OFFICIAL ORGAN OF FORSYTH COUNTY Si CITY OF CUMMING DEVOIED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF FORSYTH, FULTON, CHERO Hl£E, DAWSON, LUMPKIN, HALL AND GWINNETT COUNTIES. (City Population 2,500) Today & Tomorrow Louie D. Newton ONE CHRISTIAN » At lunch with Bishop Arthur J. • Moore a few days ago, the subject of evangelism in these pre-Easter j days came up. Bishop Moore told > this story: While pastor of the First Meth- ( odist Church, Birmingham, a maid-' en school teacher came to me and said that she was gping to do her best to win some lost soul to the Saviour. She spent the afternoons, after; school hours, visiting lost people, I urging them to consider the call to salvation —to repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. I heard how she was going from one to another, quietly speaking to them about this vital matter. I prayed that she might be blessed j in winning one soul to the Saviour.; Came the day of our pre-Easter ] meeting, and this lady brought. 391 adults to my study, asking me tto hear their statement that they had repented of their sins, and were ready to make public their pro fession of faith in Jesus Christ. Listening tto that story by Bish op Moore, I thought of the woman of Sychar who went back to her village to tell the people what Je sus had done for her, and how the whole village came to Jacob’s well to see and hear the Saviour. And I thought of Andrew, going and finding his brother, Simon, and bringing him to Jesus. Then the thought, Why do we not win more dost people to the Saviour? You will agree wwith the ready answers—too busy, to timid, etc. etc. But such excuses will not stand. None of us, in our better moments would say that they should stand. We have cherished neighbors, all about us, who have given no evi dence of having accepted the Sav iour. Why do we pass them by? If they were in need of physical help, we would be at their side. Their need of the Saviour is ten times more real than any physical need. And still we allow the passing tasks of everyday life to excuse us from this primary responsibility of winning the lost to the Saviour. Let us be encouraged by the story Bishop Moore tells of the Birmingham teacher, and devote ourselves with unceasing energy in these important days at hand and ahead. ASC NEWS Purchase orders are being issued for fertilizer, lime and seeds at the Forsyth County ASC Committee Office for farmers who have sign ed an intention sheet to carry out a practice during 1955. All seeds furnished on purchase order will have to have a purity and germi nation teest on file from the ven dor who plans to fill the order. Any farmer who has filed a re quest for practice No. B-7 should contact the County Health Depart ment and request that the area where the farm pond is to be built be inspected. This is a necessity in order for the Health Permit to be issued when the farm pond is completed. All farmers are urged to read the specifications that are enclosed with their notice of apprroval and in carrying out the practice refer to ’ the specifications in order to carry out the practice in a manner where it will qualify. Wheat measurement will be com pleted during the week of March 21, and the number of farmers who have planted in excess of their al lotment is far more than in prev ious years due to the extremely small allotment Forsyth County re ceived for 1955. The farmers have 15 days from the date the notice is mailed to request a recheck but it will hawe to be rechecked at the farmers expense. If any farm has more than 15 acres planted they will be penalized if they do not have more than 15 acres allot ment. Cumming Georgia, Thursday, March 24, 1955. HEART DRIVE EXCEEDS GOAL The 1955 Heart Fund Drive in Forsyth County has exceeded its goal by $324.83, it was announced by A. C. Smith Jr., Chairman of the Drive. A total of $838.83 was raised on a goal of $514.00. “If all other counties do as well”, A. C. Smith Jr. stated, “The out standinng work of the Georgia Heart Association is assured for the coming year. I want to take this opportunity to thank all the volunteers who gave so generously of their time, and to express our appreciation to all those who con tributed to > the success of this drive. I would especially like to thank the nice ladies of this Coun ty fpr baking cakes and helping in their community to make this drive successful. Also 1 to the Forsyth County News for their fin assist ance. “In my opinion”, A. C. Smith Jr. added, "The outstanding results of this effort represent another civic atttainment in which we may all take pride.” Telephone Service Almost Normal Here At Cumming Local and long distance telephone service in Cumming is being pro vided at almost normal levels ex cept for peak periods during the day, despite the fact that many Southern Bell telephone employees are still out on strike, according to L. H. Collins Manager for Sou thern Bell Telephone Company. Mr. Collins also reported that telephone service for Georgia and the other eight states served by Southern Bell continued good and that nearly half of the company’s employees are continuing to report for dutyy with a slight increase nearly yevery ,day. Four-fifths of the normal long distance business is being handled over the South as a whole. With 85 per cent of the com pany’s telephone dial operated, dial service remains unaffected. Being dial operated local service in Cumming has remained normal. Mr. Collins said that he wished to thank -the people of Cumming for their ppatience and understand Ing concerning the current diffi culties in providing telephone ser vice. He also stated he wished for everyone to know that employees still on the job are making every sacrifice to give the fullest and hest service possible. “Negotiations are still going on in Atlanta between company and union representatives with the as sistance to Federal Conciliators.” Mr. Collins stated. We are hopeful that agreement will be reached soon. However, we must have as surance in the contract that the union will live up to its provisions and agree to settle differences peacefully without interruption of telephone service while the con tract is in force.

