Taylor St. Antique weaving Roll call report By Roll Call Report WASHINGTON—Here’s how area members of Congress were recorded on major roll call votes September 22-28. HOUSE POPULATION COMMIT- TEE—Adopted, 258 for and 147 against, a resolution (H Res 70) setting up a Select Committee on Population to further study the world population explosion people participating in the Cotton Picking, Antique and Crafts Fair in Gay, Ga. and propose means of curbing it. The committee is scheduled to go out of business on Jan. 3, 1979. A specific price tag will be considered later. Estimates are that it will cost “no more than ’500,000” for staffing, travel and other expenses. Members voting “yea” favored creating the committee. Reps. Bo Ginn (D-l). Jack Brinkley (D-3), Elliott (D-4) and Ed Jenkins (D-9) voted “yea.” Reps. Dawson Mathis (D-2), Wyche Fowler (D-5), John Flynt (D-6), Lawrence McDonald (D-7), Billy Lee Evans (D-8) and Doug Barnard (D-10) voted “nay.” ASSASSINATIONS PANEL— Adopted, 290 for and 112 against, a resolution (H Res 760) enabling the Select Com mittee on Assassinations to go into court on its own, without the prior approval of the full House that virtually all other committees must obtain. The panel, set up to uncover new facts behind the murder of Martin Luther King and President John F. Kennedy, now can seek immunity for witnesses and contempt-of- Congress citations without consulting with the full House. Members voting “yea” favored broader legal authority for the select committee. Ginn, Mathis, Brinkley, Flynt, Jenkins and Barnard voted “yea.” McDonald and Evans voted “nay.” EX-PRESIDENTS—FaiIed, 211 for and 203 against, to obtain the two-thirds majority needed for passage of a bill (HR 9278) increasing former President Ford’s annual staff payroll allowance. A two-thirds majority was required by the short-cut parliamentary procedure under which the bill was brought to the floor. Members voting “yea” favored the larger payroll allowance for ex-presidents. Mathis and I £ vitas voted “yea.” Ginn, Brinkley, Flynt, McDonald, Evans, Jenkins and Barnard voted “nay.” SENATE ENERGY—FaiIed, 46 for and 52 against, to table and thus kill an amendment to remove federal controls from the price of natural gas. The failure of this tabling motion kept alive a proposal to force immediate deregulation of new natural gas found on shore and deregulation after 5 years of new off-shore gas. The deregulation plan would replace President Carter’s call for additional federal controls of the natural gas at higher prices than now exist. Carter’s plan is a major part of the national energy policy bill (S 2104) that was on the Senate floor during this vote. Senators voting “yea” were opposed to immediately removing federal price controls on on-shore natural gas. Sens. Herman Talmadge (D) and Sam Nunn (D) voted “yea.” ENERGY-Voted, 77 for and 17 against, to close a filibuster on the pending national energy policy bill (S 2104, see vote above). This margin far ex ceeded the three-fifths majority necessary to invoke cloture. However, it did not stop the dilatory tactics of the filibusterers, who turned next to introducing scores of amend ments and sent the Senate into round-the-clock sessions for several days. Senators voting “nay” favored expanded federal controls on natural gas prices. Talmadge and Nunn voted “yea.” yous NeigHßor DICK HYATT 523 East Taylor St. Phone 227-21C8 See him tor all your family insurance needs Lit A SoodAtojMor, jßt f»n» it Um State Ferm Insurance Companies Home Offices: Bloomington, Illinois WnJDear Abby \*ar Topless now decent exposure in Texas By Abigail Van Buren r< 1977 by The Chicago Tribune N Y News Synd Inc DEAR ABBY: Sorry, but you blew it when you said that even though there was no law against females going topless in Texas, they could be arrested for indecent exposure and/or disorderly conduct. Not so. According to the Texas Penal Code, effective January 1, 1974, a female who goes bare-breasted in public is not guilty of indecent exposure or disorderly conduct. (I am enclosing a copy of the Penal Code.) PARK RANGERS, AUSTIN, TEX. DEAR PARK. Thank you. I hereby revise my answer to read: Females who go topless in Texas cannot be arrested for indecent exposure and/or disorderly conduct unless they are also BOTTOMLESS! DEAR ABBY: How can I help the man I love overcome his reluctance to marry? We are both in our late 30s and have been married before. My marriage ended in divorce after 15 years. It was a bad scene from the start. He says his marriage was a 12-year honeymoon. Then his wife died after a lingering illiness. He says he will never marry again because he couldn’t bear the experience of losing another wife. His mother, with whom he lives, is raising his two children, so he doesn’t need a wife to make a home for his children. He claims that he loves me, but that he can’t consider marriage. We are so right for each other and I want to marry again. How can I get him to change his mind? IOWAN DEAR IOWAN: I don’t think you can. For a man to deny himself happiness today because he may lose it tomorrow doesn't make much sense. Don’t count on him if you have marriage in mind. He hasn’t. DEAR ABBY: My best girlfriend is in trouble and just about everyone in the neighborhood knows about it. She has been a good friend to me for a long time, and I really like her. Some of my other friends tell me that if I hang around with her, I will get a bad reputation because she’s “bad,” and birds of a feather flock together. She’s never been in any kind of trouble before. What should I do? UNDECIDED DEAR UNDECIDED: Birds of a feather may or may not always flock together, but I am reminded of another saying: “One swallow doesn’t make a summer.” And one mistake doesn’t make a girl “bad." If she’s your friend, stick by her. She needs your friendship now more than ever.
