B Croom, G. C. Tabor and E- D [l Melton of Old Fort, R. 1, and E ; J. Burgin of Marion, R. 4, are im ■ proving their pastures. [ These farmers say it takes preparation to have good pastures and now is the time to begin. ' They are taking out the brush in the pasture, cutting post, and stringing new wire where a fence is needed- If the pasture has not been limed recently, then any day I that the weather permits is a good time to spread lime on the pas ture. It has been said that pastures afford one of the most effective and economical means of holding and enriching the soil, provided they are' managed properly. Terrace lines were surveyed out last week on Miss Mary G. Bur gin’s farm, in cooperation with the Catawba Soil Conservation District. E. B. Garrett, State Conserva -1 tionist from Raleigh and J. D. Miller, District Conservationist from Newton recently visited the McDowell work unit of the Ca tawba district. SUNDAY SCHOOL MEET AT MARION TUESDAY NIGHT o Sunday School workers of the : 31 churches in the Blue Ridge Baptist Association met in the First Baptist Church of Marion Tuesday night for an association al Sunday School planning and inspirational meeting.

All pastors, Sunday School sup erintendents and workers were in vited and many were present. The Rev. R. L. Smith, general ; associational Sunday School sup ■ erintendent, presided.

Slagle, the Rev. D. C. Wesson, the Rev Gordon Wilson, W. R. Chambers, the Rev. Edward R. Roustio, and the Rev. Paul T. Brock. Sugar For Liquor Where does all the sugar go Certainly not to the individual who gets five pounds every four months, hardly enough to taste in his coffee and never a grain for the housewife to use in a pie. Much of it seems to go to the illegal liquor makers. A one-man still in Davidson county, a small affair, was found surrounded with sugar sacks which indicated he j had obtained somewhere 1,000 pounds of sugar. He didn’t get it with sugar cou ; pons, five pounds every four months. He got it from some . black market, and those in charge [ of the nation’s sugar might crack down on the black market instead • of trying to placate the public \ with a little sack of the sweet j stuff three times a year. The authorities should crack [ down, crack up and crack all . around the bootlegger and those t from whom he gets sugar. The c Davidson county moonshiner was . only a small potato; the big stills must use it by the half-ton a run. —The Charlotte Observer. r Marion Phone Manager Resigns From Company Mrs. Edna Smith has announced 3 her resignation as manager of the t Marion office of the Carolina - Mountain Telephone company, ef fective February 1. 3 Mrs. Smith said no one had been i named to succeed her in this po i sition and also said she plans to 3 remain in Mar ! on.

Devotional Reading—Psalm 84: 1-4, 9-12. Commnets to guide further I study by Rev. R. E. McClure, Ex ecutive Secretary of Asheville Presbytery, Presebyterian Church, U. S., based on the Uniform Series of International Lessons, Cycle of 1945-1950. Lesson treatments developed from Outlines copyrighted by the International Council of Religious Education. Outlines used by per mission. o When people recognize the fact of existing law, they also become conscious of a success or failure to meet the standards of the law. When the law is of God, man’s failure is the point of emphasis. Failure to meet the standards of God’s law is sin, whether the fail ure be that of omission or com mission. Man’s contentment and happi ness is linked with his conscious ness of sin. At the same time God’s revealed will for man pro-, vides for worship, an act that de-| pends upon fellowship with God. i Something therefore must count- j eract sin, for sin cannot exist in! God’s presence. The whole Bible is the story of redemption. It is complete in Jesus Christ. It was foreshad owed in the laws and ceremonies of the Old Testament. It was fore told by the prophet. It was ex perienced by those who exercised the faith in a God of redemption up to the light of their day and . the ability of their heart. The first step in this story of . redemption is linked with the con sciousness of the presence of God , at all times. For the children of . Israel this was difficult, particu , larly with a background of idola . try and Egyptian life. They need ! ed to learn that God is a spirit, not a golden calf. A careful reading of the basic: scripture reveals how God made known His abiding presence l through a tabernacle and the sym bolic significance of its furnish ings and ritual. Both of these latter require a study of Leviticus and the Epistle to the Hebrews for a full appreciation of their meaning. At this point in the Bible story the Primaries will learn to know ijj s V I WHEN IN NEED OF Lj I IS f., - I ||j| kitchen chairs I Before You Buy Your Furniture Come In || And Look Our Furniture Over ’ ' MODERATELY PRICED I NORTON’?

Outward forms are meaningless without the basic consciousness of God, His redemp tive love and His abiding pres ence. With these life is worth while. Without these the soul is lost. Double Boom ’ o ; Travel experts are looking for : a boom when the weather becomes open, and that will come. It can’t 1 snow and sleet all the time. The s tourists will venture out with the i robins, going south to meet the ■ birds coming north. What about the automobiles, the cars which are all dates at least 1941, and only a few of ' them, and some of them ten years ' of age, many of them rambling wrecks ? j We are a hardy people, an ad venturous and a daring people— ! often foolish, senseless people. Lack of new cars will not deter the travel-hungry people. Some will not come back or if they do only to be buried. While the travel experts look for a, . boom, so do the undertakers, and both will probably get what they expect.
