This es say is by Carolyn Jean Lev- erette, eighth grade student, St. Peter Claver School, Ma con. Carolyn was winner in Croup II. The other two es says will be carried in a later issue. The early Christians should be our models in our effort to win souls for God. During the early days of Christianity even the pagans exclaimed in admiration, “See how they love one another.” It is my duty as a Catholic to help my neighbor to try to put love into cold, forgotten lives, hope into sill-laden souls and CAROLYN JEAN LEVERETTE faith into despairing hearts. We must daily live Christ- like lives, having compassion on sinners and remembering that their sinful and careless WARNER ROBINS—Sac red Heart Council of Warner Robins was host for the the Spring meeting of the Knights of Columbus State officers, Grand Knights and Financial Secretaries. State Deputy Hugh H. Gra dy of Savannah presided at the meeting held at the Sac red Heart School. Other State officers in attendance includ ed Chaplain Msgr. Thomas Sheehan, Macon, Past State Deputy William Jordan, At lanta, Secretary Joseph Zwicknagel, Decatur, Treas urer John Stiles, Brunswick, and Advocate Ray Dwomik, Albany. Miles Booth of Mari etta was appointed to the of fice of State Warden by the State Officers to fill the un expired term of Thomas J. Griffin of Marietta who re cently passed away. Grand Knight Peter O’ Malley of the host Council welcomed the 45 state offi cers and representatives of lives may not be their fault, but the fault of self-right eous Christians who fail to help them. Trying to win friends for Christ is often discouraging but the joy of bringing one sinner back to God is a re ward in itself. The enemies of God work day and night to sow hatred and strife. Should we be outdone in gen erosity by those who hate God? No, let us be watchful and kind and win by love and kindness souls for whom Christ laid down His life. If our motive is love of God and neighbor our zeal will be blessed. In this fast-moving, bewil dered world there is ample room for many to spread the word of God, who will bless us if we make but one con tribution, or one sacrifice for His glory. He has said, “Go teach all nations!” and He meant each and every one of us to do our part. This we can do if we are watchful in every way and seize each chance to do our share of all the hundreds of good causes that daily come our way. Visiting the sick, helping the elderly, minding a baby, so that a mother can go to Mass, receiving the sacraments daily, and by try ing to set a good example. Wicked men are experts in spreading their evil deeds and should we who are chil dren of God, who possess Eternal Truth fail to share it with our less fortunate brethren. It takes so little to satisfy our good God. A smile for an enemy, a kind work for a forgotten creature, a helping hand to the over burdened mother means love in any language. Try it and your life will take on a new meaning. the K. of C. councils from Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, Macon, Columbus, Albany, Brunswick, Rome, Decatur, Marietta and Valdosta.

By GENE OWENS State News Editor Augusta Chronicle Research at the Albert Gary farm near Appling shows that cows make nicer farm animals than bulls because bulls are rougher. Compiled by a team of as tute agricultural experts from the first grade at St. Mary’s On The Hill School in Augusta, here are some more of the findings: Cattle can be roughly divid ed into two categories — those who have horns and those who don’t have horns. Cows who have horns aren’t any meaner than those who don’t but they can hurt you more. Hornless cows are the best kind because the horns they got rid of make good playthings. Cattle can also be divided into two other categories — beef cattle and milk cows. Milk cows are named Bossie and are speckled and eat hay. They give milk and live to be milked another day. Beef cattle eat hay too, but they give steak and hambur gers and meat loaf. They us ually have to be killed before they’ll give it though. There is an advantage in this, because old cow skulls make nice play things, too —especially if there are girls around. Pigs would make nice horses if they didn’t throw you in the mud. Pigs with rings in their noses make the cleanest pigs because they can’t root in the mud. Being stuck in the mud isn’t as much fun as it looks, especially if you have to wear wet, muddy socks for the rest of the day. Rats are very intriguing ani mals—especially dead ones be cause they’re hard to find in a barn and you have to follow your nose. It’s lots of fun looking for a dead rat in a barn- especially if the barn is full of hay. The research tern functioned with the aid of several assist ants — mostly mothers, but including their teacher, Sister Mary Terrence. These assist ants drove them from Augusta to the Gary farm in seven auto mobiles, pulled them out of muddy pig pens, fed them lemonade and donuts, and at tended to sundry other minor but important functions. They were escorted around the farm by Mrs. Albert Gary, who knows the difference bet ween a beef cow and a milk cow and is in on various other little mysteries like why land race pigs have rings in their noses. The research team was car ried around on a flat-bed trail er pulled by a jeep. They ask ed a number of pointed ques tions, like “How do you get a cow’s horns off?” That was easy. You pull them off. ( This information was vol unteered by a Chronicle-Herald reporter who came along for the ride because his editor felt ex posure to a first grade class might be mentally stimulating). “Would you go get me a cow horn?” This request was made of a Chronicle, - Herald reporter, who ducked the issue by tell ing about how hunters used cow horns to call their dogs. “Are you a cow?” The thing that bothers you about these kids’ questions is that they’re so sincere. The answer: “Mool” “Where are your horns?” “Here’s one!” One of the agricultural experts had found an old cow horn apparently abandoned by its owner several months ago. He poked it into the reporter’s head at a jaunty angle. Someone else offered him a handful of hay. The scientists went armed with bundles of hay to entice the cows to the fence. A milk cow stood with admir able patience while they threw bundle after bundle in her face. She didn’t even twitch, even aft er her head was thoroughly cov ered with hay and the scientists were screaming at the top of their lungs. She must have been a mother at one time in her life. The beef cattle — white-face Herefords—were a little wary. One bull stood and pawed the earth. A very small female scientist dressed in a brilliant red outfit noticed it and retired to the rear. Lemonade and donuts were served back at the barn. Then someone discovered the dead rat. At least they got wind of its presence. Soon the barn was full of screaming researchers, ea ger for this choice scientific find. It was never quite clear whe ther they found it. But one of them found something equally important the skull of a cow. The whole group promptly gath ered around this choice item and passed it from one hand to the other. Then they boarded their auto mobiles and, with their assist ants in tow, headed back to St. Mary’s where they were expect ed to disseminate their know ledge throughout the school.
