' Every person presenting him
self for registration shall be
able to read and write any sec
tion of the Constitution in the

is an eyception applicable to

called “grandfather’s clause.”

scribed by law.
May the Legislature reduce
the age requirement for voting
from twenty-one years to eigh
teen years?
No. This can only be done
by an amendment to the Con
stitution of North Carolina.
Is the payment of a poll tax
a prerequisite for voting in
North Carolina?
No.
Is it the duty of a registrar
THE CHOWAH HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, APRIL 21. 1960.
j to request an applicant for reg
istration to state his or her
political party affiliation and to
record this fact opposite the
name?
Yes. The registrar isn’t being
I “nosey”; he is only performing
a duty imposed upon him by
law.
If the applicant refuses to de
clare his party affiliation or says
that he is an independent, the
registrar may register such ap
plicant’s name, if found quali
, fied to register, but he will be
told that he cannot vote in any
party primary election and only
in a general election held there
after.
May a registered voter change
his party affiliation on the reg
istration book?
Yes. But no registered voter
is permitted to change his party
affiliation for a primary after
the close of the registration pe
riod. In certain counties, where
there is a full time and perma
nent registration the change of
party affiliation may be effect
ed not less than 21 days prior
to the primary election.
Before being permitted to
change his party affiliation, for
the purpose of participating in
a primary election, the register
ed voter is required to take an
oath of party loyalty to the par
ty to which he wishes to now
affiliate. He must solemnly
swear or affirm to support the
nominees of his new party in
future elections.
The oath of party loyalty is
not required from one register
ing for the first time. It is re
quired only from those desiring
a change of party affiliation on
the registration book.

•Someone has said, “We have
no right to offer Christ less
than the whole of our lives.
There can be no dedication to
Him that is not complete in its
surrender.”
Too often, 1 fear, wc limit our
“religion” to a small part of our
lives. Monday is wash day, Fri
day is shopping day, and Sunday
is religion day—if we can think
of no other way to spend it.
We ignore the injunction of our
Lord: “Thou shalt love the
Lord Thy God with all thy
heart, and with all thy soul,
»n«P with all thy mind, end with
all thy strength.”
Or should I call Him “our
Lord?” The wgrd “Lord” means
“slave-master,” and its New
Testament correlative,' “servant,”
means “slave”. Further, the
Greek word (doulos), translated
“servant” in the New Testament
refers to the lowest kind of
slave—the one whose entire
body and soul are in the hands
of his master to do with as he
wills. If we do not cherish a
relationship to Jesus Christ that

owns Him as complete Lord and
Master of our lives, our
thoughts, words, actions, we
speak a lie when we call Him
“Lord”. If He is not Lord OF
all. He is not Lord AT all.
Thomas Huxley, an atheistic
evolutionist who devoted his
mis-spent life to attacking the
Bible as the Word of God, made
at least one true statement in
his time. H c said, “It doesn’t
take much of a man to be a
Christian, but it takes all of
him there is.” William Booth,
founder of the Salvation Army,
when asked the secret of his
success, answered, “God had all
of me there was to have.” D. L.
Moody, perhaps the greatest
evangelist America has produc
ed, became a mighty force for
God when challenged by the
words, “The world has yet to
see what 'God can do in and
with and through a man who
is wholly yielded to Him.”|
Moody resolved within himself,,
“I will be that man,” and went
on to turn this nation upside
down (excuse me, rightside-up)
for Christ.
Enthronement of Jesus Christ
aS 'Supreme and Only Lord is
always the key to success in the
Christian life —and nothing else
deserves to be called “The
Christian life.” A half-hearted
allegiance that relegates God to
a small segment of our lives,
honoring Him and serving Him
on our own terms, when we
please, as we please, and if we 1
please, is a sham, a fraud, and
a hollow mockery of true 'Chris
tianity v Salvation d£u<;nds not
only on true in Christ as Sa
viour, but also as Lord (Acts
16:31, for example: “Believe on
the LORD Jesus Christ and thou
shalt he saved”.) If we do notj
give Him complete control of
our lives, we just aren’t really
saved.
Many, I fear, are trusting in
an emotional experience they
had at some revival meeting
oncc„ in church membership, in
baptism, who have never really
surrendered their lives to Li

KNOW YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY
Earl W. Trinkle, representative of the Social Security
Administration, is in Edenton every Thursday at the North
Carolina Employment Security Commission office in the
Citizens Bank Building.
“I just had my appendix re
moved, can I get disability pay
ments from social security?”
This question and many of a
similar nature are often asked
of the Norfolk Social Security
Office.
The answer is generally no.
In order to receive benefits from
social security under the disa
bility provisions of the law, a
person must have a serious phy-|
sical or mental impairment thati
is expected to continue indefi
nitely.
Temporary disabilities are not
covered in the social security
disability program. The ailment
must be one of long duration,
and it must be of such severity I
that no substantial gainful work
can be done.
Disability payments are made
to persons over 50 years of age
who have been disabled for at
least six months and whos« phy
sical or mental impairment is
expected to continue indefinite
ly. This provides partial re
placement of the income the
person has lost due to his or
her disability.
In addition to meeting the dis
ability standards, a disabled per
son must have worked for at
least five out of the ten years
prior to the beginning of his
disability. This must be work
covered by the social security
