family Doctors
.f We aft told - nd hope it's true
o- that family doators.'once on the
.Werge of extinction, are making a
fcomebaok. That's the result of a
efook at the medical picture by an
NEA writer, who reports there
are" now m rauy pracuce
residency programs in operation
.in the United States.
tx The difference between family
.sractice and general pracuce,
vft's explained, l that family
doctors Concentrate on families
jwitha continuoul care program,
including emphasis on
preventative medicine. The
general practitioner, it's said, is
pmore concerned with treating
jjthose who are already ill, aiding
la epidemic work. etc.
fc The family doctor inage, in
the United States and in many
other western countries, has
traditionally been a noble one.
The doctor was often the most
important and loved man in the
community, rendering in
valuable service at all hours. But
that image has sometimes
changed in recent decades, to
various degrees in various
communities. And the trend
among doctors has been toward
specialization (In 1931 74.5 per
cent of all doctors were family
doctors; in 1968 the percentage
had dropped to 18.)
There is still and always has
been a great need for family
doctors. The new family practice
residency programs at various
medical schools throughout the
country are, therefore, a wel
come development. They might
somewhat restore the family
doctor image in the nation as
they increase the number of
family doctors.
Letter to Editor
To The Editor:
. Understanding that this
newspaper welcomes letters and
opinions on any subject, I would
hke to say someting for faith in
Cod.
Because God brought man into
existence, He is responsible for
man's well-being. To reveal love
and responsibility for His
created man, first, God the
Master Designer, created earth,
a place for man to live. Then, He
worked out a plan whereby man
could commune with and have
faith in the Creator - a way that
man could draw upon a higher
ability or power, to meet the
necessities of life.
So that all may receive and
none misunderstand, God gave a
simple plan, a means by which
frail man could reach up and
draw upon the unseen Creator. In
this simple way, God gave
premises in the Bible to cover
our needs. Then when we believe
a promise enough to act upon it,
God grants the need - this action
is called "faith."
To better understand this
action of faith, let us look at it in
this manner: Usually, God gives
an order or commandment with
the promise - something for us to

Area Legislators Asked
To Reinstate
The ' Albemarle Area
Development Association
Agriculture Committee Voted to
ask area Legislators to reinstate
"B" Budeet reauests for
research and Extension work on
field crops at a recent meeting in
Edenton. This committee
represents farmers in the ten
county Albemarle Area. Their
assignment is to improve the
economic situation of the
Albemarle farming community.
North : Carolina State
University "B" Budget requests
for research to provide funds for
"Breaking Barriers to Field
Crop Yield, Mechanization and
Utilizaation" and extension
requests for "Breaking Barriers
to Field Crop Yield and Per
formance" have been disallowed
bv the Advisory Budget Com
mission. These funds must be
reinstated to keep North
Carolina agriculture moving
forward. The money is needed
for research and extension work
on crops important to our area
farmers.
Livestock and vegetable crop
production and marketing were
also discussed at the meeting.
Jack Parker, Area Livestock
Specialist, informed the com
mittee that livestock income in
our ten counties during 1970 was
approximately 17 million dollars.
Hog production is up from nine
million to 14 million dollars in the
last five years and cattle from 2.5
to three million. One of the areas
greatest needs in hog production,
according to Jack Parker, is
research on sow confinement.
This work could be conducted at
the Tidewater Research Station,
but funds requested for this work
were also disallowed by the
Advisory Budget Commission.
Bill Reid, Area Horticulture
do, and by our obedience and
actions to the promise we show
respect to God and faith in His
promises.
In' the simplicity of God's
promises and our responding
acts of faith, we, more times
than not, do not consider their
importance, and thereby miss
the results - God's best for us. As
proof of this, look at some
promises and acts of faith in
what; is known as the Great
Commission (Mark 16:15-18).
Herein are some orders -someting
for us to do - given by
Jesus Himself which are so
fantastic and yet so simple
that most people do not even
bother with looking into them,
much less believing in them.
Since man is made up of two
departments - body and soul -God,
in every provision He has
made for man, included the
whole man. Having the complete
man in consideration, Christ said
in these powerful words of His
commission: "He that believeth .
shall be saved; . . ." Among
other things, as a sign or mark to
identify Christians from the rest
of the world, He said, " . . . they
(Christians) shall lay hands on
the sick, and they (the sick) shall
recover," (Instead of miracles
being a problem to Christians,
they themselves, through faith In
Jesus' words, should be able to
minister miracles to others.
Without argument, the laying
on of hands seems void and
empty to the natural man, but to
the believer this action of faith
brings results. It is doing what
GOD said. In all good reason, we
know there is no miracle power
or virture in anyone's hands, but
the secret of the promise lies in
this: Believe the promise enough
to act on it - this is faith. We
prove our faith by our actions.
Your miracle could be no further
away than one action of faith in
the promises of God's word.

