The Forsyth County News OFFICIAL ORGAN OF FORSYTH COUNTY & CITY OF CUMMING DEVOTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF FORSYTH, FULTON. CHERO KEE, DAWSON, LUMPKIN, HALL AND GWINNETT COUNTIES. (City Population 2,500) THE TRAGEDY OF NEGLECT The Bible calls attention always to the big questions of life—For ex ample. "If a man die shall he live again?”; "Is thine heart right with God?” “What shall it profit a man | if he gain the whole world and j lose his own soul, or what shall a I man give in exchange for his soul? j "What is your life?” or “What must I do to be saved”? or “How | shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation?”. The whole world is a battlefield covered over with the wrecks oc casioned by neglect. Those who in life’s morning neglect proper hab its, proper training, proper disci pline and go out unprepared for the big battle of life. Look into the realm of health the doctor tells you to seek another climate and follow his prescription but you hope against hope—the doctor is called again this time with serious face he finds that you are in the grip of an awful disease —brought on by neglect. If we will but gice ourselves for a little while to memory, every Christian’s heart is touched with a twinge of deepest sorrow, as you have come trooping back to you the memories of neglected duties, of opportunities forfeited, of privi leges that have been allowed to slip away unimproved, which privi leges are gone now and shall be returnless forever. We have passed by people. We have neglected peo ple; We have forgotten people who have blessed our lives. May I speak to the man or wo man, boy or girl who is not a Christian at all. The tragedy of neglect in your case is indeed ap palling. What is involved. Your sal vation is involved. Christ Jesus came down from Heaven, and he comes yet to give us his great sal vation. He would not only save our souls, or spirits; Christ would save our lives, bodies, brains, influence and personality. He would save us completely, entirely leaving nothing out. Christ came to save us from sin unto righteousness, from self ishness unto magninuity annd larg eness and nobleness. Christ came to save us from the small to the large, from defeat to triumph, from might to day, from hell to heaven. Getting to heaven is very import ant, but Christ means a great deal more than that. Christ came to fit you for your work here and now. Christ does not come to crib and coffin and confine you in some little, ignoble superficial unworthi ly life. He takes from your life only that which poisons and maims and kills. The sanest thing on the face of this earth is to be a friend of Jesus Christ. There are three reasons why you should stop your neglect; 1. It is unreasonable to neglect so great salvation. The squirrel prepares for the future by storing away nuts; the Ant stores away food. We must remember that an accounting time is coming. 2. The neglect of your soul’s wel fare is not right toward God. The creature has no right to say to the creator, “ I have no need of you.” It is not right to yourself. No human being should fling life away and debauch it, and prostitute it, and trifle with it. Your neglect of your soul is not right toward any body else. A man’s miconscious in fluence has the largest power of all. 3. Your neglect is not safe—you are going to die. Life is maimed and crippled no matter whose the life, if you presume to live it with out God. W. R.

