Senator Sam J. Ervin Says
WASHINGTON - Since 1
have announced my
intention to retire at the end of
my term on January 3, 1975, it
seems not amiss for me to give
the people of North Carolina at
this time something in the
nature of an accounting of my
stewardship as their Senator.
I have endeavored to practice
on all occasions the concept that
a public office is a public trust. I
have sought to make life more
abundant for the farm families
of North Carolina, who produce
the food, fiber, and agricultural
crops essential to our existence
and comfort: to support the free
enterprise system, and promote
the economic interests of those
who invest and labor in North
Carolina’s industries; to
promote the development of
worthwhile projects in North
Carolina’s river basins and
harbors: to preserve
constitutional government and
the blessings of liberty for all
Americans: to secure to those
who labor freedom to join or to
refrain from joining unions in
conformity with their own
desires; to compel the Federal
government to balance its
budget, stop deficit financing,
and terminate its wasteful
foreign aid programs; to
maintain armed forces
sufficient to insure our national
survival in a precarious world;
to further education, medical

research, and the public health;
to conserve our natural
resources, reduce pollution in
our atmosphere and waters,
and our highways,
parkways and parks toll-free to
all our people; to secure
reasonable benefits to disabled
veterans and their dependents
and to the aging and
handicapped; to obtain the
enactment of laws to protect
Federal employees against
tyrannical treatment by their
government, and to obtain the
enactment of laws establishing
procedures for Constitutional
Conventions called on the
The Superintendent Reports
At this particular time of year
with a Christmas just over and a
New Year before us, it perhaps
might be permissible, or a least
forgiveable, for me to reflect on
life in general and on what it
means to live.
William Jones once said,
“The great use of life is to spend
it for something that will
outlast it.”
Many of us may find this
noble statement worthy of
quoting. At the same time,
however, we may ask, “without
great fame or fortune, what in
my life is so useful?”
Simply stated, it is this —
oneself. The selfhood of each
petition of two-thirds of the
States.
At the same time I have
fought, as sinful and tyrannical,
proposals that Americans be
taxed to support religious
institutions in violation of the
First Amendment; as
incompatible with freedom
proposals that State right-to
work laws by repealed and that
compulsory unionism be forced
upon those who do not wish to
join unions; as inimical .to
justice, proposals to enact “no
knock” and preventive
detention taws; as inconsistent
with our system of government
person is special. The
perspective from which each
one views life is unique.
A message by Wilford A.
Peterson, from The Art of
Living, received in a Christmas
card expresses this so well.
The Art of Giving
We give of ourselves when we
give gifts of the heart: love,
kindness, joy, understanding,
tolerance, forgiveness.
We give of ourselves when we
give gifts of the mind: ideas,
dreams, purposes, ideals,
principles, plans, inventions,
projects, poetry.
We give of ourselves when we
give gifts of the spirit: prayer,
vision, beauty, aspiration,
peace, faith.
We give of ourselves when we
give the gift of words:
encouragement, inspiration,
guidance.
Emerson said it well: “Rings
and jewels are not gifts, but
apologies for gifts. The only
true gift is a portion of thyself.”
Certainly as we begin this
new year, the teachers,
administrators and school
board pledge to give a portion of
themselves so that each student
enrolled in the Edenton-Chowan
Schools may. indeed, truly
become what they potentially
can be.

THE.CHOWAN HERALD
the use of the military to spy on
civilians exercising their First
Amendment rights of free
speech, assembly, and petition;
as intolerable, governmental
efforts to intimidate
individuals, newsmen, and
broadcasters for eicercising
their rights of free speech and a
free press in a manner
displeasing to government; as
rank tyranny, unnessary
governmental invasions of the
privacy of our people, and
governmental collection and
computerization of data
concerning their political and
religious thoughts, beliefs, and
activities; and as unwise,
welfare proposals calculated to
convert able-bodies Americans
into mendicants.
, I have authored or sponsored
Imany legislative proposals
which have been enacted into
law during my years as a
Senator. Among them were the
Act protecting the
constitutional rights of mentally
ill persons in the District of
Columbia, the Act securing
constitutional rights to
American Indians residing on
reservations, the Criminal
Justice Act of 1964, the Law
Enforcement Assistance Act of
1965, the Bail Reform Act of
19§6, the Narcotic Addict
Rehabilitation Act of 1966, the
Military Justice Act of 1968, and
the Omnibus Crime Control and
Safe Streets Agt of 1968.
I am grateful to the officers,
members, and employees of the
Senate whose kindliness and
helpfulness have made my
service with them a happy
experience, and I am especially
indebted to the members of my
personal staff and members of
my Committee and
Subcommittee staffs who have
served me and North Carolina
with great ability and complete
devotion.
A Prophef’s
Portion
Happy New Year! To me
there is something joyous in
starting a new year. There is
also something quite religious
about it as well.
For me. the beginning of a
new year is a time of reflection
upon the past year and its
blessings and trials. It is a time
of thanksgiving to God for those
blessings and for His leadership
through the trials.
The beginning, of a new year, ts
a time of resolve as one repents
of the sins, failures, and
mistakes of the old year and
determines to follow more
closely in the steps of Christ in
the new year. A sin greater then
the making and breaking of new
resolutions is the making of no
resolutions.
The beginning of a new year is
a time of anticipation. Who, but
God, knows the hidden
blessings, challenges, and
opportunities that await in the
new year. I for one am thankful
that I am alive at the beginning
of 1974. Happy New Year!

