From The Desk Of Senator Forsyth
The North Caredia General As
sembly is shaping up this week to
debate the Minimum Wage bill.
There have been two bills introduc
ed and organised labor is pushing
the bill which makes a minimum
wage of 75 cents an bour twith ex
emptions) mandatory. I wiU op
pose this measure for several rea
sons. One reason being that if en
acted into law it will eliminate a
great number of the very young
and a great number in the *cty
five year eld age bracket. I am
particularly concerned about the
latter age group because these peo
ple would be unable to quality for
social security if not employed for
a period of six quarters and many
would eventually become wards of
the State. My major reason for op
posing this bill is that it will hind
er our drive in attracting new in
dustry to North Carolina. Should
such a bill t>e passed by the 1959
Legislature, it will be the first such
law put into effect by any state tn
the southeastern United States and
one of nine in the nation. New in
dustry coming into the State will
look with disfavor upon such a
law, not because of the 75 cents an
hour minimum wage but because
of the type of legislation. I am cer
tainly and definitely not opposed to
any individual making 75 cents an
hour, but I do think that this bill
?will retard the economy of our
State. I. personally, cannot employ
an individual for less than the
$1.00 an hour now prescribed by
Federal legislation.
A HECTIC WEEK OF COM- j
M1TTEE MEETINGS? A real flur
ry of statewide measures and
some controversial local bills be
ing introduced this week have
*" to say the least, v?ry dis
turbing. The several factions in all
of my counties do not always agree
(it is as it should be).
GOVERNOR'S RECEPTION? A
real nice party at the Governor's
Mansion was held on the evening
of March 1?. The members of the
Legislature their families and
guests, were received by Governor
and Mrs. Hodges, Lieutenant-Gov
ernor and Mrs. Barnhart, members
of the Council of State and their
wives, and the Justices of the Sup
reme Court and their wives. The
members of the Legislature from
the far west attended.
CLAY COUNTY MEETING? Your
Senator arranged a meeting with
the Commissioners of Clay County
and the members of the Blue Ridge
Cooperative to talk about future
taxation of the Blue Ridge Cooper
ative. I proposed a permissive
manner of tax equivalent rather
than the usual method of taxa
tion assessed by the Utilities Com
mission. The reason? most of the
physical assets of the Cooperative
are located in Georgia and under
a permissive taxation progran
North Carolina would receive taxes j
for Clay County and (feorgia would i
receive taxes fur Georgia counties, i
Under this program, approved by j
the public power system, tax equiv- j
alent could be deducted directly
from profits. Hence, Clay County
would receive two or three times
more than under a local taxation
program. Under the charter. Blue
Ridge Electric Cooperative would
start paying taxes in I960.
This is already too long a col
umn. If there is any way that I
can help, please command.

Easter Season
Marv S. is in her 30's. She lies all day and night on a
small folding bed. Her legs are bent up under her- The disease
is in her arms- also. So she can no longer turn the pages of a
book. One eve is blind due to bed-infection: the other may be
affected. And vet her heart sings the Easter "Alleluia!"
Christ's Faster jov is hers!
Christ has risen from the dead. And as in Adam all die,
so in Christ all ill be made to live. How? In what kind of
bodv.
Saint Paul tells us much about the faithful Christian's
resurrection. "What is sown in corruption rises in 1NCOR
Rl'PTION" (1 Cor 15-42). The body can no more be cor
rupted bv decav or affected by heat. cold, or disease. "They
shall neither huneer nor thirst anvmore. neither shall the sun
strike them nor anv heat . . . and God will wipe away every
tear from their eves" (Rev. 7: 16-17V
As the body of Christ did GLOW at his transfiguration
and resurrection, so will a Christian's. "What is sown in dis
honor rises, in plorv" (1 Cor 1 5 :43V The sun, the moon, the
stars, each has its own plorv: "so also with the resurrection of
the dead" (1 Cor. IV. 41V Yes. "the just shall shine forth like
^ the ?ii? iir-t+K-kini'drop of their Father" (Mt 11: 41') because
" Christ T'will refashion the bod*- of our lowliness, conforming
it to the bodv of his plorv" (Phil 3: 21 V
The risen bodv shall be freed of its present heaviness and
limits. It will be capable of moving with great AGILITY and
the utmost ense and swiftness. "What is sown in weakness rises
in power" (I Cor. 15: 43). We shall move with speed of
tho'ioht.
"What is sown, a natural bodv rises, a SPIRITUAL bodv"
CI Cor. 15: 441. Therefore was Christ able to pass out of the
sealed tomb. And as he passed throuph the bolted doors of the
upper room, so shall the risen Christian have freedom to pass
throuah marterial thinps.
And the body shall be the most perfect possible to each
faithful soul. For since the body has borne the brunt of the
battle aeainst temptation, and has cooperated in the caiTying
out of acts of virtue, it is most just that it should share in the
reward given the soul. Thus the glory of God's first Creation
shall be restored!
The blind from nature or disease, the lame, the maimed
and the paraly/ed in any of their members shall rise again
with entire and perfect bodies- The scars which men have re
ceived in witnessing to Christ, shall srine forth like the wounds
of Christ, with a brilliancy far more resplendent than that of
gold and of precious stones. Bodies wasted by disease or old
<h vhall be repaired in perpetual youth through the power of
Christ. Men and women shall have special bauty due to their
faithfulness as wives and husbands, fathers and mothers, and
virgins (Rev 14: 5).
Our hope must be put in Jesus Christ above all: "I am the
Resurrection and the Life" (Jn 1 1 : 25). Adv*

