I is now and has always been the I Light of the World. He was not I always known by the name "Jes us", but .it is He who has brought 'salvation to Adam's race. In the infinite wisdom of God it became Jesus to be the "Ligit that lightetb every man that Com eth into the world" Like the first j glimmer of dawn the light shown, but dimly, in the early morning of human history when He i Je hovah of the Old Testament* in mercy offered the first sacrifice and made garments of skins for the first guilty pair. But it was in the appearing of Jesus, the incarnate "Logos" 'God made manifest in the flesh! that the "Sun of righteousness i Mai. 4:2i arose in full orb, the Light of the World." Throughout the ages of the past the Sun has been a great mys tery. how it sustains its energy and keeps flooding the earth with its all important rays to vegeta tion and human life. Light, we are told, is radiant energy which, transmitted from a luminous body to the eye by waves in the luminous ether acts upon the organs of sight. In like manner waves of Light come the benighted spirits of men through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is one of the peculiar char acteristics of the gospel, however, that rays of the gospel light reg ister only where hearts are sen sitive to receive them. Light may shine ever so profusely, but) the blind possess no sense of' sight, and consequently receive! 110 light. Thus when Jesus came and the "true light" poured forth its ra- | diance. multitudes did not receive it and stumbled at Him. "And the light shineth in the darkness: and the darkness comprehendeth j it not" i John 1.5>. Nevertheless! the Light of the World shines on. Youth Night Set At First Baptist j "Becoming A Mature Christian"! is the theme for Youth Night ati the First Baptist Church, Mur-! phy, Sunday at 7:30 p.m. Ray Sims will bring the ser-i mon and other youth will preside,! lead in prayer and bring special I music. All young people are espiciallyj invited to attend. STOP! LOOK! LISTEN! REPUBLICANS Don't be fooled by a small "STOP ROLLMAN" group who in a secret meeting, without consult ing a single elected official of the Republican party of Buncombe County or the 12th district finally succeeded in filing a candidate for Con gress. They just made the DEADLINE by the skin on their teeth or like when "Casey beat Molly by the foam on his bits." They promised to deliver the votes for their candidate in Bun combe, Henderson, and Haywood. I doubt that they can deliver one single county in the 12th dis trict in the May 28th primary. I question their loyalty to the Republican party and I am sure that they do not have its best interest at heart. These so called leaders to my knowledge have never done any work for the Republican party of Bun combe County or the 12th district. This has all the EARMARKS of a Democratic trick. They are scared and they are trying to use the Republicans to defeat the Republicans ? to make certain their victory in the general election. Mr. Rodman, we welcome you into the Republican party. We need you, you need us, and everyone in the 12th district needs you in Congress. James J. Britt, Jr. For your information, I am not Mr. Rodman's campaign manager. I am not obligated to him other than that I want to see the 12th district have competent representation in Congress. f??M P*. A*r. TIIIS WEEK ?Ii fnhlBgtM With Ctintoa Davidson One of the simple la ws of pby*- j ! ics we learned as a child is that I when a swing goes far out in one direction the force of gravity i invariably pulls it back to center and then momentum carries it out in the other directioo. In more than 3D years of asso ciation with Washington we have learned that there exists a similar and equally true phenomena in government. Public opinion, in this case, serves the same function as gravity does in the example of a swing. Congress and the administrative agencies of government react to public opinion in the same manner as an object, such as a swing or pendulum, reacts to gravity. One excess almost invariably is fol lowed by an excess in the oppos ite direction. Big Business The colonists reacted to exces sive taxation by the British with violence that erupted at the Bos ton Tea Party. An early Congress enacted trade barriers and tariff walls to halt cheap competition from abroad. Business, protected by high tar riffs and aided by cheap labor, odopted a policy of "the public be damned" and in the process accumulated huge personal for tunes. A wave of public resent ment forced through Congress an titrust and other repressive laws, some of which have since been modifeid. At the time of the formation of Standard Oil and the U.S. Steel Corporation, the pendulum was far on the side of the power of big business. The excesses that occurred in this period resulted in the pendulum starting to swing toward government regulation. ' The public demanded "protec tion" from the excesses of big business. Congress created Die In terstate Commerce Commission, the Federal Trade Commis sion, and the Anti-trust Division in the Justice Department. The pendulum had begun to | swing away from business. Teddy Roosevelt gave it quite a push j and later his cousin. Franklin, | helped push it further. Congress