state on “Worst Enemy’’ over At
lanta’s WLW—A, Channel It, Sun
day afternoon, June 12, 1:45 to 2
o’clock.
“Worst Enemy” is a weekly fire
safety television program offered
as a public service under the joint
sponsorship of WLW—A and Safe
ty Fire "Commissioner Zack D.
Cravey.
Wigggins, who will be interview

as a legislator and now as Gov
ernor Griffin’s executive secretary.
His home is at Toccoa.
SOME THOUGHTS?
If I knew that 1 was flying and
1 wanted to tell my loved ones the
one thing that I longed for them
to do. I would say, be faithful to
The Lord Jesus Christ and his
Church! His Church is simply the
group of his followers working to
gether to carry out his commands.
The Church is not perfect but its
founder is perfect and he estab
lished his church -to carry on his
work on earth. Thaat was his plan
and I know that we should follow
his plan— When the church is
wrong just help get it rigTi by fol
lowing closely the teachings of The
Lord Jesus Christ. We must seek
first the Kingdom of God and his
righteousness.
I have hanging on the wall of
my study, printed and framed, two
statements written by my father.
The first lew paragraphs were
written about ten years before his
death (March 15, 1928); he died in
July 1938. This was found in an
old ledger that he used when he
was a merchant.
Another statement was -written
by him on March 13, 1929. At the
top of the page he had a title:
SOME THOUGHTS
You desire very much earthly
gain. How are you using what you
have? We are vesponsible for all
our ideals. Your greatest wealth
is spiritual, not temporal, heavenly,
not earthly; Read Johna 1 to find
out what is true prosperity and
good success. We read a good deal
but why do we neglect so much
thereading of our Father’s word?
This is our real life. I want you
to make all you can honorably.
Don’t forget to love your Lord
and Master. Talk to Him often.
Find out what He wants you to do
and gladly do it. I can’t leave you
much of this world’s goods but I
want my life to point you and
lead you to Him who has riches
untold, unlimited for all. Read
PhiL 4: 9. God bless you and your
children. Teach them the most im
portant life to live. Read Dent. 6:
4—9.
These pencil marks will fade
away but may the truth be In
delible on each sheet.
PAPA.
I have quoted the last statement
he made in writing addressed to
us. This is a sacred piece of writ
ing to me. He poured out his heart
to us. I want to love the Master
and His church as much as my
father did. Just give our best to
The Master.

SHEARING SHEEP
We sheared sheep at our hose
last week —a total of three. And it
was something to remember. I
guess sheep-shearmg time has al
ways'been something to remember
for the folks who love this gentle
section of the animal kingdom. We
read about it in the Bible. My
neighbor who sheared them for me
last year couldn’t do it this year—
his shears being m Chicago for
repair, with no word of when they
would ever come back. So, he ar
ranged with Dr. Warren of the
University of Georgia to shear his
sheep, and kindly referred him ‘on
to 1011 Oakdale Road.
V /
I didn’t know Dr. Warren, but
we were soon hitting it off pretty
well. He is a Micigander, down
here helping Georgians to revive
the sheep industry. And he likes
Georgia I am glad to report.
It amazes me the way a man,
who knows how, can shear a sheep.
Catching them, and getting them
into the right position, is about all
I can do in the transaction. J
doubt if I would ever be able to
handle those last-moving blades
without cutting the poor sheep in
to shreds.
But the man who knows how,
as Dr. Warren certainly does, just
takes over, all by himself, and
there it rolls off in beautiful fluffs,
and never a word from the sheep.
Indeed, it looks as if the sheep
is the least nervous member of
the party. I always want to hold
the wool, but the shearer yells
me to keep hands off. Then I
want to help by holding the legs
of the animal, but he shakes his
head again. “Just let me handle
it, please,” he will say.
How he keeps from cutting the
sheep to peices is more than I
can figure out. They tell me that
if you take hold of the wool, it
wrinkles the skin. Okay.
There was one week-old lamb,
and when we got that mother, she
pat up some fight. She didn't want
to leave her baby, and the baby
was in full agreement that it was
no time to be taking her mamma
away from her.
“If that fussy little girl only
stopped to think,” said Dr. War
ren, “she would be thanking me
that I am making it easier for her
to get her supper.”
The sheep seem very grateful
that we did, at long last, get to
that heavy blanket of wool. They
are enjoying their summer attire
these hot days.
BY ANY YARDSTICK GEORGIA
IS MOVING UP
ATLANTA (GPS) Citing impres
sive statistics tending to show
Georgia has been the U. S. pace
maker in economic growth since
1945, former Gov. Herman Tal
madge told the National Associat
ion of Transportation Advertising's
annual convention at Sea Island
that Georgia is well on the way
toward becoming the nation’s most
prosperous state. Said he:
"By any yardstick you wish to
use to measure economic growth,
Georgia is on the march. The peo
ple of Georgia are determined to
realize their proper high destiny
in the sisterhood of states."

