PAGE SIX-B Senator Sam Erv in Says WASHINGTON —The chal lenges which confront our t'lHintry run deep. We arc sit war in a distant land with slim prospects that our fighting men can be calk'd home soon. Our do mestic problems are no less serious. They concern the centralization of govern ment powers in Washing ton and run the gamut from crime in the streets .to current demands being made upon the Congress to pass legislation guarantee ing an annual income to everybody. This is the nature of the problem. Yet, when we begin talking of solutions, divisions arise among us. The Paris peace talks have made little progress to date. The Senate has passed a broad new anti crime bill, but its fate in the House is uncertain. The demand by the demonstra tors here in the nation's capital for a guaranteed annual income for every body by the federal gov ernment comes at a time when the federal budget may wind up with another whopping deficit even if an already mammouth spending program is re duced and a tax increase is voted. All of this outlines the tragedy of an age when men ask their government to grant them a guaran teed income. The demand ignores the true realities Wlfforb funeral home edenton, n. c.

It does not reckon with the I taxis of u free society where individuals produce goods and services in re sponse to needs and achieve individual and national progress. It does not reck on with the fact that even if the government unwisely granted such a demand that it would do far more harm than good. Govern ment does not operate at a profit. It derives its funds from either taxes or by borrowing money to fund its obligations. Already our country is experiencing inflation that can be traced to federal treasury borrowings over the last 38 years. What is proposed now is to either tax our citizens far more heavily or to have the treasury borrow far more heavily to pay for the guaranteed annual income. The proponents of this plan have been somewhat vague in their estimates of the cost of providing an income of at least $4,000 for everybody. Estimates, for whatever they may be worth, range upwards of something like S3O billion annually in ad dition to the present $lB6 billion federal budget re quests. Actually, such a cost estimate does not take into account the loss of revenues from individuals who would be content to let the government pro m CHOWAN mm. epenton, moot caeomna, wronMt, junk t, no. vide for their wants, the disruption to our economy by its failure to create and distribute the things we now consider as a part of our daily needs, or the stagnation which would come to a nation which is deprived of individual ef forts, creativity and sheer drive in a competitive world. A more abundant stciety shared by more individuals is not to be attained by guarantees by an all pow erful government. No gov ernment can guarantee that individuals will not have to strive for a living. It has always been so, and to date, I do not think that we have created a world that can repeal the need for individual effort and toil. Moreover, when gov ernment provides our wants, controls go with it. Our governments at all leveld have poured billions cf dollars annually into programs and efforts to see to it that individuals have the opportunity to live meaningful lives. There is still poverty in our coun try, but I do not think that a federal guaranteed in come will eradicate pov erty. Indeed, it could bring ruin to our citizens and their governments. Virginia Bar Admits Bunch William C. Bunch, Jr., former Tdentonian and graduate of Wake Forest University, was recently admitted to practice law by the Virginia Board of Bar Examiners. Prior to moving to Nor folk and Virginia Beach he was manager of Sears and Town Councilman from the First Ward.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON THE GREATNESS OF GOD International Sunday School Lesson for June 9 Memory Selection: “Then Job answered the Lord, and said, I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.”—Job 42:1-2. Lesson Text: Job 38-41. Today we live in a world that—with the speed of mechanical travel and the thrust into space— becomes increasingly smaller. And it is undeni ably true that, with knowledge, automatically eomes a blase acceptance. This was not the case in the times in which the Bible is couched. Then—as, indeed, it should be now—the people saw, in the greatness of cre ation, the greatness of the Creator. God, in His greatness, gave man a question ing mind; it is undoubtedly a matter of both joy and sorrow to Him that man has used this mind; he has used it creatively and destructively; creatively when it is concerned with the ad vances of medicine, vanquishing an erstwhile deathly disease; destructively when it invents an A-bomb, directed solely at taking and despoil ing the life which is God-given. And, should you question the charge of being blase—stop and think a minute. Remember how we waited, with bated breath, to see if that brave human being, enclosed in a capsule, would return safely to earth? How often, now, do we take the trouble to turn our television sets on, to see another launch? We have accepted it as par for the course; we acknowledge that it takes “guts”—and we wish we had them. But we do not wait and watch with bated breath for the outcome. We are too busy living in this world we know, dealing with its trials and its frus trations, to be overly-concerned with a real which we do not know, and from which we feel far removed. We do not understand a lot of things, while marvelling—in passing—at their existence. God spoke to Job from out of the midst of a whirl wind, and His voice was symbolic of the maj esty and might of the Almighty, and His reve lations to mankind. And still, in our quiet, more introspective mo ments, we cannot refrain (at. the end of a trying and troublesome day) from looking up at the night sky, marvelling at the stars, and enjoying the quiet peace that lies over familiar surround ings. We cannot —looking at the small perfection of a new-born baby cease to marvel at the wonders of a Creator, whose ways we do not pretend to comprehend. In such instances we can only fall back on the words of Job: “I am of small account: how can I answer thee?” Man is man, and God is Gbd. Man is limited by time; God knows no such boundaries. He is infinite. Man is limited in knowledge, in comprehension. God is not.
