Friday. But it is remembered as
the day the President signed an
Act in 1794 in order to have a
sea force powerful enough to
handle the threat of . the Bar
bary pirates, v Congress, in fact,
had provided that if the trouble
with the pirates, should cease,
the construction of the warships
authorized should be stopped. ,.
On March 28th, 1819, the first
trans-Atlantic steamship trip
began. .. . . Pierre Laplace was
born in 1749 and one of the few
resolutions of censure passed by
the United States Senate wa.
adopted on March 28th, 1834.
The vote was 26-20, in con
demnation of President Jackson
for removing the deposits from
the United States bank.
Tbw ysar March 2rftri is Eas
ter Sunday. John Tyler, the
tenth President of , the. United,
States, was also born at Green
way, Charles City County, Vir
ginia on March 29th, 1790. Per
haps Tyler is best remembered
for having established the prece
dent that the Vice-President be
comes President upon the death
of the President. ..As Vice
President, under President Har
rison, he settled art argument
whether the Vice President was
only . an acting President, or
actually became President. Up
on the death of President Harri
son, he settled that question by
moving into the White House
and functioning as President.
This has been the tradition
I ever since.
As he did during the 1957
Legislature, Representative Car
roll Holmes has introduced a
till in the 1959 General As
sembly calling for compulsory
inspection of motor vehicles.
' Although a great many people
throughout tie State oppose
compulsory vehicle inspection,
due mainly to a mishandled
program years ago, we firmly
support the proposed measure as
one which is "reasonable and if
written; into law 'can mean
greater safety on the highways
of North Carolina.
Too manv motorists, we think, j
give too little attention to the
mechanical parts of a motor

Increase In Corn
Acreage Indicated
March 1, ; 1959, prospective
plantings of corn indicate that
2,008,000 acres will be planted
ft 81 purposes, ' according to
the North Carolina Crop Re
porting Service. If farmers
carry out their intentions, they
will plant 13 1,000 acres, or 7
percent more . than they did in
1958. ; :-:
There are no corn acreage al
lotments for 1959. In 1958 corn
acreage allotments were in ef
fect in 32 eastern North Caro
lina counties,; The indicated in
crease in corn acreage is due to
the absence of acreage restric
tions and a resumption of plant
ing all or part of the acreage
placed in the Soil Bank in 1958.
North' Carolina farmers placed
sbout 118,500 acres or 13.5 per
cent of their allotments in the
At-reage Reserve Program in
1958.
For the iMited States, reports
indicate that there will be
83,921,000 acres of corn for all
purposes planted in 1959. This
will be 12.4 percent above the
74.654,000 acres planted in 1958.

lie
the end of this month the one
fourth of 1959 will already be
history, ; But this is true, and
in watching time ' pass on pa
rade, it is good to remember
some of the things which hap
pened during these March days
in nasi years. I
. For example, Patrick Henry
made his, famous speech in 1775
1. requests are still being ac
cepted on a day to day basis.
Bellmon also reports that thr
ASC office manager has been
authorized by the county com
mittee to approve requests of
farmers where, all requirements
are met. This means that if the
oractice in which they are in
terested does not require tech-
on March '23rd.' He was der , mcai approval ana . supervision
lending a resolution he had in-1 by SCS, the farmer can, in one
troduced in the provincial con- trip to the county office, request
vention of . Virgjnia which called cost-sharing, have his request
for the organization of a militia' approved and if necessary ob-
in order to put the , colony of tain a purchase order for ma-
Virginia in a state of prepared-
ness.

