Baptist Yovth Rally
It was Saturday night, we were running a little late,
Yes we all crowded in the old wagon, the trip was great.
The people at the First Baptist Church greeted us on the
scene,
Mr. Henry was the only one we knew, to him we did lean.
I guess the congregation numbered two hundred or even
more,
The sermon was great, the thane was Jesus Knocking at the
Door.
There is a lot of Christian people, enough to turn this world
around,
If we would only do our part after Jesus we have found.
Mr. Henry is a new man in this vicinity, you know,
He is the one that performed the associational magic show.
I really enjoyed it all from the beginning to the very end,
We’ll have another rally in the near future, I don’t know
when.
Yes, my nine year old grand daughter Mary Kay,
Was invited to sing for that special program that day.
Over the microphone Mary Kay’s voice really rang,
She was complimented on how wonderful she sang.
Her first selection was Mansions on the Hilltop,
With that hymn she did not show no sign to stop.
Next she sang, Because He Lives, we know that is true,
We know he lived and died for both me and you.
Yes, the scripture plainly teaches that a little child shall
lead,
If we believe the Holy Bible, on God’s Word we should feed.
Mary Kay has been churched to this point of life, you know,
I hope in the future in her life it will always show.

Field Representative
Recipients who earned
over $2760. and received one
or more monthly Social
Security checks in 1978 must
submit an annual report of
their earnings to Social
Security by April 15.
The report asks for the
amount of earnings from
wages and self-employment
last year by people who
received monthly Social
Security payments. It also
requires an estimate of
earnings for 1977.
The report is used to
determine if recipients were
paid the correct amount of
Social Security benefits for
1976.
It is also used to adjust
their monthly Social
Security paymoits from
1977 according to their
estimated earnings.
Full Social Security
benefits were due to be paid
to eligible people in 1976 if
they earned $2760. or less for
the year.
But regardless of how
much they earned for the
year, they could be paid
their full Social Security
benefits for any month in
which they earned $230 or
less and didn’t do sub
stantial work in their own
business.
The 1977 earnings limit is
S3OOO. for the year or $250.
per month.
Recipients who file a late
annual report or do not file
one that is due may be
penalized.
Recipients who were age
72 or over in all months of
1976 do not need to file an
annual report of their
earnings.
If you have questions
about the annual report or
need an earnings report
form, call or write any
Social Security office.
The Elizabeth City Social
Security office is located at
ill Jordan Plaza, next to
Southgate Mall (phone 338-
2161) and is opoi 9 to 4:30

McCall Stody Fiads Stereotyping Often Students Security
Stereotyping of college
students was the topic for a
recent winter term folklore
project by Edenton fresh
man David McCall at St.
Andrews Presbyterian
College.
In his project McCall
sought to answer two
questions: what forms of
stereotyping are used by
students and how does it
affect relations between
students.

St. Anckews, McCall ex
plored the categories of
stereotypes and lifestyles of
students on campus. In
terviews, observations and
a scientific calculation of
data helped McCall
distinguish differences
between individual
students, groups of students,
and dormitories, resulting
in stereotyping.
Students are categorized
by their ideas, beliefs and
attitudes with students of
similar interest being
clumped together. Through
the pressure of being
stereotyped and sharing
interests, McCall says,
these dumps or peer groups
congregate in certain ureas
of the campus, namely the
dining hall.
Using stereotyping as the
basis for most prejudice,
McCall continues,
stereotyping takes place in
all walks of human society.
He lists reasons for
stereotyping as amusement
and security. In describing
the process which has a
snowballing effect, MCall
found that students most
often stereotype the people
they don’t want to associate
with. By associating with
the same people peer groups
are formed.
McCall says that these
peer groups congregate at
meal times in the same way
everyday to provide
security and unconsciously
assuring students of
associating with the same
people.
Thursday, March 10, 1977:’
The end result of.
stereotyping is a certain
sense of security but also
aided a feeling of
separation. “The sword of
prejudice,” McCall con*
eludes, “sets up a strong
defense and provides
security.”
Little deeds of kin chess,
little words of love,
Help to make earth happy
