Lass week the principal
items' of interest in Wash
ington concerned the mili
tary. Tifst, was the gener
ally approved action of
"' Secretary Stanley R. Resor
bf the Department of the
Army in announcing that
there will be no prosecu
tion of the Green Berets in
connection with the disap
pearance of a Vietnamese
counter-spy. I am convinc
ed that this action was a
result of Congressional pro
test expressed by many of
us. With over 40,000 Am
erican men killed in ac
tion no doubt many of
them as a result of enemy
espionage —it was incon
ceivable that criminal pro
secution could have been
justified in the case of
these young men, acting in
what they considered to be
the best interests of the se
curity of this nation.
Another military matter
was the House approval of
the procurement authoriza
tion for aircraft, missiles,
naval vessels and tracked
combat vehicles for the fis
cal year 1970. This author
ization was for a total of
$21.3 billion. It is import
ant to understand that this

MOBILE HOMES
THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN OF
E DENT ON LIMITS THE LOCATING
OF MOBILE HOMES
'Before placing a mobile home within the city limits of
Edenton, the Building Inspector should be contacted and
proper information obtained concerning location of mo
bile homes other than in approved mobile home parks.
The placing of a mobile home on any lot within the
city limits of Edenton without first obtaining a permit
from the Building Inspector is a violation of the Zoning
Ordinance and is a misdemeanor.

is still an authorization and
remains to be approved by
the Appropriations Com
mittee, as well as requir
ing House consideration of
the Appropriations Com
mittee’s action.
This year the Congress
has conducted a wider dis
cussion and a more careful
consideration of the de
fense budget than ever be
fore. And this is as it
should be, for with the an
ticipated total appropria
tion for national defense
for fiscal year 1970 amount
ing to in excess of $75 bil
lion, it is incumbent on the
Congress to analyze care
fully the justification of
these requests. In addi
tion, these discussions pro
vide a more detailed ex
planation of the public at
large. Through the news
media, the public is given
a much better understand
ing and knowledge of what
exactly is involved in de
fending this country and in
keeping our commitments
with free nations through
out the world.
Representative L. Mendel
Rivers, chairman of the
Armed Services Commit
tee, had this to say: “World
leadership is a tough busi
ness. America has assum
ed this role of world lead
ership, and we cannot for
feit it. We just cannot for
feit this leadership. We
are the only ones who can
handle it, so now let us
handle it.”
The House considered
the military procurement
authorization for three days
while consideration of pro
curement by the Senate
took 2% months. The
House approved version
was $l.B billion less than
the request made by for
mer Secretary .Clifford in
January, and $663 million
less than the amount re
quested by Defense Secre- |
tary Laird on April 15.
THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY OCTOBER I, IMS.
H. R. 13300 was a bill to
amend the Railroad Retire
ment Act of 1937 to accom
plish mandatory retirement
and the extension of sup
plemental annuities. This
bill was a result of an
agreement between over 80
per cent of the membership
of the unions involved and
the management of rail
roads. In spite of this,
most members of Congress
were flooded with protests
from non-affected unions
urging the defeat of this
bill. Apparently these
union leaders were un
aware that this legislation
was necessary to validate
any sort of an agreement,
because the federal govern
ment, through previous
Congressional action, is the
administrator of this retire
ment system.
Many of you have for
warded to this office por
nographic material of the
most repulsive and pervert
ed nature, received by mail.
On each occasion I have
diligently called this to the
attention of the Postmaster
General, as well as the De
partment of Justice, de
manding that some action
be taken. Finally, last week
the Post Office Department
denied the use of rental
boxes to individuals who
use them for immoral or
improper purposes as deter
mined by the department’s
general counsel. In addi
tion, eight publishing firms
have been arrested or in
dicted on charges of vio
lating federal or state por
nographic statutes.

Make Church - Going A Habit ...
THE LORD GOD OR BAAL?
International Sunday School Lesson for Oct 12
Memory Selection: “Hear, O Israel: The Lord
our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the
Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all
thy soul, and with all thy might.”—Deuter
onomy 6:4-5.
Lesson Text: I Kings 17-18.
God, in His watchfulness and concern for His
chosen people, Israel, has ever been ready to
call upon sincere and dedicated men to champion
the cause of Christianity; this is reiterated time
and time again throughout the Bible. It has
been re-iterated time and time again in con
temporary life.
Jeroboam, the first king of the Northern King
dom of Israel, introduced pagan elements into
the worship of Jehovah, and in some fifty years
that followed another came along who perhaps
exceeded Jeroboam on that score—Jezebel, who
opposed the prophets of Jehovah and favored the
prophets of Baal and Asherah. Therefore, the
religious life of people in the Northern Kingdom
went rapidly downhill, until God called upon
Elijah, known for his fearlessness and his wit
ness.
In a confrontation with King Ahab, Elijah
pronounced a drought upon the land that was
to last three years; and during that time Elijah,
himself, dwelt beside a brook that was fed by
a spring, and lived upon food that the ravens
brought him; later he visited a widow at Zare
phath, whose meager supply of meal and oil was
miraculously replenished from day to day (I
Kings 17:14); God also used Elijah to restore
the widow’s only son to life (I Kings 17:22).
After the prophesied three years of drought
had been fulfilled, Elijah again approached Ahab
and issued a public challenge to the powers of
Baal as opposed to the powers of the one true
God of Abraham, Isaac and of all Israel. This
was to take place on Mt. Carmel, and was to be
witnessed by all the people. The worshippers of
Baal offered a bullock as a sacrifice, and en
treated Baal to consume it in fire. Nothing hap
pened. In turn, Elijah took twelve stones and
repaired the altar of the Lord (indicative of the
state of neglect into which the altar had been
allowed to fall, while the people followed pagan
rites); the twelve stones represented the true
unity of the twelve tribes of Israel, and were to
be symbolic in their placement. Elijah further
directed that the bullock and the wood and the
altar were to be drenched with water, thus mak
ing what was to follow even more impressive.
For, upon Elijah’s prayer, the Lord sent down
fire and consumed the offering of Elijah, in spite
of the water that was all around. And upon
the sight, the people fell down and acknowledg
ed God as their one true God. On that day,
God truly routed Baal on Mount Carmel.
We, today, are mixed up in our emotions and
our beliefs about God. So many things distract
us. The struggle to make a living for ourselves
and our families; the competitive spirit, both
inside the country and outside, with the rest of
