Rep. Walter B. Jones Reports
The week ending July 27
was consumed in discuss
ing the very controversial
gun control legislation. The
House spent five days con
sidering all types of amend
ments to this bill.
By this time, most of
you know that it passed
the House by a vote at 305
to 118. In the North Ca
rolina delegation, along
with Reps. Fountain, Len-
Earl Goodwin
Attends Meet
Sheriff Earl Goodwin
last week attended the an
nual conference of N. C.
Sheriffs’ Association, held
in Charlotte.
Sheriff Dale Johnson of
Catawba County was elect
ed president, succeeding
Sheriff W. G. Clark of
Cumberland County. Sher
iff Tom Marshall of Ons
low County was elected
vice president.
Charlie Rumple, former
sheriff of Iredell County,
was re-elected secretary
treasurer and executive
vice president of the or
ganization.
More than three-fourths
of the ranking law en
forcement officers in the
100 counties of North Ca
rolina registered for the
conference. Lt. Gov. Bob
Scott was among the prin
cipal speakers.
The only reason the rich
pay taxes is because the
paupers can’t.

funeral home
Dear friends, edenton, n. c.
Grief at the passing of a
loved one is both natural
and normal. Even Jesus wept
at the death of Lazarus, the
Bible tells us. Death brings
loneliness and emptiness -
one with whom so much was
shared no longer is sharing
with us. Good friends will
lot belittle ones grief, but
rather will help the bereaved ,
thru new interests, to gradu
ally overcome their grief.
Respectfully,

non, Henderson, Whitener
and Gardner, I voted no
cn final passage, while
Reps. Galifianawis, Taylor,
Komegay, Jonas and Broy
hill voted for the bill.
Several amendments were
adopted which should re
move the objections of
many to this legislation.
For an example, if a per
son goes into another state
for hunting purposes and
his gun becomes lost, stol
en or inoperable, upon an
oath of his identity and
residence, he will be per
mitted to purchase another
gun from a licensed dealer,
who in turn will be re
quired to report the trans
action to the chief law en
forcement officer of the
municipality where the
purchaser resides.
I supported every amend,
ment which would ease the
restrictions on those law
abiding citizens who are
legally entitled to possess
a gun or rifle. While on
the other hand, I support
ed, too, the amendments
which would impose added
penalties on those who use
a firearm in the commis
sion of a crime. This in
cludes the mandatory one
year sentence for anyone
who uses a firearm for the
commission of a federal
crime. This is a manda
tory sentence and cannot
be set aside by the presid
ing judge.
amendment also

