Staff member Fred Brown
learned Saturday thut good Sa
maritans still exist in our world
today. Between Butler and Ho
ward on highway 96, Fred had
a flat tire. After finding his
jack would not fit, he hitched
a ride into Butler. Upon re
turning to his car with another
jack, Fred found his tire had al
ready been changed. The old
tire and jack had been placed
in the boot so everything was
under control again.
Fred was somewhat stunned
when he learned three days
later that his daddy had come
along and changed the tire for
him.
It is good to know that we
still have thoughtful fathers,
those that make good Samari
tans.
And brickbats to you folks
who sling brickbats at The News

THE CALL TO REPENTANCE
Bible Material - Ezekiel
1:1, 2:3-5, 18:1-4, 30:32
Text Ezekiel 18:30
The history of Israel has been
one of Rebellion Against God.
Manasseh, King of Judah,
caused the people to sin when
he built temples and altars to
pagan gods. The worship of pa
gan gods was linked with the
worship of the True God. But
through it all the voice of the
Prophets cried out for the
people to turn from this evil
to the God of Their Fathers. The
warning went unheeded and soon
God’s promised judgment came.
We find a nation torn apart
and the people carried away into
captivity.
Much in the same manner that
God called Exekiel to a re
bellious and stiff-hearted
people, he still calls his
ministers today. The time is
much later by some 2,500 years,
but the situation is much the
same.
God’s message of repentance
was to Individuals. That one
generation must suffer for the
sins of the other was not in
God’s plan. The soul of the
father and the son belong toGod.
'Dairy Groups
Unite To 'Aid
With Marketing
Georgia milk producers are
going to get more help in
marketing through a combi
nation of efforts of a new organi
zation and an already existing
one.
John Conner, Extension dairy
marketing specialist, Univer
sity of Georgia College of
Agriculture, said this will be
the result of a contract be
tween the new Agricultural
Commodity Commission for
Milk and Georgia Milk Produ
cers, Inc,
The commodity commission
gives the producers a setup for
raising money in orderly
fashion from their own ranks.
The commission has contracted
with the existing producers as
sociation to handle the work
of helping dairy farmers wilh
their marketing. This will allow
the association to expand the
efforts it has already been mak
ing in this line, explained Don
ald S. Conkey, executive direc
tor of Georgia Milk Producers,
Inc., and administrator of the
contract.
Under terms of the contract,
Georgia Milk Producers will
direct its program along
several lines. It will inform
producers of the merits of a
strong organization and on the
marketing program available to
them, keep them informed on
legislative programs and the ef
fects they will have on the dairy
business and furnish infor
mation on product promotion.
Jesse Jackson of Quitman is
chairman of the Commodity
Commission for Milk for 1962—
63. A dairyman for about 17
years, Mr. Jackson is one of
the founders of the South
Georgia Dairy Cooperative,
known as Dairyco.
Oher members of the ACCM
are Joe Shropshire, Carters-
ville, immediate past-presi
dent; Barry Biggers, Keysville;
George E. Hatcher, Jr., Macon;
Truett K. Putnam, Fairburn;
Phil Campbell, commissioner
of agriculture; Dr. Harry Brown
president, Georgia Farm Bu
reau; Eugene Cook, ‘state
attorney general, and E.
Thrasher, Jr., state auditor.
The soul that sinneth it shall
die.
The warning has been
sounded; The judgment pro
nounced. Vengence is mine
saith the Lord. For why will
you die, O House of Israel,
the cry goes out to all people.
The judgment is upon all people.
But so is the promise of life.
For God sent not his son into
the world to condemn the world.
But that the world through him
might be saved. John 3:17
Q. How does the production
of meat in Russia and the United
States compare? Recently 1
read where there was a 30
percent increase in retail meat
prices in Russia.
A. The production of beef
in the United States is about
triple beef production in Russia.
Farmers here produce nearly
twice as much pork as do Rus
sian farmers. Last year, 29
billion pounds of meat were pro
duced in the UnitedStates. Per
capital consumption of meat in
the United States averages 160
pounds per year compared with
68 pounds in Russia. The aver
age American eats nearly 100
pounds more meat per year than
does the average Russian. You
might be interested in the fact
that the average production
worker here works only 16
minutes to by a pound of
round steak and only 13 minutes
for a pound of ground beef. In
the United States beef is not
only in good supply but it is
a good buy, also.
Q, Do most breakfast cereals
cost about the same?
A. No, the cost per serv
ing (one ounce) for cereal va
ries from about one cent to
more than four cents. To com
pare costs of your favorite
breakfast cereals, divide the
number of ounces in a pack
age into the cost per box.
The following statement by
Colonel Mike Y. Hendrix, State
Director, Selective Service
System of Georgia, pertaining to
the problem of late registration
service to the young men of
Georgia:
‘‘The continuing Selective
Service problem of late re
gistration has become more
evident within the past two
months. It is my desire to
avoid delinquency in every pe-
pect and particularly that
caused by failure to register at
the proper time.
