Unaraday, September 21,1978 ■ M Bandon Notebook By Maggie B.: Action For Clean Water Citizen Responsibility POWER! That’s what it is all about! I realized this when 1 started to type this article this morning and happened -1 failed plug in my typewriter. Each-individual reading this paper has power - voting power - and if we work together and use our votes in the right way, we CAN get our waters cleaned up! Our vote'and our privilege of expressing the way we fed to die people who can do something about it is the BIG STICK we carry. When God placed His creation under man’s dominion it was perfect. That which God made perfect, man has defiled! Our once clear and beautiful Chowan River and parts of the Albemarle Sound are now full of pollution because of man’s irresponsibility and greed. It’s heartbreaking to see our beautiful waters choked with algae. If the situation continues, our waters will be just as dead as the Dead proper officials know just how we feel about this pollution - how it’s affecting industry depending on clean water (such as the Dye Plant), the fishing, all water recreation and the beauty of our waters. Ask how much water is being taken out of the Chowan River each and every day - find out why its BINGO EACH THURSDAY - 8 P. M. AT ST.

God has made available to Christians ample means for overcoming evil. Aim was that adult Christians learn to draw on the resources God has provided for disciplined living. Prayer List: When we pray, we always pray that God’s will be done. Only He knows what the future holds. Please add our friends to your prayer list.

ByLeeWaHio ~ Field Representative People working in em ployment or self employment covered by Social Security are earning credit differently this year than they did before 1978. Social Security credits are measured in units called “quarters of coverage.” A person’s right to benefits is determined by the number of quarters of coverage he or she has. The required number basically depends on a person’s date of birth. No one needs credit for more than 40 quarters of coverage lO years. Starting in 1978, a person received .credit for one quarter of coverage for each $250 of covered annual earnings up to a maximum of 4 quarters if annual earnings are SI,OOO or more. This applies to both employees and self employed people. Before 1978, most em ployees earned one quarter of coverage if they were paid SSO or more in covered wages during a calendar quarter. Self-employed people earned 4 quarters of coverage if their annual net earnings amounted to S4OO or more. In addition, the $250 measure will increase each year to take account of increases in average wages in the U.S. No changes were made in the rales about how many quarters of coverage are required for benefit eligibility. More information about Social Security credits and how they are earned can be obtained at your local So cial Security office. The Elizabeth City Social Sectrity office is located at ill Jordan Plaza next to Southgate Mall (phone 338- 2161) and is open 9:00 to 4:30 weekdays. §g=Oj~ Writer Jamet Joyce wai also a talented musician.

Livingston’s inspiring morning message was entitled “The Glory of Being Alone”, Matt. 13:1-9; 13-23. In our scripture Jesus is talking about each person alone. We are in a mixture of soils.

If we really want Jesus to come into our hearts, we have to break it up. Some of us have a little rocky place. We are not about to get ride of these rocks we think they are pretty! But, if we want to be productive, we have to let these rocks go. A lot of us allow briars to grow in our lives. Even though we may enjoy these things, God tells us to get rid of them. Money can do a lot of things but money can’t do everything. Never put money ahead of Christ. We need to put money back where it belongs lO per cent back to God, 10 per cent for a rainy day and 80 per cent to live on. Try this formula it works every time. We need the sharp edge of the gospel to cut thorns out of our lives and then we come to the good ground and start bringing forth good fruit. Life speaks to each of us t and sometimes we have to i stand all alone the only t dissenting voice in the f crowd. We have the finest i root system in the world. ! Jesus Christ who created all things. Our rootage is > simple. It must be in Christ : or it is not there at all. > Let’s dig up the hard i ground, break up the rocks i and get rid of the thorns and : bring forth glorious fruit which God desires. A representative of “The i Gideons” will be our guest Sunday. i The Covered Dish Supper last Friday night was “out of this world”. Mrs. Louise Waters commented that she had never seen so much really good food in all her life! Many thanks to our Hosts, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond “Bucky” Taylor for an evening of merriment! So much good food, fun and fellowship. Mark your calendars NOW for the 3rd Friday in Oc tober so you won’t miss the > next one. Mr. and Mrs. B.K. Rowley will be our hosts. • The Men’s Fellowship Breakfast went over with a bang! Hosts were Dr. Bill and Jack Edgerton and their committee. Everyone en joyed the fine food and fellowship and the enlightening speech by A1 Howard. Plan to attend the next one 3rd Saturday in October. —O— All of us were a part of History Sunday as we watched the Press Con ference convened at the conclusion of the Camp David Summit Conference at which President Sadat of Egypt, Prime Minister Begin of Israel and President Carter of the United States made public the results of the Con ference. Many, Many prayers were answered as we watched these two men sign two Documents: 1) Framework for Peace in the Middle East from Camp David” and 2) Framework for a Peace Treaty between Egypt and Israel”. I’m sure Page 5-A many eyes were blurred by tears as they watched these men shake hands and embrace one another as friends. This is the greatest step taken by Egypt and Isreal in 2,000 years! —O— Did you vote Tuesday? If you did, that’s, great. Voting is a privilege we should all take advantage of. If you did not vote and had no legitimate excuse for staying away from the polls, you should be ahsamed of yourself. It’s just such apathy that continues to hold us down. In my opinion, you’ve lost the right to express your views one way or the other. That should have been done at the polls. A hearty welcome is extended to ur first timers this week. Mr. Ramzi J. Yousif, now of Virginia Beach but native to Iran, and to Mrs. Lorene B. Blanchard, guest of her husband, Watson Blan chard. We hope you enjoyed our services and will come again soon.
