We read in the newspapers that food and supplies in Afghanistan are expected to increase since farmers are beginning to use improved hand tixils. such as spades, forks, hoes and scythes. 1 he advance to these improved hand tixils occurred as a result of the Afghanistan Government's re quest for technical aid from the I-hi ted Nation-. Noi l is 1 Dobb. Director General ol the I nitcd Nations said that the use ol the scythes instead of the small sickle would represent an advance ment of one hundred years in Afghanistan In Morocco. Africa, we read that the natives continue to turn out beautiful items by the same methods that their ancestors used. Many small workshops are scattered through l-'ez el Bali, encient Moroccan Arab city and center of the handicraft work, where wool is spun into thread and then woven into blankets on equipment which has not changed since the time of Christ. Reading about Afghanistan and Morocco should renew our faith in our American system of free enterprise with its incentive system. We in America must continue to examine our laws to be sure that our plans for the security of the individual do not over-shadow opportunity and incentives for increasing production. I he standard of living for 'he people of the country can onlv rise when the production of the people increases. We must keep the incentive for increasing production ever present. One out of every three South Koreans arc without a home. This is a result of war. War is most destructive of life and property. The reli gion ot Christ is the only solution to World Peace It starts at home with each individual. 11 every war had to pay for its own expenses there would not be any more.

"Drive Carefully," the life sou save mas be your own?remember too. the blood you give mas- save the life of a friend or relative. Scouting With The Editor TO IMI'HOVE mind, increase my know ledge of the Bible, and receive spiritual enrich ment. I am taking the three courses offered at the Murphy Baptist Seminary Extension Center: New Testament. Old Testament, and Preaching Now. wail a second before saying, "why Preaching. I started out to take only the New Testament course, but sitting in at the other classes on the first night. 1 just had to take all three While I do not intend to use the preaching instruction like the pastors. I am finding it an inspiration to listen to the lectures, and feel that there will be much instruction that will be helpful in teaching Sunday School and do ing other church work, aside from preaching. The response to the school has been beyond all expec tations. There are four times as many as needed for such a center and three times as many as the faculty and leaders ever dreamed would be inter ested. Most of the students are preachers, in this and adjoining counties. FOR MORE THAN NINE years I have attended regularly the meetings of Murphy Lions Club, and have considered it a privilege to ro work with the fine Murphy business and professional men who compose the club. The projects the club promotes make an impact for good upon the community and throughout the county, and I have enjoyed having a part in their promotion. Since my Tuesday nights part in their promotion. Since my Tuesday nighs next 18 weeks. I have found it necessary to with draw from the club. However, THE SCOUT will continue to try to cover the activities of the club and support the projects it undertakes. In this fare well to the club. I extend to each member my very best wishes and shall cherish always the happy association with them. FOR SEVERAL DAYS I have been busy re arranging. painting anr re-decorating my living quarters, making preparation to occupy only one instead of two of the first floor apartments in my home. Clara Mae and Don Ellie plan to move into one apartment next week. That will give us a large family of six in the household: Oval and John Don icy. Mr. Albert Martens, the Ellises anc 1. OUR ME1HLE PRESS on which we print THE SCOUT. THE ANDREWS JOURNAL, and THE EN'OTAH ECHOES of Young Harris College, had a litle extra exercise this week, with three runs of a'most 3.000 each of THE FRANKLIN PRESS. Bob Sioan and his assistants from THE PRESS spent most of Wednesday afternoon and into the wee hours Thursday morning printing the paper here. That neighbor newspaper is moving into a new building and erecting a new press, and in the pro cess was unable to print the paper in there this week. We were happy for them to use our facilities. I wo major problems this paper has about news items, one is too late and the other, ton long. Some folks wait until near press time and rush in with copy, usually stating, "I have been bust, or Been out of town." "It must go this week. I hey don't realize it. Some will write the .Month of November, as if November is not the name of a month Just sav November. Oth-rs write. "State of North Carolina." "Sav, North Carolina." Evervbodv knows North Carolina is the name of our great state. Some write "Mr ana .Mrs. John Doe and family" when John Doe and family is enough.

DEVOTIONAL READING: A 'Yes' to Christ Lnsoi far January IS, IMS JESUS ki.ew some distinguished people. But his first and most intimate friends were not of that kind. Christianity started at the grassroots of humanity. It did not start in the top branches. It is a good thing, too. It is quite true that Christianity has depths and heights to which most Christians do not attain. A St. Paul has not only mvstic raptures but intellectual penetra- pr f0,tmon tion which compara tively few Christians have shared or can share: he was a genius, and most of us are not geniuses. But in Jesus' first group of com panions there was no St. Paul. They were the plainest of plain people. The first of them were fishermen. They were not used to lectures; It is extremely doubtful whether any one of them would have understood the Epistle to the Ephesians if it had been read to them. But they understood Jesus ... at least they understood what he said. He said. "Follow me;" and they followed him. It was as simple as that ? ? ? Surrender ?THAT is what Christianity is. at * its heart: saying Yes to Jcs"s. When those fishermen said their "Yes" it meant three things, and those three are always involved whenever any one sincerely begins the Christian life. For this was only the beginning, of course. There was a long road ahead, much they would have to learn and do and suffer; but even the longest road has its beginning. And the Christian's road begins with this first "Yes." First of all, it means surren der. They took him for their leader, they absorbed his teach ing, they obeyed his orders. There is a Christian hymn. "My Jesus, as Thou Wilt"; one hears It most often at funerals, hot It Is not intended as n funeral hymn. It could well be the hymn su-? when young people am eon.irmed or join the rharrh: M ronlj well be the every-mornir-g :* of every real Christian. What do 1 want most.' is not ? Christian question. Rather it shoulc be. W oat docs Christ want most? ? ? ? Separation n GAIN, those fishermen's "Yes" * meant separation. They left '.heir nets, their old occupation. We must not read too much into this, as if in order to be a Christian one must leave his wage-earning business, whatever it U.
