Farmers Urged To
"Reporters” Hired to

- The fact that the state allotment

ilfjefvased considerably over last

says that 3,600, “report
ars” have already been hired and
tnined *>y local ASC county of
fibes. They will visit every farm in
ike state and every field on the
farm to determine acreage planted
to allotment crops, thus virtually
ehminating the possibility of over
planting a peanut allotment and
eeoaping the prescribed penalty.
Another reason why farmers
Should carefully stay within their
peanut allotment is the fact that
peanuts of this type are the only
Mnutiodity not in over-supply, God
frey adds. He explains that with
price support available in 1966 at
jftper cent of parity, prospects are
good for this year’s crop. Prices
wore favorable last year because of
a shortage. With allotments in
creased in 1956 and with favorable
weather conditions, the supply sit
uation can be changed very quick
ly and as the supply changes, pro
ducers can expect a change in
price. **
This change in price will make
price support eligibility even more
important to the producer, he con
cludes.

WASHINGTON REPORT
» ' I
Retirement. Last week Sen. W. I
Kerr Scott, along with several oth- e
er Senators, sponsored legislation
that would increase retirement pay-
ments to former Federal employees
who are now on the retirement
rolls. ‘
The legislation grew out of hear- f
ings that Senator Scott held on *
Senate Bill No. 2875, which would r
increase retirement benefits for
Federal employees. j
According to Scott, S. 2875, {
“would help people who are now <
Federal employees when they get <
ready to retire. It was very ob- <
vious that any overall increase j
should also assist former employ- j
ees who are now retired.” <
<
Benefits. The new measure •
would increase annuities to former
employees now on retirement by ,
not less than SIOO a year and not ■
more than S3OO. 1
For survivors of former employ- ,
ees—except surviving children —the ;
annuities would be increased SBO.
For surviving children, the an
nuities would be increased by SSO
for each child.
Final Senate action on both re
tirement bills is expected in the
next few weeks. ,

Column
By JAMBS MacKKNZIE \
A few hours before I sat down
to compose this column I received
through the mail from a second
hand 'book store a set of very old
and very rare volumes embracing
the minutes of the General Assem
bly of the Presbyterian Church in
the United States from its organi
zation in 1789 until 1843. The
volumes trace, in a statistical way,
a trail of zeal and self-sacrifice al
most unknown among ministers of.
today (one young pastor served a
circuit of churches over seven
hundred miles long). Nor were
these the “good old days” of Evan
gelical Christianity and piety we
often think they were: There is
constant reference to the prevail
ing sins of drunkenness, profani
ty and desecration of the Lord’s
Day. In 1798 the General Assem
bly sent out a letter to all Presby
terians in the United States (there
were 206 Presbyterian Churches in
the entire country at that time)

Pre-planning your next motor
ing vacation la aa important as
making sure you have air in the
tiree and gasoline In the tank.
You’ll want to include in these
plan* a “Checklist for Vacation
Safety." Here are some sugges
tions from the National Safety
Council on
r~lS\ things to check
before you start.
1. Make sure
your car has a
* .xJ complete lubri
cation * n d
2. See that
•wu»£.. .Wjj tires are in good
condition not
“bald” or broken.
8. Check to see that windshield
wipers work efficiently.
Other items to include in your
checklist are emergency supplies
—a first aid kit, permits, passes,
identification papers, maps, flash
light, extra car keys, equipment ,
for changing tires (including jack, i
wrench, emergency light,or flares)
and, of Course, a good spare tire.
Once on the open road, you’ll
want to;
1. Time your schedule and itin
erary to' allow for a full night’s
rest, adequate meals and rest
stops.
2. Concentrate on the rpad and
traffic, leaving scenery to the pas
sengers.
3. Obey all traffic signs and sig
nals, and keep a sharp eye out for
bicyclist* and children.

which may deserve reading in ouri
day and age. The letter said, in
part: "... we perceive a degree
of supineness and inattention
amongst too many of the ministers
and professors of Christianity,
which seems to threaten a dissolu
tion of religious society. Formali
ty and deadness, not to say hy
pocrisy; a contempt for vital god

piety visibly pervade every part of

nied, or attempted to explain away
the pure doctrines of the Gospel...
The Lord’s Day i* horribly profan
ed, and family rriigion and in
struction lamentably neglected.
Our ingratitude to God enhances
our guilt. No people have been
more highly favored in our original
establishments, our increasing pros
perity, but alas! we have basely
forgotten our Benefactor. We have
abused His favors and turned them
into engines of opposition against
Himqplf.
. . . Profaneness, pride, luxury,
injustice, intemperance, lewdness,
and every species of debauchery
and loose indulgence greatly
abound. ... As surely as there
is a righteous God, so surely will
He visit us in His just displeasure,
unless His grace prevent by awak-.
ening us to a sense of our guilt and
rcalling us to the practice of our
duty. ... It is time to cease from
, man . . . and openly confess to the
hand and agency and government
of God in the world. Let Chris
tians unite more cordially and
openly in adhering to their Mas
ter’s cause, and opposing infidelity
in all its forms . . . Let the deep
est humiliation and sincerest re
pentance mark our sense of nation
al sins . . . Let the ministers of
religion weep and intercede for
themselves and a guilty people . . .
Let us practice all righteousness!
Let us be earnest and fervent in
prayer, that God, for the sake of
the Lord Jesus Christ, would pour
I out His gracious Spirit upon min
isters and people, and revive His
work . . . amongst all denomina
tions.”
The prayers called for in the
above, together with the prayers of
other Christians were soon answer
ed. for within a few short years
our land was swept by one of the
greatest revivals in the "history of
the Christian Church, and our na
tion was spared. Ido not know
whether the situation today is as
j had as it was in 1798 or not, but it
!is bad enough. We certainly have
t —■ ——
our share of profanity, drunken
ness, and Sabbath-desecration. To
day, too, we trust the hand of man
too much, and claim not the se
curity that is to be found in Him
who said, “Bleftsed is the nation
whose God is the, Lord, and the
people whom He hath chosen for
His Inheritance.” The call to re
pentance, humility gnd intercessory
prayer is no less urgent today than
it was then, and it is yet possible
for God’s people to learn from per
sonal experience that the arm of
the Lord is not shortened, and the
day of revival is not past. The is
sue is serious, and there is no time
for Christians to waste.in compro
mise, procrastination and sin. Our
testimony to the saving grace of
Christ means the difference be
tween heaven and hell to the un
saved about us, and it may mean
the difference between defeat or
survival for our nation. Christian,
you owe it to your God, your fellow
men, your nation and yourself to
consecrate to Him your life, your
possessions, your abilities, your all.
Be not sidetracked by the things of
this world; the business of heaven
is too urgent.
