PAGE FOUR-B Senator Sam Ervin Says WASHINGTON— Much at our attention in recent dayß has been focused on events occurring on the moon, and on the problems of inflation and taxes here on earth. Even so, crime and how to control H is still very much with us. Nationally, crane rose by 17 per cent in 1968, and increased again by 10 per cent in the first three months of 1969. Here in the District of Columbia, the seriousness of crime can be best understood by citing the statistics that from 1965 through 1968, robberies increased by 300 per cent, and in the first three months of 1969, they increased another 36 per cent Only a few days ago, Senator Harrison Wil liams was robbed of S3B as he stepped from his auto mobile here in the District of Columbia. Shortly after he became President, Mr. Nixon urg ed the adoption otf a 12- UilftforJi FUNERAL HOME EDENTON. N.C. PLEDGE OF COMMUNITY SERVICE TO REMEMBER that we have been entrusted with a deep personal responsibility by the people of our community and to strive at all times to keep this trust above all else. TO SHOW every family, regardless of economic and social status, the same thoughtful consideration that their confi dence in us merits. TO STRIVE for dignity and reverence in each service that will do honor to the deceased and bring solace and comfort to the family. TO COOPERATE fully with ministers, priests in making the service occasions in which the religious significance can have fullest meaning and in which the spirit of God can be felt most strongly. TO SEEK for real meaning in our work, so that our profession may never become routine and our attitude professional. TO PROVIDE a place where troubled souls will flpd com passion; where confused minds will meet with under standing; where the bereaved heart will find sympathy; and the lonely will find friendship. TO LEARN all we can about our profession and to stay abreast of new knowledge in our field, in order that those we serve may obtain to the fullest all research which our profession develops and affords.

Its principal features included the reorganization of the courts of the District of Co lumbia, the expansion of the indigent defender system so that trials would not be delayed, the addition of one thousand police to the Metropolitan Police Depart ment, and increased citizen efforts to control crime. On July 11, three bills to implement this message were introduced in the Senate. The first of these meas ures deals with the reor ganization of the District of Columbia court struc ture whose functions have been impaired by a back log of cases that often' de lay criminal trials for as much as 24 months. Un der the terms of the court reorganization act, the dual system of Courts of Gen eral Session and Federal . * ■ ; -.wry- " . - , «. : THE CHOWAN WOULD. EDENTOM. MONTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY. JULY 81, 1888. District Courts, which try criminal cases, would be improved. Federal courts in the District of Columbia, under the measure, would have only jurisdiction to try crimes which have been generally designated as fed eral cases throughout the nation. All local criminal jurisdiction would be vest ed in new Superior Courts which would replace toe present Court of General Sessions. These Superior Courts would try cases analogous to those present ly being tried by our state courts. Such a measure would expedite criminal trials here by eliminating much of the dual responsi bility that has impaired the administration of justice in our nation’s capital A second measure would convert the Legal Aid Ag ency of the District at Co lumbia into a public de fender service. Currently, under to. decisions of toe Supreme Court, such as toe Miranda case, the Legal Aid Society here has been swamped by the demands for representation in crim inal cases by indigents. The Public Defender Act for the District of Colum bia seeks to provide ade quate representation by experienced, efficient and dedicated criminal bar at torneys in behalf of indi gents. This would in it self eliminate a major cause of delay in criminal trials. I fully endorse toe above measures. However, I have serious reservations about toe third bill in the Presi dent’s D. C. crime pack age which seeks to amend the Bail Reform Act of 1966, which I introduced. I do not agree that the Bail Act should be amended to provide for “preventice de tention.” I think that such a concept is inconsistent with a free society. In my judgment, the accused should be given a speedy and impartial trial. This would eliminate much of toe concern about giving bail to suspects considered! •dangerous. Preventive de-‘- tention repudiates centuries of Anglo-American tradi tions of fairness, due pro cess, and justice. If the first two measures are adopted by the Con gress, and I am hopeful that it will take that ap proach, I believe we can increase the effectiveness of the police and make justice swifter and more certain in our nation’s capital. Make Church - Going A Habit ... GOD’S COVENANT AND LAW International Sunday School Lesson for Aug. 3 Memory Selection: “Moses said unto toe peo ple, Fear not: for God is crane to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.”—Exodus 20:20. Lesson Text: Exodus 19-24. Today we study toe ever-old, yet ever-freeh, story erf toe Exodus. God delivered Israel from the oppression pf toe Egyptians, having prom ised them He would lead them to a “land flow ing with milk and honey.” In return, they were to forsake evil ways and idolatry, and be true to Him, acknowledging Him openly as toe one true God. ' God did not minimize the dangers of their flight from Egypt, but He nevertheless entered into a covenant with toe Israelites; in return for their fealty, He would deliver them from their enemies, provide sustenance for their bodies, and food for their souls. And at Sinai God renewed His covenant with Israel, and gave to them the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:1-17) and other laws and regulations by which their lives were to be guided. The central truth of our Christian principles is that we must fulfill God’s purpose in our lives, and this we should gladly do in return for His help and guidance. His will, and His eter nal laws are certainly worthy of our respect and consideration. In toe verses under study today, we see the tremendous favors God had undertaken in be half of a chosen nation; we see, also, what was expected of them in return. The same holds true for us in our own day and time. Many things have changed in toe world since Christ knew it, but basic Christian principles and ob ligations remain unchanged. God did not deliver the children of Israel from Egypt as a random display of mercy; rath er, it was an act motivated by a purpose—as has always been His wont. He had a mission for the Israelites to accomplish in the world. For, just as God made His presence known to the Israelites when He handed down to them His covenant and toe Ten Commandments through His intermediary, Moses, so has He re vealed to us, His children, His awesome majesty through the person of Jesus Christ. He has demonstrated to us, not through the majesty of the elements —the thunder and lightning—but in the gentle person of the Savior, His everlasting concern for our welfare. God still calls upon His followers to be a holy people; no longer bound by the confines of one nation; His representatives are widespread throughout the world—wherever there is even one believer. For to be a true believer auto mdtffcalty charges' one with ministry in His name—that His Word might be made known to the unsaved. For missionary work in His name is not confined to teaching His ways abroad; one can be as effective a witness at home, in daily life, as those who pull up stakes and Continued on Page 5 BELK - TYLER’S EDENTON’S SHOPPING CENTER W.
