"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.

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 District Attorney Bollard’s Bridge Revival Services Begia March 21 Revival services will be conducted at Ballard’s Bridge Baptist Church, March 21-26. Rev.

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.
