(The class Is at her office at 8 p.m.). SENATOR SAM ERVIN ? SAYS * WASHINGTON - "A mood of caution" sums up the feeling of Congress as It heads toward the home stretch and prepares to go home for the fall elec tions. Agreement which pro duced a mass of new programs last year Is not as apparent as It once was. This time Congress has ta ken a less hurried approach In dealing with programs proposed to augment the "better life." Irritations over new Federal encroachments in areas once reserved for final decision by the "home folks" Is one ele ment of the mood. Tight money, lessened credit, Inflation, and all of the concerns over the conduct of the Viet Nam War bring caution over legislation for bold approaches to change the habits and lives of people who still have a reverence for making their own decisions. So guaranteed Incomes and greater controls from Washing ton are getting a second look. New poverty, health, and civil rights laws are getting more study In Congressional hear ings. A new cabinet levelTrans port at Ion Department Is under going study. Auto and highway safety measures have much ap peal but Congress wants to make sure Government regulation does not become Government oppression. The President's recommen dation for four-year House terms has received a luke warm reception in the senate. Electoral College changes have brought new hearings but no real agreement on a single plan to win Congressional approval. Wage and hour amendments that won House approval are experiencing drafting diffi culties over which new groups of employees to include and which to exclude. Farmers ex press concern over inclusion of agricultural employees and want higher price supports to make up any new labor costs added by the proposal. Mounting war costs have brought restraint on domestic spending proposals unless they fit into categories that the Ad ministration deems "must" le gislation. Still the cut-backs on domestic programs are mild, and a real effort to prune pro jects of doubtful values does not have the overall support needed to hold-the-line on Fe deral spending. The pull and tug of war and inflation appears to be the re straining factor in dealing with a multitude ot programs still on the Congressional calendar. And there is the spectre of a tax increase if Federal spend ing gets too much out of hand. and a realization that new Fe deral aids do cost money which must ultimately be met by taxes. There Is a feeling abroad In the land that pouring more Treasury dollars Into every sector of the economy does not produce the automatic results once predicted. As often as not aids breed new problems which more dollars do not rectify. So the country and the Con gress appear ready to examine panacreas a little more care fully, especially when paterna lism has its limits too. Duplin County Churches Dobson Chapel Church By: Ruth wells Dobson Chapel Church Is lo cated above six miles south east of Kenans vllle on Highway SO, and has been serving the people of the area for more than one hundred years. A few pecnle with a Chris tian out look felt the need to meet together and worship. The origin took place in the hard years of the Civil war, and at that time meeting places were few and far between. A "brush shelter" served as the meet tog place for the first four years Tnls shelter was located just ?cross the road from the pre sent church. Church letters show tills church was organized to 1864. in 1867, George S. Best, a na tive of Warsaw, came to servi the church as Its first pastor. The name of the church was adopted to the second meeting of die church body at which time delegated were elected to the Eastern Association and plans were made to ask for admis sion to the Association. Some of the church families in 1867 were Boatlcks, Teacheys, St rlcklands, Oobsons, Williams. Roachelles and Tuckers. Many of the^curnia metnbara^are da I 'ocittioni. meeting was remembered by the delegates from the church for that year. As more families came Into the church the need for more Sunday School rooms was realized. For almost a decade Rev. N. E. Gresham worked faithfully with the church and guided It Into great growth. More Sunday School rooms were added to the build ing. The rooms were completed the floors finished and ready for use. In the early hours of the morning of April 1949, the church Durned to the ground. Much sorrow was shown, but with the guiding light of God, and the late Rev. Mr. Gresham, the people of Dobson's chapel started quickly to rebuild on die same she, Sunday School and Church services were held in a small tenant house be longing to Mr. BUI KUpatrlck during the hard days of rebuild ing the church. Youns and old alike worked to rebuild the church. The peo ple combined their time and ta lents to work and replace the building In which services were held as soon as the building was "roughed In." It was a familiar sight to see dinner served by church ladles and y?ng girls, to the men folks who had gathered to put a days work on the church. 1- < t r ? t.li ? U . f: '? a' The work was completed and ready for the Association In 1952. With scores of young peo ple with Inquiring minds, the adults saw the need for a place for the young people to get to gether for fellowship and learn ing. An educational building wnlch serves this purpose was completed in 1959. February of 1966 sawthecom pletlon of an $18,000.00 parso nage, which has since been oc cupied by the Rev. Mr. E. L.

