Mar. 11, 1965 uod's Only Gift Which AIL SHARE EQUALLY Anyone can see, of course, that the good things of life are not equally distributed. Some are born to good health; others with physical or mental afflictions. Some enjoy in abun dance the fruits of God's earth; others struggle through a life time of poverty. The unscrupu lous often gain wealth and pow er; the virtuous find "virtue its only reward." An all-wise and just God would obviously not allow such inequalities to exist without pro viding foe their ultimate com pensation. And we have His Word as to how this justice will eventually be meted out to both the mighty and the meek, the tich and the poor, the evil and the virtuous. In one thing only does God make us all equal. To each of us He gives a soul... to each the promise of everlasting life. Where the durability of our body may affect the years and the joys of life on earth, the purity of our soul will alone de termine our eternal destiny. Because it is not a physical thing that can be seen ot touched, some refuse to believe that there is a soul. Others neglect its care even though lavishing attention upon the health, nutrition and beauty of the body, whose ultimate des tiny is only dust. Even if we choose to reject God's certain promise of judg ment, reward and punishment ... as related in both the Old and the New Testaments . . . com mon tense must tell us that we have an immortal soul. For un less we have a soul, why should we have been endowed also with a conscience ... why should we even think of trying to choose between tight and wrong? Conscience tells us that we must pay (or our misdeeds. Yet in this life, the wicked are often the most prosperous; the just man the most afflicted. The world cannot compensate for such injustice, so where is justice to be done if not at the hands of God in the life after death which He has promised? There is nothing more impor tant in your life than an under standing of the nature of your immortal soul, and the function ing of in warning bell ? your conscience.

Frank Forsyth An altered version of Governor Moore's Sute High way Commission reorgan ization proposal cleared the Senate by unanimous vote, and was sent back to the House for action on amendments. The fourteen road districts in the State will be re presented by a Commissioner. Our District will constitute the counties of CHEROKEE, CLAY, GRAHAM. SWAIN, MACON, JACKSON, HAY WOOD, TRANSYLVANIA, HENDERSON, AND POLK, and will be called THE FOUR teenth highway dis trict. Each District will have a Highway Commissioner from that District. The new Highway Division set-up would call for a permanent Chairman and a Highway Administrator. The Administrator would be a career official who would have the right to hire and fire a Controller or secondary roads man. It was felt that this was putting too much power in the hands of the Administrator and it was changed to leave this power in the hands of the Chairman and the Highway Commission. A Joint Public WelfareSub committee has brought out an Adoption Bill, which would make independent placement of children in homes for ad option a misdemeanor. In dependent placement would be putting a child in a home without going through the welfare Department or one of the four licensed adoption agencies in the State. An ex ception would be made for such placement in the home of a child's residence. State welfare and adoption people feel that this legislation is much needed and would save in the long run much grief for the adopted child and / or ad opting parents. This bill is in for rough going, as the members of the Legislature generally feel that too much power is in the hands of the welfare already. I might add, in my opinion the adoption agencies are doing a splendid job in filling a much needed service in North Carolina. A bill was introduced in the House Wednesday which would ban D-B guns, which would include air rifles and air pistols In the list of dangerous weapons restricted from children's use. The measure would tighten up the existing law prohibiting children under twelve from using or possess ing guns, pistols and fire arms. Representative Hicks who introduced the bill said. "I have been talking to doctors and too many kids are getting their eyes shot out with these B-B guns and such." Of course these guns are dangerous and more so in a highly populated area. The bill would impose a maximum $60 fine or thirty days in jail on any parent or guardian who knowingly lets a child have or use these weapons. 