Cooley Expects
Quick Law 10
He|pFarmers
BY the Associated Press


The chairman of the House
Agriculture Committee pre-
dicted today the post-conven-
ton session Of Congress will
enact stop-gap legislation de-
signed to boost 1860 farm in
come by 81 billion.
representative Cooley,
Democrat Of North Carolina,
also predicted the legislation
will escape President Eisen-
hower's veto. He said. II don't
see how the President could
object If he wants to do some
thing about this farm surplus
mess"
The Senate reconvenes Mon
day. the House on August Is.
Mr.. Cooley, a longtime critic
Of Eisenhower farm policies,
voiced confidence the session
will accept a four-point emer-
gency program. He predicted
the measure would put "an
additional 81 billion in farmers
pockets this year." He listed
the four points as:
/. Raising Federal crop sup
ports to the 1856 level fixed by
Secretary Of Agriculture Benson
following Mr.. Eisenhower's veto
of a bill to boost supports to
90 per cent of parity. The 1856
levels varied from crop to crop
but all were below 80 per cent.
2. Launching a program of
voluntary acreage cuts coupled
with payments in kind from
Government surpluses to farm
ers who participate.
3. Liberalizing the foreign
surplus disposal program to
permit foreign nations to OBJ
tain long-term, low-interest
loans to buy United States sur
plus foods.
4. Liberalizing farm credit
programs.
Benson already has the au-
thority to do all this if he would
just do it," Mr.. Cooley said.
Maybe he will have to be
forced to do it."
Mr.. Cooley said he didn't
know just what kind of legisla-
ton Senator Kennedy, the
Democratic presidential nom
inee, had in mind when he
promised last month to push
for a farm bill in the August
session.
However. Mr.. Cooley indi-
Gated he thinks the Kennedy
program will largely parallel
the one Mr.. Cooley outlined.
He added that he plans to
confer with Senator Kennedy
before meeting August IL with
the chairmen and ranking Re-
publican members of the vari-
Gus House Agriculture subcom-
mittees to survey the farm
picture.

"There will be a meeting of the
Senior Citizens Club in the educa-
itional building of the Kitty Hawk
Methodist Church on Friday, Sep
TENDER 16 at 2 to A pm. All people
in this area are urged to attend as
important matters will be brought
up for discussion affecting all of

are expected. An effort will be
made to elect a new group of Off

"This is a good movement that
is growing in other parts of the
country and it is largely up to you
as individuals to attend and not
depend on some neighbor or friend
to attend and then tell you what
happened, they may be looking at
the question of going just as you
do now.
"This is your club and you are
expected to stand up and tell the
others just what you think should
be done to improve conditions both
here in Dare County, Raleigh and
Washington, D. C.
cit is easy to start club in
other sections of the County.
Talk with some of your friends
and set date and meeting place.
If you want literature or booklets
telling you about the advantages
of being member of the Senior
Citizens Cub, 1 will try to help
you get these booklets. Some are
on hand for distribution.
"Do you want aid in buying a
home, ask about the Federal
Housing Administration Booklet on
loans for the elderly people. There
are a number of others that show
what the State of North Carolina
and the Federal Government in
Washington, D. C., are trying to
do to help the citizens who arc
middle age and older.
"Your club is a place where you
can get together with your friends
and neighbors and use the wisdom
you have gathered over the years
to improve conditions around you.

our congregation had learned
of the reason for our headlong
visit, and the tears of those
sorrowing folks flowed with
ours.
Our Laura was one of $50, 900
babies born each year in our
country with significant birth
defects; that tragic total is
growing with our increasing
population. Our baby was one
of $4,000 who in addition die
annually from These congeni-
tai malformations; and that
awful figure is also mounting.
At last, something construc-
tive is being done about birth
defects. With March Of Dimes
contributions, The National
Foundation is directing a broad
study of this devastating puz-
zle, just as il fought polio and
in time found the Salk vaccine
to prevent it.
With a donation in January
from each of US, in time there
will be many fewer Lauras in
our land.

BY MARY STROUS

Our baby Laura was born or
Mothers Day seven years ago
We lost Laura seven weeks
later on Fathers Day.
She gave soft little sigh as
she died in my arms. My hus-
band and ] buried her with the
rattle to which she had chung
tightly during her brief life.
But Laura, who died of the
terrible birth defects known as
open spine and too much fluid
on the brain, still lives in the
hearts of her father Don and
myself. When asked by stran-
gers, we always say we have
three daughters (inStead of
really only two), and I want
to explain why.
We feel that each of us, in
Guiding our tiny Laura, is
brought into the world to serve
a purpose, even if our stay on
earth is as tragically short as
40 days.
For years we were numbed
by our baby's passing. But to-
day we recognize that in being
asked by The National Foun-
dation to renew our memories
of those despairing seven
weeks, my husband and I are
somehow fulfilling the purpose
of Laura's fleeting visit with us.
That purpose is to repeat as
forcefully as we can the les
sons we have learned:
/. Scientists insist that par
ents should not be ashamed
over the birth of an infant with
a congenital malformation; in
stead, face the situation bravely
and seek professional advice.
Feelings of guilt aren't justi-
fed.
2. There is no medical evil
dence that birth defects are
al,rdys hereditary; and
3. There is no evidence that
because a couple have had one
defective baby, they are likely
to have another. Doctors at !
Columbus, Ohio, near our farm
at Laurelville, said our chances
Of having another malformed
baby We're something like one
in 10000. donna Marguerite,

Roanoke Island Was A Strategic Area

Approach of the Civil War Cen
tennial is bringing out more travel
attractions in North Carolina S
Variety Vacationland.
North Cardinals Civil War story
is that of a state which contri-
buted 125,000 men to the Confed-
crate cause, was scene of IL bat
ties and 70 skirmishes, led the
South in blockade running, and
whose troops advanced farthest at
Gettysburg and fired the last vol
leyS before the surrender at APP
pomattox.
The States participation in the
nationwide Centennial observance
from 1861 through 1865 is being
planned and coordinated by the
North Carolina Confederate Cen
tenial Commission, authorized by
the General Assembly of 1859 and
appointed by Governor Luther H.
Hodges. The Commission has open
ed offices in Raleigh, and is de-
veloping program of special
events and exhibits which, with
significant Civil War sites from
mountains to coast, will tell the
story of North Carolina in the Civil
War years.
Major Civil War sites at which
restoration work is we'll underway
in North Carolina are Bentonville
battle-ground, scene of the last
major Confederate offensive and
the bloodiest battle fought on
North Carolina soil; Fort Fisher,
where the largest land-sea action
Of any war up to 1865 cut off the
last of the Blockade runners which
were the lifeline of the Confed-
eracy"; and Bennett House near
Durham, where General Joseph E.
Johnston surrendered the last
major Confederate army to General
William T. Sherman on April II,
1865. These are North Carolina
State Historic Sites where work is
supervised by the Department qfI
Archives and History. Through the
State agentcy and local groups, ad-
ditional sites will be marked orI
restored in localities ranging from
Cape Hatteras to the Blue Ridge
Mountains.
One of the most complete and
best preserved Notifications identi-
fled with the Civil War is Fort
Macon, a year-around historical at
traction in Fort Macon State Park
near Morehead City. Near Will
mington, the earthworks of Fort
Anderson (1862-1865) have been
marked and made accessible at
