Negro Nome Demonstration News ! By MRS. QNNIE S. CHARLTON, Negro Home Demonstration Agent i ... This week is National Home • Demonstration Club Week. At this- time I would like to share : with you our Club Collect which is our home demonstration club prayer. The explanations given are by Mrs. Corinne G. English, Extension Specialist in Family Relations. She says, “if we re peat the Club Collect daily, as a prayer, it will help us grow into finer, more secure, happier home makers.” ‘Keep us, Oh God, from petti ness. Let us be large in thought, in word, in deed, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” We wjll help our fami lies more by what we are, than by all of the things we say or try to do! •Let us be done with fault-find ing and leave off self-seeking. We are all prone to criticize and correct others, forgetting that a word of praise and appreciation will encourage effort and achieve ment. We are “Long” on fault finding; “Short” on praise! Be fore we try to change others, let’s start first with ourselves. *May wO put aside all pretense and meet each other face to face, without self-pity and without pre judice. Feeling sorry for oneself will ( destroy happiness and usefulness at any age. If we will concen- 1 trate on the good things in life we enjoy, we won’t have as much , time to complain about the things we lack. In the church, in the school, and especially in our homes we should respect the in tegrity and worth of each individ ual, remembering that our un conscious attitudes may be influ encing—and hurting—others. •May we never be hasty in judgment and always generous. "The Sioux Indians have this prayer: “Oh, Great Spirit, help me never to judge another until I have walked two weeks in his moccasins." A generous attitude toward oth ers is a sign of good mental health, and it helps make life happier for ourselves —ahd oth ers. •Let us take time for all things, \ make us to grow calm, serene, gentle. It has been said that this planet has three billion human beings and the only thing all have in common is 60 minutes every hour. Someone has said, “Well arrang ed time is the surest mark of a well-managed mind.” How much “tife” have you? Do you ever feel pushed, rushed, frustrated? How can we do all KNOW YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY P. E. B*il«ndorf, represent alive of the Social Security Ad ministration. is in Edenlon every Thursday at the North Caro, lina Employment Security Commission in Citizens Bank Building. Mrs. Mary W., 28 years old and the mother *of Sftsmi&r 'children, j lost her husband last Septem- • her. Mr. W. was 34 years old ati the time of his death and had j been an engineer with a large] manufacturing company. Mary was the beneficiary of A $7500 insurance policy and there was a bank account of less than SI,OOO. On the other side of the ledger there was a $7,000 mortgage on ,the house she and her husband had purchased just two years be * fore. Mary, in thinking about her situation, decided she would have to arrange day care for the children, a boy of 7, and two girls, 5 and 2 years of age, and find a job. Later on, she rea lized, she might have to sell the house, but she put that decision out of her mind for the moment. It was not until just this week, eight months after her husband’s death, that Mary eyen consider ed one valuable asset—her hus band’s social security. When she called at her local social se curity office, Mary found that she and the children were eligi ble for social security survivors benefits of S2OO a month, qn her husband's earnings under social security. With hejr first check, she and the children will also receive back payments for the months of September to February, and in addition, she Vill be paid a lump-9um death payment of $255. Monthly payments of S2OO will come to Mary and her children for 13 years, until the 5 year old ; reaches 18. For the following 3 years, until her youngest girl is ]g years of age, monthly bene fit, of $162.80 wQI be payable to the'family. Payments will r Wtqp at that t<me, but when Mary apaches 82. if she has not re married, *e w« become afimfcle tor a monthly gheck of $81.40 for $e rest of her life. the things we ought to do and all the things we want to do? ' The answer is an individual one. Learning to put first things first is important if we would' ! grow “calm,” serene, gentle. •Teach us to put into action our better impulses, straightforward and unafraid. Good impulses won’t help oth ers unless we put them into ac tion! Yesterday is already a dream Tomorrow is only a vision But today, well lived, Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness; And every tomorrow a vision of hope— Look well, therefore, to this day. (from the Sanskirt) •Grant that we may realize it is the little things that create dif ferences, that in the big things of life we are as one. Pettiness, prejudice, self-seek ing cause misunderstanding, un happiness, discord. We need ap proval, acceptance, affection from others. They need it from us! •And may we strive to touch and to know the great, common heart of us all and, O Lord God, let u 3 forget not to be kind. Understanding why another acts as he does will make us kind er in our judgments and actions and we will live as we pray The Golden Rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” ’ We want to reach new people. We will be happy to have you join the home demonstration club i nearest you this month. Schedule for Month of May Edenton, May 13—Mrs. Clara B. Simons, 8:00 P. M.

