HUMAN RELATIONS
The Ten, Atlanta’s oldest liter
ary club, organized back in 1898
by ten Baptist preachers, and now ]
having only one Baptist preacher,
is just now devoting a year’s study
to Twentieth Century Leadership
Judge Samuel H. Sibley gave the
first paper in the present series on
Statecraft in the Twentieth Cen
turyy, and last Friday evening Dr.
J. R. McCain gave the second pap
er, having for his subject, Human
Relations in the Twentieth Century
Dr. McCain used two persons—
President Franklin D. Roosevelt,
and Mr. John D. Rockefeller, Jr.
He cited the late President as a
man who made his contribution to
Human Relations in the field of
political leadership, while Mr.
Rockefeller had made his contribu
tion in the field of philanthropy.
He traced the major events in the
administrations of President Roose
velt that dealt with human relat
ions, reminding us of the Presi
dent’s rare ability to dramatize his
proposals by catchy phrases—“the
forgotten man,” “the four free
doms,” "the new' deal.”
He cited the wide range of con
tributions of Mr. Rockefeller in the
field of human relations —the fight
on malaria, the idea of county
agents, helping Mexico to grow
corn, cancer research, matched fin
ancial aid to varied types of school
and many other philanthropies
which have helped people in every
part of the world to become better
workers, better parents, better citi
zens.
Human relations is an intriguing
theme. Many people are making
lasting contributions in this area—
! many whose names never appear
| in the press or on the radio or TV
I They are lighting candles rather
' than cursing the dark. They shall
I have their reward.
I Jesus talked a great deal about
human relations. Take the so-called
| Sermon on the Mount, for example
I What if we tried sincerely to fol
low His teachings? We would not
only have the Goldenn Rule —we
would have the Golden Age.
And it is possible to have better
human relations, lasting relation
ships, based on God’s will and way
for His people. “If your heart is
right, give me your hand,” said an
ancient prophet.
Until we set ourselves to improve
human relations, we had as well
admit that life will be burdened
with envy, jealousy, covetousness,
hatred, grief and defeat.
‘ “Whatsoever ye w'ould that men
should do to you, do ye even so
unto them.”
Two New Industries
For Every County
Seen By Candler
ATLANTA (GPS) “We can get at
least two industrial organizations
in every county in Georgia within
the next two years if we work
at it.”
Thus declared Scott Candler, se
cretary of the Georgia Department
of Commerce, the state’s No. 1
agency for promoting new indus
tries, in a speech before the recent
22nd annual meeting of the Geor
gia Municipal Association held at
Radium Springs.
“We don’t offer industry any
thing free,” he said. “We just show
them they’ll make more money in
our state.”
Pointing out that attracting in
dustry to larger cities is not Geor
gia’s primary problem, Candler
said “Getting industry to the little
towns is the greatest, problem.”
However, he added, “Industry fol
lows industry.”
Then he gave this advice to Geor
gia’s smaller cities and towns de
siring to attract new industries:
“Remember that the small South
ern town has great assets in cli
mate, resources and labor. You
should let everyone know it.
“You have to develop the things
you can offer an incoming indus
try and make it obvious your town
is willing to cooperate.
“Study your state, become sold
on it yourself, and sell others on it.
"Keep in mind that industry fol
lows the good things of life —-
good schools, churches, public
health, libraries and neighbors.”

Governor Again Makes
Georgia Stand Clear
On School Issue
Reaffirming Georgia’s stand
against mixing the races in the
public schools, Governor Marvin
Griffin, in a recent speech before
the Charleston S. C., County Citi
zens Council, said Southerners who
refuse to accept the U. S. Supreme
Court’s school segregation decision
are "acting according to the clear
provisions of* the U. S. Constitut
ion and their blood-won rights as
American citizens.” Said he:
“By doing so, they are following
the law of the land Let me say
to you, definitely and unequivoc
ally, Georgia will have separate
public schools or no public schools.
There is no choice under our laws.
Our State Constitution and laws
prevent expenditure of state tax
funds for the operation of mixed
schools. Our General Assembly will
never appropriate money for mixed
schools.”
With Your County
Aeent
Walter H. Rucker
Com harvest time is almost upon
us. In most areas of the county
crops received more rainfall this
year than in the past 3 or 4 years
and most people are counting on
a rather good corn crop.
Those people who planted with
an aim of producing a 100 bushel
per acre yield and who are inter
ested in becoming members of the
Georgia 100 bushel corn club
should have their yields checked at
an early date. To have a prelimi
nary check made of your yield, it
will only be necessary that you
notify this office.
A new corn club is being organi
zed this year made up of farmers
who produce at least a thousand
bushels of corn on 12 acres of
land. This club will be called “The
Georgia 1000 Busheel Corn Club”.
A rather large membership is anti
cipated for the first year. The av
erage yield on these 12 acres will
need to be just slightly more than
83 bushels per acre.
It is hoped that Forsyth County
will be well represented on both
clubs. I am sure that we have a
number of one acre plots along
our streams that will reach the 100
bushel mark this year. It is very
possible that we will have some
who are eligible for the 1000 bush
el club. This 12 acres can be made
up of more than one area, so if
you have at least 12 acres of corn
in one or more fields you may still
be eligible.
Membership is free in both clubs.
However, it is important that you
notify me at once so that a preli
minary check can be made of the
yield.
FORSYTH COUNTY SPELLING
CONTEST
Miss Ann Burton, an eleventh
grade student of Forsyth County
High School and daughter of Mr.
Hoyt Burton of Route 5, Cumming,
Georgia won the Spelling Contest
last Wednesday, October sth, held

