E. Buice has begun the con struction of a dam on his farm in the Sharon community. Clark Bros, of Lawrenceville are the contract ors. Marshall McWhorter and J. C. Chumbler have cleared approxi mately fifteen acros of bottom land along Thalley Creek. They have limied, fertilized and seeded this area to grass and clover. Last ob servations indicate a good stand of grass. This area is located below the flood prevention dam that has just been completed in the Spot community. The borrow pits, spillway and dam of the Spot community struc ture are now being seeded to grass and oats. Those planning to plant kudzu next spring should make plans now to secure the necessary crowns. Another item that farmers should consider now and that is the se curing of sericea seed for early spring planting. During some of the bad winter days farmers who are cooperators with the Upper Chattahoochee Riv er Soil Conservation District should check their land capability map and see if each acre of land on the farm is being used properly. REMEMBER TO PRAY When you are convicted of your sin, PRAY earnestly, the prayer of The Publican, “God be merciful to me the sinner”. In time of temptation, Pray that God will help you to overcome that temptation. As your Saviour overcame the temptation of Satan, so we as his followers can over come, with His help. As we approach every crisis in life, pray—seek His guidance. Je sus said “I am the way the truth and the life no man cometh unto the Father but by me.” Jesus Christ is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. When you choose your life com panion—Pray. Does the one you think you love, love the Lord Jesus Christ? Has that person accepted Jesus Christ as her personal sav ior? Is that prospective companion a devoted Christian? The great Apostle Paul said, “Pray without ceasing”. Let your life be one long prayer and the world will be much better because you lived in it. Do not forget God. But “remem ber your creator in the days of your youth before the evil days come and the years draw near when you shall say, I have no pleasure in them”. So “Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man”. Do not think of people just as phy sical beings but as Immortal souls —then you will pray. W.

The Number One Forestry Problem In Georgia Today as in the past forest fires can be very spectacular in their occurrence, and it takes many well trained and skilled men plus spec ialized tools and equipment to bring them under control. High winds and rought mountainous ter rain often make the job very diffi cult and dangerous. We should not try to minimize the impportance of fire fighting in the forests. Forsyth County has long been principally a timber producing area Timber has beeri the chief source of agricultural income until only recently when the economy was boosted by the poultry industry. Since we do now have this other source of income in Forsyth Coun ty, it is possible now to delay cut ting of immature timber and use these timberstands as a reserve or as a growing bank account to sup port owners against market fluctu ation in other fields. Proper management should in clude well advised planting where there is no natural seeding of areas removal of inferior hardwood com petition, fire protection, thinning at proper intervals and allowing the final crop to reach sizes to re turn the greatest amount of money to the landowner. Though it is not the first step in the life cycle of timber, it is necessary before even starting on the other phases to es tablish fire protection. This you have already obtained in your re cently established Forestry Unit. The measure of the Forsyth Coun ty Forestry Unit’s success will be the measure of your cooperation with it. All fires should be report ed by any citizen seeing them. No control burning should be done un less the adjoining landowners are jnotHijied 24 hours in advance of burning; and it makes good sense to notify your Ranger also so he will not have to tie up his equip ment checking fires already under control when your neighbor may need him for a wild fire. We of the Georgia Forestry Commission wan you in Forsyth County to have the best Forestry Unit in the State, but it is not our desire so much as yours which will make this possible. It is your cooper ation that will build the Unit. Ranger Edward L. Wright says that his fire fighting equipment is ready to suppress fires day and night. During the day forest towers re port any smokes that need check ing, but if the case occurs to re port a wild fire during the day call Cumming telephone No. 2950 or at night telephone No. 2493. SINGING NOTICE There will be a lot of good sing ers and you will hear a lot of good singing at Shady Grove Church Sunday night November 20. Come and bring someone with you. J. L. ROBBS, JR. Today & Tomorrow Louie D. Newton HOW IT WORKS The father and mother of a young bride came into town for their first visit, bringing along a few things from the farm —fresh yams, turnip greens, eggs, fryers, and a ham from the last shote they had butchered. “Why didn’t I have sense enough to wait until you got here,” re marked the daughter as she brought the pork shoulder to the table. “If you knew how much I paid for this shoulder, you’d just about faint.” The father explained that he had just sold some number one hogs for less than fourteen cents per pound. Then the daughter wanted to faint. The difference between what the farmer gets and his town daughter pays is hard to add up, but that is the way it works. They will give you a lot of fan cy, small print talk about how much It costs to handle a hog from the time it goes into the packing plant until it is offered in the re tail market, but I can’t fallow them A friend bought a pig sometime ago to grow out and put in his deep freeze, thinking he would head off the system, but he has the headache, and his pig isn’t yet ready to kill. He says that the price of feed is going to make every ppound of meat cost him neary as much as if he hought it at the store. So that is the way it works if you try to raise your own meat, unless you have your feed. There just doesn’t appear to be any way to get around the high cost of living in a time when the farmers are suffering because of low prices for their products and the town folks are digging deeper and deeper for what they buy in the retail markets. Maybe it will come to the point \9heifi everybody in town will have to move back to the farm. That would be something. Perhaps every body would starve then, with gov ernment warehouses loaded with surplus food. Another suggestion of some wise brother is to the effect that they will soon be growing food by ato mic energy. By that time every body will have a pantry in the glove compartment of their car, and we can just reach in and eat our lunch on the way to the horse races. Luke Z.

