PAGE FOUR l—C Senator Sam Ervin Says MORG ANTON—Air pol lution has troubled us a great deal since World War II with the increasing in dustrialization and me chanization of our country. Os late, it has begun to plague more and more of our rural areas as air cor ridors have been clogged with contamination in an enlarged circle round our cities. The 90th Congress recog nized the seriousness of this problem, and wrote new legislation in an ef fort to deal with the ever increasing amount of air pollution. The quest for cleaner air resulted in the Air Quality Act of 1967. This measure, which I supported, enlarges the fed eral effort to coordinate national-state-local and in dustrial efforts to control pollution. It came into be ing because existing ef forts by all concerped were not adequately dealing with the problem.

Heat provid ed by our home furnaces uses up another 200 pounds of air a day. Our auto mobile requires about 275 pounds of air a day just to move us from place to place. These air needs are small by comparison with the mammoth amounts needed to generate power at one hydroelectric station or to operate a single industrial plant. Studies indicate that the sources of pollution will increase rapidly in the years ahead unless there is a coordinated approach to waste treatment and the explusion of noxious fumes and gases. The disposal of solid wastes, the increasing use of motor vehicles, in dustrial advancement and greater power generation could pose serious hazards to our environment unless we enforce air quality standards as we move into the next decade. Not that the problem is altogether new in the world. The philosopher Senaca complained about the “heavy air of Rome” in 61 A. D., and some years ago an African doctor ex pressed concern about the polluted air breathed by Kenya villagers in their poorly ventilated huts heat ed by wood fires. We have dealt with air pollution in this country for some time. A few of our cities had anti-pollution programs before World War 11. The states began to deal with the problem in the late 1940’5.

ISM. deal with the subject in 1955 with the passage of the Air Pollution Control Act which permitted the Public Health Service to conduct pollution studies. These efforts were broad ened in 1963 with the pas sage of the Clean Air Act. Under its provisions, states, communities and the fed eral government, with the permission of the governor of a state, could institute a series of steps to halt haz ardous sources of air con tamination. Under the act, the federal govern ment also provided nearly SIOO million for matching grants to regional, state and local agencies to pre vent and control air pol lution. Following that major step, in 1965 Congress add ed auto pollution control and waste disposal amend ments to the Clean Air Act. These amendments author ized the Health, Educa tion and Welfare Secretary to fix emission standards for new motor vehicles and authorized new studies on pollution caused by sul phur oxides. A year later, Congress expanded the pro visions of the Clean Air Act further and broadened the conditions under which grants could be made to maintain clean air pro grams. These beginnings set the stage for the most signifi cant pollution act now in operation which the 90th Congress passed on Novem ber 13, 1967. At the ses sion recently ended, the Senate Subcommittee on Air and Water Pollution continued its studies in this field, and it seems likely that pollution con trol will again receive ma jor legislative attention during the 91st Congress.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON CHRIST SPEAKS TO HIS CHURCHES International Sunday School Lesson For Dec. 8 Memory Selection: “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock; if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”—Revelation 3:20. Lesson Text: Revelation 1-3. The central truth of the lesson with which we concern ourselves today might truly be held to be that—in every period of church history, Christ has spoken to His churches—whether it be to recommend them, or to reprove them. Christ came into the world to teach, and to save. And when His allotted time on earth was up, He left His trusted Disciples to carry on from where He left off. And the churches that had sprung up, and brought the Word to the people, were to carry on this work, and expand, so that the doctrines of Christianity would gain a stronger foothold in the affairs of the world and of men, and become the foundation stones of comfort and assurance that every man—of whatever race or creed—basically needs. A solemn (and oftentimes onerus) responsibility indeed. The Book of Revelation had something to say to the churches of the early Christian era in times of crisis; it still has something to say to the churches of these days and times. And it has something to say to the nations of the world today, just as it did in the times of the Roman Empire. Os tiie seven foundling churches named in our lesson, only two (Philadelphia and Smyrna) were pleasing in the sight of the Lord. True, they had their weaknesses, as has any fellowship composed of human beings, but they also had their strengths; they were not lukewarm, as was the church at Laodicea, nor had they al lowed infiltration of their numbers by gnostics— as had Pergamum. And the church at Phila delphia had exercised patience and kept the faith—a performance of duty that was not to go unnoticed or unrewarded. This little church, so small in number—“you have but little power”—(Revelations 3, verse 8) is the type of church so sorely needed today. Such an one creates an opportunity for service and for evangelism that is unparalleled in ful filling the basic requirements of Christianity in the world we know today. In this modem day and time we tend to take our freedom of worship—as all our other free doms, so hard won—for granted. We need to slow down and reflect, and in so doing we will become acutely aware that the faith we profess to so blithely, was founded in persecution and bigotry. It is, perhaps, somewhat ironic that the aver age Christian’s faith waxes stronger in times of duress than it does when things are going smoothly. Ironic—but human. For as we go about our daily lives we incline towards taking Concluded on Page 2 BELK - IJTLER’S EDENTON’S SHOPPING CENTER W. E. SMITH GENERAL MERCHANDISE “Rocky Hock” PHONE 221-4031 EDENTON M. G.
