“WHATSOEVER
THINGS”
By DONALD E. WILDMON
I went to church the othe,
mommy. It was a pretty day.
The sun was shining, there was
(dear skies and good traveling
conditions. Admittedly it was
15 degrees above at the time.
I got to the church a litth
early to light the heaters.
Someone had beaten me to it
and the church was nice and
warm. I waited until starting
time, and then a little after.
The fellow who lit the heaters
came and brought his six-year-
(dd son. We waited until 15
minutes past starting time and
no one (dse showed. We left as
I had another appointment to
Sunday.
This may not mean anything
to you, but it says something
to me. It says that a basketball
game is considered more wor
thy of our presence than a
church worship service. And it
also says, at least to me, that
we consider a basketball game
of more importance than a
church worship service.
I think it is long past time
when we take a serious look at
our church membership vows
again. The majority of us lied.
We didn’t live up to our vows.
We didn’t even give them a
serious try. But that isn’t the

Five nights later it was a
nasty night. It was snowing
heavily and sleet was mixing
with the snow. It was very cold
and very wet outside. There
were dangerous driving condi
tions on the highways. It was,
in general, a had night to he
out. But I decided to venture
out for just a short time.
I went to the local gym where
a basketball tournament was in
progress to talk with the foot-
liall coach for just a few mom
ents. On the way to the gym
1 kept thinking that, they had
probably called the basketball
games off due to the weather.
1 figured it would he the only
sensible thing to do. And even
if they did play the games I
figured only a handful would
turn out to watch the games
in such nasty weather. I was
wrong. The action was going
full speed and the house was
jammed. One of the first per
sons I saw at the game was
one of the church members that
had been absent the previous

We don’t approach Captain
Drake, hut did not a Clarendon
farmer harvest 198 bushels of
corn about 20 years ago? Oi
am I in error?
Says the article on Clarendon
corn in 19<>7:
"High populations of corn
this year produced an average
of 125 bushels of corn an acre
for Richard F. Felder Son,
Dickie, of Summerton. Some
of the corn produced as high
as 150 bushels an acre. His 45
acres of early corn averaged

Corn harvested with the 2-
row combine was hauled into
storage bins using wagons
made in Clarendon county.
Storing the corn crop this year,
according to Felder, should
pay off in higher prices after
harvest is completed. The one
change which Felder feels hi
will make for 19f>8 is to lower
the plant population to only
20,000 for his early corn.
serious part. Not at all.
The serious part is that we
continue to lie. We keep our
names in that church roll for
years and continue to call our
selves members .Yet we seldom
attend, if ever. And if the
church gets a dime of our mon
ey it costs them a dollar to
get it.
It seems as though we could
at least be honest about the
matter. We could take our
church membership vows ser
ious. Or we could take our
names off the church roll. One
thing is for certain, if we don’t
do one we will continue to tell
that lie .
If we were’nt going to take
our vows serious, we would take
our names off the roll. By do
ing this we would at least be
honest and not a hypocrite.
And merely having our name
on the roll isn’t going to fool
anyone—especially Him.
One other thing about the
hall game. If you got in you
paid their price. Maybe the
Church could learn something
from that. It could he that the
church is letting folks in on half
fare—maybe less. I can’t rem
ember the Carpenter passing
out free passes. Just crosses.
Discrimination
not allowed in
VA house sales
New safeguards to assure
nondiscrimination in the sale of
homes ; epossed by Veterans
Administration became effective
this month, according to Will
iam J. Driver, Administrator of
Veterans Affairs.
All sales brokers who receive
listings from the VA art* now
asked to certify or recertify
that they in no manner discrim
inate in the sale or rental of VA
properties. This was the first
general certification since 1922,
and covers all sales brokers who
have entered the program since
that date.
Brokers who refuse the certi
fication receive no more listings.
Brokers enteiing the VA pro
gram for the first time are now
! equiri d to file nondiscrimin
ation certification before they
receive any listings.
Another move requires prop
erty management brokers to
file semiannual certifications
of nondiscrimination. These for-
meily were required only once
a year.
Still another change provides
that all offers submitted for the
purchase of VA properties b '
held for three days after public
listings a.' a safeguard against
possible preferential treatment,
before acceptance of the offer
which is most advantageous to
the (iovernment.
Several new requirements are
involved in the advertising of
\ A properties. The metal VA
"For Sale" signs used at the
properties are being altered to
include tin' statements, "No
discrimination." and "Anyone
can buy."
All VA offices are now re
quired to include the following
