On Misjudging Others It is a wonderful study to try to find out the causes of behavior and some of the motives behind our acts. Psychology is a wonder ful study (science) but there is a danger of assigning a wrong mot ive to certain individuals. There are some general principals that guide us in the study but we do a person an injustice to assign to him a selfish motive and call him vain when we are not sure of his real motive. There is a definite limit which every psychologist or Psychiatrist should recognize. If we go beyond that limit we are undertaking to do what only God can do. For He knows the secret intent of our heart, for in Him we live and move and have our beings. That tendency to analyze the character of others can get out of hand and cause us to become “Chronic Faultfinders”. Jesus calss that habit a sin. He said, “Judge not, that ye be not judged for with what judgment ye judge ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again’’ etc. He goes on to say, why look for the mote in your brother’s eye and fail to recognize the beam in your own eye? We have sufficient evidence to know thaat many times large gifts have been given to good causes to satisfy the vanity in the individual who gave it, but it would be a wrong conclusion to make in say ing that everyone who gives large gifts to good causes have the wrong motive. We know full well that there have been many unsel fish gifts. We should assume that tlfeir motives are pure. God alone knows their real motive. He alone is the Judge. W. R.

Southern Bell To Spend Half Billion In Two Years Southern Bell Telephone Com pany expects to spend almost SSOO, million dollars in 1955 and 1956! to improve and expand telephone service in its nine-state territory, according to a statement by Fred J. Turner, president of the firm. This two-year expansion program will no doubt be the greatest in vestment of any company in the region for the period. The half Bil lion is for expansion alone and does not include normal operating expenses. In 1955 the company estimates it will spend $240 million for new facilities of all kinds. It will be the biggest year’s service improvement and construction program in the firm’s history, comparing with SIBB million in 1954, Mr. Turner revealed. “Telephone service de mand throughout the South is con tinuing so heavy at present and looks so big on into the future that we expect to invest more than $250 million for new equipment in the nine states in 1956.” This record expansion program comes on top of record investments already made in the South during the past nine years by Southern Bell. Reasons for Heavy Demands Mr. Turner cited three big fact ors responsible for the heavy tele phone demands in the South: 1. Increased individual and total in come resulting from commercial, industrial and agricultural expan sion of the area; 2. Increased num ber of families and households - created by population growth; mar riages and other factors; 3. The “telephone convenience quotient”, whi\i he described as “that quality of telephone service that meets the increasing desires of the public for an instrumentality that saves time and adds convenience when they want to get .something done or get something said.” He further stated that he ex pected the phnoemenal develop ment in the South’s economy to continue. The first obective of Sou thern Bell’s extensive expansion program is to eliminate waits add to provide telephone services to meet the public needs on a current basis, even though the demand con tinues phenomenal. Large Capital Must Be Raised “Such a program beings the need for large sums of new money. For the most part, they will be new capital funds invested in the con fidence that ou rregion’s vigorous growth will continue, that tele phone communications will con tinue to play a vital role in that growth and that the business will be able to realize adequate earn ings in order to keep financially sound and continue contributing to the region’s progress.” Funds for telephone construction do not come out of monthly revenue from cus tomers but “must be raised from investors willing to put their mon ey in the telephone business,’ ’ Mr. Turner pointed out. Record Georgia Program In Georgia, where Southern Bell has increased the number of tele phones in use from 280,000 ten years ago to 700,000 today, General Manager C. C. Sloan said $30,000,- 000 in new facilities will be pro vided in 1955 and about $35,000,000 are now contemplated for 1956. Mr. Sloan said the new equip ment to be provided will augment “tremendous telephone growth that has already taken place over the state and that every Southrn Bell exchange in Georgia will share in this record-breaking telephone ex pansion.” NOTICE Post 9143 V.

