Second Class Psslafe 117 Hiefcary St Words of Life By E. E. CURTISS ? Can you be a Christian and still be a tobacco user? Is the Use of tobacco to be condemned? How would St. Paul, or St. John, ?r the devout Wesley, or the Saintly Fletcher, have appeared with p. tobacco-box in his pocket, and a pipe, cigar or cigarette in his ntouth? Most of all can you glorify God while using or in using tobacco? These are ques tions you will have to answer Know Ye not that the Christian's body is a "temple of th<? Holy Ghost?" And a Christian has no right to pollute the body with { any tiling filthy or poisonous Here are some facts to think about while you are deciding whether or not you can be a Christian and still use tobacco: 1. gverv doctor within the heai mg arts knows that the use of tobacco aggravates various di seases. It may not cause cancer, abnormal lung conditions, nervous disorders or some heart condi tions?but it seems to make some diseases progress at a much faster rale than normal. 1( youj doubt this investigate how tobac co makes the body secrete adren aline and what happens when adrenaline is not fully utilized- [ 2. That is is sinful to use it as most do I have no doubt, if de 1 straying the constitution vilely | squandering away the time and money which God has given for other purposes, may be termed sinful.' Can any who call them i selves Christians vindicate their I conduct in this respect? 3. The impiety manifested by i several in the use of this herb. merits the most cutting reproof. When many of the tobacco con sumers get into trouble, or under I any cross of affliction, instead of! looking to God for support, the ! pipe, the snuff-box. or the twist I is applied to with quadruple [ earnestness: so that four times! !<I might say. in some cases.! ten times' the usual quantity is! consumed on such occasions.; What comfort is this weed in WINTER CLEARANCE SALE Now is the lime to Sew and Save . . .

Ia TattaflM With Cfintoi Davidson The news headlines next week will be on the start of President Kisenhpwcr'i 10-da.v 18.000 -mile visit la < four South American1 countries where our diplomatic fences are badly in need o I re pair. But the inside story back oi that visit is one that most news ? men covering the trip will (ail to report. It may well be a part ol the most important story in the world this year. The trip is a part of tho Presi dent's dedication of his last yeai in office to the building of peace and friendship throughout the world. It is a part of his "crusade for peace." Only those who know him per sonally realize fully how daepiy and earnestly he feels about establishing a firm foundation and understanding rather than a "military stand-off" of two pow erful blocs of hositle nations. A Change In P?ttcy The President's efforts repre sent a substantial change in world diplomacy. He is shifting emphasis from military alliances to friendship alliances. He has become the world's foremost salesman ol world peace and friendship, a commod ity the people of all countries fer vently want. He is creating an etitirely new. and refreshing, image of America in the minds of the peoples of the world In the 15 years since the end of World War II the United States has placed emphasis on building the military and economic stre ngth of the Free World nations as a counter-force to spread of com munist influence. We have spent billions of dol lars in that effort, only to find! that we cannot buy friendship as) time of sorrow? What a support in time of trouble! In a word, what a god! 4. Last year our Church gave $243.95 per member to various departments. Did you realize, many families spend approxi mately this much or more for tobacco each year? What is going to be said before the great judge ment bar when 1000 missionaries are waiting to go. but no funds? When Churches and Mission Sta tions do not have the needed materials and are forced to close their doors because you loved tobacco more than God or to spread the Gospel. 5. To those who are not yet incorporated with the fashionable company of tobacco consumers I would say. "Never enter." To those who are entered. I would say. "Quit!" For the sake of your health: for the sake of your property, which, if you arc a poor man. must be considerably impaired by it: for the sake of your time, a large portion of which is irreparably lost, partic ularly in smoking: for the sake of your friends, who cannot fail to be pained in your company, for obvious reasons: lastly, for the sake of your soul. Do you think that God will visit you for your loss of time, waste of mon ey. and needless self-indulgence? Can you call yourself a Chris tian and still use tobacco? All I can say is that Jesus Christ wouldn't. If we would humble ourselves and repent, welcome the spirit of Christ to dwell in our hearts by faith we would do things as Christ would do them. "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, old things are passed away: be hold. all things are become new," 'II Cor. 5:17>. Selected? by E. E. CURTISS.j Pastor '? we would a sack of potatoes. It has resulted, more often, in creat ing suspicion of our motives and objectives The Perusal Teach President Eisenhower is bring ing to world diplomacy a new, friendly, personal touch that has too often been lacking in the past. He is placing emphasis on friend ship and mutual understanding rather than on cold war alliances. His trip last fall to Europe. Asia and Africa probably did more to enhance the chances of world peace than all of the bil lions we have spent to build mil itary alliances since the end of World War 11. No other President has ever travelled so widely, or has been so enthusiastically welcomed as a messenger of peace. He has made literally millions of new friends for the United States. The climax of his "crusade for peace" will come at the Summit Conference in Paris next May, followed by a 1 0-day visit to Rus sia in June, and thence eastward to Japan and other Far-eastern nations. He will carry with him the prayers of millions of people thruoghout the world, on both sides of the Iron Curtain, for "peace with honor." No man in almost 2.009 years has so inspired hopes of lasting "peace on earth and good will among men." Backward Glances By HATTIK PALMER IS YEARS AGO Efforts will be made in the next weeks to make ail four high way approaches to Murphy at tractive tor at least a mile, a "Model Mile" project undertaken' by the Murphy Regal Club. Mrs. : Johnsie Munn. chairman of the committee, states that assistance of the State Highway Commission and local agencies will be re quested. In order to promote the work of Girl Scouts in this six-county area, the Nantahala Area Girl Scout council has employed Miss Mildred Cartledge of Augusta, Ga.. as a field director. She will have headquarters at Western Carolina Teachers College, Cul lowhee. where she will give in struction two days a week to prospective Girl Scout Leaders. The Scou Dogwood Club is be ing continued this year, and names of all persons reporting that they have set out dogwood trees will be published as mem-' bers of the club. 20 YEARS AGO Wednesday marked the 35th an niversary of the chartering of the city of Andrews, according to the charter in possession of the city officials. Andrews was incorpo rated by chapter 133 of the pri vate laws of the state of North Carolina, at a session of the legislature in 1903. This act was ratified and became a law on Feb. 21. The hope of placing electric lights in every home in the Coun ty. no matter how isolated, has struck a serious snag. The dif ficulty lies in the cost of placing poles to carry wires to farm houses located anywhere from a quarter of a mile, to a mile or more from the main lines. Looking at the 1940 agricultur al picture in North Carolina from a production standpoint, prospects from crops are good, says E. C. J Blair, agronomist of the State ) College Extension Servicem.

