FREED Keeping the Chamber of Commerce on your payroll costs you less than an office boy's wages. Yet the Chamber does a man-size job as Murphy's sales manager, publicity agent, ambassador or good will, watchdog over industry and tourist trade and greeter-in-chlef to distinguished visitors. For your sake? keep the chamber of commerce on your payroll, and LETT'S GO ! ! ! SOME OBJECTIONS TO A CHAMBER OF COMMERCE "I don't agree with a lot of things the Chamber does." Answer: "Of course not! The only way the Chamber can avoid disagreements here and there Is by adoptin ga do-nothing policy. And you wouldn't want that kind of Chamber of Commerce! Besides if you check up, you'll find that the worst critic of the Chamber of Commerce will admit that 90% of the things it does are good for Murphy. That's a high batting average! And if the Chamber is wrong 10% of the time, the place to correct that situation is on the inside." \ (b) OBJECTION: "There are too many requests, I can't afford to contribute to he Chamber of Commerce." ANSWER: "Chamber of Commerce membership is not a con ribution. It is an investment. The Chamber's program is business expansion. It is the only town-wide organization working for busi ness on such basic problems as new industries, publicity for the town and county, for tourists trade, highway's, etc. Directly or in directly, you will benefit because your opportunity is greater in a growing town." (c) OBJECTION: "I don't have time to attend meetings." ANSWER: "All the more reason why you should help with your money. We want YOU! ! ! - But if you can't meet with us, we need your support. 'It takes oats to make a mare go'. The success of the Chamber of Commerce depends on a sound program, backed by ade quate manpower and money." (d) OBJECTION : "I am a professional man and don't need the Chamber of Commerce." - ' ANSWER: "No professional man ever prospered in the middle of the Sahara desert. It takes a city to give the professional man his opportunity. A new factory with 100 employees means three to five hundred new patients for doctors and dentists as well as many clients for lawyers. A SLOGAN FOB MURPHY ? STOP OR GO We are in a period when demands are being made on the Cham ber of Commerce and the town of Murphy. We must be ready for full speed ahead on the "go" signal. Murphy can stand still on the red light, be sluggish on the auburn light, or go full speed on the green light. Now is the period for wise planning and definite action. WORDS OF LIFE Andrews Free Methodist Church Lawrence R. Smith Andrews, N. C. "SEVEN THINGS GOD HATES" "These six things doth the Lord hate; yea seven are an abomina tion unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethern. Proverbs 6:16-19 What is an abomination? Just this , things that God hates and that are an aversion to his soul. All sin is the abuse of some power faculty. A look, a tongue, hands, a heart and feet. The hate fuless of sin in God's sight should be to us its greatest condemnation, not only because God will punish it, but because it separates us from the love of God. A proud look ? A proud look is not meant meanely the look but the in ner mood which the look expresses Pride put first because it is at the bottom of all disobedience THE CASE OF THE ? MIDDEN HOME-WRECKERS I IBS at work Termites $n guilty erf deliberate^ Termites must be Early detection, plus our proven " Methods can save you untold damage. We the Ow?J?* Ch opimm'^tfo . cau us rooAr. PESTROY Exterminating Inc. MALVE7-M12 r,N.G and rebellion against God's laws. It is the opposite of humility. "The Lord resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble". A lying tongue-Lying is hateful to God because he is a God of truth. In the early christian church in the case of Ananias and Sapphi ra, it was punished with death. The sin of lying is deceitfulness con veying false impressions to the mind of our neighbors. This is done by downright falsehoods, converted insinuations, half-truths, and act ed untruths. A man or woman who is false in language or action is poisoning his soul by degrees and is a spir itual suicide. "Putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another." Eph. 4:25 Hands that shed innocent blood The Divine commamd is, "Thou shall do no murder", and those who break it will find, if they escape man, that the Lord is the Avenger of blood. The sheding of innocent blood cries out for vengeance, pulls down God's heavy judgments on the murderer, as in the case of Cain and Abel. An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations ? These are those who use their hearts for the devil's workshop and use their inventive faculties not for the good of others, but for the base and shameful pur pose of bringing others into dis tress or ruin. Feet that be swift in running to mischief-This takes in all those who are eager to relate a slander. A false witness that speak lies "Thou shall not bear fales witness against thy neighbor" Exod. 20:16 One of the most solemn positions a man can occupy would be the wi tness stand. If then he makes a false statement "speaks lies" under oath he defies his Maker and cau ses wrong to the innocent. He that soweth discord among brethern- Jesus said "Blessed are the peacemakers". If we do not promote peace and good will, we sure need not stir up strife. To sow seeds of discord is bad in a social circle, worse in a home and worse of all in the Church of Christ Lets remember that God hates these things, and lets remember that God is displeased with those who do them and will sorely pu nish those who impenitently pre sist in them.

