DR. LOUIE D. NEWTON
October 23 p. m. October 25
Beloved and well-known preacher,
pastor, Christian Statesman and
writer.
On Friday night through Sunday
morning, a special evangelistic
team from Truett-McConnell Bap
tist Junior College of Cleveland,
Georgia will be in charge of the
services. Rev. Julian Yuille, an out
standing young minister, will
preach during these three sendees.
This young man has been in evan
gelistic work for five years, and
his ministry has included preaching
in jails, schools, churches, and in
street and city rescue mission
work. Bill Cannady, also a student
at Truett-McConnell, will lead the
singing during this part of the re
vival. .Mr. Cannady is preparing
for a life of full-time Christian
service in the field of church mus
ic. He is twenty-one years of age,
and is a very talented and conse
crated Christian young man.
Then, on Sunday Evening, Octob
er 23rd, Dr. Louie D. Newton
comes to lead in a series of ser
vices lasting through Tuesday
night. Dr. Newton is well-known
and greatly loved all over Georgia
and the Southern Baptist Conven
tion. He has served as pastor of
the Druid Hills Baptist Church in
Atlanta for over 25 years, and has
written weekly articles for many
Baptist publications and regular
newspapers. He is perhaps best
known for his regular article in
The Christian Index, THIS CHANG
ING WORLD, which gives Georgia
Baptist a keen insight into the real
significance of world affairs. As a
Christian statesman, he has long
been a leader against the forces of
evil in the Southland, especially
the liquor peddlers in this state.
His warmth as a preacher of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ captures
the hearts of all who hear him.
Mr. Paul Forrest, the present
music director of the Cumming
First Baptist Church, will lead the
singing for this part of the revival.
Everyone, is and around the
Cumming community is most cor
dially invited and urged to come
and share in the blessings of this
revival. Although the entire meet
ing is brief in time, Christians are
praying that this may prove to be
one of the most effective revivals
ever held in this community.

BAINBRIDGE
Down at Bainbridge last week
for an engagement with Pastor
James Burrell and the First Bap
tist Church, I enjoyed the majectic
oaks, the beautiful river, the at
tractive homes and yards, and, best
of all, the fine people of that im
portant business, social and cultur
al community in Southwest Geor
gia.
They call it the City of Oaks,
and very properly. I do not know
where you would go to find a more
picture of liveoak. How old are
they, I asked, and several oldtim
ers said they were hundreds and
hundreds of years old. I can well
believe it.
Mr. Raymond Powell took me up
the river on two occasions, and I
submit that casting for trout on
that beautiful stream with Ray
mond Powell is super, super fish
ing. The low water and the bright
sunlight on the sandy bottom had
the trout a little shy, but we got
a few.
Bainbridge is a hospitable com
munity. you feel it at the hotel, on
the streets, in the churches. The
folks take time to visit up and
down the streets. They are not in
too much of a hurry. They know
one another, and they are interest
ed in one another.
The fellowship of the church
people impressed me. I was in a
meeting of the pastors of the var
ious denominations, and it was
strengthening a Methodist pas
tor presiding, and an Episcopalian
minister keeping the record. They
were concerned to do the best pos
sible job for the men in training
at the air base.
Jimmy Burrell is a hustler. He
had the people at church every
morning at 7:45, and then a radio
service at 9:30, and back that even
ing at 7:30. Three choirs, led by
Frank Bozeman of East Point,
made the welkin ring. They love
to sing in Bainbridge.
We went out to Mt. Zion for a
session of the Bowen Association,
and there I saw one of the most
beautiful rural church meeting
houses, highlighting a fine farming
community. Pastor Wurst is a
stemwinder a young fellow that
instructs the men at the air base
and serves this growing country
church.
The farms and pastures round
about Bainbridge are indicative of
progressive Decatur Countny. Num
erous industries provide a substan
tial payrool for them. They are
really on their way down there in
Bainbridge, building boys and girls
and good men and women.

Fire Protection
Vital To Georgia
Growth - Griffin
ATLANTA—Adequate fire pro
tection is as important to the
growth and development of our
communities as good schools, good
churches, good water and sewage
facilities.
Thus writes Governor Marvin
Griffin in the October issue of The
Georgia Fire Cracker, monthly pub
lication of the Georgia Safety Fire
Commission.
Pointing out that his interest in
fire preveention efforts in Georgia
are deeply-rooted, the Chief exe
cutiv stated he was proud of the
progress being made and also hap
py that the nation was cognizant
of that fact. He cited the action of
the National Association of Insur
ance Commissioners, in New York
last December, in adopting a reso
lution offered by its fire prevention
committee recommending that the
legislatures of the other 47 states
adopt fire safety statues patterned
after the Georgia Safety Fire Law
of 1949.
Governor Griffin also said that
he had the satisfaction of helping
pass the law while he was lieute
nant-governor and explained that
while it primarily was designed to
saves lives, still it now is saving
fire insurance policy holders in ex
cess of $15,000,000 annually in re
duced premiums.
He commended Safety Fire Com
missioner Zack Cravey, the Fire
Marshal’s office, city and county
officials, Dr. M. D. Collins, state
school superindent and every fire
fighter in the state for their, un
tiring efforts to make all citizens
fire safety conscious. Their spirit
of teamwork was praised.

