TTiftTortoday^ ★ God is our refuge and strength. —Psalms 46:1. ’AN UNDERSTANDING of how near is the avail able power of The Omnipotent One, we would tap the divine supply and lose our fears and helpless ness. Merciful Father, forgive us when we turn away from Thee and fail to understand Thy unfailing providence for our every need. w . . . Look Around Your Home What has happened to the value of your home and its contents in the dozen years since World War II ended? It’s a safe bet you couldn’t immediately answer that question with any degree of accuracy, and an equally safe bet that if you make a thorough-going job of listing the changes and additions, you'll be in for a considerable surprise. It is very likely that you have made major improvements to the house itself—ranging from storm windows to a larger garage or a game room in the basement. It is a certainty that your possessions have grown like flowers in the spring, with new rugs, clothes, labor-saving appliances. TV sets and hi-fi phonographs, kitchen ware, do-it yourself equipment, musical instruments and so on ad i infinitum. Finally, you’ve probably made important im provements to your grounds. AH of these things cost money. They now cost a great deal more than they used to — about double the fibres obtaining when the last world war ended. This brings up the big question: Has your fire insurance coverage been adjuster! to take care both of your in creasing list of possessions, and of the price rises that have taken place? Few people can answer that with an honest Yfs. The great majority of us are underiiK sured —and if ffre or some other disaster strilrei we will suffer a heavy out-of-pocket loss. The , remedy is to see your local insurance agent, to tal up your values, and bring your coverage in line. Your Neighbor Can’t Bat For You Some diseases, once an effective vaccine has been found, are easy to conquer. Take small pox, for instance. If a large part of the coun try’s population is vaccinated, the “chain of infection” is broken and the virus fades out. The same is true for diphtheria. But polio vaccination works differentlly. It sets up antibodies in the bloodstream that pre vent the polio virus from attacking and destroy ing the nerve centers. A person thus protected against paralysis, however, can still harbor the polio virus in his system and can still transmit it to some one else—his family, his neighbors, the people with whom he works. Everybody, in short, regardless of vaccination, is a poten tial “carrier.” That’s what Dr. Jonas Salk meant when he warned: “Your neighbor’s vaccination won’t protect you.” If you want protection against paralytic polio, you must get it yourself. Even if every' other persons in your town were vac cinated and you were not, youiwould still be in the category designated as susceptible to paralytic polio.” Intersecting Circles The duty and responsibility of equipping the child—from its first appearance on the scene — to live harmoniously and effectively in its corn er of the world rests with the parents. A few years later this task begins to be—nay, must be —shared with the-toacher. And the child en ters a stage in his development under the tute lage of what surely is one of the most import ant partnerships in the world. In the United States this partnership has come to be expressed and furthered byway of organization —by way of a startlingly enormous organization, the National Congress of Parents and Teachers, over 10 million strong. That this strength is not a passive, static one is shown by growth statistics. The PTA has gained half a million members since the last convention; it has doubled its membership within the last 10 years. An organization must have a dynamic purpose to nourish a growth so vigorous and so sustained. •Chief among the PTA’s aims is to bring into relationship the home and the sqhool. It might be said that through its more than 42,000 kgcal associations PTA is extending the family circle to include the school and enlarging the Jdeard & •Seen One trouble with a vacation, besides coining j home broke, is that a fellow has to work so bloomin’ hard to catch up that he just about needs a week’s rest after the first week back from a vacation. Anyway, yours truly return ed Sunday night from a vacation spent in Flori da, except for the four days driving, which was as tiresome as working and since then I’ve been up to my neck in work so that T haven’t had time to hear or see much around home. To liven things up in Florida was a Shrine cere monial. which was very interesting and a hot and dirty election for a Mayor and Town Coun ciln en for Miami Beach in which zoning a por tion of the beach in the ritzy hotel section was the principal issue. Candidates there really try to get elected, with airplane's flying around and banners trailing urging voters to cast their ballots for a certain candidate. Buses, too, were all diked out with advertisements, auto mobiles were painted in behalf of some candi dates. not to mention the fact that a person could hardly walk a dozen steps without be ing offered a handful of cards or other litera ture soliciting votes. But Florida is no place for me. I was told that in a certain section of Miami Beach land sold for as much as $15,000 per square foot. I didn’t even have enough money to buy a spoonful. Florida has some idea of the value of the tourist business, too, for at one olace T saw a sign reading. “Come down to Florida, you Yankees—-help keep Florida green with your greenbacks.” Well somebody is, for if all the tourists suddenly left there apparently wouldn’t be much else left. Os course. I attended the dotr races one night and picked a certain number dog for sev eral races. Next morning I saw a hound fol lowing a garbage truck which looked like the dog I was betting on. There are also a bunch of “Whites” living in Florida, for I had occas ion to make a phone call and over three pages were taken up with “White” names. In fact there were 17 Tohn Whites listed in the direc torv. From all indications money is no object in Florida if one sees the many beautiful hotels and homes, as well as the construction work be ing done. While taking it all in, I sort of won dered if it might be too far-fetched to envision the development of John’s Island with some beautiful homes and a bridge running from Edenton to the island. Then, too, what would be wrong with building a nice pier out in front of the Court House Green where citizens and visitors could rest and enjoy the breeze and even fish? They’d surely catch as many as from some of the recreational piers I’ve seen while on the trio. But, Buff, you better hush your mouth—that costs money, you know! Spending a night at some town in South Caro lina. the same waitress was on duty at supper time and again at early breakfast. I asked her if she didn’t have long hours. “No,” she said. “I wasn’t working last night. I was just helping out during the rush hour.” And speaking about South Carolina, they have plenty of mosqui toes. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Allsbrook and daughter Vickie, had a battle with the pests until about 4 A. M., and Rick told a restaurant waitress that they made his haid turn gray overnight. At any rate if the bloodmobile Would go to that particular place there should not be a lot of trouble getting the blood quo ta. And in some states they h(ive a speed law so that a guy is worried not to drive over 60 mile? an hour and under 40 miles. Gosh, a fel low hardly knows what to do with a maximum and minimum limit. Anyway, we went as far South as Key West and back without a single patrolman stopping us. It’s nice to go off on a vacation, but it’s a lot nicer to come home, and of the states and towns I went through, give me old Edenton, where we also have a lot to crow about, but do very little crowing. o Visiting my daughter in Elizabeth City the other night, she had the kitchen window wide open while frying steaks for her and njy grand daughter. “What’s the idea of leaving the win dow open when it’s so cool ?” I asked. “Well,” she said, “we have been frying franks and bo logna so long that I thought I’d open the win dow so. the neighbors will know that we are eating steaks for a change.” * o Accompanying Col. BiH Roseveaj and May or Ernest Kehayes to the base Tuesday morn ing to witness the change in command of Ma rine Aircraft Group 14,. the conversation went off into a tangent about World War I, in which Col. Rosevear served. “1 had to speak French,” said Bill, “but if you don’t use it, you lose it, and can’t use it,” he said. But French is not the only thing in the same boat. o- Oh, yes, a fleet of deep sea fistyvg boats at Miami Beach $s operated by the Chamber »f Commerce.