created the Federal Communica tions Commission, the Securities | Exchange Commission, the Civil | Aeronautics Authority, the TVA, i N"RA and other alphabetical con- I trol agencies. I Labor's Turn While business was being diack- i led with regulations. Congress pas- | sed the Wagner Labor Relations . Act which gave labor many ad vantages. including exemptions from anti-trust regulations impos ed on business. The result was Big Labor in the place of Big Business. Irresponsible labor leaders pro moted a reign of intimidation and, in many instances, lawless terror through strikes and violence. Gov ernment sanctioned, and in some cases, encouraged those excesses. Recent hearings and investiga tions by the Senate McClellan Committee into ialwr oinun prac tices have shown wry clcarjy .that the pendulum has swung too far on labor's side. They show Cut legislative advantages given labor have been misused and in some instances have endangered the democratic principles of seU govemment. Public opinion has begun to de mand that the government curb the activities of such labor offi cials as James Hoffa. The pen dulum has begun to swing away from labor dictators and the in nocent will suffer with the guilty. i Editor's note: The second col umn in this series will discuss irresponsible procedures of gov ernment regulatory agencies. Soil Conservation News By JOHN S. SMITH Have all of you who intend to plant pasture or alfalfa in April or May gotten your soil samples off yet? If not, go out right now and take a sample of the fields you plan to seed this spring. You can get a reply in two weeks or so if you act now. If you wait until the big rush begins, your report may come back too late to do you any good. Actually, you should have sent in sampies last Oc tober for spring plantings, but in the event that you did not, don't delay any longer. It takes about six months after application for lime to become readily avail able, so lime should be spread at least this long in advance of planting dates. Most people think that alfalfa does best when seeded in the fall, due to the competition with weeds when it is seeded in the spring.: Good stands can be obtoined from spring plantings, however. No al falfa should be seeded anytime, spring, or fall, without inocculat ing the seed with nitrogen-fixing bacteria immediately before plant ing. All legumes depend on a special bacteria for survival, and tor the ability to extract nitro gen from the air The bacteria necessary for many ?varieties of legumes are naturally present in the soils of this region, but the particular strain needed by alfal fa is not. This bacteria must be put on the seeds before planting or the young alfalfa plants will die after looking perfectly nor mal for from one to three weeks. Several farmers have planted al falfa at considerable expense on ly to lose the entire investment because they failed to spend sev enty five cents for a can of al falfa bacteria inoculant. which can be obtained locally or by or dering from any reputable seed dealer. When you start your spring plowing, don't forget to disk all the old stalks, weeds, leaves, or any other organic matter into the soil. It is easier to burn the organic matter off than it is to disk it into the soil, but organic matter is the best soil condition er available, and is just as im portant to good plant growth as fertilizer. Every stalk, root or leaf that you turn back into the soil will add to the amount of rainwater which that soil can ab sorb and hold. Soil which con tains little or no organic matter will be able to absorb only a small quantity of rain fall. The water which it does absorb will evaporate rapidly in hot weather On the other hand, soil which is high m organic matter will ab sorb large quantities of rain fall, and will hold it for a much longer time without allowing the water to evaporate. Not only does organic matter hold water, but it will hold the fertilizer you apply to your corn, soybeans, or garden crops until the crops can use it. Soil without organic matter will allow much of the fertilizer you apply to be leached out by rain water and carried off to the creeks and eventually to Hiwassee Lake. Now fertilizing a farm fish pond is a sound i dea, but buying expensive fertilizer for your crops, and al lowing it to fertilize Hiwassee Lake is not such a sound idea. Put organic matter in your soils and help keep your fertilizer at home. Social Security Offers New Pamphlets Eleven pamphlets explaining the various phases of the Social Security Act ere available free of charge to residents of Cher okee County, according to Grady Grubbs, field representative for this area Any of these pamphlets can be obtained by simply writing the AsheviUe District Office. 40 North French Broad, giving pamphlet title, number, and your name and address These pamphlets are a mong (he most popular printed by the Federal Government. Mr. Grubbs points out that the rapid growth of the Social Secur ity program, with Us many rights and benefits, makes it desirable that all working persons and their dependents keep informed. These pamphlets, simply written and 11 mrated. are lesigned to meet that need. Th's Is The Law liy "Ox :JIT K l.Efc (l'?r i he V r.

