Somebody has said that "This is the era of 'Every man for himself.' " It is true that there is a great emphasis today upon discovering and developing our own selfhood. Individuality is greatly honored, if not greatly practiced. We are encouraged to "forget what others say and do your own thing." Paul supplies a good text for that thesis: "Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind..." (Romans 12:2). We can either let the world put its mark upon us, or we may determine to make our mark upon the world. But isn't it audacious to think of putting your mark upon the world? No, says Paul, because that mark is distinctively you, is God's gift within you. It is his image appearing in you and you must never allow the world to blur the divine image, to obscure its features. Our individuality is our most precious heritage from God. We are different, Paul points out, and Barbed branches of the jumping cholla, a desert cactus, break off at the slightest touch and fasten themselves to men and animals. National Geographic says. When the hitchhikers are dislodged, they take root where thev fall. Some 1,000 Department of Army employees and 82 national cemeteries operated by the Army were transferred to the Veterans Administration on September 1, 1973, as authorized under Public Law 93-43 (June 18, 1973). we all have different "things" to do. In the early church there were a diversity of gifts: prophecy, service, teaching, exhortation, etc. Fach person is differently and individually endowed and does not belong in any kind of conforming mould. At the same time, though we are diverse in what we can contribute, we are one in that we all have something we can give and which is needed by our fellow Christians. "Doing our own thing" is intended to enrich, not only our own self-estimation, but the lives of others as well. To some people, "Doing your own thing" means carving out a personal existanoe quite unrelated to other people. That, however, is not what Paul is speaking of. For one reason, "your own thing" is not just yours; it came from God, belongs to him. For another, regardless of the magnitude of "our own thing", we still need whit others can give to us. "Our own thing" by itself is incomplete, inadequate. What others have, I need; what 1 have, someone else needs. Our freedom means that we do not have to conform to other people. Yet, Paul calls us to voluntarily (not under compulsion) dedicate our gifts, our talents to God as an offering. We do not have to do so in order to win his love, but having been . given his love as a gift of grace, we may in gratitude voluntarily put ourselves at his disposal. Thus, we will "do our own thing," not to assert our independence, or to live unto ourselves alone, but as a thank-offering to God who gave us our gifts in the first place that we might serve one another.

Oct. 27 ? Does Hoke County have more or fewer governmental agendes, for ita size, than other communities? How many of these administrative bodies, with power to pass rules and regulations affecting local residents, are there in the county? A comparison of the local governmental structure with that found in other sections of the country, is made possible through a report on the subject, recently released by the Department of Commerce. It is called "Governmental Organization." The data for it was gathered from all parts of the country in connection with the 1972 Census of Governments. The findings indicate that, in many areas, community affairs are being directed less and less by county, municipal and township governments and more and more by autonomous or semi - autonomous sub-divisions. Increasingly, the controls are being delegated to school districts and to special districts with responsibilities over toll roads, bridges, water supply, fire and flood control, public housing and the like. In Hoke County, the report shows, there are now some 3 units of government in operation, 2 of them with property taxing power. They consist of one municipal government, no township governments, no independent school districts, one special district and the county government itself. The number is exactly the same as was tabulated in 1967, when the previous Census of Governments was taken. By way of comparison, there was a reduction of 3.7 percent nationally in the number of local governments in the five - year period. In American Indian lore, the spider is a creature of mystery and power. National Geographic says. Some tribes believed a spider woman introduced weaving on earth, others believed the Creator was a spider, and still others saw spiders' orbital webs as symbols of the universe, with lines connecting earth to the heavens.

In many communities, the figure* indicate, the trend it toward a streamlining of the governmental process. Nationally, the number of local ?>vemmental agencies dropped from 1,299 to 78,268 in the five years.
