Question —I have never had a
birth certificate and would like
to know how I can obtain one
so I can qualify for old age
benefits next year.
Answer: If you were born in
North Carolina and will be age
62 next year, you will not be
able to get an original birth cer
tificate from the County Regis
ter of Deeds or the Department
of Vital Statistics in Raleigh, i
Records of birth were not kept
until 1913 in North Carolina.
While it is true that you must
be able to identify yourself and
prove your a?e in order to be
come entitled to old-age bene
fits under the social security
act, a birth certificate is not al
ways necessary. Marriage cer
tificates, birth certificates of
your children (which show your
age), family Bible records, mili
tary discharges, school records,
census records, and old insur
ance policies can be used to
prove your age. This is not
a complete list, but the docu
ment used must show your age
or date of birth and also show
when the record was made.

Washington Public hearings
on the general farm bill for 1962
have been concluded by the
Committees -on Agriculture in
the Senate and the House. The
Senate Agriculture and Forestry
Committee is expected to com
plete its work on the bill soon.
Since the farm bill will be a
matter of great interest to
North Carolina farmers when it
is reported out of these com
mittees, a brief analysis of the
farm program as it has affected
North Carolina agriculture in re
cent years should be a matter
of similar interest. The tremen
dous part agriculture plays in
North Carolina’s economy is
magnified once again by the lat
est figures released by the
North Cafolina Agricultural Sta
bilization and Conservation Ser
vice. These statistics show that
307,722 Tar Heel farm; with 1.-
452,022 acres participated in the
wheat, peanut, cotton and to
bacco programs. For the fiscal
y«ar 1961-62 our farmers are
earning more than S3O million
from the feed grains program,
the wheat stabilization program,
and the agricultural conservation
program.
ACP One of the soundest
farm programs on the statutes
is the Agricultural Conservation
Program which is shown as the
ACP. Under this program farm

Question —I earn S4BOO a year
in my regular job. I also have
a part-time job that pays me
about SIOOO every year. Why
do I have withheld from my pay
the social security tax on my
part-time job and why does that
employer have to pay his part?
Answer: By filing a tax re
turn you can get a refund of so
cial security tax (the F.I.C.A.
tax) withheld on your part-time
job pay. In other words, a re
fund on all social security tax
es that you paid on earnings re
ported for you over the S4BOO
will be made. Your second em
ployer (the part-time job) must
report your earnings, withhold
the required taxes, and pay his
part of the F.I.C.A. tax. He
cannot apply for a refund of (he
employer’s part of the F.I.C.A.
tax in your case because his
tax. liability is not dependent
upon how much an employee
earns working somewhere else,
but upon how much he pays
any one worker employed by
him.
one.half the cost of carrying out
soil, water, woodland and wild
life conserving practices. The
annual ACP allocation for North
Carolina farmers amounts to
about $6M> million. The great
est benefit of the program,
aside from the monetary aid to
farmers, is portrayed in greener
forests, more fertile fields, and
purer water supplies for our
cities. I can remember when
gullied hillsides, worn-out fields,
and abandoned farms were com
mon-place in North Carolina.
Now as I visit around the state
the landscape is dotted with
cultivated fields, terraced pas
tures, and new woodlands. How
ever, the program is not. com-!
plete. A large percentage of
our farmlands still need con
servation treatment. The use
of fertilizers, terracing, drainage
and conservation practices have
contributed to a quiet revolution
which has taken place in North
Carolina farming since the in
ception of the ACP. Twenty
five years ago North Carolina
planted thousands of sub-mar
ginal acres in row crops. The
more acres that the farmer
planted in these areas the more
money he lost. A change then
began. From 1936 to 1960 un
der ACP our farmers converted
l :l 4 million acres of this land
into pasture. Today North Caro
lina ranks high among the
Southeastern States in dairy and
beef production. It was inter
esting to me to learn that dur
ing this 25 year period, North
Carolina farmers through- the

lime and a tremendous quantky
of fertilizer to our pasture land;
er-crops; put in 48,000 miles of
terracing, and drained 1.2 mil
lion acres of 'land in carrying out
conservation practices under the
program.
In contrast to our potential
enemy the Soviets, our agricul
tural problems are concerned
with the surpluses rather than
shortages. The productivity of
the soil is a rich heritage which
is a trust for all future genera
tions of North Carolinians and
Americans. The ACP is dedi
cated to the worthwhile pro
gram of preserving this produc
tivity through wise conservation
of our natural resources for the
unborn generations of tomorrow.
Today, however, our agricultural
abundance is one of the great
bulwarks of the nation in the
Cold War struggle.

SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON
Cont’d. from Peg* 6—Section 2
Marcionites and Gnostics denied
the humanity of Jesus.
The inspired writer of the Let
ters to Timothy was deeply con
cerned about these false doc
trines and their alarming spread;
therefore he was determined to
do all he could to combat them.
So, he declared in his Letter
that “there is one God, and
there is one mediator between
God and men, the man Christ
Jesus.” One God, one Mediator
—this is the doctrine to which
Christians must subscribe if
they are not to be led astray.
What has all this to do with
Christian life today? Are not
the Marcionites and the Gnos
tics dead and gone? The fact
is that whereas two or three sec
tarian movements were compet
ing for the minds and hearts of
Christiass in the second century
of our Lord, Scores of them are
operating in 19Q2. It is very
easy to forget the centrality of
Jesus Christ, who wa§ both hu
man and divine. To allow half
baked religious interpretations
'by ingenious men and women
to water down our faith in
Christ Jesus as the Lord of life
would be a serious mistake. We
must learn the art of sales re
sistance to some of these ap
peals.
Today we find people seeking
a faith but uncertain as to how
they may find it. Some seek it
through reason; others, through
science. Still others take an
emotional approach, arid some
appeal to history and the tra
ditions ofo the past. No partial
answer is ever good enough to
satisfy the great needs of the
soul. Nor is a partial answer
good enough anywhere else in
life. A house is not just a set
of blueprints. It may start with

there. It is also carpentry, ma
sonry and plumbing; it is glass,

complete without the parts, but
no part is a complete whole.
So it is with faith; we see the
Old Testament yearning for a
Messiah. We see the New Test
ament revelation on Christ. We
feel the power of Christ's life
on those he met. We feel the
impact of his life on the early
church. We sense his continuing
power through the indwelling of
the Holy Spirit. The revela
tion of the Christlike God is an
invitation to away of life, and
Christ has shown the way. He
invites us to walk in it.