Cumming Georgia, Thursday, June 14, 1956 State’s New Flaer To Wave At The Conventions ATLANTA,—(GPS) Georgia’s handsome new state flag, which bears the state seal and the Con federate battle flag, will have proudly over both the Democratic National Convention, beginning Aug. 13 in Chicago, and the Re publican National Convention, open ing Aug. 20 in San Francisco. This became assured the other day when Frank G. Etheridge, At lanta real estate man and a dele gate to the Democratic convention, formally presented one of the regu lar size benners to GOP State Chairman W. B. Shartzer through courtesy of the Georgia Demo Party. Shartzer said he would carry the new Georgia flag in one hand and the American flag in the other when he leads the state delegation in a floor parade at San Francisco. State Demo Party Chairman John Sammons Bell says he personally will carry the flag to Chicago. Bell, himself, conceived the Idea for the colorful new flag, adopted by the Legislature. Dollar Value of Georgia Game & Fish Cited by Griffin THOMSON, Ga.,—(GPS) A large gathering of sportsmen from all over the state attending the Little River Valley Wild Life Federaion’s third annual meeting, just held in Thomson, heard Gov. Marvin Grif fin describe Georgia’s game and fish industry as a great natural re source; one that adds substantial sums to the income of Georgians each year and attracts many visit ors to the state. “Each year several million dol lars come into the trade channels of our merchants, businessmen and others from the sportsmen who come here to enjoy the matchless fishing and hunting we can pro vide,” he said. “The Little River Valley Wild Life Federation is setting a good example for the sports lovers in other parts of the state. This group j came intor formation as a direct , result of the construction of the j Clark Hill Dam on the Savannah River. “When this dam was completed it backed its waters up into the tributaries in this part of the state forming numerous lakes which are available to fishermen. The Federa i tion was named for one of the streams that feed the reservoir and it now has more than 5,000 memb ers in ten clubs in the district.” The Governor said the State Game and Fish Department has fostered the organization of fishing and hunting clubs throughout Geor gia and “is doing an excellent job” in providing fish from its hatch eries for stocking lakes and streams. “In recent years several big dams have been completed and at the present time some others are under construction,” Griffin continued. “Among those finished are dams at Clark Hill, Buford and Alla toona. Another big dam recently was completed near Milledgeville, while the Jim Woodruff Dam on the Georgia-Florida line is about finished. New construction is plan ned at Hartwell and Fort Gaines. “As a result of the construction of fish ponds by our farmers and the building of the dams on the rivers, Georgia now ranks among the top states of the nation in the possession of lakes. The many fish ponds are valuable in soil conserva tion programs as well as furnish ing fish for consumption by farm ers’ families as an important food crop.” Congratulating the federation for “the fine programs carried out each year,” Gov. Griffin said “this activity is an inspiration to all who desire to conserve our vast natural resources and at the same time supply good recreation for our people.” Extension poultry specialist re commend use of 30 hanging type tubular feeders for every 1,00 broil ers Day Camp Has 83 Enrolled First Session Eighty-three campers have begun the first session of a three week day camp.

JUNE DATES TO REMEMBER The month of June holds several dates which every citizen of this county should always remember, these occurences have affected the history of this nation and he lives otf its citizens. On June 26th, 1917, a small body of United States troops landed in France. These were the first troops which had ever left this nation to engage in a foreign war on the Continent of Europe. They, of course, preceded the millions of men who made up the American Expeditionary Force. Their recept ion was enthusiastic and their ef fect upon French morale consider able. During the first World War, ora June 6th, 1918, occured the famous counter-attack of the American Second Division, with its Marine Brigade which stopped the German offensive at Chateau Thierry. This check to the enemy was followed by the beginning of an advance along the entire Allied line and is considered a special contribution to the saving of Paris and the termi nation of the First World War Nearly twenty-foui' years later, in the Pacific Ocean, on June sth. 1942, occurred the Battle of Mid way. This United States victory stopped the Japanese effort to ad vance across the ocean, adequately defended American positions from possible enemy attack and inflicted several losses upon the ambitious and optimistic Japanese. The battle was largely one of carrier-based aircraft. The success of the Battle of Midway is considered the first decisive check of the Japanese of fensive in the Pacific. Nearly two years later, to the day, on June 6th, 1944, in the airly hours of the morning, thousands of American paratroops dropped behind the German lines in Nor mandy. A few hours later, a mam moth naval assault paved the wav for the landing of thousands of British and American soldiers. This undertaking was of a magnitude unequalled in the past history of war. A victory of tremendous signific ance, it gave the Anglo-Americans a foothold on the Continent of Europe, and a base from which begin the victorious drive which ended in Germany with the collapse of the German armies. There are other historic events which occurred in the month of June, but space does not permit calling attention to all of them. It is well, however, for the patriotic Americans to recall, from time to time, the stirring events which have occurred in the history of their nation. To The People Of Forsyth County I have definately decided to make the race for State Senator in the September 12th Primary. *My announcement will appear in the next issue of the Forsyth, County News.
