WASHINGTON — The House passed a measure that would erase 60 years of federal public housing law and replace it with a block grants program. Brushing aside claims by some Democrats thatthe bill would be a disaster for the poor, the House voted 315-107 on Thursday in favor of the abolishing what one Republican called a “dysfunctional” public housing system. Ninetyone Democrats joined 224 Republicans in voting yes. Voting no were four Republicans, 102 Democrats and one independent. The bill included an amendment by Rep.

Whatabout candy? “Candy is junk!” Miss Jarvis, a teacher, was appalled to see what had become of her Mother's Day bythe end of World War II. She died in 1948 after fighting the commercialization of the day she established. “She created it and then it was basically taken out of her hands,” said Betty Hayhurst, directorofthe International Mother's Day Shrine, located at a former Methodist church that Miss Jarvis attended. The 123-year-old shrine with hand-carved pews and stainedglass windows will come alive Sunday, as it does every Mother's Day whenit hit 50,000 population. The $440,000 allocation in 1993 was withdrawn when the Census Bureau concluded the population was less than 50,000.

She also said the loss ofthe federal funds was a hardship on West Jordan, since the money already had been committed to various low-income groups.

Americansare expected to send about 150 million greeting cards for Mother's Day, and $145 million worth of flowers and plants will be delivered nationwide, trade groups said. Hallmark alone produces 1,400 different Mother's Day cards. But Miss Jarvis railed against confectioners,florists and card printers, and was known to pop upat meetingsto wag herfinger at them. “A maudlin insincere printed card or a ready-made telegram means nothing except that you're too lazy to write to the woman whohas done more for you than anyoneelse in the world,” she told The National Observer, a nowdefunct newspaper. 550 S. 500 W.
