PAGE FOUR I —B Senator Sam J. Ervin Says . . . . WASHINGTON For the first time in more than a generation the quality of our environment has become a matter of national concern even though Congress has enacted many major laws on this subject during the last decade. The Clean Water Act of 1963, the Water Quality Act of 1965, the Solid Waste Dis posal Act of 1965, the Clean Water Restoration Act of 1966 and the Air Quality Act of 1967, which I supported, have not solved the problems of pollution. The reason is that our civilization and its popu lation has been outgrowing by leaps and bounds the con trols which we have estab lished for the disposal of wastes and dangerous sub DARF Folding Implement Carrier “For The Farmer On The Move” * Attach your Tool Bar equipment to this Implement Carrier Permits you to work 8 - 6 or 4 rows where trees, roads and ditches restrict yon.

With each advance 1 in technology, we have re- 1 duced the cleanliness of our i air and water, and up to now : we have been unwilling to i bear the cost that it will take to restore these vital re sources. Last year, President Nixon became deeply concerned about the need to save our environment and called upon a task force to prepare a package of legislative pro- 1 posals dealing with pollution control. The task force re cently concluded its work, and the President, after re viewing its findings, sent a special message to Congress on February 10, 1970, urging that certain proposals be en acted to amend our major environmental laws. Legisla- ■ m CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAEOUNA, THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 1970. tion on this subject in the form of seven bills was intro duced in the Senate on Feb ruary 18, 1970. I co-sponsor ed these measures along with 33 of my colleagues. In brief, these environmen tal bills call for new federal funding of municipal sewage facilities, tighter air, water and solid waste standards, new research and develop ment programs to deal with environmental contamination, and incentives, regulations and controls to improve and conserve our air and water resources. What these measures seek to do is to improve existing law by recognizing that much more must be done to control filth and dangerous sub ■ stances which we are pour iing into our environment. Under, the water pollution control provisions of this leg islation, the states will be required to create a compre hensive water quality pro gram which would deal more effectively with all pollution of our streams. Administra tive enforcement procedures would be streamlined. Under the present law, there is a conference and a hearing be fore court action. The new enforcement procedure would permit only a hearing-con ference before a court action. The solid waste disposal bill recognizes that America is faced with the prospect of being literally buried by our garbage and litter. To com bat this vast accumulation of trash and junk, the bill seeks to provide the means of re claiming reusable metals, plastics, ceramics, glass, paper and other substances. The most talked-about bill in this legislative package would amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to provide $4 billion in fed eral funds for construction of waste treatment plants dur ing the next four years. The bill proposes that local gov ernments contribute another $6 billion, making this a $lO billion program. This single piece of legislation would do much to clean up our rivers and offshore areas which are now polluted by raw sewage and industrial waste. As a matter of fact, if such a pro gram is not accelerated, many experts believe that time is running out for the purification of some of our streams and lakes. The seven environmental control bills deal with one of the most important issues before the Congress. In com ing weeks, they will be con sidered by the Senate Com mittees on Public Works and the Interior. I am hopeful that they will lead to Con gressional action at this ses sion to improve the quality of our environment.

LOOKED, LISTENED AND LOST By MARY LIZZIE LANE Eve looked at the fruit of the forbidden tree, God told them not to eat of that fruit, you see. She was weak and could not resist, And she also involved her husband in this. After they had eaten from the forbidden tree, Things didn’t seem like they used to be. They knew God would call in the cool of the day, They didn’t want to hear what God had to say. We better listen to God and take His advice, And before we sin we better think twice. Regardless of whether you are a boy or a girl, You better not get involved with this wicked world. You can almost see the old serpent up in the tree, He was just as deceitful as he could be. The serpent spoke to Eve when she was weak, I feel like she didn’t really have time to think. Satan will do all he can to enter the life of man, He will beguile you and sneak around Until all of your weaknesses he has found, Just don't yield to Satan, listen to God, His word is sound. Adam and Eve lost, you plainly see, God would not let them remain in their home to be. They disobeyed, God drove them out into the world, Eve was young and fair, nothing but a girl. But soon children she did bear, A lot of sorrow and disappointment was there. They had lost their home in the garden now, And had to make their living by the sweat of their brow. They had permission to eat of all the trees but one, Now they longed for that special fruit from sun to sun. If they could have been content and listened to God, Maybe Cain wouldn’t have brought them the loss of their younger son. There was sadness in Adam's time, Just as there is in yours and mine. Let’s be content if we can, God will be with us to the end. Merry Hid News By Mrs. Ethel Wlnborne Mrs. Roy Baker, Mrs. Ed Pierce and Mrs. Virgie Baker spent Tuesday at Washing ton.
