Forsyth County
Executive Committee
Meeting Called
A meeting of the Porsyth County
Executive Committee is being called
for Saturday June 12, 1954 at 2 p. m.
at the Justice of Peace Room in the
Court House here in Cuniming.
Business of importance to discuss
and every member is urged to at
tend.
A. E. Bramblett, Chairman.
With y our County
Agent
Walter H. Bucker
Due to tthe unusually cool weath
er, much cotton has had to be re
planted, particularly in this part of
north Georgia, ad most of the re
maining cotton is late. Therefore,
everything possible should be done
that will help protect existing stands
and help cotton to start growing vig
orously.
For the above rea&ns, Dr. C. R.
Jordan, Extension Entomologist, this
week is making a blanket recom
mendation to fanners in north Geor
gia to treat their cotton for the con
trol of thrips and other insects that
might be present.
Fields in north Georgia that were
inspected recently showed moderate
to heavy thrips damage and some
fields had fairly heavy infestations
of aphids (plant lice).
Dr.* Jordan suggests that farmers
treat immediately if their cotton has
been up for some time or as soon as
replanted cotton is up to a stand.
For thrips, use 7 to 10 pounds of
3 percent BHC per acre, 7 to 10
pounds of 20 percent toxaphene, 7
to 10 pounds of 2 1-2 percent aldrin,
7 to 10 pounds of 11-2 percent dield
rin, or 7 to 10 pounds of 2 1-2 per
cent heptachlor as a dust or spray
or endrin as a spray. Fieljfc should
be checked to see if pphids (plant
lice) are present, and, if so, use a
dust or spray containing BHC which
will control both thrips and aphids.
The above mentioned insecticides
will also control boll weevils, flea
hopers and flee beetles if present
Early season applications for the
control of thrips, aphids and other
in sectts should be applied at 7to 10
day intervals. Two to four applicat
ions are usually necessary during
the pre-square stage for complete
protection from thrips and early
son insects.

Sharon Church Service*
By Kate Kay Harris
Thp Lord thy God shall bless thee
irvall thy works, and in all that thou
puttest thine hannd unto —Deuter-
onomy 15: 10.
Isn’t this a wonderful promles?
Of course it is meant only for Christ
ians who try to do the right kind of
works for our Lord. If we try to fol
low Him and do His will we will be
blessed in our daily work that we
have to carry on, as well as our
church work.
W)e should all get a good lesson
from the life of Amo* who we Stud
ied about in Sunday School last Sun
day. God called Amos from his
fields to go preach and warn the
people in Bethel, Israel and in spite
of all the threats and dangers, he
kept doing what God told him to
do. A lot of us want to ge scared,
give up and quit when we run up
against a little obstacle but should
ignore the talk about us and other
hindrances and look to God for the
strength and guidance and go right
on doing His will and biddings.
We were very happy to welcome
Rev. P. W. Tribble back with us on
Sunday. He is a former Sharon Pas
tor and has done som uch for our
church and has a very warm place
in all our hearts. Rev. Tribble re
vives all of our spiritual feelings
each time he preaches because he
lives so close to God and preaches
with such divine, earnest spirit.
On Sunday morning Rev. Tribble
preached a very heart warming ser
mon about “Some of the Greatest
Things Written in God’s Word.”
He assured us that it takes deep
digging into the depths of the Word
to find the most precious treasures
such as: Love, Mercy, Goodness, and
Jesus’ Salvation. Then after we’re
saved we find that wonderful pro
mise, “I’ll never leave nor forsake
thee”, and in the Good Word we find
aboSt, God’s election, God’s protect
ing power, along with the Dangers
that Christians Come across. He ex
plained that if we go to cHurch and
be fed by the milk and meat of Gods
word, we can overcome all the dan
gers. Then another thing we find is
that we can commune with God
daily and how sweet it is to know
that we can open up our hearts to
one who understands better than
anyone on earth and we can trust
Him to understand and help us thru
everything. We must also try to DO
the will of God which we can also
find by studying His Word.
Then the greatest thing of all that
we find in The Book of all Books is
the promise of our Eternal Home.
To see this wonderful man, who has
endured so much, ttalk about that
Eternal Home is enough to make
any of us want to go there. It is so
sweet to know that after all these
worldly cares are over we can all
meet where there will be nomore
toil annd strife.
We had a very good lesson in B. T.
U. on Sunday night about, “Justified
By Faith”. It is our faith that justi
fies our hope in Christ and we had
several good discussions that helps
IChristians to discover the way in
which their justification by faith
can give them inner peace for confi
dent daily living.
After B. T. U. Rev. Tribble
brought us another wonderful mes
sage on “Duty". He pointed out how
we should find our duty and put our
whole life into it so that in the end
we can hear our Master say, "Well
done, you have done your duty.’
We want Rev. Triibble and his
good wife to know that the doors of
Sharon are open to them and we are
always glad to have them any time.
Everybody are requested to meet
at Sharon next Saturday, June 12,
to clean off the Cemetery. It will be
an all day working and the ladies
will spread lunch at the noon hour.
We hope everyone can come and
show our respect for those gone on,
i by cleaning the weeds from their
j gjteves.

