For years Mock market people will recall what took place on the -stock markets across the nation on Wednesday. July 7th following Joseph Granville's admonition to "Sell everything" on Tuesday even ing. While I am not a stock market expert by a "country mile". I do subscribe to the Wall Street Jour nal. which can mean very little. Joseph Granville publishes the Granville Market Letter, of Holly Hills. Florida and over-night changed his advice from "buy" to "sell" everything, and "sell every thing" lots of stock owners did. On Tuesday. Jan. 7 ? "b. 45b. 1 40 shares of stock were sold and 182.800 warrants on the New York Stock Exchange. On Wednesday after Granville's flash to "Sell everything" the New York Stuck Exchange volume reached 101 .. 12b. 250 shares which were sold along with 428.100 warrants. The American Stock Exchange more than doubled its previous day's trading. Granville's "Sell everything" ad monition shows how nervous stock buyers arc. No doubt that the Gramille Market Letter will have a big rise in circulation after its big reaction on Januarv 8th. PL F FED LP PENSIONS ... In an editorial in the Pender Post, Editor Keubin L. Moore calls attention to "Putted Up Pensions" which seemcs to be timely. We quote: "According to Newsweek. Reagan advisors view Federal pen sions as a prime example of bloat in the budget. Their citing of the late John McCormack's pension is a good example ot their charge. McCormick was speaker of the house until he retired. Though his highest salary in the house was Sb2.500 a year, cost of living increases drove his pension up to y>2.000 b\ the time of his death. " I his is absurb." says the edi torial. "Members of the congress ought to get fair pay. the work is important and Washington is an expensive place in which to live ... Given that inflation eats tip the values ot a fixed-rate pension, cosi ot-li\ mg increases make sense. hut ihc) ought to be controlled. No former member ot congress ought to make so much, let alone more than a current member." BOONF-: WINDMILL ... Since its inception I have been interested in the big Boone Windmill which was to be a government test to determine it a big windmill on a high hill would prove worthwhile lor producing energy. From reading a letter in the "Watauga Democrat" written by Michael R. Patricelli ot Boone, it appears that some ot those living close to the Windmill are tired and ted up with the project. Evidently the project, thus tar. has been lar from producing the clcctricitv dreamed about. CAPE H ATTERAS LIGHT HOUSE-!... We have been interested in the preservation ot the Cape Hatlcras Lighthouse in the Manteo area. Six different options lor the preservation of the historic lighthouse have been suggested costing from $2.5 million to $1 million with a maintenance cost over 100 years at more than S62 million, according to reports in the Cmist/aiiil film's. HISTORY MAKING ... Gov ernor Jim Hunt and Lieut. Gov ernor Jim Graham broke more (ban a 100-year precedent last Saturdav when they took the oath i ?l office lor a second lour-year term. Now a hi t Ic history about our Tar Heel governors: In the early colonial days before our indendcncc was won. we had "proprictarv governors" through 1 -.11. Then through 1 ""4 we had Royal Governors. From 1 77b through 18.16 North Carolina governors were elccted by the General Assembly, and could be re-elected. In 1Mb North Carolina gov ernors w ere elccted by the people. It was in Governor Hunt's first term ot oltlce that the people voted a change in the North Carolina Constitution to make it possible for the governor and the lieutenant governor to serve a second term il elected by the people, and this the people did in I^KO.

Read John 1:6-14 Come, let us walk In the light of the Lord. ? Itaiah 2:5(RSV) Driving one night from Corozal toward Belize City, in Central America, we faced an emergency. The generator in our Land Rover conked out. We were in the third of three vehicles conveying our miss ioner group of seventeen persons. As our headlights gradually dimm ed. we trailed behind. The others stopped to wait for us. and we told them our problem. We suggested our vehicle take a position between the others to benefit by their headlights, ahead of us and behind us. In this manner we continued our journey. In life, none of us goes on without the light of others: ?the light offered in our homes and schools: ?the light available in our churches; *the light from those who love us; ?above all. the light of God revealed in the Bible, especially the life of Jesus. How astonishing that so few ^ persons see Jesus Christ as the light! As His Friends, we have many ways to spread His light. We can witness and encourage persons around us. "Come, let us walk in the light of the Lord." Prayer: O God, how miserable we would be and how meaningless our lives without the light You have given us In Christ, Your Son! In His name we offer our thanks. Amen. < THOUGHT FOR THE DAY We give light by reflecting light given us.

" When\buteTalking; Long Distance, These AreXhe Good Old D^iysT Wouldn't it be nice to step into the past to do your shopping. Fifty years ago, for instance, sw . . ** ? ' t -it . ?

Yet, 50 years ago, the cost of a three minute phone call to California was $9. 00. Today you can make that same call for less than $1.00.
