Unnecessary And Unwise —The fight for our constitutional and legal principles now under way is a debate that must lx- va - ried on in the high manner of the 1957 debate.

' : _____ . TOMD STARTIME” in liaiiiii —__ _ many other things that con tribute to debate in the best } tradition of the United States ! Senate. When I became .1 member of ’ the Senate Judiciary Committee I was assigned to the Subcom mittee on Constitutional Rights. As a member of this subeommit ! tee i have been obliged to study most of the civil rights proposals w '.. h ’.ave been made in the . . c-f i- Is. since* 1 became a' Mi ml'ier of the Senate. 1 have discovered some things: about ctvti nights bills. 1 have I also discovered some things, alx nit people who adwicate the! passage of civil rights bilk, lj iave never seem a civil rights 1 j bills of modern vintage which' 1 was either necessary or wise, or i compatible with the basic gov-j ernmental and legal systems of j , the United States. I have also noticed that many! of the sincere persons who ad vocate tire passage of civil rights! bills are characterised by one trait in common. They are im-| patient persons who seek easy! solutions to hard problems. ln : seeking easy solutions to hard; | problems they attempt to make shortcuts, and are contemptuous! of any obstacles they find in 1 I their path when they attempt jto make shortcuts, even though such obstacles may be precious! constitutional and legal rights. | My opposition to civil rights, legislation arises out of the fact that 1 know that civil rights bills, if enacted into law. would constitute bad laws. I know that there never was a truer statement made on the face of —————~———■—.—■—.... the earth than that made by Edmund Burke, to the effect that bad laws are the worst sort of tyranny. I maintain that all proposed civil rights legislation ought to be defeated for . each of three reasons. The first is that the proposed legislation is not ne cessary. The second reasop is that the proposed legislation is not wise. The third reason is I that the proposed legislation is not compatible with the basic American principle that laws shall be uniform in nature and shall operate alike upon all people in like circumstances. There is one fundamental vice ! —and 1 use that term in the sense of a defect —in all pro , posed civil rights bills, and it is a defect which was pointed out by Mr. Justice Bradley of 1 the Supreme Court of the Unit ed States as far back as 1883. I The truth is that all civil rights [ bills seek to single out cer ! tain groups of Americans on no j basis but their race, and demand • that they be given rights super -1 ior to those ever sought by or | granted to any other Americans !in the history of this Nation. Nothing New. There is noth img new in the referee bill. It |is simply’ a resurrection and a | rehash, m a more unwise form, 'of what is known as the En -1 forcement Act of May 31, 1870. j Under the Enforcement Act of , May 31, 1870. the U. S. circuit ! courts, which corresponded in | large measure to what are now 1 the U. S. district courts, were ; empowered to appoint supervis ; ors of elections. But at that , time Congress, even though it was still laboring under the in fluence. to some extent, of such j men as Ben Butler, had more respect for the Constitution of the United States than we ap parently have today, because the Enforcement Act of May 31, 1870. only undertook to regulate, under the court-appointed sup ervisors. the elections of Mem bers of Congress. The very case which is cited Jto sustain the proposal for the appointment of referees clearly shows that the court approved that act simply because it con fined the appointment of super visors to elections of Members of Congress. Chow^ News By CATHERINE A MAN Assistant Home Economics Agent Today. I am going to write giving information on the re quirements for securing an Es telle T. Smith Loan Fund. This fund shall be loaned to rural girls desiring to take nurses’ training in state accredit ed professional schools of nurs ing in North Carolina. Mangy shall be loaned Without interest while the student is in training, but all loans are to be repaid within two years after gradu tion. Failing to do this, the borrower agrees to pay interest at six per cent from the date the note is drawn. Should the borrower marry, the date for maturity automatically falls due. | All applicants for loans must | be prospective student nurses who have been tentatively ac cepted by an accredited school of nursing in North Carolina and who have graduated from an accredited high school. No loan shall exceed $500.00 —$200.00 for the first year, $150.00 the second! year and $150.00 the third year. All applications for loans must be made by letter in the hand writing of the applicant and ac companied by letters from the following: Principal of high school attended, one other high school teacher, home economics agent, a responsible man or wo man in the community, health 1 certificate from a reputable phy sician and her h'gh school rec ord. Students must be present a record of work dqnc each year while in school. Application for loans shall be made to the State health Chair man, Mrs. Reed Wilson, Route 3, Lawndale, by March Ist. A notice must be sent from the director of nurses to the Health Chairman who will send the necessary application forms. The treasurer of the North Carolina Organization of Home Demonstration Clubs shall hold monies of this fund. Checks shall be issued only when in structed by the State Health Chairman and after receiving the note of the borrower prop erly signed and endorsed. ' Loans for each school year are made in one installment. Each note must bear the endorsement cf the girl, her parents, or guardian, and two citizens of approved financial responsibility, other than her family. These notes must be returned by June 10th. The treasurer shall hold all notes and collect payments oh these notes as they fall due. The committee shall be satis fied with the student's work be. fore extending help a second year. Failure, to comply with the rules above stated makes an applicant ineligible for a loan. Small Crime Wlave Reported By Police Chief of Police George I.

W u.s.^f Wxf-r RONDS mMii I Ms wHEppyp 1 Weekly Devotional Column 1 ■y JAMBS MaeXKNZIB f Today'* column begins a se ries of two on The Revela tion 4:9-11: The Church's ISong of Praise. Singing is peculiar to human begins. We sing, “Hark the Herald Angels Sing,” but an gels don’t sing, they speak ‘(Luke 2:10, 13; The Revelation 5:11-12). Only humans sing. Singing is also peculiar to Christianity. Hindus do not sing at their services, nor do Moslems or Buddhists. There is no such thing as a Shinto hymnal. Only Christians have anything worth singing about! The twenty-four elders in this passage of Scripture, Bible scholars tell us, arc representa tive of the entire Church. Their position here is % before the throne—the place of highest honor. The angels were “round about the throne” (The Revela tion 5:11); but the redeemed hu mans were before it. The subject of their song is the Lord God Omnipotent. Here He is worshipped as Creator. In chapter five (verse 9) He is worshipped as Redeemer. Their posture is one of lowly prostration—they “fall down be fore the throne." Never do our songs of praise rise higher than when they are presented in lowly humility. Humility is always the result of a vision of God in all His, glory (Isaiah 6:1-5; Ezekiel 1; Revelation 1:17). Too often we feel the key to humility is low thoughts of self, but this is still a self-centered view. It is pos sible to glory in sin. It is even possible to glory in sin in a humble sort of way—for exam ple, many a personal testimony is given which recites the cata log of sins committed by the person testifying, and seems to say to others, “Look at me. How wonderful I am to have given up all this for the Lord.” But true Bible humility begins with high thoughts of God. Low thoughts of self will ne cessarily follow. The Church’s song of praise recognizes that the end purpose of all creation is the pleasure and, purpose of God: “ . . . for Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they were and are created” (verse 11). The first question of the Shorter Catechism -is “What is the ohief end of man?” and the answer given is, “Man’s chief end (purpose) is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever.” Too often we turn it around and live as though God’s chief end were to glorify us and to enjoy us forever. We look upon the Almighty as a servant, who exists to please us. Religion is advertised as “good for you.” We defend the Church on the ground that it is the bulwark of capitalism, a necessary adjunct of a high standard of living and personal peace of mind. But true religion is not man-center ed, it is God-centered. It says with the great Augustine, “Thou hast made us for Thyself, and our souls are estless until we rest at peace with Thee.” _ Brown Manager Os Farm Fresh Foods J.
