Recently when I was on the
Mt. Gould farm, I noticed some
mighty tall tobacco on that part
of the farm owned by Lyman
Harrell and attended by George
Watford, colored. Watford said
he was 5 feet 9 inches tall. I
had him to stand by some of the
tallest stalks, and plenty of them
were at least 7 feet high.
Last Sunday morning at the
Baptist church in Ahoskie the
Rev. Mr. Creech preached about
the elder brother. I have heard
many sermons about the prodi
gal son or younger brother, but
that was the second time I have
ever known the elder brother to
be the text. The other sermon
was preached by the Rev. M. A.
Adams in the old Ahoskie Bap
tist church about 35 years ago.
One of the outstanding things
he said, “About the senior boy
was that he was smart. He was
in the field at work while the
other boy was loafing.” He said,
“That laziness, idleness and loaf
ing was one of the greatest
curses this country had.” Rev.
Creech said, “The elder brother
had a bad disposition and was
hard to get along with.” He seem
ed to think that was why the
younger brother first left hpme.
One day last week when I
called at a colored home near
Cedar Landing my attention
was attracted by a little 8-year
old colored girl driving a heavy
loaded truck with green tobacco
leaves, drawn iby a big mule.
She was handling the affair like
a man. She drove up to the barn,
got clear of one truck and the
last time I saw her, she was on
her way back to the field to get
another load. That also reminded
me of another scene where the
women were helping in the to
bacco fields of Bertie county.
Last spring I saw a white wom
an sitting in the driver’s seat
on the water barrel driving the
team while another woman and
a man were in the seats below
placing the plants in the setter
to be distributed in their proper
places along the row.
It seems natural for human
beings to complain. During the
drought in the spring and early
summer every farmer I met was
saying, “The other fellow was
getting more rain than he was
getting.” Now they are saying,
“They are getting more rain
than any body else.” It is true I
see some drowned tobacco and
grassy peanuts but take it as a
whole. I don’t think I have ever
seen at this season of the year
a better crop prospect in Bertie
county.
Tell Your Family
Rocky Mount.—Mrs. Ruth G.
Duffy, manager of the Rocky
Mount Field Office, of the So
cial Security Board, stated to
day that as a worker who is
building social insurance protec
tion on the job you should make
it your business to tell your fam
ily that if you die they may be
eligible for monthly old-age and
survivors insurance benefits.
“Widows with children under
18 in their care get special con-j
sideration under the law. If you
have neither wife nor child, but
your parents are dependent upon
you, tell your parents that if you
die they may be eligible for
monthly benefits at age 65. If you
have no children, tell your wife
or parents not to wait until they
are 65 to file their claim for
benefits; they may be eligible
for a lump-sum death benefit,
and the time for claiming this
expires after two years,” said
Mrs. Duffey.
“In case you die they should
file their claim promptly. Sur
viviors benefits are retroactive
for only three months. If your
family file their claim in the
fourth month after the month in
which you die, they will lose one
month’s payments,” Mrs. Duffey
said.

Visit to Philadelphia
A very pleasant weekend was
spent with the Rev. C. M. £mitli,
pastor of Way land Temple Bap
tist Church, who spent sometime
here last summer. It was a plea
sure and a great experience to
speak in this church twice and
meet a number of friends in the

113-17.
Credit Union Has Educational
Program
The Gates County Credit

at the Reid’s Grove School, Tues
day night. Following the busi
ness of the meeting, the Rev. J.
R. R. McCray was presented and
gave a very interesting address.
In his address, Rev. McCray out
lined several important points
of running a successful business
and pointed out its effective
ness in better living. He also
stressed the importance of co
operating in the work of the cre
dit union for the mutual good of
al citizens in the community.
Following the address by Rev.
McCray, Mrs. Ruth Mitchell
Laws, director of the depart
ment of home economics, Dover
State College, Delaware, was
presented. Mrs. Laws who work
ed in Gates county several years
ago complemented the citizens
on the progress they have made
and gave an inspiring message
from the theme, “Teach Your
Dollars to Have More Sense.”
Mrs. L. E. Waithe, vice-presi
dent of the Credit Union presid
ed in the absence of the presi
dent.
In order to cooperate with the
revivals in the county, it was de
cided that the meetings for Au
gust and September be held
Monday nights instead of Tues
day nights. The next meeting
will be held on Monday night,
August 13.