lead to a denial of
such rights to other fellow citizens
in different circumataacM. For in
out* tidqif Hitler. beg?n de
stroying certain natural rights, for
one vaHB W citUeas, say, sterilising
unmarried mothers, he more easily
proceeded to sterilizing those citi
zens who disagreed with him politi
cally. Then he proceeded to violate I
other human rights by extending his |
power to liquidate cripples, incur
able* and finally his enemies.
Second Argument: The right of
human reproduction is one of the
moat basic of human rights. It is
concerned with the family itself. And
the family la * social unit antecedent
to the State, for groups of families
mafce up the State. Now when the
Stat* eliminates the possibility of
reproduction, in denying such a
natural human right to a person
through sterilization, it is directly
violating the natural law as consti
tuted by Almighty God, Creator of
all life.
Take this caae of an example. An
unwed mother has three illegitimate
children with or without any person
al guilt on Her past before the age
of 9. The State orders her ster
ilized- Then through the hard work
of tyer pastor, or her friends, or the
local welfare worker, she adjusts
herself, enters a satisfactory mar
riage. Then she realize in her late
tweatfef th?t she, as well as her
husband, have been denied the abil
ity to raise a family of their own.
What an injustice, to punish people,
especially repentant people, because
some Individuals in political office
pick an extremely simple solution to
a very complex and very human pro
blem.
Third Argument: Such sterilization
would then increase promiscuity
among our young people. There
would no longer be the deterrent of
a possible pregnancy and the mor
als of suet people would re
ceive an additional blow from offi
cials (a places of responsibility who
should help safeguard the morals
of our teen-agers, not further endang
er them.
Fourth Argument: Before giving
an alternate solution, I have one
rather personal argument that many
others can probably duplicate. A
good friend of mine and his wife
adopted a tiny infant, who happened
E
StS i
passing. The solid basic argwneitt*
mssnr^L j
ton behind this bill la a financial
reason. The State of North Carolina
wants to save money that might
have to be given to feed third and
fourth illegitimate children on the
relief roles. Then, it could be argued,
''Why not go to the next step, and .
plan enthanasia for all people, over
7? years of age on welfare, or eli
minate all inmates of mental hospi
tals? They are burdens to the state
and they cost North Carolina money
too." Are we living in a few society
of free men or are we aping Soviet
Russia with such very fine distinc
tions in a aeo-materiallst state?
Proposed Alternate Solutions:
If this bill cannot be decisively de
feated as it stands, because North
Carolina needs more funds for sup
er-highways. public parks, and for
the comfort of those who are crafty
enough not to get caught, in similar
predicaments, then I propose this
alternate: namely, that the State of
North Carolina pay welfare checks
for a mother and only the first
three illegitimate children. However,
if there be a fourth, which percen
tage ? wise becomes less unlikely
than a second (or third), then the
local welfare worker can appeal to
private charity and to the charity of
Christian Churches in the individual
county. I can speak for my local
church in Murphy, that our people
are able and willing to make up the
deficit, in any funds from private
charity, for such fourth child cases
in Cherckee County. I am certain
that other Christian Churches in
every county of the state would do
the same. Actually, as Christians,
we have the duty to go in mercy and
in compassion, and provide privately
for all such children.
By putting the whole burden of the
charity of Jesus Christ on the gov
ernment, we Christians are making
destitution fashionable, We are for
feiting our birthright as Christian
brothers. We are really paying morel
money in taxes to have welfare
work done through political servants
than we could do directly, as Christ
ians. and we are turning a deaf ear
to the words of the Savior which He
will surely speak at our Last Judge
ment: "I was hungry, and you did
not give me to eat. I was naked and
you clothed me not. I was sick and
did not come to me. As long as you

the greatest water level stabtflxa

TV A said that the water tempera
ture* are valuable because temper
ature is the factor that largety con
trols spawning. Observations will be
made weekly, or twice weekly, at
depths varying from one half loot
to IS feet below the water surface. -
Most desirable game and pan
fishes in TVA lakes spawn during
the spring season. Water tempera
ture are controlling factors, and ex
ert a decisively regulatory influence
when they rise to 80-65 degrees. |
Spawning in black bass, for example,
may be initiated at 60-45 degrees and
then recede with a temporary re
cession in water temperature!
Spawning wil be resume when tem
peratures again reach the critical
level of 60-65 degrees.
The readings will be taken in these:
TVA lakes; Watauga at Highway;
67; Cherokee at Highway 2SE:
Douglas at Dandridge; Fontana at
Hazel Creek; Chatuge at Highway

Creek and Highway 431; Kentucky at
Johnsonville Highway Bridge and
Eggners Ferry Bridge.
-
did not do this to the best of my
brethern, (even to that illegimitate
infant.) you did not do it to me."
In conclusion, I ask you in the
name of your constituents, who are
ail God-fearing and God-loving peo
ple in North Carolina, to oppose a
bill which would deny a person
whether innocent, guilty or repen
tant a basic human right, given by
the creator in the natural law, just
because of an abuse of that right,
under the guise of balancing a truly
prosperous state budget ... North
Carolina is known for good govern
ment and for high ideals. Let us
b^ sure to keep this reputation for
our state always, with its guarantee
of life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness for everyone.
Respectfully yours in Christ our
Lord,
