PAGE SIX-B Rt; >: The legislative action of Congress continues to drag. Among the limited number of bills considered by the House last week was a bill to amend the “Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act to provide for the estab lishment of a council on environmental quality, and for other purposes.” In brief, this bill provides for the increase in resea«;h on the hazards as well as the benefits of our environ ment with special emphasis on the atmosphere and the aquatic, including the ma rine, estuaries and fresh waters. I feel that this can be of tremendous po tential value to our First Congressional District. Another bill approved, guarantees the confidenti ality of census information. In considering this bill, rCOBLEj rm: ...the iresh milk people! i MM funeral home edentoh mc When we are confronted with a death in the family, most of us are quite unpre pared for the emergency.

"It’s The Extras That Make The Service Even Better" Hollowell's RexaH Drug Store Two Registered Pharmacist s Always On Dmty Phone 482-2127 Prompt Delivery Report From Washington By Rep. Walter B. Jones many of us felt that the proposed questionnaire to be used in the 1970 census was too involved, and in certain instances, some of the questions would be of an extremely personal na ture. I joined with others in attempting to amend this to limit the census ques tions to a maximum of six. Our amendment was not accepted and as finally ap proved, removes the possi bility of a prison sentence for failing to answer, but the penalty of a fine is still retained. The bill also imposes a fine or jail sen tence on government em ployees who release per sonal statistics or informa tion to anyone other than designated branches of government. For several months now, the House Committee on Agriculture has been con ducting hearings on an overall farm bill to re place present legislation known as the “Farm Act of 1965.” The committee has been awaiting some sense of direction by the Depart ment of Agriculture. Last week Secretary Hardin ap peared before the House Committee. He proposed consideration of a “set aside” program which would provide a domestic allotment for cotton and wheat and, in addition, a national feed grain base. Price supports apply to producers who would agree to set aside a certain amount of acreage. Another proposal was THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDEMTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY OCTOBER I. IMA titled “A Domestic Allot ment and Diversion Pro gram.” This, as with most farm programs, would be based on the anticipated demand. Again, this is basically directed to the feed grain and wheat pro duction. Os course, those not participating would not be entitled to diversion or other supplemental pay ments. Perhaps the most signifi cant feature of the two proposals is that compli ance would be voluntary, and it would be giving the farmer a freedom of choice as to his individual partici pation. None of his pro posals affected the present tobacco program and, in re sponse to a direct question from me to the secretary, he admitted that he had received less criticism re garding the tobacco pro gram than any other farm program in existence. I hopefully take this as an indication that no major changes are planned in the tobacco program at this time. In committee action, the House Agriculture Com mittee gave its approval to amending the Federal Seed Act to provide for uniform certification of seeds as to their purity aiyl genetic qualities. This will involve seeds that travel in inter state commerce, as well as seeds imported from 'for eign countries* Many of you have asked from time to time about the conditions of crime here in Washington, D. C. I re gret to inform you that statistics released last week by the FBI are as follows: For the first six months of 1969 as compared with the first six months of 1968: Murders, rapes, rob beries and Assaults are up 37.3 per cent, or three times the national increase. A further breakdown shows that murders are up 42 per cent, rapes are up 50 per cent and robberies are up 46 per cent. - And this alarming rate of crime in what should be the safest and most beautiful city in the world. So long as the courts continue to be over ly concerned about the rights of the criminal, while ignoring the rights of the innocent, little relief can be expected. IN PUERTO RICO Thurrell G.

WHY ISRAEL DIVIDED International Sunday School Lesson for Oct. 5 Memory Selection: “Righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people.”— Proverbs 14:34. Lesson Text: I Kings 12-16. Our memory selection for this week is the context of this lesson—“ Righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people.” Proverbs 14:34. Upon the death of Solomon and the succession of his son, Rehoboam, Israel faced a time of crisis. Under Solomon’s rule Israel had pros pered; this, however, was not accomplished without the levying of fairly heavy taxes; so, the people, feeling dissatisfied and moved to protest, approached Rehoboam, appealing for re lief Q»m the heavy taxation they had been shouldering for such a long time. Rehoboam, however, turned a deaf ear to their pleas. Thus it was that Israel became divided. It was not solely because of taxation, however, that this came about. Many Israelites were greatly disturbed by the introduction of pagan shrines and pagan worship into their midst. They sin cerely believed that Israel had a covenant with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and that covenant should be zealously guarded and ad hered to. This background provided fertile soil for the return of Jeroboam, who had at one time been an overseer for public works under King Solo mon, and who had fled to Egypt after an un successful attempt to stir the people into revolt. The news of Solomon’s death brought Jero boam’s return to Israel, hoping to succeed where once he had failed. His second attempt was successful, and Israel was divided into two parts—the kingdom of Judah, supported by the tribe of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, and the Northern Kingdom, supported by the other ten tribes. •* • Jeroboam, however, was far from secure in his rule. He felt constrained to win Israel away from her ties with Jerusalem, lest the people be won back to the support of Rehoboam. He, therefore, set up two graven images in the form of two golden calves, placing one in Dan and one in Bethel, and these he called on the people to worship. Idolatry again in the national life of Israel. The separation and division which Israel ex perienced has a frightening and familiar ring for us today. The world is divided in its opin ions, its outlooks—in fact, in just about every thing we can think of. The generations are di vided—not just by years, but by-beliefs and by trends. While the division of Israel came about in Rehcboam’s reign (and was, in part, brought about by his unbending attitude to the will of the people, and his failure to listen to older and wiser counselors) still, his father, Solomon, also shared in the responsibility for the sundering of hitherto close ties.
