July Following Independence Day and the anniversary of Get tysburg, the latter half of July could hardly be so interest ing, historically; yet several late July anniversaries are worthy of mention, , ' Florida Was ceded to the United States on the 17th in 1819, to become' a state in 1845 (the Seminole Indians having been defeated in the meantime). The state had first been settled by French Presbyterians but the Spanish drove them out in 1565 and held the territory almost two hundred years until the English gave Spain Cuba in exchange for Florida. The Spanish regained Florida eighteen years later and held it until the United States obtained possession peacefully thirty-eight years later. .v..-.'- The third week in July has long been noted as the time of the ripening of cherries (and the Cherry Festival) in the - Tarverse City, Michigan area, dating from 1905 when B.J. Morgan planted the first cherries in the region. John Rutledge, second Chief Justice of the United States, f. died July 23rd, 1800-he was born in Charleston but the date is, not known.iThe 24th is Pioneer Day in Utah; it is Morman Pioneer, Day in Idaho. (Frontier Day is also ob served iri Cheyenne, Wyoming.) Some still observe the Anniversary of Crater Day in Vir ginia (Petersburg), dating from the battle on July 30th, 1864, when defenders repulsed a Union assault touched off by a spectacular underground explosion which devastated Confederate lines. The powerful Jesuit movement is remembered on the 31st, the anniversary of the death of Inigo Lopez de Recalde in , 1556 in Rome, who had founded the militant order to restore the authority of Catholicism and counter the Protestant Reformation; B.J.

WITH THE TUBE there was an element of peace. Without TV there was ten sion, physical aggression, quarrelling. It is reported that love lives went down and wife beating went up. A SAD CONCLUSION could be that we in the United States, like those in the study, are a sack of television addicts. ALL OF THIS would tend to make the TV industry quite prosperous, and their . creative mills are clicking, clicking along. Even if the mills stopped, would the viewer turn off a bland, stumbling, show? Would we be willing to endure the ini tial jolt to our personality? Would we rather watch TV or beat our wives? BE CAREFUL! Don't touch that dial! You may psychologically damage yourself. ' . THE SOCIETY for Ration al Psychology in Munich, Germany, paid 184 constant TV viewers to abruptly give up television. The Society then carefully viewed the non-viewers.

Washington Shortly before the Senate recessed for the Democratic National Convention, I introduced a bill, S. 3750, to protect the con stitutional rights of American citizens by prohibiting the Armed Forces from collecting information or conducting surveillance of persons unaf filiated with the Armed Forces. The introduction of this legislation became necessary by reason of the recent Supreme Court decision in Ta turn against Laird. The background of this case is this. Due to widespread civil disorders in the summer of 1967 and the disturbances following the assassination of Dr. . Martin Luther King, the Army at the President's order, engaged in a great deal of in telligence gathering on civilian activities thought to be harmful to the country. This data was fed into more than a dozen regional and national "record centers; The petitioners claimed that, the Army distributed: derogatory in formation about them to military and criminal in vestigative agencies. Basically, the data described individuals and organizations who publicly objected to governmental policies. The petitioners asserted that these domestic activities of the Army went far beyond any legitimate military need, exceeded the Army's statutory authority, inhibited political participation and debate, and deprived them and others of the right of free speech and association and other basic liberties. Whether one agrees or disagrees with the activities of the petitioners is not the point at issue. In handing down the decision, I think the Court unwisely ignored the serious harm that military surveillance has caused and continues to COMMENTARY , COMPLETE non-TV view ing resulted in more movie attendance, more reading, and playing games more of ten.

