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.
