THANKSGIVING
God’s verdict upon the pagan
world is that “they are without
excuse, because, when they knew
God, they glorified Him r.ot as
God, neither were thankful ...”
(Rom. 1:20, 21). The Psalmist, on
the other hand, declares:
“IT IS A GOOD THING TO
GiVE ITL'NKS UNTO THE I
LORD, AND TO SING PRAISES)
UNTO THY NAME, O MOST|
HIGH:
“TO SHOW FORTH THY LOV
ING KINDNESS IN THE MORN
ING, AND THY FAITHFULNESS
EVERY NIGHT.” (Psa. 92: 1,2).
Believers today have even more
to be thankful for than did the
Psalmist, for we can rejoice in
what God has done for us through
Christ and His redeeming work.
Thus Paul, by divine inspiration,
speaks of . . .
“GIVING THANKS UNTO THE
FATHER, WHO HATH MADE US
MEET *(FIT) TO BE PARTAK
ERS OF THE INHERITANCE OF
THE SAINTS IN LIGHT:
•‘WHO HATH DELIVERED US
FROM THE POWER OF DARK
NESS, AND HATH TRANSLAT
ED US INTO THE KINGDOM OF
. HIS DEAR SON” (Col. 1: 12, 13). 1
It is Because of this “deliverance” 1
that\he humblest can cry
with Paul: “Thanks be unto God,
Who always causeth us to triumph
in Christ!” (II Cor.- 2:14) and
“Thanks bo unto God, Who giveth
us the victory, through our Lord
Jesus Christ!” <1 Cor. 15:57). How
appropriate, then, are the exhor
tations:
“I N EVERYTHING GIVE
THANKS” (I
Christ, therefore, LET US OFFER
THE SACRIFICE OF' PRAISE. ~

YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY
By: Lucille M. Rickman
Field Representative
Under the changed social secur
ity law, survivors of a worker who
died between March 31, 1938, and
January 1, 1940 (and who had
worked under social security for at
lgast 1% years before his death)
5 may now get benefits.
1 The original Social Security Act
provided benefits'' only for retired
workers- -When the law was chang
ed in 1939 to make benefits pay
able to the survivors and depend
ents of workers, no provision was
made to pay monthly benefits to
the survivors of a worker who
died before 1940.
Under the new law, payments
can be made to the widows of
workers who died after March 31,
1938, and before January 1, 1940;
aged “dependent parents of
workers; and .to their sons
Madrid, Spain; Gayle Deßiskie of
the Whirling Trapeze; TV’s incom
parable “Harold”, the Prince of
Waltzing Steel Wire Artists; the
Spectacular Trick Mules and
Clever Canines; Rajah and His
Performing Elephants; Col. Walt"
Davis and His “Horses at' Liberty”;
and Capt. Willis with his Educat
ed Seals; The Argentinas Perch
Act.
Noted as the “Aristocrat of
Spangleland*’, the Beers-Bames
Circus i 9 the oldest circus appear
ing under canvas and one of the
few on the road which conduct no
advance soliciting promotions of
any kind to guarantee attendance. I
No “high pressure” telephone so
licitors are used. The sponsors,
however, will conduct their own
localized advance sale of General
Admission Tickets in order to earn
a much higher percentage than
that received at showgrounds, but
this campaign will be handled ex
clusively by members of the spon
soring organization, Mr. Bailey
said-
( and daughter*.
To qu:du> .“or hsneflt? a vpq
or dependent mother of a worker
who died before 1940 mat he 62
years of age or 6ver. A dependent
father must be 66 or over. A dis
abled son or daughte: must have
a disability so severe that it keeps'
him or her from doing any sub
i stantial gainful Work, and the dis-
I ability must have begun before
i the child’s 18th birthcfay.
If you believe that you may
i qualify for these payments, get in
touch with your social security re
presentative or the social security
I office as soon as possible. October
1960 was the first month for which
j benefits were paid, but you must
application before such
payments can start.
Mrs- Lucille M. Rickman, field
representative of the Social Secur
ity Administration, will be in the
courthouse in Burnsville every
Wednesday, beginning at 9:30 a.
m., to give information and assist
ance to Yancey County residents
on social security matters.
FOR THE PEOPLE
By: Bernadette W. Hoyle
Public Information Officer
How long can needy, dependent
children receive financial help from
public welfare?
-Until the age of 18, if they con
tinue to meet all eligibility re
quirements.
What happens to these young
people - at that time?
They" are, literally, on their own
resources. Many of them cannot
continue their education for ob
vious financial reasons. Most- of :
them must get unskilled or semi-1
skilled jobs. Often the girls marry
at an early age. Some of the boys
go into service.
Do county departments of public
welfare provide any assistance for
them ?
Every effort is made to help
these young people continue their
schooling. A careful study is made
of each boy and girl who is grad
uating from high school. A state
ment is obtanied from the school
principal, together with the acade
mic record. The caseworker who
has handled the young person’s •
case and the county "superintend- J
ent of public welfare study the
case thoroughly and often talk
with the boy or girl and relatives
in an effort to determine aptitudes
and desires for further training,
either academically, or in a tra.de.

