The Roundup 'fife

Do we Americans view life
through rose-colored glasses?
They may not all be rose-colored,
but most of us do view the
world through glasses. Take a
walk down Main Street or
Broadway and observe the many
people who limp along on eye
crutches. I don’t think our eye
sight, as a nation, is inferior to
the rest of the world, but we
have accepted the wearing of
glasses as a national badge. With
some, it is the badge of the in
tellectual, with others fashion
and style determine the focals;
and with a few they are a ne
cessity and serve a strict utili
tarian purpose. Remember, as
kids (if you are that old) when
glasses were not as respectable
as now and no special distinction
was bestowed on the wearer?
High Strung Christidns
By TERRY JONES
"And the same John had his
raiment of camel's hair, and a
leathern girdle about his loins;
and his meat was locusts and'
wild honey." —Matthew 3:4.
Recently I saw an article in a
Christian magazine about Minis
ters of today strutting around as
proud as Peacocks. This «may
often be the case but 1 dare say
it is not only the Minister today
that struts but often the Church
people also. Some Churches are
known to have an overdose of
“Big-Shotism.” This is especial
ly true when people won’t at
tend services and worship God
because they can’t keep up with
the fashions of the Church peo
ple . . . this is an insult to God
when the people of His Church
pass off the “cold shoulder’’ to
people of a certain class that
can’t strut aound like Peaiccfcks
with new fashions.
Surely Churches of today need
to be modern in teaching facili
ties in order to teach more and
Ministers need a good education
to be able 'to preach to all
groups. But still we could learn
a lesson from John the Baptist
with his camel’s hair dress and
his leather girdle. A man of
God with a simple manner, a
man who didn’t have a large vo
cabulary to impress the high
class. But God’s Word' says that
people came from Jerusalem, and
all Judea and all the region

THE CHOWAN HERALD
When friends, to your embar
rassment, called you four-eyes?
Or further in the past, remem
ber when grandma said, “Pass
me my spectacles, sonny”? Al
though she said spec-tickles. If
the eye is the window of the
soul, and the eye-glass the win
dowpane through which we ob
serve our fellow mortals, then
many of us have allowed our'
windowpanes to become sadly
fly-specked. And no pun in
tended.

much improvement in automo
biles since tse davs of the “tin
lizzie”, and as the TV show,
Merrily We Roll Along portray
around about Jordan and were
baptized by jonn the Baptist
and confessed their sins. John
had a simple message of repent
ance and he presented it in a
simple manner. In our world
today there would be more souls
born inlo the Kingdom of God
if we would forget about social
class, forget about so .many so
cial halls in Churches and send
more money to build Churches
in lands where the name of
Jesus is not known.

SENATOR
Sam Ervin
-- SAYS
I Washington —. Dozens of fili
busters, long and short, have
j been staged in the Senate since
the adoption of the cloture rule
jin 1917, but in only four in
stances prior to August 14th has
the Senate invoked the device
whereby the Senate limits the
time spent in discussing a bill.
Thus, one of the dramatic mo-
I ments of this Congress occurred
when, for the first time since
i 1927, the Senate voted to limit
I debate on the Satellite Commun
ications Bill. The 1927 success
ful cloture motion cut off debate
on a bill setting up a Treasury
Department bureau to enforce
i Prohibition. While I had no
j sympathy for the Satellite Com
jmunieations filibuster. I voted
| against cloture because I favor
' the right of free discussion even
though I disagree with the ideas
of the speaker. I supported the
Satellite Bill which was studied
by five Senate committees, one
House committee, and which was
j passed' almost unanimously by
j the House prior to Senate con
sideration. While the bill is not
a perfect one, I think it is the
best bill anyone could devise
upon the subject at this time.

engine, the most powerful engine under development by
the United States. Assembly point for the 1.5-million-pound
thrust engines, to be used in Saturn, is Canoga Park, Calif..
before the Senate Permanent In
vestigations Subcommittee. Af
ter listening to the testimony
of many witnesses for days now,
i am of the opinion that While
the conduct of Estes in the mat
ter of cotton allotments is de
plorable, the abuses disclosed
thus far relate to a relatively
small proportion of the total
acreage involved in the entire
program. Estes' allotment was
approximately 3100 acres out of
1961 cotton allotments embrre
ing some 184 million acres.

More than once, a Lilliston Combine has been
called "the peanut harvest express.” It started
with a farmer who watched it race through his
35 acres, picking his crop in less than two days
time. Just before the rains came.
The folks at Lilliston know full well how im
portant it is to get the nuts off the ground in a
hurry. For fifty years, they’ve been pursuing the
best and quickest way to harvest peanuts, and
making the machines to do it.
That brings us to 1962.
THE WORD FOR ULLISTON IS MORE! (Except for the price-that’s less)

The new Lilliston Peanut Combine is the
fastest, most effective non-stop performer that
ever came off a production line. No matter what
the conditions—green nuts, tough vines, wet
field or dry—the Lilliston is made to get them
all. From pick-up to hood, it’s the biggest profit
maker in peanut harvesting history.
Come by and we’ll show you all the reasons
why the Lilliston’s the first in the field. By a
bill, the youth employment bill,
and the United Nations Bond;

it is unlikely that Congress will
