PIEDMONT H. D. C.
Piedmont HDC met at the Club
house Monday September 27. Mrs. J
Thomas Hardin and Mrs. Grady
Holtzclaw were newly enrolled in
the club at this meeting, making
a tota of 16 members present. We
are proud to have them join us.
The meeting was called to order
by our President, Mrs. Gober Coch
ran, the devotional was read by
Mrs. A. L. Hardin, Psalms 136: 1
—9. Song—“ School Days” was ren
dered by our singing group and
then Mrsr. Herbert Andrews recit
ed the Poem “Book Houses”.
Mrs. J. F. Woffordr, sec.-Treas.,
called the roll, each member ans
wering by naming a Book of the
Bible”.
After the business was discussed
and disposed of, the meeting was
turned over to Mrs. Bannister, who
put on a very interesting' demon
stratlon this month, the Art of
making artistic wooden trays and
plates. This handicraft is one that
is easily done and not too expen
sive, also very lovely and decor
ative. We enjoyed the demonstrat
ion very much and many of us
will try out our skill on this Art
in the near future.
Mrs. Herbert Andrews and Mrs.
Billie Hughes were hostesses and
served delicious refreshments dur
ing the social hour.
An added feature this month was
a scrambled-word game conducted
by Mrs. A. L. Hardin. It’s fun, but
the solution is harder than you’d
think.
It wasc decided and voted that
Piedmont Club would sponsor a
Cake walk on Saturday night, Oct.,
23 at the Clubhouse. Everybody
come out and enjoy the fun. Be
seeing you next month.

God’s Segregation
, Laws
Jesus said, “Him that cometh un
to me I will in no wise cast you
out” Jesus healed the rich and the
poor; he kept company with the
publicans and sinners as well as
with the Jewish religous leaders.
The Jews and the Samaritans had
no dealings, one with the other.
The Jews who lived in Galille
would not even travel through Sa
maria when they attended the Jew
ish feast down in Jerusalem. They
would cross the river, up near the
Sea of Galille and travel down east
of the Jordan through the country
of Parea and then cross near Jeri
cho and go on up to Jerusalem.
Jesus went through Samaria sev
eral times. One of the most beaut!
ful stories in the Bible is the story
of Jesus and the woman at the
well.. There was no idea of segre
gation in the mind of Jesus based
on race or color. Jesus did tea h
that there will be a complete and
final segregation-and eternal se
paration. So many scriptures teach
the kind of segregation that is
brought on by each
titude toward God. Matt. 3
shall it be in the end of the world
the angels shall come forth and
sever the wicked among the right
eous ” Another verse “He that hath
the son hath life,, he that hath hot
the son of God hath not life. I
, . cc. 12. The believers shall
not perish but have everlasting
life” In eternity believers and un
believers; the saved and unsaved
till be segregated. The redeemed
ones have etrnal life. tho«j i who ~
iected the love of God ,n C .
jesus will be eternally lost. This
kind of segregation is very <
Ttev taught in the Bible. T*e ,inda
vidual has the right of choice; his
rhoice determines his destiny.
\ve are naturally more congenial
with certain individuals and group
than with other individuals and
groups; but as a Christian we must
not hate any person or persons but
look upon them as individuals for
whom Christ died.
There is not going to be a Heav
e„ for the rich and another lor tte
noor; or a Heaven for the white
man and another heaven for the
black man. There are no such
teachings in the scriptures. Jesus
Sd "By this shall all men know
‘that’ye are my disciples if ye have
love one to another. John 13. 35.

