Jenkins leaves this week for Chapel Hill to take up his du ties there, the congregation is happy that the conference was able to find in North Wilkesboro a man who is fitted by training and character to fill the dif ficult position at the university church. His college training and record as college president will make him es pecially fitted to work among the many hundreds of students and members of the faculty of that great insitution of learning. The church here feels much consoled over the loss of Dr. Jenkins in knowing that he is receiving quite an honored promotion. On the other hand the local church is being supplied with a most able and consecrated minister in the Rev. H. K. King, who was transferred from Jones boro, Arkamsas, to North Wilkesboro. Rev. Mr. King has been prominently connected with the church, is well edu cated academically and practically, has traveled extensively, and is a wholly consecrated Christian churchman. The North W^ilkesboro Methodist church feels fortunate in that a man of Rev. Mr. King’s type could be found at the time Dr. Jenkins was transferred to Chapel Hill. Old Age Pensions One of the major developments of a higher civilization than may be expect ed within the next few years is a plan whereby security for aged people may be brought about through some kind of a system of old age pensions. This plan will be presented by Presi dent Roosevelt to congress meeting in January. The idea is one that has been given great consideration by the president and it is expected that he will work for early action on a pension plan when congress convenes. If it is worked out in a practical man ner it will be one of the greatest de velopments of the modern age. Plan.s so far are too incomplete to give an ac curate conception of what may be de veloped when congress meets. Commenting on the question of old age security the Twin-City Sentinel makes the following pertinent obser vations : ‘And isn’t it pitiable—that junk heap we Americans of the past and present have made of our used-up manhood and womanhood? The old mother has been the family beast of burden in the poverty-stricken home. She has cooked and washed and ironed, borne children and bequeathed to them her love and service. Oftimes the same hand that rocked tlfe cradle also plied the mat tock and the hoe in the fields or tended a factory machine. And now that her hair is white, her back bent, her child- rearing and hard labor over, America has no further use for her. Let her go to the poorhouse, poor wretch, this is her reward for helping make a nation great. “And the old man you see yonder in the almshouse was once a splendid citi- xen. He reared a large family, paid his tithe to his church. As laborer, me chanic, bookkeeper, he gave unstinting- ly of his service to his employers. But when the eyes grew dim, his walk halt ing, his hair white, industry kicked out its used-up servant, foul circumstance dissipated his saving, and he too, must live his old age out in abject misery and want.’’ It’s one thing to be active in youth and middle age with a bank account, a good home, and earning capacity. It is another thing to be old, bankrupt jwd without means cf support. r.: ■ . ^4: THi KmOT, NORTH A^ecent pr«M survey of what Piw- .dent Roosevelt and the adnuRiatratlon is favoring sheds little . lighton the^ question of whether tie President is radical or conservative. ■ Writers have termed the radical ten dencies as swinging to the “left” and the more conservative policiM as going to the “right.” We shall use these terms for brevity. The survey of what the administra tion is doing and favoring tends to show that a middle course is being adopted with both radical and conservative poli- ncies that may be calculated to sooth the troubled waters on both sides. Some of the more radical tendencies are included in the proposed investiga tion of the American Telephone and Telegraph company and further experi ments in the power industry, and Secre tary of the Interior Harold C. Ickes’ home building, plans and Relief Admin istrator H^rry L. Hopkins’ relief pro gram. On the conservative side we have the displacement of General Hugh John son by S. Clay Williams, representing big business and industry, as head of the NRAr the President has so far re fused the pleas for further inflation of the currency and plans seem to be in the offing that investors will be assured of the future course of monetary mat ters in order that they may go ahead with expansion. After all is considered, it appears that the administration will continue the present New Deal policies and at the same time turn a deaf ear to the pleas for more radical administration of governmental affairs. Week h THE MAN FROJt' YnckH . Noy. J«. (Atttj? Sunday School Lesson By REV. CHARLES E. DUNN THE CHRISTMN AS WITNESS Lesson for December 2nd. 1 Thess. 1:1-10. Golden Text: Acts 1:8. God. in His infinite wisdom, has bestowed many gifts upon His children. Among these is that supreme power of influence. Each of us is a witness, a light, a herald of whatever truth the Creator has implanted within us. Our witness-bearing may be weak and wavering, but it is an inescapable activity we cannot dodge. It is a favorite idea of Jesus that His fol lowers possess in themselves lights that they must not hide under bushels or beds, but placed upon candlesticks. Now a light, from the point of view of chemical analysis, is a mere pocket of glowing heat. But think of its amazing effect upon our lives! It is the warmth that cheers us from sun or hearth, the power that cooks our food, the energy that gener ates steam. So it is with man! Some one has figured that the average person contains fat sufficient for seven bars of soap; enough iron to make a medium sized nail; enough sugar to fill a shaker; lime adequate to whitewash a chicken coop; and a little phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, and sulphur. These, mark you. are all worth but 98 cents! And yet what a gigan tic influence is radiated from this cheap bun dle of life! "A great man,” says Carl/le, “is tlie living light-fountain, the light which en- lighleii.s the darkness of the world.” !\iuch of this influence is conscious, direct, and is largely expressed through an institution, which Emerson well called the lengthened shadow of a great man. But the finest brand of influence is unconscious. St. Paul, in our lesson, reveals his Christian witness in the proud declaration. ‘‘You know the sort of men we became among you, as examples for your sakes.” Now the apostle’s example was in part deliberate, forthright, tor he was a positive, flaming evangel not ashamed to openly pro claim Christ. But it is safe to say that his best influence was exerted indirectly as the unconscious expression of his spirit. An Illinois man bumped his head on a desk and has been unable to talk since. Several married men want to know just what part of the head was bumped and how hard.—Mem phis Commercial Appeal. Wish Einstein would lay oft curved space a while, and explain why a telephone receiver cord persists in twisting up in 40 knots.—Mo bile Register.

