safe, but not often happy.”
—Samuel Johnson.
A statistical expert wanted to
get married but refused to be
wed on the Tuesday his girl
friend had selected. Asked why,
he explained,
‘‘lf we get married on a Tues
day, we’d celebrate our Silver
Wedding anniversary on a Friday I
—and Friday is my bowling |
night!”
When we observe the tranquil
lives of simple, primitive people, j
we .wonder whether the educa- ■
tion, vision and foresight that we
possess is an advantage. It caus

KNOW YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY ]
P. E. Bettendorf, representative of the Social Security Ad
ministration, is in Edenton every Thursday at the North Caro,
line Employment Security Commission in Citizens Bank
Building.
This week, let me digress from |
explaining the 1958 Amendments
to the Social Security Act. I
would like to show you in fig
ures exactly what Social Securi
ty means to the residents and
businessmen of Chowan and Per
quimans County.
In 1955, benefits payable in
Chowan County were $14,000 and j
in Perquimans County, $11,200
a month. Since that time, self- 1
employed farmers have been'
brought under the Social Securi- j
ty Act and those who have qual- j
ified for Social Security benefits :
are'now receiving Social Securi-.
ty thecks every month.
As of December 31, 1957, the.
benefits in force for Chowan \
County were $21,645 per month j
and in Perquimans County $23,- J
634 per month. The tremendous .
difference in the amount of bene- '
fits payable over that short pe- 1
riod can be attributed to the,
newly covered farmers. Social
Security was intended to provide I

trees as a crop.
Certification of 45 new tree
farms over the state points up
that fact, according to J. Ray
Orr, . conservation forester for
Champion Paper and Fibre Co.,
Canton, and chairman of the
North Carolina Tree Farm Com
mittee.
He said these additions brought
the total number of North Caro
lina tree farms to 230, covering
1,138,048 acres.
“And this is only the begin
ninng,'’ Orr said. "By this time
next year we hope to have 500
certified tree farmers in the state
“We are in a good position for
advances under the program—
North Carolina is second only to
Texas in number of small farms.”
Most of them, he said, have
woodlands which could be eligi
ble for certification.

sponsored by the North Carolina
Forest Industries Committee, is

give up our learning? Should we
revert to the uninformed exist
ence of primitive people? Not at
all.
When we worry about the shad
ows that lurk in our tomorrows
we exhibit our ignorance. We
show our neglect of a companion
talent which should accompany
' all technical knowledge and men
tal skills. Side-by-side With

Social Security can affect the
economy and income of any spe

dous difference brought about
|by Social Security inasmuch as i
.23 years ago, there was no Social
i Security program. The 1958
1 Amendments to the Social Se-
I curity Act will increase the bene
i fit amounts to all people receiv
i ing Social Security. The increase '
! will average approximately 7%.
■ Some will get slightly more than
1 7%, while others will get slight
|ly less. The new minimum and
maximum rates are also increas

is effective in January 1959.
j Checks for January 1959 are
i mailed early in February 1959.

Sunday School Lesson
THE MEANING OF JESUS'
BAPTISM
International Sunday School
Lesson for October 19, 1959.
Memory Selection: “I have come
to do thy will, O God.”
—(Hebrews 10:7)
Lesson Text: Matthew 3:13-17;
Luke 3:15-22.
This lesson endeavors to show
the meaning of Jesus’ baptism.
It may also aid in the more full
appreciation of the significance of
our own baptism. i
Studying our' lesion text for to- j
day, we read an account of the
work and beliefs of John'the Bap- !
tist, and of the baptism of Jesus
Christ, and his public acknowl
edgement as the Son oT God.
John the Baptist was a power
ful preacher, who had built up a
great following. Indeed, such
high regard did his followers have
for him, that there were many
among them who wanted to pro
claim him as the Messiah. John,
however, gave short shrift to this
idea, and, being a dedicated man,
relinquished his great following
to Jesus, holding the view, we j
suspect, that he regarded himself«
as merely a tool in laying the
foundations of Christianity as we
know it today. The Messiah
would come, said John, like a 1
farmer who winnows the chaff.
from the wheat; like a gardener |
who cuts down sterile trees that

first thing his people must dc
was to repent it tney were to be
worthy of having a part in the
wonderful new era.
Baptism was a most significant
religious experience for Jesus.
His partaking of this rite has
puzzled many who associate bap
tism with sin and repentance. It
would certainly be improper to
charge that it meant that Jesus
was putting away his sins. It
would be better argued in this in
stance that Jesus’ baptism was an
act of consecration. This was the
means whereby he publicly ac
! knowledged his association with
I the coming of the kingdorn of God
and assumed all the responsibili
' ties that went with his same asso
ciation.
Matthew has introduced a rea
son for Jesus’ baptism. (Matthew
3:15). He has suggested that at
baptism Jesus took upon himself
the common sin. In this way he
demonstrated his love by showing
his willingness to share the in
dignities and pains of sinners.
“Ha repented with men as a man
to redeem men —in God.”
The most generally accepted
view is that his baptism marks
> the time when Jesus was com
! missioned to do the work that
God had planned for him. It was
here that he entered the new
epoch with all its messianic im
plications. It was here, at His
| baptism, that his call from God
