And leading fanners in the county have nominated six men whose ,names will be placed on the ballots. All the nominees are well qualified men for the positions so regardless of the outcome of the balloting, "Cherokee County will not lope. There is no argument to be found anywhere In the county concern > ^Dg the fact that agriculture ie a Cherokee County mainstay. When farm en asked for a Soil Conservation District to be set up here they were not only making a move to help themselves but they were starting some thing that will help all of us. I A Sofi Conservation District will, in time, mean more income to farmers. That higher income will mean more money for the entire county. And we will have the foresight of the farmers to thank. Because the election has such a far-reaching influence on all of us in the county, it is important that every eligible voter in the county show interest hi the election. We should all take an interest in the voting to prove to the farmers we understand and appreciate their leadership in the county.

As toon as the fields .begin at the city's edge one sees men reaping wheat and barley with band reap-hooks aucb as Dr- Foreman used in the days of Buth and Boas . We were told that there Is nothing worth while outside Ma drid. Nothing but 90 million peo ple living in Ignorance and eco nomic slavery!" One has to see such a country to appreciate how in America we enjoy what is a heritage and a teaching of true Christianity. Men Are Not Equal, But? The crushing of the poor by the rich is one of the sins specially set down in the Bible as hated by God. (See the Scripture for the week.) The crushii.? of the weak by tile strong is a problem always with us; but in our country we do at least try to keep the doors of opportunity open for every one. Our Declaration of Independence says that all men. are created equal; which is not a fact, we feel, tt is our belief, however?and let it be remembered, a belief taught by the Bible?that every child born within our borders shall have a fair chance to develop every gift and capacity be has. to go as far as he can go and to do as much as he can do (or his family and community. "Democracy" Is a Aord of many good meanings; and the basic meaning is equality of opportunity. For one thing, we try, at least in part, to see that no child shall be penalized in his education for being born where he was and not somewhere else. As a matter of fact, of course, not all schools are equally good. Some states have such poor schools, or such poor school laws, that children from there are handicapped in competi tion with children from states with better schools. But even where this is true, it is widely felt that this ought not to be. Educational leaders are not complacent about this state of things. Further, many states have equalized their school funds so that children born in re mote sections will have ^ust as well ? equipped and well - staffed schools within reach, as children in the larger cities. Fair Chance At Jobs Another angle of equality of op portunity it a fair chance at jobs. Some one la sure to ask: What has religion got to do with this? Wall, look at the Bible. Paul said that a man who will not work shall not eat?that was his rule. We all know the commandment, "Six days shalt thou labor," and we all have observed how important it is for the development of personality that a man or woman shall have work that suits his capacity and gives him a chance to be a pro ducing member of society. So if men are cut off from the chance to work, or not allowed to com pete for the kind of work for which they are fitted, religion says: This Is wrong, whenever one of God's children Is barred tram a God given right Fair Chance At Religion There la another kind of .equality of opportunity even more Impor tant than what has been men tioned. That la equality at oppor tunity In religion. "Freedom of Worship," aa It la often called, la not Just the legal right to wor ahlp under any church root one pleasea. It la the right to be faced with the choice God offers us In Christ and to ahare In hla fellow ship everywhere. It la not enough that your community has (as It does, no doubt) a variety at churches. The question la: Is every one In your community equally welcome In an these churches? Are there persona In your com munity who never come to church, because they have never been asked? - I >r ia? - N. fcJSr&AA I I NrTIMJ The til farm products Index of prices received by North Carolina fanners at local markets dropped cent during the .4_ a' .
