r<*rm iHmflfw rill* 1354 Is Not So Bad Specialists Discuss Situ ation at Chowan Com munity Building According to Extension Specialists J. W. Williams and George S. Abshier, who met last week with agricultural workers and a number of farm and home leaders at the Chowan Com munity Building, the farm and home outlook for 1954 doesn’t look too bad. The specialists pointed out that it will be very necessary for every farm family to plan carefully during 1954 in order to provide the most efficient farm operation and best family liv ing. It appears that the cost of pro duction will be just as high as for 1958. , Peanuts and tobacco are under al lotment and cotton will also be under allotment in 1954. Hogs should con tinue. good until the fall of 1954, when increased production may depress the price some beginning about August or September. Beef cattle is presumed to have passed through the depression and prices should be on the trend upward. Vegetables is anybody’s guess, and depends largely on the seasonal production but with a portion of people to feed vegetables should hold their own in our economy. Poul try appears to be .about normal for the coming year and egg prices should remain good throughout the year. All this adds up to possibly a little less net income for farm family liv ing. The amount of net income that farm families have will depend largely on their ability to produce and market as economically as possible, taking ad vantage of the better farm practices.

C., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER tt, 1958. —»w— I I. ——■ ■L——_'_!L loved ones back in England. Yet they ] found cause to be thankful. How times have changed! Today, Americans own 80 per cent of the world’s automobiles, 60 per cent of its telephones, and a radio for every third person; we have one-billion acres of farm land, and one-half billion acres of forest yet we have allowed , “Thanksgiving” to degenerate into . just another excuse to drink, ahd feed our faces—we have made a holiday 1 out of this holy day. Perhaps it . would be well for us all at this time ; to heed the advice of the old Sun ' day School song: s Count your blessings, » Name them one by one; : And it will surprise you 1 What the Lord has done. First off, we should be thankful for ; a land in which each may worship | God according to the dictates of his > own conscience (and not someone [ else’s conscience). We should be > thankful for the open Bible; for God’s I only Son, who is the Hero of the Bi i ble; and for the glorious promise of ’ redemption and eternal life to all who i trust and hope in Him, and the blood l He shed on Calvary’s cruel cross. ■ Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul; ! And thank you, Lord, for making me ' whole; ' Thank you, Lord, for giving to me, I Thy great salvation, so rich and free. ' I And thanks be unto God for those | stern, uncompromising calvinistdc, » bull-headed, freedom-loving Puritans, ! who endured so much in order to pass > on to us the illustrious heritage of > “the Book, the Blood and the Bless > ed Hope.” J Let us also be thankful for “the > creature comforts;” for life, health, ’ food, and a comfortable place to sleep. > During the Second World War, when I I was a soldier on the front lines in ' Germany, I made a solemn vow to ! God that if He spared me to return j home I would never again close , my eyes in sleep without thanking | Him for enough to eat; a warm, dry . place to sleep; and the assurance that | I would live through the night. These ■ things are so common-place to us that I we take them for granted, but there ■ are many today who go through life | without them. Certainly we should ■ be grateful that we live in America, | and not, say, in Russia, or China, or ■ Africa. Nor should we be unappreciative of 1 intangible thangs, such as love, friend- I ship, security, a sense of humor, and 1 the ability to enjoy good music, and I art, and literature. ; Finally, we who are Christians may . be thankful for our trials and tribu ' lations, for we know that our Heaven i ly Father works all things together ; according to the counsel of His will for good to them that love Him. And “we glory in tribulations also: know ing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experi ence, hope; and hope maketh not and floor area between stakes increased.

Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!” (Psalm 107: 1,8).
