putting runners on first and
second. The next batter

In the bottom of the ninth,
Ted Schnurr grounded to the
Gaston second baseman who
made a fine stop but threw
wild at first. Wayne Lyles
grounded to short and the
shortstop failed to come up
with the ball. Robert Louis
Shearin bunted to move the
runners up but Guthrie's throw
at third was wild and the bases
were filled with Yellow Jack
ets with no outs. Guthrie re
tired Wells on a pop bunt.
Davis followed with a lashing
single and Schnurr raced home
with the winning run.
Letter To The Editor
DOWN WITH Bl'SY-NESS
To The Editor:
Don't misunderstand me.
I'm not against work. I think
it's great. It's the way we
live and life would fizzle out
in no time if it were to be
abolished.
Let's just say I'm not one of
those who dashes back from
vacation a day or so ahead of
time, panting to be back on
the good old job! There has
always seemed to me some
thing a little human about that.
Work is sometimes drud
gery, often fun, and always
necessary for the good of
man's soul, to say nothing of
his pocketbook.
No. What I am against is
the 'busy - busy' complex.
The folks who run past us mut
tering, like the White Rabbit,
"Oh dear . . Oh dear . . .
I'm afraid I shall be late."
They don't see where they
are going, they aren't quite
sure where they have been.
They da&h from committee
meeting to committee meet
ing, from choir practice to
women's meeting. They con
sent to speak on an infinite
variety of subjects; their en
gagement book is bulging and
their time table tightly sche
duled.
They are exhausted but
happy, little realizing that,
spreading themselves busily
and thinly they are really doing
very little that truly matters
or that is of lasting value.
If they are religious people,
engaged in religious work,
they are happy because they
are working for the night is
coming, redeeming the time,
and being about their Father's
business.
Yet, they must sometimes
face a moment of truth when
it occurs to them that per
haps they are dealing in froth
rather than substance.
Faced with some challeng
ing aspect of the human con
dition, or called to meet a
dire need in another's life,
they discover to their horror
that the springs have dried up,
the resources are no longer
.available. Busy here and
there, they have lost their
Lord.
In His three short years of
public life, our Lord lived in
the midst of a bustling, clam
oring, demanding life. He must
have known that His days were
numbered, yet in the midst of
all that surrounded Him, l|w
seems never to have allowed
Himself to be hurried. He
could always find time to sit
on a well and talk to atroubled
soul, to seek out a man hid
ing in a tree and restore him
to dignity and grace, to come
to the home of a little girl and
make her well, and to a busy
housewife suggesting gently
that she might be happier with
a little less busyness and a
little more rest, serenity and
contemplation.
When the crowds became too
pressing and their demands
too much for mind and heart
to bear, He had no hesitation
in going away into the coun
tryside to rest, to meditate
and to talk awhile with His
F ather.
Back in the Old Testament,
Elijah got away from it all,
secluding himself in a cave.
Nothing had gone right. He
was troubled and upset. Even
God had not seemed very help
ful, he may have thought. He
waited and the mighty wind
went roaring by, and the earth
quake rumbled and shook the
earth and the blazing fire leap
ed and consumed. No voice
came to him in any of these
loud and flamboyant manifes
tations, but when it was all
over, in the silence of his still
ed heart, came a small voice,
and Elijah heard at last the
guidance and the encourage
ment he had been too busy to
listen for.
Could it be that you are one
of the "too busy people"?
Are you tired and spent and
a little disillusioned? He calls
us not to more and greater
activity. He says to each one
of us, "Come ye yourselves
apart and rest awhile."
Responding to His invita
tion, we discover that the
beautiful words of the Bible
are everlastingly true? "In
returning and rest shall ye
be saved. In quietness and
confidence shall be your
strength."

Farmers
(Continued from page 1)
ments by sale or lease from
one farm to another within the
same county. This is already
provided by law. Neither will
the vote affect transfers by a
farm owner from one farm to
another owned or controlled
by him, which now can be made
across county lines within the
State.
If at least two-thirds of the
growers of upland cotton
voting in the county mark their
ballots "Yes," transfers of
allotments outside the county
can be made during the author
ized transfer periods for the
1968 and 1969 crops. (A
lease is for any specified num
ber of crop years; a sale, of
course, is a permanent trans
fer of allotment.)
If more than a ".lird of the
growers voting mark their
ballots "No," transfers of
cotton allotments outside the
county cannot be made for the
1968 crop year, and another
referendum on the question
will be held next year.
Watson said that a grower's
ballot comes to him in two
envelopes. One is plain; the
other has a statement on the
back which the grower needs
,o sign. Growers are urged
:o fellow the voting lnstruc
;ions.
In mailing his ballot to the
ASCS county office, a grower
should mark the ballot with
lis decision and put the bal
lot inside the plain envelope
and seal it. Then, the grow
er should place the plain
envelope, containing the bal
lot, inside the envelope with
:he certification on the back
and the address of the ASCS
eounty office on the front.
The certification is that the
the ballot
personally, without undue In
fluence. The certification on
envelope must be signed for
the ballot to be counted. If
signed with a mark, the mark
must be witnessed. Growers
may then either mail It In the
postage free envelope or bring
it to the ASCS office, as he
chooses.
