This back- ground of hostility must be kept in mind as we read the famous pas sage preceding our lesson, at the end of Mark 8. The Master had taken his disciples on a long ex cursion to the northeast, near Mt. Sermon, the region of Caesarea X-ninppi. There, in comparative seclusion, Peter made his dramatic confession, and the Messianic secret was revealed. But no doubt the disciples were troubled by Jesus’ prediction of his cruel death (Mark 8:31).

Miss Martha Pressly, Manager of the Social Security Board’s, Bureau of 6ld- Age Insurance Field Office in Greenwood, emphasizes. “In my contacts with business and industrial workers in Green wood and the adjoining 6 counties served by my office, I have found that there is a general belief a- mong the majority of them that when they reach age 65 they will be compelled to retire from work to receive a lump-sum benefit payment,” Miss Pressly said. “Under the present terms of the Social Security Act, a worker re tires from covered employment in order to receive the monthly re tirement benefits which will be paid beginning in 1942.

Topsoiling of the Prescott Road on the camp side of Horn Creek is well under way. Construction of the Key Road is proceeding at a satisfactory rate. Saturday, April 16th, Camp F-ll is to meet the camp at Anderson in a minature Olympiad. All kinds of races up to and including 220 yards will be staged as well as potato, sack, and three-legged races. These will be followed by several boxing bouts, a tug of war, horse shoe pitching and as a fi nale, a baseball game will be staged. The public has been ex tended an invitation to witness these events at Cater Park, at whi^h time Company No. 4487 will hold open house.
