Opportunity For Our Children
Our children, the nearest and dearest things to our
hearts, are being offered one of the best opportunities
of a life time if we as parents wil ltake advantage of it.
The Board of Education is offering a six-year pro
gram of school expansion in a building project which
will relieve congested conditions, give room in the
schools for extensive expansion in agricultural and in
dustrial shops, adequate classrooms space, gymnai
sum auditorium space, and many things that are need
ed to meet the requirements today of our boys and
girls in a changing world.
We, as humans, instinctively buck at any raise in
the cost of living. But we still get what we want if we
want it badly enough. Do we want the opportunity
being offered to us badly enough to go after it? If ad
vantages for our children are not worth fighting for,
what is there left to fight for?
The $2,202,000. building program for schools of
Duplin sounds steep when first mentioned, but when
one thinks of the cost of building, and then stops to
realize that when the program is completed at the end
of six years it will be paid for, it almost sounds like a
miracle. One County in Eastern N. C. has recently had
to issue $23,000,000 in school bonds during the past 10
years.
Go to your County Commissioner and tell him you
are for this program for your children. The Commis
sioners of Duplin are anxious to carry out the wishes
of the people, it is your money they are spending, and
they want to know how you feel about subjects.

SAYS
DEAR MISTER EDITOR:
I see by the papers where Sena
tor Kefauver says we ought to have
a full investigation of the 'integrity'
of our Guvernment. Most folks
back home would be satisfied if
they'ed just find it. When things
is going bad in Washington, the
Republicans claims the Democrats
is running It and the Democrats
say the Republicans is at the wheel.
It confirms a suspicion I've had fer
years, that most of the time it's
running itself.
It reminds me of that time the
Judge had two fellers up fer being
dead drunk and turning their car
over. When he ask one of them just
who was driving at the time, the
feller scratched his hed. studied fer
a spell and said: "Honest, Mister
Judge, the last I recollect we was
both riding In the back seat." When
things ain't going good in the Con
gress, everydoby in Washington is
riding in the back seat.
What we call our foreign pol
icy, fer instant has been wobbling
around fer years like a peanut in a
pukin shell. The Republicans
blame it on the Democrats and vise
verser. And whilp thev'ro m-ini
over whether the barn burned down
or burned up, tliem uubSiai.:, is

be the dum gitting a little the best
of it.
As a general thing, I figger the
two-party system is the best form
of Guvernment, but sometimes I
wish we could git a third party and
put all the screwballs from the
other two parties in it, then the
Democrats and Republicans could
get down to business and git some
pun done.
As it is, our Congressmen has
a pritty hard time of it, a heap of
the time making the right move at
the wrong time, like the girl that
hurt her back trying to git into her
girdle. She was wiggling when she
should've been waggling.
But it's mighty comforting to git
our new Congress back in session.
They operate the biggest give-away
program on earth. A feller at
the country store said Saturday
night that the Lord helps those who
helped theirself but that Congress
would help anybody.
Incidental. I see where we got
four members in the new Congress
that can play the guittar. When I
was a boy, if you saw a feller with
a guitar strung around his neck
you knowed he was a wandering
bum. Today he can either be a tele
vision star with two yachts or a
Congressman with four different
plans fer reducing taxes - in a elec
tion year.
Yours truly.

Are you interested in Quick and
Trifty Meals? Meals in a matter
of minutes especially the thrifty
ones are problems with most home
makers. Sometimes we have the
idea that attractive and good meals
must be made up of expensive
foods. Of course, this is not true.
Most of our meals are planned
around the main dish meat. What
is one form of meat that all farm
families have right at hand that is
not expensive? Sausage! Do you
always prepare it the same way?
Do you think it's just an everyday
dish. If so try the following recipes.
SAUSAGE SKILLET CASSEROLE
Cook one pound sausage in a
large skillet. Stir occasionally and
break up with a fork while cook
ing. Remove meat from skillet.
Drain off all grease but about 'A

cooked and drained, 2 cups of

or canned, or 1 can condensed to

Heat and serve hot.
NOTE: Ground beef, chopped
chicken, canned fish, or other sea
foods may be substituted for the
sausage and any other cooking fat
for the sausage fat.
To complete the meal, serve:

