Pope said every retail food merchant in Bertie and Cho wan counties is being urged to attend one of the meet ings and apply for authori zation to accept food coupons. He ported out that too of ten many grocers wait until after the program gets under way to ask for authorization, and as a result they lose several food sales and some times permanent customers. Authorization of food mer chants both retail and wholesale—is handled by the Consumer and Marketing Service. Retail grocers must be authorized before they can accept coupons from par ticipating families. Without an authorization, a grocer cannot redeem the coupons Tor cash.

The State Welfare Board is responsible for interviewing and certifying eligible fami lies for participation in the food stamp program, and for issuing food coupons. The Bertie and Chowan county departments of pub lic welfare are now taking applications from families wishing to take part in the Drogram. An extremist, whether of thf right or the left, or whether he is political, religious, or religio-political, is identifi able by certain characteris tics. 'Oie extremist views al most everyone, who has a differing voice or opinion, as a threat to his way of life, and his reaction is usually fantastic, fanatical, unrealis tic, compulsive and obsession al. Among many reactions, an extremist always poses a final authority with a pre tense of “research”. He has uncovered the “facts” and is giver of these to the unin formed. In the October 7th issue of The Chowan Herald in Letters To Editor, my name was drawn into an issue rel ative to Baptist work on the Island of Antigua, B. W. 1., with particular reference to an article which appeared in the August sth issue, which article was written by my wife. In the article in ques tion, no specific reference was made to “Independent RaDtists”; in fact, the words “independent” and “Baptist” were never joined. However, I suspect that it is possible for anyone to read anything into printed material, de pending upon the state of mind and desire of heart. As for Southern Baptist work on the Island of An tigua, Paul and Mary Sides, with their daughter Donna, left North Carolina for a tour of duty with the U. S Navy. They immediately be gan to witness in the little church on the island, until the church began to disinte grate because of the experi ence with the missionary as related in Mrs. Allred’s ar ticle. Paul and Mary then began a teaching mission in the backyard of their home and were ministering to 7C to 75. One of our Southern Baptist missionaries, writing to the Sides, said “In a real sense Southern Baptists al ready have work in St. John’s, Antigua. You are missionaries in that area. You are trained and quali fied for the work that thr Lord has given you to do Actually all we need to serve the Lord is to know that He is our Saviour and to love and witness to those about us who know Him not.” It is this kind of Southern Baotist work to which Mrs. Allred referred in her article. After the C. D. Morse 'amiiy came to the area, they contacted Paul and Mary Sides, and the group meet ing in the rear of Paul’s home is the group which fur lished the basis for the work •vhieh Rev. Morse is carrying j >n. Shortly after the Morses arrived, I received the fol lowing in a letter which he wrote to me, letter dated February 25, 1965: “I was oastoring a Southern Baptist Church in Houston, Texas when God touched my heart concerning these islands. Having had a back operation and did not go to the semin iry, I was unable to go through the board (Southern Baptist Foreign Mission), but God dealt with me so. that by faith I stepped out and other Southern Baptist Churches helped me and my family.” One of our Southern Bap tist missionaries, serving in the French West Indies, visit ed Mr. and Mrs. Sides, and while there also talked with Rev. Morse. Os Rev. Morse, the missionary writes, “Ac cording to my information, he did a good work in the Brit ish Islands but since the pop ulation was so small and the opportunities limited, he felt compelled to move. It was interesting for me to note that all of the material he used was Southern Baptist. It is my opinion that though he. has raised his own sup port he is still basically Southern Baptist.” Quoting from still another missionary serving in that particular area of our world, “We should at- all times re- . veal a Christian attitude to- ■ ward our brothers in Christ. Sometimes that is difficult, but that fact does not re lieve us from the responsi bility of being a Christian in word and deed at all times.” ( I have nothing other than | the deepest admiration and respect for all men who are called of God, who, pursue the calling, not as a self styled “defender of the faith,” but who, in all hon-l esty and humility, seek to I promote the work of the kingdom of God in love and understanding.
