A public hearing was held by the
Department of Insurance on Sept.
21, 1949, to consider these propo
sals and it was brought out that the
pre-war private passenger cars are
not paying their part of the losses
on collision coverage; but the Com
missioner requested additional
statistics to be filed with the De
partment for justification of this
claim.
A thorough study of the facts is
brought out at the public hearing
has resulted in approval of the fil
ing with respect to fire, theft and
comprehensive, resulting in a con
siderable reduction to policyhold
ers. With respect to the collision fil
ing and on the basis of a study by
the Insurance Department of infor
mation by the North Carolina Fire
Insurance Rating Bureau, the De
partment has approved their filing
for changes in collision rates, re
sulting in an overall reduction it
an estimated saving of $527,797.
The three-fold purpose of the ob
servance is to report to the nation
on over-all 4-H achievements, to
recognize outstanding members,
leaders, and parents, and provide
a basis for planning next year's

Reports from State leaders indi

Trust God
Lesson for October 23, 1949
SHOOTING WARS and cold wars
were going on. A great whirl
pool of international intrigue was
roaring around and around, and
Judah was In the midst of every
thing." The star of , "
the once-great em
pire of Egypt was
setting, and the
star of the new and
nowerful nation of
Assyria was rising.
Judah was only
one of 20 or more
little countries be
tween those giants.
Some of the little
nations were try-
JL
Dr. Foreman
ins to take advan
tage of the disturbed situation by
getting up little empires of their
own. All ol tnem were scnenung
and scrambling for a place in the
sun. Some were betting on Assyria,
some on Egypt; no one knew Just
what to expect, but every one was
afraid.
Cowardly King, Bold Prophet
TNTO ISAIAH'S little country of
Judah an Invading army
marching, and the hearts of king
and people trembled "like leaves
In the wind." Little Judah was
being invaded by a combination of
two ambitious powers, Syria and
Israel, either one larger and strong
er than Judah. Isaiah had to go out
and try to calm the mind of the
Kin i?. It was of no use: it was clear
that King Ahaz did not believe the
prophet But Isalan was rigm
nevertheless.
The foreign army that looked
so big would not win the war.
The alliance that looked so
frightening did not last. It could
not last, because God was
against it. Military men and
ethers too find such things hard
to believe.
Is not God "on the side of the
largest battalions"? Is not "Git
thar fustest with the mostest men"
the one and only recipe for victory?
Nevertheless,, the prophet was
right In fact whenever a prophet
raised a banner inscribed. Trust in
God, dt was not likely to be at a
time when things were going
smoothly in the world. That banner
most often appeared in times of
trouble, of darkness and dismay,
of wars and invasions.
Leagues Don't Always Last
The situation had a different
angle, later on. The Syria-Israel
invasion collapsed, just as Isaiah
said it would. But still the little
nations jockeyed and maneuvered.
Il looked like a death-grapple be
tween Assyria and Egypt and
every nation wanted to be on the
winning side. So it was a great
time of treaty-makings, - of pacts
and agreements and alliances.
Isaiah changed the form of bis
message to. suit the changing times, (
but the core of it was"still the samej
To King Ahaz he had said: Don't'
be afraid of hostile alliances; trust
in God. To. King Heaekiah,and
Qth.W he said, in effect: Don't put
all your hope in alliances; trust in
God. Egypt will fail you, any al
liance you form will melt away in
time.
Bat God win net melt away.
Ton can depend on him. New
In our time . the attoattaa la
strikingly like what li was tm
Isaiah's day. People today are
tempted to nut taehr trust tat
what is big aad imposing. Bis;
nation, big armaments, big
amies big alliances.
'Men . once put their trust In the
League of Nations, and It died (of
cowardice and dishonesty, among
other things). Millions put their
trust In the Axis, .and for awhile lt
looked as It the Axis powers would
overspread the earth. But the Axis!
vanished under the blows of the
Allies. .A
' W
Are All Alliances Bad?
THIS does not mean that no al
Ranee is good, or that no treaty;
can be relied on, or that the United;
Nations (for instance) is bound to!
collapse. What Isaiah Is driving sit
Is this; God has a Purpose to work
out In tMa world, and the namo of
it Is Justice, Righteousness, Peace,
Love.
Any nation or combination of
,. nations, any pact er agreement
' or program, that goes against!
God's purpose Is going against
: the gram of things and Is bouritt
to faU. Pare; "power politics"
always looks impressive) but
the aseatlen Is: What Is the
power going ts .be ased fort
If it is really for the benefit of
mankind, God will bless It; but;
If It is selfish, and unjust and;
against the peace of the world, it!
will tall, because the God of Justice
has set his faee against it, : j
