"The reason Hot Dog loves an automobile and uses it for a place of refuge In time of trouble is because he once belonged to Mrs. Gooding, and as a puppy rode around with her in a Rambler station wagon, which also served as his playpen and sanctuary. When Mrs. Gooding moved. Hot Dog came to live with me. He is afraid of thunder and does get in any available car when frightened. "You will remember the language of the Scripture in kSichltis said. 'Raise up a child ( In the way that he should go and c when he is old he will not ^Ihink that the same rule might be applied in (Ma in stance.

Congressman Charlie Whitley To Attend Tobacco Hearing In Smithfield Congressman Walter B. Jones, Chairman of the House Tobacco Subcommittee, has an nounced that the subcommittee will hold the second of a series of current hearings in Smithfield on Friday. August 4. According to Jones, the purpose of the hearings is to receive testimony and establish a record on th~ subject of the economic impact in the tobacco producing areas, which would result from the termination of the price support and control program. "The initial hearing in the teries was held in Valdosta, Ga. on Friday, July 21. and a final field hearing will probably be held later in the fall in Virginia or Kentucky," Jones added. In a floor debate last year with Congressman James Johnson of Colorado, Jones assured Johnson that if Johnson's pro posed amendment to abolish the program was not pressed at that time, full hearings on the economic impact of the program would be held. Th? series will conclude probably early in 1979 with a hearing in Washington. Jones stressed that the hear ings are not being held to receive testimony regarding the value of the program to farmers who directly benefit from it, to consider any internal changes in the program, or to debate the smoking and health issue. "These are. of course, matters of interest to us," he said, "but this particular hear ing is to receive testimony purely on the economic impact and 'ripple effect' which would result from termination of the program." Members of the sub committee present will include Charlie Whitley of North Caro J lina's third district, which leads the nation in the production and sale of flue-cured tobacco; Bill Wampler of Virginia, whose district grows burley tobacco, and Keith Sebelius of Kansas, the only non-tobacco area member of the subcommittee.
