rated against it. So did Senator
Boey. I feel that the construction
nf this project would do a lot to
disturb our expanding port facili
ties. As you know, North Caro
lina has spent over seven millions
of dollars in our port projects.
There are many other reasons why
the project Seemed unnecessary.
The Senate passed the Bill 51 to
33, It now is up to the House of
Representatives.
SCHOOL BILL
I joined with Senator McClellan
and a number of other Senators
in the introduction of a bill to pro
vide for Federal assistance to the
states in the construction of pub
lic elementary and secondary
school facilities. Under the pro
posed bill, North Carolina would
be helped. Our schools need it to
take care of the rapidly expand
ing school population. We pre
pared the bill to eliminate any
danger of Federal control and
supervision of the public school
systems of the several states. My
thinking is that some of the money
we are now spending overseas for
economi" aid can be put to good
use in this country where the
greatest need for assistance ex
ists. The bill is patterned after
the Hill-Burton Act which has done
so much for our folks in the hos
pital and public health field.

which would allow tax exemption
for all retired employees with re
tirement incomes up to $125 per
month. This hill is being studied
by the House Ways and Means
Committee and I think it is sound.
It seems unfair to tax retired
folks who have such a little
amount of money anyway.
LETTER CARRIERS
Delegates of the North Carolina
Letter Carriers Association came
by to see me last week. They
were from all parts of North Car
olina. As I am a member of the
Post Office and Civil Service Com
mittee, they felt that I should have
the benefit of their thinking about
salary increases. 1 was glad to
see them. I told them how im
portant all postal workers, includ
ing rural carriers, are and how
they represent Uncle Sam. I think
we are all proud of what the pos
tal workers and rural carriers are
doing, and I am anxious to see
that they are treated fairlv.
VISIT TO OXFORD
I am looking forward to my visit
Friday night in Oxford. The To
bacco Experiment Station there
has done outstanding work. The
people here in Washington speak
most highly of it and they point
out it’s the largest in the world.
Dr. D. M Crooks, head of the
tobacco section of the Agricultural
Research Service, came by my of
fice to invite me to sec what is
being done in the way of tobacco
research at lleltsville, Maryland.
I accepted the invitation. He
knows of my interest in research.
I believe it can go a long way to
ward solving our agricultural sur
plus problem.
THIS-AND-THAT
Last week, 1 had the pleasure
of taking ten Roy Scouts from the
Occoneechee Council in North
Carolina in to visit the Vice-Pres
ident. They were fine representa
tives of youth and the outstanding
work Scouting is doing. They were
visiting Washington with theii
District Scout Director, Mr. Rus
sell McLean of Dunn . . . One oi
my Senate colleagues found him
self driving a taxi the other morn
ing during a snowstorm in order
to get to work. The taxi drivei
was pushing the car and when they
got it started, the Senator just
kept on driving for fear they would
stall again. . . . The budget breaks
down roughly into these chunks
of the tax dollar: 68 cents for ma
jor national security; 22 cents for
charges fixed by law such as in
terest, veterans, grants to states
and 10 cents for other items. The
income is planned this way: 43
cents from individual income tax
es; 31 cents from corporation in
come taxes; 16 cents from excise
taxes, 6 cents from customs and
other taxes. That leaves four
cents, which, according to the
President, will have to be bor
rowed.
Valley Springs
Nips Warriors
Valley Springs won both ends
of a twin bill from Swannanoa
Friday evening. The girls won
from the Squaws easily, 56 to 26,
while the boys had tougher going
before emerging with a 53 to 40
decision.
The Squaws made things inter
esting for the first half and were
behind only 23-16. But the VS
lassies broke into full stride in the
final sessions to build up the mar
gin to 30 points. Smith tossed in
14 points for Swannanoa.
Valley Springs went ahead in
the boys’ struggle 22-14 at half
time but were pressed to the end
by a surprisingly strong Swan
nanoa five. High scorers for the
Warriors were Bell, 17, Allen, 10,
and Wiikerson and McCraw 8 each.

to read in Collin’s magazine the
article “Speak Out Silent People,’
which tells us shocking news oi
our schools’ condition. More anc
more today our children are de

other pupils to get their work for
them am| are reading comic books
rather than good literature.
It’s up to the parents to show
an interest in what the children
are doing in school to check on
their writing, their ability to d<
arithmetic problems and not just
look at report cards and criticize 01
praise. Visit your schools. Talk
with the teachers, and learn what
your children are doing. You may
be shocked to find that your child
is not learning! We must train
them to think and be resourceful.
Children must be made to under
stand that learning brings satis
faction to a person and equips
him to live and understand the
