SECTION TWO Committee Named To Study State’s Marketing Set-up The North Carolina Farm Bu reau Federation has announced the formation of a state Farm Bu reau Marketing Committee to study North Carolina's agricul tural marketing set-up. At the time he announced es tablishment of the committee, Farm Bureau Federation Presi dent Randolph Eagles of Maccles field, declared, “there is a need for a farmer led study group which can survey, analyze and evaluate the marketing require ments necessary for a healthy ag ricultural economy with increas ed per capita income as its ob jective.” Members of the committee as announced by Eagles are A. C. Edwards of Hookerton, chairman; James Graham, Raleigh; John Broome, Aurora; Clyde Auman, West End; S. A. Yancey, Jr., Va rina; William Enloe, Dana; El mer Patterson, Elon College and Hoyle Griffin, Monroe.

Referring to specific areas of interest for the committee, Eagles said, “the entire area of timing production to match periods of peak demand and prices will re ceive attention. The committee will want to call on established agencies for information in re gard to other marketing pro grams and suggested changes that are needed,” declared Eagles. The formation of the Farm Bu reau Committee comes at a time when our agricultural industry is at a cross roads. With estimated industrial expansion and popula tion growth there will come an increased demand for food and fiber. The test for our farmers is whether or not they will supply this demand, or if they will per mit farmers from other areas to capture the home markets, de clared the Farm Bureau president. One of the major functions of the committee will be to pass on .information to farmers and to give farmers a sounding board for presenting farmer directed poli cy decisions for consideration by those agencies charged with the responsibility of directing the State’s marketing program. [ their earnings during their work j ing years. Then, upon retire ment, they and/or their depend ents receive regular benefits bas ed upon the amount of their earn ings prior to retirement. The purpose of the OASI insurance program is to keep people from becoming needy when they can no longer earn. The initial Act, however, did not extend these benefits of to all employed persons. Also when the law was enacted it was recogniped that some persons were already dependent and too old to work. Some plan was needed so rthese persons. Old Age Assistance (OAA) was provided in the law for those in economic need who became 65 and met the eligibility require ments. It was anticipated that, as the number of persons covered by the OASI insurance program increas ed, the proportion in need of old age assistance (OAA) would de crease. Until 1954, however, a large segment of the population—the farmers and farm workers—were excluded from the OASI insur ance coverage. This was partic ularly significant in a rural stats like North Carolina. Low per capita income also kept many of the State’s citizens from being able to save for the future. The OASI insurance program is keeping down the number apply ing for OAA assistance despite the THE CHOWAN HERALD jiliDiruii 1 ! B Y ORAL ROBERTS: 000 18 ALWAYB “IN TIME”, ALWAYB “ON TIME” 1 The late Dr. George Washing ton Carver, noted Negro educa tor ahd philosopher, testified be fore a Senate - committee con cerning his laboratory work with the peanut, “How did you learn all these things?” he was asked. “From the Bible,” he answered. “What does the Bible say about peanuts?" questioned the sur prised chairman. “Nothing, Mr. Senator," replied the educator, .“but it tells about God Who made the peanut. So I asked Him to show me what to do with the peanut and He did." God knows everything. He knows everything about you. He knows so much about us that He tells us “even before we call He will answer, and while we are yet speaking, He will hear.” Dare to believe that. Dare to take all your problems and troubles to Him. You will find that He is always in time. He Is never too late. He knows just when to come. He is always on time. Mr. W. J„ of South Carolina relates this striking incident. “I was a student at the Univer sity of South Carolina. I drove forty miles every day from the town of Great Falls where I lived, to the University in Columbia. “One morning it had been rain ing and the highway was wet. As I rounded a curve coming into a small town, Ridgewqy, South Carolina, the quality of the highway material changed suddenly. "My tires were somewhat worn, and as I rounded the curve .and struck the new section of fact that 8,000 more persons are being added to the segment of the population 65 and over each year in the State. However, the OASI program is not cutting down on the total number of OAA recepi ents. The gradual rise in the percent age of older people receiving some benefit from the OASI insurance program while still needing help from the OAA assistance pro gram may be seen in the facts for the past three years. In February 1955 there were 51,479 persons 65 years of age or over who were receiving OAA assistance in North Carolina. Os this number it was estimated that 3,896, or 7.6 per cent, were also receiving OASI benefits. In the same month in 1956 a total of 51,- 489 persons were receiving OAA. Os this number 4,151 or 8.1 per cent were estimated to be receiv ing OASI benefits also. In that same month this year 51,606 per sons were receiving OAA. Os this number 4,567 (8.8 per cent) were estimated to be receiving OASI also. In each instance the check from the OASI insurance program is one of the items of income tak en into account when the budget for the person applying for OAA assistance is made out. From these figures it can be seen that the number receiving OAA assistance is increasing very slightly in spite of the sharp in crease in numbers in the segment of the population 65 and over. The percentage of people receiv ing OASI insurance benefits who must have supplementary OAA payments is showing a very grad ual -rise. It is estimated that the number of OAA recipients will remain approximately the same for the next few years but that the grants necessary for minimum needs will slowly increase because of the rising cost of living.

Suddenly it began to turn around and around on the wet highway. “I wrestled with the steering wheel, applied the brake, and did every thing I could think of in the flash of a few seconds, but no results. Abruptly the car stopped twisting 'around and swerved toward a large tree that was growing beside the highway. “In the fleeting flash of a sec ond, I realized I was going to strike that tree. The car was completely out of control. In stinctively I turned to the only resources left to me, and not having time to say the words aloud, a ‘thought-prayer’ flashed through my mind. These words stand out vividly to me today, although that was sis years ago —‘Lord, help me!’ ‘-‘I have tried to explain the next second with every psycho logical and scientific explanation available. Yet, none cf them fit. How or why the car did not strike the tree with terrific force cannot be explained other than that the power of God was ex erted in my behalf. It was as if a giant hand had seized the car and commanded it to stop—for instantly, within one foot of the tree, the car stopped skidding and began rolling backwards down the highway in the direc tion of Columbia. “In control of the car again, I turned around and continued on my trip. But all that day there wae the terrific realization that the Lord had stepped in just in time to save me from almost cer tain death." |Mrs. Mary Ella Long | Dies In Hospital After I Illness Os Five Days Mrs. Mary Ella Long, 73, died !
