Pcge6 Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, August 2, 1956 Congressman SAM COON wasmraroir, a a NOW THAT CONGRESS HAS ADJOURNED, I would like to give you a short summary of what has been accomplished this year. As Is usually the case when the Congress is controlled by one party and the Adminis tration by the other, most of the legislation which was enacted Into law was the type on which there was pretty general agreement. TO AID AGRICULTURE, the Soli Bank Act was passed, with its acreage ana conservation re servp nrozrams of cash pay ments to farmers for taking land out nf nroduction. This acuon was taken after Congress failed to override a Presidential veto 01 a farm bill which was called for a return to ritrld Drice supports, Other measure were passed to improve and increase larm ere Hit facilities, to remove the Fed eral excise tax from gasoline used on the farm, and to amend the Sugar Act with favorable ef fect on sugar beet quotas. THE CONGRESS made gener ous appropriations for the de velopment of our natural resour ces. We, in Oregon, will great ly benefit from these. In fact, nearly ONE DOLLAR OUT OF EVERY SIXTEEN in the Public Works bill for the entire United States will be spent on projects entirely in our Second Congres- lone News (ContJnaed Prom Paae 3) where she was a delegate from the lone unit and also a delegate from the 8 et 40. She reported a very successful convention. Dates to remember: August 7 council meeting at 8 p. m. August 13 through 17 Nazarene Bible school at the Community church. Leland McKinney, son of Mr. and Mrs. Earl McKinney was a patient at the Pioneer Memorial hospital a few days last week. Mrs. Alvin Pearson and sons, Ted and John of Mt. Vernon, Wash., and Miss Patricia Stule of Seattle visited Mrs. Sarah Tro bough at the Grant Rigby home Wednesday and Thursday of last week. The Teenage Stitchers, 4-H club met last week at the home of their leader, Mrs. Louis Carl son. Miss Beverly Bradshaw was also present. The members took a sack lunch. Mr. and Mrs. Gralit Conway of Washington, D. C. visited at the Milton Morgan home last week. Mr. and Mrs. Robert McCabe of Cornelius are visiting relatives here. I slonal District, or partly in our district and partly in joining ones. The $42,457,000 in this bill for construction funds for The Dalles Federal Dam is the largest single item in the whole Public Works bill. Funds were also in cluded for the McNary Dam, for advance engineering and design for the John Day Dam. In the field of reclamation, money was appropriated to build Haystack Dam in Jeffesron County, for the Owyhee Project, for the Klam ath Project. Money was included for flood control work in the Mal heur Improvement District and for the flood control survey at Pendleton. The Bonneville Power Administration received funds for considerable construction work in our district. THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION bill was one of the major pieces of legislation which passed Congress. It plans for the completion of our Federal interstate highway system over a 13-year period. It increases the amount of aid payments to the states for work on their primary, secondary and urban road sys tems. Oregon will get $104 mil lion in Federal grants for high way work during the next three years, more than nan oi n ior work on the interstate road sys tem within our state. 1 THERE WAS RATHER GENE RAL Ar.REEMENT on the am- nnnta nf mnst of the aDDroDrla- tlons bills. President Eisenhower presented a balanced budget to Congress and our government should oDerate in the black fori the second year In a row. The appropriation for Defense Depart ment military lunctions win ac nmint fnr well over half of the Federal expenditures during the fiscal year 1957. There was quite a dispute in regard to ioreign aid, and Congress finally voted an amount considerably under the budget request, but more than it approved last year. TN THE LAST FEW DAYS of the session, Congress sent measures tn the whito House to reduce the Social Security retirement age for women to age 62 and to provide for disabilitv retirements at age 50; to increase many Railroad Re tirement benefits by 10; and to liberalize Civil Service retire benefits. Favorable action was also taken to extend the program of aid to education In Federal im pacted areas and to extend the school milk program, tunas were voted for a huge expan sion of our disease research pro gram. Mrs. Coon and I started our drive back to Oregon almost im mediately following the ad journment of Congress. We sure will bp elad to get home and see all our friends again. FAIR-MINDED Speaking of exhibits, we al- wavs like to draw attention to the many fine commercial exhi bits that help to make a lair.. Here one may see the latest In household appliances and it Is hoped that this year more of the agricultural Implements will be on display. More room is to be set aside for their display and hope the space will be well filled.
