Farmers were urged by the Ex tension director to make use of the publication in increasing yields and decreasing production costs this year. The title of the circular is “Growing Cotton. ” Free copies are available from county agents. Written by J. R. Johnson, Ex tension agronomist and projeeet leader, and W. H. Sell, Extension agronomist-cotton, the publication outlines the latest recommendations on soil selection, soil preparation, pre-emergence weed control, fer tilization, varieties and planting, insect control, cultivation, defoilia tion, and harvesting. Fallss kill some 2,000 persons on the farm each year. Studies show that about 700 occur in the course of work around the home. The Forsyth County News OFFICIAL ORGAN OF FORSYTH COUNTY £ CITY OF CUMMING DEVOTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF FORSYTH, FULTON, CHERO REE, DAWSON, LUMPKIN, HALL AND GWINNETT COUNTIES. (City Population 2,500) “BECAUSE I LIVE, YE SHALL LIVE ALSO” These words were spoken to the followers of Christ. I wonder if we really comprehend the mean ing and significance of the resur rection of Christ from the grave. Do we really see the complete victory he has won over death, hell, and the grave? Jesus gave a very definite promise to his fol lowers when he said, “Because I live, ye shall live also.” Do* not look for Christ in the grave, “He is not here,, but is risen.” In this one fact there is hope eternal for everyone who be lieves in Jesus Christ as his or her personal savior. As the women reported the fact that he was risen to the others it seemed to them “as idle tales, and they be lieved them not.” But Peter soon became aroused and went and saw for himself, "aand departed wond ering.” The days were dark during the last days of Jesus on earth and it ended by placing him in the tomb. Friday, only two short days be fore, was a day marked by hate, defeat, darkness, and death. But Sunday dawned and became for ever a day of love, victory, light, and life! Quimby reminds us that the New Testament was a result of the Resurrection, - "which could never have been written about a dead Jesus, for them there would have been only defeat and death to record a tragedy not worth re telling.” But we must not remain at the Cross, for the reason that each of us has his own cross to bear nor may we remain at the Empty Tomb, for the reason that it is no end of a journey, - it is the start. It is the signal that “repentence and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations.” We may visit the mountain tops but life is proved in the valleys. Without Christ our hope is dead. Christ was the only perfect person to ever occupy a grave, but he arose from that grave to live for evermore and in him we live for ever. W. R. Callaway Change Made In Pay Phones In Buford Beginning Thursday, April 12, Buford subscribers using pay sta tion telephones will hear two dial tones at different intervals accord ing to L.

Newton FOR JANIE’S SAKE This about a little blind girl, and TV. The little girl lives with her parents, brothers and sisters, on an East Tennessee farm, miles from the nearest village. The fath er and mother, though having to guard carefully every dollar, had thought often that they would like to make a sacrifice and get a TV set for the children, hut they wondered about Jane, blind from birth • how she would react to something she couldn’t ennjoy with the other children. Then one day, during Christmas holideys, they fixed up and went off to spend the day with rel atives. And they had a TV. Janie seemed more impressed than any of the other children. On the way home that afternoon, she said to her mother: “Wish we had a TV.” That settled it. The father got up a load of shotes, and got a TV. The mother got the other child ren aside and went through a plan by which one after another of them would read the legends to Janie. The first night it was in, the family sat in a circle, watching every program. They started read ing the legends to Janie. “If you don’t mind,” she said, “I believe I had rather imagine what the legends are. I get enough from the spoken parts and the music to fill in pretty well.” Then came the week before Easter, and a beautiful program was telling again the story of ever lasting life. The family closed their eyes, forgot what the legends were, and listened to Janie as she recited, verse after verse, the 24th chap ter of Luke. The picture ended, and another program was coming on. The mother tip toed to the TV and turned it off. Janie kept quoting: “And He led them out as far as to Bethany, and He lifted up His hands, and blessed them. And it came to pass while He blessed them, He was parted from them, and carried into heaven. And they worshipped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy." There was silence for a mom ent, Janie still holding her hands toward heaven. Then she said: “Do you see Him? Mother, do you see Him?” The Weslyan Service Guild Held Monthly Meeting April 3rd.

GEORGIA ATOM PLANE PROJECT NEAR DAWSONVILLE TO BEGIN MAY or JUNE The building of the Georgia Atom Plane project near DawsonvtllH scheduled to start building in late .May or early June was confirmed in Gainesville Monday night by Lockheed Aireraft Cor|M>ration and the Air Foree of plans to erect the nation's largest facility for the research and development of atomlc-powerd aircraft. Mr. Dan Haughton, Lockheed I vice president and Georgia Division general manager, said the buildings and equipment “will ultimately comprise one of the world’s finest laboratories for aircraft nuclear re search. He stated that construction will begin as soon as possible. “We hope it will be in May or June.” The announcement confirmed de tails of the tremendously important project carried one day last week in Atlanta’s dally papers. Located in a rugged, mountain ous section southwest of Dawson ville, the facility will employ some 500 persons—mostly scientists and engineers. The Lockheed scientists said em phatically the facility will not be dangerous to area residents and streams will not be polluted. The aircraft company was one of the first to contract directly with the Air Force for nuclear airplane work. Mr. Haughton stated, "Top scien tific and aeronautical talent will be harnessed to this project because approach to the production of at omic-powered planes is completely different in many ways from the approach to today’s convention air eraft.” The project will cost between 50 and 100 million dollars and it will be confined initially to research for a new, lighter-weight shield to withstand radiation. PLANE FRAME IS GOAL Ultimately the goal is to develop the frame of an atomic plane. A similar project which has been un der way at the Convair Division of General Dynamics Corporation at Fort Worth, Texas for four years is being continued. Pratt & Whitney Division of the United Aircraft Corporation will be associated with Lockheed in the Dawsonville project. Pratt & Whit ney has been designing an atomic engine. Scientists say an atomic airplane could circle the globe in darkness, keeping pace with the earth’s ro tation. It could fly 80 times around the globe on one pound of uranium fuel. Weight of the protective shield for such a plane is a major prob lem-atomic engines now powering a submarine are 100 times too heavy for aircraft use. Officials said no radiation from research reactors will be detectable at the boundaries of the site, nor will any laboratoris be visible from the boundaries. Mr. Robert E. Gross, Lockheed president, said his company "will not call upon the Air Foce alone to provide the financing needed to adapt our Georgia operations for atomic aircraft work. Congressman Phil Landrum de scribed the Dawsonville project as “one of many vital links in the nation’s defense line.” Brig. Gen. Bruce Holloway re presenting Air Force Secretary Quarles, said atomic planes “will enhance the Air Force’s efforts in promoting peace.” Governor Marvin Griffin promis ed "every assistance in carrying for th this great undertaking.” Lockheed announced earlier the moving of nuclear research activi ties from Burbank, California to the Marietta plant. Some of the Burbank scientists and engineers will work at the Dawsonville pro ject and others at the Marietta plant. FREEZER PACKING COUNTS Home freezers should not be, counted upon to maintain quality of food all by themselves. Packag ing plays a vital roole, too. Main purpose in wrapping food or pack aging it before it is frozen is to keep food from drying out. It pays to use good quality material in the long run. Packaging materials that won’t let in moisture or hold vapor next to the food are needed for food to taste fresh.
