And while we are sharp
ly aware of the meaning
of our Easter services, and
sensing a renewal of spirit
through our lessons, we
must also be sharply
aware of the implications
for service that they bring.
God commissioned Jesus
to minister to the lost;
Jesus commissioned Hi s
followers to continue this
ministry among the un
believers.
That need is ever pres
ent today, as it was dur
ing the birth of Christian
ity. We must dedicate our
selves to being good and
faithful shepherds of the
flocks of Christ.

By Rep. Walter B. Jones
litical surprise in modern
times. It also must be re
garded as one of the best
kept secrets. Not even
members of the Cabinet
were aware of this deci
sion until the public was
advised on the Sunday
night television appearance.
I believe all America ap
plauds the action based on
the cause of the decision.
For a man to forego his
personal political ambitions
for the cause of world
peace warrants the praise
of all. As this column is
written, it appears that his
efforts in the search for
peace are going to be suc
cessful, and certainly all of
us hope this is true.
Legislative action this
week consisted of passing a
House code of ethics. The
purpose of this bill is to
force members of Congress
to list holdings of stocks
and bonds and corpora
tions and business directly
or indirectly with the Unit
ed States government, pro
vided such holdings exceed
$5,000. Further, any mem
ber having an outside in
come in excess of SI,OOO
must list the source and
the reason of the income.
Also, any member of the
House who is associated
with a legal firm must
submit the name of the
firm and the amount of
the income received. These
reports will be monitored
by a newly formed House
Ethics Committee.

farmers of our district is
the bill which I introduced
a few weeks ago providing
for a referendum in which
potato farmers have an op
portunity to vote for an
assessment for one cent
per hundred weight of po
tatoes for the purpose of
research and promotion of
sales of potato products.
The bill provides that the
referendum must have two
thirds approval of those
voting. Further, any grow
er who does not care to
participate may ask for and
receive a rebate of his as
sessment at the end of his
selling season. The Sub
committee on Agricultural
Research and Development
conducted the hearing.
Over 14 potato growers
from all parts of the na
tion testified in favor of
the bill. The strange thing
was that the only opposi
tion to the bill came from
the National Farm Bureau.
Several of the counties
in the First District are
experiencing a voter re-reg
istration this year. They
are Camden, Chowan,
Craven, Gates, Hyde, Jones,
Pamlico, Pasquotank and
Pitt. Certainly all of our
citizens should make an ef
fort to register and pro
tect the right to vote on
election day. 1 am con
vinced that every citizen
should vote, for if you
don’t use it, some day you
might lose it. This office
has been asked for an in
terpretation of the election
law regarding a member
of the armed services
whose legal residence is in
a county that is conducting
a re - registration. The
answer is that the service
man should write the
chairman of the County
Board of Elections and re
quest an absentee ballot
for the May 4 primary.
This request will serve as
his registration. This ap
plies only to members of
the United States armed
services. Further, upon
separation from the armed
services, the individual
must then register at the
next opportunity.

It was the little boy’s
first visit to church and
when the choir entered, all
in white, he whispered to
his father: “Look quick,
Daddy! They’re all going
to get a haircut.”