YOUR VOTE IS NEEDED An Editorial Since the first notice, calling for a vote as to whether bonds hall be issued for the construction of a hospital appeared in this paper, people have shown a great deal of interest. The legal notice, inserted by Charles W. Boling, R. D. Garrett and John Day, Commissioner* of Roads and Revenues, Forsyth County, outlines the procedure inr which the vote is to be carried out as well as the amount of money needed before the modern hospital becomes a reality. It is this legal notice, lacking in detail in regards to the actual presentation of the needs of the community, the benefits to be derived thereof, which has caused a great deal of talk about the coming elec tion; plus silly rumors to circulate throughout the county. Talk of the voting date being set for December 3r\i, and the amount of the bondi being voted (on, can be accepted as being correct and important to member. Unimportant is the rumor spreading around "A charge of fifty dollars will be required before anyone can gain admission into the hospital” and it should be considered poor taste to listen to it, let alone believe it. It is this kind of talk which may affect the future of each! and every one of us and hinder the growth of our county. Thus it is fitting and in order that an explanation, outlining the principles involved in the election issue, the benefits to be derived by) each and every one of us in the county when we vote FOR.ISSUE OF! $150,000 HOSPITAL BONDS, and the contributing factois behind this movement, should be forthcoming. When the voting polls open in all the voting precints in Forsyth’ County at 7:00 A. M. on the 3rd day of December, the qualified, voter* of this county underwrite only a third of the total amount of money, necessary to construct a modern hospital. The hospital that is contend plated being erected in Forsyth County is an offspring of the Hill Bre ton Act. This congressional act is a Federal Law, now in effect, To* help rural communities where additional facilities are needed to taJtei care of the sick and needy. Under the clauses of the Hill-Burton Act, the Federal Government assumes responsibility of one-third of the costs; the State of Georgia also incurs one-third of the cost and the remaining one-third is accepted by the citizens of Forsyth County. Now, it can be clearly seen the total cost of the hospital will amount to $450,000.00! Picture a hospital with the finest in architectural construction and embodied with the lat est of equipment at only one-third of the cost to the citizens of oun. community. It is really seeing a dream come true! Your vote FOR THE ISSUE OF HOSPITAL BONDS will not work a hardship on any, individual living in Forsyth County. The details of how this bond is t® be paid off is clearly outlined in the legal notice as it appears in th® FORSYTH COUNTY NEWS legal ad column. Also to be remembered is the fact that the Federal Government ha* found the Hill-Burton Act has proved very successful throughout the entire country. It has relieved the hardship rural people have been con fronted with for years. A hospital supervised by able personnel, mak ing available medical attention at moderate fees, operating clinics fo» those who are under-priviledgegd without profit, is the answer to a growing community. . * ' ‘ ' The representatives of the federal government, the State govern ment and the Commissioners of Roads and Revenues for Forsyth Coun ty understand the problem, and are acting. Consideration has been giv en to the medical services available to many of the people residing In and around Cumming, but when looking to the future find this to be inadequate. It is with no thought in mind of hindering the medical scrvices’ already in operation in Cumming that this election is being presented to the people, but with the thought in mind of greatly im proving the service to the citizens of ttyis community with sight into future when the population of this county will be more than tripled. The groundwork for the erection of a modern hospital, suitable to tho njeeds of an expanding community, has been presented to you for your approval; it is necessary that you vote FOR ISSUE OF HOSPI TAL BONDS on December 3rd; make it a reality by voting and tellingj your friends to also vote. The help of the Federal government plus the State government depends upon your vote; because only in this way can a hospital, calling for an expenditure of $450,000, be built at a price idf $150,000 for the people living in Forsyth County. Should there be any further question about voting on December 3rd, FOR ISSUE OF HOSPITAL BONDS? Isn’t it comforting to know the hospital will be operated on a non-profit basis the benefits going to you THE PEOPLE LIVING IN FORSYTH COUNTY!