tion of a second offense in

* arm, the mandatory penal
i ty will be five years in a
. federal penitentiary. As I
, stated before, I am of the
opinion that this is a mat
ter for the states, that is, to
t pass legislation dealing
■ with the serious problem
! of the abusive use of fire
. arms. It remains to be
- seen whether the Senate
> will concur in the House
1 action or whether they will
add such stringent meas
i ures such as federal regis
-1 (ration and licensing for in
dividuals.
Another bill of particular
> interest to our district was
the extension of the Higher
Education Act for 1969.
This provides additional
! funds for colleges, uni
! versities and technical
schools. We were able to
add several amendments to
! this bill which will im
' prove it.
One amendment was
1 known as the “antiguide
-1 line” amendment which
states, “No standard, rule,
! regulation or requirement
• of general applicability pre
! scribed for the administra
tion of this act or any act
amended by this act may
take effect (1) until 30 days
after it is published in the
federal register, and (2) un
less interested persons are
given an opportunity to
participate in the formula
tion of such standards, rule,
regulation or requirement
through the submission of r
views or arguments.”
Briefly, this means that
HEW cannot withhold
funds for our institutions
without following certain
procedures.
Another amendment we
were able to adopt was a
denial of funds to certain
students receiving National
Defense Education Act
funds who violate or dis
obey the rules and regula
tions of the institutions in
which they are enrolled or
who are convicted in the
courts of certain misde
meanors or felonies while
receiving federal assistance
to attend college. The or
iginal language of the oill
stated that the institution
‘“may” suspend these funds
but the House adopted the
stronger word “shall” sus
pend these funds.
Every institution of high
er learning in the district
of which there are now at
least seven with additional
technical schools to be cre
ated in the near future, re
-1 ceives either directly or in
directly these funds. In
view of this, on behalf of
our institutions of higher
learning, the students and
the faculties, I voted yes
on final passage. The bill
passed 389 to 15.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
RULER OF MEN AND NATIONS
International Sunday School Lesson for Aug. 4
Memory Selection: “Look unto me, and be ye
saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God,
and there is none else.”—lsaiah 45:22.
Lesson Text: Isaiah 45.
i Today our lesson lies in the prophesies of
Isaiah—a Book of great comfort, and one which
expounds the majesty of God—His universality—
and the role of mankind in service to God. More
over, Jesus’ ministry on earth ties in closely with
the concepts of this Book, thereby making it even
more valuable in the eyes of the devout Chris
tian. Jesus taught that God was universal—a
God for all peoples—of all nations, all beliefs—
saints and sinners, alike. Also in this Book, is
the same theme stressed, for we see Cyrus (the
pagan conqueror and ruler) claimed as the anoint
ed servant of the Lord. Indeed, it was under
his rule that the Jews were permitted to return
to their homeland—a leniency to which they had
not been too well accustomed in their days of
servitude.
It is not surprising, therefore, that the Prophet
Isaiah saw in this turn of events the merciful
hand of God, thereby concluding that God WAS
a universal God, concerned with ALL people.
For, although Cyrus was termed “the anointed
of God” and served God’s purpose through Israel,
ite history, he did not possess a personal knowl
edge of the Lord. Isaiah, therefore, concluded,
quite logically, that God works in and through
out history. True, His purposes may not be clear
to our limited insight, but of one thing we can
be sure. He HAS a purpose for all His actions;
this much has been proved, time and time again,
when viewed in the light of later events.
Sometimes we may wonder why God permits
the cruelties that are inflicted by man upon man.
Sometimes we wonder why WE should be hurt
by some calamity, such as war, the loss of a
loved one, a broken home, or what have you.
We cry aloud: WHY should this happen to ME?
What did I do?”
What we fail to grasp is that most of the
worst ills that befall mankind are made by man
kind itself. God made man in :Hig own image,
and He endowed us with a brain and a free will.
In so doing, - He retired himself to the back
ground, leaving man the choice of working out
his own destiny. That man has abused this free
dom of choice over and over again is lament
able; nevertheless, it is—of necessity—inevitable.
However, God DOES act within the limits of
man’s freedom to control history, and to accom
plish His purposes.
God enters redemptively into our deepest and
most personal sorrows. And in so doing, He re
veals His all-encompassing love for us; it goes
without saying that if we are worthy of His con
cern in the affairs of men, we emerge a richer,
more whole person than before—one with under
standing, compassion, insight and (above all)

And so on and on she prattles in her own innocent and
naive way. Soon, however, her questions will become more
complex and her parents will need all the love and wisdom
they can obtain.
Fortunately, we as parents are not alone in this endeavor.
The Church stands ready and anxious to help us train our
children. Through worship, study and meditation we can
learn to know what God requires of us. Come to the church
of your choice this Sunday and every Sunday.

THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . .
... ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest factor
on earth for the building of charac
ter and good citizenship. It is a
storehouse of spiritual values.
Without a strong Church, neither
democracy nor civilization can
survive. There are four sound
reasons why every person should
attend services regularly and sup
port the Church. They are: (l)For
his own sake. (2) For his children’s
sake. (3) For the sake of his com
munity and nation. (4) For the
sake of the Church itself, which
needs his moral and material sup
port. Plan to go to church reg
ularly and read your Bible daily.