News
The members of our Chapter
had a very profitable and success
ful participation in exhibiting our
livestock in both the Co.unty Fair
and the Southeastern Fair. The
individual members won over $150.-
00 in prizes at the County Fair and
the Chapter won $41.00.
Three of our members, Jerry
McWhorter, Jimmy Wood and Billy
Dixon, showed their Sears Roe
buck pig chain pigs at the South
eastern Fair and won more prizes
with them than any other group.
Jerry McWhorter won a Blue
Ribbon in the Sears Roebuck show
and Fourth place in Fitting and
Showmanship in the event. In the
Open Show he completed against
both Junior and Adult groups and
won 2 Blue Ribbons annd 2 Grand
Champion Ribbons. This meant
that his hog was the best Hamp
shire hog at the Fair. This is rath
er unusual and indicates the qauli
ty of work Jerry did.
Jimmy Wood was not far behind
Jerry. He won a Blue Ribbon in
the Sears Roebuck Show, 2 Red
Ribbon and a Reserce Grand
Champion Ribbon in the Open
Show. These Ribbons indicated a
clean sweep of the Hampshire
Show and represented cash win
nings of over $145.00. This is the
first time our FFA Chapter has
ever won a complete show and we
believe it is the first time any
Chapter has accomplished it.
Billy Dixon showed his Boar at
the Fair and won a Red Ribbon
in the Sears Roebuck Show. He
placed Fifth in the Junior Division
of the Open Show. He did a most
outstanding job raising his pig
even though his placings were not
as high as our other two members
Billy lost his first pig and had to
get a younger pig to compete
against all the others at the Fair.
The Forsyth County Fair Asso
ciation is making available $500.00
to our Chapter to start a Register
ed Jersey Calf Chain. It will work
similar to the pig chain with the
boys giving back their first female
calves to the Association. These in
turn will be given to other boys.
We want to thank the members of
the Association for making this
progressive move. We will do the
best job possible in raising these
calves and showing them at the
County Fair each year.

With Y our County
Agent
Walter H. Rucker
The youth of Forsyth County
along with the dairy industry re
ceived a big boost from the For
syth County Fair Association at a
meeeting last Friday night..
Fair Board members Mr. Ira Bot
toms, Mr. Clarence Bagwell, Mr.
Steve James, Mr. Ernest Sherrill
annd Mrs. Clyde Mize were present
along with Mrs. Clarence Bagwell,
Mr. Lanier Bannister, Mr. James
Harris and your county agent. The
meeting was held in the very mod
em new Vo. Ag building of the
new county high school.
Among other business matters
aimed at making the annual coun
ty fair bigger and better, the fair
board voted to make available five
hundred dollars each year for the
next two years for the purpose of
starting a dairy calf chain for the
PFA and 4-H club members. The
idea was suggested by Mr. Bannis
ter and met with the immediate
approval of those present.
While the rules and regulations
as well as many other details are
yet to be worked out, the chain
will operate basically as follows; a
club member will receive a regis
tered heifer calf and will agree to
care for and grow out the calf ac
cording to the rules and regulat
ions set up by the fair board. He
will agree to breed the calf to a
registered bull selected also by the
fair board and will return the first
heifer calf from the cow to the
fair board to be assigned to anoth
er club member. At that time the
cow will become his property. It
will amount to an actual free loan
to those dug members which could
not afford such a project.
An aggreement will have to be
signed by both the club member
and ther parents. Included in the
agreement will be the requirement
that the club member fit and show
the animal at the county fair.
Wlith just a small amount of ima
g-nation it is very easy to see the
livestock barn filled with some real
good dairy cows in future years.
Thanks mainly to the foresight of
your County Fair Board.

Governor Griffin has called a

Hallowe’en Carnival
Friday Night Oct., 28
The Cumming Parent Teacher’s
Association is sponsoring the an
nual Hallowe’en Carnival again this
year, to be held October 28th in
the gumnasium. Doors will open
Hi '7 o’clock. There will be lots to
i
do and much fun to be had so plan
to come early and stay late. We’ll
have cartoons, pony rides, apple
bobbing, fishing ponds, a doll con
test, cake walk, homemade candy,
a country store, dart games and
beauty contests. The local mer
chants have very generously given
gifts to be won at Bingo and plans
are underway for hay rides and
other activities. The doll contest is
a new feature which may be en
tered by anyone who pays a 10
cent entrance fee, brings a doll to
be displayed and the public will
cast votes for the doll they like
the best, a penny a vote. Perhaps
you have a very old doll, or a home
made doll, a European or foreign
doll or maybe the doll Santa Claus
brought last year—bring her to
the doll contest. This is being spon
sored by the Fourth grades. Mrs.
Robert McElreath, PTA president,
asks that all members bring a cake
for the cake walk. Homemade cake
slices will be served in the cafe
teria, as well as hot dogs and cof-
I fee.
This is the one money making
project the PTA undertakes for the
years’ budget. We want to raise
money to help improve our play
grounds and school libraries, so
come to the Carnival for a good
time and support your school.
