SCRIPTURE FOR THE WEEK:
I know not thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot:
I would thou wert cold or hot.-- Revelation 3:15,
?
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:
The keenest pangs the wretched find
Are rapture to the dreary voice.
The leafless desert of the mind.
The waste of feelings unemployed.
? Byron
Wanted---10,000 Trained Workers
North Carolina's most wasted resource is
her idle manpower, poorly educated and in
adequately trained. Many persons now in this
rejected group can make an important eco
nomic contribution to society through some
form of purposeful employment, if given the
opportunity to develop their work potentials.
It is" good sense for society to help the in
dividual to help himself, investment in train
ing and other assistance to enable unemplo
yed persons to adjust to changing job re
quirements pays off in increased tax re
turns, lower social welfare costs and re
duced unemployment insurance payments. The
resulting employment also reduces manpower
waste, delinquency, vandalism and crime; and
makes possible better education, housing, and
health tor future North Carolinians. More sig
nificantly, getting a job provides the up-llft
of accomplishment to the individual and con
tributes to die stability of family and com
munity life.
Recent statistics from die Bureau of Em
ployment Security Research of North Carolina
indicate demands for skilled and trained work
ers to be great. By example, by the fall
of 1966, North Carolina will need an addit
ional 8,944 trained personnel in business
occupations such as Accounting, Secretarial
duties sales and mangement; and 2,193 train
ed automobile-truck mechanics.
The James Sprunt Insltute will provide op
portunities for training that have never been
offered in Duplin County.
To meet die demand for business trained
people, three full-time programs in the fol
lowing areas of study will begin September
9.
Business Administration
Accounting
Executive Secretarial
To meet die demand for Automobile
truck mechanics, a full-time program in Au
tomobile mechanics will also begin Septem
ber 9. Student cost for all courses of study
is only $10 per month plus books and supp
lies.
Obsolete Samaritan ?
"I aont want to get involved."
That was the excuse given by some 40
odd Nejw Yorkers who watched a woman be
ing stabbed to death and did not go to her
assistance or call the police.
The same thing happened in Richmond, va..
Thursday afternoon when a dozen people stood
by while a woman was being stabbed by an
attacker. Finally, however, a student arrived
an die scene apdgeat to the woman's assis
tance and diverted her attacker's attention
long enough for her to escape, others who
had watched in curious but callous Indiffer
ence left the scene as police arrived, one
man muttering, "I don't want to be Invol
ved."
Sucn an attitude would have been In times
past, seemed inconceivable. But It Is obvious
that these two recent occurrences, by no
means the only ones, are evidence of a grow
ing philosophy not only in matters of crime
but In other matters, too.
-1 It is possible that attitudes of law enforce
ment officers and the courts themselves in
. which even witnesses are regarded and some
times treated as criminals nave created such
distrust and distaste for these agents of jus
tice that "I don't want to get Involved" Is
a natural reaction.
Whatever It Is, this sickness In society
cannot be Ignored. The "good Samaritan'
should not become obsolete.

Tobacco Surplus
wuc. means oi neiping 10 reduce cne our*
densome surplus of flue cured tobacco would
be to sell tobacco to?countries behind the Iron
Curtain.
This possibility has been suggested seri
ously and strongly in the pastfew days by
Norm Carolina' s Senator B. Everett Jordan.
It is not the first time that such a proposal
has beer, discussed, but previous suggestions
have lacked serious consideration.
It is worth studying now whether the tobac
co Industry should follow through on Senator
Jordan's suggestion and see if a program can
be worked out by which surplus leaf could
be sold to Communist countries.
Frankly, we see nothing wrong with the idea,
if the details can be worked out satisfac
torily for this country and for the tobacco
industry. Moreover, If this surplus tobacco
can be sold for cash to markets behind die
Iron Curtain it should prove beneficial to all
concerned.
In die first place, securing new cash mar
kets would mean we would not be selling the
tobacco to countries who would buy it with
foreign aid funds from the United States. In
die second place, there would be no sales
on credit; It would be strictly cash and car
ry.
The financial arrangements certainly should
be satisfactory to all concerned, and equally
Important to our leaf Industry could begin to
make a significant dent in reducing the pre
sent dangerously high surplus of some 700
million pounds.
'' There would, of course, be considerable red
tape to go through before such deals could
be approved and Implemented, but the ur
gency of the need to find ways to reduce
the surplus makes worth the effort If new
cash markets can be established.
The wheat program which was approved
last year provides for the movement of this
surplus to Communist nations under a State
department program. The movement of surplus
tobacco under a similar program, for cash,
ought to be given serious thought and con
sideration.
Other trade is carried on with Communist
countries; tobacco ought to fit into a program
of similar nature. The suggestion is, at feast,
one new means for reducing a surplus which
threatens die domestic tobacco industry. r

