Senator Sam J. Ervin Says
WASHINGTON—Confronted
with a new national mood
and changing priorities, the
President’s State of the Union
address ‘ eloquently presented
the challenges of the new de
cade. The address, however,
did not blueprint proposed
solutions to our problems.
The chief executive said he
would propose hi 3 remedies
in a dozen or more special
messages to the Congress
later in the session.
There was much common
ground between the senti
ments of the President and
the nation on what the prob
lems are. With respect to
foreign policy, he called for
an end of the Vietnam war
through a just peace. He an
nounced also that his foreign
policy would deal with the
realities of a world that has
changed much in the last 25
years, and said the time has
come for us to “reduce our
involvement and our pres

ence in other nations’ af
fairs." In essence ( what the
President appeared to be say
ing was that we have strain
ed our economy and our re
sources in trying to act as
the world’s policeman, an
opinion which I have ex
pressed many times during
the last two decades.
The two other key issues
mentioned by the President—
inflation and crime control—
certainly strike a responsive
rote in the minds of Ameri
cans. I am gratified that the
Piesident announced that he
would present a balanced
budget for fiscal 1971. He
correctly blamed deficit fed
eral spending which has oc
curred in many prior years
as the cause of today’s rising
prices. In calling for a broad
attack on crime, the Presi
dent was emphasizing anew
what most Americans have
urged for some time. It
should be remembered, how-
THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON. NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY. JANUARY- 89. 1978
ever, that neither of these
most pressing domestic prob
lems has yet been responsive
to simple rhetoric. Any re
lief in these areas will re
quire the cooperative efforts
of our entire governmental
structure. Congress and the
executive branch must work
together to control federal
spending and inflation. Both
of these branches of the gov
ernment sorely need the co
operation of the judicial
branch to cope with crime.
The President laudably
gave environmental pollution
control a priority status in
the administration’s catalogue
of programs. Unquestionab
ly, there is much need to
continue the major programs
enacted by the Congress in
this area in recent years.
There was some friction be
tween Congress and the ad
ministration at the last ses
sion when Congress raised
the budget request for anti
pollution control. It remains
to be seen just how the Presi
dent will seek to implement
existing federal efforts to
purify the air we breathe and
the water we drink.
While the President advo
cated new solutions for most
ot the nation’s ills, and should
be commended for so doing,
his message shed no light on
one of the most troublesome
problems of this hour the
crisis of the public schools
and what we should do to
improve that situation. It
would have been laudable if
the President had urged that
we take a realistic approach
to this problem also. Indeed,
it would be refreshing if the
nation embarked upon a new
policy which emphasized edu
cation as the prime function
of the public schools.

Q. I have a loan on my
GI insurance policy. For the
past few years I have been
paying the interest as it be
came due. I would now like
to pay on the principal, but
how do I proceed?
A. Send with your check
the stub attached to the re

ment If you do not have
the stub, enclose a note re
questing that the payment be
applied to your loan.
Q. i am enrolled m col

my monthly subsistence be
reduced for the Christmas
vacation and the period be
tween semesters?
■A. No. In institutions of
higher learning the Christmas
vacation and the period be
tween semesters are consid
ered part of the school year.
Deductions will not be made
for these periods.
Q. I am going to resume
training late this fall at the
same college that I attended
in 1967. Do I have to get a
new certificate of eligibility
from the VA?
A. No, provided that you
also plan to resume training
in the same program, a new
certificate of eligibility is not
required. But make sure
that you inform the proper
official at the college that
you wish to receive benefits
from the VA. They will then
send an enrollment certifi
cate to the VA so that an
award can be made to author
ize training allowance for the
current school year.

Make Going To Church A Habit
JESUS TEACHES GOD’S JUDGMENT
International Sunday School Lesson for Feb. 1
Memory Selection: "Salvation, and glory, and
honor, and power, unto the Lord our god: for
true and righteous are His judgments.”—Reve
lation 19:1-2.
Lesson Text: Matthew 13:1-51.
Those of us who make an earnest study of the
Bible and the precepts of Christianity will be
completely familiar with the parable; for it was
one of Christ’s favorite methods of teaching. A
story within a story, it contained a moral pre
cept by which a life was to be guided, to be
come acceptable to God.
Jesus preached to people from all walks of
life—to the learned, to the unlettered; He had
to reach them all, with no condescension. Some
parables were easier to translate than others;
but the ones that were hard presented a Chal
lenge, and were designed to stimulate thinking,
for Christ wanted not a blind and sheeplike fol
lowing, but a congregation of followers who
thought things through, each in his own way, to
arrive at complete understanding of God’s ways.
i Perhaps the most graphic example of this
kind of teaching lies in the parable of the tares
among the good wheat; the story of a man who
planted his fields with good seed, to be harvest
ed in due course; the story, also, of an enemy
of that man sowing a corrupt and poisonous ver
sion of wheat amongst the good seed, and of the
servants addressing their master,, asking if they
should gather up the tares from the wheat, and
of the master replying: “Nay lest while ye
gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat
with them.”
To those who questioned Jesus on the mean
ing of His story, Christ was saying let not
judgment be hasty; the time will come when
evil will be weeded out from the good—when
all the facts have been weighed.
So it is with man; his good deeds will be
weighed with his bad actions. God will be the
judge of whether he is predominately motivated
by good or evil. Our impulses to help and love
our fellow men are the “good seed”; those to
wards destroying our enemies are the “tares.”
Honesty, integrity, loyalty—all these are desir
able in the spirit of man; dishonesty, weakness
of conviction, disloyalty—these are tares in the
makeup of mankind. Just as cruelty is the op
posite of kindness, truth is the opposite of lying.
In all these areas we shall be judged when the
time for judgment comes.
A separation of good from evil will take place
at the time and day of judgment. But what,
say the temporates, if nothing is definitely black,
or definitely white? Surely there are vexing
shades of grey in between, where evi! is
out-and-out evil, and virtue is not out-and out
virtue. But rather a complexity of mankind—a
sincere and earnest endeavour towards good, dic
tated by circumstances beyond the control of the
average man. Most assuredly, will the innate
prompting be the leavening agent of God’s judg-

Marilyn deserves an "A” in Communications. Unfortunately,
that is not one of her courses. n i
Do you suppose when we were young we had less to talk Fy ( \
about? Fewer opinions worth stating? Quieter friends? Anyway,
home was never like this! \ A
Still, apart from the inconvenience, I have no strong objec- ) Mv
tions to Marilyn’s monopoly of the wires. Indeed, it has served
to remind me more than once of the tremendous need of this (< y!
youthful generation for the right kind of friends and the right
sense of values. \ j 1
Fortunately, our church has been an important influence on
Marilyn’s life in both areas. Religious education has fostered
moral and religious convictions which are shaping her character.
Whether it’s "girl-talk” or "boy-talk” that is keeping our line
busy—it’s just part of the normal, wholesome growing-up of
a teen-ager.
