SENATOR SAMERVIN * HIT * | MORGANTON - One of the i? measures which may face Congress in January Is a bill to raise the national debt cell ing by $2 billion or more. The Federal Treasury's borrowing power is bumping close to the statutory $330 billion limit which Congress set last sum mer to take care of the coun try's money problem for the fiscal year ending June 30th. The likely priority of this measure speaks pointedly about our major dilemma ? now to live with our willingness to pay. If the Treasury does make more borrowing apriority mea sure. much will be made of sta tistics that our "gross national product" is soaring to new highs that the wealth which our coun try possesses is unparailed, and that the added burden of more debt will not be great. Still this Ignores the real Issue of national discipline over our financial affairs. Borrowing more in a time of national prosperity, full employment, and record Government spend ing compounds serious fiscal problems that reliance on cre dit has swept under a much used rug. ???????? Shortly the president will present to Congress his program for 1967. Deeply In volved In all of the messages should be this question of dis ciplining ourselves to make some hard decisions on spend ing. revenues, and Treasury borrowing. The question pre sents at feast these alternatives and variations of these alterna tives. First, should the Con gress continue spending at rates beyond revenues and in cur a major dificlt that could imperil the whole economy?Se cond, should Congress spend at record levels and raise taxes to bring In more revenue?? Third,' should Congress curtail Federal spending enough to bring the budget In line with revenues under present tax rates? * In my Judgment, cuts In Fe- < deral spending represent the < soundest basis for the new bud get. Raising taxes and more ( Treasury borrowing are alter- < natives that are not In the na- t tlonal Interest at this time. The j truth Is that Congress could j make some courageous decl- t slons and cut Federal spend- < lng If It really wanted to. There ?re Federal programs that are both wasteful and unwise in their premise and their admi nistration. The foreign aid program has been criticized for years as a Program that ought to be pared down In the national Interest. At home, there are programs that could be dispensed with as not In the national Interest at this time. The importance of cutbacks In many of the foreign aid projects is that this would clear the way for a more criti cal look at domestic programs. With some validity people Jus tify their pet projects at home when they see our huge com mitments for grants and loans to fund development programs overseas. Still the argument of justification overlooks the better question; "Should not all our spending programs get a sound review before we raise taxes or permit more borrow ing?" Clearly the answer ought to be "yes'*, but It needs strong support from every citizen in our country.

Wells A group of Interested persons tried to organize a Baptist Church near the present loca tion of Woodland Methodist Church. In 1907 Mr. Hargett Kornegay gave an acre of land for this purpose, but since the church did not materialize the land reverted back to the Kor negay family. A year later. In 1908 another attempt was made and In this group of people were the fa milies of Mr. Gaston Kelly, Sr. and Mr. Preston Chestnutt. The Kelly family donate land, and Alum Springs Baptist Church was organized. Fami lies Instrumental In organizing the church were Kellys, Sum- 1 merlins, Chestnuts, Wallers, ' Kornegays, Garners aodothers. 1 The church was named for ' Alum Springs which is located 1 at Kornegays Bridge near B.F. Grady School. ] Services were held In the Red i HOI School house during the ; time the church was under con- : st ruction. Some years later a group of members of Alum Springs formed a new church. Garners Chapel. Alum Springs now looks with pride on the record her daughter church has made In Its community. The church grew and pros pered and In 1950 It was de cided to remodel the original building, at the same time add ing Sunday School rooms. Again In 1960 more space was needed and more Sunday School rooms were added. Among the pastors who have served Alum Springs are: Rev. Early, Caswell. Hollaway, Ste vens, Powers, Potts, Snarpe, Hager, Hathorn, Price, and the :hurch Is now being served by :he Rev. M. Carlisle Franks. Rev. Franks also servers Gar ners Chapel Church. Alum Springs Church has worship services at 11 o'clock each 2nd and 4th Sunday. Sunday School Is at 10 o'clock each Sunday, and mid week prayer meeting are held each Tuesday night. The church membership Is now 95 and the Sunday School en rollment Is 85. Mr. S. J. Waller Is chair man of the board of deacons. Serving with him as deacons are Emmett Kelly, Eugene Out law and Franklin Qulnn who Is also Church Clerk and treasu rer. Mr. George Kelly Is su perintendent of Sunday School. Mr. Ben Summerlln served the church as deacon for many years prior to his death, as did Mr. Herbert T. Kornegay who was clerk and treasurerfor more than thirty years. Alum Springs Baptist Church extends a warm welcome to you to join them In worship. (We express appreciation to Mr. S. J. Waller and Franklin Qulnn for this Information. a B. W.) mm mm mils By: Ruth wells This is the sesson of the year when we come to expect an un expected greeting. So we were delighted to hear from our friend, Mr. Vlrglnlus Williams, of Faison, who is vacationing south of the border down Mexico way. He makes Mexico sound especially inviting as he described the harvest of citrus fruits and cotton picking, while back home we shiver and shake in this most disagreeable wea ther. What is the saying about Mexico?" "If the dust of Mexi co falls on your heart, you will always return." well, Mr. Wil liams. don't get exposed, as we will