BREAD FOR THE HUNGRY
International Sunday School
Lesson for January 6, 1974
LESSON TEXT: John 6
“What shall it profit a man
if he gain the whole world and
lose his own soul?”.
These were the words of
Jesus Christ, Savior of
mankind...and they are as
true today as they were all
those centuries ago when
they were spoken! For the
true Christian readily
recognizes that only in Christ
can our deepest needs be met
He is the “living bread” of
man’s soul, just as bread is
the “staff of life” of our
corporeal existance.
The miracle of the feeding
of the five thousand is well
known enough that we do not
have to belabor the details.
Suffice it to say that it was of
the utmost importance...as
witness the fact that all four
Gospels record it.
“1 am...the bread of life”
said Jesus; those who came
unto Him and accepted Him
as their Savior, the Son of
God descended upon men,
would never hunger, nor
would they thirst! For unlike
the manna that had been
promised and provided the
Israelites in their flight from
tyranny (promised by Moses
through the auspices of God)
Christ, accepted, had no end
in regord-teprevisions-fer-the
sustenance of mankind. It
would not have to be
physically garnered; it would
not cease when the Promised
Land was attained; it would
continue into infinity! Christ,
in fact, was speaking
figuratively to the people,
and He never claimed
otherwise.
Detractors from the Bible
tend to be literal in their
interpretation. They were in
Biblical times; they are
today and probably will be
tomorrow! But for the true
believer, within it’s pages the
Bible carries many
messages; the message of
faith; the message of hope;
the message of love...and the
message of comfort for man’s
soul. For it matters not the
circumstances of the
individuals; there are
millionaires who rejoice in
their monetary riches, but
who are impoverished
spiritually...just as there are
poor in the area of worldly
possessions who are,
nevertheless, blessed with
spiritual riches beyond
belief!
In this complex world in
which we live today, many
panaceas are sought for what
ails mankind; alcohol as a
crutch to weather heartbreak
and disappointment; drugs to
remove the user from a world
he is not able to
accept...either mentally or
emotionally.
But do they cure the
ailments of the soul? No! The
same problems exist when
their effects have worn off;
they have not disappeared
rather, they have been
compounded!
How much better to be the
servant of Christ than the
slave of addiction! How much
more constructive is the
strengthened soul, than the
debilitated one! For the
answers to the problems of
mankind is not going to be
found in a pill, or a
bottle...but in God.
In reviewing the miracle of
the feeding of the five
thousand, let us not make the
same mistake as some of
those who witnessed it! Let us
not be, awed frpjp- a
materialistic standpoint, as
were some who attended an
that occasion; let os, rather,
be awed by it’s spiritual
portent!

Plenty of cheap land for hardy pioneer families. Would you like to be
among the first to stake out a claim? Free transportation in the fastest, most
modern vehicle an added inducement. Bring your own air and water.
Not interested! That’s just as well — we’re talking about the moon.
Far more, we need earnest men and women eager to explore the earth’s
spiritual frontiers . . . people who will seek courageously for Christian answers
to the complicated problems progress has created . . . families trying to en
rich their homes and their world with faith and love.
The Church is the homestead of such pioneers. Its grasp encompasses
heaven and earth . . . from the throne of God to the depths of a little child’s
soul.
It cannot fathom the mysteries of outer space. But it will reveal to ary
man the Center of this universe.
