Page -B Rep.. Walter B. Jones Reports Last w«k might be considered. as far as_ottl- Office is concerned, similar to some of the popular jokes going around a few moii thsago - good news and bad n.ews. The good miws was that I had the pleasure of attending on Tuesday a celebration at the DuPont Plant! in Kinston. The celebration was for establishing a new world industrial safety record of more than 45,808.779 exposure hou rs Over a 9-' 2 year period without a disabling or time lost injury. In this day of high absenteeism in industry due to accidents. > this is an almost unbelievable record, and let me: commend the 2,800 employees of the plant who through their carefulness and diligence made the record possible I also commend the management at DuPont for paying proper tribute to their employees through the gala celebration which they hosted. In the context of bad news was the results of a conference which I arranged with officials of the National Park Service. Among those; present were Congressmen Roy Taylor and Jim Martin: in addition, the offices of Senator Ervin and Helms were represented.

The meeting was necessary due to a tentative decision of the Department of Interior to abandon all efforts to combat the erosion on their own property in the Outer Banks. It was quite apparent, however, that the Park Service had made a firm decision to abandon all efforts to maintain the beaches and the dune barrier and to permit, as they stated, “the natural processes to prevail." Several alternatives were suggested, such as the placing of the responsibility of maintenance in the hands of the Corps of Engineers on the grounds they have more expertise than the Park Service. Another suggestion included the possibility of the Park Service purchasing the private property which would be threatened. Another alternative was the possibility of the Park Service returning the shoreline properties initially acquired by condemnation proceeding! arfd permit the private 'property owners to maintain their own protecton. Still another alternative was the construction of structural barriers; however none of these were acceptable to the Park Service. If they pursue this announced policy, it will jeopardize the millions of dollars of privately owned commercial and personal property. I am sure that some will feel that the private property owners built at their own risk; but at the time the land was acquired by the Department of Interior, the then Director of the Park Service, Conrad Wirth, promised that the shorelines would be maintained. No doubt with this assurance, many people invested their life savings in homes and businesses in the threatened area. I think it is important to remember that the Park Service owns the entire coastline of some 72 miles and it seems that it would be to their own best interest to protect it if at all possible. Os course, final decisions as to direction and action will come from the Congress, and as a Member of Congress, I shall continue my efforts to secure, legislation in an effort to find a satisfactory way of fighting the serious problem of beach erosion on the Park Service property. Farm Fires Most Costly Farms fires are potentially the most dangerous, because the farmer, his family and his property are usually miles away from the nearest fire department or from neighbors who could lend assistance. Never is a farm so isolated than when a fire strikes. Farm families should take all precautions to prevent accidental fires and they should use all methods of fighting fires if they do start, says Melvin E. Howell, Farmers Home Administration county supervisor in Hertford. The Farmers Home Administrations, in observance of National Fire Prevention Week, offers this list of fire prevention and protection ideas : 1. Make sure every member of your family knows how to call the fire department. Post the fire department number at the telephone. Also make sure your fire department knows the layout of your farm, house and barn, and the location of water supplies. 2. Check condition of heating equipment, including chimneys and flues. Make all repairs necessary for safe operation. 3. Check electric wiring for wear and loads replace worn and inadequate wiring. Use only 15-ampere fuses unless a circuit has been especially designed for larger loads. 4. Keep fire fighting tools accesible in an emergency. 5. Have ladders ready for escape and for fighting roof fires. 6. Keep fire extiguishers on hand. Check them frequently and recharge them when necessary. Also, protect them from freezing daring winter months. 7. Maintain a water supply in cisterns and stock ponds. They may be the only source of water for fighting fires. Five and a half million boys and girls, between the ages of 9 and 19, are participants in 4-H, America’s largest youth organization.

Along about that time, a fellow by the name of Columbus stumbled on this new continent. That's when it all started. The English got into the act about 100 years later when Raleigh sent a bunch of colonists to Roanoak. (The folks back home never did hear from them). Finally, a group did manage to hang on at Jamestown. Since that time, things really moved, and Albemarle shared in the building of America In a most auspicious man ner. It's no wonder we're so proud of Columbus, today. w Tbe Norfolk & Carol* Telephone#Telegraph Co.

Continuing our study in the j writings of Paul, we are further impressed with the reasoning powers of this great and very devout man. We find him looking back over a truth which has' already been established, and not one to “rest on his laurels” so to speak— looking forward to the Christian application of past lessons learned in outgoing response to God’s very evident concern for mAikind. For Paul sought, very earnestly, to bring mankinds to a solid realization of the blessings to be had in Christ, and in Him alone. Throughout Paul’s teachings the word “therefore” played a prominent part. He did not leave his hearers dangling and bemused. He strove logically to link the past with the present and the present with the future in bringing God’s word to mankind. “Justification” or transformation was wrought by God in sinful man. This Paul firmly believed, and so sought to impart to the faithful. Justification is gained, in —God's sight, by the repentant sinner who has accepted the death of Christ as being uniquely his; for through it, man has gained acceptance at the throne of the Almighty God, Creator of all things. He has gained an awareness of his own unworthiness, and of the supreme love and concern that culminated on Calvary, when the precious blood of the Savior was shed that man might be forgiven of his sins. Paul, the converted sinner, was acutely aware of the blessings of peace that came with his own conversion peace of mind, peace of soul..qualities which had hitherto been lacking within himself. This inner joy Paul was anxious to share with his fellow men. These were but a taste of the joys that awaited the faithful. / Paul’s thoughts were not only for the benefits which accrued to the convert in his temporal life; they were explicit in their description of the life beyond the grave. For Calvary was followed by the Resurrection. The Savior died but He rose again,, in indistructible life, that He could serve mankind from an even more exalted position...the right hand of the throne of the Father! He was man’s emissary, that the repentant might have audience with the Almighty. Christians need constantly to return to the cross; Before it our weaknesses, our self doubts, our smallness (or delusion; of grandeur) fall into the proper perspective. That which troubles us and seems, at the time, insurmountable, becomes of little importance. For, seeking communion with God, we gain in perspective. For the Christian, what the death of Christ secured, the continuing life of Chrfof » B^hyuto.le ' __ ■lrxietifl'h bm! o oMigfliA ! -continuing Paul's. *4l* Take another these You’re right, there are no landings!
