Yes, you have guessed it!
Schools are hbout to begin.
Hie severe winter weather
and energy shortages have
| caused schools all over the
' nation to begin the latter
half of the month of August.
All too soon, it seems, the
summer has passed and the
first part of August is given
unto that last vacation fling
on the beach, on the lake, in
the mountains, in the plains,
partaking of travel and
viewing the scenery and
| places of interest, swim
ming, boating, fishing,
hiking, and the like; but
money is reserved for new
school clothes and for those
expensive school books!
And talking of books
reminds us of the lost book
as giveninll Chronicles 34:14
and on. It seems that the
good King Josiah had or

cleansed; and in it they

found a book that simply
changed lives! It was the
Law - the Holy Bible. Its
contents caused Josiah to
rend his clothes for he
learned therein about the
terrible sins of the people;
and so he called thfcm
together and had it read to
them and then made a
covenant for the people to
follow in the ways of the
Lord.
Is that precious book lost
today? Is it dusted but put
back on the shelf or table?
God says it is lost for “In the
latter days, there shall be a
famine in the land, not of
food and water but of the
WORD OF GOD. (Amos 8:11
And this need not be for the
Bible is the most fascinating
and most interesting book
ever studied. It has
something for everyone in
its 66 books-a school for a
life time. Listen to a few of
the coursta/^^y
In HISTORY ,/we learn of
our beginnings in the
Garden of Eden and of our
forefathers, Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob; and of
many exciting battles. We
learn of WISDOM, in
Proverbs, the wise savinas
of Solomon, the wisest man
to ever live. We study LAW
in Exodus. Yes., we have
extra-curricular courses.
We TRAVEL a great deal,
the longest journey being 40
yegrs through the wilder
ness with Moses. In our
'FIELD TRIPS, we visit the
ART galleries of Noah’s
ark (you never saw such an
exhibition!), and Solomon’s
Temple, the greatest of
man’s ARCHITECTURE.
Our hearts are lifted up by
the heavenly MUSIC of
Psalms; and the little book
of LOVE—Ruth, has not
been taken out of our studies
in school of life.-Then there
is POETRY—sad, it is true,
about the fall of Jerusalem
in Lamentations. A LET
TER-WRITING COURSE
is at its best under the study
of a man named Paul, who
wrote to the churches in
structing them and
sometimes praising them
and sometimes expressing
wrath for their letting the
devil come into their lives.
But our very best
education is to be found in
the New Testament, where
we sit at the feet of THE
GREATEST OF ALL
TEACHERS, JESUS
CHRIST!
This Bible, the book of
books, is filled with just
everything we need for our
spiritual lives on earth. It is
our book of ABC’s. It is our
foundation for Christian
living for ALL TODAY’S
AND FOR ALL
TOMORROWS. It is truly
our book of READIN,
RITIN’, AND ‘RITHME
TIC.” So, find it and use it to
the glory of our Lord and
Saviour, Jesus Christ!

JAYCEES SELL PEANUTS North Carolina Jaycees
have launched a campaign to sell peanuts to raise money to
help build interfaith chapels at the four State centers for the
retarded. Showing off the peanuts are, left to right, Charles
Dunn of Raleigh, president of Chapels for the N. C. Centers
for the Retarded; John Lowery of Lincolnton, state Jaycee
president; and Roger Allen of Wilson, coordinator of the
peanut project for the Jaycees.
Controlling Insects
Fire ants can present
special and difficult
problems. Several species
are vicious stingers and
biters - while others attack
structural timbers,
telephone poles and fence
posts. Fire ants are also
nuisance pests in lawn and
garden areas.
Now is the time for heavy
infestations of these insects,
particularly in the Southeast
and the Southwest. Spec

effective control of fire ants.
This liquid concentrate is
easily used-one ounce in
one gallon of water-as a
drench. Apply gently over
and six inches around each
mound to avoid disturbing
ants.
Larger quantities of the
solution can be prepared for
multiple mound treatments.
For best results, apply in
cool weather, 65-89 degrees
F, or in early morning or
later evening hours. If
possible, treat new mounds
as they appear.
Jaycees To Raise Money
ASHEBORO - Peanuts
have made Eastern, North
Carolina millions, a Georgia
farmer president, a comic
strip famous, and now - with
Jaycee help - peanuts are
helping to build chapels at
the four state centers for the
mentally retarded.
State Jaycee President
John Lowery of Lincolnton
said today that Jaycee
chapters across the state
will be selling peanuts
“salted in the shell” to help
.raise money to build'in
terfaith chapels at the four
institutions.
The Jaycees are among
civic and religious
organizations seeking to
raise $2-million to build the
chapels at Caswell Center at
Kinston, O’Berry Center at
Goldsboro, Murdoch Center
at Butner, and Western
Carolina Center at
Morganton.
Charles Dunn of Raleigh,
president of the non-profit
group raising money for the
chapels, said, “On behalf of
the more than 3,200 North
Carolinians living at the
four centers, I thank the
Jaycees across the state for
JBg Entire Stock of
Summer Merchandise

undertaking the Chapels
project again this year.”
“We appreciate the
Jaycees who put into action
that portion of their creed
which states that service to
humanity is the best work in
life,” Dunn said.
Lowery said, “I’m con
fident that we can raise
SIOO,OOO for the Chapels
project. Chapter leaders all
over North Carolina
recognize the need that the
residents of these centers
have for chapel facilities.
We want to help build them
and selling peanuts is our

way to help this year.”
Roger Allen of Wilson,
coordinator of the “peanut
project,” said, “Everyone
likes peanuts and this year
we hope folks will buy them
from Jaycees. They will not
only leave a good taste in
your mouth, but a good
feeling in your heart
because they will be helping
to build these much needed
chapels.”
About the year 1500, the
Aztec city on the site of
present-day Mexico City had
an estimated 100,000 people.
