Mrs. Humphrey To Study Victorian Era Ava Garrett Humphrey, I site manager of Historic I Eden ton, Inc. has received a I scholarship to attend the I first annual Victorian I Society Summer School in 1 Boston from July 9-29. The three-week seminar will concentrate mi 19th Centrry American ar chitecture, social and urban history, the decorative arts of the Victorian era and the preservation of architecture and culture of the 19th Century in America. There will be lectures by prominent scholars and populous center, it will be much more convenient for all North Carolinians to visit.” A target amount was based on the percentage of people in the county earning more than $15,000, Mrs. Vaughan said. “But it is money that will come back to us many times as our professionals on various aspects of Victorian ar chitecture and history in conjunction with tours of relevant areas and buddings in the Boston vicinity. Mrs. Humphrey was the recipient of a scholarship to the Victorian Society Summer School in London last year. It is her hope that her experiences as site Carolina Review Speight vs. Carlton... The split between state ABC Board Chairman Marvin Speight, Jr., and Crime Control Secretary Phil Carlton widened last week with reports that Alcohol Law Enforcement agents under Carlton had attended a meeting to which v they were not formally invited and secretly taped Speight’s remarks. Speight was addressing the annual meeting of the N.C. County and Muncipal ABC Law Enforcement Association at Nags Head. The subject was his recent trip to Virginia to study liquor-by-the-drink regu lations in that state. Thomas Parker, assistant ALE director, taped the remarks at an afternoon session but returned the tape to association officials after they had confronted his immediate superior, Director John Brooks, and demanded the recording. Parker maintains that the taping was done in the open (on the floor by his seat) and that the tape was to be used only as reference in developing plans for en forcement policies of ABC Board decisions. Since the meeting was hardly top-secret, Parker’s story seems feasible. But Gov. Hunt was pulled int the controversy and probably helped to further it by his statement when asked about the “secret taping.” Hunt, faced with the public’s abhorence of electronic eavesdropping since the Watergate mess, issued a strong con demnation of taping and questioned the presence of the agents. THE CHOWAN HERALD college educated chikfren find the museum one more reason to stay in Nbcth Carolina,” she added. “For when the new museum is a reality, it will be one more statistic in the quality-of-life indicators. “Not only that, it will be a full fledged museum which all of us can enjoy.” manager for Historic Edenton, the summer school last year and the Boston course will help her knowledge and un derstanding of the Victorian architecture and history of the Edenton-Chowan area. Over half the buildings surveyed by the Archives and History Survey team in Edenton are Victorian. Finally, however, after personal assurances by Carlton to the governor and the press that the incident was not that significant, the flare-up seemed over for the moment. Christian Schools Balk...At least 62 church related Christian schools have joined in yet-another confrontation with the state over what the churches believe to be more violation of their freedom of religion. The schools are refusing to pay their first-quarter unemployment insurance taxes to the state in protest over a new federal ruling that, for the first time, requires church-related schools to pay a state unemploymentinsurancetax like any other business. The school officials . maintain that their schools should receive the same tax exempt status as their churches do, because the schools are part of the churches’ ministry. Many of the same schools are already in court over failure to comply with state education guidelines. That hearing is to begin in Raleigh on July 24. More Little and Paul... Joan Little and her lawyer, Jerry Paul, were in the news again last week. Little has been indicted by a Wake County grand jury on charges of escaping from Women’s Prison in Raleigh last October. Little pleaded not guilty to the charge. She is being defended by Paul who is himself involved in court litigation with the N.C. Bar Association over charges of misconduct in his successful defense of Little during her celebrated murder trial of 1975. Patrol vs. Indians... The N.C. Highway Patrol was on the hot seat again last week concerning alleged brutality to Indians in Robeson County. Indian leaders have charged that in the past year there have been at least five incidents in which Lumbee Indians have been so severly beaten by patrolmen that they required medical treatment or hos pitlaization. Secretary of Crime Control and Public Safety Phil Carton, has agreed to meet with a committee rqpresentingjhe Indians to also re-opened the in hnituHfv inHfkiiit > • - r .

The picture is entitled “The Last Prayer.” The coliseum in Rome is packed with people. The King and Queen have just taken their places, above the hungry lions. There is a small band of Christians, of different ages, huddled in the center' of the arena, kneeling in prayer. The lions have been loosed, and are starting toward the Christians to tear them apart. Human authority is corrupted easily. When this happens, those in authority fed no responsibility to God. There have been power-mad Kings and dictators who have frequently been the worst enemies of the church. We must remember that Jesus did not live in a democratic society, and yet he did submit to government taxes. In fact, when he was bom, his parents were in Bethlehem, the {dace of their birth, to pay taxes. He encouraged the people to render unto the ruler his dues, and unto God the things that belonged to Him. —The Christians ran into real conflict under a totalitarian regime, which went on to emperor worship. Because they wished to please God, and obey Him, rather than men, many of them were imprisoned and beheaded and burned at the stake. The believer’s ultimate responsibility is to God, not to political or military power. He has a two fold responsibility, first to please and obey God, and to be able to live with his own conscience. “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord.” Roamsn 12:19. Paul,‘in writing to the Christians tells them to do good, then they will have no fear of civil authority. Even so, be was imprisoned a number to times because they commanded him not to preach, and he kept preaching and winning con verts to Christ. To be subject to civil authority does not mean one has to approve or agree with everything bis government does. In our Democratic society, we have the priviledge of openly expressing our opinion. This is a great freedom the Christian neglects. In the final analysis the debt of love summaries the Christian’s duty. Think what a transformation would take place in our country, in our worid, if we approved politics in the spirit of love. If we sought good for our neighbor, Instead of trying to out smart them, or out sell them, or lord it over them in any way, If love had the last word, the kind of love our Lord exemplified, there would be order and harmony in society. Obedience gives concrete expression to love. Closing thought: Love any load lighter.