H. Moore, Field Representative, of
the Wilmington, N. C, Social Sec
urity District Office wishes to re
mind the self-employed that filing
of a 1959 tax return Is required if
the net profit from any trade or
business or a combination of busi
nesses is $400 or more, regardless
of whether any income tax is due.
This is true no matter how old or
young you are, and even if you are
receiving social security benefits.
If the net profit is over $400, the
only self-employed persons exempt
from filing a return for scoial sec
urity purposes are medical doctors.
Ministers are also exempt if they
have not signed a waiver certificate
electing coverage under the Social
Security Law. The only group that
may file returns if the net profit
is less than $400 are farmers with
a gross farm profit of $600 or more.
The tax return is filed with Inter
nal Revenue Service and the self
employed obtain social security
credit when a part of the tax re
turn is sent by Internal Revenue
to social security. The self-employed
person is given credit for 4
quarters under social security for
each year for which a tax return
!s filed if the net profit is $400 or
more.
By filing tax returns self-employed
persons are providing for scoial
security benefits when they reach
retirement ase..65 for men, 62 for
for women, and for disability bene

reaching retirement age. They also

MA.TBE too much Is said about
the peace and Joy of the Chrla
' tlan life. Peace and Joy there are,
to be sure; but hearing about noth
ing else may give Interested per
' sons the notion tyit being a Chris
tian is Just like floating on your
back in a sunlit swimming pool.
half asleep. On
the contrary, the
Christian life is
more like a swim
across the Eng
lish channel,
fighting current,
waves, cold and
hunger. If you're
not prepared to
swim against the
tide, you'll never Dr. Foreman
make it. Saint Paul more than once
used language about the Christian
life that make it sound like a fight.
He compares it to a race (2 Tim.
4:7), to a boxing match (same
verse), to a wrestling match (Eph.
6:12), to a war (Eph. 6:10f), to a
battle with wild beasts (1 Cor.
15:32). He urges his young friend
Timothy, who was a bit of a
mother's-boy, to take his share of
suffering like a good soldier of
Jesus.
Whara the Fight Starts
If this world were the kind of
place that would give no trouble
at all to a real Christian, it would
not be the world that needed to be
"saved." It is precisely because the
world does not welcome 100
Christians that It did not welcome
Jesus; it is definitely the hostility
of the world that brought Christ
here to endure the Cross.
Jesus did not go around picking
on the world, and the Christian has
no business picking on it, either.
The way to be a good soldier of
Jesus is not, usually, to start nriivg
at will. There is enough fighting to '
be done without picking fights.
Consider the story of Paul's ar
rest at Jerusalem. It wasn't exactly
arrest. It was being taken Into pro
tective custody to keep from being
beaten to death by a lynching-bent
mob. What caused the uproar?
Slander caused it, for one thing;
Paul was accused of sacrilege, de
filing the Holy Place,' which he had
not done at all. Prejudice caused
it, including race prejudice; Paul
was accused, truthfully enough, of
being friendly with Gentiles. There
were other factors, but already we
can see the kind of cause that can
always be found back of opposition
to Christians: Accusations of which
Paul was Innocent, and hatred of ,
the very thing he did that was
good. The Christian will at times
be misunderstood, but even when
he is fully understood he still may
be a target for broken bottles.
Enduring
There Is one very important dif
ference between Christian "war
fare" and literal war as carried on
in the modern world. The GI or
other soldier at the front carries a
deadly weapon. He goes after the
enemy by bringing him pain and .
catastrophe, he destroys him if he
can. The Christian soldier carries
on his war by turning the enemy
(of God) into a friend. He fights
not by Inflicting suffering but by
enduring it. Paul being beaten by
that insane mob was not fighting
back. He would not have done It If
he could. He wrote to friends that
he carried the "marks of the Lord
Jesus" about with him, and he
meant literal scars. Read what he
says about his trials In 2 Cor. 11:
23-28.
Witnessing
The other way the Christian sol
dier fights is by simply witnessing.
It is an Impressive sight. Paul with
his clothes torn, himself bleeding
and in fact half dead, looking more ,
ike an Egyptian bandit than a
toman citizen, quieting the crowd
vith a gesture, and then In their
iwn language telling the story of
ow he became a Christian. That
ook courage. It was really his be
ng a Christian that started the
rouble. But this is what he will
lot tone down or deny. The Chris
ian warfare is by witnessing. Let
io one say this Is all talk, that talk
3 cheap and easy, that nobody ia
roing to lynch you for being a
Christian In America today Isn't
t true, disgracefully true, t
many Christians keep quiet r -it?
