WORDS OF LIFE
By W. T. HASELDEN, Fastor,
Free Methodist Church
Marphy, N . C.
In keeping with the spirit of
Thanksgiving, the WORDS OF
LIFE will center its meditations
on GIFTS, GRATITUDE, AND
GIVING during the month of
November ....
"TO GIVE IS HAPPIER THAN
TO GET." Acts 20:35.
HE G I V E T H ACCEPTABLY
THAT GIVETH IMMEDIATELY
This is only another way of
saying that the best time to give
is when the gift is needed-most.
Acute needs will not wait on the
good-pleasure or "sweet-time" of
the giver. Generally when a man
needs something, he needs it
now and not in a distant tomor
row.
When the cupboard is empty
and stomachs likewise, he needs
food for his family now when
they are hungry not after they
are well fed. When winter comes
and chills all it touches, he needs
fuel to give immediate warmth
to his shivering little ones . . .and
not after spring comes and
warms-up his household.
Not only is this true of mater
ial things, but of helpfulness and
kindliness and understanding,
which are among the best and
most lasting gifts of all.
When someone is sick, he needs
the help of attentive, capable and
considerate hands right-away, not
next week or after he has recov
ered or after it is too late.
When a man is troubled, wor
ried and despondent, he needs a

helping-hand of . understanding,
comfort, encouragement and
counsel now, when he needs it
most. And if we are too busy or
inconsiderate to give him these
things when he is in the dark
depths of blue-despair, later may
be too late.
When a person is in deep be
reavement, we purpose in our
heart to bring them comfort and
consolation. But if we wait until
we find time or convenience, he
may have fought his dreadful
fight bitterly and alone. A man
filled with sorrow urgently needs
a comforter when his grief is
most acute- When we are aware
of another's need is when our be
neficence should be in evidence?
and not merely when custom or
opportunity is best served.

is built, we've been planning ahead for it.
So when you move in you have all the elec
tricity you need to light, heat and cool your
home, do your other household chores.
Yes, electricity makes your home "living

convenience for the whole family. /

Letter to the Editor
Dear Sir:
Any public school needs more
than a building and a staff of
workers. We here at Hiwassee
Dam are in need of much equip
ment and instructional materials.
Many people have come to the aid
of the school by helping to raise
funds and doing needed things for
the benefit of the children in at
tendance.
Recently, many parents have
become interested in the con
struction of a small building on
the grounds for the purpose of of
fering shop or industrial arts for
those students who wish to learn
something about woodwork, met
alwork, crafts, and possibly weld
ing and mechanics. With students
learning these skills, they could
build shelves, tables and storage
in the school which is badly need
ed. The students and the school
would profit greatly from such
a plan.
The beautification of the
grounds is another project that is
getting under way. Many sources
of help and planning have been
contacted and information con
cerning landscaping has been
gathered. Trees and shrubbery
have been promised. Playground
equipment has been transferred
from the village to the new
grounds and is being installed.
There is a great need for drain
ing of some section of the school
property in order for the beauti
fication program to be carried
out to the fullest extent. If drain
pipe can be obtained. It would be
a nice project for the school to
acquire help trom agencies as
to where the pipe should be laid
for the best benefit.
The school welcomes any help
or advice in reaching these goals
which would make our situation

Highway Patrol
Gets Award For
Storm Warnings
For its part in relaying storm
warnings and assisting with emer
gency communications during
Hurricane Helene, the North Car
ina State Highway Patrol was
recently cited by the United States
Weather Bureau.
A 'public service" award- pre
pared in Washington and signed
by the chief of the Weather Bu
reau, was presented to patrol
cmmander James R. Smith by
Raleigh weatherman Chick Car
ney.
Carney remarked during the
brief presentation ceremonies
helene was by far the most devas
tating natural disturbance to ever
strike anywhere with no loss of
life.
He commended the highway
patrol for its hour by hour co
operation during the storm's
course.
Patrol headquarters assigned
a state trooper to the Raleigh
Durham weather station on a
standvy emergency while Hurri
cane Helen tore at coastal areas
on her way northward.
Other patrol cars cruised con
stantly in the area warning resi
dents of the danger.
The weather bureau award will
be displayed in patrol headquar
ters in Raleigh. Copies will later
be sent to troop headquarters in
Greenville, Fayetteville, Greens
boro, Salisbury and Asheville, Col
Smith said.

the more than six hundred boys
and girls who will be our leaders
of tomorrow.
If those leaders of tomorrow
have the same spirit as the mem
bers of PTA had when they chose
to grass the grounds around the
school house there is no limit to
the accomplishments they may
make.

Handicapped Kids
Of Vets
Receive Breaks
Handicapped children of deceased
war veterans have been given two
"breaks" by an amendment to the
War Orphans Education program,
recently signed into law by the
President.
Veterans Administration explain
ed them this way:
First, the new law now allows
young men and women with handi
caps to begin special types of War
Orphans training when they reach
age 14. Previously they generally
had to wait until their eighteenth
birthday to begin.
Types of training they can take
at age 14 are special restorative
training (such as Braille reading,
lip reading or other courses de
signated to overcome handicaps)
or special vocational training.
Second, the law now authorizes
VA to approve the enrollment of
handicapped young people in rehab
ilitation centers offering special
training. Included are centers oper
ated by State or local governments
or by private agencies. These en
rollments were not originally pro
vided for under the program.
War Orphans Education is for
the sons and daughters of World
War 1, World War II or Korea vet
erans who died in military service
or from service-connected condi
tions after their discharge.
Usually, the schooling is for
young men and women from 18 to
23. While in school, War Orphans
students receive VA allowances of
up to $110 a month.
Full details about War Orphans
Education, as well as about the
advantages now available to handi
capped students, are available at
any office.