! °ln Paris or Brussels or London, the shortest distance between
1 .two points is often a taxi ride. The service is door-to-door- the )
timing is go-as-you-please, and to a just-arrived visitor ’ the
(experience lacks tiro confusion involved in sharing a bus ’ with (
fifty French-speaking folk who / __ ,

FARE FACTS
In Europe as in America,
city taxis are metered. And
it is customary to add a 10% to
1 15% tip. It’s a simple corfipu
-1 tation except, perhaps, in the
i case of British pounds, shillings
and pence; the rule there: a
1 nine pence tip for each two
; shillings-sixpence run up on the
. meter; one shilling-sixpence
(about twenty cents) for a
seven-shilling\ (sl> ride.

“Just look at my lawn! Isn’t it
-a mess?” It sure was, and for
good reason.
After a little questioning, I
l learned that the lady had applied
- fertiliser a few days before I saw
; her lawn. I suspected this from all
r appearances. She had used ah
i 8-8-8 (granular) material, whidh
t was all right? However, she had
i thrown the fertilizer in big hand
fuls all in spots. The whole lawn
was spotted with alternate areas
of dead grass.
When fertilizing your lawn, be
sure to apply the mixture evenly.
If a spreader is used the operation
is Simple. If you spread by hand, it
is a good plan to divide the mater
ial in equal parts, for a given area,
and apply half in one direction
and the other half" at right angles
to the first. This gives even distri
bution and will reduce the possi
bility of burning to a minimum.
Always apply fertilizer when the
grass is. dry. Use about 20 pounds
of" "hn 8-8-8 per 1000 square feet.
Top dress with about 10 pounds of
nitrate of soda, or its esui valent,
per 1000 square feet as needed.
The number of top dressings will
depend upon your soil type, gener
al condition of sod and competition

■j Efforts are made to obtain sehol
! arships for those boys and girls
who can qualify under scholarship
requirements. Many of the young
people helped through ADC have
splendid high school records.
How can private citizens help
•ese young people?
An interested person should con
.act his county superintendent of
public welfare or the State Board
of Public Welfare in Raleigh. If
he desires to contribute money to
furthering a boy oi; girl’s education,
f Be wishes to give suitable cloth
7, if he would like to help a
j ight boy or girl obtain a scholar-
I ip, or in any other way give as
stance, lie should discuss this
■ ith the county superintendent of
üblic welfare. Each year many
•rivate citizens through various
means help many young persons
‘ trther their education-
— (
tru«, for example, in Finland; 1
in France, where the ‘Witching ;
is eleven p.m.; in Amsterdam, J
where you pay more between J
one - thirty and five in the.]
moritfng; in Rome, where the
cabby is entitled to an extra
150 lira after ten.
Further fare notes Include
an additional Hwenty-five
each for more than two people \
per cab in Rome; a legal round-';
Trip charge for a-one-way ride-;
to 'any airport in Spdin. When t
in Brussels, remember then
smaller -the cab, the lower the I
fare. - I
One word about the meter-]
less “cars for hire” that bloom j
late in some nightclub neigh- j
borhoods: this sort of convent-j
ent luxury generally comes i
high. If you decide to take one, I
settle on price before you climb j
aboard. If Jthere’s any discus-t
sion at the end of the trip, call (
in the doorman t !
from tree roots.
The best control for weeds iri
the lawn is a thick stand of grass*
If weeds and wild onions persist,
with 2,4-D- This material is
very effective in controlling most
of the weeds and repeated spray- -
ings, will get most of tH$ wild
dnidfis. Mix solution according to
instructions and spray on a calm
day, as spray drift is harmful to
many ornamental plants.
This is the season for rank
growth of honeysuckle and poison
ivey. A new material, Amitrol, is
proving to be most effective in
eradicating these two pests. Use
material according to instructions. -
Take Jthe same precautions to pre
vent spray drift as suggested for
2,4-D.
