Sunday School Lesson
BF RET. CHARLES E. DUNN
Pacing the Supreme Test 6f
Lesson for Today (June 12th).
14: 32-40.
Golden Text: Mark 14:36.
After the Last Supper Jesus re
tired with his disciples to Gethse-
ntane, a walled garden to the east
of the brook Kidron. There he
prayed in agony of spirit while his
weary disciples slept.
We are impressed by the loneli
ness of the Savior. “Alone he goes,
and none can go for him who
goes, unto the land which no one
knows.” Some one has said that
human experience cannot pass
beyond the Garden of Gethse-
mane. There Jesus faced the
profoundest, most tragic issues of
the human soul. There he ac
cepted the terrible ordeal of the
Cross which “stands,” as Dean
Sperry of Harvard says, “as an in
alienable pledge that earth hath
no sorrow which Christ hath not
shared.”
We do not wonder that Jesus
shrank from the exquisite agony
of Golgotha. He knew, to be sure,
it was coming. In his days of
temptation in the wilderness; at
the- wedding in Cana, when his
mother provoked him to think ol
his “hour”; on the occasion when
the crowd wished to make him
a king; on the Mount of Trans
figuration; when the mother of
James and John sought the high
est, most rewarding places of
honor for them; at these and
other times the Master foresaw
his approaching fate.
But it was perfectly natural for
him to fear this sacrifice with all
of the terror it involved. It was
“the baptism of his sorrow, the
cup of his agony,” as one com-
mentator well says. We can fully
sympathize with that poignant
cry, “O my Father, if it be possi
ble, let this cup pass from me.”
Uie was precious to him as it is
to every normal being. Death was
a cruel choice. And through all
those dark hours his disciples, up
on whom he leaned so heavily,
slumbered. Wistful for sympathet
ic companionship the Master
found it not. And at last the
soldiers come with their torches,
and the drama leading to Calvary
begins its relentless pace.
covered employment. Provision is
made for paying partial benefits
to workers who will have only
part-time employment.
Qualifications for Benefits
To qualify for benefits, a work
er’s record must show that he has
had at least 13 weeks of work in
covered” employment during the
52 wekes preceding his most recent
week of work. He must also be
mentally and physically able to
work, and available for work;
must register for work at a free
public employment office—and
accept suitable work if it is avail
able, thus canceling his claim for
benefits—and must serve a “wait
ing period” of at least two weeks.
An unemployed worker’s first ben
efits check would therefore follow
his third week of unemployment.
A worker will be disqualified for
benefits for one to nine weeks in
addition to the waiting period if
he leaves work voluntarily with
out good cause; if he is discharged
from work for misconduct, or for
failing to apply for, or accept,
suitable work.
A worker will also be disquali
fied for benefits for any week in
which it is found by the commis
sion this his total or partial un
employment is due to stoppage of
work which exists because of a
labor dispute.

Unemployment Insur
ance-Eligibility
I Requirements
Columbia, May 31.—Weekly un
employment insurance payments
to be made to persons out of work
beginning in July will not be as
large as regular wages but usually
they will be sufficient to tide them
over during the time ordinarily
needed to find new work, accord
ing to information received from
the South Carolina unemployment
compensation commission of Co
lumbia.
Weekly payments will amount
to one-half a worker’s average
weekly pay in his past covered
employment. No payment will be
over $15 and none smaller than $5,
or ttiree fourths the worker’s av
erage pay, whichever is less.
In other words, a worker who
will have earned an average of $20
a week will get weekly benefit
payments amounting to $10; those
who earned $30 a week will receive
$15, but if he earned $35 or $40 a
week, payments will not be over
$15.
During total unemployment a
worker may receive no more than
12 weekly payments on the basis
of one full year of covered em
ployment. The law also provides
that the number of weeks a work
er may receive benefits shall be in
relationship to his employment
record of additional years of past
(The fourth and final of this
series of articles on unemployment
insurance will follow next week.)

Miller Commended
For Loyal Service
Bennettsville, June 7.—At a well
attended meeting of the Marlboro
Educational society, held in the
courthouse today, E. P. Miller was
elected by acclamation to succeed
himself as secretary of the society.
Mr. Miller has held this position
with honor for the past 27 years,
and his fine service was com
mended in a resolution unani
mously passed. This society, es
tablished under a special act
many years ago, is in charge of
the schools here and elects the
trustees.
Mr. Miller, although he has
been state treasurer for the past
five years, has retained his citi
zenship i.i Bennettsville and con
tinues to be active in matters that
are of interest to the town and
couftty, especially the schools.
Mr. Miller, after graduating from
Wofford, came here as school
mperintendent, which place he
held for seme -years. Afterward he
went into banking, and was later
appointed chief bank examiner.
Jpon the resignation of Julian
Scarborough, he was appointed
state treasurer. He was re-elected
without opposition four years ago,
and has filled the place with hon
or and credit to himself and the
state.
He is a candidate for re-election
this summer, and at the recent
meeting of the county democratic
convention resolutions were u-
nanimously passed endorsing his
candidacy.

