"Tha wh«l* elty was In tur moil." Aett 21:30. Crusaders for righteouness may set a city on edge. Paul the flam ing preacher of the Gospel had set the city of Jerusalem in a stfite of exciting and effusing turmoil. Here we have a‘ 3ra- matic clash between the^^prces ' of t1i« pW order and l^,;riew order of redemption thi^^sus , had come to bring intSMing. One man under the inflM^'^of a HOiy Passion had t«rnJlil*^ty up side down. A city was con- i fronted by a new-born soiil in ‘ Jesus Christ. We see a storm irt Jerusalem centered around the Apostle Paul a crusading preach er of the Gospel. In the Gospel ; of Jesus there is the power of a NEW "Life. The old city was afraid of this power of the new (life that Jesus the cruciftid and risen one had let loose.4iji the world. Just think of the power • of this prcachcr of the Uospel of Jesus, our Savior. “The whole city was in turmoil.” There is a transforming power in the Gospel. Truly this Gospel is the power of God Almighty unto salvation. The old order could not rest contented in the presence of the very emobdi-' ment of this power of the new life. The preacher himself was an example of the power, of this new life in Christ. They knew the power of the new life in Christ had made this same Piul a flaming crusader for Jems. Thus the very preaence of th^ preacher threw them into • tumultous state of fearful excite- ,ment. One (Jod‘inspire4 i^ad 'iiad thrown the city into ta state turbelence and turrfoil. The ^ preacher is thus mariTBd aa agitator or disturb^ cl the city was being corrupted in the black holes and huts of evil Three crusaders for a new life came forward and brought re form and new life to this tin infested community. Thank God the Gospel can make a new mac and k ftew community. Christ is the hope of you and your city. Tlie new man can bring in the new city. What •bout your city? Should you as a Christian become a disturber Dear Pripnd: A Society’s development is often determined by its cultural offerings., In a societv such as that of the Durham Community the citizenry cannot afford to do any less than to make available every possible' culturtl facility and outlet for its people. ■ Thds, in sections where the population ttecomes dense, such as that of the Braggtown area, there arises f»«at need for these facilities and outlets. It then becomes the duty of every friend and every resldepfe of both Durham and the Bragg town area to pool their re sources in developing Bragg town's facilities. The Braggtown Library Com mittee and the Braggtown Com munity Organization are putting on a special drive to secure and to maintain a public library in the Braggtown Commiini^y. Thoueh located in the Bragg- town-Mill Grove area thi^ faci lity will be available to tb^ gen eral public and to all who de sire to make use of ssfme. This is your chance to share in the development of our D)ir ham Community; this is yout opportunity to contribute to $ worthwhfle cause for which you can see the results of youi gifts; this is your chance to help curbe juvenile and adult delinquency; and to up-grade the cultural level of our coih- munity.

(Tbit is th« 7th of a tarlti «x- planing public welfare in North Carolina) How old age assistance, one of the ma.1or financial aid programs of public welfare in North Caro lina, helped two .aged sisters 'live more satisfying life after they outlived their savings, is a typical case history in which you will be interested. These two ladies, both over 80 years old, nr-ver married. In their younger days both taught school. Though their salaries were low both managed to save a little money after paying their taxes. As their parents grew old er, their farm became rundown and when the parents died the farm was in a bad state of re pair, for it had not been cultivat ed for years. A series of illnesses used up the sisters’ savings.' There were no relatives to come to their aid, and the two old ladies, proud but poor, had but a few dollars left in their bank ac count when they realised that theirs was indeed a serious situation. They met the eligibility re quirements for old as sistance. Both are 05 years of age. They ar^Si|Ljieed because they do not the essential requirments SSp daily living. They are not living in a public institution, anil are not patients in an institution for tuberculosis or mental ^seaMs. And they have residants of North Carolina for , the' year and actually thto.ie^re lives.

ANSWER; There are five classes of motions main, sui>- sidiary, pHviledged. incidental, and Unclassified (special main motions). And we should know six thingg about each motion; 1) Can the motion interrupt a speaker? 2) Does it require a second? 3) Is it debatablh? 4) What vote is required? 5) Can a motion be proposed a second time,' if lost? 6) What can be done with the motion? That is, what other niotions may be applied to it? The writer pf this column hag motions charts which answer these six questions and are ar ranged to the classes of mo- ti^.

If Social Security permitted retirejnent at age 60 with an bicontfe of $200 a month, plus ^100 for eact> dependent of any nj^t *t least five million work- ittf AmeHcftns would retire, unen>ploym‘ent would drop driimaticBlly, welfare loads would dwindle, contributions io unemf>Ioyment compensation funda colud be drastically re duced, and the nation’s bus iness climate would get healthy again. Thia is the target chosen by SIXTY NOW, non-profit cor poration chartered as a national organization in May in Colum bus, Ohio, by a group in Toledo. With a minimvnn of fanflare and publicity, SIXTY NOW has grown in thirteen weeks of operation to a member^ip of over 10,000. Moat of these are in the Toledo area, where SIXTY NOW originated, but member- ahlpa are coming in dally, by mall, from 1*7 states. Although IWXTY NOW is not k trade union movement, It ««a given a flying start with unioh coviributions and sup port. The idea* on which 8IXTY WOW were founded have been in ^Naduaakm, in one way Or anotiMr, Ml over the country' tor several yeara: and the act ual organiaation waa a apont- anaotia dedaion by « group of ptnatonara, union members, and pwbUe apirited eitiaana to try coordlnatt atwtha wtfd^ h*UI beliefs. Those who have retiredi ot about -to retire, have diacoverei^ that Social Security benefit^ average slightly more than 173,- 00 per month. Without aoihk sort of supplement, eittier from union pennons, annuities,- or substantial savings, this is- not enough to live on. Those who have suffered long layoffs, or who have seen their seniority protection shrink as unemployment riatt, have noted the fact that mil lions of workers who would like to retire oan’t affbrd to do so, and millions who would likt to find job’s can’t find them. This, in their view, puta thifc “idleness” at the wrong end oi the age bradcet. 3Vfuch attention has been paid to the question of whether oif not early retirement is-a dangef or a boon to workers. Compulsory retirement;^ ai such, appears, in the opinion ol many to be a definite health hazard. Sudden separation.ront a daily Job at an advanced apt (the annual average age of r«> tHrement is 68) seenw to M i serious risk.
