Shelton, Field Representative with the Fayetteville Social Security Officc Most of you arc receiving Social Security checks and who are age 65 or over, I am sure you noticed that your check this month was SI .30 less than the one you received last month. Why was this the case? The reason for this reduction in your check was that your ?hare of the premium on the medical insurance part of Medicare went up. Why it went up should be obvious to anyone who has received any medical treatment lately. The cost of doctors' services, ambulances services, laboratory and X-ray services when you are hospitalized - these major items covered by the medical insurance * have all gone up at ta faster rate than the other Items we need to be able to keep on living in these times. It should be remembered that you pay half of the premiums on your medical insurance. The other half is paid for you by the Federal government from the general revenues it takes in. Since your share of these premiums went up, the government's share went up as well, by the same amount ? SI .30 monthly. Your S5.30 per month plus the government's SS 30 is put into a Medical Insurance Trust Fund which is used to help pay the medical bills of the persons who liuve the medical insurance coverage. At this point, you may be wondering exactly what you are now paying this SS.30 monthly premium for ? how do you benefit from this payment and is it worthwhile to continue the payment ? MELON TIME ? ?

(U.S. ARMY PHOTO) mdyStaSEoot WHAT IS MAN? Lesson for July 19,1970 The birth of a human being is one of the most common, yet at the same time most miraculous and mysterious frocesses of God's creation, he more that science learns about it, the more we stand in awe at this evidence of God's creative masterpiece. Consider facts such as these: A new human being begins as a tiny cell which in 266-or-so days increases to a fantastically complex organism of 200 million cells - a billion times greater than its original weight. In the nucleus of this single cell is a kind of coded blue print for the stage-by-stage development of a complete human body. When the baby is born it is pushed into the world by a one-hundred-pound propulsive force. In a few short seconds the new-born baby must make a great many unbelievable drastic adjustments from a cozy temperature of 98 degrees F. to a room temperature of some twenty degrees lower; from a totally dark environment to one of blinding light; from a complete dependence for oxygen and blood upon the mother to the sudden, unpracticed use of its own lungs and heart for that purpose. No wonder man is called God's greatest creation! Yet, fantastically wonderful as is the physical creation of man he is looked upon as the crown of God's creation for still a greater reason: what he is rather than how he is made. The writer of Genesis says it one way: "So God created man in his own image..." (Genesis 1:27). The writer of Hebrews, quoting the psalmist, says it another: "Thou didst make him a little lower than the angels" (Hebrews 2:7). Both of these men are making aDoroximately the same affirmation: there is a likeness, kinship, or similarity between the personality of man the and basic personal nature of God. This ibes not mean that man is the same as God or equhi to him in any way. It does mean, however, that man in his very essence or that which makes him man bears in an incomplete and finite way the characteristics which we find in a complete and infinite way in God. As Reuel Howe lias put it, "Blurred and distorted though the image of God in man is, still the mark ot the hand of the Divine Craftsman is on him." We may "see" God in nature "hear" him in the sounds of the earth, and find his "footprints" in a hundred thousand different places, but in man we get the most accurate picture of all. In one man - Jesus Christ - the picture was not even blurred or distorted. There is another reason why we call man God's greatest creation. Not only is man exalted in what he is created to be, but also in what he is created to do. Man is created to put "everything in subjection under his feet." He it intended to rule over the rest of creation for the Creator. There are then two facts that we must note about the nature and purpose of man. First, there is man's privileged position in regard to tne rest of creation. No other creature has been so blessed as man. What u privilege to be created with a kinship to God and a mandate to rule God's creation for him. There is a second fact, lor with the privilege there is also a responsibility too, Man is blessed by God so that lie may be i blessing. He is given powers, advantages, and endowments so that he may fulfill God's plan and purpose. He Is therefore the creature with the highest privileges and also the highest responsibilities, That's why he's called the "crown ot God's creation " That's what man is. Buy Bonds where you work. US.

Lester Southern 10C F arm Items Bv W. S. Young & T. S. Baker County Agricultural ArjantJ What size calf should a cow wean - A rule of thumb some people use is that a cow should wean a calf weighing roughly V4 as much as her own weight. This is a fair guide up to a cow weight of 1000 lbs. Above this weight the cow is not quite as efficient in the use of her teed as a greater portion is needed for maintainencc. Animal Husbandrymen at Oklahoma State University worked up the following guide using TDN and cow size to compare weaning weight. The cow weight and weaning weight of calves is as follows: 1000 ?? 500, 1200 - 572. 1400 ?? 643, 1600 - 712. Be careful - Many of the seed for planting on the market now have been treated with chemicals and it is recommended that they be used only for that purpose. The seed should not be used as feed grains and most certainly should not be placed where children may come in contact or play in them. Persons not knowing, may consider using these seeds in making seed mosaics, since they are many times of bright colors. This is not recommended and should not be done. The primary purpose of the color is to show that the seeds have been treated. If seed that you plan to use urc in question as to whether they have been treated, do not use them.
