☆ SAYS I
MORGANTON—In the brief in
-terlude between Christmas and the
New Year, we have a national past
tune of reflecting on events of the
year, which I shall pursue in this
column. The 87th Congress opened
January 3—17 days prior to the
inauguration of the 35th President.
Its principal activity during that
time was to pave the way for the
incoming administration. In my
judgment, the two events which had
the greatest influcence on the 87th
Congress were the inauguration of
President Kennedy on January 20
and the Berlin Crisis, which reach
ed its peak in July. The passage of
a good many of the President’s key
legislative proposals demonstrated
a good working relationship be

Branches of the Government during
the past session. At the same time,
there was a long and vigorous fight
over foreign aid authorization and
appropriation bills, which charac
terized the fundamental independ
ence of the two branches of Gov
ernment. Moreover, there were a
number of controversial measures
proposed to Congress which were
shelved for the session. These in-,
eluded the aid programs for edu
cation and medical care, which may
be considered anew during the
forthcoming session. Although the
Reorganization Act of 1946 stated
that Congress should adjourn on or
before July 31 of each year, again
this year Congress was in an extra
long session which brought adjourn
ment on September 27. One of my
individual senatorial problems this
year came over patronage due to
the change in administrations. Pa
tronage nominations caused long
hours of work in my office during
most of the year.
ADJOURNMENT ACTIVITY—
Following adjournment, I traveled
extensively throughout North Caro
lina, I visited 34 of our counties
traveling some 8,500 miles to attend
various meetings and functions. On
days that I was not engaged in this
activity, my office duties in Mor
ganton required my attention to a
large volume of mail. In spare hours
and evenings, I endeavored to keep
abreast of pending measures that
may come up at the next session of
Congress. During the entire year,
my office staff in Washington and
in Morsranton handled a wide range
or requests from constituents.
LOSS OF RAYBURN—No com
mentary for this year and this
Congress would be complete with
out recalling the service and the
tragic death of House Speaker Sam
Raybum. Mr. Sam, as he was af
fectionately know, had an attitude
towards Government which coin
cided with my own philosophy. As
I expressed it in paying final tri
bute to him, “He knew the value of
clinging to the tried and true land
marks of the past, but at the same
time, he was not afraid to test the
soundness of new ideas.”
I should like to express to the
readers of this column my good
wishes for the New Year.
NO CHARGE FOR RENEWAL
OF REGISTRATION FOR
SOME COMMERCIAL CRAFT
As a result of action taken by the
1961 Legislature, no fee will be
■equired for renewal of certificate
of number previously issued to com
mercial fishing boats if such boats
come within certain provisions pro
vided by law.
The Wildlife Resources Commis
sion, responsible for registration of
H boats powered by machinery of
more than ten horsepower, said that
‘The General Statutes of North
Carolina authorize the Wildlife Re
nurces Commission to issue such
renewals, free of charge; provided,
the applicant submits with his re
quest 1) a signed statement certi
■ fying that the boat is a commercial
fishing boat, as defined in G.S.
75A-5, and 2) a receipt, signed by
an authorized agent of the N. C.
Department of Conservation and
Development, Division of Commer
cial Fisheries, bearing the boat
number orignally awarded by the
Wildlife Resources Commission and
showing that the commercial fish
ing boat license tax imposed by G.
S. 113-174.7 has been paid for the
period during which the application
for renewal is submitted.”
State law defines commercial
fishing boats as “motorboats which
are used primarily for commercial
fishing operations from which op
erations the owners and or opera
tors thereof derived more than one
half of their gross incomes during
the preceding calendar year.”
Owners of boats registering such
boats for the first time must pay
the $3.00 fee, but will be exempted
from payment of a renewal fee in
subsequent years as long as the
boat duly qualifies as a commercial
fishing craft.

The seven deadly sins take to the
road as envisioned by the Rev. E.
W. Andrews, writing in the Read
er’s Review.
SLOTH, or laziness, is the sin
that makes the motorist unwilling
to take the time to correct mechani
cal faults in his car. It prevents the
taking simple precautions. It pro
duces a lethargy deadly to body as
well as to soul.
GREED is so obviously a traf
fic sin that the greedy driver has
a specific title road hog. The
greedy one demands more than his
share of the road, demands the
right to be first across at an inter
section.
LUST, in a sexual sense, pro
duces some accidents through one
armed driving and distraction, but
lust for speed and excitement is
deadlier in traffic.
GLUTTONY, particularly in the
use of alcohol, dulls the senses,
weakens the reflexes, spoils judge
| ment It is one of the deadly killers
on the highway and as- deadly
for the drinking pedestrain as the
drinking driver.
ENVY is a classic killer. The
driver who resents being passed or
left behind at a stoplight is being
moved by envy to behavior that
jeopardizes life.
ANGER is a familiar phenomenon
in drivers. The fault in the other
driver whether it be a real fault
or an imagined one stirs resent
ment and often provokes hazardous
response. We understand our own
faults; excuse them by saying we
are only human and therefore sub
ject to an error. But similar faults
prove to us the inhumanity of the
‘‘enemy” in the other car whose
fault imperils or inconveniences us.
In traffic, petty irritation can be as
deadly as roaring wrath.
PRIDE. Behind every one of these
driving sins lies the central sin of
pride. Once encased in sheet steel,
with the power of more than 100
horses responding to the gentle
touch of a foot, we find ourselves
lifted to a false sense of greatness.

(This is the 6th of a series ex
plaining public welfare in North
Carolina)
In the aid to dependent children
program of public welfare in North
Carolina, there are many instances
where such help to one family has
affected an entire community. Aid
to dependent children is a money
payment for needy dependent chil
dren who have been deprived of
parental care and support because
of the death, physical or mental in
capacity or continued absence from
home of one or both parents, wheth
er natural, step or adoptive.
In one county a widow who had
several children was given an aid to
dependent children grant, as it was
virtually impossible for her to
maintain her home and support her
children on the meager amount she
was able to earn. Despite the fact
that her children were small, she
managed to secure some part time
work caring for several elderly
persons. Actually, she had had no
formal training, but had always
had an interest in this field of
work and had a special aptitude
for working with older people.
Finally she was able to save enough
money to take a correspondence
course in nursing, completed the
course, and received her diploma.
Ten years ago she became interest
ed in the program of boarding
homes for aged persons. Her chil
dren were grown and self-support
ing by that time, and she felt that
now she might be able to carry
out such a project in her own home.
With the help of the caseworker
from the county department of pub
lic welfare she was able to plan
this project so that her home met
the standards for licensing by the
State Board of Public Welfare.
These standards include proper
facilities for the safety and wel
fare of the residents in the home.
Her boarding home was the first
of its kind licensed in her county.
It is still in operation and is cur
, rently licensed to accommodate 17
elderly persons. Much has been ac
complished in improvements of the
home and its services to the resi
dents since it opened.
In the same community a neigh
bor, whose husband had died after
a lingering illness, was also left
with a family of small children to
care for. She had no adequate in
come and was eligible to receive aid
to dependent children to help meet
her expenses. She cared for her
husband for several years before
his death and as a result, she too
became interested in establishing a
boarding home for elderly persons.
She talked with the neighbor who
had established the first home, and
from her received much help and
encouragement. Her boarding home
was established seven years ago
and is currently licensed for seven
persons.
The establishment of these two
boarding homes for the aged in the