A police reporter on tbe Seattle Post to tetligence of Seattle, Washington, was sitting at his typewriter when suddenly an overwhelming im pulse came to him. Not knowing why, he hurried to Pioneer Square, three blocks away, ju9t in time -to Knock a loaded pistol away from the head of a man about to shoot himself. A cold rain was falling, and the gun slid across ithe glistening grass. Everything seemed so unreal that the reporter felt that he was en acting a strange drama. Across the street at a glance he noticed the time shown by a clock in the win dow of a restaurant. It was five minutes past 7:00. Just a, few minutes before, he had been sitting at' his typewriter. Now here be was in Seattle’s Skid Row” with a man he had just saved from death. Where did the impulse come from that sent him out into the dreary night? What had sent him directly to the spot where a human being was about to hurl himself into eternity? The man dropped on his knees and began fumbling in the wet grass for the gUn. The reporter pushed him with his foot and he sprawled An his face. Then the re porter picked up the gun. “Let’s go home.” he said. “Where do you live? What’s your name? Is it Jack?” “How did you know my name?" asked the man who was -sobbing. “I don’t know,” said the report er, “but let’s go somewhere where we can talk.” The poor fellow shook his head. “I don t want to talk,” be said. social security people can tell | you that this is an old story. Many young widowed mothers delay in applying for social se curity survivors benefits. When there is such a delay, the law provides that benefits can be paid retroactively for no more than 12 months before the time they apply. Before the end of a year fol lowing their husband’s deaths, most widows have been forced to carefully assess their sources of income and do learn about their rights to social security benefits. But in the meantime, they have suffered acute anxiety about the future and may even have dis rupted their living arrangements unnecessarily. Mrs. W. and her children are receiving the maximum family payment of S2OO a month because Mr. W.’s earnings were high. Payments to a fatherless family SENATOR SAM ERVIN « SAYS ft Washington Action by the Senate Judiciary Committee last week evidences the growing eon-j cern that exists in Congress that! the United States Supreme Court should refrain from further in-1 vading the field left to the Coij gress and the States by the Con-1 stitution. There is'room for disagreement j as to the particular remedy fori But then words came pouring put of him. “I can’t go on. I can’t face them-. My children will have no Christmas presents, no food, no money. I am sick and I'm tired. I want to get away from it.” Somehow the reporter was able to persuade Jack B. to let him take him home. When they walked into the house, two little girls about three and five years old rushed to tbeir father. His wjfe ran to him and put her arms around him. She looked at the reporter and said, “I’ve Jbeen worried sink. To night when he didn’t come home by 7:00 o’clock, I prayed and asked God to please take care of him and bring him safely home. And here he is.” Suddenly the reporter realized why the impulse had come to him at exactly 7:00 o’clock* Prayer had spanned the distance and Cod had used him as an answer to her prayer. (This story was related by Alexander Lake in “Your Prayers Are Always Answered.”) It is my firm conviction that prayer is the greatest privilege God ever gave a human being. I love to pray. It is through prayer that I can make direct contact with God. By calling upon a Power higher than myself, I am relieved of excess burdens. Sometimes my most effectual prayer is not ex pressed in words but in the deep longings of my heart. I believe that God is bigger than the need and wiser than the problem. He is too good to do wrong, too wise to make a mistake. When I pray I believe that Cod is, that He is good, that He is near. There is no distance in prayer. j range from $45 to S2OO a month, depending upon the father’s av erage earnings under social se curity and the number of eligi ble dependents. The average monthly payment to a widow with two children is about $l4O a month. Old-age and suryivors insur ance, or social security, as it is more commonly called, is a fam ily program, but in the minds of most people, the term social se curity has unfortunately become