Page Two THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C. Friday, July 6, 1973 ■i’ This week our country celebrates the 197th An niversary of its Independence. This benchmark in our history comes at a time when there is great unrest and instability abroad in our land. Many are deeply concerned about the erosion of individual liberty and the vast concentration of governmental power in Washington. Today’s concerns make us mindful that at best freedom is a fragile thing and that it takes constant attention to preserve HMB INSURANCE AGENCY Vanceboro, N. C.

Over a hundred years ago, Calhoun put the matter in perspective when he said in substance that freedom is hard to acquire, but easy to lose. This generation has seen all kinds of plans come into being and flourish at the federal level. Mostly, they are efforts to make people conform to certain notions of leadership in power and almost inevitably they are in conflict with individual freedom. Much of this has come about with the aid of an open federal checkbook and an army of btreaucrats dedicated to the remaking of America ac cording to the current national blueprint. All of this has resulted in a sweeping transfer of govern mental power from local communities and the states to the federal government. The transition, it must be said, came in part b^ause so many have been anxious to swap the reality of freedom for the mirage of security. The effect has b^n to concentrate power in a bireaucracy on the banks of the Potomac which almost beggars description. Consider for the moment what this has done to personal liberties. By concentrating most of the powers of government in itself, the feder^ government has substantially destroyed some of the major powers of the states, and thus has deprived the in dividual in large measure his right to have personal and local affairs regulated by the government nearest to him. The transfer of the power to ad minister school affairs from the local school board to the executive and judicial branches of the federal government is a celebrated case in point. Our free enterprise system is now undergoing a crisis, and many American industries are e)q[)eriaicing insurmountable difficulties in competing in markets that once were theirs. Two devaluations of the dollar, which we have just witnessed, came about largly because an overburdened American economy has been saddled with too many giveaway programs funded by the Federal govern ment. By regimenting personal activities to a large decree, the federal government has vir tually placed the individual and Trout has a wav of adding spark to any meal. So, if you want to treat your family to some really tasty seafood dishes but not go over your food budget, now’s the time to try grey sea trout. Ilie U. S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) says grey sea trout are in especially rientifid supply right now and has placed this tasty, economical fish on its plentiful foods list ' Known for its tasty, tender flesh, the grey sea trout (also known as weakfish) usually is available whole or pan-dressed because of their small size. However, fillets from larger fish are available. Becaiiro the grey sea trout’s habitat generally is off the coast of the Clarolinas northward, many southern consumers have never had the opportunity to taste this economical, nutritious fish. However, with improved processing methods, supplies of fillets, whole frozen and fresh fish are available at many large metropolitan centers such as Atlanta. Like most fish, the grey sea trout is about 18 percent protein—a protein that is complete, well balanced and not easily affected by the usual cooking methods. In addition, they are 85 to 95 percent digestible. When serving sea trout, you can estimate the amount you will need by allowing about one- industry under a bureaucratic guardianship. The home owner today must comply with federal regidations which tell him to whom he shall rent and to whom he shall sell jiis dwelling. The business executive must comply with federal regulations whidi tell him whom he may hire and whom he may fire. The federal government still does not seem to be satisfied with all of the limitations thus far placed upon individual freedom. The philosophy which usually precedes a new en croachment on freedom is that the individual for his own good must be relieved of the power to make a judgment. All of which shows that nothing is new under the sun. Our forefathers came to this land because they preferred freedom to the tyrannies they were experiencing in the Old World.