‘Slow Down - Live*
Drive Gets Off To
Good Start In Georgia
Atlanta—lf the “Slow Down and
Live!” campaign continues at the
pace it started off in Georgia a lot
of Lives should be saved on our high
ways during the summertime travel
months. At least, that’s indicated in
the first Reports from the Georgia
State Patrol since the program re

traffic death picture for the first
weekend after safety leaflets were
distributed over the state in connect
ion with the special safety campaign
For the period from 6 p. m. May 28
through midnight May 31 only sev
en traffic deaths were reported.
This compares with eleven in the
same period a year ago, a decrease
of four, or a 36 per cent drop. Rural
deaths declined 40 per cent.
The 1954 summertime highway
safety program, sponsored in Geor
gia by the Georgia Citizens Council,
is being conducted in 24 Southern
and Northeastern*states. It will con
tinue through Labor Day, Septem

Boy* At Truett-McCon
nell Junior College
Honor Bro. Callaway
President Miller asked the Profes
sor of Chrisltianity to act as spon
sor of the Ministerial Afisociatibjhl
and also as Faculty Representative
at the Boys Dormitory during the
year.
, The Ministerial Association made
the best record in the history of col
lege in its preaching and witnessing
activities under the leadership of
President Miller and Rev. W. R. Cal
laway. There were 48 youth led Re
vivals (most of them weekend Re
vivals). There were 152 professions
of faith; 84 who gave themselves to
definite Christian work (preparing
for the Ministry; Missionaries etc);
over 1400 rededications to the Lord’s
service—almost 100 percent praise
comes from the various churches
where these services were held. Let
us thank God and take courage and
pray earnestly for our Baptist Col
lege at Cleveland, Georgia. Two of
these Youth-led Revivals were held
in Forsyth County, Eternity alone
will reveal the good done by these
meetings.
One of the most soul-strengthen
ing experiences I had during my
stay in the Boys Dormitory at the
Truett-McConnell Junior College
was when the boys who were chos
en to lead in these RevivbVt ’would
come into my room and we would
pray together for the leadership of
the Spirit of God—sometimes for
over a week before the services be
gan. Other groups would also have
their prayer meeting in preparation
for the services, then they would re
quest the prayers of all in our gen
eral Prayer Services in the Dormi
tory.
I shall always be thankful to God
for the privilege of teaching and liv
ing in the Dormitory at T. M. C.
The Boys gave me a beautiful suit
of clothes (with t>vo pair of pants).
* T shall wear that suit of clothes
with a prayer in my heart that God
will have Sim jiaoe, always, in the
hearts and lives of these boys and
that a heart-felt awakening may
sweep this country as a result of the
fires of evangelism kindled in their
hearts. May God bless each and
everyone. (

will no doubt prove very helpful to
many of us. Her cake was really de

easy to make. Also the sandwiches
which were very attractive to the
eye and therefore appealing to the

REMOVING RINGS LEFT BY

Using cleaning fluid to remove
Bpots often leaves a ring on the fa

you first allow the garment to dry
[thoroughly and then hold the area
with the ring on it over vapor from
a boiling kettle. This hint is frtwn