J. S. STROM
Main Street McCormick, 6. C.
Q. I am a young woman em
ployed as stenographer in a busi
ness firm and was recently
married. Should I get a new
Social Security account card?
A. No. You should write, or call
in person at my office and re
quest the simple form known as
“Employee’s Request for Change
in Records”. Since wage accounts
are kept in the name the worker
| gives the employer, individuals
who change their legal' names
should correct their records to
Insure accurate recording of their
wages.
Q. I am a married woman, but
I don’t want my employer to know
it because he might fire me. I
got my Social Security card under
my maiden name. Will the Social
Security Board tell my employer
£ am married?
A. No. Names given to the So
cial Security Board are kept
strictly confidential. The only
’information a wage-earner is re
quired to reveal to his or her em-
plcyer Is the number on the ac
count number card. It is very
important that correct names,
ages and other information neces
sary in the maintenance of the
wage-earner’s records must be
furnished the Board.
Q. When I applied for a Social;
Security account number I gave
my age wrong. I don’t want to
lose my old-age insurance bene
fits, but at the same time I don’t
want to be embarassed by having
people know my true age. What
must I do?
A. You should write, or call in
person at my office, and request
the simple form “Employee’s Re
quest for Change in Records.”
Wnile the Board will accept with
out question a new age declara
tion, the acceptance should not be
regarded as final since an em
ployee may be called upon to
furnish proof of age on filing a j
benefit claim. Your age will be
kept confidential.
Q. I lost my account number
card and don’t remember the
number. What should I do?
A. Apply in person or by mail
for a duplicate account number
card. Do not apply for a new
number.
Q. Will It take long to obtain
another account number card to
replace a lost one?
A. If you have a record of your
original number and can furnish
proper identification, you may ob
tain a duplicate card by return
mail, or in a few minutes upon
calling at my office. If you have
no record of your original number,
it will be necessary to check the
j records in the Wage Records Di
vision at Baltimore, which, of
course, will take a few days.

Camp Modoc News
Camp Modoc, June 4.—Con
struction on the Dordon Road
continues at a satisfactory rate,
in spite of the fact that rains
have continued in that section.
J Topsoiling of the Key Road,
north of Key Bridge, is also pro
gressing satisfactorily, although
we have had some difficulty in
locating topsoil which was suit
able for this road. However, some
has been located and is being put
down as rapidly as possible. One
of the box culverts to be installed
on. this road was completed dur
ing the current week.
Captain Harris, of the U. S.
Army Medical Corps, was with us
during the week and showed the
picture “Damaged Lives” for the
benefit of the enrollees. He made
a brief talk introducing the pic
ture which was intended to drive
home some very serious lessons.
Mr. Albert Smith, Jr., of the
Ranger’s office, was with us on
Wednesday and Thursday of thi.
week, doing acquisition exalmina-
tion work.
The seasonable rains have been
a big benefit to the flower plant
ings of this camp. It is hopec
that reasonable seasons may pre
vail in order that we may realize
the benefits intended by our flow
ers.
Last Sunday was the day t'
learn if the enrollees of F-ll had
been taught how to produce an
eatable “fryer”. Some forty cf
the “fryers” decorated the festive
board at Sunday dinner and it
was generally conceded that they
can really produce a palatable
product. We are strong for an
“encore”.

Nitrate For
High Oat Yield
Yield of Oats Greatly Increased
by Nitrate Fertilizer
By D. Austin Shelley, Assistant
County Agent.
Aiken, May 31.—That the yield
of oats is greatly and economically
increased by the application of a
larger-than-usual amount of ni
trate fertilizer was clearly shown
by the demonstration recently
conducted by B. W. Crosland,
Aiken. Mr. Crosland applied 20C
pounds of nitrate of soda on Feb
ruary 26, 1938, to one acre of Ful-
ghum oats. As a check plot, he
left an adjoining one-tenth acre
plot not fertilized. The acre plot
which had been fertilized with 200
pounds Nitrate of Soda produced
61.25 bushels, while the one-tenth
acre plot yielded at the rate of
only 27.2 bushels per acre. The
oats which had been fertilized
with Nitrate of Soda stooled con
siderably more than those receiv
ing no nitrate. There was quite
a striking difference in the plots
from the time of applying the
nitrate, while there was no ap
parent difference before that
time.
Each of these plots produced
cotton in 1936 and 1937, having
been fertilized with 600 pounds
8-3-3, 100 lbs. Nitrate of Soda, 100
lbs. Muriate of Potash and 3 tons
of barnyard manure per acre each
year.
At present prices, 200 lbs. or
$3.30 worth of Nitrate of Soda
would yield 34.05 bushels of oats,
(61.25 minus 27.2) value at $17.03.
This means $13.73 labor income
from the application of 200 lbs..
Nitrate of Soda to the acre of oats.
This demonstration was con
ducted through the cooperation of
H. E. Savely, State Educational
Manager, Chilean Nitrate Educa
tional Bureau, Columbia.
