A Anderson Decries REAP Rush Rule" This Week Congressman John B. An­ derson (R-Ill), a member of the House Rules committee, has attacked a special "rush rule" which brings a $225-million forced spending bill for the R u r a l E n v i r o n m e n t a l Assistance program (REAP) to the House floor only one day after the committee report was published. In remarks delivered during debate on the rule Wednesday, Anderson explained, "This bill was not on the legislative program for this week as an­ nounced last week. The bill was not scheduled for consideration in the Rules committee until late on Monday afternoon of this week. The report on this bill was not published and available until yesterday morning. The hearings on this bill will not be published and made available until late next week. The rule under which this bill is before us waives the requirement that a bill not be considered by the House until the report has been available to members at least three days." The third-ranking House Republican went on: "I questioned the chairman of the Agriculture committee on this waiver yesterday, and he denied all responsibility for this rush-rule, saying it was written by the parliamen­ tarian. I moved in the Rules committee that this waiver be deleted so that members of this body could have more time to study this bill, and my motion was defeated. I would simply ask, if this is such an important test, if this is being billed as the focal point for a so-called 'constitutional crisis,' who is trying to cram this bill down our throats in such a hurry for what reason? I can't believe the parliamentarian dictates such policy!" Anderson went on to quote the Agriculture committee chairman as saying in the Rules committee that the bill was "a direct test of whether the legislative or executive branch will determine spending priorities." In Anderson's words, "I appreciate the frankness of the gentleman, but I would suggest that his own statement is the best argument against this bill. What are those priorities? How does this Congress propose to stay within the $250-billion spending ceiling? I haven't seen any alternative budget forthcoming from this Congress. I haven't even seen an alternative Agriculture budget produced by the gentleman's com­ mittee...I would suggest to the distinguished chairman that by this legislation and other such attempts, we are putting the spending cart before the fiscal horse, and this can only result in runaway spending and in­ flation or increased taxes." Anderson went on, "I would certainly agree with the distinguished chairman that today's vote is a test of the priorities issue. But I would submit that until we are willing to accept, embrace and im­ plement that very first priority of setting an enforceable spending ceiling, all other talk of priorities is meaningless, frivolous, and yes, even deceptive. There are a number of indications that the majority leadership is more interested in provoking confrontations with the executive branch on spending issues than in first setting our own fiscal house in order. And that certainly ap­ plies to the bill which is before us today." The Illinois Republican went on to explain: "I am not an advocate of unlimited presidential impoundment authority in perpetuity. I also wish to make clear that I come from a farm state and represent a farm district, and I am therefore acutely aware of the popularity of REAP, and this has been a very difficult decision for me to make. But I firmly believe that the responsible thing for us to do iffcHenry Dinner Theatre PRESENTS . . . | ANY WEDNESDAY | By MURIEL RESNIK Directed By V Talutha M.

Anderson concluded by urging defeat on the previous question on the rule so that an amended rule could be offered,, to make the Findley "fiscal responsibility" amendment in order without being subjected to a germaneness question. That amendment would require that before the Act took effect, the Congress must either raise taxes or the debt ceiling by the amount mandated to be spent in the bill. In Anderson's words, "The Findley amendment really goes to the heart of what I have been saying about the overriding first priority of fiscal responsibility and congressional self-discipline.. . This is the only way, it seems to me, that we can clearly demonstrate to the nation that this Congress is truly serious about all this talk of holding down spending and avoiding further inflation and a tax increase." EMPLOYMENT SURVEY A sample of households in this area will take part in a nation-wide survey on em­ ployment and unemployment to be conducted the week of Feb. 19-23 by the Bureau of the Census, Forrest P. Cawley, Jr., director of the Bureau's Data Collection center in Chicago, has announced. The survey is taken monthly by the Bureau for the U.S. Department of Labor. The households in­ terviewed are scientifically selected to represent a cross section of all households. Local Couple Tell Highlights Of World Trip Mr. and Mrs. Alford Johnston have written to the Plaindealer an interesting letter on highlights of their extended world trip. "After spending six delightful weeks in the Fiji Islands and then evacuating with the other tourists to New Zealand due to "Hurricane Bebe", we went directly north of Auckland to the sub-tropical climate in the 'Zane Grey Country' of New Zealand's Bay of Islands. Here we stayed for two months and enjoyed their deep sea fishing, gorgeous scenery and delightful people. "On Dec. 23, we flew from Auckland to Melbourne, Australia. This is a big bustling city of 2.5 million people crossing the Tasman Sea to Bass Straits. "We have rented a car in each country and have toured all places of interest on our own, plus taking guided tours of the cities. We have driven over 5,000 miles. A1 is doing very well driving on the left side of the road and 'always give way to the right'. "We flew from Melbourne to Perth, West Australia, on Jan. 5 and have been enjoying the heat and scenery of 'Down Under'. It has been 90 to 106 degrees every day so far here. "Today, Feb. 7, we are leaving Perth via a Norwegian Cargo boat named the Ragna Bakke. We leave at 8 p.m. and arrive in Singapore Feb. 13. On the 17th, we go to Port Kelang, to Penang (Malaysia) on the 19th, leave there the 21st onto Hong Kong for two days and then make four stops in Japan - Maji, Nagoya, Kobe and Yokohama. We disembark in Japan and fly home. We should be in McHenry sometime in April. "Oh yes, Perth is on the Indian ocean and we took a trip up north to try and visit the US Naval Tracking station of the Astronauts. However, they've had three recent cyclones up Parish Youth Plan Annual Chili Supper The parish youth of Spring Grove, Mount Hope and Ringwood United Methodist churches will be holding their annual chili supper at the Ringwood church Saturday evening, Feb. 24.

WINTER RETREAT The youth of Spring Grove- Mount Hope-Ringwood parish will hold a retreat at Camp Augustana at Lake Geneva March 17 and 18.

If you are interested in attending, please have your registration in to Terri Grupe or Rev. Willis Walker by March 4. VALENTINE PARTY Two couples from Ringwood joined the folks at Mount Hope church last Friday evening for a fun night of games and stunts with hearts the theme in honor of Valentine's Day. Everyone had a good time and we are planning another get-together at the Ringwood church Friday night, April 13, at 8 p.m. Mark this date on your calendar and plan to attend - it might be your "lucky" night. "500" CLUB Paul and Althea Walkington and Walt and Doris Low ven­ tured up into Wisconsin last Saturday night to the home of Danny and Ruth Rawson. The reason being to play "500" for the evening. Lou Winn and Althea Walkington took high scores and low scorers were Glen Benoy and Helen Winn. CHURCH MICE No, those extra noises made at the Ringwood church last Saturday night were not really church mice. Linda and Bill Billikas of Dubuque, Iowa, are house parents for a group of teenage boys, and they had spent Saturday visiting the Museum of Science and In­ dustry in Chicago. They had asked permission to sleep at the church on their way home Saturday evening. They brought their sleeping bags with them and slept at the church. Sunday morning they got up and went to the home of • around Exmouth and many of the roads are still flooded so we were only able to go up as far as Geraldton and Kalbarri. "We're having a marvelous trip and meeting so many nice people but we'll be glad to come home." "Australia and Tasmania are having a very bad drought this year and the bush fires have done millions of acres of damage. "I must go now. Hope everything is fine in McHenry and we'll see you soon. "As ever, "Harriet and Alford Johnston" Linda's parents, the Walt Lows, for breakfast. They attended the 10 o'clock services with Linda and Bill. Then back they headed to Dubuque about noon with the boys hoping for another trip to the Chicago area sometime in the future.