Is there any advantage in a husband and wife filing a joint federal tax return'' In most cases the computation on a joint return will tie more advantageous than if separate re turns are filed. The instances i where there are exceptions are rare. In a joint return the tax is com puted as if each had one - half of the total net taxable income, litis "splitting of the income" usually effects a substantial tax saving There is only one tax return filed, signed by both the husband and the wife. It is not necessary that the wife have an income. A joint return can be used even if all of the in come is earned by one spouse. If a joint return is filed the tax is computed on the combined income and deductions of berth spouses and the husband and wife are each liable for the entire tax. All income of husband and wife must be reported regardless of amount. May persons other than married couples filed a joint tax return? No. However, the split-income benefits accrue to spouse for a period of two years following the death of either, provided a home is maintained for a depend ent child, and the widow or wid ower remains unmarried for this period. WALTER B. OWENBY Walter Owenby Receives Scholarship WINSTON-SALEM - Walter Boyd Owenby. son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed P. Owenby of Rt. 2. Murphy, has been named one of 29 winners of George Foster Han kins Scholarships at Wake Forest College. Owenby was selected from a mong 60 finalists who advanced from January screening tests to final tests and interviews held at the college Mardi 18-19. The scholarships range in four-year value from $1,600 to $4,800. The winners were announced by Wil liam G. Starling, director of the and assistant director of admis sions. The Hankins Scholarship pro gram was started in 1953 through income from a one million dollar estate left the college by Col. George Foster Hankins of Lexing ton. A Murphy High School student. Owenby is president of the Stu dent Council and treasurer of the Automotive Mechanics Club. U North Carolina a "nmoMWty; prperty Mate."? No Tltere arc only eight stales' that have statutes creating cotn rmauly ownership of properly between husband and wile. They are Ariama. Idaho, loitiiang. Nevada. New Mexico, Texas, and Washington . \ Generally speaking, community; property in these eight states con sist a i property acquired by either of the spouses during marriage. ICxceptions are usually made in respect to property acquired dur ing marriage by gift or inherit ance. such property remaining separate property of the recip ient. Property owned by either spouse at the time of the marri age continues as his or her separ ate property. Who pays the tax on income re ceived from real property in North Carolina owned by a husband and wife as "tenants by the entirety"? The husband. This is because in North Carolina the hubasnd has an absolute and exclusive right to all rents and income from land owned by him and his wife as "tenants by the entirety." Since it is the husband who is entitled by law to the income from the real estate so held, it is the husband who must pay the in come tax thereon. If the husband and wife file a joint return, the question of why is entitled to the income from rear estate held by them as "tenants by the entirety" is of little import ance. because of the split-income benefits available on such return. A "tenancy by the entirety" is created whenever real property is conveyed by deed or by will to two persons who are at tbe time husband and wife. LETTER TO! THE EDITOR The Editor: As president of the local chap ter of the N.C. Symphony So ciety I want to thank you for your cooperation and help in our recent membership drive. The publicity which you were able to give us played a large part in raising the necessary funds to bring the Symphony to Murphy. A letter has just come to me from the state president of the N.C. Symphony Society asking us to help raise an "Emergency Fund" to help the Symphony with added expenses which resulted from disrupted schedules follow-' ing the three big snows of re cent weeks. Murphy and ether communities which were fortu nate enough to hear the Little Symphony are asked to try to raise $100 for this Emergency Fund. We believe there are enough people in Murphy who enjoyed the recent concert enuugh i tliat they will want to contribute to this fund. Mrs. Holland Mc 1 Swain will be glad !o receive any contribution to help in this emerg ency. Sincerely your';, Mrs. R. T. Houts, Jr. New Scout Den Organized Here , Organization of a new Cub Scout !tlen was announced at the March > pack meeting last week, with Mrs. I J. B.

