PAGE SIX-B Sam J. Ervin Says: WASHINGTON Much of the dissension abroad in our country can be traced to the war in Vietnam, centralization of govern mental power in Warfling ton, and the failure of our society to effectively con trol crime. These are the major forces shaping the lives of all of us, and how the nation deals with them is of* immense importance. Almost everyone wants the war in Vietnam to be concluded, but it is appar ent that there are many shades of opinion as to just how this can be accom plished. This is the fore most issue confronting the country, but it is certainly not the only one troubling us. There is widespread con cern about the effort un derway to make the Ameri can people conform to cer tain goals designed by fed eral planners. These, plan ners are convinced that with an open federal checkbook and enough bu reaucrats sitting on the banks of the Potomac, they can remake America ac cording to their blueprints. We find that people have their own opinions about how they should live. Any one who has come to Washington to try to ob tain some of the “free” federal money soon learns that there are a lot of strings tied to these out lays, and problems that once could be ironed out in a matter of minutes over a cup of coffee in the county seat can take months and years when they are brought to the massive complex of ce ment and granite buildings here.

There are side effects in this outlay of funds. Federal spending is at such a high level and forms such a portion of the cash flow in the country that the consumer and the tax payer are aware of both inflation and the fact that there are no “free” federal monies. The applicants for these programs soon learn that the distribution process is not at all even. One of the aspects of centralization of power in Washington has developed into a constant irritating force in the public schools of the country. For many years, the federal govern ment gave out funds with no effort to dictate local school policies. All that has shifted now. Indeed, one often wonders if fed eral policies have not lost sight of the prime objec tive of the schools which is to educate the pupil. Children are bused miles beyond their neighborhood school to satisfy the social whims of some planner in the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Years ago students had to walk to school. Now they often have to ride beyond the bounds of reason. We are confronted today by a national fear of | crime. Paradoxically, in I spite of our great peril CHOWAN "-* lll KDKNYON. NOBfli riMIJM* —natmw OCTOBER M ■««. '•' ■■ ■ • : * from crime rates which rise by the month, we ere greatly divided as to how to cope with it In my judgment, we will not make much progress in our efforts to control crime until we recognize that the certainty of punishment is the greatest deterrent of criminal acts. We have prided our selves on the responsive ness of government to the people, and these are some of the matters that are foremost on the hearts of those who move the coun try in new directions. Bob Scott: Law and Order Concern Os All RALEIGH—Lt. Gov. Bob Scott said law and order is the business of every one in North Carolina. “It is the business of parents, of churches, of schools, civic clubs and industries of North Caro lina,” Scott said. Govern ment has a great responsi bility to maintain order and uphold trie law, but it cannot do the job alone. “Law and order must be maintained if we are to have a peaceful, progres sive and prosperous state,” he added. “I have proposed an ef fective program for main taining fair and firm law and order. Briefly, this is my program: —“We shall have a gov ernment of laws rather than of men, a position I want to make crystal clear. The law will be up held and law enforcement Officers will receive full support under my adminis tration.” —"We will establish a police academy for train ing law enforcement of ficers. This training should include riot control. —“I recommend that a statewide police informa tion network be establish ed in North Carolina, link ing all law enforcement agencies in the state. —“We should provide more personnel for the State Bureau of Investi gation and other state law enforcement agencies. —“We should provide law enforcement officers with the latest and best equipment available to perform their duties. —“We should encourage local governments to pay better salaries to law en forcement officers and provide more fringe bene fits. —“The state and local governments should work to develop programs to provide better housing and better job opportunities coupled with more empha sis on vocational training. The programs would be aimed at eliminating con ditions that breed crime, unrest and lawlessness. Make Church - Going A Habit ... SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON GOD’S OWN PEOPLE International Sunday School Lesson for Oct. 27 Memory Selection: “Ye are a chosen genera tion, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a pe culiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of dark ness into his marvellous light.”—l Peter 2:9. Lesson Text: I Peter 1:2; 10-25; 2:1-17. The central truth contained in our lesson to day is that Christians are God’s special people, chosen by Him to live according to His lights, and to do His will among the peoples of the world. More concisely, still, the aim of this lesson is to stress die necessity for awareness on the part of Christians their obligations, as God’s own people, to lead others to be saved in His holy name. For it was through the shedding of Christ’s precious blood that salvation was brought to sinners in Christ’s own time; that salvation is brought to us in our own day and time. Surely we cannot fail to respond to such love—respond in the way that He wants us to —by spreading His gospel, and the comfort and security it brings to the yet unsaved of our own generation. Times change, yet human nature changes little. In the early days of Christianity the early Chris tians were faced with prospects of jail, of tor ture, of death and imprisonment for their be liefs. Today we are blessed with freedom of speech, of movement, with freedom to worship as we choose; but we face the gravest of uncertainties as our world has (through modern travel facili ties) has grown smaller and more compact; as man’s questing and sometimes brilliant mind has conquered the mysteries of the atom, and of outer space. Modern weapons and aggressive nationals add to our danger. Yes, indeed, today we are more than ever in need of the awareness that we are “special” to God; in need of the comfort and reassurance that our belief in Him brings to our troubled minds and innermost beings. For it is only when our faith and our hopes are contained in God, that we can find the strength to go through life to our ultimate fulfillment. And—as the writer in I Peter reminds us—our redemption was not bought with tangible things— neither with gold, or silver, or anything of that ilk, but with the precious blood of Christ’s body. The supreme sacrifice, made out of an all-encom- . passing love for mankind. This world in which we have our being today is not the ultimate goal of our existence; we are ' but pilgrims passing through to better things.. But reverence for the Almighty and a measured consideration for His holiness and His laws against sin and unrighteousness must be the stepping stones to our realization of our own particular Promised Land. We are but agents of God’s mighty purpose in this world, of necessity constrained to serve God, Concluded on Page 2 BELK - TYLER’S EDENTON’S SHOPPING CENTER HHIIIMMNIUHIHNNIINHNNNHIHNIHnumMIHIWHINMiINWNIMIIIMIIMHIII W.
