Since last reporting to
you, the House agreed to a
compromise with the Sen
ate on the Higher Educa
tion Act concerning stu
dent loans. This author
izes federal market ad
justment payments to lend
ers with respect to insured
student loans when neces
sary in the light of eco
nomic conditions, in order
to assure that college stu
dents will have reasonable
access to such loans up to
a 10 per cent interest
charge, with the student
paying seven per cent and
the federal government
guaranteeing the other
three per cent.
The House also passed
and sent to the Senate an
extension of one year of
the peanut acreage control
legislation. This provides
the authority to lease, sell
and transfer peanut acre
age allotments within a
given county. Under no
condition can these allot
ments be transferred across
county lines.
Also of interest to our
farmers is the fact that the
President has signed into
law the Seed Certification
Act. As previously report
ed, this bill will insure uni

qualities of seeds which

merce, subject to standards
approved by the United
States Department of Ag
riculture.
Os major importance and
long debate was the House
consideration of a bill “To
Amend and Extend Laws
Relating to Housing and
Urban Development and for
Other Purposes.”
During the debate an
amendment was proposed
which would authorize the
insurance of loans made
for the purpose of financ
ing the purchase of mobile
homes. The use of this
type housing has become a
way of life here in th
United States. The changes
and complexities of our
economic structure have
caused many people to
adopt this type housing as
a matter .of convenience
and financial savings.
Another amendment of
fered would direct the sec
retary of HUD to assure,
to the extent possible, that
there is no unreasonable
restraint 'by contract or
practice against the em
ployment of new or iro
proved technologies or
methods of construction in
connection with housing
programs administered by
him.
THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDEMTON, NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY OCTOBER 30. IMS.
Simply started, this
amendment provides for
federal financing for the
assembly-line production of
moderate and low - priced
housing. This was opposed
vigorously by some of the
larger unions, based on
their fear that this mass
manufacture of pre- fabri
cated housing would threat
en their security. It is my
opinion that if adequate
financing at reasonable
rates of interest could be
offered, there will be cre
ated enough work through
demand for the contractors
and the unions, as well as
those who enter the mass
production field.
As finally approved by
the House, this legislation
will require that under the
urban development pro
grams, for each residence
that is tom down another
must be built as a replace
ment. All members of the
North Carolina delegation
voted favorably for final
passage of this legislation.
Millions Benefit
By SS Program
More than one and a
third million Americans
and one million of their
dependents have learned
they can Count on social
security not just when
they retire, but to help see
them through misfortune
now. They have one thing
in common: serious sick
ness or accident has caused
them untold hardships.
Some are ex - servicemen
whose wounds disabled
them. Some are workers
who never missed a day of
work until sickness or acci
dent struck them down.
Some are children whose
father or mother suddenly
became disabled. Each re
ceives a monthly disability
check from social security.
When social security be
gan nearly 35 years ago it
was only a program for re
tirement. But now it’s a
lot more than that. It has
been improved to cover
more and more instances
cf unforeseen catastrophe
which strike the young as
well as the old. Disability
is just one of these in
stances. When you are
talking about social secur
ity, you’re talking about
something to be counted on
now. And when you’re
thinking about lifetime pro
tection, you’re thinking
about social security.
Individuals who have
questions about various
parts of the social security
program are urged to con
tact the social security of
fice to get proper and
timely information. Asking
a friend or neighbor who
is a beneficiary for infor
mation about social secur
ity is not always wise be
cause the facts in each case
are not necessarily the
same. The people in the
social security office at 401
South Dyer Street, Eliza
beth City; N. C., telephone
338-3931, will be glad to
be of assistance.

GOD’S JUDGMENT ON JUDAH
International Sunday School Lesson for Nov. 2
Memory Selection: “Therefore now amend your
ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the
Lord your God; and the Lord will repent him of
the evil that he hath pronounced against you.”—
Jeremiah 26113.
Lesson Text: Jeremiah 7; 26; 52.
The central truth of this lesson is that disobe
dience to God’s ordinances inevitably ends in
both personal and national decay, and national
disaster.
If we are in any doubt on this score, we have
only to reflect on the story of the downfall of
Judah, as depicted so graphically for us in the
Book of Jeremiah. Indeed, in our own day and
time we have witnessed in very recent years the
downfall of hitherto great nations who went
against Christian principles and beliefs.
Judah would not live according to God’s laws;
neither would she heed the warnings that Jere
miah, at God’s bidding, gave to her on more
than one occasion.
Judah had suffered spiritually under the re
gime of King Zedekiah; idolatry was rampant,
and the people only gave lip-service to the Lord
in His Temple. They shirked the discipline the
Christian life would impose upon them. They
ignored the fact that—while they went through
the motions of worship—God knew what was
truly in their hearts.
Thus it was that Jeremiah refused Zedekiah’s
command to intercede for Judah, for he (Jere
miah) believed that Judah had sinned too long
to escape the fate that was in store for her. And
for this refusal, he was imprisoned and exiled.
Are we, ourselves, entirely innocent of the
sms of the Judeans? Are we not equally guilty
with them in some of out attitudes? Our idols
may just be different—wealth, position, our com
fort and ease. The broad, wide avenue of spir
itual laxity is so much easier to travel than the
thorny path of self-discipline and truth that God
would have us tread.
We are prone to take undue advantage of our
fellowmen, and we, too, are sometimes blind to
the fact that, although God’s punishments are
sometimes seemingly exceedingly harsh, they are
always intended, in love, to have a redemptive
purpose. The crosses we may be asked to bear
will invariably strengthen our spiritual awareness
and discipline our souls.
We, in this day and time, are equally in need
of responsible God-motivated leaders—not hypo
crites or rabble-rousers —but Christian-oriented
men who have the courage to speak out and call
us to order.
Wff need to repent. We need to mend our
spiritual fences. We must ever be aware of the
inevitability of God’s judgment upon the disobe
dient who ignore His ways and refuse to ac
knowledge guilt and the need for reformation.
We need to acknowledge the fact that we are
constantly in need at spiritual renewal.