‘‘The Universal Military
Training and Service Act, as
amended, requires every male
citizen to be registered with
a local board upon attaining
the age of 18 or within five
days thereafter. Failure to
register as required could
result in the early induction of
the offender with his papers
marked Delinquent, or he could
be reported to the UnitedStates
Attorney for prosecution. This
is a serious matter and I urge
all parents, teachers, and young
men affected, as well as others
of the citizenry to help me to
eliminate all delinquency re
sulting from late registration.
"Registration maybe accom
plished at any local board.
Therefore, one should not wait
until he returns to his home to
register. A word of caution
when registering outside of your
home county - inform the re
gistrar of your permanent home
address for such information
will establish your local board
of jurisdiction and it can not be
changed. A local board is lo
cated in each county<)f Georgia.
Also, there are 4,000 local
boards throughout the United
Staes, Puerto Rico, Virgin Is
lands, Panama Canal Zone, and
Guam.
"Many school officials are
cooperating in this matter by
reporting the names of students
and former students who have
reached age 18 to the Selective
Service local board. Such in
formation is very valuable for it
affords the local board an op
portunity to contact thsoe who
portunity to contact those who
have reached age 18 and have
failed to register. Under such
circumstances, it becomes
necessary sometimes for the
local board to solicit the aid of
the FBI through The United
States Attorney to accomplish
a registration. However, I
sincerely hope that such action
can be avoided.
"Although some young men
have been misinformed that
members of the National Guard
or Reserve are not required to
be registered, such member
ship does not prevent the local
board declaring the young man a
delinquent for being late in re
gistering.
“I am certain that most of
our delinquency stems from a
lack of knowledge of the re
quirements, but it is a shame
for a young man who is other
wise completely law-abiding to
have a delinquency lable placed
upon him because of careless
ness. There are some who will
fully refuse to do what is re
quired of them under the Uni
versal Military Training and
Service Act, as amended. We
know how to deal with them.

Shell dealers suggest
7 things to tell your son when he
first borrows the family car
1 Don’t take other drivers for granted.
They sometimes do unexpected things.
In the U.S. in 1960, they ran into station
ary objects more than 150,000 times.
So don’t be too optimistic. Cars backing
out of parking spaces do sometimes back
out blindly. Cars coming from the other
direction might swing into your lane—es
pecially on hills and curves.
Your best protection is to drive defen
sively. The only driver you can really be
sure of is yourself.
2 If the car won’t start, there are a num
ber of simple things worth trying. Use
the starter in short bursts. Press accelerator
to the floor once, then hold it there while
you try starter.
With manual shift, keep clutch pedal
all the way down. With automatic trans
mission, jiggle lever to make sure it’s in
neutral.
Note from Shell: We recently published
an advertisement with 7 simple starting
tips. For a free copy, write to the Shell Oil
Company, PO. Box 272, New York 46, N.Y.
3 Courtesy is contagious—and adds to
everyone's driving pleasure and safety.
Nobody ever cured a traffic jam by losing
his temper. If you can keep your sense of
humor and wait your turn, everyone will
probably get where he’s going sooner. In
cluding you.
Another suggestion: It takes only sec
onds to let someone enter the roadway
ahead of you, but it can save the other
driver minutes. Just remember to signal
the car behind that you’re slowing down or
about to stop.
4 Cars respond to good care. Have the
oil, battery and water checked every
time you stop for gasoline.
When you’re driving, listen for unusual
mechanical sounds. If you hear one, have
it checked right away. It could save a big
repair bill later on.
On rough roads, take it easy—tires are
tough, but they are destructible.
Note: For a free copy of Shell’s 12-page
booklet, “44 ways to make your car last
longer,” write to the Shell Oil Company,
E 6. Box 272, New York 46, N. Y.
Many a young man first borrows tbe family car for a summer dance. On this page, your
local Shell dealers offer some driving tips that can be useful to him all his life.
5 Remember what you learned to get
your driver’s license, and you’ll be a
better driver. Eight out of ten car accidents
stem from improper driving practices —
such as speeding, failing to yield right-of-
way and following other cars too closely.
Truck drivers and other professionals
have verv few of these accidents—mile for
mile, about one-quarter as many as other
drivers. The professionals know the rules
of good driving—and obey them.
6 If you’re going to be late, call h6me.
And if car trouble is the reason, call
the nearest service station, too.
Park off the traffic lanes and wait in the
car until help arrives—with the hood up to
show you’re disabled. Making repairs close
to a busy road can be dangerous.
Note from Shell: Over 12,000 of our
dealers go to special training schools each
year. There, they learn how to spot trouble
in a hurry. A Shell dealer can be helpful
to you in almost any emergency.
7 Have a good time. So far, almost
everything you’ve heard about cars
has to do with safety.
Now you're about to find out what a
pleasure they can be. Here are the keys.
Just take your responsibilities in stride.
And have fun.
Comforting fact for parents: Drivers
with less than three months’ experience ac
count for very few serious accidents. That’s
a good sign that most new drivers do take
their responsibilities seriously. So you can
relax.
