PAGE SIX-B There was little Congres sional action last week due to Columbus Day, and the Vietnam moratorium on October 15. Some liberal members of the Congress attempted to hold the House in session during the entire night of October 14 as a symbol of their oppo sition to our Vietnam ac tivity. This action pur ported to express approval of the moratorium. Anoth er reason offered was to provide members of the House an opportunity to discuss issues of the war. The statements made that evening were not original, for most of what was said has been said many times before. In the final analy sis, it is the Senate and not the House that ap proves treaties and other foreign negotiations, such as those which have caused us to be involved in the present war. I refer, of course, to the Gulf of Tonkin resolution adopted by the U. S. Senate on August 6, 1964. The all-night effort came to an abrupt halt at 11 P. M., when, in response to a quorum call, the results showed that a majority of the members failed to answer to their names. Un der House rules, no fur ther business can be con ducted in the absence of a quorum. Therefore, ad journment was automatic. A United States Supreme Court decision rendered on October 13 could be damag ing to the future of our to bacco economy. The court refused to review the ac tion of an Appeals Court which, in effect, upheld M MfUtfor* “~1 Ms funeral home 1 fj eoentoh n.c ( H a Pall ~ R M ** denotes both a"cl h ° n ° r - W m lat ionship with the Cl d ° Se re ~ I HI an d also a sens* * dec eased ■ 1 I |g Prompt i ti f led °so d t h G ■ | final act of resp^t^f" 1 this Jjf Attention Farmers i As usual, we are in a position to handle your peanuts with ample stor ! age space.

Walter B. Jones the Federal Communica tions Commission’s right to censor tobacco advertise ments on TV and radio. The tobacco industry had previously announced the withdrawal of television and radio advertising in September, 1970, yet repre sentatives of the National Association of Broadcasters threatened to continue anti tobacco propaganda pro grams for a period of four years after this date. To me, this is one of the most unjustified acts that one industry could inflict upon another. For historically, through the years, many of the better and more ex pensive radio and TV pro grams have been brought to the public at the total expense of the tobacco in dustry. And certainly, with out the dictatorial decrees of the FCC, this contribu tion to the American public would continue. Inasmuch as the anti-tobacco propa ganda programs have been based on the theory of equal time, I intend to question the right or the legality of the National Association of Broadcasters to carry out this threat. The major legislation ap proved by the House last week was H. R. 1300—the Federal Salary Compara bility Act. Each year Con gress is deluged with re quests for salary increases frc.m government employees in all categories. This bill will create a Federal Em ployee Salary Commission, which will annually report to the Congress with spe cific recommendations re garding wage scales of gov ernment employees as com-, THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY OCTOBER S 3. ISM. pared to private industry. This commission will be composed of four members appointed by the President, with one vote each, and four representing em ployee organizations, but with only a total vote of three. The bill was amended to provide that the commis sion’s recommendations must be approved by the Congress for them to be come effective. Another act of the House approved a resolution to declare November 9 a na tional Day of Prayer and Concern for American Ser vicemen Being Held Pris oners in North Vietnam. It is my hope that churches and the people will ob serve this day. A few days ago the North j Carolina Commissioner of Agriculture, Jim Graham, contacted my office and requested my assistance in securing a purchase pro gram by the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture de signed to purchase surplus No. 1 sweet potatoes in North Carolina, to allevi ate a surplus problem which currently exists among growers and pack ers. The department was immediately contacted by phone and I was advised that such a program would be put into effect last week with purchases being made through local ASCS offices at prevailing market prices for distribution to school lunchroom programs, as well as other federal and state agencies certified to teceivc surplus commodi ties. A similar surplus oc curred in 1966, at which time I was successful in securing a purchase pro gram which fas invaluable to our sweet potato farm ers throughout the state.

Make Church - Going A Habit ... REFORMS AMONG GOD’S PEOPLE International Sunday School Lesson for Oct. 26 Memory Selection: “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon."—lsaiah 55:7. Lesson Text: II Kings 18:1-8; 22-23; Jeremiah 25:1-7. As will be seen from the context of this les son, the general moral and spiritual values of a nation—or an age—are largely dependent on'the beliefs and tenets of their leaders. We tend to generalize, in our day and time; we tend to trot out, for instance, that old saw of “like father like son.” This is not necessar ily true. We have all known worthless fathers, and worthwhile sons; we have also known "worth while parents, and worthless children. Today we study the meaningful and sweeping reforms made by two worthwhile sons—sons of weak and shallow fathers—Hezekiah and Josiah; the work of these two kings in overthrowing pagan practices and the worship of idols, and in calling the people of Judah (the little Southern Kingdom) back to the fulfillment of God’s holy ordinances is inspiring, to say the least, and in dicative of what a truly dedicated and sincere spirit can accomplish. Both of them did away with the idolatry that had so insidiously become a part of the national life of Judah. Both fought an uphill fight in calling the people back to the worship of Je hovah, only to have what they so painfully ac complished destroyed once again by the weakness of those who followed them. But nothing that happened in Judah subsequently to their efforts in any way detracted from the spirit of these two wholly dedicated and religious men. When Hezekiah inherited the throne from his father Ahaz, the little kingdom was in dire straits, surrounded as she was by both powerful and aggressive enemies, and her situation was precarious, to say the least. When Ahaz had turned to Assyria for help, Judah paid a heavy price in taxation for her assistance. Besides in volving Judah with Assyria, Ahaz—in order to appease the Assyrian overlord, gave consent to the pagan gods of that country, throughout the little kingdom. One might call it political ap peasement which has not changed too much since those days. Too often we compromise our convictions and our ideals as a matter of personal policy. Ahaz also desecrated the temple by destroying many of the holy vessels used in paying homage to Jehovah. Altars were erected to pagan gods throughout the country, and the practice of hu man sacrifices became almost commonplace. Hezekiah, upon his accession to the throne, geve voice to his lesentment of this evil, and set aoout destroying it. He restored the temple and called upon the people to re-affirm their belief i.i the one true God, calling them back to their commitment to obey the Lord’s commandments.

Incredible that the children 1 now mother tenderly, once were strangers! It seems only yesterday Dan wrote he was bringing them home. How frantic I was with worry and self-doubt. Could 1 lose, as my own, children with slanted eyes and tinted skins? Would I fail them? Could l fulfill Dan’s faith in me? We had been longing for children, true but not foreigners! In desperation, l called my pastor. Calmly and with understanding, he spoke to me of God’s love as the common denominator of all nationalities. And so from the moment I saw them, Sue and Lee have been our own, bringing laughter and joy without measure. How grateful lam for God and His Church and the wisdom they teach—in Christ there is no East nor West. Without this truth my arms might still be empty.
