“What shall I render unto the Lord for all His benefits?" (Psalms 116:12).
Every man of earnest and serious mind must ask himself this question as he meditates
■ on the goodness and the Grace of God toward him. We want to do what is right in our
every association with God and man. The Government takes as its proper share at least
twenty per cent of every man’s income. WHAT IF GOD SHOULD REACH DOWN
INTO YOUR LIFE AND MINE AND TAKE WHAT REALLY BELONGS TO
HIM? How much would be left for us? Have you raised com? Or did you and God
work together in making the com crop? And just which of you put more time and
energy into the process? Have you “struck” oil? Who spent centuries creating the oil and
holding it in the underground lake until you came along? Is the oil really all yours?
What is God’s share? YOU AND GOD ARE PARTNERS IN THE OIL BUSINESS;
WHAT IS HIS PORTION?
Jesus Christ is our revelation of the generosity of God who has been the eternal!
Giver, enriching us with every sort of good thing. From the day of the first creation God t
has been at work with and for man. Each of us represents in his body and in his soul
the everlasting toil of God, who truly wants to make us His children and who desires;
us to join Him in making an ever better world for His sons and daughters to live in.!
JESUS IS OUR PATTERN OF WHAT A MAN CAN GIVE TO HELP IN THE
PURPOSE OF GOD. HOW MUCH DID JESUS GIVE BACK TO GOD?
Jewish and Christian people have agreed that we ought to give at least a tenth 1
of our income to God and His Church for the carrying on of His redemptive program.'
A tenth will not necessarily discharge all our debt, but/it will show a sense of deep grat-
itude. Everything is His, even the cattle of a thousand hills and the abundant harvest1
from the fields. He gives us everything which makes life abundant Our ideal is to join
in the prayer, “Take my life and let it be consecrated, Lord to Thee." Let’s be good
partners with God. Let us be His co-workers. MAY WE GLADLY GIVE BACK TO
HIM AT LEAST A TENTH OF WHAT HE SO FREELY GIVES US." )

The States Dig Deeper
This is legislative year for 46 of the 48 states, Kentucky
and Virginia being the only exceptions. In 12 of those states,
the Tax Foundation reports, the governors asked for new
taxes, and in 29 they asked for boosts in existing taxes. In
all parts of the country, the state levies are going up on
property, corporations, individual incomes, gasoline, and so
on down the list.
In the fiscal year which will end this coming June, the
state will collect over $12,000,000,000—more than double the
1946 figure. The total for the next fiscal year will be sub-
stantially greater.
These are matter of fact. And they add up to one thing
—that we must demand economy on the local level as well
as in Washington, D. C. The moderate tax reductions made
by the federal government last year are being largely offset
by mushrooming local taxes.

Several hundred parents have
already taken advantage of the
spring lull in bureau activities by
requesting and receiving certified
copies of birth records for their
children, Carroll says
The first one came in on March
24 from Mr. and Mrs. Alvin M.
KiKng of Port Lavaca. Their son
is due to enter the first grade
in September. They wanted to
make sure they could prove he
is six.
“All we need is the child’s
name and date and place of birth,
and the mother’s maiden name
and the name of the father,” Car-
roll said. That informaiton, to-
gether with the statutory fee of
fifty cents, will buy anyone a
copy of their certificate — pro-
vided the bureau has the cer-
tificate on file.
There’s just one more thing:
if you don’t want to write to
Austin, check with your local
registrar. Chances are he can
supply the record for you.
In either case, do it soon. That
fall bind can aet mighty tieht.

Thus, the knowledge gained will be used in the future to
bring us more oil.
The oil industry is in a constant state of change and de-
velopment. Research and experiment are endless. They
must be, if our insatiable appetites for oil are to be met,
and it, at the same time, our known reserves are to be kept
at the proper levels.
Most people are partial to
months of late summer and fall.
But not State Health Department
birth record keepers.
To the staff of the department’s
Bureau of Vital Statistics, Aug-
ust through October is the rough-
est time of the year.
The reason: parents who know
their children must have birth
certificates before they can enter
school for the first time but who
put off making requests for cer-
tified copies until the last minute.
Last year bureau personnel
processed more than 40,000 re- records — some dating back to
quests during those three months, early 1903 — are on file.
For a limited staff, that means
hours of night and weekend work
without overtime pay.
Bureau personnel shudder
when they think of the estimated
227,000 kids who will be eligible
to enter the first grade in Sep-
tember.
Many of them have copies of
birth records already and will
create no problem. Others live
in areas where local school
boards do not require proof of
age before admitting the child to
the hallowed halls of learning.
But the majority don’t have
certified proof of age, despite the
fact that they live in areas where
school officials insist on such
It’s this category that
gives bureau statisticians and
clerks sleepless nights.
Says Bureau Director W. D.
Carroll: “We’re ready to give
immediate service to applications
which come in before the fall
rush.”
Carroll, a long-time veteran of
vital statistics work, directs the
affairs of the bureau where more

Good Year For Retailing
Retailing enjoyed a good year in 1954, due largely to
the bunsiness pick-up that took place in the second half.
Volume was not far below the all-time high.
This near record business—believe it or not—was done
at a profit so small that, if it had not existed at all, the gain
to the consumer would have been exceedingly small.
A report covering a large number of department and
specialty stores scattered around the country tells the story.
Their 1954 net profits after taxes amounted to 2.1 per cent
of their net sales. >And this was not at all unusual. In 1953,
the net was 2.2 per cent.
In other words, almost 98 per cent of the money we
spent with these stores went right out again for stocks,
wages, taxes, rents, advertising, and all the other overhead
costs which are an inescapable part of carrying on a retail
business. And some stores dealing in staples commonly re-
port profits of as little as one per cent on each sales dollar.
This is the result of one thing only—open competition
in a free market, in which the merchant who does the best
■iob gets the trade. In that kind of a market, no one has a
monopoly of anything and no one can profiteer. It is a
market which makes for maximum quality as minimum
price. It is one of our greatest material blessings.
Low Depths And New Heights
A short time ago the world’s deepest oil well
abandoned. 1----------
days of drilling and testing,
000. The reason ----
no oil.
On the face of it, that well was
heavy cost in money and effort.
But there’s another side to the coin. As the American
Petroleum Institute put it, “This may be called an
of sinking to low depths to reach new heights.”

Re-Insurance Is A Subsidy
The health re-insurance proposal is again before Con-
gress, and it may be acted upon this session. Under it, the
concerns issuing health insurance could broaden their cov-
erage, and government would insure them against possible
losses.
The proposal has many sincere supporters. But the
public, which must pay all the government’s commitments,
should understand and weigh the objections to it. .
First of all, this is one more government subsidy and
what government subsidies it eventually controls. That s
one of the way socialism gets started, even though the peo-
ple back of the original measure have no such desire or
intention.
Second, no one can tell how much outlay of the ta -
payers’ money might be involved if the plan were to work
on any appreciable scale. Health insurance as now con-
stituted is a highly competitive business. The underwriters
must give as much as possible for the money if they are to
sell their policies. All re-insurance could do would be to
encourage the issuance of policies which are economically
UnS°Third, the growth of voluntary health insurance as we
know it has been literally amazing. Well over a hundred
million people have one or more kinds of coverage,
benefits have been increased and the-provisions liberalized.
