—SECTION TWO PAGE TWO ISBUTsar flk A SAM ERVIN "Washington President Ken nedy, at a recent press confer ence, restated his Senatorial po sition that he was opposed to federal aid to parochial schools. This is a matter that may be soon debated in the Senate. 1 1 should like to state the grounds I upon which I join with the] President in opposing parochial j school aid. The ancestors of most Americans came to this country in order to enjoy religi ous freedom, which they clear ly believed embraced the right not to pay taxes for the direct or indirect teaching of religious doctrines which they disbelieved. Statute Cf Religious Freedom —Their attitude was clearly re flected in the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom. That Statute declares “that to com pel a man to furnish contribu tions of money for the propa gation of opinions which he dis believes is sinful and tyranni cal.” Controversy The controversy over aid to parochial schools has been touched off by some Cath olic leaders who have called for the inclusion of parochial and private schools in any federal aid program for education. There can be no doubt of the fact that parochial schools constitute in stitutions of the Catholic Church and teach its tenets and faith. First Amendment The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States declares, that “Congress shall make no] law respecting an establishment] Merry Hill News By LOUISE B.

E. BUNCH, Mgr. W. Carteret St Edenton, N. C. ALLSEED RECEIVES OUR PERSONAL ATTENTION ...A TRIAL WILL CONVINCE YOUt of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." The Su preme Court of the United States has this to say in the Everson Case: “The ‘establishment of religion’ clause of the First Amendment means at least this: Neither a state nor the Federal Government can set up a church. Neither can pass laws which aid one religion, aid all religions, or prefer one religion over another ... No tax in any amount, large or small, can be levied to support any religious activities or institutions, what ever they may be called, or whatever form they may adopt to teach or practice religion ...” Unfortunate Issue —The states have established public schools for the education of the children of parents of all faiths and sup port these schools by taxation. It is true, of course, that many parents for various reasons pre fer to send their children to pri vate schools or to schools op erated by various church bodies. The First Amendment prohibits the use of tax funds to support these church schools, regardless of whether they are established by Catholics, Presbyterians, Bap tists, Methodists, or persons of any other faith. It is unfortun ate that this religious issue has been injected into the debate over 'aid to education. All Americans should be interested in the preservation of the religi ous freedom established by the Constitution. home Saturday after being a pa tient in Bertie Memorial Hospi tal, Windsor, for a few days.
