page FOURTEEN Farmers Advised To Plan For Labor Needs U. S. Farm Workers De cline 2,000,00 In Past 15 Years Tar Heel fanners can help avoid local labor problems by planning for frtwir labor needs ahead of time and letting their local State Employment Service office know what types and how much labor they will need for any particular period. This is the suggestion of C. W. Overman, County Agent, who also cites good housing, continuous em ployment and other attractive employ ment conditions as important factors in attracting good farm labor. Will ingness on the part of farmers to - employ and train inexperienced work ers will also ease recruitment prob lems, Mr. Overman adds. Prospective farm workers them selves can help, too, Mr. Overman em phasizes by registering with the lo cal State Employment Service and being specific about the periods dur ing which they expect to be avail able for farm employment. Workers should keep in constant touch with the local employment office for guid ance in finding work and locating areas where help is needed, he Says. Mr. Overman pointed out that the number of farm workers in the Unit ed States has declined by nearly 2,- 000,000 in the past 15 years (aceorl ing to the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, U. S. Department of Agri culture). Yet, despite this fact, total farm output in 1952 was 44 per cent more than in 1935-39 average. Weekly Devotional I Column By James Mackenzie Someone has said there are four things you may do with your life. First, you may run away from life. When a problem comes along that presents a challenge, you may back down, retreat. Emerson has said that each of us must choose between truth and comfort. The man who runs away from life, from its problems, its chal lenges, prefers comfort to truth, and he is a coward. (2) But some of you may say, “No, I’ll not run away from life; I’ll just run along with it.” The vast ma jority of folk choose this course. This is the “when in Rome, do as the Ro mans do,” attitude. If you do this, you desire more the applause of your fellow men than the approval of God, and of your own conscience. !Dr. Har ry Ironnide, when a boy, turned a deaf ear to his mother's plea that he become a Christian, saying, “Mother, if I become a Christian, all the other boys will laugh at me.” “Remember, Harry,” she answered, “they may laugh you into hell, but they can never laugh you out of it. i (3) There are some who cherish higher motives than these; they seek to dedicate their lives to some great cause.

The V-2 claimed many lives and did untold property damage as shown in this picture of a residential section in Antwerp, Belgium. ‘ and a young German soldier lying there wounded, near death, soon to cross the threshhold of eternity. A G. I. who spoke German, seeking to comfort the last, few, fleeting mom ents he was to spend on earth, asked him, “Wie heissen Sie?” The boy answered, “Karl.” ‘«Wie alt?" “iFunfzehn.” Do you know how old he was? Fifteen! Just think of that, only fifteen years old. Why, a boy of fifteen shouldn’t be subjected to anything more ferocious than a jilted girl friend, and there he lay, poor kid, on an alien soil, dying. (And as he lay there in the snow, the Ameri can soldier said to the lad, “When the war has come to an end, Karl, I’m going to visit your home town, and I’ll look up your parents, and tell them they would have been proud of you could they have sees: you in your last hour. I’ll tell them, Karl, and I’ll tell them truthfully, that you died like a man.” And Karl bit his lip, but he could not keep from crying, for he realized he hald thrown away his precious young life for a lost and hopeless cause, and when he closed his eyes that wintry afternoon not too many years ago, he closed them never . to open them again on his beloved : homeland. “Some of you may say, “Well, I’m i giving my life to a cause far more ■ worthy than Nazism.” That may be ■ so, but whatever cause that is, it is 1 a lost cause, a temporary cause, a hopeless cause, unless you (4) dedi , cate it to the cause of Christ. “Other ; foundation can no man lay than that . is laid,” says the Bible, “which is ; Jesus Christ.” Paul of Tarsus, who . wrote these words, has left us his , clear, ringing testimony, “For .to me • to live is Christ.” , What is your decision? Will you . run away from life? Will you run l along with it? Do you choose to > dedicate your life to some fleeting , cause? Or will you now present your • life to the only One who can make , something of it, Jesus Christ r O Jesus, Lord and Saviour, i I give my life to thee; For thou in thy atonement i Didst give thy life for me. c I own no other Master, t My heart shall be thy throne; f My life I give, henceforth to live, , O Christ for thee alone.
