But how many of us do carry the right spiritual health insurance policy; a policy that would cover all our transgressions, will and un willful ; those of thought, word and deed? And more than this! Are premiums consisting of devotion, confidence, trust and Christian deeds paid up to make this spiritual insurance policy valid? Our Ascended Lord owns this spiritual in surance company. He will be the One ond the only One who will be able to pay any claims made against us in the Court of Eternity. He ia our Defender and our Advocate, and the Fes tival of Ascension commemorates the Day when He returned to this position. May this be the desire of our hearts that to day we may lift up our souls to our Heavenly Fat' in the prayer of the saints of ages past, "Grant, we beseech Thee, Almighty God, that like as we do believe Thy Only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, to have ascended into the heavens; so we may also in heart and mind thither ascend, and with Him continually dwell, Who liveth ' and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost, ever One God, world without end. Amen." FCDA Trains Rescue Corps Twenty {piles from downtown Washington la the world's great est "theater" ? ? gigantic stage setting without ? stage, profes sional actors or scenario. Amidst a backdrop of "bombed out" building ruins, volunteer "actors" and "actresses" period ically put behind the day's work aday world to become "victims" at the Federal Civil Defense Ad ministration's Olney, Md.. Res cue Schoo1 ? ? ? WHILE BURNING OIL is played on stairways and other key spots in the ruins by a remote control panel, students at the na tional rescue school enter the flaming structures and actually rescue the volunteer "victims." Some "victims" pretend unconsciousness. Others sim ulate situations the rescue' werkera would meet In as actual civil defense disaster by becoming "hysterical." and even by kicking and fight ing their wo-VI-be "rescu er*." Seldom, however, do profes sional rescue instructors standing by actually have to enter the ruin/ to help out their students during the "final exam" of the two-week course. And never are the volunteer victims actually in danger, tor they have been placed In areas known to be safe from the hidden flaming oil Jet*. Motorists Asked To Cooperate In Safety-Check RALEIGH ? Major Charles A. Speed, director of traffic safety activities for the State Highway Patrol, called upon all North Caro lina motorists this week to cooper ate* fully with the current Vehicle Safety-Check. Virtually every county in the State will have volunteer inapec tor^at on4~ or more check lanes where motorists may Save their vehicles safety checked free. The patrol major said the Tar Heel inspection was in line with the nation's campaign to put every motor vehicle in safe condition. The vehicle-Check program is be ing sponsored nationally by the Inter-Industry Highway Safety Committee, LOOK Magazine, and the National Safety Council. "The success of the drive calls for 100 per cent support from all North Carolina drivers." Major Speed said. ''And it's to every driver's advantage to give the pro gram his support. Hie fellow who takes his and other's lives in his a good turn. The one who neglects this important safety measure takes his and others' llvesl n his hands.' ' In last year's National Vehicle Safety-Check, during which nearly one and a half million cars were checked, one out of five cars was found to he In need of mechanical attention, Major Speed said. "Here in our own state," th? major continued, "70 of the 1081 fatal auto crashes last year wen caused by faulty brakes, lights steering and tires. "Many of the owners had n< idea that their vehicles were ir unsafe driving condition," he said The ones who did get a safety check were lucky to make the dis covery of mechanical defects tn t check lane instead of a traffic lane, Many a driver has lost his life be cause an unsafe automobile pari failed at a crucial moment" Major Speed said that ever; driver should check his car for ob vious danger signs whenever h< drives, but such checking does no! take the place of the periodic chect by a trained mechanic. Re urged all drivers to have their can saf ety-checked this month while the vehicle Safety-Check Is In progress. J. C.

SMITH i l Soil Conservation Service Complete Soil and Water Con- ( servation plans have just been , delivered to several Cherokee . County farmers by the Soil Con servation District. These plans, worked out Jointly by the land owner and the technicians of the Soil Conservation Service, are available to any farmer who desir es one. They may be obtained by applying to the Supervisors of the | local Soil Conservation District. Wayne Abernathy, Judd Stiles and Bill Russell are the supervisors. Farm plans were delivered to W. D. McCombs, J. O. Raper, H. E. Dickey, W. D. Townson, J. L. Hall, James Barton and Charles Walk er. Several others, Including plans for Emory Sneed and Bruce West are in the final stages of prepara tion and will be returned to these farmers shortly. On severar farms recently, it has been shown that organic mat ter is a very important put of soil. Freshly plowed fields on the farms of Wayne Abernathy, Emory Sneed and W. D. McCombs with stood the recent heavy rains with out any sign of soil erosion. On all of these farms, heavy cover crops ganic matter in the soil. Soil which are turned under yearly to put or has a high organic matter content is mellow, and will absorb rain water as it falls, even in very heavy rains. Since the water soaks in the ground it cannot cause ero sion. Another important point is that this water absorbed into the soil becomes available to plants in dry weather when it is badly need ed. On the other hand, soil which Is low in organic matter cannot absorb water very rapidly, and the water htus to run off over the top of the ground. This water carries with it soil particles in large quan tities. Soil thus washed off eventu ally ends up in Hiwassee Lake, where it Is of no value to anyone. In fact, ? every ton of earth that washes Into the lake cuts the wat er storage capacity of the lake by about 22 cubic feet. This is of minor importance as compared with the value lost by the farmer when a ton of his topsoil washes away. Wayne Abemathy told of Increas ing the yield of corn on one of his fields from about ten bushels per acre in 1M6 to 113 bushels per acre in 1M9. He gave organic matter the majority of the credit for such tremendous increases in corn yields. Wayne practices what he preaches! He now has a rank stand of vetch ready to turn under on the field that produced ten bushels per acre only ten years ago. All farmers who have tried turning under cover crops to In crease the soil organic matter have found that yields can be great! y Increased by this easy and chea] practice. Gene Clayton has seeded ap proximately three acres of serices lespedeza on his father's place at Peachtree. This is a very drought resistant plant that makes valu able grazing or hay when grass and clover pasture has failed in dry, hot weather. Many eastern North Carolina dairymen are able to graze their cattle in time of drought only because they have several acres of sericea lespedeza to fall back on when grass and clover fail.