"B" Budget
Specialist, reported that
vegetable crop production has
increased from 5.3 million in 1963
to 9.7 million dollars In 1970.
One of the more exciting
agriculture ventures for the
future of this area could be grape
production. Prosperity has come
to the U.S. wine industry and our
area has all of the requirements
for sharing In this prospertity.
We have the soils and climate
suitable for growing Scup
pernong type grapes, established
markets, support of our
University specialists, and
people with enough deter
mination to make grape
production a success. New
varieties and mechanical har
vesting make this venture more
exciting. , ,.
The Agriculture Committee is
planning a grape production
meeting for March, which will
bring together potential
growers, buyers, and grape
specialists. If anyone reading
this article is interested in
growing a crop which can gross
up to $2000 per acre, please
contact your County Agricultural
Extension Office, about the
proposed Larch grape meeting.
Things That
Never Change
Skies are just as blue as ever,
Sunshine follows rain,
Flowers still are blooming
Over hill, and vale, and plain,
Day-light follows darkness,
Spring will come again
Thank God for these blessings
Things that never change.
Singbirds still are warbling
Their sweetest melodies-
Their way down toward the seas
Sunsets are as beautiful
As they used to be,
Rainbows span the heavens
In all their brilliancy.
God's love is all about us
Thank Him for these blessings:
Things that never change.

Sir John Colleton would never recognize
the spot which was named for him. This is
probably because he never saw the placebut
Collington Island was granted to the nobleman
on September8, 1663.
A company under Peter Carteret colonized
Collington in 1665. Since then, things have
moved right along, and colonization still seems
to be underway.

If we could build o fence around the world, would we respect
our limitations and live happily with one another? Would we stop
wars? Probably not!
You can fence in physical objects but not the minds and hearts
of mankind.
Nor can we be forced to live in peace. Peace cornel through
practicing love, faith and tolerance an understanding of God and
His Church. Then, remember World Day of Prayer. Determine not
to build a fence around yourself, or around anyone else. Instead,
enlarge your horizons through the common voice of prayer. '
What better place to start than in the Church?

LIVING BY THE LAW OF LOVE
International Sunday School Lesson for March 7, 1171
MEMORY SELECTION: "Owe no man anything, but to love
one another; for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the"1
law". (Romans 13:8)
LESSON TEXT: Mark 12:28-34; Luke 10:25-37.
Our lesson for today stresses the parable of the Good
Samaritan, one of the more telling of Jesus' illustrative way
of teaching. For Christ was a superlative teacher; He used
everyday, familiar terms to reach the understanding of His
audiences, yet He wove His stories in such a way as to
stimulate the individual's thinking for himself. Thus it is that
we see the lawyer who was questioning Our Lord, answer his
own query - "Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal
life?". ; o -y 'v :: -, ji : .'. .. "
And in the parable of the Good Samaritan (he who stopped
to give aid and succour to the man who had been beaten and
robbed, and left for dea d on the wayside, and who had been
passed by by both a Levite and a priest) Christ was also
lblique in His approach.
In this connection it must be remembered that there were
bitter enmities between tribes and between nations, brought
about by wars, differences of religion and national stan
dards. In this particular , instance the Samaritans were
looked down upon by many. Religious cults regarded them as
outcasts, for they were descendants of non-Jews who had
settled In the area of Samaria, and, although they had offered
their services to assist in the rebuilding of the Temple, their
offer was refused by the purists - people of narrow religious
boundariesTherefore Christ, who merely referred to the
victim as "a certain man" (not specifying his origin) gave
His listeners no clue to his sect or race, but very specifically
listed the identity of those who were unconcerned! The fact
that the priest and the Levite were considered represen- .
tatives of the religious life of the nation made their defection
the more shocking. And Christ, ever ready to take up the
cudgels on behalf of the underdog, challenged the prejudices
of those who thought the Samaritans inferior to themselves.
The lawyer was overly concerned with identifying his
neighbors, apparently oblivious to the fact that It la more
important to be neighborly towards an mea How many of us
fall into the same trap? Being neighborly means becoming
involved with the human racel It means taking risks In
behalf of others; it means an outreaching of the spirit when .
the time and need becomes apparent Involvement with
others means Involvement with Christ, and we are thereby
earning our own salvation.
Today invdvement is foremost in the minds of the
younger ger. : Uon, And while one may sometimes question
their manner of expressing their Concern with people and
trends, one cannot deny their personal participation In the
everyday life of the nation! We must thank God for it - for
who has forgotten the newspaper account of the beating of a
young woman oa the streets of a big city, watched, passively,
by people saf'y under their own roofs, who did not want to ,
become "involved"? Again, the wayfarer, the passers-by!
January was the national "March of Dimes" mctth.
Anyone who switched on their television sets could, for some
nineteen hours, watch and listen to the greatest exhi'-M of :
neihborliness and caring, and love, t X ere cculj iih to
see. On behalf of helpless, hand:-" i cdren, working
people from all walks of life went cut sleep and talked
themselves hoarse to bring the r ' t of those less fortunate
to the attention of the nation. l...y Inspired people to r'-'J
their dimes and their dollars UsxzrU a great cav. ly,
and the people they reached, were truly livlrj by t s Lw of
love! They gave of themselves, tat others rJJ.t tcaeflt!
How pleased God must have t ::.n!
