Virginia Looks Good

4 TEN DAY TRIP through North and
South Carolina and Virginia confirms
our conclusion that Virginia looks pretty
good. In spite of lack in moisture the crops
in the south and western part of the State

was being transplanted and watered in the
tobacco growing areas of northern North
Carolina and southern Virginia. Crops of
wheat throughout this section were pro-
life and nearing harvest. In South Carolina
corn was waist high and the tobacco crop
we'll on the way. Apple and peach orchards
through western Carolina appeared pro-
life. The general observation as far down
as Georgetown, S. c., was that the past
winter and the spring were the coolest
experienced for many years and crops
generally were from two to three weeks
behind normal schedule.

tax is six cents
If state gasoline taxes are raised pro-
portionately as much as the Federal tax,
which is going up by fifty per cent then
the added cost of gallon of gasoline will
amount to three or four cents Since gaso-
line is already higher than it has ever been
before in this country. one can see gallon
of high test" gasoline coming close to
forty cents in many areas
This trend brings us to the question of
where increasing costs of operation will
stop, in the automotive world The average
number of extras, required upkeep, and
more and more powerful engines and
heavier cars, all add to increased operating
costs.
At some point along the line, further
cost increases will begin to affect the auto

Although it will be charged that once
personal exemptions are allowed for those
sending children to college, it will open
the floodgates to all sorts of personal
exemptions. we do not agree with this
argument Higher education in the United
States is not free and, in fact, it is becoming
increasingly expensive and a growing bur-
den on parents.
IN many states. provision is made for
allowances to those bearing the cost of
higher education for their children. but
Federal tax regulations make no ADEQUATE
provision or this score.

Unsuitable Exemption

A BILL has been introduced in Congress
which would provide an increased
personal exemption for the head of the
household who is sending child or child
rem to college. The exemption would be in
creased by several hundred dollars for
each child IN college and is designed to al
leviate the strain of providing higher edu-
cation for ones children
We support this proposed bill because
1t is in the best interest of higher education,
because it is theoretically sound and be-
cause such an exemption is justified from
various standpoints.

Always the Same

The more it changes. the more
it stays the same" is French
proverb. which might well de-
scribe the church Of God, 1t is
quite true. the church has gone
through many changes as it has
moved westward with the years,
but at heart. when it has had
heart it has always been the
same I'VE say When it has had
a heart" because some churches
have lost heart. or lost their heart,
grown cold and died. It would be
quite a shock for a member of any
American church east or west to
walk into meeting of the chm oh
at Corinth in St Paul $ time 1t
would be just as pulling for a
Corinthian TO enter any American
churcha great cathedral in New
York or a country church forty
miles from anywhere; neither one
would be like his Corinthian meet
ing But the heart Of the church
is the same In Corinth, Kansas
City or the Kentucky hills, Wher-
ever people are gathered together
who love the Lord Jesus. who
adore Him as Son Of God and
know Him as their Saviour. wher-
: ever those who love Christ are
united to serve mankind in His
name. there is the Chris t a n
| church at worship and at work
| Languages and forms differ. but
the spirit of Christ is always the
same.