As to that, we can’t say exactly, but we su spect it's pedestrians.—Boston Herald. casrir)—are gdlng to hoar a lot a>bo‘ut Marrlner Stod dard Eccles, the new Oovemor of the Federal Reserve Board. For one thing, he will be the first man to occupy that post who can be counted on to ”play ball" with the Treasury all the time. That is regarded as of the hipest im portance, for it is through the Federal Reserve Banks that ^^all of the fnnds must be' raised for the Government's spending pro- gram-^nd there Is going to be some more. Under Governor Eccles the Federal Reserve system will function as a central bank co operating with the Government and under complete Government supervision. And if anybody asks you who thought of that idea,' tell ’em it’s one of Eccles' own. And hat is only one of the fi nancial and economic Ideas which, have originated with this slender, dark-eyed, 44-year-old banker from Utah. He has been around Washington only since the beginning of the year, but he has been the Administration’s chief adviser on banking and credit policies from the moment of his arrival. His Banking Recoi'd Born in Utah, where his fath er, a Scotch immigrant, had set tled, Eccles was brought up in tho Mormon church, and when he was 20 he was sent to Europe as a .Mormon missionary. It is not disclosed how many converts he made, but he brought back a wife, whom he found in his fath er’s native Scotland. Then he got a job in a bank, and before long he owned a bank, then an other and another. By the end of 1932 he controlled two big bank ing institutions, one of them with sixteen branches and the other with seven. Every one of them Incidentally, was sound as a nut when the banking crisis oc curred. Mr. Eccles wanted to find out what was the matter with the nation’s economic system. Short ly after the depression began he made it his business to collect everything that anyone else had written about it and to talk to as many men as he could find who had opinions. Out of all of these contacts he evolved a fi nancial program for the United States, which he reduced to pap er. He was sure it would work, but not being a.politician, not even a Democrat, he didn’t have much expectation of getting any body in the Roosevelt Adminis tration to even look at his plan. Eccles then happened to meet Stuart Chase, who had been working out some ideas for the New Deal himself. He and Chase hit it off, and Chase suggested that Eccles get in touch with a Columbia Professor named Rex- ford Guy Tugwell, who was close to the President-elect. Since he had to come east to answer some questions to which the Senate Banking Committee wanted an swers, and which he answered by giving the committee a copy of bis document, he stopped off in New York and called up Pro fessor Tugwell. The two men spent a few hours together, then Eccles bopped a plane and flew back to Utah. The bank holidays were beginning, and he couldn’t stay East to attend the inaugura tion of President Roosevelt. Invited To Wasliinjtton Along in October last year Tugwell invited him to come to ■Washington a n'd meet some folks. He met all the king-pins of the Administration, and the next thing he knew was that the President asked him to drop his banking business in Utah and come to Washington as assistant to the Secretary of the Treasury.

InsnraBce And Bnslneea Unemployment insnrance got a boost when the President de clared himself for it, under a system of contributions by em ployees, employers and perhaps, by states, but the fund to be con trolled and managed by the Fed eral government. Old Age insur ance advocates felt disappointed when the President said he was n’t sure the time was ripe for' that, but those close to the Ad ministration say be is for it, but his experts haven’t yet presented a workable plan. There is a srong awing of business support to the Admin istration since the election. Busi ness is afraid the new Congress will propose wild and radical schemes, and even those who do not wholly agree with the Roose velt policies are beginning to feel that he will try to hold the middle of the road, and so are coming to his support. The lowdown on the Admin istration’s new program of legis lation is that there will be a larger and more vigorous policy of spending, no currency infla tion but a great inflation of banking credit.

Answer: Yes. The animals should not have any feed for at least 24 hours .before they are slaughtered. It is easier to get s good bleed when tbe system is not gorged with food and the meat always cures better when the small blood vessels are free from blood and food particles. The animals, however, shon^ have plenty of water before thm at all times so as to flush out the intestines.