IsMtej f5*cJJwerSf V Sanford Cites States Role In Poverty War In an article published this week in the Duke Law School's "Law and Contemporary Pro blems" quarterly, former North Carolina Governor Terry Sanford called on state govern ments to redefine and revitalize their role In the war on po verty. He said there seems to be less and less definition of the part the states should play, and an increasing fuzzl ness In the relationships be tween all levels of government In this program. He maintains this fuzzlness can only be harmful because the states are already Involved In the problems of poverty th rough their welfare, education, health, employment and other services, and to neglect them would be a serious waste of vital resources. The article is one in a ser ies of reports on state govern ment from the "Study ofAmerl can states" Sanford is conduct ing, with grants from the Ford Foundation and Carnegie Cor poration, at Duke University. Sanford said the war on po verty had been slow in coming and that effective action has of ten been hampered by a number of myths we all shared about our economy, our society and ourselves. The first myth Is the faith . "that our economic system will eventually overcome the ob stacles we face. There ar some obstacles our system alone will not overcome, Sanford said. "Increased opportunities do not help those who are unable to take advantage of them." , The Second is the Horatio Alger ntyth ? "This means," 1 Sanford said, "that poverty and unemployment are a result of choice, not a condition of so ciety - - a manifestation c ' laziness, not economic isola- 1 tlon," He said the depression 1 seriously Jolted this belief when ? it left millions of Americans jobless through no tault ot their I own. The third is the status quo 1 myth ? things are fine as I they are and we only need ml- I nor adjustments in some pro- " grams to reach the few people who need help. On the contra- i ry Sanford said, the fact that I government has not been flexi ble and alert to change has only added to the problems. The fourth myth revolves around "the ready tendency of Americans to believe that mo ney will solve all our pro blems. Too often the initial governmental action has been a reflex to a symptom rather than a thoughtful response to the actual problem..." without the necessary planning through which we can anticipate crisis and act effectively. Sanford outlined four speci fic types of activity in the po verty program for which the states are uniquely suited. First a state agency should help interested communities and agencies understand the sometimes mystifying federal 1 procedures and pronslons so they may apply for anti-poverty j frants. Second, the agency hould stimulate action from the 1 local governments and agen cies, ana iaKC trie initiative in _ getting state-wide efforts under way, not Just wait to be called f on. [[ Third, the state must coor-1] dlnate all the programs which focus on local governments' anti-poverty efforts. Meaning ful coordination hasn't occurred ) at the federal level, Sanford ( said, and communities don't ) have the personnel or resour- Y ces to do the Job. since the state grants authority for all programs, and administers ma ny of them, the states, and par ticularly the governors, are in the best position to achieve coordination between them. Fourth, the states need to begin long range planning and setting of priorities In the de velopment of the various pro grams, Sanford said. "Pro blems need definition and pin pointing...trends need tobedls cerned. ..ptogramj llkeAppala diia mus| M meshed with the poverty program goals and means to these goals must be set...(and) priorities and timing of ^ activity should be suggest Sanford said; "If the states ca n help abolish poverty in America, they will have contri buted to a more civilized na tion. And by fueling the light of hope lor millions ot Ame ricans, they canglveflbertothe American dream and set a new course for themselves as ac tive partners In a revitalized federal system." ^?l?ALENDAR OF Philip A. Fleger, chairman of the board and president of the Duquesne Light Company says, '"...that government oftnepeo ple, by the people, for the peo ple, snail not perish from this earth' has greater significance today than every before, just as we resist foreign sources that would destroy our freedom, we must also resist the apathy which would cause It to crum ble from within....." William Howard Taft said; "To obey the law Is to support democracy, if every man thinks every law must suit him In order that he shall obey It, he does not support democracy but destroys It. The basis of good government lies In the fact that the people are willing to obey the law as they have determined It to be." From Our Readers JUly 7.1966 Route 2 Seven Springs, N. C.

