Miller, a native of I Perquimans County, will be the 1 fourth state trooper to reside in Warren County. He .will make his home at 126 Battle Avenue. ; Trooper Miller, a 1970 graduate of Perquimans High School, atterided College of Albemarle for one year and was enrolled for two years at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill prior to joining the State Patrol. Miller, who is single, completed a 14-week training course at the Patrol's Chapel Hill school before being assigned here. Jesse Helm s WASHINGTON Two weeks ago, when I prepared legislation to save millions of gallons of gasoline now being wasted in the forced busing of school children, our office was flooded with expressions of appreciation from citizens allMwthe country. uifenough, the major newspapers in my own state, A I I H, lnrriclatinn Tlio PV.l,Ha K mOal pal l, IgllUICU UIC rer's Washington correspondent, tor example, made bat he couldn't care less. Most of the other large daily : apers in North Carolina similarly ignored the story. W news media in the rest of the country didn't. So ft ic that the American people outside of North Carolina 'ar better informed on the matter than were my own f irtuents. . CI PAR-PITT : Mir QiYionlmanf nrPCPnfari a sOoat'Mit issue: How much longer will federal judges and federal bureaucrats continue to impose arbitrary and arrogant power over the lives of little school children? And,, in doing so, cause the waste of scarce and precious fuel? My amendment, had it been enacted, would have cut out all unnecessary busing of school children. It provided that, during this fuel crisis, no child would be hauled away from his own neighborhood school just to satisfy the whim of some federal bureaucrat or judge. . i made a spot check of just four of North Carolina's 151 school districts, and I discovered that forced busing is responsible for the absolute waste of 1,118,908 gallons of gasoline per year in those four school districts alone! Projected estimates indicate that at least 30 million gallons a year are being wasted in North Carolina. Multiply that by 50 states, and you get an incredible total. 5 SUPPORT My amendment was supported by officials and citizens all over the country. Typical was a telegram from Governor George Wallace of Alabama, who sent his congratulations, saying that Alabama is already having difficulty obtaining enough gasoline to operate its school buses. Governor Wallace added that "unless they are allowed to attend the school nearest their home, many school .children in our state and other states face the probability of Jbeing .denied the continuance of V public school education lbe(Suie of a lack of fuel to transport them.

By MARION SWINDELL Someone has said tlial there are live foods which are essential in a person's erow ill. They are love, learning. beauty, service and suffering. Without these foods the soul does not grow. Given hunger the soul grows in an experience of love. We are nourished when one hungers for learning, studies, seeks mas tery of a subject. Beauty conies only when we strive lo appreciate or create the beautiful. Suffering as food may seem to us hard ex igences, but have you not noticed that men intent upon spiritual achievement have grown more surely and rapidly when suffering was their lot, rather than when life moved along like a song. OUR THOUGHT TO REMEMBER: No high or higher stage in life is reach ed without devotion. Swindell Funeral Home HERTFORD, N. C. PHONE: 426-7311 ! N (c Sunday School Lesson . -,( BREAD FOR THE , 1 HUNGRY " ..J, , ' (John 6:35-51) ' Harry S. Truman once made this observation: . "More than half the people of the world are living in conditions approaching misery ... For the first time" in , history humanity possesses the knowlege and the skill to relieve the suf fering of these people." Someone has noted that even in our day, nearly 2000 years after Christ's coming into the world, two thirds of the world's population live in a permanent state of hunger. Bread is essential to life. One cannot live without eating. But man is more than a physical being. Man is also a spiritual being and cannot live by bread alone. Jesus of fers Himself to the world as the bread of life. To partake of this Bread there must be belief. BELIEF, John 6:35-40 As the crowds thronged Jesus, He spoke to ; them these words, "I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst." Here is the tremendous promise of Jesus to give Himself to man. Man could find bread for his spiritual hunger in Jesus Christ. In Jesus there is the water of life. That person who seeks his needs in Jesus will never be disappointed. There is one requirement. Man must do one thing. He Darden Department Store 109 - 111 N.

PHONE 426-5544 m must come to Jesus. This is another way of saying that man must believe. It is the one who believes on Jesus who will never thirst. Verse 37 days, "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that 1 cometh to me I will in no wise cast out." This is not to be understood to be teaching that God will only allow some to come to Jesus. There is evidently the responsibility of mart to believe in Jesus and avail himself of the offer of Christ. The promise of Jesus is that anyone who comes to Him He will in no wise cast out. Jesus came into the world to do His Father's will. It is God's will that none should perish but that all should repent and believe. It is God's will that every one would see Jesus through eyes of faith. All who thus see Him will have everlasting life and Jesus will raise them up at the end of the age. But for those who should have come, there was a barrier. BARRIER, John 6: 41-47 It is never easy to exercise our vision of faith. The Jews saw Jesus as the son of Joseph and Mary whome they all knew. They could not, rather they would not see Him as having come from God and heaven. Many of us are willing to see Jesus as a good man, a great teacher, even a miracle-worker. But can He PH. 426-5464 I Dealer Rt 4 Hertford 264-2318 2861 OIL CO. The Perquimans Weekly, Hertford, N. C, Thursday, January 3, 1974-Page 3 be trusted to tell us how to Live? Can He be trusted completely? Can one find in him every need or must one still hold on to some things? Coming to Jesus is not to be interpreted as simply a matter of man's will. Jesus, says in verse 44 that no man ' can come to Him except the Father draw him. God is the One who takes the first step in one's salvation. God knows the lost condition of every man. God's Holy Spirit causes sinful man to see himself as he really is. God's Holy Spirit shows man God's love in the Cross of Christ. No man has seen God except as he has seen Him through eyes of faith as he looks to Christ. No man discovers God for himself. God must reveal Himself to man. Unbelief is a mighty barrier between the soul and the Saviour. When man come to Jesus in faith he finds Jesus to be the answer to his spiritual needs. For Jesus is the bread of life. BREAD, John 6:48-51 Again Jesus says, "I am the bread of life." The people of Jesus' day could tell the story of God's feeding the Israelites in the wilderness. God gave them food out of heaven. Jesus says to them, "Your fathers ate that manna and died. The bread that I speak of STELLA'S WE BUY AND SELL -ANTIQUES - CALL 264-2923 W.M.

The message of God's word is, "by the response of faith." God wants man to believe on Christ whome He has sent. Jesus alone is qualified to make such an offer to man. What do you purpose to do if you turn His offer down? BIBLE QUESTION FOR THIS WEEK: Who are the Gentiles? ANSWER: All people who are not Jews.

They immediately aroused the interest of growers around the country. Americanbotanistsnamed the plant after Poinsett in 1836.
