There Is Good News Tonight!
More Teachers
For Ga.’s Children
There i* good newt tonight!
Georgia’s efforts to provide enough school teachers for
our children are paying off at last.
The State Department of Education calls the outlook
for an adequate teaching staff “brighter than ever.” It
pointed out the other day that colleges and universities
in the state are preparing 900 more teachers now than
they were at the same time last year. The department ex
pect* 3,963 new teachers to enter Georgia classrooms be
tween September of 1967 and August of 1965.
Ted R. Owens, who is in charge of the department’s
teacher certification program, said that many teachers from
out of state have asked for certification to teach in Georgia
school* next year. Because of them and new teacher* grad
uating, he think* that Georgia will have no problem staff
ing it* tchool* in the fall and will be far ahead of many
state* in this respect. Doesn’t that sound great for a
changel
Os those enrolled in teacher education course* in Geor
gia college* and universities, 1,507 will earn degrees in
elementary education, 2,196 in secondary (high school)
education, and 259 in ungraded area* such a* library
science and special education.
Georgia has worked hard to reach this point. We have
improved both teacher pay and teaching conditions. We
have begun to accord classroom teachers the community
respect, prestige and appreciation which they deserve.
We have come a long way up the stream of education,
but we cannot rest on our oar* or we’ll wash back down
it again.
Flower Power
In Russia
A little free enterprise can be a dangerous thing, as the
bureaucrat* who have their thumb* on every aspect of
Russia’s economy are beginning to learn.
Because of “a severe flower shortage” in 1966, say* the
New York Times, the Moscow city council issued a decree
permitting private vendors to sell them. The shortage was
overcome, and now government-operated florists are
complaining about the competition.
Their major beef is that the private vendors are able to
lower their prices when their flowers begin to wilt, while
the official chain* “are tied to our price* like a goat to a
stake.”
The sweet smell of success in the flower experiment ha*
even moved some Soviet economist* to suggest that not
only this “goat” but others be untied—that with consumer
goods, at least, price-fixing be abandoned and that quality
and demand be allowed to govern the market.
How’s that for flower power?
♦ Guest Editorial*
Drive Against
Obscene Literature
THOMASTON FREE PRESS
The concern for a clean-up of th* literature in this com
munity seem* to be picking up a little steam.
Last week Judge John H. McGehee took the lead by
calling attention to literature offered on the new* itand*.
And the Grand Jury caught the ball and carried it a few
more yard* by calling on the public to become concerned
and involved in a campaign against objectionable litera
ture.
At least one local business took the cue and tossed out
all magazines because the distributor refused to allow him
to censor out those magazines he could not, in good con
science, allow to be sold.
Others are talking and still more are listening.
Results are definitely in the offing.

Listening to talk around town, it sounds like lots of
people will vote for the presidential candidate they dis
like the least instead of for the one they like the best.

“Hold it! I think I know
the root of your trouble —
you’re too well-informed!”
MY
answer®
Can’t Be Sure
I have been a Christian for
many years, bat I am concern
ed because a* far as I know, I
have never directly led a per
son to Christ. I am a teacher in
Sunday School, and perhaps my
gifta are along this line, rather
than personal work. L.F.
If you have taught the Gospel
of Christ through the years, how
can you be sure you have never
led a person to Christ. You can
not know the Impressions you
have made upon your class, and
the Indirect influence you have
had for Him. If you are a true
servant of Christ, I dare say
your life has been fruitful, thou
gh you may not be aware of it.
Three thousand people were
'added to the church on the day
of Pentecost. Peter preached the
sermon, but backing him up
were 120 people filled with the
Spirit of God. Could one really
say that these were all Peter’s
converts ? In reality, they were
God’s, as are all true converts.
Paul wrote to the Corinthians
saying, “I have planted, Apol
10s watered, but God gave the
increase.” Regardless of the hu
man instrument, it is God who
gives the increase. You have fai
thfully taught the Word, and
your pastor has preached it, but
if any have been brought to
Christ, it is the work of God
through you and your pastor.
Os course I believe we all
should be more outspoken for
Christ, and bear witness for
Him. But, sometimes an indirect
witness is as fruitful as the dir
ect. The main thing for you to
do is to be faithful in the circle
of responsibility where the Lord
has put you.

WORLD ALMANAC
FACTS
Although Benjamin
Franklin was this country’s
first high-level diplomatic
representative abroad, he
was not our first ambas
sador, The World Almanac
says. That title was first
given, according to State
Department record*, to
Thomas Francis Bayard,
who was sent •to Great
Britain in March, 1893, as
ambassador extraordinary
and plenipotentiary. Frank
lin was sent to Franc* In
September, 1778, with the
title of minister plenipo
tentiary.