Everyone around town knew Danny Davis. Almost every day he would hobble downtown on his crutches and spend the time with the gang around the stove in the country store, or if the weather was good, he might join in the checker game on the nail kegs outside. Everyone also knew Danny’s unfortunate story. He had grown up in the little town and started to work in the factory in 1935, just after he finished high school. Everything went along fine until Danny was in an accident in 1945. He never walk ed again, except on crutches. He was permanently and totally dis abled. He had managed somehow to get along, living with relatives and with the help of kindly neighbors. .Soon after his acci dent in 1945 Danny learned at (he Social Security office that he could get no social security bene fits because of disability.

Danny went to tne social Security office again and applied to have his so cial security record “frozen.” In doing this he assured himself of benefits after age 30. If Danny had not applied for the disability freeze he would have lost all rights to social security benefits. He had paid into social security less than ten years and did not have enough time to his credit to receive benefits even after age 65, without benefit of the disability freeze. If you are a disabled worker and you have had as much as five years of work covered by so cial security, *be sure to inquire at your nearest Social Security office before July 1, 1957.

The doctor told him the bad news—the tests showed that he had a rase disease and one for which little help is now available to give hope of a cure. The months went by.

The medical history of, his case was reviewed by the medical consultant of the State Board of Public Welfare and.he was found’eligible for help. The county board of public welfare gave hipi the maximum grant un der the law since he had no other, income. A civic club supplied the cost of medicines to slow the pro gress of the disease. .But he kept a good spirit al though the outlook was dark— ahd becoming darker. Gradually, he came to need more and more care for the normal needs of liv ing. The monthly grant of the aid to the permanently and total ly disabled (APTD) gave him food and shelter and this assur ance cheered him to the end. About 14,000 persons in the' State receive an average monthlv grant of about $39 in the APTD program to bring help and basic security to these disabled. Seven ty three per cent of these pay ments are from Federal funds and only 13 per cent from county funds.

Brimstone, bitumen, oil of pitch, olive oil, oil of fish liver, salt, nitre, butter, lupine in wine, rose mary, and rosin were mange ments suggested by Pliny of Rome in the first century A.D. Vitamin K, injected intraven ously by veterinarians, can save many dogs which have been poi soned by eating warfarin, a com mon rat poison. Treatment must be prompt, however, to.be effec tive. Bites of venomous reptiles are always more serious in dogs and cats than in man or cattle be cause the ratio of units of venom . to units of body weight is much greater. Four cows, 10 horses, 700 dogs, four cats and one mule were bit ten by poisonous snakes in one year’s time in Florida. Os the 700 dogs, 180 died and three of the four cats bitten died.
