j Oaring the year 1948, Negro Vet
eran Farmer Trainees of Perquimans
County - made excellent progress in
becoming established in farming.
In many respects, their achievements
were above average, taking the group
aa a whole. The -following are some
of the out-standing achievements
made during 1948 by Negro Veteran
Farmer Trainees:
Approximately 35 of the trainees
changed from renter to owner of
farms or homesteads.. This is a
highly desirable and advantageous
process. ' '
An Agricultural Building (shop
and classroom) was erected by-the
indispensable aid of the Veteran
Farmers who contributed labor val
ued at $2301.60 plus $195.00 in cash.
One veteran, Samuel Moore, pro
duced 110 bushels of hybrid corn No.
26 (yellow) per acre. The group as
a whole averaged 55-60 bushels -per
acre. ':...'
Diversified farming was practiced
successfully and a livestock ' crop
combination program started.
Recommended , seed, fertilizer and
soil conservation practices were used
with good results.

LESSON
(Continued From Page Nine)
er, but by their question as to his,
parentage,' they had already indicat
ed a lack of faith. Healing was not
a mere sideline in the life of Jesus.
Out of the forty-five miracles, par
ticularly set forth, thirty-six were to
relieve people from sickness and
death. Love could not endure human
suffering and distress.
Another truth stands out, connect
ea in some way with almost every
miracle, whether of healing or other
wise, mat is the requirement of a
conplementary faith on the part of
the diseased in order for them to be
benefitted through the great power
of Jesus. Jesus often told applicants
for relief that it would be according
to their own faith.
How far can faith and spiritual
power work cures today? . There are
some who depend upon these forces
confidently and successfully. Others,
"There is no r . 1 vily .-:y,iiian

medicine, - says John K. Ewers.
"There is nothing on'eartlT finer than
Christian - ' physician ; ; r Pastors
and good people can do much today
in relating the sick , to God-' Prayer
brings quiet confidence, peace, a sense
of God's nearness, sympathy and
power. Good doctors know the, power
of prayer and encourage it"
"One of the most Superficial errors
of our time, however," says Dr. John
T- McFarland, 'is that the main ob
ject of faith . , ; The, roots of the
good fruits and the evil fruits of life
its wealth i and its poverty, its
health and sickness,! its happiness and
its misery lies fa spiritual roots.
Jesus was the Great Physician, but
he was great because his " diagnosis
of the Sickness of the world did not
stop with its symptoms but penetrat
ed to its ultimate causes." , .
There Is no doubt but that, much
disease and ill-health is the result
of the evil habits of the sufferers. A
great deal ! is the' inherited con
sequence of sin In prior fenerations.

O Leaders of unions representing rail

railroads to add xtra, needless men on
diesel locomotives. This is sheer, waste
a "make-work" program which would
mean fewer Improvements and higher:

Two men compose the crew of a dieseL
They occupy a clean, comfortable cab at the
front. The engineer handles the throttle. The
fireman sits nd watches the track ahead.

No Benefit To Ton
Now the leaders of the Brotherhood of Loco
' motive Engineers and, the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen apA Enginemen want
to use the diesel locomotive as a means of
. forcing a feather-bedding scheme on the rail
roads. The extra men they propose to add to
, the diesel crews are; not needed. There is no
work for them. Vr' 'rw. ;: ;'.f 'X .': ;..::
' , The union leaders are fighting among them-
selves about which -union should furnish
' these extra, needless men. The Brotherhood of '
5 Locomotive Engineers have even threatened
a strike. You may not be interested in this dia-
: pute of these two unions, but you would be
'vitally concerned if these groups succeed in
- putting through this feather-bed dins scheme."
' because it would mean a slowing up of the

Their pay is high by any standard. Granting .
. of these demands, therefore, would mean that y
the railroads would be paying out millions in
unearned wages to those in the very highest
pay brackets. .
We'd Like To Spend This Money On Yon ;
, You know how much the diesel has meant to
you in increased speed, comfort and conven :
ience. The railroads have many more of them
on order for even greater improvement in
service to you. But needless drains of money,'
such as this present demand of the. unions for
needless men on.djesels, reduce the ability of
the railroads to spend money on-better serv- '
ice for you. -. Xxx :-i--r'- - ' X -
Proud as the railroads are of the diesel, it is .
only a small part of their improvement pro- . ,
. gram. Since the War, literally billions of dol
lars have been spent on .improvement of ,
tracks and stations, on new passenger and
freight cars, as well as on diesel locomotives,
and On the many other less conspicuous de-.
tails of railroading that contribute to im
proved service. : V ,
Feather-Bedding Means Less Service To Ton '
But brazen feather-bedding schemes like the
one now proposed would, if successful, divert
. large sums of money from our present im
provement programs. Even worse, they make
improvements like the diesel worthless, by;
, making the cost of their operation m-ohibitiv.
. . These demands are against youb interests
' as well as those of the railroads. They are V
schemes, to '.'make work". Neither you nor
the railroads should be forced to pay such a
penalty for progress. .
That's why the railroads are resisting these
"make work?" demands to the last ditch- and
why they are telling you about them. '
