BKpilture since the border belt mar

HHiiretary of Agriculture to examine
gWy closely the procedures that are
hieing followed in the grading of to

p it seems that one of the biggest
MpNtterns at the moment is that
MMi slick tobacco is showing up,

w Hons graders must grade a pile of

Sjthat is has as much as 2D'i slick

I think that in view of the fact
?i that this is a new regulation the De

a apansibility to use reasonable judg

L-think farmers should make

I' see a lijarked improvement in the
1 immediate future.
We cannot avoid the fact, how
* ever, that we stand a chance of
& ending up with the 1963 crop of to
ll bacco being far in excess of de
i mand and displacement. Ths means
that we can reasonably expect our
I surpluses to further increase. I
' thitnk this fact is the big reason
? such large amount of tobacco is
'J, now going into the Stabilization Cor
poration.
Although I am not advocating
poundage controls, 1 think it would
be very well for fanners to begin
examining the basic principles of
the tobacco program and give ser
ious consideration to adopting a sys
tem of poundage controls.
On a number of occasions we
have seen thbaCco acreage allot
ments reduced in an effort to re
duce production. But in moat in
stances, when we have reduced the
acreage, the per acre production
has increased and we have ended
up with just as much total produc
tion.
1 realke that opinion is divided
concerning the wisdom of pound
age controls, but we may soon
reach the point where we must go
to poundage controls or run the
risk of losing the tobacco program
entirely.
What Questions
Vets Are Asking
?Here are authoritative answers by
the Veterans Adrainjstratiqp to
questions from former servicemen
and their families:
Q-Am I automatically eligible for
nonservice-connevted disability, pen
sion because I have become 65
years old?
A The VA nonservice connected
disability pension is not based on
age but on the fact that the veteran
has become totally and permanent
ly disabled. However, your age may
be a contributing factor. Since each
case is decided individually, you
should consult your nearest VA of
fice.
Q-How can I get the medal the
government gave to all World War
11 personnel at the end of the war?
A-Write to the branch of the ser
vice with which you served and
give your dates of services as well
as your identifying service num
ber.
Q-My claim for death pension for
our children was denied in 1959 be
cause their father had no service
eonencted disability. Should I Re
apply? ediiti *
A-Yes, reapply iqamediately. On
July l. 1960, the requirement was
eliminated that a World War II or
Korean veteran must have a ser
vice connected disability at the time
of death. ,
Here are autoritatjve sowers by
fhe Veetrans AdmiinstraQon to
questions from former servicemen
and their families:
Q-Does the VA recommend con
verting term insurance to per
manent plan insurance?
A-Both have their advantages. It
would depend on the individual
circumstances. Term insurance sup
plied maximum insurance for mini
mum cost. Thus, it might be ideal
for veteran with a large family of
children. The cost of term insur
ance. however, increases as time
goes on and becomes very expen
sive in late, middle or old age. It
offers no loan value nor any per
manent equity. Thus, after child
ren are grown a veteran might
wish to convert all or part of his
term insurance to a lower cost
policy with premiums that never
change and the other advantages
mentioned above.
Q-May the family - wife and
children of a veteran obtain
? ?i??
medical vafe ^and hospital treat
A-No Only veterans themselves
may be t?AedlFtte VA hospital
system.
Q-When is the final date for any
Woiid War If Veteran Id get a 01
A-The GI loan program comes to
an end for all Work! War II veter
ans on July IS, 1987. For the great
majority of World War U veterans
it will end sooner than that - the
calendar date reached by adding
ten years to their date of discharge
from the last period of active ser
vice plus an additional year for
each three months of active service.

Some said an angel spoke but
others said it thundered. Jno 12:29
St. Paul served as a referee at
a murder scene and, trying to
shake off conviction, heard a voice.
Some said it thundered but others
said an angel spoke to him.
St. Augustine, fleeing from God,
heard a voice. Some said is was a
thunder squall denoting a change in
the weather.
John Wesley was transformed
from an incehouse ritualist by an
inner voice. Some said it was a
case of indigestion and whirlwind
colic. Others said an angel spoke
to him.
We have some extreme liberals I
who explain away inner voice, but t
the saints still hear it and work '
wonders.

