TOO TALI. -- Tom Howell finds a Pinecrest hand between his ball and the goal as Joseph Bridges watches. jbiitaff DEEDS By Jan Christensen Most persons think that rareer preparation is tor the roung, hut not 10 senior :itizens, ranging in age from 52 o 67, who enrolled in a home I?? ; 1 service core training program set up by the Coordinating Council lor Senior Citizens in Durham County. . The two month program is designed to provide a means of bringing together the fragile elderly who need help and the active elderly who can give services. Upon completion of training, the 10 trainees will be ceriitied to help care for other seniors needing care in their own homes. According to Assistant Home Economics Extension Agent, Mrs. Mary J. Whitmore. the trainees are very enthusiastic and willing to learn the principles and techniques in home management that Extension home economists are teaching. C ustom ? made clothes aren't new to the men in the J.M. Booker family. High Point. They have worn exclusive wardrobes for years, thanks to the sewing skills of Mrs. Booker. She fashions suits, all weather jackets, top coats and even shirts for her husband and two sons reports Mrs. Judieth Walker, Extension home economics agent, Guilford County. Mrs. Booker also teaches clothing techniques to others and does sewing and tailoring for her women friends. She does not do custom tailoring for men, other than family members. "I guess you could say I sew for the men in my family out of love." Mrs. Booker savs. Denise and Arlere Adams, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Marion Adams, Rockngham. Rt. 3, find it's lots of fun to sew with their mother. Having completed a sewing course conducted hv Mrs Mirth* P Adams, home economics Extension agent, Richmond County, they were so enthusiastic about then success, they joined forces with their mother to make another dress together. Each did (he part she could do best and the dress was finished in one day. "This way we can get our spring sewing done in a huny and still have a good time doing it." they all agreed. Members of Extension Home makers Clubs in Columbus County are planning to set up a "clothing closet" in each community. Tais will he an effort to collect usable clothing and other fabric items, such as curtains and bedspreads to be distributed to needy families, Mrs. Betty C. Thompson, associate home economics Extension agent, expalins. An idea presented at at Extension Ho me makers meeting 13 years ago added tip recently to a nice roadside stand and a new seller at the Homemakcr's Market. Mrs. Ralph House. Smithfield, Rt. 2. liked the idea of a roadside stand, but wasn't in a position to set one up 13 years ago. Now, both Mr. and Mrs House are unable to hold out side-the-ho me jobs due to physical disabilities. So the vegetable stand keeps them busy, happy and content The stand is a family effoit. Pat Peterson, assistant home economics Extension agent. Johnston County observes Their son raises the vegetable* for his parents to sell. The daughter-in-law and daughtei help Mrs. House prepare the vegetables for market. Mr. House mans the stand A teenage boy had participated with a number of friends in the "borrowing" of a man's car (without his permission!). Because the cur was returned undamaged before the loss was discovered, the police were not notified, but the boy's father found out when he accidentally heard his son and a frfcnd discussing their "wild ride." Confronting his son with what he heard, he insisted on taking away his son's driving privileges with the family cai for three months. This was to be his penalty. "But why, Dad?" his son wanted to know. "There was not any harm done, we got the car back in time, and no one else knows about it but you. I'm sorry it happened and I want to forget the whole thing. Why can't you forget it too'' it doesn't cost you anything to forgive me. Why must it cost me something?" WTiat do you think? Is it ture that there was no harm done? Is he correct in thinking that it doesn't cost us' to forgive? If you were asked to explain how God goes about forgiving us. which of these two answers would you choose? Answer No. I -? When a man sins against God, he incurs a debt with God and, since he cannot pay it, God is ready to condemn him. But Jesus, by! dying on the cross, offers' himself in payment of the debt and persuades the angry God to forgive the sinner. Answer No. 2 -? When a man sins against God it is possible for God to overlook his sin as though it never happened. When we say we're sorry, this is what God does because of his great love for us. The answers suggested abovi are both extremes. In the firs one, God seems harsh ant legalistic. What lie wants i justice and it matters litth whether it is Christ or man who does the paying. In the second answer we see quite the opposite: God doesn't take sin seriously at all He simply overlooks it as if it never happened at all. No one pays anything because there is really nothing to pay. Neither ot these answers are adequate. Both miss some important facts that are evident in the fifty ? third chapter of Isaiah: 4 (1) Sin does cost and cannot be overlooked. (2) God is not reluctant to forgive man, nor does he need to be persuaded by Christ. (3) The justice of God demands that someone pay the terrible price of sin: the love of God offers to pay that price for man. In other words, it is God himself who offers to take upon himslef the burden of sin. When Jesus willingly went to the cross, it was God himsell who was assuming man's guilt and punishment. I The teenage boy, you see, was wrong. There was harm done and it did cost his father something to forgive him. So it is too with God. One of the characters in W.H. Auden's Christmas oratorio. For The Time Being, exclaims: "1 like committing crimes. God likes forgiving them. Really, the world is admirably arranged." But he is wrong: God doesn't Vlike" forgiving us, for it is painful to him He does so only at a terrible cost. So it was loo with the cross which Jesus bore. In it there was a terrible cost: Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; Upon him was the chastisement that made us whole, and with his stripes we are healed Local Officer Recovers Car; Man Held A man is in the custody of FBI agents in Ijunnburg charged with larceny of an auio across state lines, due to the sharp eyes of Raeford policeman J ( Barrinaton. Bamngton saw the station wagon parked in the edge of the woods near the radio station about 12 45 a m. last Monday. Police Chief L.W. Stanton said.

