KEEPING PLAZA IN TRIM— Mrs. J. G. Wood, seated, and Mrs. Lynn Bond
are two of the members of the Garden of Eden Club who regularly can be seen
working on the Confederate Plaza at the foot of Broad Street. They are responsible
for keeping different plants, shrubs, etc., on the grounds around the monument.
Senator Sam Ervin Says:
WASHINGTON The objec
tive of the House - passed
Equal Rights Amendment is a
worthy one. It is to abolish
unfair discriminations which
society makes against women
in pertain areas of life. No
one believes more strongly
than I that discriminations of
this character ought to be
abolished, and that they ought
to be abolished by law in
every case where they are
created by law.
Even so, I am convinced
that this House-passed amend
ment is a potentially destruc
tive and self defeating blun
derbuss which would invali
date all laws making distinc
tions between men and wo
men, and would plunge soci
ety into constitutional and
legal chaos. I say this be
cause the House - passed

amendment is shrouded in ob
scurity, and no one has suffi
cient prophetic power to pre
dict with accuracy what in
terpreiation the Supreme
Court will place upon it. I
share the view o S many con
stitutional scholars that if the
Senate should approve the
House-passed amendment and
three-fourths of the states
Should ratify it, this amend
ment would be interpreted to
nullify every existing federal
and state law making any
distinction whatever between
men and women, and would
rob Congress and the legisla
tures of the 50 states of the
legislative power t<3 enact any
future laws making any dis
tinctions between men and
women, no matter how reas
onable these laws may be.
When one examines the re

alities of the House passed
amendment, he finds that it
would not bring into being
any new laws giving us a
discrimination - free society,
and those Who desire such a
society would again have to
implore Congress and the leg
islatures of the 50 states to
enact laws creating the kind
of society they seek insofar
as such a society can be es
tablished by law. It should
be noted that many just
grievances are founded upon
discriminations not created by
law, and the Equal Rights
Amendment would have no
effect whatsoever upon them.
The issue before the Sen
ate then Is not whether soci
ety makes unfair discrimina
tions against women, but
whether the House - passed
amendment constitutes a
sensible approach to their
abolition. This raises the
question of whether Congress
should submit to the states
an amendment to the Consti
tution to deal with this mat
ter, and whether such amend
ment should permit Congress
and the states, acting within
their respective jurisdictions,
to make reasonable distinc
tions between the rights and
responsibilities of men and
women in appropriate areas
of life.
In my judgment, the 14th
Amendment’s “equal protec
tion clause” properly inter
preted is sufficient to abolish
all unfair discriminations
against women. Nonetheless,
I recognize that many do not
share my opinion on this
point. For this reason, last
week I introduced an alterna
tive amendment to insure
equality of women’s rights,
but one which would not
place upon the Supreme
Court the obligation to sail
upon the most tumultous con
stitutional seas without chart
or compass in quest of an
undefined and unknown port.
In brief, my amendment
would state that equality of
rights shall not be abridged
because of sex. Moreover, it
would (1) specifically ex
empt women from compulsory
military service, and (2) al
low the passage of any law
“reasonably designed to pro
mote the health, safety, priv
acy, education of economic
welfare of women, or to en
able them to perform their
duties as homemakers or
mothers.” s
My amendment has the
virtue of recognizing that
there are physiological and
functional differences between
men and women, and in my
judgment is more likely to be
ratified by the states if it
passes the Congress. Legisla
tors, both federal and state,
should welcome its approach
toward changing the Consti
tution in a sensible manner.
It is next to impossible for
a politician, these days, to
speak out on subjects the way
he would like to.
CARD OF THANKS
There are not enough words
to say Thank You to my
friends in Edenton who have
been so thoughtful and kind
as to remember me and my
husband Bill McCabe since
his acute and critical illness
of May 14th with their notes,
cards and telephone calls to
my mother Mrs. E. W. Bond,
Sr., and most of all the pray
ers you have spoken. These
are the things that have boost
ed me and kept me going as
I was so crushed by this sud
den critical condition he de
veloped. We covet your con
tinued prayers for a possible
long recovery. Thank you. |
