voted to recommend a special
session of the legislature be held
in October to deal with reap
portionment and Brantley said
Wednesday that his committee
can’t come up with a recom
mendation any earlier than Oc
tober and do it right.
Gov. Jimmy Carter had an
nounced that he planned to call
the session for July or August
but lately sent out letters to
members of the General Assem
blyasking their recommenda-
tions for a date.
In hiring the consultants,
Committee Chairman Bill Wil
liams of Gainesville told the
committee, “as you know, re
gardless of where you start—in
northwest Georgia, Southeast
Georgia or northeast Georgia—
it’s justlike stacking dominoes.”
Brantley said he is working
on his own plan for redistrict
ing the House.
“It’s real fascinating, some
times, to sit down and doodle
with it,” he said. His plan
would utilize 97 two-member
House districts.
“You doodle it into individual
districts, and we’ll doodle right
along with you,” replied Rep.
Bob Harrison of Jesup.

Farmers protest
their low take
KHJWTK (UPI) — Georgia
farmers—about 140 strong —
demonstrated at the state
Capitol Wednesday in protest
against low farm prices in
general and hog prices in
particular.
Some 40 counties were repre
sented, according to Darrell
Thompson of Claxton, a zone
supervisor for the national
Fanners’ Organization (NFO).
Lab didn't
make threat
on kidneys
AUSTIN, Tex. (UPI)—A UPI
dispatch carried last week
contained charges that Traven
ol Laboratories had threatened
to cut off artificial kidney
supplies which were keeping
two children of the H.V. Holt
family of Austin, Tex., alive
unless bills owed were paid.
Investigation discloses that
these charges are untrue.
Travenol Laboratories did not
threaten or even suggest that
these life-sustaining supplies
would be cut off because of
credit or for any other reason.
LUNCH AND A TRAIN RIDE
BIRMINGHAM, England
(UPl)—City Councilman James
Eames had lunch with Queen
Elizabeth Wednesday when she
visited Birmingham. Then he
quickly changed out of the
formal clothes and into his
uniform as a British rail
engineer and guided the royal
train back to London.
up new political districts for the
state’s 10 congressmen and Sen
ate and House members, based
on results of the 1970 federal
census. Presumably, a special
session would wrestle with all
three of the politically touchy
problems.
Thompson said farmers have
been receiving only 15 to 15%
cents a pound for hogs that cost
them 18 cents to produce.
“We can’t survive on it,”
Thompson said, “and if we can’t
survive a lot of other people are
not going to survive.”
Many of the farmers were
joined by their wives in the
demonstration. They carried
picket signs reading “Fight Pov
erty, Adopt a Farmer” and
“Old MacDonald had a Farm,
and Went Broke.”
The NFO organization three
years ago slaughtered and buri
ed hogs in protest of prices but
Thompson said that this can
not be used again.
“That was a mistake,”
Thompson said. “There’ll be no
more of that.”
Gov. Jimmy Carter personally
greeted the farmers on the Cap
itol grounds.
Thompson said they told Car
ter “we need help” and Carter
answered, “I know it. That’s the
reason I ran for governor.”
Thompson told newsmen that
the NFO is trying to help the
family farmer and to keep the
big corporations from taking
over all the land. He said that
less than 5 per cent of the pop
ulation is living on farms right
now and “that’s a small per
centage to be feeding the na
tion.”
The farm leader said Wednes
day’s picketing was intended as
a peaceful demonstration.
“We are not trying to cause
trouble, but we are in trouble,”
Thompson said.
Tips for preachers
K By LOUIS CASSELS
$: UPI Religion Writer
Since consumers are having their say in
all fields these days, it may be in order for
:•:• a veteran sermon-listener to offer a few
:■( suggestions to preachers.
The first is simply a reiteration of what
every good seminary has been trying to
teach students for years. Alas, too many
freachers seem to forget it after they gain
access to a pulpit.
Don’t preach too long. Twelve to 15
minutes is a sufficient length for sermons.
Twenty minutes is the absolute maximum.
Any good that may be accomplished in the
early stages of a marathon sermon is
dissipated by the rising irritation of the
captive audience when a preacher drones
£ on and on.
The second piece of advice is closely
g related to the first: Get right to the point.
■:j Don’t beat around the bush with long
winded introductory remarks. Don’t
digress into irrelevant drolleries. Don’t try
to impress your listeners with your erudi
tion by quoting copiously from the
Scriptures or vogue theologians.
When you make your point, stop—even if
you’ve been preaching only five minutes.
J: Anti-climax is even deadlier in speaking
than in writing.

Maternity leave
for stewardesses
Pregnant stewardesses, even
unmarried, will no longer be
dismissed but will be granted
maternity leave, National
Airlines announced.
A spokesman said the airline
would grant maternity leave to
any stewardess, providing she
returns to work within 80 days
after the birth of her child. If
the woman’s doctor disap
proves, she may remain on
maternity leave a maximum of
six months.

Suggestion number three: Always use the
language of the people you’re addressing—
not the (to them) exotic language of
theology. People who are familiar with the
Bible, or who read a lot of religious books,
can communicate with each other in a kind
of jargon that is utterly baffling to most
laymen.
The fourth suggestion is: Don’t try to
water down the Gospel to make it easier
for your listeners to believe and accept. If
you soft-pedal the supernatural aspects of
the Christian faith because you think
“modern” minds may find them
incredible, you will drive people to seek
elsewhere —either in another church or in
some weird “occult” practice— for a
transrational dimension of existence.
Finally, remember that a sermon should
appeal to the heart and will as well as to
the mind. The most that rational argument
can do is remove invalid prejudices
against religious truth. The leap of faith—
the decision to risk one’s life on the
possibility that Jesus really is the way
takes place at a deeper level of the human
personality than logic alone can reach.
Thus a good sermon is not just an
argument or a moral lecture or a sales
talk, but a challenge, an invitation, a dare
and a promise.