The Senate Ium been discussing the civil rights bill reported last week from the Judiciary Committee Fortunately the bill passed by the House was referred to our Cam-! mittee where substantial amend ments were voted. DUE PROCESS OF LAW - I sti glad that one of the prin ciples laid down in the Constitu tion of the United States' is the Principle which is found in the Fifth Amendment: "No person shall be deprived of Life, liberty, or property without due proceess of law. That is the constitutional pro-; vision which is binding upon the Federal Government and is bind ing on Congress when Congress! undertakes to exercise the legis-; lative power of the Federal Gov-! ernment. Let us see what is meant by j the expression "due process ot law," which the Fifth Amend ment requires the Federal Gov ernment and Congress, when Congress is exercising the leg islative power of the Federal Government, to observe in re spect to all persons. The essential elements of due process of law are notice and an; opportunity to be heard and to defend in an orderly proceeding! adapted to the nature of the case before a tribunal having juris diction of the case. VOTING REFEREES - During the course of the debate last week i Did You Know By JERUE BABB The custom of wearing new! clothes on Easter Sunday dates from the early days of Christian ity, when newly baptized Christ-: ians were clothed in garmentsl of white linen. Baptism has always been closely associated with Eas ter. Just as the Resurrection re presents the new life of Christ, so baptism represents the initiation of the believer into a new life. In the early Church. Lent was the annual season of preparation for baptism, and the sacrament was' celebrated on Holy Saturday dur-j ing the Easter Vigil. Eventually all Christians began to dress up for a joyful parade through town The rabbit may have become a I symbol of Easter because of the moon. Some ancient people con sidered the rabbit a symbol of! the moon, and the moon deter mines the date of Easter. I spoke at length in the Seute against the star chamber pro ceedings (or referees as provid ed for in the original bill. In so far as the proceeding be fore a voting referee is concern ed. we have a very peculiar pro vision. There are these stages in the proceedings before the ref eree: First, a voter of the race of those who have been found to be discriminated against, but who has not been discriminated against himself because of his race or color, must make an ap plication to the referee. Second, the referee must con duct a hearing on the applica tion. However, under the term* of the original bill this hearings is to be ex parte. Third, after the referee has conducted this ex parte proceed ing, he makes a report to the court, which report is in effect the judgment of the referee. Fourth, the court thereupon issues a notice to show cause to the State official, which notice to show cause for the first time acquaints the State official with the judgment of the referee. Fifth, the State official is then permitted to file exceptions to the referee's report and have a hearings before a judge, unless the judee takes the peculiar action which is authorized by this provision of the bill: "The issues of fact and law rais ed bv such exception shall be de termined by the court or. if the due and speedy administration of justice requires, they may be referred to the voting referee to determine in accordance with procedures prescribed by th^ court." Under that provision of the bill it is quite possible that the State official never does have a hear ing before the judge. This is true because this provision of the bill authorizes the judee to send the matter back to the referee and to let the referee pass on the question of whether he. the ref eree, has committed an error of law. I would dislike to have to trv a case before a man who had alreadv decided the case, when the onlv chance 1 wou'd have of winning the case would be the finding by that man that he haH made a mistake when he trifd the ease in the first place.