This is regrettable because fhi controversy is not ar imaginary one, As Justice Douglas points out in, hit dissent, the case involved people who were targets of the Army '8 surveillance, and the information gathered "was not casual but. massive and com prehensive." The hearings which the Senate Constitutional Rights Subcommittee held on this subject substantiate this con clusion and more. Often, the Army's information was highly inaccurate , and sometimes nothing more than unverified gossip and rumor. The damage was often incalculable, but nearly always tangible. In dividuals lost their employment and got bad security reports which are difficult to eradicate from the records. The difficulty with Presidential orders of this nature is that they -harken back to type of controls which President Truman sought to exercise when he seized the steel mills during the Korean War. The Supreme Court then struck down that order saying that it could not "be sustained as an exercise of the President's military power as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces." The petitioners in Laird against Tatuni have made clear the constitutional harms to themselves and all other Americans. It is one thing to protect the country against civil disobedience and quite another thing to use a massive net to catch anyone who may en tertain any political notion which the Army deems against the public good. The Court by no means decided that military sur veillance is constitutional in its 5 to 4 opinion. The majority did suggest that the appropriate remedy was probably legislative. Since I have very strong feelings on this subject, I have introduced S. 3750, and am hopeful that the Congress will take cognizance of the need to insure that this sort of sur veillance by the military does not. happen again at the pleasure of the Executive branch of our Government. a .3 S3 S3 SUPER DOLLAR CAFETERIA AAENU 13 4 THURSDAY Country Style Steak Creamed Potatoes Garden Peas OR Roast turkey' Dressing Creamed Potatoes 63 FRIDAY Fresh Fish or Bar-B-Q French Fries Slaw Hush Puppies ti5 SATURDAY Goulash French Fries Toss Salad ' OR Ham Steak Cream Potatoes String Beans Apple Rings Corn Bread or Rolls.

Crop Reporting Service. : The report also noted a marked decrease in small grain production but a sizeable gain in cotton plantings! , Flue-cured iobacco is forecast at 657 million pounds 55 million short of last year's outturn - the Service said, based on conditions around July 1. Indicated production is the second smallest : since the acreage-poundage program started in 1965 and acreage for harvest is the smallest since 1916. About 332,000 acres will be harvested-2 percent less than in 1971. An average yield of 1.980 pounds per acre is indicated, well below last year's average of 2.102 pounds. Much tobacco was stunted by cold, cloudy and wet weather during May. Conditions during the past several weeks have generally favored the- crop. All belts in the State show declines in production prospects compared with 1971: type 11 dropping to 239 million from 260 million; type 12, to 330 from 355 million; type J3. to 88 from 98 million. The ll.S. flue-cured crop is forecast at 1.019 million pounds, 5 percent less than the 1.078 million produce in 1971. Lower small grain prospects are attributable to declines in both acreages and yields. Winds and rains on June 19-21 associated with tropical depression Agnes hit small grains just at maturity and damaged them severely. A wheat crop of 8.3 million bushels is indicated compared with 11.6 milliop in 1971. Oats production is estimated at 3.8 million bushels, about half that of last year. Barley is expected to produce 2.8 million bushels compared with 4.1 million in 1971. Rye is placed at 280,000 bushels versus 322,000 a year ago, -.Official production forecasts for corn, soybeans, sorghum grains, cotton, and peanuts for the State will not be made until August.

For soybea ns a nea r-record of about 1.095.000 acres will be harvested for beans this year. This is 17 percent more than the estimated 936.000 acres com bined in 1971. Sorghum for harvest for all purposes is placed at 110.000 acres far below last year's record 1GO.0OO acres. Y Peanuts planted alone for all purposes are estimated at 170.000 acres. Plantings are about the same as during the past several years, reflecting allotments at the legal minimum. Estimated cotton plantings in N.C, at 220.000 acres, are 26.000 above 1971. For the nation, plantings at 13,832.000 acres are up 12 percent. First estimates of cotton acreage for harvest and production will be released August 10. according to agricultural officials. The State's sweet potato crop is forecast at 3.1 million hun dredweight, slightly below last year's 3.3 million. Commercial apple production is set at a near-record 230 million pounds compared to 190 million produced in 1971. Other estimated for the U.S. show corn acreage to be off 10 percent and projected production (adjusted for trends) down 9 percent to 5.0 billion bushels. An alltime high U.S. soybean acreage is estimated, up 8 percent with projected production at 1,277 million bushels, up 9 percent. Sorghum grain acreage is 17 percent lower and projected production down 15 percent. Peanut acreage is about ihe same but projected production is up 3 percent. ptlE-SGASOrj AMD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF: Lowest Prices Free Home Survey No Payments 'Til 30 Days After Installation westinghouse 5000 BTU Air Conditioner Westinghouse 15000 BTU Room Air Conditioner 24,000 BTU CM.

Whenever she hears of a sale with articles marked down below their original cost she can't get to the store quick enough to get these bargains.

She imagines she is saving money but I say she is throwing money away. We have two pressure cookers, two coffee perco lators etc., etc. What can I do with a wife like this one? Bemused Col.