be expecting you back in Duplin soon. ? ? ? ? I Just can't let Christmas be over and forgotten Just yet. Just a few days before Christmas joe and I went to the Campbells in BeulavQle to see their Christ mat scene. The temperature was warm, the night was calm, and as I stood before the Man ger scene, I felt that 2000 years had rolled away and that I was standing In a sacred place. The Christ Child and the Mother Mary looked so real, and the sheep and cattle nearby were happily eating hay. A crowd was milling around enjoying the Elves and their workshop, the miniature village and Santa's reindeer with tnelr little legs running, but this was a reverent crowd, and it was easy to feel the true meaning of Christmas. This was a truly wonderful scene and the Campbells, Gil bert, Clinton, James Emory, Ruby and any others that may have helped, really contributed to a wonderful scene. I hope that It was your good fortune to see b too. ? ? ? ? It does seem soooo good that traffic Is less congested at the Intersection of Hill Street and Courthouse Piece In Kenans rflle. when the Board of Edu cation moved to their new home b surely did alleviate acongest - ed area. I hear by the grape vine thai we should now enjoy the measure of safety that we have there, as there Is a pos sibility of another county agency moving in that building real soon. ? ? ? ? Don't you just Know that N ancy Stevens is having a ball in Florida? Nancy was the lucky winner of the football contest, and I believe I am correct In saying that Nancy Is the first winner to go to the game In Florida. This contest has become an annual event with this newspaper, and Is sponsored by local merchants. It has pro ven one of the most popular features of the paper. ? ? ? ? And speaking of Florida, BUI and Irene Carroll of Beulavllle told me they were going down sometime soon ana they pro mised me a crate of oranges. Well, that Is Just what I got through the mall last week. A crate of orange BUBBLE GUM, the crate was 4 Inches long and 2 Inches square. ? ? ? ? POLITICAL FORttAST^^^ ^CLIMATE J 'STORMY FAIR 1 ClJiicle Pete From 1 I Chittlin Switch ^ I V DEAR MISTER EDITOR: Ed Doolittle told the tellers at the country store Saturday night he alined to start the New Year off right and the proper way to do it was to git some facts in this country straighten ed out Zeke Grubb's preacher come In about this time and, as a gen eral rule, when the good Par son gits to a meeting ever body sets quiet and gives him the floor. But on this occasion he took a chair in the back and hol lered "Amen, Brother Doolittle, Amen!" So Ed perceeded to git the country straightened out. First off, Ed reported, he had saw where factories all over the country had departments stand ing on account of the labor short age. He claimed the Great So ciety had sewed this bug of git ting everbody college educated and now nobody was landing a job if he didn't have "technical training." He said he didn't have nothing agin education but they was plenty of people that never finished the fifth grade that could sweep the floor or push a handcart or drive a nail or a truck. He said he had saw this piece in the papers where we now got 30 million people in this country over 29 year old that aint had one year in high school. What was all these people doing, ask Ed? He said they was the new "leesure class" that ha; been created in this country v They wasn't the rich folks no more, he claimed, on account of the rich folks has to keep Jump ing to pay the taxes. It was the pore "nonworker" with his guar anteed income that was drain ing the labor force of America. The good Parson butted in to agree with Ed, said he had aw where we spent $8 billion on welfare in 1965 and it was go ing to 97 billion fer the year Just ended. They was a heap of good, healthy labor, allowed the Parson, running loose amongst the idle sitting them billions. Farthermore, said the Parson, he had saw where the last Con gress spent 9240 billion which was more than the Congress spent that financed World War n. He told the fellers he was starting out 1967 by praying ever morning fer the new Con gress to tighten up a bit on the spending. Bug Hookum said he didn't mean no disrespect to the Par son but he was of the opinion it would take more than prayers to make them Congressmen see the error of their ways, that it was going to have to be done at tbe ballot box. i Eld aid he was agreed with Bug, but he was mighty glad to have the Parson's prayers help ing out in the situation, said it , might stop little items like the 9400,000 they spent ier fire hy i drent sprinklers fer city kids i to play in. Years truly Uade Pete Where Are We Headed ? i * , As the last sheet Is torn from the calendar the pundits, 1 commentators, financial and editorial wrIters pause with pen i in hand to take a retrospective look at the year 1966. They ' will find that It was a good year in many respects. The economic | indices continued to reflect a general state of affluence that the nation has enjoyed for 20 years. The blatant evidence of 1 this affluence has bothered those who find it difficult to reconcile the tragedy that men are facing In Viet Nam with a persistent demand at home for a life oTgreater ease and comfort. The truth Is that while the output of United States Industry poured a flood of material well-being across the land, there was no stinting on military requirements. The productive capacity of this country has become so great that It can sustain a major war effort without Interrupting our peacetime lives, and judging by reports-at the end of the year,: there Is growing evidence that the conupunlst world is not a monolithic force after all. Serious as it Is, the war in Viet Nam and the threat of world-wide communism may have less of a bearing on the shaping of the American future than events that have been taking place right here at