First off, Ed Doolittle allow ed as how the Guverament was starting a new fiskal year and he had brung along a few Ag gers fer the fellers to chew on. Incidental, Ed is fetching more and more newspaper clip pings to the Saturday night ses sions and the feller that runs the store reported he was going to git Ed one of them brief cas es like the city folks carries and give it to him fer Christ mas. Anyhow, Ed reported the fis kal vear ended in bad shape fer the Guverament The Congress, he announced, had raised the public debt limit to $332 billion to take care of our shorts and that we was short in about all departments. Ed explained we got a item called the Gross Na tional Product that was the to tal amount of everthing bought and sold in the country and that the long-time plan fer a balanc ed budget in the Great Society was fer the Internal Revenue Service to collect in taxes the same amount as the Gross Na tional Product. He claimed they wasn't no other way to ever bal ance the budget unless they quit spending so much money in Washington. Clem Webster was defending the Great Society, allowed as bow wages was going up and up ind ever body was paying more uid more taxes bat was still al loying great prosperity. But the storekeeper allowed is bow the prices of things was going up faster than wages and we was headed fer inflation and bust. He said the White House raised the roof when steel went jp $2.90 a ton but be had done 10me figgering by the pound ind in the last 12 months the wholesale price of bacon had gone up $500 a ton and pork rhops had gone up $1,100 a ton ind the White House aint done rothing about it. But Clem still claimed folks rouldn't be hurting much in a rountry where they spend more >n tobacco that's bad fer the health than they do fer hospital rare, and more at beauty par ors than fer doctor bills. This whole thing is too com ilicated fer me, Mister Editor, but it looks like we was starting rat the new fiskal year with the juvernment having us hooked, [t makes me recollect the story ibout the preacher that was -aising funds to burn the church nortgage. He told everbody in he congregation that would con ribute $20 to please stand up. [hen he turned to the church irganist and ask her to please >lay the Star Spangled Banner. TifT" ~z| Minister's 9 Desk (( By : I). E. I* it rkrrsoiAl V\ nrsaw (I A small boy had been nau ghty and had been reprimanded. His mother told him he must get a whipping. He fled upstairs and hid In a far corner un der a bed In his room. When the father came home, the mo ther told him what had hap pened. He went upstairs and proceeded to crawl under the bed toward the youngster, who was still In hiding. Exicltedly the boy whispered, "Hello, Pop, Is she after you too?" Sometimes things get pretty ~ strained around the house. Dlf ferences creep In between the members of the family. Dls S;reemems crop up that are vlslve in nature. When this happens the home tends to go to pieces and individual mem bers have to go hide under some bed of protection. Many things divide a home and rob It of Its spiritual sig nificance ? envy, jealousy, CI, selfishness, etc. But per the greatest sbi that can be created In the home and the greatest crime that can be per petrated against It Is not to love. When two young people get married and found a home they usually bring a great deal determination to It to continue In the attitude of love. The bride, swept off her feet and carried away on a cloud of love , little realizes that love cm be allowed to dissipate. ?fhe'Wbom. who has Wonty for nils beautiful bride, often falls to see that grave respon sibilities lie just around the corner. Adjustments have to be made, and In a hurry. When they are not made the cloud of love suddenly disappears and dark ominous clouds of trouble ap pear on the horizon. What about your home? Do you have enough love there to en able victory over problems and burdens? Are you willing to love at all costs? The New Testament describes the hi ghest type of love as being willing to love even when 1 Is hard to love, being willing to love not for our own bene fit but for die benefit of others. A home needs this kind of love. If It has it, It can be a colonv of heaven. If It does not It cm be hell Itself. What Is home? it Is a world of strife shut out?a world of love shut in. it Is the only spot on earth where faults and fall ins of fallen humanity are hid den under the mantle of cha rlry. It Is thefather's kingdom, the children's paradise, the mo ther's world. It Is the place where you are treated the best and grumble the most.
