' "^ ? it was announced that James Sprunt dty of North Carolina UNC) at Wilmington a ill be offering a college transfer program in Duplin The new established General Education Cur riculum with the College Transfer Option will mean much to Duplin County. This program will enable students from Dup lin, who, for one reason or another, can not go off to college, an opportunity to get their first year of college at home. Hie two main objectives of this program are: to provide the student with a general education in the humanities and social sciences leading to the two-year associate degree, and'or to provide the student with the freshman level of course work leading to the four-year baccalaureate degree. Each of us as citizens of Duplin County should be proud of the efforts and fine programs ""SI. As JSI steps forward, so should we, and give our wholehearted support to this fine program. STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL I ? ** ? It is hard to realize that summer U over and this week the school bells rang throughout our county, and many others. I urge each person interested in the education of our chil dren to cooperate in doing his or her pan to make this a suc cessful school year. These boys and girls of today will be our leaders tomorrow.-And tomorrow we will need stronger leadership than ever before in the history of this great co untry. ? ??*??? The chant of the auctioneer in Duplin last week sung dol lars in the pockets at weary tobacco farffers. It has been a long, hard; and wet hot bu rning season. And while the farmer is grateful for seem ingly high sales, remember if tobacco had gone up since Wo rld War II proportionately with building materials and a* few other products, the farmer would be getting 18.00 per po und instead of 80* per pound for his crop. ******* Oir area was surely smiled upon when the path of Camele was formed. One reporter said it was the most destructive st orm since 1935. Seems that I've never heard of that storm, in fact "Hazel" back in 1954 was the first hurricane I was personally acquainted with. Am sure there were earlier ones but our present news media he lps to make these things more impressionable. The pictures on TV in the last few days of Gulfport, Mississippi and other places of destruction will be hard to forget. *?????? Ruth Grady and daughter Ma rgaret was in town last week end. Surely was good to see her for a few minutes. City life (Chapel Hill) seems to be agreeing with Ruth, and I am sure that she is enjoy ing it, but we really do miss her. ? K. ? ? Our lovely little typist, Jo Anne Sorners left us last week to become a part of'the off ice personnel at Reeves Brothers. Jo Anne had en deared herself to all of us here at the Times and we do miss her. Lots of luck, "Little Jo." we're for you one hundred percent. My y<*mg friends, Mr. and Mrs. Randall Callahan of Rt. 2, Pink Hill are the proud pa rents of a baby girl Mary An gella, born August 21, 1969 at Duplin General Hospital. Mrs. Callahan is the former Debbie Quinn of Kenansvtlle. If for no reason other than Mary Angella, August 21st would be a very special day for Deb bie and Randall. But there are other reasons. Debbie's mother Juanita Quinn had a birthday - August 21st. Oh yes?and one other reason?Randall's mother, Mrs. Rolland Thigpen, forme rly Mary Ellis Thomas, also had a birthday August 21st.

(I Perer l: 3-8) A cartoon in a leading ma gazine recently showed a small boy standing beside his desk in a schoolroom and saying to is teacher in repose to her question, "what's in it for me? I l"*n Sot a thousand dollars I on T V last night for answer ing the same question." "Wh at s in it for me?" is the so mewhat selfish cry everywhere ? in our age. And yet can we n.0' saX that this cry is con sidered legitimate in our free enterprise system in our gr eat country? Any good busi ? 1*w ""an who makes an invest I Inem .wlu "h this question be fore he invests. And, my friends, it is I fhf0 a, legitimate question in the spiritual realm. Jesus encouraged men to "lay up for yourselves treasures in hea ven ' (Man. 6:20). Christianity is a practical way of life, a man who invests his life in the hands of our Lord Jesus Christ can expect real and pr actical returns. Peter in our SSTLZZr" some won derful benefits which come from being a Christian showing r, Piys 10 serve Jesus" ? First. Peter would show us that being a Christian means a new life. He states I? J 411 ??ha th begotten us again". As Paul puts it. "old things are passed away, behold all th ings are become new." We wnM ^ Wltk the word "new". Most any pol itical leader can catch the ear of the people of our nation by claiming that he is going to bring something new. Thus thr0Ugh was called the new order", the n new , day", the "new eco nomy , the " new deal" and ?l? m*. Bm ? Hower in a speech at the Io *a State Fair.

BPS "made -w" and Z '? revolutionary ch.nge, ' inning of the wonderful benef its of the Christian life. Pe ter speaks in verse 3 of "a lively (living) hope." If you take a man's hope away he is lost indeed. Men des perately need this "living hope" to spur them on today. The bright hopes of earth many time s encourage us. but these hopes sometime die and fade away. But this is a living hope that cannot and will not die. it is as the writer of Hebrews puts it "an anchor of the soul, both sure and st eadfast" (Heb. 6:19). It will encourage us here; it will be come a reality In that day when Our Lord Jesus Christ comes, iff the mdaiftlrn* we can be "looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of our Lord and Savior Jesus Ch rist." Titus 2:13. But the benefits of the Ch ristian life listed by Peter continue. He says the Chris tian has an inheritance, "in corruptible, undeftled and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you." V. 4 A man said to me recently that he was going to invest all his extra money In real estate for this, he said, is the most de pendable investment that a man can make. And he is proba bly right as far as this world is concerned. But the trou ble is, even this kind of investment is corruptible and will fade away. But our eternal inheritance in Christ Is not corruptible nor will it fade away. But you may be like the men in Chicago who said to me one day, 'T don't want my 'pie in the sky'; I want it now.' But consider, my friend, this life in the light of eternity, is so ex tremely 3hort. If there is an eternal life for the redee med or an eternal death for the unredeemed, our main pur suit in this life is to pre pare for eternity. And a part of this preparation is to "lay up for ourselves and et ernal treasure, an eternal inheritance. We could go on but let me simple mention two other benefits. One is our secu rity in Christ. Why are we secure? Because as Peter puts it in V. 5 we "are kept by the power of God through faith" This is reason enough to feel secure for "underneath and the everlasting arms" of God. Fi' aiy. though we may have trials, we have glorious victorv at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ Paul does not attempt to hide the fact that the Christian life en tail- some suffering.

In reaching a judgment in favor of die deployment of the ABM system, 1 weighed die ar guments- pro -and con-relating to what seemed to me to be the supreme questions Involved in this controversy, and have come to these conclusions: First: Can the Soviets by the mld-1970*s acquire a capa bility sufficient to endanger our strategic missile deterrent?

The purpose of this pro cedure is to insure that the House does not act hastily on laws which so vitally affect our basic fiscal stability without the Ways and Means Committee having had an opportunity to make a studied and careful ev aluation of each item in the 1411 and to know how it affects our revenues in dollars and cents. There were provisions in this bill like extension of the sur tax from January until June, 1970 at a 5^> rate, and other features which I did not like and would not have voted for had they been presented as separate items, but taken on balance and as a whole, I believe that the act provides a considerably more equitable overall Utx'st ructure and affords deserved -and needed relief to the lower and middle-income taxpayers who still bear the burden of paying most of the tax levied by the federal government. Relief will not be dramatic, but 1 am confident that the gr- ?. eat majority of lower and mid dle income taxpayers will re ceive measurable relief from this bill, assuming that it is ap proved by the Senate and signed by the President in substantially the form it passed the House.