JULY 19-25,1964

SENATOR
SAM ERVIN
? SAYS *
In another far-reaching de
cision the U.S. Supreme Court
has ruled that the equal pro
tection clause of the 14th A
mendment " requires that the
seats in both houses of a bi
cameral state legislature must
be apportioned on a popula
tion basis." The latest June 15
ruling, the fourth in a series
which began on March 26, 1962
with Baker ?. Carr. is certain
to affect virtually every state
in the Union. It further spells
out the new court doctrine of
"one man, one vote" on legis
lative representation, and ap
plies it now to State Senates.
These four decisions rare
sent a drastic departure from
all prior Supreme Court posi
tions. Until the Tennessee state
legislature reapportionment
case of Baker v. Carr, the
Court had taken the position
that this was a political ques
tion and not a Judicial ques
tion. The majority opinion in
the Baker v. Carr decision o
ver ruled this long held opinion.
v The dissenting Justices said
chat the Court was entering a
political thicket.
The June 15th cases involve
state legislative representation
in the six statps (rf New York,
Colorado, Maryland, Delaware,
Virginia, and Alabama. Justices
Harlan, Stewart and Clark in
strong dissents said that the
Court was not applying con
stitutional legal standards and
was forgetting the basic con
cepts of orderly governmental
processes.
Justice Harlan stated the ma
jor problem involved in his
conclusion: "These decisions
also cut deeply into the fabric
of our federalism, what must
follow from them may eventua
lly appear to be the product
of state Legislatures. Never
theless, no thinking person can
fail to recognize that the af
termath of these cases, howe
ver, desirable it may bethought
in Itself, will have been acn
leved at die cost of a radical
alteration in the relationship
between the states and the Fe
deral Government, more par
ticularly the Federal Judiciary. |
Only one who has an overbear
ing Impatience with the federal
system and its political proc
aa aa I
esses will believe that the cost
was not too high or was In
evitable."
Therln perhaps lies the crux
of the matter. The decisions
convey an Impatience by the ma
jority of the Court witn the es
tablished processes of govern
ment. Unfortunately, local and
state governments are some
times slow to perform their du
ties in reapportionment proce
dures. This attitude has brought
the counter attitude that not- _
hlng Is being done about die
matter. Those who believe In I.
local self government make a II
mistake when they fall to dls- II
charge their duties. There is II
always the Insistent demand II
that the Federal government |
perform the task for them.
But. the latest apportionment
decisions go far beyond the 1
usual questions of representat
ion and populatlom. The doc
trine has been expanded to In
clude State Senates which have 1
heretofore represented geogra
phical and other diverse Int
erests. It raises other possible
Federal questions. Will dm Su- >
preme Court continue this line
of decisions to conclude that
the United States senate must >
be based upon population in its
representation? what of the
Electoral College system of
electing the President and Vice
President? Congress has be
fore it many proposals to amend
the Constitution with respect to
the Electoral College system, i
but no new plan has received
a majority consensus. Admit- L
tedly. the Court is unlikely to i
enter these political thickets
soon, but there are court de
cisions now which furnish the J
basis for concern.
I have no doubt that repre
sentation problems ought to be L
met. Yet, the question remains
should die Court Institute these r
reforms? I think not, for court
decrees are unsuited for the po
litical decisions best calcula
ted to insure representative
government.

