Blder Henry ouford Clark of
Spanish Pork, Utah, and Elder
James Edward Brown of Ogden,
Utah, both ministers representing
the Church of Jesus Christ of Lat
ter-day Saints, are . in Wilkes and
Sorry counties doing full time
missionary work*^np^
These young missionaries are
only two from a total of some
<,500 men and women who are
engaged in full time missionary
work representing the church ol
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
throughout the world.
Previous to their arrival in the
mission fife Id, these missionaries
were worthy members of the
church, who worked at varioui
occupations or professions in regu
lar daily life. When called by theii
church to fill a mission, they leave
*unlfcr, home and friends an4
serve for a period of from tw6 t<;
three yearg to whatever place the
Church has called them. After the
mission is completed, they return

home to continue on in their
communities working as carpen
ters, machinists, engineers, lawy
ers, doctors, students, and etc.
Their greatest desire Is to tell
everyone in the world of their
message — something that they
feel would be of inestimable value
to everyone — a simple, yet amas
lng message. It is simply this, God
has again spoken to men just as
he spoke to' Moses and other pro
phets centuries ago — as one man
speaks to another. Through these
divine revelations they claim
that the Church of Jesus Christ
has been re-established back to
the earth. £
So sincere is the belief of each
of these young misslpnaries in
this declaration and of their im
portance to everyone, they are
willing to spend two to three years
on a mission entirely at their own
expenses,, receiving no monthly
compensation whatsoever, neither
from their church, nor the peo
ple here in the mission field, in
order to tell this great gospel
message. They are entirely sup
ported from their own precious
savings, or parents or friends at
home. In this way they go about
their activities without being a
, burden to society and truly obey
ing the admonition of Christ:
"Freely ye have received; freely
ye shall give!" It Is certainly a
' singular thing — so many men
and women giving so freely of
their time at their own expense.
It is something that few other
people in this day and age^would
do for their ideals. Certainly the
mormon story is worthy of con
sideration by all thinking people.

By IX) I)IS H. CLEMENT,
Manager ,
Last week I discussed the need
of . Social Security for children.
Today we shall-SO further Into the
Old-Age and Survivors Insurance
benefits.
Monthly insurance benefits help
to provide basic family security.
They help make it possible for a
family to stay together while the
children are growing up. Child
ren are given the opportunity to
finish, high school, and mothers
are given a better opportunity to
stay at, home and give their full
attention to homemaking and
child rearing. Social Security
benefits do not replace the entire
earnings for the family which are
tost because of the worker's re
tirement or death, but they help to
meet this loss through regular
payments during the years when
family responsibilities are heavest.
Children's benefits and benefits
for widows with children in their
care may be paid only when the
wage earner, on whim a child is
dependent, ° is insured. To be in
sured the worker must have been
employed a minimum time and
earned a minimum amount in Jobs
covered under the Old-Age and
Survivors Insurance system.
Benefits payable to a worker's
family are figured from the
amount of his benefit from the
monthly benefits is three-fourths
of the amount to which her hus
band would have been entitled.
Each child receives monthly bene
fits equal to one-half his father's
benefit. The amount of the work
er's benefit is based on his aver
age monthly wage in Social Secur
ity jobs and also on the length of
time in such employment. A fam
ily may not receive more than
$85.00 a month or ° less than
$10.00 a month.
In event a member of your fam
ily dies, a survivor should contact"
the Social Security Administration
If the deceased worked on jobs
covered by the Social Security
Act. Or, If you are sixty-five or
over and have retired from cover
ed employment, file your claim
for benefit promptly. Delay In
filing claims may mean loss of
benefits.

North Wilkeeboro again on

Shite Scientist Says
Sheep Are Profitable
North Carolina farmers who
are looking for a livestock enter
prise may find the answer to their
Questions la sheep, says Lemuel
Qoode, animal husbandry scientist
with the North Carolina Agricul
tural Experiment Station.
Goode says he la convienced that
4 well managed flock can be one
of the moat profitable enterprises
in the State.
He hag plenty of good reasons
to support his conviction. One' of
the- more Important reasons U
that the number of s^eep in this
eountry has declined rapidly An
recent years. Lamb prices are ex
pected to stay at a high level
longer than prices of beef or
pork. Also lamb is a speciality pro
duct and has less price fluctua
tion than other meats. Wool, a
second product from sheep, lessens'
the risk of the investment. Wool
prices are high jmd should remain
high with government support.
Goode says a farm with 12 to
15 acres of good Ladino clover
can graze a flock of SO breeding
ewes. On the other hand, this acre
age could grase only about six
eows.
A SO ewer flock, is not only large
enough ot make a sizable contri
bution to the family income but
>also is economical from a manage
ment pdtat of view. The invest
ment is large enough so the far
mer will not be* tempted to neg
lect them. *
Sheep are unsurpassed in their
. 1 "
ability to ntlliM pastures and
roughage. Ladlno clover supplies
the tender, nutritious forage that
sheep thrive on. Another desirable
feature of sheep, according to
Goode, As the small* Investment
compared to other livestock and
the quick financial returns. Bwes
bought in the wring or i
mer should produce one lamb
a crop of wool within 12 month^l
Goode says that'an economical >
flock of not lew than 2* ewes is «
usually best. Beginners may add
purebred stock after they hart*
gained experience.
