to, except for trivial details, the
Carteret Racing Act. And we will
aid you in this respect in such man
ner as you see fit.
"Respectfully submitted, Car
teret County Ministers Associa
tion."
"'The resolution was forwarded ta
Solicitor Bundy, who under the
general statutes, is empowered to
bring action restraining "nuti
ances." Solicitor Bundy informed
the ministers, after receiving their
letter, that because of other work
he was unable to handle the legal
technicalities involved and suggest
ed that the ministers have an at
torney in this county do the neces
sary work.
That attorney, who asked yes
terday that his name not be re
vealed at present, U handling the
matter for the ministers.
Twenty-two ministers in the
county are members of the asso
ciation. As the vote on the resolu
tion indicated, all are not in favor
of the move being taken by the
association.
While they are against gambling
and operation of betting places,
some ministers are opposed to
their group taking formal action
on the matter.
The Rev. Leon Couch, pastor of
the First Methodist Church, More
head City, said yesterday, "While
I'd rather not see a dog tra<!k
in operation anywhere in the
world, I have learned that you can
not push and bull doze people into
doing things.
"In our church we try to perpet
uate the feeling of all groups work
ing together with no one group try
ing to get another to do something
under pressure. <We can do thq
best for ourselves and our commun
ities through generating love and
instilling Christian principals In
individuals. I believe I have
learned that little can be accom
plished through coercion.
"Christ himself never pressured
into being the things He accom
plished. Even in the temple when
he saw evil prevailing He brought
about change without raising a
hand. I am oppposed to the min
isters as a group trying to hi-Jack
this thing out of the county."
He said that there were political
elements mixed up in the move
ment and he felt that the ministers
should not be taking action that
would tend to favor one political
group over another.
A present member of the aaso
clatlon who had a charge In Cur
rituck while the fight was going
on against the track there strongly
feels that the ministers group
should not take the action it has.
He bases his opinion on the strife
and ill-feeling that resulted from
the churches participation In the
Currituck wrangle.
Mr. Jackaon said yestenfaf that
no dlscuaaion of the race track res
olution took place at this week's
monthly ministers' meeting other
than a reading of the minutes
wherein It was stated that the reso
lution was passed in April. At
thst time Mr. Couch asked that it
be clarified that he waa not la la
vor of the action being taken by the
association.
Mr. Deea could not be contacted
for comment yesterday bsc?ss be.
