Note The Big Difference Actions taken at almost the same time by the Presidents of two nations in the Western Hemisphere offer an excellent opportunity to examine some very inter esting contrasts and similarities of politi cal practice in North and South America. In Brazil, the President issued a decree which enlarged the Supreme Court (per haps to enable him to “pack” it, so to speak, with persons who share his politi cal philosophy), and abolished all op position political parties. A report from Rio de Janeiro states that the decree “at once gave legal substance to . . . su premacy of the armed forces and the executive branch of the government over Congress, the Judiciary, and the civilian population,” and that it enabled Brazil’s President to “cancel legislative mandates at all levels.” Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the President of the United States, in sign ing a “Rivers and Harbors” bill passer by this nation’s Congress, announced tha' he intended to ignore a part of the leg islation which he didn’t like, on the grounds that he considered it to be un constitutional. Ordinarily, one might think that the constitutionality of a piece of legislation was something to be decided by the Ju diciary, before it should be ignored by the Chief Executive. But, of course, in this country the Supreme Court was brought under the’ supremacy of the Executive Branch long before the same thing happened in Brazil. As to the Congress itself, the last Chief Executive who served notice on that body that he would arrogate to himself the right to disergard that branch’s duly en acted legislation found a monumental re volt ort his hands. We’re thinking it is time fait another such revolt. And if the FDR landslide Congress could find his arrogance revolting, surely this one can, too. dealer can do more than tell you why the tuned car 1 is a success.^ He can showyoiLjj 1966 Brack Riviera. 1 , -■! .

' ■ ' ' m otor in pan yo£ efltOD; c« \Jdeard & Seen I “By Busf 1 Though a little belated but nonetheless sincere is my expression of deep regret in the loss by death of our First District Con gressman, Herbert C. Bonner. Like his predecessor, Lindsay Warren, he was truly dedicated to the welfare of the people of his district and many times he made per sonal sacrifices in order to be of service and to /demonstrate that he appreciated the people he served. Unlike some legislators, Mr. Bonner was always very prompt in answering letters sent to him and, to his credit, he was always very frank in his replies if he was in accord or not with the many requests* mad* ; • He was a true friend and one whose shoes will be hard to fill. He was always very coopera tive with The Herald, often telephoning or wiring news affecting this area even be fore they were sent out to other news media. The first issue of The Herald back in 1934 is vividly recalled by yoqrs truly when a letter sent from Congressman Lind say Warren, and no doubt written by Mr. Bonner, then Mr. Warren’s assistant, which in part stated: “Dear Mr. Bufflap—l have your letter of August 21, informing me that you are beginning the publication of a weekly newspaper at Edenton to be known as The Chowan Herald. I congratulate you upon the initiation of this enterprise, and you may be assured that if I can aid and cooperate with you in any way, it will be a pleasure.” This cooperation, continued when Mr. Bonner became our Congressman and very seldom jdj (hade a round of lotels and learned’" that Miss Powell was ' ight. When we had just about decided to I etum home, one of the group suggested [ hat we contact Mr. Bonner. I agreed to i >e spokesman, so off we went to find his | •ffice. As soon as he saw us come in his! ffice Friend Bonner said, “Yes, you guys. ire up here v I I ilhpmarlo Mfltnr Pnmn&tif I w il 1 hold a door -to-door sale oi facial tissue November 23 The sale will begin at 1 .P.
