Firemen Meet The May meeting of the Mays ville Fire Department was held at the cpjnimunity building jast Mon day evening with approximately 35 present. The business session was held first with 3 members being selected to attend the Fireman’s Convention at Charlotte this week. Senator Sam Ervin Says... WASHINGTON — When the vote was taken on the foreign aid au thorization bill last week, I found myself unable to support the mea sure. EVIDENT NAY VOTE — The foreign aid program contains some worthy projects fit for support by the A merican taxpayers. It contains many projects which . I cannot square with sound public policy. To adequately discuss the mear sure is impossible in the space here, but it should be of interest to the taxpayers to know, that the au thorization contained provisions'tor such things as the preservation of the temples of the Egyptians on tjie upper Nile >and the guarantee of private loans to purchasers of homes in South America. The in clusion of such projects, and the enormity of the authorization in dollars, led me to the conclusion that there could 'be no reasonable justification for supporting the au thorization jjill.' I voted against it. Latter, the Senate will appropriate fiinds for foreign aid. I aim hope ful that some of these items can be eliminated. RiEAEISM NOT ro me it is wholly unrealistic tor the Administration to advocate a Foreign aid bill of over four bil lion dollars while at the same time calling tor economy in, gov I am contince<f Jhat too borrowed dollars are befog 1 the foreign aid program .to •- increasing ly designed and administered ef fectively to help develop the areas of the world that are striving to strengthen freedom against com munism. COURAGE NEEDED — If this country feels that it is necessary to put the 'foreign aid program on an ever-expanding and permanent basis, then Congress, the Admin istration and the taxpayers ought to tface up to the reality of the is sue. It will cost more to all of us tvho pay taxes; future generations should not be saddled with the debt that the people and their leaders of today are unwilling to access themselves. NO THEORY — As a Senator of the United States, it is my duty sincerely and honestly to tackle the problems that face the people whom I have the opportunity to represent in part. Requests for more money pour in from all acti vities of government; defense costs increase with regularity; educa tion and other programs to im prove the lot of our country de mand attention.- The money re quests are not theoretical. No pub lic funds can be expended without corning from the taxpayers or from borrowing, and I feel that Presi dent Eisenhower, the Administra tion and the Congress have to share the responsibility for talking a bout economy and failing to prac tice it. The nation will have to make a very important decision in the not too distant future. As I see it, the is whether or not we are demanding at Friendship Homecoming Sunday Morning at 11 New Phones For Pink Hill Section Telephone service for 41 rural families near pink Hill became a reality recently when the telephone lines in that area were placed in service. C. G. Fields, local telephone company manager, said this pro ject involved burying 16.2 miles of cable and constructing 5.5 miles of new pole line costing $26,650. This is one of many rural pro jects being undertaken by the Carolina Telephone Company to provide service to rural areas in its 41-county operating territory. .

To spend for meritorious pro grams is a laudable role of. govern ment; to borrow money to carry on these programs as standard policy is questionable public policy at least. k ■ Automotive Club is Learning About Cars The Jones County 4-H Automotive Club met Tuesday afternoon for its 5th meeting.