1 do not know how this bill will fare. A bill was introduced at the request of the State Bureau of Investigation which would license private detectives in the use and operation of a lie detector. An applicant would have to show he had satis factorily completed formal in structions and had satis factorily completed not less than six months interneship conisiting of not less than fifty cases, using lie detector equipment. There was lots of laughter going on in the Legislature this week as an anti-necking bill was introduced. Someone suggested that the bill be sent to the Special Committee on the Status of Women in North Carolina, but Speaker Pat Taylor, with a stnile.an nounced that it would go in stead to the Propositions and Grievances Committee. Some thought it ought to go to Wil<2ife. However, parlia mentary inquiry was not called for. The bill would impose a maximum penalty of $50 or thirty days in jail against any driver who steered or operated a motor vehicle on any public road of the State while embracing a companion or resting an arm on or be hind the seat of the companion. Several House members told me that it was a good bill when they finished laughing about it. dui i C^orner By Bagley Learning About Gaskets A fellow 1 work with, Bill Floyd, was telling me about his daughter, Judy, and her compact car. Said not long ago his brother asked Judy what kind of mileage she got with it. Here is what she told him: When the gage shows a quarter full I can drive a hundred miles before the needle gets I to empty, then it only takes a I dollar's worth of gas to bring J it backto the quarter mark." I ain't figured that out yet j but I am working on it. So [ is Bill. And I hope he has I better luck with the problem than I have had up to now. 1 would check back with him about it but 1 don't want him to know how ignorant I am , about arithmetic. But 1 don't mind admitting that 1 am mighty ignorant about cars ?nearly as much as lam about arithmetic. My B.W. also doesn't know too much about 'em, however, she knows a right smart about arithmetic. I have thought some about submitting the above problem to her to see if she could figure out the mileage Bill's daughter is get ting. But the car factor in the problem would baffle her I'm sure. She just knows two things about a car. When it'll run and when it wont. Oh yeah, she can also tell when they get hard to steer. One day she came back from town and told me I'd just have to get something done to the car on account of how hard it was to steer. I asked her how long she had been noticing this trouble. She said, "Oh, not Jong, just from town back home." Fifteen miles can be a cons iderable time, especially, with * ^*t tire. That was the cause of the steering trouble. Her sister tells this story on her when she was first learning to drive. They were out cruising around one Sunday afternoon when Mary suggests that she pull in at the next station and get some gas and have the oil checked. She stopped at the next station and told the attendant to "fUl 'er n>- and check the oU. Which he did. When he checked the oil he told her it was in good shape? only about a half pint low. I reckon she figured that since she was drivliwher sister* car she had better take care of the whole works. So, she told the fellow to fill that up also. I am glad I understand mora about car* than she does. For Instance, I can even change the oil In one. Why not long ago 1 ,0 <fc Just that with Ole Faithful". Let me just tell you about that. You remember last week I told you that Ole F aithful was my ancient and dependable Ford? Since it had been 10 or 12 ,000 miles since the oil had been changed 1 knew it needed doing. So, to save a little money I was gonna do it myself. An other reason I wanted to take care of itpersonally was cause I felt like O.F. would apprec iate my personal touch, rather than her always having to submit to strangers fooling with her innard. With the "connections" 1 have it was no trouble getting the oil and the filter cartridge on " the lowkey "?wholesale to you.With that transaction I saved nearly a whole dollar. And I am a firm believer in one of Papa's favorite old say ing: "A penny savedis apenny earned". 1 assembled a supply of tools. It just wont do to start a job like this without plenty of good tools. I got the front end jacked up and it was no trouble a tall getting the old oil out. But 1 did have somewhat of a problem getting the oil filter loose from where some crank of an engine designer had stuck it. Before I finally managed it 1 learned all over again what dirt tasted like, and besides that I found out how burnt motor oil tasted. And I have wondered ever since if new oil tasted any better. At long last 1 got the filter back on and with my assort ment of tools, managed to tighten it real tight. And I was proud of that buck I had saved In a simple little operation that only took about two and a half hours. Then 1 cranked her up, you know, to check for leaks. It sure was surprizing how fast six quarts of oil could be pumped out on a basement floor. Incidentally, I'd like to point our right here to all pros pecitve do-it-yourselfers, It is a mighty good idea always to put gaskets back when you Uke them of ?especially on sil filters.
