BIBLE TRUTHS
Emphazing Certain Bible Truths
To The Neglect of Other
Bible Truths
The emphasis is rightly upon
regeneration, once saved always
saved and a home in heaven —but
no emphasis or not enough em
phasis is placed upon stewardship
of life, time, influence and money.
The training and teaching duties
of the churches are sadly neglected.
The Great Commission that Christ
gave to his followers is not being
carried out faithfully by many of
our churches.
The mission of the church is
Missions. Jesus said, "As the Fath
er hath sent me into the world
even so send I you into the world.”
We are Christ’s representatives!
sending the gospel to the utter
most parts of the world is just
as important a Bible doctrine as
regeneration. Jesus gave us a de
finite command to that affect.
“And he said unto them Go ye into
all the world, and preach the gos
pel to every creature”. Also in
Acts 1:8. “ and ye shall be
witnesses unto me both in Jeru
salem (at home) and in all Judea
(state missions) and in Samaria
and unto the uttermost part of
the earth” (Foreign Missions)
Wherever man is found that is
where we are to go with the good
news of salvation that God brings
to the individuals who put their
faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour
and Lord.
"The tithe is the Lord’s". The
first fruits of our increase belong
;to the Lord—not the left-overs.
There are many professing Christ
| ians who spend more on smoking
tobacco than they give to the
church of the living God. There
are other Christians w'ho spend
more on the movies or chewing
gum and candy than they ever
give to the church. Can that per
son be serious when he claims to
be a faithful Christian. You can
judge a man’s sincerity, as a
Christian, by what he does w'ith
the money he has in his possession.
Tithing is taught in the Old Testa
ment and is indorsed by Jesus
himself in Matt. 23 : 23 “-- these
ought ye to have done, and not to
leave the other undone”.
My point is that we should be
lieve all of the teachings of the
Bible and not just emphasize two
or three main truths and neglect
or disregard the other truths.

Home Food Supply
On Georgia Farms
Better Than Ever
Rural Georgians are eating bet
ter than ever, if records of Home
Demonstration and 4 H Club mem
bers are an indication of how farm
larders are being stocked.
More than nine and one-half
million quarts and younds of food
were canned or frozen lost year
through the combined efforts of
HD and 4-H Club members, home
demonstration agents, Agricultural
Extension Service specialists, local
leaders and others to improve nu
tritional standards.
Miss Nelle Thrash, Extension
Service food preservationist,, said
during 1956 suggestions on plan
ning and producing the home food
supply were given 60,870 families
and assistance in food preservation
and storage of food was provided
f0r57,840 families representing 139
counties.
Leader training meetings, can
ning workshops, food preservation
clinics, county food freezing schools
food preservation contests, canning
budgets, and demonstrations were
some of the techniques used in
the program. In leader training
meetings, Extension specialists and
home demonstration agents teach
local HD Club food preservation
project chairmen better methods
so that they, in turn, can help
teach others. Asa result, local
leaders gave 715 demonstrations to
adult groups and 750 demonstrat
ions for 4-H’ers. Adults canned
2.710,489 quarts and froze 5,755,113
pounds of food. More than 9,000
families used facilities at locker
| plants and 27,113 reported having
| home freezers.
Four-H girls with frozen foods
land canning projects helped line
[the pantry shelves and home freez
| ers with jars, packages, and cans
|of food, too. In 19566, six district
4-H project achievement meetings
J were held and 28 senior and 46
I junior 4-H members participated
jin the canning projects.
Beginning on a county level, the
j girls vie for honors in canning and
frozen food projects. Four-H’ers
! with canning projects then parti
i cipate in district meetings and
from these events six champions
, are chosen who attend the annual
I State 4-H Congress in Atlanta
where a state winner is selected.
Frozen foods district winners are
[determined by records only.
June Fletcher, Irvin county, was
state w'inner in the canning pro
jject this ytar, sponsored in the
state by Dixie Crystals, Savannah
Sugar Refining Corporation, and
nationally by Keer Glass Manu
facturing Company. June will be
among the 30 delegates from Geor
gia to National 4-H Congress in
Chicago this month the trip pro
vided by the national sponsor. Six
national winners will be chosen at
the Chicago event and each of
them will be presented a S4OO
college scholarship.
Martha Culver. Hancock county,
is frozen foods winner and also
will meke the trip to Chicago.
Whirlpool-Segar Corporation spon
sors this project- giving exxpense
paid trips to both State and Nat
ional 4-H Congress. Eix S3OO schol
arships will be given to national
winners.
Last year anew canning project
was offered—the cloverleaf canning
project for girls 10 and 11. Dixie
Crystals also sponsors this event.
Miss Ehrash cited these as high
lights of the 1956 food preservation
programs offered both youth and
adults; there was an increase in
canning and freezings; freezing
meats increased; higher quality
canned products were displayed at
county and state fairs this year
and more educational exhibits were
offered to tell the story of food
preservation; there was a smaller
percentage of spoilage in 1956. The
specialist said work was done to
help families who do not produce
their own food supply to buy at
bargain prices and preserve foods.
Advice to engaged couples from

Morgan, Agricultural Extension Ser
vice: premarital counseling helps
couples to understand factors
which contribute to harmonious
marriage.

SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE
Farms visited by Eddie Reese,
SCS farm planner, recently showed
a number of acres that needed
treatment as critical areas. Critical
area treatment was included in
developing a complete soil and
water conservation plan of Wayne
Cory of Route 3, Cumming. This
treatment includes the development
of a grassed waterway to catch
excess terrace water. This water
way will be 1000 feet long and 50
to 75 feet wide. Additional areas
to be treated included areas left
bare by removal of top soil for
road purposes.
Another farm visited by Mr.
Reese included that of Mrs. C. W.
Bailey who has two acres of criti
cal area that will be planted to
pine trees.
Arlivia Barron has developed a
complete soil and water conser
vation plan with the assistance
of Mr. Reece.

ASC Program Helps
Karmers Pay For
Changing Land Use
Farmers with land which they
want to retire from production
should find the Soil Bank’s Con
servation Reserve program of par
ticular benefit in .shifting such land
to other uses, John F. Bradley,
administrative officer of the State
Agricultural Stabilization and Con
servation Committee, said today.
In the past, Bradley explained,
many owners have been unable
to shift land out of crops because
they could not afford to lose the
income from the land and at the
same time assume new expense in
establishing the alternate ust.
The Conservation Reserve, ac
cording to Bradley, meets this
problem by providing two kinds
of payments to farmers who parti
cipate in the program. For remov
ing general cropland from product
ion and establishing thereon such
practices as grass cover or a stand
of trees, farmers may earn annua!
payments during the life of the
contract which gives them some
income from the land -and they
may also earn up to 80 percent
of the cost of establishing the
conservation practice.
Benefits of the program continue
even after the term of the contract,
the administrative officer points
out. Trees produce forest products;
shrubs continue to provide shelter
and food for wildlife, and grass
can be used for grazing.
Practices encouraged under the
Conservation Reserve program in
Georgia and the rates of payment
available for carrying them out
include permanent vegetative grass
es, legumes, and tree cover at 80
percent of the estimated cost.
The signup under the 1958 Con
servation program is now under
way and farmers who wish to take
part in the program or who wish
further information should call at
or get in touch with their County
ASC Office.
Engineers at the Agricultural
Extension Service recommend the
use of electric heating cables or
tapes to prevent exposed pipes and
faucets from freezing during cold
snaps.

WE COUNT OUR BLESSINGS
Ths is Thanksgiving a happy, happy time.
This is the day we count our blessings, and
they are many indeed. Freedom and friend
ship, liberty and loved ones, riches and respon
sibility, good health and God’s favor.
We remember those blessings; and in remem
bering, we give reverent thanks to the Father
of All Men for guiding us and for making us
prosper.
In remembering, we resolve, too, to share our
blessings -with our neighbors the whole world
over. For this is our prme responsibility; to
recll that all men are our brothers and, poten
tially, our friends. We can break the fetters
of the enslaved and cleanse the spirits of the
deluded only by bringing to all mankind the
great vision of freedom under God; a vision
which has been our cherished heritage for many
generations.
Georgia Grows
As Year-round
Tourist State
The Georgia Department of Com
cerce’s national advertising pro
gram aimed at attracting tourists
to this state is paying off in big
dividends.
The program, carried out under
the ddirection of Commerce Secre
j tary Scott Candler, has convinced
j a lot of people in a lot of places
I hat Georgia is one of the finest
year-round vacation states in the
[entire country.
Evidence of this is seen in a
study just made by Assistant Com
merce Secretary Nelson M. Shipp,
who handles the department’s tour
ist inquiries and correspondence.
Here’s what he had to say about
it:
“Our tourist mail throughout the
year shows very little slackening
from month to month. Different
people like to visit Georgia at dif
ferent times for different reasons,
thereby tending to distribute the
tourist visitation at a pretty even
level throughout the year.
“This is a decided advantagt for
motel, hotel and restaurant oper
ators who cater to out-of-state
travelers. This is unlike similar
business in really cold-weather
states,, such as New England and
others where tourist travel drops
off sharply during their zero
weather months.
“But here in Georgia, we have
summer tourist and winter tour
ists, fall and spring tourists. And
because of that, we are becoming
known the world over as ont of
the finest tourist states in America.
While there are no official fig
ures available just now to back
it up, Shipp believes that, with
the exception of Florida, Georgia
leads all othe Southeastern states
in tourist volume, both in the
number of visitors and in the
amount of money they spend while
in the state.
He estimates that some ten mil
lion tourists visit Georgia annual
ly. While here, they spend more
than S3OO-million, Shipp further
estimates.
In connection with the money
spent by tourists, here’s a break
down on how the American Auto
mobile Assn, says the tourist dol
lar goes: transportation cost, 20
cents; food and lodging, 41 cents;
retail purchases, 25 cents; confect
ioners and wayside stands, six
.cents; theaters and other amuse
ments, eight cents.

BIG FISH SUPPER
There will be a benefit Fish
Supper at the High School Cafe
torium for the Boy Scouts on
Monday night December 2. from
6 to 8:30 P. M.
The supper is sponsored by the
Kiwanis Club to raise money for
Scout work.
In the past people have been
asked for donations, so this year
the Scouts need money, but want
to give their friends something
in return.
If the Scouts do not contact
you come on to the High School,
you can get a ticket then.
There will be plenty of fresh
speckled trout, hush puppies and
all the trimmings. Do a good
turn, buy a ticket.
For maximum winter grazing,
oats should be fertilized with 80 to
100 pounds of actual nitrogen per
acre. This recommendation is from
J R Johnson, agronomist-project
leader. Agricultural Extension Ser
vice.
