I felt as though 1 were merely existing and not really alive at all. Two matches, each one lighting one of the pockets on my shirt, were all it took for me to tempt the hand of fate. , I spent the next sevferal months in the hospital in agony and severe pain from the second - and third ? degree burns that covered over half of my body. But the incident opened my eyes to an encouraging reality. For the first time I realized all the reasons 1 had to strive to be a victor in life instead of being the defeated one. Most important of all, it opened up my heart to receive God's love. Suddenly, miraculously, I was a new creation. Now I am more aware of the cries for help of others and not just in tune with my own problems. PRAYER: Eternal God. we thank Thee for Thy love and forgive ness for all our sins.

Agent WINTER WATERING -- Plants need mositure, even in winter. This is especially true of newly-planted trees and shrubs. When frost covers plants, and the days and nights are cold, we tend to forget that plants may need watering. If there is a lack of rainfall, it is advisable to soak soil around plants at least once a week. Apply water slowly, let the garden hose dribble around plants for several hours. Be sure to apply enough water to thoroughly soak soil throughout the root zone. NEW LOOKS FOR OLDER HOMES -- If not already done ? like last Sunday afternoon - make immediate plans for any landscape improvement to your property. New plantings should be made between now and very early next spring. Usually, large overgrowth shrubs indicate a poor choice in locating the plants. If such shrubs are grossly overgrown, shielding your home from sunlight and air move ment. it may be best to discard them. Strive to have low growing and slow growing shrubs in the foundation plantings. If the over grown plant is not too far gone, cut it back severely (remove about one-third of the stems and twigs). PLANTING PEONIES - No vember is a good time to get peonies in the ground. Don't set them too deep. The buds should be covered only to a depth of about two inches. Timely chores -- Mulch shrubbery and roses before hard freezes come. Set rose bushes. Cut back 6-8 inches. Mulch as soon as set. If foliage is healthy let fallen leaves in shrub borders remain on the ground for mulch and plant food. This is far superior to cleaning out and burning refuse. If not already accomplished, divide and reset such perennials as phlox, violets, hollyhocks; iris, day lilies an shasta daisy. Make cuttings of such as the spireas, forsythia; crepe myrtle and other deciduous shrubs. Do this before Christmas. Hinson Elected To EMC Position The manager of Lumbee River Electric Membership Corporation, Red Springs, has been elected secretary of Tarheel Electric Mem bership Association (TEMA), a statewide organization representing the state's 28 rural electric co operatives. Deri Hinson was elected to the post after being chosen for a two - year term on the corporation's nine -member board of directors in a reorganization of the statewide EMC association. He will take office Jan. 1, when the association's new structure becomes effective. Under the new structure, the EMC organization will consist of three corporations: TEMA, North Carolina EMC and the newly chartered N.C. Association of Elec tric Cooperatives (N.C.AEC). TEMA will continue as the EMCs' central materials purchas ing and supply operation, under the direction of the new board. N.C. EMC will conduct only those activities related to power supply, including negotiations with private power companies over bulk power rates. This corporation pre viously handled power supply mat ters as well as other association functions. Those other functions, such as government relations, com munications and personnel devel opment, will be taken over by N.C.AEC. As an EMC manager, Hinson will also serve on the 56 - member N.C.AEC board of directors, which consists of the manager and a board member from each local EMC across the state.
