Some figures from a yAtel welfare office in Massachusetts explain, at least r "i part,: why the problem of C .elfafe Is getting out of control. jcoruing io we ngures, a .mil; of four on the Aid for "ipeadent Children program in -- assachusetts enjoys a standard living $1,275 a year higher than fanjily of the same size sup trtefj by an average wage srnef. Including fringe benefits free medical and dental care, x relief, subsidized rent and ortgage payments, special surance breaks - the family of jur 'pn welfare receives the juivfilent of $7,671.55 a year, jie average wage earner's mily gets $6,396.00 a year, jiest figures from fissachusetts are very likely pilar to figures for other ates. No nation can live in tfinitely under this kind of a fndicap and still maintain the oductivity of its people - or the jtiative of the individual. i i , V . : Inflation Preview ' . . . t . . . A preview of tomorrow's in ation can be seen in reports on -le outlook for federal deficit Ending during the next year. t n AP dispatch brings the news t a joint congressional timittee estimates that the J.deral deficit for the fiscal year Ssst started may be about 9 jillion more than the Nixon Sdmihistration expects. Instead If the $1.3 billion deficit that had .been estimated, the outlook now is for a shortage as high as $10.3 billion. How deep the government goes into the red depends on ". . . what Congress does or does not do between now and the end of the fiscal year next June 30." If Congress continues to follow its present course, the country can expect mountainous deficits followed by more Inflation for which no one but the spendthrift congressmen we send to Washington will be to blame. Manv of these same congressmen will even indulge in the hypocrisy during coming months of waving the banner of consumer protectionism, wnne by their vote, they approve of red ink government spending tnat will inevitably breed more inflation. Letter To Editor Dear Mrs. Transeau, Just a note to tell you of a strange incident of how The Perquimans Weekly brought two people from Hertford together to meet each other as families, aftenbeing away 18 years. I received my Perquimans Weekly, as usual on Wednesday and inside it was another copy for Johnny Ray Mansfields who also lives here in San Antonio 'only a few blocks away. Upon calling his home, he was sur prised also that someone from Hertford was here;. also being an Air Force family. I went over and visited with his family and talked of Perquimans County and looked over family photos. Just wanted you to know how accidents can make our world a little smaller, whoever was the blame. It was a nice mistake. Looking forward to your future issues of the hometown news. Sincerely, Mrs. William Moore Social Security Administration In Memoriam In loving memory of our dear parents, Annie E. Monds who departed this life 10 years ago Sept. 8, 1960 and Thomas F. Monds who passed away Oct. 19, 1950. Just to have had you for our parents was a treasure beyond compare, Whenever we needed you, You were always there. The hands that worked so hard for us are resting at God's will, You shared our hopes, our joys, our tears, Thank you both for those wonderful years.

Second, he should change his address with his local Post Office.

We suggest that the next of kin immediately phone his hometown funeral director who will then make all arrangements for the care and return of the deceased.

These names assure us of quality. We, too, are known by our names. Mention of John Smith immediately inspires a positive or negative reaction, depending upon Jlhe man's reputation. A good name is indeed our most priceless, yet most perishable, posses sion. Day in and day out, our thoughts, words and actions must be on the side of good ness, for it is today which determines tomorrow's past for good or for bad. If we could only perform each act and-utter each word as if they were our last, those by which we would be re membered, then how great would be the significance of our names? In this confused era where better can we turn for guid ance and help than to the Church? Hero we will discov er the teachings of Christ the most hallowed name of all.

THE PERIL OF SECULARISM International Sunday School Lesson for September 13, 1970 MEMORY SELECTION: "Looking diligently ... lest there by any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright". - (Hebrews 12: 1547) LESSON TEXT: Genesis 25:19 to 28:9; 36:1-8; Hebrews 12:15-17. Man was fashioned after God's Image; he was endowed with soul and a brain, and a conscience ... all of which were intended to be the tools with which he worked towards his . own salvation. Unfortunately, being of human clay, he was heir to all sorts of temptations of temporal origin, and which part of his nature had the uppermost hand was, in effect, the measure of the man. Why? It still is! Perhaps nowhere is this more graphically illustrated than in the story of Esau and Jacob, twin sons of Isaac and Rebekah. Esau, a creature subservient to his own immediate needs, heedless of the value of his birthright as the eldest son; Jacob, the younger brother, somewhat weak in nature, infinitely pliable; shrewd, and not above driving a hard bargain - but nevertheless a man capable of great spiritual experiences as he matured. God had promised to establish a Chosen people through the descendants of Abraham and Isaac . . . yet for some twenty years Isaac and Rebekah remained childless. This state of affairs evidently troubled Isaac greatly, for we see him entreating the Lord on behalf of his wife. Ultimately Rebekah conceived, and the twin boys were born; two nations were thus established, and a family's loyalties were divided. We read that Isaac greatly loved Esau . . . the hunter, the fun loving individual - the one who took heed of today and tended . to let tomorrow take care of Itself. Jacob, on the other hand, stayed close to home, was closest to his mother, and she to him. To him Rebekah imparted the knowledge that he was to be the son to found a dynasty; his older brothers (who nor mally would have Inherited the greater share of his father's - possessions) was to be subservient to the younger boy. What heady wine this must have been to the dreamy youth! How much most this knowledge have contributed to the deceptions of which he was guilty, to assure his ascendancy to power within the family confines! All of which would have been proved to be unnecessary if he had but trusted In the word of the Lord, for God had ordained his leadership anyway, and the fact that God showed him the way to maturity and completed His plan despite Jacob's weaknesses must only prove that God will not be turned from His plan for mankind. Once again we see Him Using seemingly poor material and weaving it to meet His purposes! His will is ever at work in our world today ... In us ... in His churches. Through our conscious and striving obedience to His will we find our birthright We must not hold it lightly, as did Esau; we must not covet it unwisely, as did Jacob. We must, rather, treasure it, holding it above aU temporal gains. It is, indeed, beyond the price of rubies, for it is the promise of life everlasting. It transcends all the riches the earth can of fer us, and is more enduring than the life we knowonthls earth today. It was bought for us by Christ's precious blood, and is therefore a binding covenant upon us. We are constrained to mu . nvthliuiaa Wa mixt ut mirntvaa a foal towards which we must continually work - obedience to the win of, God, and a sense of value based upon the precepts as illustrated in Christ We must earn our birthright! .
