SECTION C
Senator Sam J. Ervin Says
* Is In Thailand
• WASHINGTON Con
gress reconvened last week
With a long list of chal
lenges which confront the
nation, the administration
and the legislative branch.
Foremost on the minds
of the people is how to
extricate ourselves from
the Vietnam war with all
of its problems so that we
may devote ourselves to
other pressing tasks that
are commanding our atten
tion more and more. In
truth, there is no easy
answer to a war that has
magnified all of the strains
which have been confront
ing our country for some
time. We see our energies
divided in coping with the
tasks of war, and a grow
ing unrest that has deep
ened all of the ills of our
society.
These problems are
many. The concern about
how to win a war over
seas blends into an almost
equal concern about how
Maintain your health and vigor with
preventive medicine. Regular medical
checkups, plus prompt medication can
avoid expensive illness and sustain
buoyant health. .

to control violence and
live at peace here at
home. The fact that we
are committed on both
fronts simply acknowledges
our tasks. It can be said,
however, that the country
has about made up its
mind that progress must
be made in both of these
commitments, and if it is
not, the patience of the
nation may wear very thin
before long. There are is
sues that will have to be
reckoned with early this
year by the government.
Another commanding
task that faces the nation
is the need to bring order
into the kingdoms that dis
pense aids to education,
welfare and health pro
grams. There is duplica
tion, triplication and quad
ruplication of programs
and projects in these fields.
I repeat what I have said
for several years that Con
gress and the President
ought to take immediate

steps to bring order out of
chaos in these programs
that are overlapping in
their jurisdiction and their
goals. This task is an im
mensely complicated one.
There are many agencies
and programs that are
functioning within their
proper sphere, but there
are also many instances
where the overlappage and
duplication should be elim
inated. With due respect
to the dedication of many
fine public servants, a con
solidation of some of the
hundreds of federal pro
grams, if properly worked
out, could achieve better
programs and at a saving
to the taxpayer.
Some of the old battles
in Congress are certain to
be renewed. Our world
wide commitments seem to
be a solid prospect for a
review to see how much
we can afford and to ex
amine the risks we run in
overcommitting ourselves
throughout the world.
Federal controls which
go beyond the intent of
Congress in the field of
education are a matter of
continuing concern. In my
judgment, Congress ought
to establish new legisla
tive standards to curb un
reasonable agency actions
in this area. By now, it
ought to be apparent that
LETTER TO
THE EDITOR
Dear Sir:
It has come to our at
tention that people have
been filling in portions of
Filbert’s Creek and Pem
broke Creek with dirt for
their own benefit.
With all the talk about
running out of water, it
seems that we would try
to conserve all our water.
If this filling continues
from both sides, we may
become one or two creeks
short.
We feel that a town or
dinance should be passed
to prevent the continuance
of such a conservation
hazard.
On behalf of water con
servation.
RANDY ELLIOTT,
MIKE COVINGTON,
DILLARD DIXON,
TOM SHEPARD.
the federal government
must exercise restrain in
dealing with purely local
matters in our schools. I
do not think that federal
izing our schools will solve
our education problems.
Indeed, I think many who
originally lauded some of
the federal controls over
education are having sec
ond thoughts about the
trend that such a policy is
establishing. Congress and
the administration ought
to review this matter
thoroughly.
Much depends upon the
course of the war in Viet
nam. An ending of the
war would permit more
legislative attention to be
devoted to other pressing
problems. However, wars
do not adhere to time
tables, and Congress will
begin with a full agenda
of foreign and domestic
problems that have chang
ed little since it adjourned
only a few weeks ago.

Peoples Bank is not only interested in your health, but in the health
of your money too. That’s why Peoples is giving away a free box
of tissue to anyone who opens a new Peoples Savings Account or
who adds to their old one. It’s a sort of a goodwill gesture to
interest you in earning interest on your money.
Remember with a Peoples Bank Passbook Savings Account you
earn daily interest and with a Peoples Bank Certificate of Deposit
you earn a big 5 % interest.
So now you can see why we say, “A Peoples Bank Savings Account
is nothing to sneeze at.”
