Read Hebrews 11:1-7
? "Why art thou cast down, O my
soul? and why art thou disquieted
in me? hope thou in God: for I shall
yet praise him for the help of his
countenance. (Psalm 42:5)
In the short time that I have been
in college, I have already ex
perienced a frustrating disappoint
ment. I had considered myself to be
a good Christian. But during this
time 1 began to have second
thoughts about faith in God. I
couldn't help but wonder why He
had let such a thing happen to me.
I was confused and never at peace
with myself.
Then I re-read the story of Jesus.
1 realized that He had many
disappointments, but He never lost
His faith in the heavenly Father.
Even as He hung dying on the
cross, He continued to trust God.
1 realized that our disappoint
ments are relatively small com
pared to what Jesus had to
overcome. Yet we throw our hands
into the air and say "I quit"
whenever things don't go as we
would like them to. We should
observe Jesus as an example of
> never - ending faith and strive to be
like Him. When we do, we will find
the courage and strength we need
to live.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, forgive us
for the weaknesses in our faith.
May we realize that You have a
wonderful plan for each of our
lives. Help us to strengthen our
selves spiritually and always to have
faith, just as our Savior, Jesus
Christ, did. Amen.

massage parlors which had been
requested by commissioners earlier
this month.
Hostetler said the suggested
draft is a combination of the
Durham, Fayetteville and Cumber
land County ordinances. It sets
forth strict licensing requirements
for masseuses and masseurs, sets
fees and prohibits business except
between the hours of 8 a.m. and 10
p.m. It also bars massages given by
a member of the opposite sex.
DeVane urged that a section
barring Sunday business be written
into the ordinance, and also re
commended that the sheriff be
furnished with names of all em
ployees of any such establishment
within 24 hours, rather than seven
days.
Action on the massage parlor
ordinance is expected to be final
ized next month.
The board agreed to establish a
new position, a bookkeeper with
responsibility for all of the
C.E.T.A. programs, after Lester
recommended Vera McAllister for
the job. Lester also announced that
Shirley Rush would replace Gloria
Nash as bookkeeping supervisor.
Mrs. Nash is leaving the job to
move with her family.
The board also adopted a resolu
tion authorizing the requested in
crease in the N.C. Local Govern
mental Employees Retirement Sys
tem. The employer's share of the
cost will rise by .13 per cent.

BY JOHN SlEDGt
N C Fatm Buieau fedeiation
Thanks to modern agriculture,
our nation is the envy of most of the
world for the quantity and quality
of its food. And, in addition to
feeding our own people, we send
abroad the production of one acre
out of four to feed less fortunate
nations.
But in spite of this record of
human service, agriculture is
sharply criticized by some as a
major villain in environmental
pollution. There is the implication
that if we could somehow return to
the "natural" agriculture of old,
most of the environment problems
would disappear.
We in agriculture should not
expect to be immune from
criticism. We have some faults, and
in a number of ways we can, and
should, do better than we are
doing.
However, modern agriculture is
already doing more than most to
help clean up the environment. For
example, long before the current
wave of concern, farmers were
leaders in promoting the cause of
conservation, as witnessed by
contour plantings, terraces, grass
waterways, and other erosion -
control practices.
What about cleaner air? People
and factories and vehicles are using
up our oxygen and creating an
ever-increasing amount of carbon
dioxide. Modern agriculture helps
to clean up this air, by converting
carbon dioxide back to oxygen.
Each acre of 100 - bushel corn is
said to remove 8 tons of carbon
dioxide from the air, and replace it
with 7 tons of oxygen.
What about cleaner streams?
Modern agriculture minimizes the
number of acres which need to be
cultivated. It has been estimated
that without fertilizers and chemi
cals we would need 50 per cent
more acres of cropland. This would
mean exposing many millions of
additional acres to wind and water
erosion.
What about improving the
quality of our land? For more than
200 years the "old" agriculture was
depleting our soils. It is only in the
last 30 years that we reached the
state where we are putting more
into the soil than we are taking out.
Modern agriculture is a soil -
builder, rather than a soil - miner.
What about improving the
quality of life itself? Modern
agriculture makes it possible for
our nation's population to eat, at
prices they can afford. A return to
the "old" agriculture would sub
stantially increase the cost of food.
The efficiency of modern agri
culture is making a significant
contribution to the quality of life,
by keeping the cost of food within
reach of the maximum number of
people.
