New Guidelines Concerning FHA Loans
WASHINGTON - Rural
water districts financed by
loans from the Farmers Home
Administration (USDA) can
now include individual and
cluster wells as part of larger
systems due to recent changes
in FmHA guidelines.
The previous definition of
“project” specified that they
could only “include facilities
providing central services.”
This has now been expanded to
read “or facilities servicing
individual properties or both.”
The new definition is for the
guidance of FmHA state
directors who have the final
approval authority for projects
planned in their states.
FmHA had recently begun to
finance such districts on a
Plan For Aged
Program Ready
A planning meeting on a
regional program for the aged
in Northeastern North Carolina
will be held at Edenton
Restaurant Friday. The
meeting begins at 10 A M.
This session was planned
after Albemarle Area
Development Association
formed a Committee on Aged to
work through Albemarle
Regional Planning &
Development Commission with
cooperation from Agricultural
Extension Service.
L. F. Amburn, Jr., AADA
president, will introduce guests
and participants and welcome
extension agents to the
committee.
. Other participants will
include: W. B. Gardner,
ARP DC board chairman; J. C.
Jones of Raleigh, district
extension chairman; Mrs.
Josephine Patterson of
Greensboro, district extension
home economics supervisor;
Dr. Tom Hobgood of Raleigh,
community rural , resource
development specialist; Wesley
B. Culhpher, ARP DC executive
director; Mrs. Isabella
Buckley, specialist for the aging
at N. C. State University in
Raleitfi; and Miss June Myers,
director of the Program on the
Aged in Region “R”.
The session is scheduled to
adjourn at 4:M P.M.

selective basis to evaluate their
economic feasibility. In several
areas of the country, they had
worked closely with National
Demonstration Water Project
(NDWP), which has model
projects operating in five states
to assist low-income rural
residents in developing user
owned water and sewer
companies.
“The new guidelines are
appropriate and timely,” said
Stanley Zimmerman, NDWP
executive director. “There are
many rural residents who live
in remote and scattered
locations who could not
otherwise be served. Now they
will be able to have their own
well, or perhaps share one With
two or three of their neighbors,
and still have the benefits of
central management and

Rev. Earnhardt:
(Editor’s Note: Following is a
synopsis of the sermon
preached in Edenton United
Methodist Church onjune 10 by
Rev. E. L. Earnhardt. The topic
was: “A Lion In The Streets”
from the text, Proverbs 22:13.)
If this sermon seems familiar
• it should! This pastor
preached on this text to this
congregation April 19,1970.1 do
not know if you will remember
the troubled times that
produced the need' (or the
opportunity) at that time, but
we are all aware of the troubles
that produce the need, and the
opportunity, to look again at
this text today.
I do not think it likely, or even
possible, that we will suffer
quite the disruption or the
painful tragedies that befell
some communities in the spring
of 1970 or the summer
preceeding it. If we do not it will
not be because of any threat of
arms or retaliation. It will be
due to the backlog of kindness
and good relationships that will
prevent hate from fanning the
fires of anger to a more violent
peak. Know this! It is not
violence, or the threat of
violence that prevents violence.
It is loving kindness and the
promise of living kindnesk.
Anger only begets anger. Love
begets love!
There is a lion in the street
right here in Edenton. We are
afraid to let our wives and
children go downtown for fear
they will be hurt by the lion.
This situation makes us angry.
We have the inclination to go out
and slay the lion. I hope we will,
but I hope we use the right
ammunition and the right

maintenance. We have been
working with Farmers Home
very closely in implementing
such projects and have been
impressed with their
willingness to evaluate them on
their merits.”

i Know this! The lion is not
I people! We were living among
the same people in peace when
the lion was not active. If we
direct our anger toward people
we will be way off target. The
real lion is anger, discontent,
frustration, lust, greed, envy,
and all the other invisable
powers of darkness that die
Church should have been at war
with all the time!
The weapons that can slay the
lion are in our very hands. They
are love, compassion,
understanding, kindness, self
sacrifice, the sharing of one
another’s burdens. If we had
more actively used these
weapons when the lion was
sleeping, we would not be facing
an awake and dangerous lion
today.
“The slothful man saith, there
is a lion in the without, I shall be
slain in the streets.” The
“slothful” man is the one too
lazy to do anything but
complain. He will cringe behind
closed doors in hopes that the
lion will tire at last of its
rampage and go away to inflict
some other community.
The courageous man will see
the lion for what he truly is and
lay his plans to do effective
battle to see that this lion will
never again threaten our peace
or that of any other.
This preacher, feeling led by
The Holy Spirit, suggested last
fall a plan of action for our
church that if followed just
might have wounded this lion.
Our leaders prayerfully
considered the plan and, after
much soul-searching, decided
against it for that particular

time. It may well be that we
arrived at the right decision for
that particular time. Today, or
tomorrow, may be a better
time. Perhaps a wiser course
would be to wait until the lion
goes to sleep again and THEN
I TO SLAY HIM!
It must be acknowledged,
however, that those who pray
and worship together find it
difficult to hate one another.
Jesus Christ has offered us the
weapons that can most surely
slay this lion if they are only
used effectively. His weapons
are: “Do good to those who hate
you”. “Pray for those who
dispitefully use you.” and,
“Love, one another as I have
loved you.”
Until we learn to use the right
weapons and aim at the right
targets the various lions will
continue to awake one by one
(or in packs, God forbid!) and
attack us. We talk about this
war of Christ. We smile about it,
and we may even pray about it.
Then we look to other devices for
our protection. We shall be
eaten alive if we do wake up and
use what Christ has taught us!
The weapons of Christ will
certainly eliminate evil! No
other weapons will! We have
tried other ways and weapons
repeatedly without success.
When,'oh, when, will we at last
turn to Jesus Christ for
salvation and be saved? He is
patiently waiting at the door.
