose of completing our ba
sic federal highway system.
Contrary to some argument,
there is no "surplus" in this
fund.
If federal tax dollars are
going to assist in the funding
of urban transit systems, they
should be authorised and appro
priated from the general fund;
not funds collected from taxes
levied on gasdllne to build hi
ghways.

Family Should Discuss
Handling Death Crisis
RALEIGH?All of us
make special prepara
tions for the addition of
a new baby or a new son
or daugfiter-in-law into
a family. But it Is lust
as important to prepare
for the subtraction of a
life.
Although we do not
plan to die, we need to
get ready for the troubles
that death makes in
a family, believes Leo
Hawkins, extension fam
ily life specialist. North
- Carolina State Uni
versity. For how you
members face tin the
event of death is making
decisions about a funeral.
The more plans you make
ahead of time, the wiser
your decisions will be,
the specialist points out.
Family members
should talk about and
make tentative decisions
concerning where they
wish to be burled. They
should say what they want
concerning future funeral
&i'f angements.
In addition, both of the
couple should be aware
of family - - financial
affairs.
Each person should
know total income and
sources; insurance pol
icies and local agents;
other securities and
agents; other legal
papers such as property
deeds and tax receipts;
location of will and any
personal instructions;
cash available not in Joint
account or Jointly owned
safety deposit box; family
lawyer and financial
consultant; and cleric of
the court, who handles
some of the precedings.
Also think about what
provisions you can make
to help the remaining
family with finances if
the breadwinner dies.
Remember, too, it would
cost money to replace the
services provided by a
wife and mother.
Education and train
ing are good insurance.
advises the specialist.
It is also a good idea
to think about the dif
ferent housing arrange
ments the family may
have to make. The more
possibilities you can
figure out ahead of time,
the easier it is to make
a wise choice later.
Sometimes widowed
persons make hasty deci
sions immediately after
the death of a mate. They
may sell the house and
learn too late that it was
a mistake. Or the family ?
may agree to buy a house
without thinking through
their finances.
Any of these factors
that can be decided in
advance will ease the
burdens that death makes
in the family, the
specialist concludes.
RALEIGH ? With
One
good way la to prepare
the meat you buy at a
low temperature so that
it dooan't shrink, says
Mrs, Ruby Uasle, exten
sion consumer marketing
?hconomist, North Caro
lina State University.
Meat does shrink
somewhat aa it cooks,
but low temperature
keeps the shrinkage to
a minimum. If you use
a meat thermometer, you
won't overcook the good
meat you buy. And you'll
?* save meat flavor and keep
it juicy at the same time,
The next way to
, stretch the meat you
buy is to use all of
it. Refrigerate meat
promptly when you get
home from the market.
Then be sure to refrig
erate the leftovers
promptly.

? Does your teen-ager think
he's seen and done "every
thing?" That there's nothing
left unexplored for him to
conquer?
Psychologists and sociolo
gists say it's a familiar syn
drome these days. Some of
them blame the media, espe
cially TV. Youngsters grow
up having the whole world

rooms every day in living

But the experience ? pas
sive. And that's why they get
bored with it all
80 many educators are now
recommending an active alter
native: taking teen-agers out
into the world itaelf through
summer foreign study travel
programs.
One long-established edu
cational publisher, Scholastic
Magazines, set up Scholastic
International for just that pur
pose. It now has programs in
ten countries of Western Eu
rope, plus Israel, Kenya, and
the Soviet Union. Study
themes range from'TheSearch
for Values" and "The Spirit
of Western Man" to foreign
language programs, science,
music, and the performing
arts. 1
Moat educators stress that
teen-agers get more out of
traveling abroad with an or
ganized study program than
they do "winging it" on their
own. Accommodations and
meals are assured (something
a "backpacker" is rarely sure
of). And the study programs
are tailored especially for teen
interests-bringing students in
to direct contact with experts
in different fields they could
never encounter on their own.

It is estimated that
we waste two-thirds of
a pound of food per
person per day In the
United States. Mrs. Uixle
adds. Don't do that if
you want to stretch the
family food dollar.
When you think of
stretching the meat you
buy these days, you may
also think of adding other
foods to make it seem
like more.
The "stretcher" may
be vegetables, either dry
or fresh, or a
starchy food. And the
"stretcher" varies in
cost and food value, too.
Sometimes we pay a
high price for having the
I "stretcher" and the
spices measured out for
us. We call it
convenience.
Potatoes and veg

bacon bits, along with the

the gravy or sauce to give

FEED FACTORS
Factors that have
contributed to the high
cost of livestock feed In
the U, S. are not all of
domestic origin. Some
of the major factors are
weather problems and
short crops in foreign
nations. Drouths have or
will cut harvests in South
Africa and India, for
example. Australia's
December wheat harvest
was down. Unfavorable
weather caused the Soviet
Union to plant 17 million
fewer acres to winter
wheat than its planting
goal.
HOME DRUGS
In 1970. Americans
were "dropping" aspirin
at the rate of 20-30 tons
per day. And they were
having prescriptions
filled at about one billion
a year or five for every
man, woman and child.
CEREALS NO. 1
1 Most of the world's
; population relies on high
carbohydrate foods suci
as cereals, sugar, roots,
tubers and plantains, for
a major share of its diet.
Cereals are the most
important, directly
accounting for almost
two-thirds of the average
per capita calorie intake
in the Far East and nearly
half in the Soviet Union
and Eastern Europe.
Rice and wheat are
consumed in the largest
quantities.
TURKEY PRICES
Turkey prices have
risen only slightly since
last year, although the
cost of producing them
has climbed 5 to 6 cents
a pound, according to
North Carolina State
University specialists.
Production is expected to
rise about 15 percent the
first half of this
year, probably dampen