24th in 1820, and on that day

Approved spring practices
;which farmers may receive as
sistance in performing are (1)
the Greek-Turkish war flared! forest improvement, (2) forest
in 1918. On the 25th of March,
In 1913, over 700 lives were lost
in the famous Ohio-Indiana
-'floods.
This day is also Maryland
Day, celebrating the landing in
1634 on St. Clement's Island of
the colonists sent over from
England by Lord Baltimore, un
der the leadership of his brother,
Leonard Calvert.
, On that day in 1807, incident
ally, Parliament abolished the
slave trade in England. On the
26th Beethoven died, in 1827,
and Benjamin Thompson, who
became Count Rumford, a dis
tinguished American physicist
and Loyalist during the Revolu
tion, Was born at Woburn, Mas

beans, crotalaria and sesbania.
Prior approval must be obtained
bre the practice is started.
Every time an acre of crop
land is taken out of production
of an allotment crop, our con
servation needs are increased by
that amount. Be'lmon says that
because of this reduced acreage,
we have a terrific amount of
conservation which needs to be
carried out before we can even
get back to where we were a
few years ago. He says that

."THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS"
The purpose of this lessoll
should help adults fully realize,
the significance of the Kesurrec-1
tion both in the, life of the eaHyi
church and in their own experi
ences today.
Reading our Scriptures for to
day unfolded before us once
again is the story of Jesus aris
ing from the dead, after his cru
cifixion, and appearing before his
disciples. We read of the despair
of the people on finding the sep
' ulchre empty. Of their wonder
' ment when Jesus appeared be
fore them. And of the faith and
confidence which this appearance
instilled in them. We read of the
change in their attitude towards
t death.
I So many more peopie go to
church on Easter Sunday than at
any other time in the year. Why?
It is because Easter is the firm
est hold that man has on life after
death. We do not have to have
a reason to believe in Eternity.
We just know it, It is intuition
with us. Yet, it is also true that
people frequently lose , hold of
I this truth. Into our minds come
doubts, despite ourselves. Some
times the thought of death and
the great unknown beyond the ,
grave puts panic into our hearts.
We associate death with Shadows
and with darkness. Oh Easter
we take hold again of the cer
tainty of eternal life. We look
to that day to take away the
gloom and the fear, to give us
comfort and assurance.
We come to church on this day
because there we will find an an
swer to our questionings. The J
answer is the promise of .Christ, I
Because I live, you will live al-1
o." These' words are found in
the beloved fourteenth chapter tf
John. : ' , .
He begins that chapter with
"Let not' your hearts be trou
bled," ancTtre goes on to tell that j
beyond thssvtife there is another
abiding pjfc. He says Christ
will be there and that we will be
with him. "Because I live," said
Christ. On the fact of his Res- i
urrection rests man's assurance of ,
life after der Jh. . .
How can we know that Christ j
is risen? , There are two ways
to know; through a study of the
evidence; and through an experi
ence of his presence. Our evi
dence is found in the last two
chapters in each of the first three
Gospels Matthew, Mark and
Luke and the last three chap
ters of John. He was pronounced
dead. His body was embalmed.
Remembering that he ' said he
would arise, every possible pre
caution was taken to prevent a
hoax. His body was placed in a
grave hewn in solid rock and
sealed with a large stone. Guards
were placed to watoh his grave.
Then an earthquake came. An
angel descended from heaven.
The soldiers were petrified. U
Even his own followers did not
expect him to rise. Had they
done so, they would have been
waiting around, his tomb instead
of shutting themselves up in a
room with the doors barred in
fear. Even when they were told
the news, they did not believe.
When he wa buried they were
depressed, frightened, and filled
with, despair. Just seven weeks
later, after Christ had appeared
before them seven times,- a tre
mendous change had taken place
in these menj . They were fear
lessly shouting the news to- ev
eryone who Would listen. ' After
Jesus ascended, they were men
filled with joy, With courage, ad
with a vision of conquering the
world in his name. The evidence .
of the Resurrection was strong
enough for those who were there. '
Paul never saw Christ in the j
flesh. Yet he wrote In t Ccin-1
thians 15 the greatest statement
on life after death" that has even j
been written, when he records
the fact of Christ's appearance af
ter his Resurrection before his
brethren. Earlier Paul had not
believed. Before he died, how
ever, Paul surrendered his rebel
lious will. He began to live .end
do as he felt Christ wanted him j
to. ; From then on he lived tor J
Christ At the "end of his lita he
was in jail and soon to be exe
cuted; But he war not worried. ,
i And "today we "fight" the
good fight of the fai'b.V we come'
into a realization that ' Christ
does live. j r :
