State Troopers Must
Be Big, Versatile
ATHENS, Ga. —• It takes more
than a uniform, military bearing,
and a patrol car to make a state
trooper.
It takes a big man, well-trained
in his job, who can handle all sorts
of people and situations from the
smooth looking blonde doing 85 to
a car load of drunks out for a joy
ride.
That is what 26 newcomers to
the Georgia State Patrol forces are
learning here this summer in the
intensive 17th Patrol School in ses
sion at the University of Georgia.
Completion of the rigorous 5-
week curriculum is on the must
list of things a patrolman must do
before he can become a full-fledged
trooper. The school is his chance
to become thoroughly acquainted
with his new job, one which he
learns will never be the same from
one day to the next.
The “rookie” patrolmen meeting
at the University are not begin
ners in the true sense of the word.
All of them have been employed
for a year or more as drivers li
cense examiners, and some have
already had six or seven months
“on the road." But for all of them,
the Training School is the place
for stocking up on information
which will serve them well during
the months to come.
In classes on Georgia history,
geography, and government they
are learning the answers to quest
ions most likely tto be asked by
tourists. In jujitsu and first aid
they learn how to look out for
themselves and other people altho
with radio communication the
chances are tfiey will seldom need
either of these skills. In accident
investigation classes tthey get
down tto the bare facts of their
jobs, while in public speaking they
learn to give a speech on safety.
Captain R. V. Richards, director
of training for the Georgia State
Patrol and commander of school,
points out that the most important
thing a trooper learns in the school
is how to control people and traf
fic.
“A trooper must learn to be cour
teous and reasonable, but firm,” he
said. He must learn to give posi
tive directions in traffic, to control
a mob or a riot, to protect him
self, and to aid the motorist.
Captain Richards pointed out
that all state patrolmen are big
men. The smallest among them
must be 5 feet 10 inches tall and
weigh 160 pounds. He must also
be young, the age for a beginner
being 21—35.
The patrolmen in school at the
University are getting a taste now
of the rigors of trooper life. They
march to meals in close-order drill
and spend all day from early morn
ing until after dinner at night in
classes.. Only the week-ends, from
Saturday noon until Sunday night,
are free.
One thing on their schedule is
something these ex-drivers license
examiners are used to. That is a
drivers test one which they take
themselves rather than one they
give, so rigid it makes those given
to ordinary drivers pale in com
parison.
But afer all, Captain Richards
commented, if anyone on the road
should know how to drive, it is the
trooper.
NOTICE
I regret that I can no longer af
ford to close my office practically
every day, or else work far into
the night, in order to treat patients
at their homes for the fees which
I have eben charging. Therefore,
after September 15, 1955, there will
be an increase in charges for all
my home visits. I wish to suggest
that the way to avoid paying the
fees charged for "outside work" is
to go to some physician’s office
when medical care is needed—ex
cept for those VERY RARE in
stances when travel is actually not
advisable or is impossible due to
the condition of the patient.
Sincerely,
i

Are The
Churches Failing?
Too many churches are wrapped
up in themselves. They are doing
some things for their group but
they don’t reach out far enough
with their good works. Jesus said.
[ “By this shall all men know that
I you are my disciples if ye have
love one for the other.’’
Every church should examine
themselves and see if they have
been true to the boys and girls,
the young people, and the adults
in the community. Every church
should see to it that they join with
the other churches of their de
nomination in sending help to peo
ple throughout the world. Jesus
said, “Go into all the* world
Preach .... Teach .... Baptize....
as well as heal.
There are many fine boys and
girls; yooung men and young wo
men who have ceased attending
church services because the church
es do not present a challenge and
an opportunity to them to develop
and grow in the service of the
Master. The members of the church
es, many times, are too healf-heart
ed and indifferent toward the teach
ing of the Bible and the winning
of others to the Saviour.
To those people who see these
things that are wrong with the
churches. Will you come on
into the work of the church and
try to correct the deficiencies. If
a large enough group will demand
more participation in the work of
the churches, much progress can
be made. Young people’s organiza
tions; such as the B. T. U. and
W. M. U. organizations; and Daily
Vacation Bible Schools etc; could
be used to give young Christians
work to do and a greater challenge
to give themselves to the Master’s
service. How the world needs gen
uine Christians at home, faithful
missionaries abroad. The hope of
the world is Jesus and those who
love and serve him.
Just do our best to make the
work of the church attractive to
young people. Loyalty to Jesus
Christ is what we need more than
anything else in the world. Jesus
never fails.

Yes, The Co-operative
Program Is Scriptural
SCRIPTURAL IN ITS PRINCI
PLES OF ADMINISTRATION !
1. No human magnates or dicta-j
tors to manage it. In 3 John wej
see Diotrephes "Vho loveth to'
have the preeminence among them!
....prating against us with wicked I
words." Men like him were “prat
ing against” John who was humb-j
ly leading as superintendent of the
mission work in Asia (state). Dio
trephes was against the mission-1
aries sent out by John <v. 10). j
2. Leaders (secretaries) led byj
the Holy Spirit and chosen by the!
churches administer the affairs of |
the Co-operative Program. Peter!
and John were the superintend- j
ents of the work among the Jews:
Paul and Barnabas of the Work
among the Gentiles# (Gal. 2:9).
This arrangement was decided on
under leadership of the Holy Spirit
at that first convention held in
Jerusalem.
3. Fraternal co-operation among
the churches and workers is the
basic principle of operation. This
is the New Testament principle.
That was the principle decided on
at that first New Testament con
vention. “James and Cephas and
John gave to me and Barnabas
the right hands of fellowship, % that
we should ggo unto the Gentiles,
and they unto the circumcision
(Jews)" (Gal. 2: 9). These leaders
led by the Spirit, co-operated in
the spirit of fraternal fellowship.
So do our churches, pastors, mis
sionaries, secretaries. “For we are
God’s fellow-workers” (1 Cor. 3:9).
4. Systematic contributions from
the churches to support the pro
gram. The Co-operative Program
seeks through the Every-Member
Canvass each year, led by churches
and pastors, to provide the funds
for promoting evangelism, missions
schools, orphanages, and hospitaals.
Is this scriptural? “Bring ye the
whole tithe into the storehouse.,
and prove me now herewith, saith
Jehovah of hosts, if I will not
open you the windows of heaven,
and pour you out a blessing, that
there shall not be room enough to
receive it” (Mai. 3: 10). "Upon the
first day of the week (our Sunday)
let each one of you lay by him in
store, as he may prosper, that no
collections be made when I come’’
(1 Cor. 16: 2).
Conclusion: Now, fellow-Baptists
'everywhere, in country and hamlet
in town and city, since this Coop
erative Program is scriptural in its
objectives, agencies, and principles
of administration, ought we not,
one and all, to back it with our
prayers and money? Everything we
are commanded by our Lord to do
is included in this plan of working
together.. It distributes to each
cause or agency according to its
importance and its relative needs.
Lt gives every Baptist and every
church a chance to have some part
every month in the whole program
of our Master. Safe, sane, scriptur
al, and economical, it has already
brought greater good to our Bap
tist cause than any other plan
ever used.
