PAGE TWO -B Senator Sam J. Ervin Says . . WASHINGTON—Our count ry, which will soon celebrate he 300th anniversary of Ms ndependence, is challenged >y many problems at home ind abroad. The principal issue now ■onfronting us is how we can ichieve peace and stability at icme and abroad in a peril ius world. This issue goes ar beyond our decisions on tow we can honorably extri cate ourselves from the com nitment we have made in de ense of the South Vietnam :sc people. It runs the Whole ;amut of preserving peace in world. At home, this involves many decisions in respect to legislation before the Con gress. We are troubled by inflation and government spending. We are troubled by an economy which creates rising prices and rising un employment We are plagued by pollution, by our educa ■ tional processes, and by a myriad of problems including housing, welfare, transporta tion and space exploration. We find that many of our J governmental processes are ! under attack because they do : not operate as many think they should. There is much ' concern about how the mili !■ tary draft chooses inductees. In response to this concern, a presidential commission head • ed by former Defense Secre ■' tary Thomas S. Gates has rec !■ ctmmended that we abolish ? the draft except for emerg (jerboa^ \ BABY TEETHING?

C. ency situations and institute a voluntary army when the existing draft law expire* on June 30, 1971. The President has since indicated that he feels that the draft will have to be extended beyond June 30, 1071, but has endorsed the Gates Commission recom mendation that we -institute a voluntary army at a later date. The voluntary army con cept is one which the Con gress will be considering along with other draft re form proposals in the months ahead. My own feeling is that we should proceed with any transition from the draft to an all-voluntary aivny con cept with the utmost cau tion, because otherwise we may jeopardize our ability to defend our nation when we most need an effective mili tary force. The proposed welfare re form bill to provide a guaran teed standard of living for low-income citizens has been the subject of many “second thoughts” after the House passed this measure in mid- April. After several days of hearings, the Senate Finance Committee expressed dissatis faction with the bill and re cessed hearings until the ad ministration reviews and re drafts this measure. Another major issue before this Congress is that of en vironmental pollution. As a w ctowam wauaa, bum; womi caouu, ttompat, mat a, im. conservationist who has sup ported the major laws enact ed by Congress on this sub ject, I am pleased to find that the nation is expressing some of the same concerns which I have voiced for many years about the quality of our en vironment. Again at this session, I have cosponsored the seven administration bills which seek to implement ex isting laws dealing wHh pol lution. Two transportation bills are presently well along in their consideration by the Congress. Last week the Senate passed a measure to establish a new National Railroad Passenger Corporation, and that bill now goes to the House. The Airport and Airways Bill to improve air transportation Tribute Is Paid Stalls By Newspaper At School (jEditors Note: The follow ing tribute to Prinicpal Ken neth Stalls appeared in the May 15th edition of The Cho wan ian, award winning pub lication of Chowan High School). Throughout a person’s life, one encounters many indivi duals. Os these, only a very few imprint a long-lasting impression of greatness. Mr. Kenneth Stalls is such an in dividual. As stated in the 1970 Cho wan Chief, ‘During our 12 years of school life at OHS we have grown under three different principalships. Nev er has any one man done so much for this school, and gained so much respect from the student body as our prin cipal, Mr. Kenneth Stalls.” For three years now, he has held the position of chief administrator of this school — a job difficult in itself but when carved out to the Nth degree of perfection, the way that Mr. Stalls so saw neces sary, one cannot imagine the responsibility that has been his. ( He never faltered in any way. Always, in any and all situations, he acted and spoke as an ideal principal would. Upon coming to this school, he confronted many obstacles —obstacles which he laid up on himself to change. Aware of the fact that the student body had been with out discipline for quite some , time, he made it clear to them from the very begin ning his feelings concerning the matter and his inten-■ tions. Immediately the students reacted. They had been in troduced to a man who meant what he said. And never once have they been given reason to feel otherwise. The students now had -a leader—a leader who no mat ter what his decisions, the student body must and will obey. “We don’t always agree with him, but what he facilities is presently in a Senate-House conference, with its fate expected to be re solved soon. Three congressional com mittees have been holding hearings on health care costa and programs. The Senate Anti-Trust and Monopoly Sub committee. has been review ing the high cost of medical care while the Senate Finance Committee has been conduct ing an intensive investigation into the administration of the medicare and medicaid pro grams. A House Government Operations Subcommittee has been holding hearings on the administration of the medi care hospital insurance pro gram. This is the nature of our problems at home and abroad. A w£- Tppf KENNETH L. STALLS says goes.” Not only did he reinstate discipline, he also led the way in establishing an honorable name for Chowan High School by securing it accredi tation. Immediately following this, he strived to get Chowan membership in the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. But these are just a be ginning of what Mr. Kenneth Stalls has done for Chowan High School. And now, with his resigna tion, the school and the com munity are indebted to him— more than they could ever realize. But rather than the par ents, or even the faculty members, the students will ■ probably miss him most Always showing up when the least expected, always at the scene of the crime —he was one step ahead of the students, somehow knowing what they were going to do before they even knew them selves. But not only did he display leadership qualities, but also qualities of a real human be ing— including a sense of humor the students truly ap preciated. ■He always showed an in terest in each individual stu dent, offering advice which the student could safely rely upon. Never could a school be so fortunate as to know a prin cipal like him; never could a student be so fortunate as to know a leader like him; nev er could a person be so fort unate as to know a man like him—a principal, a leader, a man—great in all aspects. For all that he has done for us, the Class of ”70 pays tribute to him —a tribute he duly deserves. “And departing, leaves be hind, footprints in the sands of time.” Highway Maps Are Available RALEIGH—North Carolina’s highway maps possibly the most widely distributed piece of literature the state offers the public—have arrived at die Highway Building in Ra leigh.
