Psalm 91:1. o Wherever you are today, at home or abroad, you move under the “shadow of the Almighty.” You do not have to wait until God guides someone else to safety before He can come to your side; you have your own indwelling Spirit, who is with you every moment and whose sole mission is to love and care for you. Likewise the person beside you or in some other foreign country has his own indwelling Spirit, a part of the great source. God each of you is protectde and cared for through your recognition of this mighty power. Should thoughts of fear come to you remem ber that God can cast out fear if you ask Him, that He is closer to you than breathing. He can and does fill you with courage. He inspires you with good judgment and wisdom, qualities that have much to do with your protection. Claim your protection now by realizing God’s presence with you; press on to the days activities confident of His care, His guidance. o COMMUNITY CHORUS o There is no community east of the Mississippi Riv er that is more talented for a community chorus than the community in which we live. There are hundreds of people in surrounding community who can sing and really sing—we have the makings of one of the finest community choruses of any place—far and near.. Black Mountain is blessed with many music lovers and after all what can be sweeter than good music and good voices, good singers can not be made; they are a gift of God. It would be the greatest gift to Black Mountain, that it ever had if the singers would get together and form a Community Chorus and sing at least once a ■week for the coming summer. This kind of entertainment is clean and wholesome. Now why not the good singers of the community get together and let’s have a Community Chorus.

Advanced methods in refining wheat flour reached their peak some years ago making the flour j whiter and softer than ever. The most beautiful bread that man had ever seen! There was only one flaw—the refinement had tak en out the food value! Only in the most recent years have we known that the wheat going through these refining processes 1 must be artificially enriched in | order to gain back its value. Re cent knowledge about vitamins J has taught us that large segments of our population even though • eating a great deal were actually | starving. This is a parable of life. We have added to life more of the “re finements” than ever before- To day we have the things most need- j ed for more spectacular living— j and also more spectacular dying. The luxuries of life that have be come available to most of us have added to the glamour of our civil ization. We are overcoming the roughness of the former days, and we have osught to produce a life that is finer and easier. But, again, there is a flaw—we have left out the “food value” of abund ant living. In other words we have tried to sustain an excellent culture without the moral values that must be retained. There are certain moral vitamins without which we will die. Today we are stuffed but starved. We must learn to keep the real refinements of our day and inject into them the vital forces of faith and hon esty and unselfishness and Godly love or we will perish. The day of our doom is at hand, the power of our deliverance, however, is in the vitality of the living God.

GOLDEN PROMOTED TO CAPT. Marvin L. Golden, chief of edu cational reconditioning in Moore General Hospital, and widely known throughout western North Carolina for the many lectures he has given before civic clubs and industrial organizations, has been promoted to the rank of captain,; Col. Frank W. Wilson, post com mander, announced Monday. Captain Golden has been at Moore General Hospital since September 1943. In addition to his work in educational recondi-! tioning he has served as assist- j ant to the special service officer, and chairman of various official fund drives such as Red Cross, the j United W r ar Fund, and the March j of Dimes drives. Capt. Golden entered the service j in July 1942 as a private from the' principalship of Central Elemen tary School in Fairmont, W. Va. He was then appointed to the Army School of Administration; Officer Candidate School at Grin nell College, graduation as a sec ond lieutenant in June 1943. Be fore coming to Moore General he was assigned to Camp Sutton and Camp Butner, N. C. He was in the service during World War I and for the second | World War wears the American Theater Ribbon, the Victory Rib bon, and the Meritorious Unit wreath. Before induction he and Mrs. Golden resided in Jackson Apart ments, Fairmont Avenue. Plenty Os Ham And Eggs For Breakfast o The outlook from many reports is that there will be a surplus of eggs and poultry this coming vear. The government is reduc ing thp goals for eggs and poul- | try. However, when returning service men all over the country call for ham and eggs for break fast or call for two or perhaps thr"e boiled eggs it will mean a greater consumption of eggs than we bad before the war. Just re member this one fact: that West ern North Carolina has never produced enough poultry or eggs j or milk. Sinoo 1869 there have been twenty-one major earthquakes in i Japan, each of which killed more than 1,000 persons. SOIL CONSERVATION IS NEEDED IN 1946 The farmers are slowly learn ing that the most valuable rel - that we have is our own land, and we can no longer afford I to see it wash away and go down the hillsides into the creeks, and rivers, and on into the Mississippi. I We need the services of the Soil j Conservation service in Western i North Carolina. We want right ! away to have air photographs of the farms in every county in | Western North Carolina and then help in using these photographs ] to restore and build up the pro ductivity of the soil on every farm | in the mountains. We do not quite understand j what is blocking our requests to j | have the Soil Conservation service j set up in Western North Carolina, j ! As far as we know this is a ser- j | vice which is available to farmers in any part of the United States when they vote to bring it in. We must set about to get the service of soil conservation set up in the mountain counties of North Car- olina in 1946. You can bleach those scorched white shirts with a sun lamp.
