PAGE FOUR-B Senator Sam Ervin Says WASHINGTON—The lat est government statistics show another rise in tex tile imports, principally from Japan, and reveal that this trend has wors ened our trade deficit The textile industry has been the neglected child of our economy since 1957, the last year in which this country had a favorable balance of textile trade. Early in the Kennedy ad ministration, it became ap parent that something had to be done to remedy this situation. The GATT con trol arrangements for cot ton textiles were develop ed then as a partial solu tion to the unfair pressures our textile industry was ■under from foreign pro ducers who benefit from lower wage costs, lesser taxes, and more favorable governmental policies. The 1961 arrangement dealt with the cotton imports and did not touch the wool and synthetic fiber import problems.

C., at 12:00 noon on Friday, September 12, 1969, the tract of farmland situated in Bethel Township, Perquimans County, containing 36.8 acres, bounded on the south by N. C.

Wells of Leßoy, Wells, Shaw and Homthal, Attorneys at Law, 112 North Martin Street, Elizabeth City, N. C. JAMES S. McNIDER, JR OWNER The new figures show that our 1968 deficit in textile -trade amounted to about sl.l billion. Cotton, wool and synthetic fiber imports resulted in SBOO million of this trade deficit. This deficit was S3OO mil lion larger than that in curred during the preceding year. The problem has im mense consequences for our state. The textile and ap parel industries in North Carolina constitute about 40 per cent of our indus trial force. These indus tries have more than 1,700 plants in our state. They employ more than 333,000 of our citizens with an an nual payroll exceeding $1.5 billion. It has been esti mated that more than 1.5 million North Carolinians are dependent on the tex tile and garment industries far their livelihood. The basic problem is that our textile producers are faced with greater costs than their overseas compe titors who are flooding our domestic textile market. This condition affects the job security of thousands of North Carolinians and millions of Americans. The problem has not been resolved because a battle has raged for years in this country between those who believe in rea sonable protection far Am erican textiles and those who favor free trade. Con sequently, our government has often been indecisive in its efforts to protect the domestic textile industry, and foreign nations have taken advantage of this situation. It should be evident to any fair- minded person that we do not have the conditions present in this country which will permit our textile industry to thrive under a “free trade” policy. This is so because “free trade” cannot exist unless we are willing to let prices rise and fall with the demands of the market. | Not only are we unwilling | THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDEKTON, WORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 4. 1M«. to do this, but we have also established controls over our domestic industry through minimum wages, taxes and other govern mental policies which in terfere with a free market. In addition, the textile in dustry is at the mercy of overseas competitors who benefit from their national trade and investment poli cies. Thus the American textile industry is faced with serious problems un known to its foreign com petitor. To remedy this problem, this nation must now es tablish reasonable restraints on wool, synthetic fibers and blended textile goods coming into this country. The Secretary of Commerce has recently sought to con clude such an agreement with Asian and. European nations. Thus far, he has met with little success. Un less such an agreement is concluded soon, I think Congress should enact mea sures to remedy this situa tion, and I expect to sup port such legislation.

' GOD GRANTS ISRAEL A KING International Sunday School Lesson for Sept 7 Memory Selection: ‘Only fear the Lord, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for con sider how great things He hath done for you.”— I Samuel 12:24. Lesson Text: I Samuel 8-12; 15-16; 18:5-12; 28; 31:1-7. GOD IS OMNIPOTENT! That is the text of the lesson we study today. He created the Heav ens and the earth, and all that in them dwells. But Man He created in His own image, and, of all the animals, man is the only one with reas oning power and freedom of choice. He has the freedom to choose his own tenets, his own standards of morals, his own allegiances; but God controls the consequences of mankind’s choices. We may consider ourselves more advanced than the nations of Biblical times, but—never theless—we experience the same need for spir itual leadership that, for instance, Israel did. God, as then, is ever ready to provide Divine leadership to those who truly crave it But, in Biblical times, Israel was God’s chosen race; He was her King. From time to time she had a stated leader, called a judge; but he was a leader by God’s appointment whose purpose was to bring the people back to obedience to God’s commands. The time came, however, when Israel demand ed a king such as other nations had, and the crux of this lesson is concerned with the grant ing of this wish. Samuel was such an one, marked by God to take his place in the destiny of his own people. Hannah, Samuel’s mother, was a devout woman; Samuel was dedicated to God’s service at an early age. He proved himself worthy of God’s choice to be a leader of His people. In that, Hannah fared better than did her beloved Sam uel; for Samuel’s sons proved to be totally un worthy of their devout parentage. They grew to manhood physically, but never spiritually; they became notorious for their immoral behaviour and they left their mark upon the history of Israel and of Christianity more by default than by accomplishment. For their unworthiness, on top of the unworthiness of the sons of that other great leader of Israel, Eli, caused the people to become restless, and to have the security of an earthly king, as did other leaders. They quite lost sight of the fact that they were not intended to be as other nations—they had been chosen as God’s own nation. t S °’„ in . due course « Samuel appointed Saul as Israels king, following God’s instructions. Saul however, although he started out brilliantly, soon fell heir to the failings of humanity. His son Johnathan, had a dearly loved friend in the young David. Young, upright and virtuous, Djvid soon claimed the affection of the people. * Saul’s praises—but they sang David’s * vin lender. Jealousy corroded the soul of - •I. and it was not long before he found dis i> ensure in God’s eyes. Continued on Page 6 BELK - TYLER EDENTON’S SHOPPING CENTER W. E.