home. In the midst of prosperity, there has been a rising discontent that is difficult to explain. At a time when major industries and business leaders are devoting a large part of their energies to helping solve broad social and economic problems, a deep rooted movement Is sweeping across the country that could well undermine the private enterprise, free market economic system. uurmg lyob, extensive investigations into the motives and the performances of many basic Industries reached a new high. The maladjustments of inflation have been blamed on industry. Toward the end of this past summer, consumers turned their wrath on retail distribution. Housewives picketed stores and demanded price reductions. Simultaneously, striking unlonr r-ade a shambles of the government's wage guidelines. Wage Increases threatened to outstrip productivity Increases. All of these things promise to raise a fundamental Issue to which most citizens have given no thought. The Issue that Is being raised by the striking housewives, striking workers and investigative government bodies. Involves the question of whether or not our private enterprise, capitalis tic system, which functions on the profit motive. Is to be re tained? The growing discontent. If It runs deep enough, will result In legislative action that will alter Irrevocably the system under whlcn we have lived since the founding of the nation. Since any fair examination of the record will reveal the great benefits that have been derived from competitive capita ' llsm, we must assume that the present discontent Is based on misunderstanding - a misunderstanding that has been encouraged by Irresponsible political actions that have led to the depre ciation of the dollar. The rise of discontent among U. S. citizens, If not resolved, may well lead to the crippling of pro ductivity and the erosion of liberty, as controls are substituted for the laws of supply and demand In a free market - a market, that Is Incomparably the best In the world. Life magazine describes Its accomplishments In a few sentences: "American housewives, many of whom are engaged In supermarket boycotts to protest the high cost of food, spend an average 18.2 per cent of their families' take-home pay to buy that food. In 1960 they were spending 20 per cent and In 1947, 24.6 per cent. In France, housewives dedicate 30 per cent of their family budget to food. In Japan the rate Is 43 per cent, and In the Soviet Union - something between 50 per cent and 60 per cent." As the new year opens, we should all vow to try a little harder to understand what makes the wheels go around In the United States. That Is the biggest task we face In 1967. Only through understanding can we erase excessive discontent and mistrust. Only through understanding of bread and butter facts of our economic system can we hope to retain the good and abundant life that we have enjoyed In the past - to say nothing of freedom and our stature as a world power. Waccamaw Bank employees theoretically had a holiday Mon day January 2, in observance of New years Day, but I do ho nestly believe that was about the hardest days work some of them have put In In a long time. They were moving Into the lovely new building on Main Street Just South ofthe Court house. ? ? ? ? Either you have It, or you don't. Talent, that Is. That old unsightly building that was transformed from a Jail to a welfare office, was again transformed Thursday Into a lovely show place for a Christ mas party.

P arkcritoii | A San Francisco woman whose husband had been dead some years went to a medium. She produced the spirit of her dead husband. "My dear John," said the widow to the spirit of her dead husband, "are you happy now?" "I am very happy," John re plied. "Happier than you were on earth with me?' she asked. "Yes,' ' was the reply. "I am happier now than I was on. earth with you.' "Tell me, John, what Is It like In heaven?' "Heaven!" said John, "I'm not In heaven. This must have been quite a marriage - very much like some that you have known. If the man hadn t gone to heaven and was enjoying life more than while on earth In his home there was something wrong. And I know what was wrong. The quality of love that spends and expends Itself for the other members was lacking, in short, Christ was not at the center of the home. For when Christ comes Into a home love siapplms sus picion and petty hatreds. Someone has said that a Ch ristian home Is a colony of heaven. I like this description very much, for It Indicates that In all our relationships we represent another kingdom. We are representatives of God and God-llkeness. It would be terrible to think of our homes as colonies of hell. Yet that Is exactly what some of them are. Lucifer, the evil one, makes successful beachheads In our lives and oc cupies every part of our being that he can. Hatred, Jealousy, suspicion, selfishness and greed, a dominating spirit, 11 centuousness, and various other sins rob our homes of their Joy and power. When this happens homes become divided. Satan - called Lucifer In the Qbie ? takes over. And our homes be come colonies, not of heaven, but of hell? There Is a world of difference. Parents often forget the ste wardship they have to God by virtue of the fact that they have children. God gives life. He creates It out ot Himself. Yet He lets us share In the creation of life. By creating us male and female and making possible the marvelous and mi raculous process called birth He lends us children. They are ours - they have our features estcally, and often mentally - yet tney are not ours. We are stewards to God for the welfare of our children In the same way that we are our pos sessions. The homes that know this and practice It experience a little of heaven here on earth. 1 Yew Ago 5760 gallon still destroyed In Rose Hul area. Steve Brock victim ofhumlng accident in Wwsaw.