This meeting will be Friday night March 25 at 7:30, at the Community Club House. All who arc interested are urged to attend. With y our County Agent Walter 11. Rucker At a cotton production meeting in Gainesville on the 16th of this month the all important opic of j cotton allotments was brought up annd discussion was lively. In accordance with the present j formula used for issuing cotton | acreages to the various counties, the county’s history, or the amount j of cotton planted in the county! during the past few years deter- j mines the number of acres of cot-| ton that a county will be allowed I to plant. History is a most Important fac tor. Each acre of allotment issued to a producer that is not planted is not only lost to that producer but it is lost to the county and state as well. i Forsyth County has a cotton al- j lotment in 1954 of 4,289 acres. Pro* ducers were asked to releaase all I allotments or portions of allotment that were not going to be used. Even then, 1827 acres of cotton! allotments in Forsyth County were not planted. For 1955, Forsyth County was ggiven'only 3,096 Acres in cotton allotments. Producers again this year have the privilege of releasing those allotments or portions of allotmehtt that they are not going to plant. Producers releasing their cotton al lotments will still retain their cot ton allotment history yfor their farm if they plant some cotton at least one out of every three years. A producer does not retain that history for his farm if he neither plants it nor releases it to the County ASC committee. Acreages released are reapporri ioned tb other producers who have requested either additional acreag es fc new growers allotments. So far, the requests for additional acreages and new growers allot ments far exceeds the acreages released. It is to the advantage of the producer and his county -to make sure that every acre allotted is planted, whether he plants it him self or releases it to enable his neighbor to plant it. April Ist is the deadline to re lease your allotment to the County ASC Committee. It is advisable that each producer seriously con sider and decide whether or not he is going to plant all of his al lotment for 1955. t Soil Conservation New* Forsyth County The last eight columns have brought to you informaation on the eight classes of land. As you remember the first four classes of land are those that can be row cropped with degrees of destriction The last four classes of land should never be row-cropped. They can be used to the best advantage in wood land, pasture, hay and recreation. How are you using the various classes of land on your farm? If you are not sure, check with your local SCS technician. Those who have a complete soil and water conservation farm plan have a map of the farm in the plan that shows the different classes of land. TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC It has come tto our attention that people are fishing in the flood prevention lake near Pleasant Grove Methodist Church and other flood prevention lakes. Under Federal Regulations this lake and the other lakes are not open to the public for fishing at this time. Those who have fished in this lake or any of the flood prevention lakes have violated such Federal Regulations and are sub ject to such penalities that cover such violations. If and when fishing is opened to the public, permission will be grant j ed by land owners of these lakes. I For further information see James T. Coots or John C. Cates of the local Soil Conservation Ser vice, Cumming, Georgia. In producing a bale of cotton, the plants on one acre will take up 325 pounds of plant food from the soil. \ County Population 15,000.

Sharon Church Service* By Kate Kay Harris Go Ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every crea ture Mark 16:15 We enjoyed a wonderful week of services in our Study Course, last week. Rev. Paul Carmichael, pastor of Fair Oaks Church at Marietta taught the course on “A Church Revival," and I’m sure that all who attended these services really felt revived in the heart and soul. Our total attendance was 75 of which a great majority completed the course and will receive credit. We can now plainly see that the greatest need for Churches the world over Is a real CHURCH Re vival which means those who are already saved and belong to the church. We need to get all mem bers revived and interested in going to church and serving Christ in complete love and fellowship with each other, then we will be pre pared and reaftly to lead the lost to repentance and a real God sent Revival of old time religion. I truly believe that if everyone would draw together in regular Sunday School and Church attend ance, remove all malice and mis understandings from our hearts, God would send us a good revival and we could enjoy serving Him so much more. Our blessings would not stop at the church either. They would spread out through our daily lives and everything would turn out better for us. We took our Church Census last week which will be a help to more work in increasing our attendance and to know more about what we have to do. The ladies had a rood attend ance and meeting In W. M. U. on Saturday afternoon, on the “Home Mission” day, making a good of fering for Home Missions. We got a good picture of the work of one of the first Missionaries in our Sunday School lesson on Sunday as we studied about Paul and his preaching from house to house. Our pastor, Rev. C. E. Warren, brought a wonderful message on Sunday A. M. from John 13: 1-17 on the subject, “If Ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them”. He stressed the fact that the equation for a happy life comes from knowing things plus putting them into practice. Continuing in the book of John on Sunday night, Rev. Warren is preaching about the time just be fore Christ crucifiction and is lead ing up to that and the Resurrect ion sermon which will come on Easter Sunday. We shouldn’t want to miss any of these sermons as the story of Jesus is always so sweet no matter how many times we hear it.