John Ldward Swindler, is now in custody and the station wagon has been returned to the 1.0SG SHOT -RussellDavis tries one from the side as Pinecrest sets up a defense in the semi - final iiame Thursday.

Saving Hearts And Lives ?Now! i ins is me tniru anil unai article in a series of three presented by the Moke County Heart Association to inlornt readers of this newspaper about progress in the fight against heart and circulatory disease Most cases of high bloou pressure can be brought undei control by the lantily physician, provided - ol course --"the patient undergoes a periodic physical examination and is willing to follow the doctor's recommendations. Yet hundreds of thousands of \mericans. blisslully unaware of these facts, go about their daily tasks without knowing that they themselves suiter troin sustained elevated blood pressure. Prompt and effective medical treatment of this disorder, which accelerates atherosclerosis t"hardening ol the arteries") to set the stage for heart attack or stroke, is one of the most effective means by which medical scirnce can now save hearts and lives. the efficacy of new methods of treatment may be suggested by statistics showing j decline of 63 per cent in the mortality rate from high blood pressure and related heart disease among persons aged below 65 since 1950. Deaths at all ages from hypertensive causes now1 total about 61.000 yearlv ?? considerably more than the motor vehicle latality toll. Hypertensive heart disease has a special allinity lor women, afflicting th<m at a rate 44 per cent higher than in men. The black population has a substantially higher prevalence ratio than the white. Most recent estimates are that 8.400,000 American adults suffer from In pcrtensive heart disease pmnarily heart enlargement caused by high blood pressure. It follows that more hearts and lives can be saved, on J "now" basis, if more people will go to ilteii physicians lor a checkup, and. ii high blood pressure is found, follow the doctor's recommendations. Such an examination may also disclose diabetes, another disorder predisposing people to heart attack and stroke, which also can be controlled There are still other areas in which hearts can be saved. Parents, for example, can help safeguard their childien against initial and repeal attacks of rheumatic fever '*. frequent forerunner ol rheumatic heart disease ?? by cooperating more closely with their physicians. Tire door can be closed against most cases of rheumatic fever by prompt and effective medical treatment of "strep infection. Of the estimated 25.000 children horn yearly with congenital heart defects, inanv can be helped by corrective suraery. Measles and C?erman measles vaccination programs offer great hope lor preventing congenital heart disease in the future. In summary, there are many things that can be done on the basis of present-day knowledge to save hearts and lives. As was brought out in the first article in this series, one's chances ol" survival following heart attack are measurably enhanced in a coronary care unit. As discussed in our second article, it is also important to avoid obesity, eliminate cigarettes, eat fewer saturated fats and high cholesterol foods, and follow a proper regimen of physical exercise. Lives also can be prolonged by prompt treatment of high blood pressure, full utilization of new knowledge about stroke, and use of other methods to protect young hearts, as discussed in this installment. Finally, there is one other thing you can do to advance the fight against heart and circulatory disease. Obviously, with these diseases now claiming more than 1,000,000 lives yearly, our main hope of the future must be pinned to medical research, supported by programs of education and community service. You can help to advance this work through service as a Heart volunteer and through your contribution to the l'J70 Heart Fund.
