BY JOHN SLEDGE N.C. Farm Bureau Federation For hundreds of years, a great deal of this country's population was not interested in conserving our environment. Past mistakes have accumulated and many now feel we must correct them all in one grand sweep. This is an impossible task, but should not stop us from making major headway. Those in agriculture learned many years ago that good conserva tion was a necessity by the very disciplines of good production that meant power and efficient use of land. If farmers overuse or misuse pesticides, insecticides or fertilizer, they pay the consequences in a lower net return. We need to understand that manures and animal wastes are the finest natural fertilizers available and are a part of the natural recycling process. Only through animals can unusable high cellu lose foods be transposed into one of the most relished foods in the world ?? meat. In this age of space exploration, scientists of the soil have confirmed that proper fertilization of farm crops to increase production also increases the use of carbon dioxide from the air and increases the release of significant amounts of oxygen to the atmosphere. These are but a few incidents in the vital story of our land and its ecology that we who are concerned with our environment must under stand and relate to the millions of people around us. Correct information, scientific solutions and understanding must be used in place of emotions, political schemes and half-truths if we are to cure the many environ mental ills. Background Scripture: Deuteronomy 26; Joshua 24. Devotional Reading: Deuteronomy 26: 1 - 1 0. In the Church of Our Savior in Washington, D.C. it is not enough to join the church just once. In fact, members join for just one year at a time and every twelve months must renew that decision if they want to remain members of that congrega tion. The reason for this rather unorthodox approach to church membership is the conviction by this congregation that church membership is very important and is likely to grow cold and vapid without periodical renewal and decision. No one belongs to the Church of Our Saviour simply because they filled out an applica tion for church membership ten. twenty, or thirty years ago. The Washington. D.C. church's unique approach to church mem bership is founded upon a concept WEDDING INVITATIONS AND ACCESSORIES Engraved & Beautygraved National Engraving Company AMERICAS LARGEST ENGRAVER by INCORPORATED 119 W. Elwood Ave Raeford, N. C. drawn from the Bible: commit ments and covenants need to be renewed by conscious choice. This was the situation that faced the twelve tribes of Israel in the latter days of Joshua's leadership. Decades ago while wandering in the Wilderness under Moses, the peo ple had made their covenant with God: He would be their God and lead them to the Promised Land and they would be his people, worshipping him alone. Now, hav ing occupied the land of Canaan under the generalship of Joshua, each tribe was settled down into its own parcel of the land and the great eras of Exodus and Conquest had ended. In the loose confeder acy they had established, each tribe was pretty much going its own way. Joshua sensed that, preoccupied with the tasks of establishing their separate tribal domains, the people of Israel might begin to forget the covenant they had made during the days of the Exodus. Thus, he summoned them to Schechem and reminded them of their heritage, of how God had brought them out of Egypt, sustained them in the wilderness, and led them into the land of Canaan. He reminded them of their agreement with God and called upon them to renew that covenant by consciously choosing once again whether they would faithfully serve God or the pagan gods of their neighbors. He was not willing to allow them to drift into paganism. If they were going to turn their backs on their covenant, then it must be a conscious choice: "...choose this day whom you will serve." We all make covenants. Perhaps, instead of assuming that, once made that is all there is to it, we ought to from time to time recon sider those promises and commit ments of baptism, marriage, and Christian discipleship. Usually, once is not enough. H. ZACK SMITH, D.D.S., M.S. ANNOUNCES THE OPENING OF HIS OFFICE FOR THE PRACTICE OF ORTHODONTICS SUITE 401.

[ Photo by S.H. Aplin] Lumbee River Co-op To Step Up Collections Lumbee River Electric Mem bership Corporation announced last week that the cooperative will accelerate its collection procedures effective immediately. According to general manager Deri J. Hinson, "the number of members who do not pay their electric bills within ten days after receipt of the bill is increasing monthly. Delinquent accounts amounted to over $280,000 in June." Hinson continued by saying that the accelerated program will hope fully reduce the number of delinquent accounts, "and we want to encourage each member to pay their electric service bill within the ten days allowed." Those who do not. will be subject to be dis connected without further notice. "Members who fail to pay their bill when received," he said, "regardless of the reason, almost always find it doubly difficult to pay for the electrical service if the service is extended another month." "In the past." he continued, "some members were allowed more than the ten days before discon nection, but this was due in part to a lack of manpower necessary to keep the cooperative's cut-off list up - to - date. Because of this, we are going to use construction and maintenance employees until the list is at a manageable level." "Members who pay their bills on time will not be affected by the accelerated collection procedure. Members with extreme hardships will be worked with on an individual basis." he said. New 'Ice Bin House' Fuels All- Year Comfort By Robert C. Radcliffe National Georgraphic Newt Now they've invented a house that "saves" cold February days to cool off stifling summers, and hot August days to take the chill off winter. And, at no extra charge, the homeowner saves up to 70 percent on his year - round heating and cooling costs. The house -- or the novel method of heating and cooling it -- is among the most promising in the increasing efforts to find economi cal substitutes for oil and gas as these natural resources get scarcer and more expensive. That's the way engineers size up the Annual Cycle Energy System house, or ACES house for short. It is also called "the ice bin house" because of the basement - size tank of water that sits under the living room, garage, or patio and freezes up every mid - winter. The idea of the ACES system, according to the National Geo grahic Society, is based on the fact that in much of the United States the heat you need to get rid of to be comfortable in your house during the summer is just about equal to what you must add to be warm in winter. Heart of the house's heating system is the heat pump, a variation of the machinery that keeps household refrigerators cold. The heat pump, once believed to be economically worthwhile only in the South, now is being used in more northern climates, thanks to improved technology and to the rising costs of fossil fuels. The heat pump does not burn gas. coal, or oil to produce heat or to run an air conditioner. Instead, it removes heat from the air outdoors and warms the house with it in winter, and pumps heat out of the house to cool it in summer. Electricity is needed not for heating but mostly to run the heat pump's compressor. In the ACES house, the heat pump takes heat not from the air but from the large tank of water that has gradually warmed through the summer. As the heat is absorbed, the water drops to ' freezing and starts turning to ice -- just as a pond outdoors freezes in winter's grip. Then, as spring days start turning into a hot summer, a reservoir of icy water is ready to cool the house. Coils of pipe, filled with water diluted with alcohol so it won't freeze, twist through the ice water tank. The water ? alcohol mixture is chilled and pumped continuously through a heat exchanger where air picks up the chili and blows it through the duct system of the house. By the time winter comes, the ice has all melted, and the water has picked up the summer heat taken from the house during the cooling days. The circulating water - alcohol mixture then begins slowly taking away the heat from the water and warming the house, again by way of the heat exchanger and air ducts. The most ideal climate for an ACES house is within a broad band across the map split by 36 degrees north latitude, a line 1hat runs within miles of Winston - Salem, N.C.. Nashville. Tenn., and Okla homa City. Farther south, backup air conditioning may be needed, and farther north supplementary heating, which could be solar. So far, test houses near Knoxville, Tenn., and Pittsburgh, Pa., have been successfully heated and cooled with ACES system, and in Wilmington. Del., a 60 ? bed Veterans Administration hospital will use the system. Students Attend Seminar Three Hoke High School students and an advisor attended a special seminar for yearbook staffs at Winston-Salem Hyatt House this week.
