On another page today, The Daily Record is publish ing a Fourth of July message from the Carolina Power arid Light Company. We had planned to write an editorial to remind our readers 6f the precious heritage of liberty and to admonish that, “Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty” still. But E, N. (Red) Pope, the power company's adman, Bill Sharpe, the company’s publicist, or whoever wrote that ad* expressed our thoughts even better than we could. Sd v Instead of writing an editorial, we sfinply call your attention bft that message from the Carolina Power and light Company. We 'add to it only the hope and prayer that Ameri cans will always put their freedom ahead of everything else—that we shall continue always to fight socialism, extreme liberalism, (which is the same thing), Commun ism and any other ism or scheme that might threaten our liberty.

DUNN, N. G. These Days NATURE’S LAW Fundamentally, this nation owes ! its existence to the yearning of men for liberty of person—to the ln lienable right to life, liberty and ; the pursuit of happiness. * For 169 years, prior to the American revolution, the men and women who had come' to these \ shores from many countries. Eng land, . Scotland. Ireland, France, Germany, Sweden, Holland, Spain, Portugal and even Poland, concern ed themselves with these problems They were adherents of many dif ferent and separate religious faiths which thy wished to pursue with out hindrance. No one had to come to the North American continent because of a deep yearning to be here. Most o' the immigrants uprooted themselves from the soil of their ancestors and the traditions of centuries because their days had become filled with miseries. They had suffered reli gious, social, economic, and political persecution. They left Europe to tmd freedom. Their problems and discussions Miere not unlike those of Job and his friends who, no matter how much they rationalized the situa tion. were everlastingly faced by the same mystery: What is Man? Why is he different from. all else in Nature? What is his relation ship tq God? Job put it this way: ‘As God liveth, who has taken away my Judgment; and the Al mighty, who hath vexed my soul; All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils; My lips shall not speak wicked ness, nor my tongue utter deceit. God forbid that I should justify you: Till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me. My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: My heart shall not reprdhch me so long as I live.” When the 56 men who prepared the Declaration of Independence met to oflkisider separation fjrom Great BritMn, they fqund that fcey required not one but two state ments. TJfb second was a bill of particulars as to the political causes for the separation. This statement makes interesting read ing this year, particularly the com plaint that deals with depreciated currency. However, that bill of particulars was not sufficient for such men as Jefferson, Franklin and the Adams es. They were philosophers who could not get away from the prob lem that had been troubling their ancestors for so many generations. Mere political separation meant too little until mcftality, that is nat ural law, the revised law of God, justified not only the separation but the existence of the new state. That involved them In one of the most curious phenomena in history, for they founded a new nation not on power but on morality; not in protest but in affirmation. The first statement in the Declaration of Independence has nothing to do with whether England was right or wrong; it had to do with Man’s relationship to God. In a word, the American nation came into existence on the affirm ation that man is a creation of God and is graced with qualities that are his, at birth, as a special gift from God. Upon these words rests the American nation: ‘•When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political | bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among 1 the powers of the earth, the separ { ate and equal, station to which the j laws of Nature and of Natures' j God entitle them, a decent respect < to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separa tion. "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their crAtor with certain unalien able rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap piness—THAt to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving ' their just powers from the consent of the goveren . In these days of intellectual and moral confusion these words need motivation. A nation that has no faith in lt> own traditions has no faith in itself and will die. ; THE DULT RECORD, DUNN, N.

Marriage counselors should give consideration to this marriage as a possible trend which, should lead to happiness all around; divorce is ruled out right away. A man may, be willing to lose a wife or two, but he never wants to lose his business. . I can see great possibilities. Ugly girls should marry beauty doctors.

Probably isn’t printable, anyway. What 1 mean is that it’s aecom- : pushed less 10 date than any Con- : grass in my memory sed that goes j back to long before Mr. Truman Was a Senator, himself even. In comparison to the present set of statesman, the 80th, or Do-Nothing, j Congress was a hive of bees and 1 also a warren of industry. , This 82nd Congress hasn't even , spent any money yet. The fiscal year began four days ago and the biUions aU should have been ap propriated before then. Not one single new appropriation bill so far has passed both houses and all de partments of government at the moment are operating on emerg ency, stop-gap funds. Then there was the $16,000,000 in new taxes the President wanted ij» a hurry last January. A few months later his agents said they'd settle for *10,002,000,000. The House, after prolonged wrangling, even tual offered him $7,500,000,000. Now the Senate Is going over this bill, listening to all the witnesses that howled in pain before the House, and it's not Ukely to be passed before fall. And probably with a pood many millions more shaved off. What kind of price control law , Mr. T. will get, if any. still is in ' doubt. Numerous other important bills are strung up In committees all over the lot. I suppose I ought to be (deplor ing all this. Fact is. It suits me fine. It used to be that Congress men pased laws In a hurry, got out of Washington before the wea ilfcr even got warm, and collected 1 their wages via mail at their res pective fishing lodges. This always struck me as cheat ! ing. These babies are paid by the ; year. They've got nice, air-con ciitioned offices and plenty of free ice water. Some of ’em are feeling sorry -for themselves and Mr. Tru man is biting his fingernails, but j the longer they yammer about how !to spend the money the better j the chance for them to spend 4t, I properly. At least they’ll have a good idea what they're -doing. There’ll be no payless paydays for the Federal clerks. The world won’t come to an end because the lawgivers have been dragging their feet. And along about October or November, maybe, when the Wash ington climate is superb, they doubtless will be winding up their work. Seems fair enough to me. Maybe, because of all this delay, we taxpayers will be allowed to have a few) paltry billions. ‘ Et«*< no* Fin getting consider- 1 able satisfaction about the way the Senate is whacking away the lim ousine money for buirjaui)’E|s. Small stuff, maybe, but it pleases me. As for Saving the billions the gents have been talking about, that’s still anybody’s guess; the Senate hasn’t even gotten acound to talking about most of the big money bill 1 : Some of the gents have, how ever. done a good dealtof speech making about how they, themselves, are living on peon wages, or $12,000 a year, plus $2,500 tax-free expen se accounts, plus assorted other pleasantries. What they want now is $25,000 a year, plus tire extras. I’m agaihst ’em. Until, that is, they put in time clocks, or start grinding out laws on a piece-work basis.

Farmers will vote in a State-wide referendum November 3 to deter mine whether they favor the fee system for raising funds. The ref erendum, authorized by the 1961 General Assembly, is to be con ducted by the State Farm Bureau Federation. State Grange, and the Agricultural Foundations, Inc. President Gray describes the ref erendum as “a, brilliant device to obtain the Interest and a sense of participation" from a large propor tion of the State's population. “If our farmers support research work directly, they will have a greater interest in the results of research," the educator asserts. L. Y. Ballentine, State Commis sioner of Agriculture, estimates that the average farmer would pay about 30 cents a year under the fee plan. Retail dealers would collect the fees on feed and fertilizer at the time of sale and forward the funds to fsm& APPLIANCES AT Thomas & Warren Furniture Company Complete Home Furnishing* Fayetteville Highway rhone 2172 Dunn, N.