BIBLE FACTS
OF INT EREST
BY: Ella V. Pridgen '
Mark wrofce the second Gospel. 1
tl is the Gospel for the Romans. J
The Gospel of the present. The Gos- '
pel which represents Christ as the j
son of God. and the Lord of the '
world. He emblem is the lion; ex- 1
pressing courage, dignity and ener
gy. ? |
Mark's Gospel was substantially
the preaching of Peter to the Ro- j
mass.
The Gospel for him must repre
sent the character and career of
Jesus froiq. the Roman point of
view, an answering to the idea of
divine power, work, law, conquest
and universal sway.
Mark was not one of the twelve:
Peter is the source of his informa
tion.
Mark being the interperter of
Peter, wrote exactly what Peter
toki. Peter told the story of what
he had seen Jesus do, and heard
him teach. A story here must have
told many times in the hearing of
Mark. Besides this, reports from
the other Apostles must have been
in circulation among the churches.
Many were put in writing. The
traditional statement is that it was
intended primarily for Gentiles and
especially for those at home, A
review of the Gospel itself confirms
this. Mark's Gospel, is occupied al
most entirely with the ministry in
Gallilee and events of the Passion
week.
It is the shortest of the four Gos
pels, and contains almost no inci
dent or teaching which is not con
tained in one of the other three
Synoptics: (Matthew, Mark and
Luke are called Aynoptic Gospels,
they are Gospels presenting similar
views of the life and teaching of
Jesus).
St. Mark is by far the most vivid
and dramatic in the narrative, and
their pictorial character indicated
not only that they were derived
?m an eye and ear witness, but
? from ope who possessed the ob
servation and the graphic artistic
power of a natural orator (such as
Peter emphatically was).
One peculiarity strikes us the
moment we turn to read' the Book
of Mark, the absence of any genea

Uncle Pete From
SAYS
DEAR MISTER EDITOR:
I see by the papers where a Gov
ernment food expert says "fresh
and tender grass" would be a good
food fer human" beings. Farther
more, he claims if they would pac
kage it under a attractive name,
it would sell to the American house
wives.
I put this item on the agenda at
the country store Saturday night
and all the fellers was agreed it
won't work. Ed Doolittle said he
recollected back in 1044 when the
Congress changed the "Skim Milk"
label to "Dry Milk Solids" hoping to
logy of our Lord.
It is not the design of the evange
list to present our Ix>rd to us like St.
Matthew as the "Messiah", the son
of David and Abraham. Matthew,
Chapter 1:1 or like St. Luke the
Universal Redeemer of the son of
Adam which was the son of God
Chapter 3:38. His design is to pre
lent Jesus to us as the Conquering
Savior, the Son of God. living and
acting among men.
Read Mark.

question which I cannot answer to
ray qwn satisfaction until I
heard the testimony of our military
and scientific advisors. MJm time
they are presenting their opinlohs to
the VP^nBL Relations Com
mittee and to members of the Sen
ate Armed Services Committee who
have been invited to hear their
testimony. For this reason, I have
postponed any decision as to how I
will vote on the question of treaty
ratification until I have heard their
teetimony.
. It is .my Judgment that the Sen
me should vote to ratify this treaty,
if and pitty if, it if convinced that
OUT adherence to this treaty wtil not

maintain the weapons necessity to
our defense and our national sur

which are now underway there, t

we should be pushing for some a
greement that would result id the
cessation of construction of Russian
fortifications and the withdrawal 01
Russian troops. Such an agreement
would set a better framework in
whjch to Judge any test ban treaty.
I comment on the treaty with the
realization that, of course, great
barm can come to the peoples of
the earth from nuclear fallout, and^
I realize the immense concern
which this has brought about. At
