Today & Tomorrow Louie D. Newton MONEY A father came to my study, in tears. I had seen him in a few days before, and had asked about his boy, knowing how much he loved him and how earnestly he had sought to give the boy every pos sible advantage. He told me that the boy had a good job, and was making high wages. What now, I wondered, could these tears mean? And then the story: N The boy, barely 18, had gone from high school to take a well paying job, and was making lots of over time, meaning that he was getting substantially over a hund red dollars a week. He had bought a fine car, and was inclined to be too heavy on the throttle. There had been three arrests for speeding. Then the license was re voked for a month, and during that month, the boy had been driving right on, and had been arrested for speeding, unable to produce a li cense. The judge had given him a jail sentence! That was enough to explain the tears—tears that gushed from a father’s broken heart. I thought of the mother, more deeply hurt, if possible. The father was not defending the boy, but wondering if there was any way by which the boy could be saved from his own folly. He was thinking of the family name—a good name, indeed, un tarnished by any jail records. The situation was worked out, I hope, to save the boy’s present and future. He came later in the day to declare his sense of guilt and his purpose to redeem himself in the light of the court and his par ents. I have thought of this incident, wondering what would have hap pened to many of us when we were teen-agers, had we been sub jected to the temptations of easy money. I reflected that this teen age boy is making more per week than I was making per month when I was married in 1915, a pro fessor in Mercer University. There wasn’t any temptation for me to be speeding in those days, except to walk a little faster from one duty to another. Money is a good thing in its place, but we’d better be sure that it is mastered rather than master ing. The Bible tells us that the love of money is the root of every evil. This fine young man readily agreed that money can hurt, If we have the wrong notions about it. Drunk Story This man had the habit of com ing home three or four times a week three sheets to the wind, so his wife determined to teacn him a lesson. With the aid of a sheet and a floor lamp she made a fair Imitation of a ghost. She went in and shook her husband. “Wash this?” he murmured sot tily. “This is the devil,” was the ans wer. “Shake, old horsh.’’ he said, “I married your sister.” The Forsyth County News ' OFFICIAL ORGAN OF FORSYTH COUNTY Si CITY OF CUMMING DEVOTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF FORSYTH.

In the wars that have been fought throughout history, when one army surrendered to another army, it always meant defeat, for the one surrendering. I want to tell you that when you and I sur render our stubborn wills to the Will of God in Jesus Christ, we have won the greatest victory we can ever win. In giving up our own selfish desires and ambitions and opinions, we gain the victory over temperal things and gain eter nal life with God. We give up the toys of earth for the ternal reali ties here and hereafter. When we renounce self and en throne Jesus Christ in our lives we have taken the step that brings peace to our hearts and lives. When we stop changing to the opinions of men and believe, whole heartedly in the teaching of the Bible, and accept completely the Lord Jesus Christ as our personal Saviour and Lord:—We have won the greatest victor we will ever I win in this life. Why? Because we have settled the greatest question in Time and Eternity by surrend ing to the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour and Lord. | The next thing for us to do is to serve him faithfully the remain der of our days on earth. The greatest thrill you will ever have in the service of the Master is the | experience of leading someone else jto follow Christ. That experience is in reach of every Christian. If you desire to be victorious in your living, surrender your ALL to Jesus Christ. The one who gave you your physical life will also give you eternal life with God, if you will only trust him. A godless Cowboy had broken up religious services and ran the preacher off several times. The people told Dr. Truett about him and warned him that this Cowboy would probably break up the meet ing. Dr. Truett was holding at the time. He came one night and sat in the back side of the tent. Groups of Christian people began to pray earnestly for his conversion. The next night when the invitation was given he came walking down the isle—He cried out "I give up”, “I surrender to Christ’’. He became a power for God in Texas. W. R.

If you carried out a practice in the fall of 1954 and you have not received a check in payment of this practice you should receive one during the next few weeks. All the farmers in the County who did not overplant their cotton allotment should have received their cotton marketing cards as they were mailed during the week of September 9, 1955. With "Y our County Agent Walter H. Rucker Present forecasts pointto to the largest corn harvest in the history the state of Georgia. The esti mate for this year is a record 21 bushels per acre. Compare this with last -years yield of slightly above 10 bushels per year and you get a pretty good picture of this year’s corn crop. With this yield of corn, farmers can expect lower immediate corn prices. These lower prices will pre sent problems to farms where there is not enough storage space. It is true that we here in For syth County have ampe markets for our crops through the many feed mills in the area. But, to be able to use it in feed, corn must have 14 percent or less moisture content. Very little, if any, corn will be this dry when harvested from the field. The more fortunate or better prepared farm will have enough storage space to hold this year’s corn. By holding his corn, the far mer will accomplish two purposes. First, it will allow the moisture content to fall low enough to en able it to be used in feed. Second, it will enable him to miss the fall market when it is generally flood ed. Normally we can expect corn prices to go back up after the fall harvest is over. Another alternative of the farm er is to market his corn crop thru livestock. This possibility should be seriously considered, especially where ample pasture is also avail able. Even with hog prices at the pre sent level. A strong possibility ex ists that you will be able to get more per bushel for your corn through hogs than by selling it on the open market. Important Notice i SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 18 at the Midway Methodist Church, Rev. Elisha Starr Winn, Father of the pastor will conduct the Services at 11 a. m. 3:30 and 8 p. m. At the 3:30 service Baptism and Reception Everyone cordially Invited to at tend all the services. Forsyth County High School News Everyone was happy to get into the new school building last week.

Georgia Held It’s Own In Federal Aid This Year For Public Health Georgia has more than held its own this year in federal aid re ceived for public health. Quick action on the part of Geor gia’s congressmen and senators in Washington block several decreas es in allotments and brought about some increases in others, according to Dr. T. F. Sellers, director of the Georgia Department of Public Health. “Cuts in funds that help to raise the standard of health and produc tivity of our people can only be called false economy,” said Dr. Sel j lers. "Public health, even in the smallest community, is a joint fed eral, state and local responsibility.’* Federal public health appropria tions to Georgia for the fiscal year 1954-1955 amounted to $4,577,861, whereas the amount for the cur rent fiscal year is $5,193,151 a net increase of $615,290. Budget differences for the two fiscal years show hospital and health center construction projects under the Hill-Burton Act of 1946 and the Medical Racilities Act of 1954 receiving increased appropria tions amounting to $433,080. Other increases amount to $205- 513 went to veneral disease control, mental hygiene and crippled child ren. Decreases totaling $23,303 affect ed programs in maternal and child health, tuberculosis control, general health, cancer control and heart diseases. Under the Poliomyelitis Assist-1 ance Act, Georgia will receive al most $1,000,000 worth of polio vac cine before February 15. Distribut ion will begin in October and the vaccine will be limited to children under 10 years of age and preg nant women under the eighth month of pregnancy. CUM MING B. W. C.
