Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, July 26, 1956 Page 4 I rx-; Congressman SAM COON WASHINGTON, 0. a SEVERAL DAYS of heated de bate have taken place in the House on proposed civil rights legislation. The bill would set up a civil rights commission to investigate complaints that citi zens are being deprived of their right to vote, or that they are being subjected to economic pressure because of their race, color, religion, national origin or sex. It also proposes changes in the civil rights laws and in the legal procedure in some of these cases. Ewn many supporters of civil rights feel that this bill as ori ginally presented was a very poorly drawn up piece of legis lation, containing very broad and indefinite grants of power to the Federal agencies concerned. Num erous amendments have been proposed to it and several adopt ed. LIVESTOCK MARKET Cattle Hogs Sheep SALE EVERY TUESDAY 12 Noon On U. S. Hiway No. 30 NORTHWESTERN LIVESTOCK COMMISSION CO.

Short, your Telephone Manager for Heppner imi kit -1JL Phone calls go "piggy-back" riding Pretty soon now, many local telephone calls are going to start riding "piggy-back." They'll go one on top the other, as many as four separate calls at the same time on the same telephone line. This means one line will do the work of four. And, of course, that means more and better service to more people. For many years, "piggy-back" systems have been speeding your long distance calls. Now we've discovered how to use the same kind of equipment for local calls. This is an example of how telephone people work to develop new and better equipment. The men and women of Pacific Telephone work to make your telephone more useful every day. Don't miss the fun . . . Telephone ahead for reservations! i 4 1 V I J Is your home growing up?

You'll be surprised how much more convenient your service can be at a very low cost. Just call your telephone business office now and ask about complete telephone ar rangement. Pacific Telephone. rivil riehts legislation has no chance of passing the Senate this year, regardless of House action on its bill. THE HELLS CANYON BILL to authorize construction of a fede ral dam was defeated by the Senate by a vote of 51 to 41. The Senate action has killed the bill for this year. a federal nower commission, lirpnsp had previously been is-1 sued to the Idaho Power Company j to build three dams in me Hens Canyon area. Construction work at the site of the first of these has been underway for several months. In the course of Senate debate on Hells Canyon, figures were presented to show that the single federal dam would develop 785, 000 kilowatts of power, compared to 767,000 kilowatts by tne tnree dams. THE SENATE finally passed the Social Security amendments bill. This legislation proposes to extend Social Security pay ments to the disabled at age of 50. These payments would be financed by an additional pay roll tax of y4 to be paid by the emnlovep and V to be paid by the employer. It would also make women eligible for Social becur ity at age 62, at a slightly lower rate than what they would get If they wait until age 65 to retire. The House had passed the Social Security bill last year ana i voted for it. Differences between the ver sions of the bill as passed by the Senate and the House must be resolved before this legislation can be sent to the President for his signature. MY CROOKED RIVER RECLA Matlon bill should come before the House for a vote unless it is lost in the last minute shuffle before adjournment. It has now bepn cleared bv the House rules committee, which makes floor action on it possible. I certainly hope we can get favorable action on it this year.

Whether it is an outing with a best friend or just a walk alone through country meadows, youngsters love the feel ing of independence a solo trip gives them. This feeling of independence can be fostered, too, by letting the kids make their own picnic lunches. A handy can of inex pensive, high protein sardines from Maine 'provides a hearty sandwich which the youngster can make herself.

The young chef can add sliced hard cooked eggs or cheese if she wishes, or just a dab of mayonnaise.

The dam would help provide flood contfol protection for Prine ville and the agricultural bottom lands along the Crooked River. This area is subject to floods. Recreational and fish and wild life benefits would also result. PRESIDENT EISENHOWER ve toed the military construction authorization bill. He objected to a restriction in the bill on the use of funds for Talos guided mis siles as a violation of the con structional principle of separa tion of powers. The bill pro vided that funds for them could not be spent until the defense secretary and the armed services Committees agreed on what use would be made of the missiles. Mr. Eisenhower stated that if the committees should fail or de cline to agree with the defense secretary's plans, the practical effect of the provision would be to give the committee the autho- Farmers- ON GRAIN INSURANCE Insur your grain crops now with us and SAVE 15 on your premium for at the termination of the policy you will receive a check for 15 of the amount of your premium. , Be Wise.
