Be a good listener. Let folks aroubd you know that you are interested in them by listening to their problems. What they say, maybe, will five relief to their troubled souls. 2. Good conversation is becom ing a lost art. We have great pos sibilities for keeping up with topics that make for Interesting conversation in our homes and out. family life specialists say that the children- who have op j portunities to talk with their par ents are not apt to talk back to I them. To hear only the commun ity or certain family gossip day in and day out isn't giving young people training in good conversa tion nor in character building principles. 3. Take time to thank people 1 for what we sometimes take for granted. Such gestures will make for happiness. Let's cultivate our best selves ? it's more than worth the time it takes. 4. Any polish that brings out the grain, brightens the sparkle, is worth owning. "Kindness is to do and say the kindest thing in the kindest way." 5. Let's not back-off from our unpleasant duties. Doing at least one unpleasant duty each day, certainly several times a week, will make for appreciation of people in more ways than one. 6. Let's be for rather than against every thing.

At last check, Stone says the bucket had $3.96 in it and that it's never been more than 7 or 8 cents short. Another European settler In Kenya is killed by the Mau Mau. Stocking Lingo Sounds Like Greek Have you ev?r (topped to think iow the conversation between he (hopper and the utockmg counter sales girl must sound to the casual passer-by? "Neutral shade, durk sefcm, 10 1-2, 3? length, 15, II " ? . ' It sounds almost like just so much Greek, but actually each one 61 those figure* has a specific meaning. The State College extension clothing specialist, Julia Mclvar, says that it's smart to buy your nylon stocking by asking for the number of denier and the num ber of gauge you want. Denier means the size of thick ness of the thread or yarn out Of which the stockings are made. Denier 15 means a very fine cob webby yarn is used in sheer hose; 20 is a little heavier and 30 is still heavier and used in service weight hose. Gauge refers to the number of threads In every 1 1-2 inches of the stocking or the fineness or closeness of knit. At present 51 gauge is considered low or coarse, 54 gauge is medium, 60 is fine or close and 86 is very fine. There is a relation between denier and gauge, explains Miss Mclver. The finer the yarn or iower the denier number, the more closely It can be knit. Very fine yarn calls for a fine or close knit to endure the tension of wear. For any given denier the higher the gauge figure, the bet ter wear you'll be likely to get. Tor example, 15 denier hose can be expected to last longer in the close 66 gauge rather than in 51 gauge. The heavier 30 denier, however, can give good wear In 51 gauge or lower. Be sure to get your nylons large enough, cautions Miss Mc lver. There should be a half inch extra length in the toe. If your run starts from the toe, you pro bably need a longer foot size.

COFFEY, Chairman CLARENCE WATSON L. E. WILSON Board of County CotnmiatioKjf for Watauga County Repentance The only way to get ? true definition of repentance is to ' study the word and its general use in the scriptures. Thayer* Greek Lexicon defines the verb, 'To change one's mind for better, heartily to amend, abhorrence of one's past sins." To hear a man preach: "Repentance precedes faith." seems strange to one who knows liow to rightly divide the word of God. The Jews were taught by John the Baptist, the twelve and seventy under the first commission, "to repent and believe the Gospel." Also,, to "repent for the kingdom of heaven is at h?m4," to ropeht and Mlieve on him that shall come. Hew ember, these Jews were God's children under the first covenant law. and John was sent to them d re aching repent i snce. They hud left the law, and the worship under the law. Thev were believers in God. but had ceased to worship Him as the law directed (Matt. 18: 7-9). To take these scriptures and apply them to alien sinners is a pervenion of God's word When they truly repented, thev turned from the doctrines and commandmentb of men, to God's law (G*l. 3: 24). Christ and His kingdom had not come yet, but they were told to repent and believe the glad tidings of the near approach of both the Messiah and the Kingdom. We are not taught this today, why7 Because Christ and His Kingdom have come. If you repant before you believe the Gospel, you repent before you hgya heard the Gospel, for "faith comes by hearing the word of 0qd (Rom. The Apostles preached nothing but the Gospel, and Christ said for fit to believe on Him through their (Apostles) words (Jno. 17:10). If it man repents before he believes, then repentance is no part of the* Gospel. Man does not believe in repentance if he repents before he believes. Repentance is no part of faith if it precede# auth. Those who preach repentance before faith, preach under the wrong commission. On thi 4ay of pen tec oat Peter preached the Gospel, the Jew* Heir* and believed (Acts 2:37). They were told to "re pent and be baptized for remission of sins" (Acts 2:38). The commands of obedience to the Gospel of Christ come in this order, (1) Preaching. (2) Believing, (3) Repentance, (4) Baptism.? equals salvation.
