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.

five courses may be taken in
any order.
While this program is desig
ned primarily to meet the re

programs in many other states
are so similar that persons
from other areas of the country
should also take advantage of
this opportunity.
The six courses to be off

Sermon Of The Week
I J. Huber Dixon
"It Pays to Serve JesusI"
? (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. Des Moins. 1951
observed, "none of these were
really new' descoveries." But
rTJn brings something
really new. He makes a man
"fw.""hi". By this miracte
birth,^ called regeneration " or
crlbed"er ilh" 30 wel1 des
cribed in John 3:1-16 a
man receives new joy. new am
bition new loves and a new
outlook. As Charles Spureeon

the cloud was gone and that
foment I saw the sun' ?
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. Out even
this he says is "more pre
cious than of gold that peris
heth" (V. 7) But after the

WASHINGTON ? The month
long Senate debate over the de
ployment fit die ABM system
has focused in the main on the
discontent growing out of our
involvement in the Vietnam
War. When all is said, how
ever, this part of the debate
strayed from the crucial ques
tions relating to the safety of
the nation case of enemy attack.
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 weight of the evidence clea
rly indicates that they can ?
if they continue on their pre

ther action now to Increase our
presently planned strategic of
fensive forces or to Improve
their survivability. There is
general agreement that the So
vlets can by the mid-1970's ac
quire a force of SS-9 lCBM's
and submarine-daunchdd mis
siles large enough virtually to
destroy our entire land-based
missile and manned bomber
forces in a surpftse attack.
Some have argued that our
Polaris-Poseidon (prees alone

but they overlook {he point that
It is the height of folly, consi
dering what is at stake, to de
pend for our deterrent upon only
one of the three major elem
ents of our strategic offensive
forces (bombers, lCBM's, and
submarines), no matter how in
vulnerable that force may ap
pear to be today. Common pr
udence dictates that we must do
everything possible to hedge
against technological surprises
In the future.
Second: Will the Soviets
continue on their present
course? No one knows the an
swer to this, but until we have
some proof to the contrary we
must assume that they will.
. All doubrs must be resolved
In favor of the continued ade

*Thlrd: Will the deployment
of the Safeguard system offer
the best choice in Insuring the
continued survival of the mini
mum force required for dete
rrence of nuclear attack by an
enemy power? There are many
ways to achieve that objective,
but none of them in my judg
ment will serve our purpose as
well. The Safeguard system
simply deters aggression by
increasing the survivability of
our land-based Minute Man mi
ssiles In case of attack. This
would strengthen our deterr
ent capability at its most vul
nerable point, but would not in
crease our offensive nuclear
power.
fivors the conclusion that the
Safeguard system will work.
What we are really talking a
bout is having enough retalia
tory power to enable us to sur
vive after a surprise enemy
attack. The Safeguard system
can achieve this even If It
works at less than 100-percent
effectlvfeness.

ly, the marriage which started
under a "closed rule" which
requires us to accept or reject
it In its entirety without an
opportunity to amend It on the
floor. 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

by the President in substantially
the form it passed the House.
