MR AND NI.W - The education building of McLaughlin Chapel was dedicated in sen'ices this month. BY JIM DEAN yt^ceCd Don't ask why, hut (lie other day I happened to Ik- listening to a group discussion on the radio and on of the deeper thinkers allowed as how he believed humanity had gone insane. "lite world is lull of kooks and cra/ies," he said proufoudly. "We've all gone mad. How else ean you esplain the shape the world is in'.'" Ol course, he's absolutely right, thank goodness. Who in the name of Jehoshaphat wants to live in a sane world'' I know what I'm talking about because I happen to he a member of good standing of the world's formost collection of obsessive eccentrics ? hunters, fishermen and dogs. Ah yes. 'lis a fine, close knit family ol kooks and cra/ies. and I wouldn't have it any other way. I have a close Irtend I'll call him lorn because that's his name ? who recently purchased a depth finder. These devices clamp on the gunnel of a boat and shoot sonar ray into the depths to tell you how deep the water is and also whether or not there might he any fish in the vicinity. loin brought his new depth lindei over to the house. "I wanna show you how it works." he told me. "Where's the bathroom'.'" I showed him. and he immediately set to work, lie removed the heavy lid from the reservoir on the commode and attached the depth Under. Then he turned it on. "Sec that'.'" he cried excitedly. "Two Icet deep on the button." "Does it pick up any fish activity'.'" I asked. "No, but if you've got a couple of goldfish, wc can check it out. " he answered. The human animal has no monopoly on nutty activities. My (icrman Shorthair puppy is a good example. Ik is still quite young and I've been concerned about his nose. I mean, until the other night. I wasn't sure whethei he could smell gamehirds. or how he would react if he ever sinelled one. As is my piactice come every January. I got out all my I'ly-tying equipment and began to tie trout flies. A Oy typing kit consists mostly of feathers, and I've got feathers fiomjust about every fowl that evei flapped a flipper. including quail, doves, woodcock, ducks, pheasants, ostrich and Heaven knows what else. Pepper was lying in front of the lire in the other room when this heady mixture of hird sntell came drifting in. He leaped to his feet, raced into my room at a full gallop and stopped rock still with his nose inches away from the nearest fly box. I think it is probably the Inst recorded instance of a dog pointing trout flies. Now I'm worried about what he's going to do when he finds a covey of mere quail. There's no way they're gonna smell as good as my trout flies, and I'm afraid practical prospects are limited in that direction. My grandfather owned his share of crazy dogs, and knew his share of nutty outdoorsmen He once told me that he had a habit of currying favor with farmers who owned prime hunting land by giving them a pint of home brew liom lime to time. "Worked pretty well, too," he said, "except once." It turns out that he had given a farmer a pint of pietty wicked stuff. He didn't see (he fellow for several weeks, but when lie did he asked hint how he liked the gift "H'it were just right," said the farmer "What do you mean, it wasjust right'?" inquired my grandfather "Well, ifn it had been any better, you wouldn't have given it to me," said the farmer, "and if it had been any meaner. I couldn't have drunk it." Which, for some reason, reminds me of a final late. A preacher and his friend were fishing in the pouring rain one day. and neither had caught anything The preacher's friend had a habit of taking along a jug and hiding it under the seat He'd take a nip now and then when the preacher wasn't looking. "You know something," said the preacher finally as he sait in the drenching downpour. "Only a drunkard or a fool would be out fishing on a day like this." His fiiend reached undei the seat and unsciewed the cap. "We're both here brother." he said Like I said, who wants to live in a sane world. Hoke County Residents Insured For $80,539,000 (Special in The News Journal) NCW YORK. Ian IS Tlic average Hoke County tainily has lieon adjusting (o current econmic conditions by cutting down on its non-essential spending Hut it lias not reduced its financial piotection against the unexpected hazards of daily living. It has maintained in lull force such major safeguards as its health insurance, accident insurance and life insurance. With respect to life insurance protection, many families are more heavily covered at the piescnt time than ever before. It is due to the fact that, locally and Double up, America. Two can ride cheaper than one. elsewheie across the country, despite the tijtlit money situation, people have been adding to this form ot secuiity Nationally, as a result, the capital amount of life insurance in force has now gone about SI.K trillion, which is neaily six times the annual budget North Carolina State's share of this total amounts to $.1').51 2,000,0(X), as compared with SI .t.'