Before departure or after de barking, visitors are invited to inspect the Morehead building, the three million dollar gift of John Motley Morehead, indus trialist and philanthropist, to the University of North Carolina. It makes a deep ahd permanent impression upon the hundreds 1 of thousands of persons who regularly attend Planetarium programs. The magnificent building houses not only the great Zeiss Planetarium, one of only eight in the Western Hemisphere and the only one used to train Am erica’s Mercury Astronauts, hut also art and scientific exhibits of note.

On the other hand, it took religion farther from the common, every day life of the people than when it was practiced at the locil shrihe of every town and village. The effect of this was not so good. The purpose of the reform was wholly good, however—a renew ed loyalty to Yahweh, the God of Israel! and a determination to follow his commandments as given in the book of the coven ant and keep his worship pure. What, then, does this lesson have to say to us today? In the first place, as we look at life in the United States to day, or even at the situation in ouf churches, We know that the need for reform is as great among us as among the people qf Josiah’s day. Improvement in religious cere monies and practices will not prove to be enough for us any more than it was for them—not even increased church member ship and attendance, or better ChUfch-sChool facilities. For this reason many have questioned the (Value of the so-called revival of religion in America today. For us, toio, reform must M clude a renewed loyalty to jGhrist that Will express itself tn our attitudes and conduct. It will mean an increased tempo in a more careful study of the life pnd teachings of Jesus as found in the New Testament, and a de termination to take them seri pusly. We must make a start NOW—before it is too late!

JUKE 28. 1982. 11 ACCtOtWyPACtt Another in n series ot articles in slid the North Carolina Department ot Kotor Vehicles exnlores some of the significant faets behind last year’s traffie accident toll. North Carolina last year suf fered a 207 million dollar eco nomic loss from traffic mishaps according to a special study pre pared by the State Department of Motor Vehicles. The immense dollar loss was drained away by hospital and funeral expenses, property damage, lawsuits, in surance claims, loss of income, etc. An agency statistician dram atized the sdm this way: If a masked man stepped into a bank and took $40,000 today he would have to steal the same sum steadily every banking day for the next 20 years to equal the attount lost to highway careless ness.

New Enlistment Policy In Effect For Marine Corps Staff Sergeant Gary K- Shu maker, area Marine recruiter, announces that as of July Ist, he would accept applications from married men for enlistment or reenlistment in the Marines. A. recent directive from the Commandant of the Marine Corps lifted a restriction on en listing married men. It has been effective for six months. The lid was put on after the Marine Corps’ strength reached 190,000 in November, 1961. Recruiting quotas, since, have only reflect ed normal attrition. This limitation also applied to former Marines that were mar ENGRAVED OR PRINTED Mm types of jorial printing is ac your command.

After July Ist, this ban will be removed and if qualified, they can reenlist. Another provision for this lat est directive, is that men with prior active duty in another branch of the Armed Forces can, if otherwise qualified, enlist in the Marines. Sgt. Shumaker said it has been a year since he accepted a man with service from another branch. According to Shumaker, since the restriction went into effect, 8-10 married men living in the Eastern North Carolina area have been turned down by him, along with several men from other services. These men can now reapply for enlistment after July Ist. Sergeant Shumaker will be at the Post Office in Edenton on Thursdays, between 10:30 A. M., and noon. Sunk!
