Fg 2 -The Perquimans Weekly, Hertford, N.C., Thursday, December 19, 1974 1 "1 . V ) t V.1 I Looking Backward DANGEROUS TOY LISTED Young Allan Harmon appears to be dreaming of all sorts of wonderful playthings for Christmas and couldn't possibly conceive that Santa might bring him a toy that could hurt him. His mother, Mrs. Becky Harmon, a student of College of The Albemarle, and the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. R.W. Kicklighter of Elizabeth City, is more concerned for the safety of her son, however, and is checking an item in "Banned Products; Toys and Other Children's Articles" at COA's Whitehurst Library. Mrs. Virginia Hewitt, librarian, shows her the document which has been compiled by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in time for use during the 1974 Christmas season. The booklet lists items by their trade names and manufacturers and gives a description of each article with the potential hazard or defect which may cause injury. The N.C, Office of Educational Resources has provided a copy for each of the 57 community colleges and technical institutes in the state, and urges all interested persons to use it at their convenience. (COA Photo) Sam Ervin Says WASHINGTON - The Senate is expected to ad journ sine die this week. I am greatly pleased that one of the landmark bills which 1 introduced in the Senate on April 11. 1973 was passed and became the Budget and Impoundment Control Act, Public Law 93 344. This Act has been hailed by many people as one of the most important pieces of legislation in the history of the country. This is because it is the first time in history that we have set up the machinery by which r . . - : 1 1 u i i vimgiess vm ue nepi conscious throughout the session of what resources it has lo appropriate and what resources it has ap propriated and is ap propriating. There is no reason after a short period of time that we cannot balance the budget and .insist that the United States pay its way as it goes along; thai is something it should have been doing for a long time as a matter of sound fiscal policy. One year ago today I decided that I should not seek reelection. I did so in spite of the fact that I believe that as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Go comment Operations, as ranking member of the Senate Judiciary and Senate Armed Services Com mittees, and as Chairman of several subcommittees of the Judiciary Committee, I could have served the people for a short period of time more effectively than at am time in the past simply because of my ex perience. At the same time, I was mindful of the storv of the By SAM ERVIN Kastern Potentate who offered a reward to anyone who could make a statement which would! be true under all circumstances. The winner of the reward stated with simplicity and truth: "This too shall pass away." So I came to the conclusion that it was not fair to the people of North Carolina for me to ask them to reelect me to the Senate to a term of office that would not expire until I was more than eighty-four years of age. I decided, and I think wisely, to step down and let a younger man take my place. I rejoice in the fact that I am going home to Morgan ton. As I contemplate retirement, I am grateful to the people of North Carolina for permitting me to serve them in the Senate for a longer period of time than that of any other North Carolineans save Senators Furnifold M. Simmons, Lee S. Overman, and Matt W. Ransom, I am grateful too lo the people because they have stood by me. I have run eight times in primaries as well as general elections for the state-wide offices of Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of North Carolina and United States Senator. On each occasion my friends have looked after my campaign and I never had to solicit a single contribution or organize a state-wide campaign organization. These were factors which I believe enabled me to serve what I always thought were' the best interests of all of the people of North Carolina.

I believe that this occurred because I was born in North Carolina and many of my people had roots in our state antedating the American Revolution. I was educated in North Carolina, and it has always been a joy for me to be associated with North Carolina people. On major issues I think that the vast majority of the people and myself were always in substantial agreement. No summary of my ser vice would be complete, however, without saying that I am mindful that I could not have carried out my duties without the aid, assistance, and daily loyalty of a devoted and excellent staff.
