Pi t-Tb ferquliniM Wekly, Hertford, N.C Thursday, Aufutt 2, 1979 Farm Festival Plans Under Way' Final plans were made Monday night for the Young Farmers and Ranchers sponsored Harvest Day to be held Aug. 10 and 11.

Other clubs that will be represented will be the 4-H club, Lion's Club, Home Extension Office, and the American Legion. Anyone wishing to set up a booth should see Paul Smith or Carl Sawyer.

Ribbons will be presented to the winners in the different categories. There will be outside attractions also. Billy Winslow, Ray Winslow, and ! Johnny Corprew will be in charge of this. These attractions will include such things as farm equipment and campers and they will be on display in the high school ballpark. During the celebration, there will be special . attractions for the kiddies as well as a concession stand set up by the 4-H Club. One of the highlights will be a ballgame of the old Albemarle League.

Washington Report Everyone by congressman Walter b.jones During the Farm Festival, there will be a little something to interest everyone. For you girls and ladies of the community that have talents in sewing, needlepoint, crafts, preserving, canning, and other home related abilities, there will be exhibits for these things. The exhibits will be judged and ribbons will be given to the winners in the different categories. Anyone wishing to place an item on exhibit to be judged must bring them to the P.C.H.S. gym between 12 noon and 7 p.m. on Thursday, August 9. No entries will be accepted any later than at that time. The entries will be judged at 9 a.m. on Friday, August 10. These items have to be in Thursday, so they may be judged before noon when the festival is open to the public. The Young Farmers and Ranchers Association encourages everyone to enter in the festivities and hopes to involve the whole county. Please co-operate. For more information concerning the categories which you may enter in, either see last week's Perquimans Weekly or call Barbara Nixon: 426-5266. Airman Graduates Airman Mister S. McNeely, son of Mr. and Mrs. Eddie McNeely of 101 East Aven., Monroe, N.C, has graduated at Lackland AFB, Tex., from the U.S. Air Force security policeman course conducted by the Air Training Command. The airman was trained in security and law enforcement. Airman McNeely is a 1968 graduate of Monroe' High School. His wife is the former Lew Eleanor Hamlin. The impoundment of funds which have been previously approved by the Congress for specific purposes, has been a controversial question for many years, and especially so with the present Administration. There are valid afguements as to whether under the Constitution the President has the right to disregard the will of Congress or not. So, in an effort to reasert its power, the House passed by a vote of 254 to 164, a bill limiting the President's power to refuse to spend appropriated funds. The anti-impoundment bill provides that when the President decides not to spend certain funds, he must notify Congress. If either House disapproves his action within 60 days, the funds must be released for spending. The bill woul be in effect only until next June 30 and would set a spending ceiling for this fiscal year of $267.1 billion. Of course, it is expected that the President will veto this bill, then it remains a question of whether the Congress can muster the necessary two-thirds votes to override the veto. In the event the bill should become law, it will indeed be an historic action, for it will once and for all, settle the question of the President's right to impound approrpriated funds. In other House action by a narrow margin of only five votes, approval was given to a $2.8 billion foreign aid bill. I was a bitterly contested debate as many of us are convinced that the vast expenditures for foreign aid have meant little or nothing to this nation. Amongamendmentstothebillapprovedby theHouse was one which passed by a voter of 272 to 102 to bar aid to countries which expropriate American property and refuse to make just compensation. Aso, the House removed a five-year export credit fund which would have cost $1 billion per year. At a time when food prices are high and the dollar is being devalued abroad, and we are having economic trouble at home, it hardly seems a time to be giving money away overseas. This is especially true when there exists $26.8 billion of previously appropriated andauthorized funds Mrhichhavenot been expanded. In other words, I can think of no better way to attempt to balance the budget than to eliminate the foreign aid program. On final passage, Congressmen Andrews, Broyhill, Fountain, Henderson, Jones; Martin, Mizell, Rose, Ruth and Taylor voted no, with only Congressman Richardson Preyer voting yes out of the entire North Carolina delegation.
