Agreement j which produced a 'mass of i new programs last year is r.ot as apparent as it once was. This time Congress has taken a less hurried ap proach in dealing with pro grams proposed to augment the “better life.” Irritations over new federal encroach ments in areas once reserved for final decision' by the “home folks” is one element of the mood.

Div-Jofrn Ureisbaeh, camp us terident physician who pent IT years as a medical missionary in the Canal Zone mid in West Africa, is taking a group of 26 including 13 registered nurses who are pursuing a bachelor of sci jnce degree in medical mis ;ions at BJU to the village if Soufriere on the southwest oast of the island owned by he British. A 40-bed “cottage hospital” s being completely turned over to the doctor and his lives of people who still have a reverence for making their own decisions. So guaranteed incomes and greater controls from Wash ington are getting a second look. New poverty, health and civil rights laws are getting more study in. Con gressional hearnigs. A new cabinet level Transportation Department is undergoing committee study. Auto and highway safety measures have milch appeal but Con gress wants to make sure government regulation does riot become government op pression. ' The President’s recom mendation for four - year House terms has received a luke-warm reception in the Senate. Electoral College changes have brought new hearings but no real agree- staff, freeing the regularly .assigned doctor and nurses for needed service elsewhere. Ihe young nurses have never practiced medicine un der such conditions though each was a registered nurse before beginning the course. “Missionary medicine is quite different from the medicine practiced in a high ly civilized country,” Dr. Dreisbach explained. “‘We had well trained regular nurses come to West Africa and almost go under from the strain. Customs and cul ture are very different in these places—we are going to ■give' practical on-the-spot training in all aspects of missionary training.” “We feel,” he continued, rnent on a single plan to win Congressional approval. Wage and hour amend ments that won House ap pro va 1 are experiencing drafting difficulties over which new groups of em ployees to include and which to exclude. Farmers express concern over inclusion of ag licultural employees and want higher price supports to make up any new labor costs added by the proposal. Mounting war costs have brought restraint on domestic spending proposals unless they fit into categories that the administration deems “must” legislation. Still the cut-backs on domestic pro grams are mild, and a real effort to prune projects of doubtful values does not have the overall support needed to hold the line on federal spending. 'The pull and tug of war arid, inflation appears to be the’ restraining factor in coaling with the multitude of programs still on the Con gressional calendar. And there is the spectre of a tax increase if federal spending gets too much out of hand, and a realization that new federal aids do cost money which must ultimately be met by taxes. There is a feeling abroad in the land I that pouring more treasury dollars into every sector of the economy does not pro duce the automatic results once predicted. As often as not, aids breed new prob lems which more dollars do not rectify. So the country and the appear ready to examine panaceas a little more carefully, especially wheii paternalism has its limjjs too.

EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY JULY 14, 1966. “from our experience In the jungle* of Africa that medi cal evangelism is one of the mest effective ways 6t ' rrtiri istering to men’s souls. Showing concern for the physical welfare of an indi vidual often gives an en trance into his spiritual life. We have a real spiritual mis sion among people to. clear ly present to them the claims of Christ.” Team members have given the name “Project Compas rion’ ’to the summer mission ary program. Although Bob Jones University is sponsor ing the program, each team member has to 'pay his own transportation costs and liv ing expenses during the 10 weeks. Many college students Work in the summer to make enough money to help defray expenses during the regular college year, and Dr. Dreis bach feels that giving up an earning opportunity and spending more than S3OO be sides clearly shows the dedi cation which these nurses have to missionary work. The island of St. Lucia was chosen for several rea sons—the presence of numer ous tropical diseases, the use of the English language caus ing no linguistic barrier, the reasonable closeness to the university, etc. This is a pilot project of medical missionary work and if successful will probably be carried out by the univer sity on a year-round basis. Each nurse will receive six hours of credit for the sum mer work towards her 13.

Goodwin, second grade teacher at Edenton Element ary School, attended a 'two week workshop at East Ca rolina College which special ized in teaching arts and crafts projects for the ele mentary grades. There were 17 enrollees. Under the direction of Dr. Wellington B. Gray, the paiticipants, most of them elementary teachers, experi mented with simplified tech niques in weaving, print making and basketry. Letter To Editor To the Editor: Having been born in Ederi ton, some 60 odd years ago by parents who were of the prime quality, my mother taught for 20 years here and my dad before me served the pgople as a family den tist for some 30 odd years, also representing the county and the first senatorial dis trict in the State legislature for several terms, I feel that I should inform you some thing about our little close ly knit community that yolt as a newcomer do not real lize. First: Your particular pa- oer is not the onlv paper that j could be published in iMs | county please remember this. I have seen several pa pers come and go here be cause at not only political unrest but also because there , was time for M-weeklles or i daily papers. Our town is too small for a daily now; but there is an opportunity tot a bi-weekly. Or pdrnaps you do not agree. Competition is the real ob ject erf alf free enterprise and 1 am glad to see, that our little town has a new bank to come in here, x ne’-rop"!- ly doubt that I Will be in •olved in the new bank as to deposits or loans. There is, however, the possibility of competition and that is al ways good at all levels. Now for the real purpose of this letter. First, let me state that T have served on the Board of Public Works .for several years and while this was many years ago. I also wrote to the Attorney Gen- , eral of North Carolina and 1 his ruling at, that time was] that the board had no way possible under the town charter to transfer any mon ies they received to the town for purposes other than re pairs on the plant and for services to the' customer. Today we live in a new j era. and even without anv change or up-dating of charter we can do as new Attorney General'' proves? BLA. Why don’t we re-write our charter and submit it to vou of the people of our town for approval. God knows it does need revision. I After two years on the board, I was able to see a copy, and I understand that I about all our city fathers as of present have never seen a copy. Please print at least * a part in the next six issues of The Herald and the peo ple will be amazedi at the charter. ' Sincerely. Dr. W. S. Griffin, Citizen To the Editor; I write this because of the recent news releases criticiz ing Congressman Walter B. Jones for failure to vote on the Rent Supplement Bills several other bills affecting the General Legislature pro ■ cess accorded the people he .resents. In fairness ,to Congressman Jones, I think the records should be accur ate. According to the Con gressional Record for March 29, 1966, on HR 14012 which provided for a $12,000,000.00 supplement for Rent 'Subsidy, Congressman Jones was par ed against the bill, when on May 10, 1966, HR 14921 which contained a $20,000,- 000.00 appropriation for Rent Left to right: CorvaTr Monza Sport Coupe, Chary n Nova 4-Door Sedan, Chevelle Malibu Sport Coupe and Chavrolet Impels WftvMbls.

In looking at the Congress ional Record it seems that this ik far above the voting average of most congressmen I think the “Dally Ad vahee” in an editorial on Jufie 10th covered the situa tion extremely well: “'Ariy doubt about the in terest of First District Con gressman Walter Johes for his area certainly should be dissipated when the record he has established, in the few months he has been in Wash- ington, is studied.’’^ Jones, wo was elected to represeriVthe first District a few months ago succeeding the late, jjferbert Bonner, has shown he is not. a rubber stamp fW.the Administration, and knowing his record dur ing the year's he spent in the ■ General 'Assembly, it is as- / sured tlujl he is not out to bolster hls ovvn political gloty but to serve all of the peo ple in .the area he repre sents. , Sincerely yours, i,.,L,P.
