Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas found churches across the country filled to capacity and overflowing. Great numbers of people, many of whom were, at best, sporadic in their worship a t tendence, instinctively turned to the worship service in their local church for comfort and reassurance. In times of personal or national tragedy people reach out for something to hold on to. On that Sunday in November, 1963. it was as if we wanted to make sure that the shot that felled the attractive young President had not also jarred the universe from its cosmic moorings. These must have been the feelings and thoughts of the people of l<22iah's kingdom when he died. Many of his subjects could not remember any other king for U*/iah had ruled for a half century. Under Ins leadership the country had become prosperous and he would be remembered throughout the history of his nation as a powerful and successful king, second only to the great King Solomon. Thus the year in which King U/.ziah died was one of great gloom. Who would be able to fill his slioes? Would his son Jotham live up to the stature of his father'' Would the nation be more vulnerable now to the growing power of her enemies? These may well have been some of the thoughts that occupied Isaiah's mind when he went into the temple. At the temple, however, he was reminded of a fact all of us tend to forget, important as are the Uzziahs, presidents generals, kings and statesmen of the world, it is God the eternal who reigns over this world. The passing of any great human leader is a tragic loss to any nation, but that nation is not lost so long at its trusts in God. Uzziah's body had been lowered into the earth but Isaiah's thoughts were directed upward and in his vision he saw "the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up . . He caught an indescribable vision of God and heard his voice speaking to him. At last God had broken through to this man whom he was calling to be . s prophet. Why had God waited until the death of Uzziah to speak to Isaiah? Why is it that we must experience some tragedy or trial before we come face to face with are willing to listen to him. God us? The answer is not that it takes tragedy or trouble to reach God. but that too often it takes something of this sort before we are willing to listen to him. God is constantly calling us, trying to communicate with us. but it is often difficult to get our attention. Getting our attention is one of God's greatest problems. God had gotten Isaiah's attention. The worship experience was a mystical, ecstatic experience that can be recorded better in poetry than prose, if at all. Words barely convey the heady experience of God's power and majesty. Isaiah is overwhelmed with this sense of God's presence. Storing T obac^o 011 F arm New Experience I ?>r Mam The large size of the 1970 flue ? cured tobacco crop has presented a new problem for some farmers - that of storing tobacco for sale next year. Production is estimated to be up about ISO pounds per acre from 1969. This means that some growers produced more tobacco than ihey are allowed to sell under the acreage - poundage control program. "We haven't had much of this since the program began,", said Dr. W.K. Collins, extension tobacco specialist at North Carolina State University. "But this year it is apparent that we have quite a number of farmers faced with the problem of keeping tobacco for later sale." Dr. Collins pointed out that the three most important precautions in storing tobacco are (1) protect the tobacco from moisture (2) protect it from sunlight and (3) protect it from insects. The first concern is selecting Ihe right placc for storage. The second floor of a good packhouse may be best. It might help to build a platform of boards placed on two ? by ? fours for the tobacco, especially if it's packed on the ground floor. The second concern is the amount of moisture imthe leaf. It should be as dry as possible without risking Mfioot breakage or shattering. Other tips: down ? stalk tobacco should be dtifr than up ? stalk tobacco{orgoge, red or dark colored leaf should be packed drier than pale or green colored tobacco* ?o.d.'. in the Coastal Plain #rea, '?tobacco should be packed very dry due to normally higlter moisture conditions. * ? ? 1 A piece of plastic can be placed so that the pile rests on one end and the remainder of the sheet can be used to cover the tobacco. But it may be wise to put a layer of corrugated paper or boards between the tobacco and plastic in case moisture should condense on the inside of the cover. The cover will also come in handy should the pile of tobacco have to be fumigated for Insects. Sunlight can bleach the tobacco so it is important to cover it well. BiA, adequate for this purposi The pile of stoied uV_ should be bulked in A with the butts of ilie k turned outward on ally . sides.

The final score of the game, which was played on Wednesday in Hoke High Stadium, was Upchurch 18, Pembroke 8. After kicking off to Pembroke and forcing a punt, the Eagles found themselves in good field position on the 50 - yard line from which they began their offensive play. They drove down to Pembroke's 30 - yard line. On the next play. Eagle Lester Blue ran the ball thirty yards into the end zone for the Eagles' first touchdown. The Eagles were unable to make a two ? point conversion so the score remained 6 ? 0 in favor of Upchurch. During the remainder of the first quarter both defenses stiffened and did not allow their opponents to score. In the second quarter, Pembroke attempted a short pass wliich was intercepted by defensive end Butch Brown. Brown ran the ball forty yards Spiders provided the decor for an extravagant double wedding in Louisiana in 1870. Planter Charles Durand had his workmen release spiders in the three-mile avenue of trees leading to his manor. After the spiders has spun their gossamer arches between the trees, the workmen used bellows to blow silver and gold dust into the webs beneath which Durand's two daughters were wed. for the Eagles' second touchdown. With the score I 2 ? 0. the Eagles attempted a two ? point conversion but were unsuccessful. During the remaining moments of the Inst Italf neither team was able to score. The half ended with the score Upchurch 12, Pembroke 0. During the thud quartet, the defensive teams played extremely well and were able to keep each of the off* uses from scoring. The Eagles weie able to add to their score, howevei, during the fourth quarter. Lester Blue tan the ball 20 yards foi the Eagles' tlurd touchdown to make ilie score 18 - 0 in the Eagles' favor.