synonymous with old-age and re tirement. Relatively few young married people are aware of the protection afforded the family of a young worker. Although most parents of young families will live to see their children grown and self-supporting, knowledge of this family protection can help ; them to plan more intelligently . for the future and may be of great comfort in time of stress. ' the encroachment anpLusurpation by : the court. I voted for tbe pro jposal in the Judiciary Committee j because I' honestly feel that the Supreme Court has far exceeded | its proper bounds by acting as a legislative body contrary to the I meaning of the Constitution. Usurpation My hope is that this action will i serve to call attention to the Court that it should to its legal knitting and desist from moving into the legislative field. Criticism of the Court does not come easy with me; I respect our democratic institutions, but I am compelled to speak out against what I am convinced is usurpa tion of power whether it be in the judicial, legislative or execu tive branches. If we are to pre serve the balance between the States and the Federal Govern ment and the division of power within the Federal government, it must be done by insisting upon legal and constitutional principles. No public official should be above criticism, and I cannot subscribe to the theory that the court is sacrosanct. Vote Unexpected The overwhelming vote in the committee was unexpected. By a vote of two-to-one majority my colleagues took this action to re port the bill which should pro duce important national debates. A debate of this nature can be very constructive. It will inform the people of the importance of separation of powers and the wis dom of the Founding Fathers in establishing thi s concept. Dangers of Encroachment The dangers of judicial en croachment are numerous, Per haps one of the most serious is substitution of personal notions of what the law ought to be for what the law is. Another is the meth odical reduction of the States to meaningless zeros, the ultimate of the miscomprehension that Wash ington can do everything better. With these things fresh in mind, the Judiciary Committee has now acted. I favor a great debate on this issue. Such is long overdue. The debate should not be section al, reckless or irresoonsible. Military Pay Bill The Senate unanimously passed the military pay bill last week. While considering the proposal, I was struck by the fact that the Armed Services are today in keen competition with the business world for trained manpower to carry on our complex defense es tablishment.

Congress had no alternative but to work out a plan, an incentive | plan, whereby a career in the I Armed Forces will be more at , tractive to these capable and | highly trained people. Poultry Industry Has Room For Expansion While great strides have been , made in recent years there re mains considerable room for ex pansion of North Carolina’s booming poultry industry. The industry in Georgia, for example, is about two and one-half times larger than in this state. Broilers alone in Georgia are worth $l5O million a year to farmers; in North Carolina the figure is SSB million. But North Carolina has an opportunity to close the gap. Clayton P. Libeau, poultry and egg marketing specialist for the N. C. Agricultural Extension Ser vice, says the federal poultry products inspection act, which will require that all poultry and poultry products moving between states after January 1, 1959, be inspected for wholesomeness, should assist North Carolina in its race to expand poultry mar ketings. ; Libeau explains that consum ers of poultry are buying more , and more built-in conveniences iSnd services such as a whole drawn birds, ready to eat and ice-packed. Many are demanding 'halves, quarters, and cut-up I parts in boxes and trays. All |of this means that more labor is j being added to the finished pro ! duct. And cheap labor is one of North Carolina’s greatest re sources, adds Libeau. The new inspection law provides a great , opportunity for North Carolina to “export more of this, great re source in the form of attractive ly packaged poultry.” North Carolina, in general,, can I ship processed poultry products tc the large population centers |of New England about a third | of a cent cheaper than its strong- 1 est competitors in Georgia and Alabama, according to Libeau.
