Maps Os State
Are Distributed
RALEIGH—The new of
ficial 1969 North Carolina
highway maps have started
arriving at the State High
way Commission here and
distribution will be made
as speedily as possible, H.
Boyce Midgette, state lo
cating engineer, said today.
Midgette said that the
maps are being sent to
other state agencies which
help get them to motorists
and that they will also
be available to persons de
siring them at the High
way Building on Wilming
ton Street.
The Department of Con
servation and Development,
which promotes tourism
and operates the state’s
Welcome Centers, annually
gets 100,000 copies of the
maps. Other agencies,
such as the State Highway
Patrol and the State Ports
Authority, get sm a 1 l'e r
quotas.
The new maps contain
all of the latest road in
formation, as well as a list
of places of interest in the
state. The back is covered
with multi-colored scenes
of North Carolina, includ
ing scenic spots and re
sorts.
Not enough maps to meet
the initial demand have
been received, Midgette
said, but deliveries from
the printer are expected
daily.
Persons wishing a copy
of the map can get one
by writing the State High
way Commission but Mid
gette asked tha‘ they use
postcards for faster hand
ling.
The first copy of the new
map was presented to Gov.
Bob Scott by Highway
Commission Chairman
Lauch Faircloth.

Lesson
Continued from Page 4
It is not necessarily true
that a man is a devout
Christian, just because he
reads the Bible. One must
apply to one’s own life
v/hat one reads that is
the truly devout Christian.
The study of the Bible
should be purposeful. It
should be primarily con
cerned with learning. This
may take more than one
reading, for one read
ing, one particular facet
itself felt; in the
second reading, another; in
a third, a deeper insight
brings to light a still dif
ferent slant and so on.
For as we grow, we should
learn; and as we learn, we
should grow. Our knowl
edge of the Bible, and of
its portent, should .measure
our growth.

Senator Sam Ervin Says
WASHINGTON The
recent action by the lowa
legislature calling for a
national convention to
amend the Constitution
makes it urgent that Con
gress enact legislation to
establish orderly proced
ures relating to such a
convention.
lowa’s petition, if the
other 33 petitions are in
order, is one shy of the
requisite number of states
necessary to require Con
gress to issue such a call.
The fact is that there is a
total lack of precedents
concerning this method of
amending the Constitution.
Until now, Congress has
proposed amendments to
the Constitution, and the
alternative amendment pro
cess by constitutional con
vention has been unused.
Soon there is a likelihood
that Congress will be faced
with a mandate to call a
national convention. The
Constitution states emphat
ically that “Congress shall
call a convention” for the
purpose of amending the
Constitution upon applica
tion of two-thirds of the
state legislatures.
At the last Congress and
again at this Congress, I
introduced a bill to clarify
the confusion which has
developed over convention
procedures. Many have
expressed fears about such
a convention. In my judg
ment, most of these con
cerns arise out of fear that
a convention might seek to
rewrite the entire Consti
tution. Recognizing this,
and also '.he duty of Con
gress to deal with the
problem under the present
circumstances, my bill es
tablishes the framework of
such a convention and
deals with the procedural
complexities that have nev
er before been dealt with
by law.
The measure which I
have introduced in no way
seeks to resolve the sub
stantive aspects of appor
tionment of state legislat
ure-, which seems to have
brought out the petitions to
Congress and created the
possibility of a convention.
Instead, it deals with pe
titions, their transmiital,
their effective period, their
.escission, the convention
call, the selection of dele
gates, the selection of the
presiding officer, the man
ner of voting, the proposal
of amendments, and the
termination of a conven
tion. Essentially, my bill
would substitute an estab
lished procedure for vary
ing opinions as to how
these procedural questions
be resolved.
Under my bill, the states
would propose individual
amendments, and the con
vention would be called
when two-thirds of the
states petitioned Congress
on the same subject. Dele

My bill would also pro

Under it, the number of
delegates would equal the
membership in both Hous

would be chosen at large,

Other provisions of my
bill would provide that pe
