Things to Remember

If you have been following this
series of articles you know that
Federal old-age and survivors in
surance means income for your old
age, and protection for your family
if you die.
If you work on job covered bv
social security, tell your wife that
there will be something coming to
her if you die. The chances are that
she doesn't know it.
For everybody we suggest two
rules to remember:
1. Whenever a worker reaches
IS, if he has been working under
Social Security, he should get in
touch with the nearest office of
the Social Security Administra-
ton and find out where he stands.
2. If worker dies after work
ing under Social Security, some
one should get in touch at once
with the nearest office of the So
cial Security Administration.
Don't delay. You may lose mo-
ney if you "do it later"
This is our last article in this
service on your Social Security.
For further information write or
call at your local Social Security
Administration field office. There
are more than 400 field offices
in the United States, Alaska, and
Hawaii. If you cannot locate field
office near your home ask your To-
cal post office to help you. The. Of
flee serving western North Carolina
is located at 2O3 Flatiron Building,
in Asheville, or meet the repre-
sentative when he visits your coun-
ty.

several times a day, providing cool
holding facilities, and developing
year-a-round markets that pay for a
steady flow of products Enough
time should be devoted to a flock of
this size to give the birds and the
product proper care throughout the
entire year
According to Dr. Gwin, the small
flock is more of an economic prob
lem than most people believe since
they generally produce low quality
products which appear on the market
only during surplus seasons. He
recommends that farmers study their
farm operation and keep a poultry
flock of the economical size best
adapted to their needs.
A good rule for those who have
small farm focks is to keep them
quite small until such time as they
feel the need to enlarge then make
The increase great enough to place
them in the several hundred bird
class and well beyond the uneconomi-
cal unit Of $50 to $50 birds, which the
economists generally find to be pro
ducers Of low returns and in some
cases even below producing any
profits at all.

Size of Poultry
Flock Discussed

Maryland farmers who keep poul-
try flocks as a sideline might well
consider the size of flock necessary
to operate economically. DR.. James
NJ. Gwin of the University of Mary
land Poultry Department advises
that it is genarally desirable to keep
a flock of less than so or more than
500 birds.
Small focks of 100 to 200 birds
normally produce more than the usual
farm family can consume and the
surplus must be disposed of through
some market channel. Because the
quantity is always small and, at
some times during the year there is
no surplus, it is impossible to build
a steady market outlet. Therefore, it
is desirable to keep the flock small
enough that it will produce only
enough for the farm family.
When the size of the flock is in
creased to 500 or more birds the
farmer can afford to do the things
necessary to produce top quality
product, such as; collecting eggs

Draw nigh, draw
nigh, Immanuel!" Emmanuel is one
of the names by which Jesus is
called, for the Christian church has
always read Isaiah 7:l4 as a proph-
ecy of Jesus Christ. The name
means God with u.s. and is the an
swer to the deepest cry of the
heart.
God in heaven far away, God the
Creator who set in motion this
mighty universe, God the All-power-
full ruling beyond the stars, God
the Eternal who knows neither
youth nor age.
Such God has sometimes been
believed in by men who neverthe-
less walked in a dark cloud of
lineliness, doubling that so great
a God could possibly have any in
terest in their own affairs.
Is God WITH us? Is God
with US? Is GOD with us? That
is the question that torments
the troubled mind. With one
voice, the whole church of God
answers Yes; the name of the
one in whose face we see the
glory of God is named God
with-us.'
In the first chapter of the Bible
we hear of a God who walked with
his children in a garden In the
first chapters of the Gospels we
hear songs to the God who has wis
tied his people," and in almost the
last chapter of the Bible we hear
the promise, God himself shall be
with them and be their own God"

"When We shall search for him
with all your hearts"

MOST TRUTHS are two-sided.
80 You have to keep both sides in
mind or you will not fully under
stand. God is with us yes; God is
with all men, yes-that is, there are
no favorites with him, he refuses
his presence to no one. God is al
ways available, available to all.
That is one side of the truth.
The other side is this: God is not
equally with all men. Some men
are alienated from God. Some men
whom God lives, we may fairly say
that God is with some in a higher
degree, in fuller measure. than he
is with others. jeremiah gives the
clue to this truth: eye shall seek
me and find me, when We shall
search for me with all your heart"
der 29:13) Those who do not
search for God will not find him.
Those whose search is half
hearted only half-fipd him.
God does not enter unlimited.
He is avaiIa able, but he will
not force his way in. We
can see how this is when
we think about Christians we
know. 1t does not make sense
to say that they are all equally
godly.
We have known some great
Christians of whom we might al
most dare to say that Pauls prayer
had been answered, that they have
been 'filled with the fullness of
God" (Eph 3:19) But in other
Christians, who certainly have
some small seed of faith in them,
it may he hard even for kindly
observer to see many signs of Gods
presence.