Rum, edi tor of The Mountaineer, Waynes ville Mountaineer, Waynesville, viiie, says: "Few people in the South have as much firsthand in formation on world affairs as Heinz Rollman, President of Well corRo-Search, a dual international industrial organization, with head quaters at Waynesville. Mr. Rollman makes frequent trips to all parts of the world, and is in constant contact with his 72 affiliated factories around the globe. Due to the growing interest in in ternational affairs, and the desire for a better understanding of what is happening on the foreign scenes, Mr. Rollman has agreed to write a brief, concise column each week for this newspaper, explaining in a business man's language, just what is taking place. He is an authority on the subject, and his columns will be of much interest, and information to the readers of this newspaper. Mr. Rollman is contributing his time as a public service in writing these columns, and does not re ceive one cent for them. He is interested in world peace, and to that end, is devoting a greater part of his time and energies." By HEINZ ROLLMAN ..On March 30, I spoke to the mem bers of the WNC Press Association and to imy very great delight and satisfaction, your editor felt that X could contribute something to the understanding of world affairs, and aksed me to write a column for this paper. I told him it would be a great honor to do so. First things have to be done first in life, and one of the very first things is for us to preserve our American wayof life; to see what we, can do so that we will not be over run by commiunism; to see GARDEN TIME m.e gardner n e state college "The weeds are about to take < me". This is a common expression, i this time of year most sections of the state. What about "weed killers"? < Many of thejn are good but some are so highly selective that tney must be used with great care. ] Well known 2, 4-D amine salt will 1 kill most of the broad leaf weeds in i the lawn but windblown spray may 1 cause excessive damage to flow ers and shrubs. For this reason 1 am suggesting that if you try any i of the weed control materials, do i so with great care and carefully | follow the instructions given on the package. You can buy them under different trade names from your 1 seedman. Mulching will help control weeds 1 and, in addition, will conserve moisture and lower the soil tem perature around the roots during periods of hot weather. A good mulching material should be free what we can do to help create the means for peace, and to take away from hundreds of millions of peo ple all over the world what they think is their desperate need of communism. 1 fully believe that we have to understand the issues involved and that once we, the people, under stand the issues involved, we will, as we have always done thorugh our history, find the ways and ; means to take the right action at the right time, to do the right thing. I call this, the way we live, AMER- 1 ICANISM. For me, it is not only democ racy or modern capitalism or practicing Chistianity. For me, all this combined together means one . thing and one thing only ? AMER- : ICANISM as it is only known in our ] own country and, unfortunately, ; nowhere else in the world. i at weeds and porous enough to per mit free passage of water down ward to the roots. This is why I tike pine needles, chopped straw or aid hay. On the other hand peat moss, sawdust and cotton seed hulls will form an almost imprevious layer over the area covered. Peat is an excellent organic material and I would rather work it into the soil than use it as a mulch. It will pay you to heavily mulch your tomatoes regardless of wheth er or not they are staked. The same is true of azaleas, camellias, peppers, raspberries and many oth er home garden plants. The best treatment that you can give your raspberries is to mulch them with strawy manure up to 20 tons per ?ere. Before the mulching material is applied, it is a good plan to clean away all grass and weeds, fertilize the plants, if needed, then apply your mulch. This will really?make your plants happy if you give them the needed water and protection from insect and disease pests. Timely hints: Keep after the in sects and diseases. Pinch back your chrysanthemums to cause branching and root some cuttings. Use sharp, clean sand, shade, keep moist and protect from the wind. Watch your plants. Any that are in apparent good health but are showing signs of. yellowing may need quickly available nitro gen. QUESTION: What type of soil is best suited for the production of gladiolus? ANSWER: Gladiolus grow in a wide variety of soil types but does best on well-drained, sandy loam soils such as Portsmouth and Nor folk. It can be grown in relatively heavy clay s*ils, and Is often grown on very light sands in the coastal area.
