Pets

Several years ago, an elderly
man, the father of noted doctor,
was taken i'll. This man lived alone
but for his pointer dog who for
six years had been his constant
companion. The doctor had his
father taken to a hospital, and
with penicillin the condition was
relieved, but the patient being a
man of 80, no one expected him
to recover. Whenever this patient
would rouse from his drowsy state,
he would ask for his dog and
demand that he be allowed in the
hospital.
The hospital staff declared that
dog would bring in germs and
hasten death. Having a very per-
soRal interest inTthis case, the Doc
tor, fully realized that the dogs
effect on his patients mind was
the same as the penicillin was on
his body. This mental stimulation
causes the glands to function bet
ter, brings on appetite, and helps
spirits to pull the body through.
Recently l read an article by a
well-known doctor, who claims
there is not a case on record where
diseases in people come from con-
tact with dogs.
Doctors and nurses, your sur
gerry and medicines are wonderful,
but don't overlook the fact that
love, even from pets, can bring
about recovery much quicker than
you may realize unless you have
tried it out. Ever hear of a child
who was made i'll due to the loss
of a dear pet? I have.
Just recently the county papers
told of how a farmer was saved
by his dog. After being gored by
a bull and rendered unable to walk,
this man tied his red work hand
kerchief around his dogs neck.
The dog ran back to his masters
home, bringing help at once.

Along The
POTOMAC
From Your Congressman
Dewitt S. Hyde

Often l am asked, GLOW does
law become enacted?" Here is the
routine a bill goes through before
it becomes binding law on our
citizens.
Suppose I want to reduce a
federal tax. First l work out the
language of bill to achieve this
and then, when Congress is in
session, l have it typed up and
take it to the House Chamber
where put it in the chopper" at
the Clerks desk. That evening the
Clerk gives it a number to identify
it, its title is printed in the Con-
gressional Record, and the Speak
er, with the assistance of the
Parliamentarian, assigns it to an
appropriate committee. In this
case it would be Ways and Means.
The Committee Chairman as
signs it to a subcommittee for
study. He also asks the opinion of
the appropriate Executive officials
on 1.-THE Secretary of the Trea-
sury, in the case of tax bill. The
subcommittee may hold public
hearings on it, and prepares a re-
port to the full committee. In its
report, the subcommittee may ap-
prove or disapprove of the bill, or
amend it, or suggest that it be
labled-not reported back to the
House at all.
The full committee prepares a
report on the bill, which is printed
over at the Government Printing
Office so that other Congressman
can read it. Then it is placed on
the Calendar, or agenda of the
House. Sometimes a member puts
non-controversial bill on our
Consent Calendar" This is called
up for action twice month, and
the official DIRECTORS appointed by
each party can keep quiet, permit
ting the bills passage, or, if three
or more of them object to it, it
goes on the regular calendar and
comes up for debate later.
A time-limit is fixed on the de-
bate, and when this is over the
so-called Second reading" of the
bill takes place, when members can
offer amendments. These are dis
cussed, and finally the House votes
on thes bill as amended. If it's
passed, it is forwarded to the SEN
ate, where it goes through the
same procedure, through a COM
mittee, before the Senate can vote
on it.
Sometimes one house will
change the bill from the way the
other approved it, and then con-
ference is necessary. Several men,
bers of both houses get together,
try to wo.i- 1T a compromise, ard
go back to the respective chambers
to seek approval of their action.
Then, when both houses have
passed the bill in the same form,
it is sent to the President.
The President has ten days to
approve it or veto it. If the time
expires without his action, it be-
comes law anyway. But if Con-
gress has adjourned in the mean
time, then his failure to act on it
becomes pocket veto," and the
bill does not become law. When
the President vetoes a bill and
sends it back to Congress, he sends
along message explaining his
opinion. In order for it to become
law after his. veto, both houses
must approve it by two-thirds
majorities.
1t may sound like an unneces-
sarily complicated process, but it
insures that every bill is thorough
ly studied and that laws cannot be
made quickly or rashly.
