The story of The Good Samaritan ranks with that of The Prodigal Son as the best known of all parables. Jesus was passing through Perea when he snoke this parable. Five figures appear in the story, each por trayed in a few potent words. The 1 parable teaches tolerance, inasmuch v as one of the hated Samaritans was exalted, but more vitally, emphasis P'ace uPn deeds of love rather than pretensions of aith. The first character to appear is a certain' lawyer, who took advantage of an opportunity to open a theologi cal discussion with Jesus by asking the .question often met in discussion: What must be done to inherit eternal life? The rich young ruler asked the same question and Jesus repeated to him the social commandments. In the ease of the lawyer, Jesus replied by asking him his own opinion. Having the inquiry presented for hh own answer, the lawyer quoted r Deut 6:5 and Lev. 19-18, enjoining love for God and "thy neighbor as thyself" a part of the Shema, which y , severy devout Jew repeated twice daily. Thereupon, Jesus affirmed the correctness of his answer, telling him that if he did this, he would live! This disposition of the discussion did not saitsfy the lawyer, who had been put in the position of asking a ques tion to which he already knew the answer, so, seeking a justification, he put to Jesus the historic question: Who is my neighbor? In Leviticus a neighbor was held to be one's own people and the lawyer probably felt that if Jesus departed from this ac TAYLOR THEATRE EDENTON, N. C.

ROAD cepted dogma, he could be accused of contradicting the Scripture, i The parable of the Good Samari tan was Jesus' answer to the latter question. How easily and wonder fully he avoided Lie 'nap ..a. ed everlasting truth, Nvhich even the questioner himself had to confirm. ...s.ea of settm;; a limit to the scope of lo- e and, laising a restriction upon the dulj of a man to his fellows, Jesus taught a love which knew no limit, recognized no barrier and gave not only of time, but also of re sources and ability. The thoughtful and careful love exhibited by the Samaritan in this story has caused subsequent generations to refer to him as the "Good Samaritan," placing an adjective before him which is no mentioned in the gospel record, foi Jesus only referred to him as a "cer tain" Samaritan, designating him by the same word used in reference to the victim of the robbers, the pries and the benefactor. The story is probably familiar to all. A man on the descending road, from Jerusalem to Jericho was at- acked by robbers, who left him bare and badly hurt. A priest and a Le- vite, both officials of the Jewish church, passed their stricken brother and unconcernedly continued their journey. The Samaritan, of mixed racial ancestry and despised by the Jews, had compassion on the wounded man, disregarded the prejudice which he knew resided in the Jew's heart toward him, and ministered to his re lief. Not only was his present need ared for, but the Samaritan carried him to an inn and before leaving him made arrangements that his care and necessities would be provided for. All this was done without any hope of reward, actuated only by a feeling of love and concern for a fellow human being in distress and suffering. Too many people in the world today are passers-by, just like this priest and the Levite. The former probably excused his callousness by thinking of the ceremonial defilement which would result if he touched a dead orly, or fearing that the bandits might still be lurking nearby and at tack him, or possibly that some reli gious service would be delayed if he stopped, or maybe he knew the Le vite was following and left the task for him to do. It is always easy for us to find excuse to justify our re fusal to undertake any task which breaks the ordinary comfortable and pleasant course of our own existence. The Levite likewise justified his omission of this service because he tfas following the example of the pre "e.ling priest or because his concep ts of religion was a matter of sac--;fices, ceremonies and formalities mther than the rendering of service MAKE YOUR KITCHEN A REAL SANTA CLAUS Timely features by a distinguished authority on household efficiency i which housewives are given helpfu hints for their holiday preparations Look for this article in the Decembei 35fh issue of The American Weekly the bit; magazine distributed with the Baltimore American On Sals at All Newsstands MUtrjtf UQ WO.

