TWO MINUTES
HELP IN TIME OF NEED
Our Chicago papers, recently,
carried two interesting front page
\ items; one about Timothy Nolan,
a Chicago policeman who pleaded
in vain for help while he battled
tiwo toughs. Sixty people stood
abort, watchins him fight for his
life, but not one of them helped
h : m or even bothered to call ano
ther policeman. They just stood
and watched.
The other item was about a
twclve-year-old girl, named Susan
Benedict, who had come from
Clinton, Wisconsin, to visit Chica
go. As Susan sat in the Greyhound
Bus Station at Clark and Ran
dolph, a thief grabbed her purse
and ran.
Perhaps it was because she was
a sweet, defenseless twelve !
year-old, but in any case, about'
a dozen people who witnessed the i
infcident, followed the thief until (
one got a policeman, who caught
the thief and returned the purse
to the little girl.
It is a very frirhtening thing
not to be able to find he’p when 1
1/t Is desperately needed—and just 3
as wonderful to have help when 1
it is needed. 1 1
IS GREAT
/
BUT
IS BETTE^

WITH THE BIBLE
BY CORNELIUS R. STAM PRES.
BEREAN BIBLE SOCIETY
CHICAGO 35, ILLINOIS
Thank God, He is always ready
» to help us In our deepest need—
: the salvation of our souls. Are you
* afraid that your many sins have
I placed you in a position beyond
I he’p—that you have sinned too
l greatly for God to forgive you?
1 Then listen to Eph. 1:7, where the
Apostle Paul says, by divine in
spiration: “We have redempi*on
through Christ’s blood, THE for.
GIVENESS OF SINS ACCORD
ING TO THE RICHES OF HUB
GRACE,” and Rom. 5:20, where
he declares: “WHERE SIN
ABOUNDED, GRACE DID MUCH
MORE ABOUND.”
Paul knew this by experience,
for he was the leader of the
, world’s rebellion against Christ,
i but he was saved in one moment
i by the graqe of God. This is why
he says: “This is a faithful say
ing, and worthy of all acceptation,
that Christ Jesus came into ithe
world to save sinners, cf whom I
am chief” (I Tim. 1:15(. I
If God saved the “chief of sin
ners,” He surely is willing to save
you too, ‘‘for whosoever shall call
upon the name of the Lord shall
be saved” (Rom. 1G13).
N. C. Motor ,Club
Predicts Ten Will
Die In Highway
Accidents
Despite all official p’eas for a
sate and sane Fourth of July holi
day, the North Carolina State
Motor Club predicts that at least
ten as yet unidentified victims
will die in traffic accidents on
f North Carolina streets and high
- ways over the Independence Day
» weekend.
: Although many businesses will
1 give employees either Friday or
• Monday off, the state will count
1 holiday highway fatalities for
only a 54nhour period from 6 p. m.
Friday. July 3, through midnight
Sunday, July 5.
The motor o’Jub’s estimate is
based on past experience of mot
orists during similar holiday per
iods coupled with current driving
patterns, Thomas B. Watkins, pre. 1
sident of the dub pointed out, ad
| ding that the number of fatalities 1
will be reduced to the extent that I
motorists observe the basic safe I
driving rules. I
North Carolina’s 1963 July i
Fourth traffic toll for a 102-hour 1
■period when the holiday fell 0 n 1
Thursday reached 14 deaths and
610 injured in 889 accidents. Lead- 1
ing driver violations were: speed- 1
ing 189; driving on wrong side of 1
road; 155; failure to yield right of 1
way, 108; following too closely, 1
103; and reckless driving, 82.

Areas Os Poor
Growth In Fields
Show Up In June
Areas of poor crop growth in
fields show up most during the
i ’titter part of May anl most of
• June, states E. L. Dillingham.
• Quite often, these small areas of
poor growth occur where the top
soil has been eroded away ex
posing the suhsodl. Frequently the
subsoil is low in lime and fertility.
There are other factors that can
cause poor growth such as inade
quate drainage, poor physical
conditions of the 6oil, draughty
areas, insefctts and disease.
Regardless of the cause of poor
growth areas, determining the 1
trouble is largely a process of
elimination according to Dilding-1
ham. That is, each possible cause'
is checked to see if it is causing
poor growth. Those 'possibilities
that are easiest to check should
be investigated first.
If a plant nutrient disorder is
suspected, it will be necessary to
have the soil tested states Dill
ingham. The soil sample must be
taken from the. problem area and
another separate sample from an '
adjacent area where growth ap
pears normal. j
Areas of poor growth in fields
reduce profits. Very often the
cause of poor growth can be le
termined and may be easy to
correct. Mr. Dillingham suggests
that you contact your county ex-1
tension office in Burnsville should
you have poor crop growth.
an even higher figure than we ‘
anticipate,” Watkins warned, but :
a few commonsense precautions :
can keep the inevitable under a 1
measure of control.
“Remember that traffic con
gestion averages three times nor
mal on national holiday weekends,
so be alert and extremely careful
over this July Fourth holiday.’’