(City Population 2,500)
ASC NEWS
Farmers in Forsyth County, es
pecially those who plan to plant
wheat this fall, shoud be partial
ary careful not to overplant their
allotment since the cross-complian
ce provision is in effect on all
farms in 1955. This not only is
true of wheat but cotton and all
other alloted crops. If the allot
ment is exceeded on any allotment
crop the cross-compliance provis
ion makes this farm ineligible to
receive ACP assistance in any
form. Since this County haa such
a low wheat allotment every farm
er should consider the meaning of
cross-compliance before exceeding
their wheat allotment or cotton al
lot men t.* Each farm in Forsyth
County is eligible to plant 15 acres
of wheat without being penalized.
However if they overplant their
allotment they will not be eligible
for price support and will not be
eligible to participate in the ACP
Program at all.
Those farmers who have received
purchase orders for 1955 material
and who overplant their allotment
will have to be automaticaly paced
on the Debt Register for the
amount of the materia furnished
to them on purchase order.
Since we are having many in
quiries in regard to 1955 cotton
allotments, we are told work will
begin within the next , two weeks
in establishing cotton allotments
for the farms with a history basis.
It will not be known when applica
tions for new growers can be ac
cepted until sometime after the
i history allotments are established,
j Community Committee Election
i Meetings will be held in each com
munity on October 13, 1954 and
we are anxious to have a large
number of farmers participate in
this election.
Home Freezing Of
Beef Recommended
By HDA, Here.
Record numbers of beef cattle
are going to market this fall, mak
ing it a good time for the thrifty
housewife to buy beef in quanti
ties and put it in her freezer, Mrs.
Zelma R. Bannister, HDA said this
fweek.
“Proper wrapping of meats for
freezing is extremely important,”
Mrs. Bannister stated. “It is second
in importance only to maintaining
a low temperature during storage.
Wrapping material should be mois
ture—vapor and grease-proof; odor
less; tasteless; non corosive and
flexible.”
The home demonstration agent
recommended .0015 guage foil
which comes in kitchen size rolls.
If handled correctly, she said it
may be reused for freezing. Other
material which she said may be
used for wrapping meats for freez
ing include the laminated papers,
pliofilm, and cellophane. If cello
phane is used an outer wrap of
bucher’s paper will be necessary,
Mrs. Bannister pointed out.
“Whatever material is used, skill
in wrapping is important,” she con
tinued. “The pacages must be made
as nearly airtight as possible to
prevent air pockets.”
Other necessary steps in wrap
ping meats fro freezing which Mrs.
Bannister recommended are: Label
meats so that they may be found
easily; be sure the label gives the
kinnd of meat, name of cut, and
amount in the package; for easy
identification use tages of different
colors for different meats; package
together enough meats for one
meal, and separate each piece of
meat with two layers of paper.

tural Extension Service bulletin,

ailable in Mrs. Bannister’s office

HOW WET CAN WE GET?
How wet can we get? The U. S.
Department of Commerce reports
that the people of this country
spent $9,885,000,000 for alcoholic
beverages in 1953. Or, to put it
another way, last ear’s consumpt
ion of liquor, wine and beer was
more than 3,000,000,000 gallons—
-46 gallons per capita for the coun
try’s estimated 64,000,000 drinkers
Beer consumption alone reached a
new high of 2,666,000,000 gallons.
Package beer sale for home use in
creased 93,000,000 gallons. The liq
uor interests spent $260,000,000 for
advertising in 1953.
Well, how are we doing? There
was an increase in male alcoholics
of 4,000 over 1950, and 20,000 fe
males. This would indicate that the
beer, wine and liquor Interests are
making real progress in the de
struction of the American home.
Women are becoming alcoholics
four times faster than men. They
know that they will get the men if
they get the women.
But look at some morer figures.
Bars and taverns showed a sub
stantial increase in 1953 over 1952.
Remember the pious promises of
the advocates of legal liquor that
there would never be a return to
the saloon?
Consider the above facts In the
light of the recent statement of
Mr. Edgar Hoover that 1954 will
be the banner year for crime in
the United States.
And consider the statement a
few days ago of Miss Ira Jarrell,
Superintendent of Schools in At
lanta, that beer is being sold to
school children.
How wet can we get?
While we are worrying about a
lot of other things, important as
they are, we had better begin wor
rying a little about this menace of
drunkenness.
I do not find a chapter in all
history of any nation that set out
to drink itself sober that did not
wind up in the graveyard of nat
ions. If anyone can cite me a page
of history that shows where any
drunken nation made the grade,
I’ll appreciate it.
Add to the astounding figures at
the outset • of this column the
amount of bootleg liquor consumed
in 1953, and you’ll have something
to look at. Bootlegging has steadily
inncreased since the repeal of the
18th Amendment.
How wet can we get?
Maybe the advocates of beer,
wine and liquor will venture an
answer.

