"Fair Trade"
Laws Dropped
From Books
On March 10, a new law
went into affect that could
benefit Tar Heel consumers.
The new law got rid of
“fair trade” laws, those
price fixing schemes that
until March 10 existed in 21
states, including North
Carolina.
As a result Tar Heel
shoppers may find lower
pricetags on may items,
including television sets,
clubs, auto parts and
accessories, toys, drugs,
house furnishings, cosmetics
and clothing.
In the past, fair-trade
merchandise was not
discounted and was rarely
put on sale, explains Dr.
Justine Rozier, extension
family resource
management specialist,
North Carolina University.
The pricetag was affixed by
the manufacturer rather
than by the store.
All that went out the
window March 10 when the
“fair trade” laws became a
thing of the past.

THE CHOWAN HERALD
Traffic fatality
Recoril Loaded
(Editor’S' Note: The
following letter was sent to
the State Highway Patrol,
Edenton Police Department
and Chowan County
Sheriff’s Department.)
Gentlemen:
From information
supplied to me by the
Traffic Record Section,
State Division of Motor
Vehicles, I noted that
Chowan County was one of
only two counties within the
state which did not sustain a
fatal traffic accident during
calendar year 1975. This is,
indeed, a noteworthy
accomplishment!
Although my opinion may
be somewhat biased
because of my close
association with your
agencies, I believe that
substantial credit for this no
fatality year can be directly
attributed to the diligence of
the officers under your
respective commands.
It seems that law officers
are more often subject to
criticism and abuse than to
praise and commendation;
however, as one citizen who
travels the highways of
Chowan County with some
frequency, I will,appreciate
your expressing my
heartiest congratulations to
your men for a job well done
in 1975.
With best personal
regards to each of you, I am,
Yours very truly,
Thomas S. Watts

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
AN INDICTMENT OK HYPOCRISY
International Sunday School Lesson for March 21, 1976
Scripture: Matthew 23:27-39
By Mrs. Jesse Waller
Anyone who has felt the touch of Christ abhors hypocrisy,
because Christ Himself istruth. When Jesus lived here upon
this earth. His words and deeds were one. He didn’t preach
one way, and live another. Not so, with the scribes and
Pharisees. They performed outward acts of religion, but in
wardly they were murderers and rotten at heart.
Jesus painted a very graphic indictment of their hypocrisy
and iniquity. The conflict, during passion week had come to
a head. He had little time left to point the way for those who
would listen. Their strictness of keeping the law was only
a show to hide what was in their hearts.
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you
are like white-washed tombs, which outwardly appear beau
tiful, but within they are full of dead men’s bones and all
uncleanness.” Matthew 23:27. Jesus was not using fancy
language here. During the passover week, when pilgrims
flocked to the Holy City, Jerusalem, for the feast, these
tombs all along the way were whitewashed. This was to
[revent anyone from stumbling or brushing against a tomb,
making them unclean for the feast. This would have caused
them to be shut out of the feast. The/tombs stoodout in the
sun, and seemed beautiful, although inside they were full of
dead bones and decay.
Often as we visit in parishioner’s homes, we hear how
active they have been in the past, but sometimes there is
no sign of the spiritual life and growth in the present. Re
cently we were visiting in a home where the couple was too
feeble to attend church. However, there was a worn Bible
on the table that gave silent evidence of it’s use. It was
worn and faded and held many precious markings and clip
pings. On top of it was an Upper Room devotional book
opened to the current date. That Bible gave witness that
their spirtual lives were alive and well.
Jesus persisted in His indictment of hypocrisy. He caused
the Jews to look at the past, how they were charged with
killing the prophets. They tried to act innocent. No one
likes to be Mamed for sins of the past, hut here they were
ready to kill another prophet, even Jesus, the Son of God.
Jesus reminded them that from the time of Abel to the time
, of Zechariah they had killed the prophets. In the hardness.
j of their hearts, they would not stop after Jesus’ death, but
the death of the martyrs followed. Today in many parts of
the world, Christians are tracked down aid put to death.
The only cure for hypocrisy is repentance. Jesus’ last ap
peal then, and now is, His patience and love. He wept over
Jerusalem, and said “how often would I have gathered your
children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her
wing, and you would not.” Matthew: 23:37.
Prayer: Jesus stand among us in thy risen power. Amen.
