S is through this series of bills that funds are provided to oper- die Federal Departments and Bureaus and the thousands of activities in which our national government is involved. Last tYcek, a bill which was a forerun ner of things to come reached tjie Floor of the House. Although il carried a large sum of money, the bill also contained some far reaching consequences that set ground rules about future .spend ing in the nation’s capital.

Special reading with this Ati- 5r22fir12 now and the end of June this^ year. Supplemental bills of this, kind are usual and, in post years, | they have often caused consider-! able disagreement. Tht; accusa-j tion is sometimes made that Con gress cuts its regular appropria tions bills only to turn around several months later to restore the money through supplemental appropriations legislation. This charge is not always justified, but there has h«m enough truth in it to cause me to vote Against many of the supplemental money! bills in the last seven years. I did not feel, however, that this was the case in last week’s legis-j lafion. i A total of $3.7 billion in addi-| tional funds for this year was| approved. Even though this is a large mount, it is a reduction of 13'/< from the already pared] down budget request. Funds forj virtujilly every Federal agency] are involved in this bill.

A. B. Bumgarner, pastor of the Spenedr Baptist Church of Spindale and Sunday afternoon by Dr. Ben Fisher, exe cutive director of the Council on Christian Higher Education for the Baptist State Convention of N. C. Dr. Fisher delivered a naddress on ‘”1110 Problem of Values” and began it‘by stating that this is an era when, "one knows the price of everything but the value of nothittg.” Dr. Fisher said, "Had we listen ed to the’ prophets we might not find ourselves embroiled in many of the contemporary problems in this distressed culture.” He went on to report the famous General Education in a Free Society made at Harvard University 20 years ago and edited by Dr. Conant. The report, in part, said that American Higher Education until that time had sought its unity in a scientific, pragmatic, detached and empirical methodology. It went on to say that there is a tendency in this type of thought to omit as irrevalent the whole realm of belief an dcommitment by which, to all appearances, much human activity seems sway ed. It was Dr. Fisher's opinion that, “Until man can discover a point of reference outside him self he is not likely to escape the abyss of relativism into which he plunges deeper and deeper. The idea that there is nothing really right or nothing really wrong is the final step in man’s swift flight from God." From this point he went into the question of civil order and justice under la'W. He asked, “Can an institution which by its very nature is guided by intelligence and reason tolerate the substitu tion of violence for the power of persuasion, or permit anarchy under the guise of dissent or civil disobedience?” He said, “If young people are dissatisfied with what they be lieve to be a hyprocritical value system of the elders, this does not relieve them in the least of a Wood ChUd's Rites Conducted Funeral rites for Steven Eric^ Wood, five-year-old son of Mr.: and .Mrs. John D.