C HigtivVsy Director Cannot Restore Revoked Licenses Ronald Focutt, director of the North Carolina Highway Safety Di vision, said this week that he would like to make it clear to all North Carolina diivers that he has no more authority to "fix" a license revoca tion than the man m the moon has 'It's amazing how many people try to get me to help them out when their driver's license has been re voked for drunken driving or some other revocable violation," he said,. "Hardly a day goes by but that some person comes to me personally or tries to reach me through some mutual friend in ah' attempt to get me to shorten the term of a license revocation, or to lift it completely. "As a matter of fact, I have ab solutely no authority to do anything in connection with revocations out side of routine administration of the terms of the driver's license act of 1985. Under that law. when a driv- er is convicted of any one of several offenses, including drunken driving ana nu-ana-run, tne court is requir ed to take up his license and forward it to the Highway Safety Division, which in turn is required to send the convicted party a notice that his li cense has been revoked and to hold the license until the revocation per iod has expired. The division's func tion is one of routine administrative procedure, and the director can do 1 . . . nothing to help a person who has been convicted of a revocable of fense. Even the Governor, who has the power to pardon or parole State prisoners, has no authority to re store a revoked driver's license un til the revocation period has run out." "I vish," Hocutt added, "that every driver in North Carolina would learn this, so I wouldn't be continu ally pestered to do something about revoked licenses." Since the driver's license act was passed in 1935, the Highway Safety Division has revoked the licenses of more than 30,000 drivers. "Golgotha" Shown Here December 10th "Golgotha" is not an ordinary mo tion picture. It is a spectacular and thrilling entertainment. And in ad dition to being highfly entertaining and interesting, it also renders an outstanding moral, religious, and educational value to every commun ity in which it is shown. "Golgotha" is one of the most costly pictures ever shown. The picture was made in the old country but all speaking 1-arts are in English. It is a tre mendous spectacle. The cast, cos unninsr, and settings make it one of the greatest scenic dramas ever film ed. It is necessary to see the pic ture to appreciate its greatness. The Hertford Parent-Teachers As sociation feels fortunate to have the opportunity to present such an out standing motion picture in this com munity. To see it is a rare oppor tunity. State College Issues New Bedding Pamphlet Realizing that a clean, comfortable bed is a great aid to restful sleep, the State College Extension Service has issued a pamphlet entitled "The Clean and Comfortable Bed." It is Extension Miscellaneous Pamphlet No. 44, and the publication is avail able free upon request by name and number to the Agricultural Editor, N. C. State College, Raleigh. Miss Pauline E. Gordon, Extension specialist in home management and house furnishings, and Miss Mamie. f. Whisnant, assistant specialist in the same field, prepared the pam phlet. Care of mattresses, pillows, blank ets, and comforts is stressed, and since these bedding materials are used for a long period of time, it is recommended that they be kept clean by protectors that can be laundered easily. Another point emphasized is the size of the sheets. "Nothing is more unpleasant than beddmg that is too short or too nar row," Miss Gordon declares. "Short sheets are .uncomfortable since they do not protect the blankets and mat tress. Also, they wear out more ra pidly because the sleeper is always jerking them." ' The publication recommends that the bottom sheet be long enough to allow for a good tuck-in at the head and foot, so that the sheet will be smooth. The lop sheet should allow for a good tuck-in at the foot and there should be about 18 inches to turn bp-k over the blankets to keep them rom co-ning in contact with the fr". recl shoulders and arms. The preet should be the length of the m-ttress. plus twice the' .thick ness p'-the mattress (a total of 10 . inches), pi as a . six-inch tuck-in at the head. and foot; (a total of iz inches); plus 5 Inches' for the hems and 6 inches for shrinkage. Thus a mattress 78 inches in length would require a sheet 108 inches long. Young Herd Bull Needs Good Care To the scores of farmers in North Carolina who have recently added a herdi of beef cattle to their agricul tural enterprises, L. I. Case, Exten sion animal husbandman of N. C. 'State College, sends a message urg .ng care of the herd bull, especially if the animal is young. "iO-ng bullls should be well fed anci cared for in order to grow them out properly," he says. "A good ra tion is equal parts oi corn, crushed oats, wheat bran, and all the legume hay the animal will eat. If legume hay is not available, add about one half pound of a protein supplement with the grain mixture. Where wheat bran is too high in price, dou Lfle the amount of oats in the ration. "The total amount of grain to be fed should vary with the condition of the bull, but in no case should it be necessary to feed more than one pound to each 100 pounds live weight of the animal. Small amounts of good sweet silage may be fed to the bull, but large quantities may prove detrimental." Case also recommends that the young bull have access to salt and pure water at all times, and a nun eral mixture of equal parts of steam' It J 1 ? i : ed bone meal, ground limestone, and salt should be kept where he can help himself. The beef type Lull should not be put into service until he is at least one year old. The first year he may be used on not over 10 or 12 cows, one service to the cow. The bull should have access to a well fenced lot or pasture where he can take ex ercise. An open air shed or shelter oi' some kind, should be available . ui.ie bied cows running in the same lot with the bull will induce exercise. In no case should the bull be allowed to run with unbred females. 'IliT-STON NEWS Mr. and Mrs. Tom Riddick visited relatives in Gatesville Sunday after noon.

THIS MONTH The month of December usually, means "hog-killin"' time in North Carolina, but there are things other than cold weather that are important in curing meat. Earl H. Hotetler, professor of animal husbandry at N. C. State College, says pork of excellent qual ity can be cured on t'ne farm if pro per precautions are taken in slau: h tering the hogs and in cunng, strok ing, and storing the meat. In past years, a folder published by the Extension Service on killing and curing meat has proved extreme ly popular with farm people. This publication has been revised this fall to include the latest recommenda tions and will soon be off the press Farm families desiring a copy should write to the Agricultural Editor at State College, Raleigh, ' and ask for Extcno'i Folder No. 34. Enos Blair, extension agronomist, says there are plenty of jobs for the good farmer to get out of the way before Christmas. In the Piedmont, he advises plowing all clover and les pe leza lands that are to be planted to corn, cotton, or any other crop next spring. By plowing in the late fall or early winter, the soil will be subjected to freezing and thawing, a process that not only kills out manj troublesome insects but also pulver izes the soiii in a manner unrivale by. any other means. On red clay farms, fall plowing is often the dif ference between success and failure in next year's crop. For growers in tne Coastal Plain, Mr. Blair gives this timely advice: Disc under all corn, bean, and cottor. stalks before the end of the yeai. By incorporating these stalks into the first thre or four inches of soil, they will decay considerably before crop-planting time, and the results will be much better than when the stalks are turned under early in the spring. December, says Roy S. Dearstyne. head of the State College Poultry Department, is a critical month for North Carolina Poultrymen. Winter is here, necessitating many days ol confinement for the laying birds which should be in heavy production by this time. Careful management must be practiced, for any neglect of the birds under such conditions is immediately reflected in their per- AUTO AND PERSONAL LOANS See Us Personally Before Purchasing an Automobile.

Miles, Director of the Soil Testing Division of the State Department of Agriculture, a n u Frank Brown, Assistant Soil Chem ist, are preparing to make soil tests for farmers to determine the best suited fertilizer mixture for the crop they desire to grow. Any farmer can secure free soil tests by writing the State Department of Agriculture at Raleigh. "Now is the time for growers to have their soils tested if they are to use the information that will be furnished to the best advantage," Dr. Miles said.