With Your County
Agent
Walter H. Rucker
Many of our commercial egg
producers are facing their first win
ter in this new enterprise. Our egg
markets in this area are not yet
fully developed and consequently
we are receiving the prices or the
services that are desired..
The following are some tips and
suggestions that is hoped to make
your first winter somewhat more
pleasant and profitable.
High production is the only way
to produce eggs cheaply.
To hold fall and winter product
ion at a high level, managemen|t
changes are necessary.
Turn lights on layers by 4:00 in
the morning, or give them at least
14 hours of daylight.
Check the amount of light your
hens are getting. One Watt per 3
Square feet of floor space is the
minimum. Another way to figure
this is to use a 100 watt bulb for i
each 300 sqare feet of floor space.
Don’t hang lights too high; 6 1-2 1
feet from the floor is a safe dis
tance. Reflectors are necessary.
Check your supply of oyster
shell and grit each day. Keep them (
in separate containers. Hens gen i
erally eat more of their grit in the
morning, and their oyster shell in
the afternoon. At these times, one
should stir these materials.
October will bring cool weather.
Before frost, the North, East, and
West sides of the laying house
should be closed up. Don’t wait un J
til the birds take cold to close the!
house. j
1 fCeep layers out of a fall molt |
by increasing the mash intake.
Start pellets if your feed man ad
vises it. This may not be necessary
if crumbles are being fed.
It is not a good idea to feed wet
mash, unless the flock is sick and
this is the only way to get feed in
the birds. Wet mash will spoil if
not cleaned up.
Cheap eggs make it essential to
keep the flock culled close. A cull
probaby eats up the profit of two
or more good layers.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The State Patrol will be here in
Cumming at the Court House on

Sharon Church Serviced
By Kate Kay Harris
Stand still, and consider the won
drous works of God.—Job 37 14.
If I could speak to this whole
busy, frustrated world I would sky
to everyone, “Stop! now look about
you, forget yourself and think
about the wonderful, beautiful
world we live in and the One who
made al lof it.”
When God spoke to Job in the
whirlwind and caused him to for
get himself, his self pity and con
sider all the wonders of the world
and the great God who put the
stars into the sky and who laid the
foundations of the earth and put
everything on it, Job really saw a
•new light as he thought of the
rain, hail, snow, light and darkness
annd all the insects, birds and ani
mals. Then when Job quit trying
to figure out everything for Him
self and trusted God to know best
for him, God accepted his worship
and made him well again, restored
his property, gave him another
family and let him live an even
happier fuller life than ever before.
We had a sad but warm and
sentimental service last Sunday as
our long standing, faithful pastor
has resigned as our pastor and
brought his last message from
Matthew 3: 13—17. using verse 17
asc his text—“and lo a voice from
heaven, saying, This is my beloved
Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
,1 truly believe God can look
down on Brother Nalley and say
these words at the close of his
pastoral work at Sharon. His first
call as a pastor was at Sharon in
1918, 36 years ago. Serving twice
here he has pastored this church
about 14 years in all. Words can
never express what Sev. Nalley has
meant to Sharon and still means
for hjs works here will forever
live on in our lives. He has been
as a true Shepherd that God sent
to lead the fold of sheep and
lambs. His leadership in the build
ing of our church could never be
surpassed, as he donned his work
clothes and worked right along
keeping peace that not every pas
tor could have kept in a task like
that was. Then he has been right
with us in every undertaking and
has won the love of the flock of
little children that will never be
forgotten. *1
Rev. Nalley closed his sermbft
with the true words from II Tim
othy 4: 6—7 “For I am now ready
to be offered, and the time of my
departure is at hand. I have fought
a good fight, I have finished my
course, I have kept the faith”.
These were heartbreaking words
and we don’t want Rev.
departure to be final because we
want -him to come back and be
with us every chance he gets. We
need his encouragement as he can
always smile even when trouble
knocks at his door as we all would
like to be able to do. He has been
an inspiration to our lives in our
homes as well as in the church
and we will always have the wel
come mat out for him. Our sincer
est prayers follow Bro. Nalley in
whatever he undertakes.
On Rev. Nalley’s resignation, we
have elected Rev. C. E. Warren as
our new pastor. We want to urge
everyone to come to church and
make a new determination to work
with him as our leader and I be
lieve Rev. Nalley would want us to
give him even better cooperation
than we ever gave him. A pastor
cannot be successful with a church
within himself, so let us all come
together with a prayer in our
hearts putting Christ first in every
thing and help Rev. Warren to
make us a good pastor. God appre
elates good and faithful church
members just as much as He ap
preciates a good pastor, so we had
better wake up and realize that we
have a job to do instead of finding
fault with others.
