ment, basic application of lime and
fertilizer, tree planting, wells, tank
pumping and irrigation facilities
and similar measures.
This program will not duplicate
any existing services. It will supple
I ment but will not be a substitute
[for private and cooperative credit.
Loans oannot be made for annu
ally recurring costs which are gen
erally considered as operating ex
penses. Neither can loans be made
to refinance existing debts.
Farmers may apply for these
loans at the local office of the
FHA. The local county committee

sibility of ruling upon the eligibi
lity of the applicants. Applications

Yet I .will reproice in the Lord, I
will joy in the God of my salvat
ion.—Habakkuk 3: 18
•V
These quiet fall days make us
feel the verse which says, “Be still
annd know that I am God.” We
can feel the presence of God as
we go about, gathering in and stor
ing the harvest that He has bless
ed us with and as we see the beau
tiful colors of the trees that no
earthly artiist could paint. It is al
so agood time of the year to ex
press our thanks by going to the
quiet Church services. God is so
good to us, how can we forsake
Him and forget to honor Him with
our best in His Service?
Even though my family and I
' visited in services at Lakewood
Heights Baptist Church last Sun
day morning, good services were
also enjoyed at Sharon. Rev. W. R.
Callaway was a welcome guest and
brought the morning message. We
hope he will visit us again soon.
We are beginning a new Church
year this month and we hope that
everyone will make a new deter
mination to do more and better
work for Christ. We had a wonder
ful Sunday School lesson last Sun
•day on Job. We find that even
though Job suffered the loss of
property, family and his health, he
still stayed faithful. We may have
to suffer many hardships but we
should remember that God might
be testing our faith and try to
stay faithful through everything.
Through October, the children
will be led to know God better
from a study of the Bible charact
ers, Job and Solomon We urge all
parents to bring your children to
Sunday School and get all these
good lessons. Don’t you remember
how you as a child longed to know
more about the Bible and God?
None of us know as much as we’d
like to about Him and the more
we learn and understand Him the
closer He seems in our lives..
C'uinmi’ g. Ford i? - j orm r pastor
of tru* church, rtev. Terry Prte a«
sisted in the song services.
All services were attended well
and interest was high at all times.
There were forty conversions; 31
additions to the church. 24 came
by baptism and seven by letter.
Rev. Nalley brought a wonderful
message on Sunday night about
“Hell and the Grave.” Reading sev
eral passages of Scripture he prov
ed the danger of so many who are
likely to enter the grave without
salvation and of so many who are
not proving their salvation by
their walks. Everyone should be
shown that there is a Hell which
is prepared for all the unbelievers.
The following new officers were
elected in B. T. U.
Director—Miss Grace Buice
Asst. Director—Miss Fannie Mae
Kay
Secretary—Mr. Dolphard Harris
Primary Leader—Mrs. Alice Hall
Junior Leader—Mrs. Kate Harris
Young People’s Leader—Mrs. Floy
Green
Chorister—Mr. Dallis Hall
Pianists—Lynette Harris, Lavon
Hall, Charlotte Fauscett.
The different departments also
reorganized and elected new offi
cers. We hope everyone will work
and pray for a better year in our
church work.

ASC NEWS
This is a personal appeal to the
farmers who have practices approv
ed on their farm for the 1954 pro
gram year and who, due to circum
stances beyond their control, are
not going to be able to carry these
practices out to release the amount
of obligated funds in order for
someone else to receive this assist
ance. It is mandatory that we re
gain the amount of money not us
ed in order to satisfy the needs of
the many requests on file in the
county ASC office.
May we remind you again that
October 13, 1954 is the date on
which Community Election Meet
ings will be held in all of Forsyth
County’s seven Communities. Any
eligible voter* should take the time
out to go to his Community Elect 1 -
ion Meeting and exercise the privi
ledge given to him to elect the
men of his choice for Community
Committeemen in 1955.
Our suggestions to all cotton
farmers in the county is tb make
sure they carry their marketing
cards to the cotton buyer and at
all times use every precaution to
prevent the loss of these cards. In
many Instances farmers have mis
placed their marketing card and
this loss has been a hinderance in
the selling of their cotton.
Any farmer in the county who
does not plan to seed his 1955
wheat acreage allotment may re
lease it back to the county office
in order for it to be utilized on the
other farms in the county. Since
the county allotment was so small
every acre not intended to be plant
ed should be released in order to
accomodate a large wheat growing
farm which has a small allotment.
