?lid-Quarter Seminar *
s Held At College
The office of student teaching
at Appalachian State Teacher*
coUege held iti mid-quarter semi
nar this week for its off -campus
student teachers. The director
and coordinator of the seminar
?ii Ben Horton, director of stud
ent teaching at ASTC, who was
assisted by P^il N. Clem, direc
tor of off-campus student teach
ing, and Miss Isabel Jones, off
campus supervisor.
Stimulator for the group meet
at the beginning of the semi
nar 1 was Carl Li taker, former
high prhool principal and now a
Eradiate student at Appalachian.
In His talk he brought out the
points that "You may feel you
aje the wrong person"; "you maj>
?not get across what you want to";
"you may get the wrong answer";
and "but there is a bright side
J you look for it"
The aim of the seminar was to
expose some of the problems that
are being encountered by the
student teachers; to coordinate
pre-student teaching experiences
with classroom experiences and
bring theory and practice closer
together; to stimulate profession
al effort on the part of the regu
lar college student; and to evalu
ate and appraise the student
teaching program.
Participating, were all atudent
teachers, faculty .members, con
sultants for each department re
presented, and approximately
one hundred additional college
students who were members of
pertain Education classes.
Among the group of students
who attended the meeting were
those who will be assigned to do
student teaching in the very near
future.
It is believed by the colliege
administration that meetings and
discussions of this type not only
will be of great help to the stud
ent teachers who are now in their
classroom assignments, but that
much will be gained by students
who will do student teaching
later, and by faculty members
and department heads who are
directing their training and pre
paration.
Appalachian State Teachers
college holds one of these semi
nars midway of each quarter dur
ing the regular year.
Burley Listing Sheets
Available ToFarmers
The 1954 burley tobacco luting
sheets are now in the hands of
the County Agricultural Stabili
zation and Conservation commit
tee. Allotment notices are being
prepared and will be mailed In
the near future. No allotment no
tices will be mailed for any, farm
for which a 1953 marketing card
has not been returned. After al
lotment notices have been receiv
ed application for combination
and divisions of farms may be
filed.
An declared by the Secretary
of Agriculture a reduction of 8.35
per cent was made on all farms
with allotments of 0.8 acre and
over. This has resulted in all al
lotments from 0.8 to 1.7 acre be
jng reduced 0.1; and 1.8 acres
[to 2.9 acres being reduced 0.2; and
B.O acres to 4.1 acre being reduced
0.3. The 1954 marketing quota
further provides that no allotment
may exceed 25- per cent of the
Cropland established for th* farm
LUNG CANCER
Tests to determine if tobacco
tars can produce lung cancer in
nice have been started by the
United States Public Health Ser
vice. The Veterans Administra
tion also in another long-range
study, is sending questionnaires
lo 300,000 World War veterans to
discover, if possible, if there is
iny connection between the use
)t tobacco or snuff and the de
velopment of lung cancer.
Industry outlines a drive to
'sell" prosperity.
for 1954, but that no reduction
may exceed 0.1. This has resulted
in a reduction of 0.1 acre on a
few farms below the minimum
acreage. With the exception of
this provision no allotment of 0.7
or less was reduced.
Premeasurement for burley to
bacco will be offered to Watauga
county farmers, the entire cost
to be paid by the farmer. Re
quests forj>remeasurement should
be filed with the county ASC
committee.

Thirty-Nine Years Ago
Elk Park had another blaze
last week. This -time, the Avery
Hotel, owned by. Mrs. Rose, going
up in smoke. We are told that the
property was insured to the
amount of $1,800, which makes
the loss light, if any there be.
A road law for Watauga has
been formulated and gone for
ward to our Representative in
the Legislature and we hope it
will become a law, as it is emin
ently fair, and we must have
some legislation along this line if
we ever expect to keep step with
our sister counties ... The docu
ment is voluminous but in our
next issue we will publish at
least that part of the bill which is
an amendment to the old law.
The usual Saturday program

DOES EVERY PERSON HAVE A
RIGHT TO HIS OWN BELIEF?
It is often laid that a person has a right to his own belief.
If the Bible teaches this, every one -ought to teach it. If the
Bible does not so teach, then no one should teach it Being a
question of religion, it must be settled by the Bible. No ques
tion is settled unless it is settled right. No religious question
is settled unless it is properly answered in the light of the
scriptures.' .
Scripturally speaking, we do not have a right to believe
anything religiously except the truth revealed in the Bible (2
Thes. 2: 12, 13). Jesus said, "And ye shall know the truth and
the truth shall make you free" (Jno. 8: 32). The truth must not
only be loved and learned, but it must also be obeyed (1 Pet.
1: 22).
Abel offered his sacrifice by faith (Heb. 11: 4). Faith comes
by hearing the word of God (Ram. 10: 17). Therefore, God
taught Abel the kind bf skcrifice to offer. God is no respector *
of person (Acts 10: 34, 33). Hence, Cain received the same
instructions as Abel. He worshiped by opinion, according to his
own idea ? God refused his worship. Abel worshiped by faith
as God commanded. Therefore, God accepted Abel's sacrifice
and rejected Cain's.
In 2 Kings 5: 1-14, the healing of Naaman, the leper, is re
corded. Naaman wanted to follow his own ideas instead of the
prophet of God, but he could not be healed ot his leprosy. Ha
wanted to select his own Hver in which to dip, but he did not
have a right even to do that. He had to either obey God's
command or remain a leper. He had no right to his own be
lief. The power was not in the water, but with God.
Today, Jesus says: "He that believeth and is baptized shall
be saved (Mk. 16r 16). Many go away in a rage, as did Naa
man, and will not obey and be saved. The saving power is
not in the water alone, but in the blood of Christ. Yet. a
sinner can no more be saved without baptism than Naaman
could have been cleansed of his leprosy without dipping him
self. Man has no right to set his own terms of pardon He
must obey the Lord's commands.
Christ has the right to our belief. He now has all author
ity (Matt 28: 18). We must believe and obey Him in order
to be saved (Heb. 5: 9). If every person has a right to his own
belief, then the will of God is ruled out, and the terms of
pardon as laid down by Christ can be ignored. If this was
possible, it would make man his own savior.
In the days of the apostles and the early church, the one
we read about in the New Testament, there was one uniform
plan of salvation. All of the apostles and their co-laborers
preached the same message. All of their converts believed
and obeyed the same gospel. They were all added to the same
church (Acts 2: 47). This is the way the Lord wants it done
today ? that we might all be one (Jno. 17 : 20- 22).