Miss Remelba Bramblett, seventh
grade student of the Cumming Ele
mentary School and daughter of
Dr. and Mrs. Rupert Bramblett,
Route 3, Cumming, Georgia was
runner-up in the contest. This event
was sopnsored by the Southeastern
Fair.
Mr. Housley states that next
spring another spelling contest will
be sponsored by the Atlanta Jour
nal for the boys and girls of Geor
gia.

NOT A SLAVE BUT
A BROTHER
The iniquity of slavery can never
be obliterated without “the mind
of Christ”. Unaided human think
ing at its highest, as seen in Aris
totle, defends bondage on ground
of race diversity—“ Mankind is di
visible into free, and the slaves by
nature".
But the Man of Galilee took the
slave by one hand and the Owner
by the other, set them face to face
and said, "You are brothers”.
The reason why we have the so
called "Negro problem” today is
that emancipation as a political ad
vance has not been accompanied by
the higher dynamic of "Not now
as a slave, but above a slave—a
brother beloved."
We should look upon all people
of all races as looks upon
them. He “so loved the world that
he gave his only begotten son that
whosoever believeth on him should
not perish but have eternal life”.
God doesn’t judge us by the color
of our skin but by the attitude of
our hearts. One of the greatest
scientist and one of the humblest
Christians in the past generation
was a negro man by the name of
George Washington Carver. He had
a black face but he had a pure
clean heart, and a great faith in
God and in God’s world. When he
was a tiny boy he and his mother
were slaves—they were exchanged
for a race horse. He was a slave
but he became a "brother beloved”.
He taught a Bible Class, he spoke
before the Congress, he was enter
tained by the great men of his day.
He was honored around the world.
W. R. CALLAWAY
Estimate 61 Million
Motor Vehicles On
Road By End Of Year
The motorist with a yen to pass
everything on the road might as
well accept the inevitable and fall
into line, the Georgia Motor Club
(AAA) advised today, for by the
end of this year there’ll be an esti
mated 61,301,000 motor vechincles
in this country.
This somewhat -astronomical fig
ure will include 50,954,000 passen
ger cars, a 5.1 per cent increase
over last year, and 10,347,000 more
trucks and buses—a gain of 2.8
per cent, R. W. Schilling, President
of the Georgia Motor Club, pointed
out. The estimates were based on
stat\ registration figures obtained
by the American Automobile Asso
ciation, with which the club here
is affiliated, from the U. S. Bureau
of Public Roads. They’re prelimi
nary - not final.
Don’t get alarmed at the SI mil
lion plus figure, Mr. Schilling
advised, for if the pattern of in
creased registrations continues,
there’ll be 81 million vehicles on
tne roads in 1965 a mere ten
years hence.
Florida, with an anticipated 10.0
per cent increase in motor vehicle
registrations, is experiencing the
biggest gain of any state. Texas is
next with 7.1 per cent, and increas
es of between 6 and 7 per cent are
expected in Georgia, Alabama,
California, Louisiana and North
Carolina.
The estimated total registration
of motor vehicles for Georgia for
1955 is 1,205,000. Of this number,
passenger cars make up an esti
mated 960,000. The per cent of in
crease in total registration is 6.3
over 1954.

Public Health Dept.
(By Grace Palmour, P. H. N.)
An outbreak of four case of diph
theria one resulting in death
in Habersham County this week
emphasized the fear of public
health officials that the disease is
attempting a comeback in Georgia
Four children of the Kinney Mor
ris family, Rt. 1, Alto, were infect
ed. Virginia, age eight, died Tues
day (October 4). Hospitalized now
at Hall County Hospital in Gaines
ville are: Frankie, age nine, Estelle
age four, and two year-old Mary,
according to Mrs. Ethel Blog, Pub
lic Health Nurse in Habersham.
Only recently Dr. T. F. Sellers,
Director of the Georgia Department
of Public Health, had said, “No
child need die of diphtheria. Since
modern medicine has made diph
theria so easy to prevent, it espec
ially saddens those of us in public
health to see even one death a
year from this disease."
Dr. Sellers was referring to tox
oid shots and booster shots which
readily prevent the infection. These
shots are given by local physicians
or local health departments.
Deaths from diphtheria have in
creased from a low of 11 in 1951
to 53 in 1954, according to Dr. W.
J. Murphy, State Health Depart
ment Epidemiologist. The increase
resulted, he said from parents not
taking advantage of available im
munizations.