>54,()00,(XKJ ten y cars ago. The facts and figures on the distribution ol insurance throughout the United States are presented, state by state, by the Department of Commerce and by the l ife Insurance Institute On the basis of their findings, it is estimated that residents of Moke C ounty are now insured to the tune of SX0.5.W,(XX). In most families, the amount of insurance carried is in direct propoition to their income. Throughout the state, the holdings of the average family are equivalent to its income lot 24.2 months, after taxes. Applying this yardstick to Hoke County and to the level of earnings in the area, ownership of life insurance comes to approximately SI1),450 per family locally. This is considerably more tban in many seciions of the country and is about twice as much as was held ten years ago. The reports show that more people than usual are now buying term insurance, which is the cheapest kind. Another reflection of the times is the extent to which policy holders are taking out loans on their policies to meet current expenses. More than S4.5 billion was borrowed In that way last year ItlUKSUAY, JANUAKY 2.1, Ili75 FOR SALE Sears "MM)" oil circulator. 75.000 Bit. like new.

There is economic power - for example, the power currently excited by the oil-rich nations. I here is military power-lhe United Slates and the Soviet Union being ihc two prime examples. There is nuclear power-the question of how we will use it nagging us constantly. There is political power-in our midst the constant struggle for it by parties and politicians We also speak of "love power." "black power.*1 "senior power." and many other kinds as well. None of these hy themselves are eithei good or evil. Power is necessary in oui world. What makes the difference is the motive behind the exercise of power. Accordingly, power can Ik either constiuctivcoi destructive. The difference, says the writei ol L phesians. is ('hiist-power. Unlike so much of the powci exercised hy man, Christ-power is persuasive, not coercive. With Chi ist-power as the motivation, atomic eneigy can he used for the Iienefit of mankind instead of his destruction. With Christ-powei politics, economics, minority causes all can he beneficial to mankind. What makes this Christ-power so different'.' The writei of I phesians tells us, lor one thing, that Chiisi-powei begins with enlightenment, the man with (hiist-power sees life differently. So, the writei of I phesians p?ays that "the Father of glory,may give you a spun of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him. having the eyes of your hearts enlightened ..." (I*phesians 1:17. 18). One reason that man lives so impotently is that he I ails to icali/e what life is all aliout. Jesus leferred to this when lie spoke of people who "see hut do not see and hear hut do not hear.** How we look at life and.the woild in which we live makes a hig dilfeiencc in how we opciate in dial world. Knowledge is power. For one thing, when we aie enlightened hy (iod we undeistand what true power is. We come to realize iliat hiute force and violence aie very limned forms of power. Nowhere was this Ik11ei demonsiiaied lor us ilian in the example of Jesus Christ. Not only was his power vindicated in that he was raised horn the dead, hut also in that lie was exalted and given dominion over all soiiiccs ol power: "...according to the working ol his great might which lie accomplished in Chi ist when he raised him from the dead and made him sit at his right hand in the heavenly places, fai above all rule and authority and power and dominion..." (1:11)-21). l-qually important as Christ's own icsurrection fiom the dead is what his power is able to do to and for us. By that powei we are lecreated and given new life that is imperishable: "But (?od, who is rich in mercy ...even when we were dead through out trespasses, made us alive togcthei with Chi ist... and laised us up with him..." ( I : !-(>) All other power must lie connolled and shaped by the powei of Jesus Chi ist. With (In ist-powei all forces can lie used for the good and welfare of men. Piano lessons io begin in March ?
