C., under Act at March Srd, 1878. fHE FUTURE Farmers of North Carolina are wondering about the future. They are wondering what, how, where, why, who and when. They are ask-1 ing: "WHAT can we do to secure the future and prevent another depres sion?" Obviously, the answer to a secure future lies in a healthy econo my. And a healthy national econo my is based on agriculture. If there were no food to eat or fibre to clothe us, all the wealth of industry, finance and labor would amount to nothing. To secure the future of America, we must secure the future of agricul ture. ? I "HOW can we safeguard agricul ture, our basic industry?" The far mer will continue to produce enough to feed ^he nation and the world if he is guaranteed fair prices. He has demonstrated that. All he wants is an equal chance to share the bound less opportunity which is the heri tage of every American. - "WHERE are we. failing to give the farmer an even break?" Farm incomes ,t facilities for education, pub lic health, and home conveniences are below the national standard. Rural America produces more than its share of leaders, despite unequal op portunities. The biggest market for industrial goods is rural America. "WHY haven'< farmers been able to gain equality?" Because farm ers, unlike most other big national groups, have never been able to unite completely to speak for them selves. Regional differences between farming areas have always hindered the cause of a totally organized agri culture. "WHO can help the farmers get together and work for their best in terests?" Several farm organiza tions are already trying to do this job. Sixty per cent of the nation's united farmers belong to the Farm Bureau. ' It is the strongest group now serving as a medium for expres . sion "Of farmer-opinion. Action char acterizes the history of the Farm Bureau. Like any other truly demo cratic group, the Farm Bureau must have many members in order to ex press accurately what farmers are thinking. "WHEN can we help the Farm Bureau, which, is working for us?" Right now during the Nortl^ Carolina Farm Bureau campaign for 100,000 members. By supporting this drive, North Carolinians will be helping to protect our future, whether we are farmers or business-men, producers or consumers, rural or city dwellers. s THANKS "GIVING" TIME The Thanksgiving season approach es with a reminder that the more than 800 boys and'girls at'Oxford Orphanage present that many oppor tunities to benevolent men ana women desirous of making wise and loving contributions in behalf of needy children. For 75 years the Orphanage has continuously been in the business of caring for, educating and training orphaned children. Hie records of the 6,000 beys and girls trained - at the orphanage are impressive. Whilp the orphanage is wholly owned and operated by the Grand Lodge of. Masons, no child is barred from its benefits becanjw of non Masonic lineage. Scarcely 20 per cent of the children in the orphanage tbday have Masonic lineage. The question is never, who was the fath er or mother, but what is the need , to and .J** Btha grams, athletic^ trained workers, in several departments, pain and upkeep of ing and equipment,' work for the big family of AIL these "musts" and many others have -risen enormously in cost and thig must be adequately balanced or the children will suffer from neglect The orphanages of the state are adding fervor to their apepals this season. This is a matter of logic and figures. There is no way out of it They have got to fftid the money. Now, as you read thiB, is a fine time to make a donation. HEBER W. WORTHINGTON Heber William Worth ington,45, of Stantonsburg died in a Kinston hos pital early Tuesday morning follow ing several weeks' illness.

GERMANY'S NEED FOR BIBLES (Gilbert Darlington in the Bible Society Record ^ In spite of everything that has been done and will be done in 1947, 5,363,000 Bibles and 1,787,112 Testa ments are urgently needed in Ger many now. It is true that there are other shortages in Germany now. There is a great shortage of coal and water and food and many other things, but others are taking steps to remedy these shortages. It is the clear responsibility of our churches and Christian people to. see that a crushed and conquered Ger many has a real chance, through sin cere repentance, to find the path of enduring peace. The United States is helping Germany in material ways; the United States must also help Germany in spiritual ways. Those who believe that it is more blessed to give than to receive must them selves set an example that all the world can follow. Let it not be said, of a victorious America that, at the peak of her power and influence as a member of the United Nations, she did not know the things that belong unto her own peace. Only on the firm foundation of the Word of God can mankind hope to build a civilization based on justice and good will.