Free Wheeling I Bt bill crowell STARTIN' . . . Somehow I have a hunch winter's got a few more cold kicks for us car owners be fore springtime. Which means cold weather driving and maintenance advice is still fashionable. Every one knows how much harder it is to get an automobile started on a refrigerated morning than on a warm one. The battery loses much of its starting puneh. the ignition seems sluggish and reluctant. Here then are a few tips to min imize the strain on your battery ?and your nerves? should win tertime temperatures prevail a while longer. Each night when you put your car away shift into neutral and run the engine at a fast idle for a few moments. Kill the ignition then depress the accelerator once. This will leave a small quan tity of gasoline to catch quickly the next morning. On manual shift cars always have the gears in neutral and the clutch depressed before starting. This lessens the load on the start er motor Turn off lights, heater, radio, etc before p rearing the starter to assure maximum voltage for the starter and ignition system. Drivers of cars with automatic chokes probably don't know that the choke must be set "on" by depressing the accelerator before starting. Hold the gas pedal down about half way prior to starting. If the engine balks don't grind away at it; you'll only run down the bat tery. Give your starter a "reet" every 10 or IS seconds to prevent It from overheating and possible Tf ffooding's your problem then you will smell raw gasoline. Let the car sit for a few minutes tten mash the accelerator to the Hear. Nest engage the starter for it seconds and. if the an president; Morilyn Helton, junior representative; Ruth .

CANN Health Director In the midst of a widespread contagious disease that has a his tory of recurrent epidemics over the years, all attention is focused on that disease and the presence of other contagious conditions are ignored or minimized. There are a few cases of whop ingcough in our county. This j means a rather long, drawn out. debilitating, if not exhausting ill ness in a child, with even death occurring in the very young. While this is early in the sea son, our cases usually reach a peak in early summer in the South, it is a good time to check on your childrens' immunization. Do they need a booster? Have i they completed their shots?' Whooping cough is a preventable disease and when immunization occurs too late to prevent, it does make the course of the disease much milder. Also, whooping cough is a dis ease that should be seen and 1 treated by your doctor. He can do much to lessen the course to- 1 day with his use of gamma glo bulin and proper antibiotics. Willis, in 1874 said. "Whooping Cough is left to the management of old women and aspirin." He was explaining the high death rate. On a spot-check Friday. Feb. 5th i last Friday > made by Health Department, a definite increase! in influenza-like disease was no ted. This week's spot-check on Feb. 12th by Health Department shows a considerable increase over last week. This is particularly so in the j absenteeism in the schools, point- 1 iag to younger groups having a good deal more "flu" than other i groups. Bake Sale Set Andrews ?
