Storm safety tips for Arkansas residents and insurers
Arkansas residents face frequent violent weather with tornadoes hail and high winds. The Insurance Information Institute outlines home shelter guidance staying in a basement corner or ditch if needed avoiding large roofed buildings and trailers, moving at right angles to a tornado, and seeking safe shelter. After storms focus on first aid, avoid disaster zones, drive carefully, watch for downed lines, and make temporary repairs while keeping receipts for insurance claims.

Congress Receives Nixon Plan for National Volunteer Service
President Nixon sent a proposal to Congress to create a national volunteer corps, seeking a $176.33 million budget by merging VISTA and related programs from OEO and welfare agencies with retired executive and active corps from the SBA. The idea, announced January 14 at the University of Nebraska, aims to mobilize the nation’s ideals, energy, and skills on a larger scale.

Budget priorities and budget defeat reflections in Arkansas
Areas where monies have been budgeted include higher salaries for state department heads to attract qualified professionals, school district maintenance, a 900 raise for teachers, and expansion of consumer protection enforcement. Additional funding targets Arkansas Industrial Development Commission, adult education, and a Smithsonian branch in Hot Springs, with projects to curb crime and support the U. A. Medical Center. Defeated measures include a campaign expenditure cap and a $300 million highway bond issue, while a state self‑insurance plan passed narrowly, raising concerns about public/private roles and cost efficiency. The speaker notes a visit to Hope to attend a Chamber of Commerce banquet and plans to tour the county after adjournment.