Bagwell, Chairman of the Forsyth County ASC Committee, would like to again urge all eligi ble farmers to come to the election meetings to be held on October 4, 1955 and help to elect the persons they wish to serve on the communi ty ASC Committees for the next calendar year. He stated that they should vote for five persons from the slate of candidates selected by the nominat ing committee, he said, or they can write the names of any others they may choose in on the ballots. Farmers eligible to vote in the election meetings are those who are of legal voting age and have an interest in a farm, either as owner, tenant or sharecropper, where one of the approved ACP practices is being carried out this year, or who are eligible for a co operator’s loan or other price sup ports. Written notices have been sent to eligible farmers, but because County Office records are not com plete for tenants and sharecrop pers there may be some farmers eligible to vote who have not re ceived notices. Persons who believe they are eliggible to vote and fail to receive notices in the mails, should inquire at the County ASC Committee Office for information Mr. Bagwell urges all farmers to vote, pointing out'that committee men have important roles in the administration of AC , marketing quotas and price support programs and other programs administered through ASC. With additional mar keting quota programs in operation and the new-cross-compliance pro visions, ASC programs will be of vital importance to almost every farm in the county, and the neces sity fff having good committeemen to administer these programs can not be overemphasized. The elec tion meetings will be held at the following places in the county: Chestatee & New Bridge— Free man’s Store Settendown & Ducktown M. M. Green’s Store Cumming & Chattahoochee —ASC Committee Office Barkers & Hightower—Hurt and Moore's Store Coal Mt. & Rolands —Grady Mar tin’s 1 Store Big Creek Big Creek Court House Bells & Vickory Ralph Moore’s Store All polls will open promptly at 8:00 A.

Come and enjoy the day of fellowship. Lunch will be served at 12 O’clock. Today & Tomorrow Louie D. Newton THE WAR GOES ON Last week we had a very inter esting and revealing meeting in the Senate Chamber of the State Capi tol. It was a public hearing, called by State Commissioner of Revenue, T. V. Williams, to hear the opin ions of the people on the pending application of Carling Brewery for a license to build and operate a brewery in Atlanta. The Atlanta City Council had previously grant ed the municipal license. Carling was now asking for the state li cense. The place was crowded to stand ing room, and then not enough It developed that four of the people present were in favor of the brew ery coming into Gorgia. The rest were ardently opposed to its com ing. I wouldn’t say that the pro portion would hold for the state, but I venture the prediction that “ the voters »n Georgia had a chance to express themselves, they would have denied the license by an overwhelming majority. One of the interesting facts de- Ve o^J n th,s hearing, which had not hitherto been admitted by the beer crowd, is the fact that Cana dian Breweries own Carling Brew ery, at least 95 per cent of the stock. It was further pointed out, from official document of the Cana dian Government, that Candian Breweries has lately been under fire for alleged monopolistic prac tices. By the action of the recent General Assembly, and the grant ng of the licenses by Atlanta and the State of Georgia, we are wel coming a corporation that has been in trouble in its own country. The attorney for Carling argued that the people who favored its coming to Georgia were interested only in the business aspects of the transaction. Exactly. He went on to say that he was not there to argue the moral issues —that they were purely personal. Exactly. It is easy to see why a few people are so interested in fastning a necklace of breweries around the throat of Georgia’s capitol city. It will mean big profits for them. Nor is it difficult, I hope, for any one to understand why most of the people in Georgia are opposed to the coming of these breweries. We are concerned for the personal wel fare of our people. More beer means more drunkenness, more tax es, more jails, more asylums, more helpless children, more loss of man power, more wrecks on the high ways, more grief, more sorrow, core crime. We intend to keep up the fight on liquor, wine and beer, both legal and illegal. We lost the battle last week, but the war goes on. State Farm Income Rises s2—Million ATLANTA, (GPS) Things ap pear to be going better down on the farm in Georgia. At least, Georgia cash farm income in the first half of 1955 was nearly $2- million greater than in the same 1954 period, according to the U. S. Department of Commerce. This year’s total was $196,914,- 000 from January thru June, com pared with $194,945,000 a year ago, an increase of slightly more than one per cent. Bigges help came from the sale of livestock and its products, which rose from $128,- 357,000 to $135,896,000, a gain of nearly six per cent. This brighter picture developed despite a severe peach and pecan killing freeze last spring, which cost Georgia farmers an estimated S2O-million in additional cash in come, it was pointed out.