GERMAN AND GEORGIAN
4-H GET TOGETHER
A German 4-H Club boy Hein
rich Becker is visiting in the home
of Gerald Nix, Cleveland. In the
United States as an International
Farm Youth Exchange delegate,
the German 4-H’er is particularly
interested in observing community
youth programs. He and Gerald
attended the Nortk Georgia 4-H
Club forestry camp at the State
4-H Club Center at Rock Eagle,

Yes, The Co-operative
Program Is Scriptural
TEACHING.
The third rail in the Co-oper
ative Program fence is teaching.
We try to teach our church mem
bers and their children in the Sun
day school, the Baptist Training
Union, our Baptist colleges, semi
naries, and missionary training
schools. We have nearly thirty col
leges, four Baptist seminaries, and
two missionary training schools.
Are we following the Scriptures in
this teaching program? Let us see:
%
1. Jesus was the Great Teacher.
Forty-five times in the Gospels he
is called Teacher, many times The
Teacher. See John 3: 2; Matthew
5: 2; 7: 29; 9: 35; 11:
etc. He says, “Follow me.’’ We
are trying to do so in our teach
ing program.
2. The twelve and Paul used
teaching as one of their principal
methods of winning people to
Christ. See Acts 4: 2, 18; 5: 21,
25, 28, 42; 11: 26; 15: 35; 18: 11,
25; 20 : 20 : 28 : 31.
3. Teaching is to follow evange
lism and missions. "Go make
disciples ... baptizing them
teaaching them to observe all
things whatsoever I commanded
you” (Mat 28: 19, 20). Are not
these Scriptures convincing? The
churches are commanded to teach
(Mat. 28 : 20). We are command
ed' to study that we may know
how to handle the word (2 Tim.
2: 15). God once winked at ignor
ance but it is no longer so, and
he now commands men to repent
(Acts 17: 30). Repent of what?
Of their ignorance about him .and
truth. Surely none can know his
Word and claim that there is no
Scripture for our teaching minis
try!
.P. S. This is the Third and the
Fourt will follow next week.
ASC NEWS
The referendum to determine
whether or not the marketing quo
ta program will be In operation
for the 1956 wheat crop will be
held June 25.
- A. C. Bagwell, Chairman of the
Forsyth County Agricultural Stab
ilization and Conservation Com
mittee, advises that arrangements
for holding the referendum are
now being made. Polling places
will be established in convenient
locations in the county, and wheat
growers wiH be notified where they
may vote.
Each grower, in advance of the
referendum, also will be advised
of his farm’s 1956 wheat acreage
allotment and will receive a leaflet
explaining program operations.
Farm allotments will be based on
a national wheat acreage allotment
of 55 million acres, the same as
this year.
Chairman C. A. Bagwell, explains
that If the vote Is favorable, the
program will be In operation for
the 1956 wheat crop, and price sup
port for the crop in the commer
cial wheat area—depending on the
supply situation—will probally be
between 75 and 82 percent of par
ity. The support level will be an-
nounced by the Secretary of Agri
culture before the referendum. A
farmer who exceeds his farm
wheat allotment or 15 acres, which
ever is larger, will be subject to a
marketing penalty equal to 45 per
cent of parity on the excess pro
duction.
If the vote is unfavorable, the
support will be 50 percent of par
ity. In either case, only the wheat
from farms where acreage allot
ments is not exceeded will be eli
gible for price support.
Chairman C. A. Bagwell points
out that at least two-thirds of
those farmers voting must favor
the quotas if the program is to
be in operation for the 1956 wheat
crop. If more than one-third vote
"no” the wheat marketing quota
program will not be in operation
for the 1956 crop.
In a similar referendum held a
year ago, the national vote was
close, 208,623 for and 76,023 against I
—a favorable vote of 74.3 percent)
compared with the necessary 66 2-3
percent. In Georgia the vote was
441 for and 32 against.
