Re-elect Chauncey
Metcalf To Register
Of Deeds
I am a son of the late John Met
calf of Madison County. I aim a
life long resident of Madison Coun
ty, a farmer and carpenter antil a
past Master of French Brotad Ma
sonic Lodge; also a past Patron
of Marshall Chapter, No. 36, OES.
I am a member of Long Branch
Baptist Church, serving on the
board of deacons as chairman.
Folks, get ready for a shock. I
am going to say something about
my opponent, and here it is: He
and has wife are fine people as far1
as I can say. However, he has
had the office Register of Deeds
for eight years, and his wife is a
teacher in the public school. They
also own a farm comparable to a
ranch. Considering these facts, I
am asking you to give me four
more years in office, then I will
be eligible to retire. I think that
would only be fair. How about
you? Think it over.
Sincerely,
Chauncey Metcalf

fja some doubt as to how perma

to wait until next spring to get
a definite evaluation. At this
point we can definitely recom

Despite what you may "think,
breads do not differ greatly in
caloric value. White enriched,
whole wheat, rye, andl gluten
breads are not significantly differ
ent in calories. It is usually the
thickness of bread slices which af
fects caloric content. A slice of
white enriched bread from a pound
load cut into 20 slices contains 60
calories; a thinner slice from a
pound loaf cut in 28 slices con
tains 45 calories.
The variety of breads available,
to the shopper these days is diz
zying. Because there are so many,
the shopper's best friend is the
label. It must tell you tfie pro
duct name, the net weight of the
contents, and the name and ad
dress of the manufacturer, pack
er, or distributor.

NO TIME FOR GOD
, Those woo nave no time for God
should ' consider what their cir
cumstances would be if He had
no time for them; no time to paint
the sunsets, no time to senidi the
warm sun's rays or the refreshing
showers, no time to make the
crops and flowers grow. Wo
doubt that any thinking person
would actually want nothing to
do with God.
Cain despised God's authority
and finally murdered hi.s brother,
but When he was driven froun the
presence of God he said: "My
punishment is greater than I can
bear" (Gen. 4:18).
One of the saddest sentences in
the gospel record is our Lord's
prediction that He would say to:
some: "Depart from Me, I never
knew you, ye workers of iniqui
ty" (Matt. 728). t
Jiueit what it -will mean to be
"oast Into the lake of fire" (Rev.
20:16) we pray God none of our
(readers will ever find out, but the
Scriptures do clearly indicate that
those involved will be cast forev
er out of the presence of God.
Thank God, it is not He Who de
Bires thia. He paid for our sins ait
Calvary to reconcile us to Him
self (Eph. 2:16). St. Paul de
clares that God has called believ
ers "into the fellowship of Hie
son" (I Cor. 1:9) and that at His
coming for them they shall "ever
be with the Lord," adding:
'wherefore, comfort one another
with these words" (I Thes. 4?

Broad Scope Of
4-H Projects
Keep Youths Busy
Heading the list of the top 10
projects undertaken by the na
tion's three million 4 H youths
are animal science, clothing,
foods and plant science. Recent
figures released by the Cooper
ative Extension Service show
that youngsters also are very
much interested in health and
physical fitness.
In addition to animal and
plant sciences, the application
of scientific principles is a part
of nearly all 4-H projects, says
the Extension Service.
Recreation, engineering and
safety are three more areas In
which large numbers of 4-H
member excel. Projects involv
ing management and furnishings
for the home show high enroll
ment, as does conservation.
Community service and per
sonal development are a prime
concern of today's 4-H'ers as
well, judging from the more
than 300,000 participating.
Most 4-H boys and girls spend
their time on more than one
project, as the survey shews.
Boys may be involved in plant
and animal sciences and engi
neering projects.
A girl may study plant science
to make her horticultural proj
ect more meaningful. Or food
science to get the most from her
foods and nutrition projects.
Overlapping areas are safety
and conservation. Both affect
the individual! Jae- home, can
munlty and' nation.
Specific programor projects
carried on under the 10 main
categories have definite objec
tives that help develop skills
and stimulate young minds to

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
By D. C NICHOLS
Field Representative
Q. Now that Social Security baa
been in existence about one-third
of a century (having lately cele
brated its 33rd anniversary)
and since allmost everybody now
has an important stake in this
program Fm sure we all would
like to have a report on the so
cial security system's present fi
nancial condition.
A. As the Commissioner of So
cial Security Robert Ball recently
put it "The financing of the
social security profrraim ia in ex
cellent shape." He made this state
ment just after completion by the
ivoanis of Trustees of the annual
review of operations of the four
Social Security trust funds.
Henry Fowler, Secretary of the
Treasury, is Mamaping Trustee,
and other members of the Boards
of Trustees are Labor Secretary
Willard Wirtz and HEW Secre
tary Wilbur Cohen. Commissioner
Baill is Secretary of the Boards.
The Trustees' Reports, recent
ly sent to Congress, show the So
cial Security system to be finan
cially and actuarially sound. They
show, moreover,, that income to the
two trust funds from which cash
benefits are paid exceeded outgo
by almost $4 billion in fiscal year
1967. Assets of these two trust
funds totalled $25.5 billion at the
end of the fiscal year.
The long-range cost estimates,
calculated over a 75-year period,
"show that the system, as modi
fied by the 17 Amendments,
continues to be financed on an ac
tuarially sound basis. Both the
Old-age and Survivors Insurance
program and the Disability Insur
ance program will have sufficient
income from contributions (based
on the tax schedule and taxable,
earnings base now in tine law),
and from investments, to meat the
cost of benefit payments aaai ad
ministrative expenses both for the
next 15 to 20 years and for the
distant future."
The two other trust funds are
die Hospital Insurance and (be
Supplementary Medical Insurance
trust funds, -which were set up for
Medicare. Fiscal year 1967 was
the first full rear of operation for
these two funds.
The hospital insurance program
(like the retirement and survivor
and tibe disability insurance pro
grams) is financed out of an ear
marked portion of the social secur
ity tax contributions paid by work
ers and their employers. But the
supplementary medical insurance
program is financed by the pre
miums paid by those persons 65
and over who voluntarily enroll,
plus matching amounts paid out
of general Federal revenues.
Total income to the Hospital In
surance Trust Fund in fiscal year
1967 amounted to $3.1 billion. Dis
bursements totalled $2.6 billion.
At the end of June 1967, assets
of the fund amounted to $1.3 bil
lion. Estimates for the next 26
years show that, taking into ac
count the improvements enacted
by the Social Security Amend
ments of 1967, the hospital insur
ance program has a favorable ac
tuarial balance Le., the total
income over the 25 years ahead
is expected to exceed total outgo.
Income to the SMI Trust Fund
in fiscal year 1967 totalled $1.3
billion, while disbursements ia the
same period totalled $798 million.
At the end of its first year of op
eration, assets of the fund amount
ed to $486 million.
Under the law, the SIC premi
um rate for any period is to be
set at a level that will bring in
sufficient funds to cover the ben
efit payments and processing
easts for that period The iiaseut
premium rate is $4. (Since pre
vision is made for keeping this
program setf -supporting en a year-ts-fssr
basis, tbera apparently is
no aaad tor kmg-texm projections
for this part of fee 8odsI Secur
ity program.)
