PACE 4 THE DUPLIN TIMES-PROGRESS SENTINEL, MARCH 2 the Minister s Desk . (Rid I ever read. Si con ever heard. The letter, obvi I seen this outfit which they alnt never hot a dime's worth of oothin from us md I sole them a couple hundred thane and dollars worth of guds. I am goig to Chswgo." Two days later, a second letter arrived at the home of fice: "Dear Boss, I cum hear md I sole them halfe a mllyon," it said... Both letters were posted on the bulletin board where all die other .salesmen might easily see them. There was an ap pended note from the company president which read: . "We been spending* to much I time round hear trying to spel I insted of trying to sel. Let's I watch these letters from Gooch who is on the rode doing agrwe I job for us, and you go out and I do like he done.*' I think you would agree with me that this U a rather unlqee story. It perhaps ignores more thai it should the value of ade quate training in preparation for the doing of a good Job. Yet. it stresses one very vital ingredient always necessary to success in any venture: "get up and go." The saleaman believed in his products and he *>perect ly related them to the needs of his customers. He showed them how they needed what he had to offer. And he didnt wait for them to come to him. He went after them - with a passion. Success resulted. The salesman in our story had another fine trait-he talked about what he had already done, not about what he was going to do at some unknown time in the future. A favorite statement in my home town was, "Do it. and then talk about it." Too often, in the church, we talk about it, and we talk about it, and we talk about it some more ? and then we do not do it. F all ure comes in our work by fol lowing the line of least per sistence. We must do more than know tocall aspade aspade - we must learn how to dig with one. What are vour goals in life? Are vou trying to reach them? How? Could it be that you feel B.M* nilicle Pete From 1 I Chittlin Switch j DEAR MBim EDITOR: by U? country store Saturday night and reported to the fellers that, all la all, he had a pritty good week. First off, he said be had gone by the poet office Friday morning and had wrote a couple post cards and they didn't charge him nothing for using their ballpoint pen. Ed DooHttle allowed as how this was a oversight on the part of the Congress when they hik ed postal rates. He flggered they would git around to a small fee fer using them pens and maybe put a small entrance and exit fee fer using the front door. The good Parson also report ed he had got by without being that you do not have what it takes to succeed? Nonsense! If you are a square peg and you find that life has provided you with a round hole, start whittling. He who hesitates on life's highway In today's world gets bumped. sued and in this day and time when everbody was going law suit craxy he had to give thanks to the Lord far his absence in court. Even some preachers, he said, was fitting into the lawsuit business. He reported he had saw where a preacher in Inglewood, California, was suing his con gregation fer bade pay. This preacher told the Judge they had promised him 1800 a month salary, a home and a gasoline credit card, but had cut him down to $80 a month and took away his card. The piece didn't , say, reported the Parson, how , the lawsuit come out. Clem Webster -vas guessing , the preacher would lose, said a 1 feller making $800 a month be- 1 longed on Wall Street and not 1 in the pulpit Farthemore, said j Clem, they was a chanct the con- | gregation would claim his ser- l mons was gitting too pore fer ] that kind of money. < The Parson was of the opinion ] the courts was gitting tired of all theae lawsuits, said he had Judge told him to pull down the ?hades and git hlsaelf a good nlghfr sleep in the daytime. Ed said tile whole situation boiled down to the fact we was gitting too many lawyers in the country. Everthtag now had to be wrote down in contracts and the fine print was gitting so small a feller past 80 couldn't read it without a magnifying glass and the magnifying glass makers was arising up to the sit uation and hiking the prices to keep pace with the contracts The Parson told the fellers he had took note in reading his tory that things had a way of twinging too fur one way and would eventual end up swinging all the way to the other end. Personal, Mister Editor, I was ?greed with the Parson. The red tape wheel has got to unravel in he end. I won't live to see it >ut the day is coming when the ncome tax form won't have wt two lines.

J WASHINGTON - After ex tende d debate the Senate has passed the so-called "Civil Rights" bill for 1968. Some have asked: "Whagood was accom plished by me long debate?" In my view, the debate did much good. It called attention to the freedoms to be lost un der this drastic bill and it examined the constitutional in validity of many of its provi sions. When the battle was over, It showed anew that fhere are stltution the Federal Govern ment has no power to regulate the titles to real estate or to rob supposedly free Americans t)f their rights to control, use, and dispose of private property according to their own desires. Many times during the debate, attempted to point out con ititutlonal and practical ob lections to the so-called open xcupancy proposal and to other >rovisions of the bill. The out come of the bill and many of its provisions were decided by close margins. One crucial test was decided by a single vote. In the end, while me main bat tle was lost, some of the bill's provisions were rendered less obnoxious. For example, the Mondale open occupancy substitute con stituted as rank a prostitution of the Judicial process as has ever been put forward in mis Nation. It provided that the Secretary of Housing aid Ur ban Development was to be charged with the responsibility for enforcing the provisions of that proposd. It provided mat the same Secretary, or his de signee, was to receive housing complaints from others ana prefer complaints on his own, and would act as the omnipo tent prosecuting attorney, Jury, and Judge. In the final version of the bill, my opposition to mis pro cedure brought about a change to permit Impartial Judicial en forcement of the so-called open occupancy proposal. Enforce ment would be vested in the United States District Courts Duplin Timec Prog mi Sentinel Pabliehed Weekly ky Progress Sentinel, Inc. Kenmivtlie. N.

It should be pointed out, too, that during the course of the de bate the Senate adopted an amendment which exempts own er occupant sales and rentals of single family dwellings from the provisions of the bill. Moreover, I was able to win Senate passage of my amend ment to extend constitution al rights ,40. the reservation American Indian, a mfeasiire that I have been fighting for over a long period of time. My amendment grants reservation Indian basic constitutional rights which other Americans have come to take for grimed. These are the rights of Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, trial by jury, right of counsel, and freedom from excessive fines and cruel and unusual punishments. Another worthwhile amend ment which I put into the bill will protect the rights of law enforcement officers. National Guardsmen, and Regular Army personnel who are engaged in preserving law and oraer in riot tbrn areas. Strange as it may seem, as origin ally written the so-called "Civil Rights" bill could have deterred law en forcement by authorizing cri minal penalties to be used against those engaged In con trolling riots. My amendment removes this possibility. The debate also secured pas sage of several anti-riot amendments to protect small businessmen from looting and rioting and to make it a federal FAMED BY HANGING H U You don't have to be a politi cian or a first family to have a place named for you in North Carolina. A man named Mica- \ jah in the west is remembered for his hanging at that spot-it's called Cajah's Moun tain. Calabash, the place serving fine seafood, was so named because of the gourds that were so plentiful there. Calabash also had a previous name, Pea Landing. Calvander in Orange County is a merger of the two names of Calvin Andrews, master of Andrews' Academy. The poet office there was called Fau-. cette, for his wife, Elizabeth Faucette. Iron Duff in Haywood County was named for a man whose name was mispronounced. V Aaron MacDuff first settled ' ped from MacDuff. Caaar in Lincoln County is a mispronun ciation of Caesar. Two North Carolina towns are named Democrat, one in Buncombe, the other i n Madison County. In Pamlico County, the com munity of Jones Bay was the outlet for shipment of large production of Irish potatoes to Hoboken. New Jersey. But the new name was not precisely as pronounced in New Jersey. The Tar Heel town is named Hobucken. | ? , 1 crime to travel In interstate commerce with the intention of ? Inciting riots.