Christians of all times are
greatly Indebted to Luke, Be
loved Physician, accurate his
torian, faithful missionary,
humble servant of Jesus Christ.
Born in Antioch in Syria, a
Greek with broad education and
culture, he was a physician.
Luke was St. Paul's companion
from Troas to Phillippi and he
stayed there six years; he a
gain became Paul s companion
and remained with him to die
close of the narrative. Lukethe
Beloved Physician, was a great
help to Paul, who was feeble in
body. After Paul's death Luke
traveled widely preaching as he
went between A.D. IS and A.
O. 100. Luke was hanged from
an olive tree in Greece.
Luke the only Gentile writ
er of Scripture nas given us two
divinely inspired Books of the
New Testament; Luke that bears
his name and die Book of Acts
which gives the first 35 years
of the History of the Christian
Church, also the greatest mis
sionary book ever written.
Luke talked with Mary, the
mother of Jesus, and received
from her the matchless story
he could have had from no o
dier. Luke gathered from eye
witnesses ana ministers of me

of great Importance we owe
to the Gospel alone. The story
of Jesus' birth songs of the
nativity, incidents of Jesus'
boyhood, the raising of the son
of the Widow of Nain, the wom

Lazarus, Jesus' prayer on the
cross for his enemies, thewalk

Acts is a book of the con

CHILDREN OF THE RETIRED ?
DON'T LET PAPA GET SICK
YOU ARE somewhere around
age 40, have a family, and are
getting along well. You are nice
people. Your parents are retired.
If this fits you, you had better
have a look at your parents'
health insurance.
A couple that must be identi
fied only as Mr. and Mrs. W. P.
MacM. show the reason why.
Mr. Mac retired about three
years ago. He had done well, and
he and his wife had a fine way of
life in a neighborhood apartment
His retirement income added up
to $840 a month. He bad *8000.
in savings, and * **,000 cash
value on his paid-up life insur
ance.
He and Mrs. Mac decided they
wanted to give up the apartment
and move into one of the retire
ment villages that are now open
ing up everywhere. They chose
one where they would buy their
small cottage for *3,000 down,
and pay *70 a month on a mort
gage.
Then Mr. Mac began having
pains in his abdomen. When they
hadn't gone away after a couple
of weeks, Mrs. Mac made him go
to a doctor. He got a prescrip
tion. Still the pains didnt go
away. He went back to the doc
tor, this time got a thorough
check, and seven days later was
in a private hospital for an oper
ation. The children were told it
wasn't serious.
Four months after the opera
tion, Mr. Mac had returned home,
then gone back to the hospital,
and again had returned home and
once more gone back. A second
operation was pending, and the
*4,000 cash value on the life in
surance had been taken and
spent. "Which was all right," Mr.
Mac told his wife, "because I al
ways figured that as an emer
gency nestegg for us ..."
Eleven months after Mr. Mac?
first operation, the remaining
$9,000 in savings was down to
$6M. No end to the medical ex
penses was in sight. Mrs. Mac
notified the children that things
were getting serious.
The children, a son and a'
daughter, visualised the approach
ing disaster. They did what good
children of nice people do?They
took over. They moved the father
by ambulance to the daughter's
home. The son took the mother
. . . with small homes and the
no way except to separate them.
The son and daughter negotiated
with the retirement village to get
a $3,200 refund on the cottage.
The cost of nurses, hospitals,
and doctors from the time the
father went into the daughter's
home until he died was $6,700.
The son and daughter had to go
out and borrow about $4,000 to
cover this and the funeral, after
the mother's funds were gone.
And now the mother is living
alternately with them.
This is the tragedy that "nice!
people" in our society face. If'
they were poor, or were not
proud, there are charity doctors:
and hospitals. But nice people;
can't admit they are that poor,
and they are always proud.
So the nice children of retired
people should look to their par*
ents' health insurance, and buy:
some out of their own pockets if'
necessary. The insurance is not
all good. Some of it has brutal:
cut-off dates, while the cancer still'
spreads. But until something bet*
ter comes along, nice people,;
somehow, had better see that
their parents have some. '
