Y outh choir continues spirit The Frances Purcell Voices of Consolation of St. James United Church of God is a group of young people annointed by God to minister to people in song. .

The person who is responsible for this choir coming together is Minister Frances Purcell, the assis tant pastor of St. James United Church of God, Raeford. She has helped and influenced the lives of so many.

Fam la ran Federatloa If the government took tome ac tion to weaken the strong dollar that's hurting agricultural exports so badly, would it do any good? That's a tough question which needs to be handled by financial experts . . . and what do they think?. Well, they start by listing the ad vantages of a strong dollar. They say it holds down inflation, helps finance the U.S. deficit by attract ing foreign money into our economy and they say the strong dollar contributes to bringing down interest rates. What would a cheaper dollar do? The experts say it would push up inflation because it would make the price of imported goods higher . . . and with less foreign competi tion, prices of many items would rise. This whole process would lead to less foreign money floating around in our economy. And they say, this drop in foreign invest ment would eventually increase in terest rates. The conclusion of the Reagan administration's financial advisors is that the advantages of having a strong dollar overseas outweigh the disadvantages of a weaker dollar. The administration's financial experts feel it would be better to have a gradual decline in the value of the dollar and feel it would be better to let this happen . . . and observe the action . . . rather than take action to force it to happen. They add that a drastic drop could injure economies in many foreign countries. There is some action the federal government can take that would lower interest rates and directly help farmers . . . and that is . . . cut federal spending. ? 2 CUSTOMER SERVICE <L/? Dundarrach, N.C.

A man appeared, all clad in white, and asked me, "Is it left , or is it right?" "To whit," he cried, "the riyht leads to life, while to death leads the left." "May I ask, sir, who you are?" He opened his hand, and I saw the scar. The message of Easter unfurled its power. I made my choice to cross right, that hour. There's a crossing in your life. Will it be left, or will it be right?
