TIME - MOST VALUABLE POSSESSION
v *j
Did you ever slop and tty to think of the most
valuable thing 1 on earth? Is it a diamond? Is it
gold? Some say it would be power, riches or
friends
You might thing it would be love. Certainly,
faith and love, which are tied closely together,
are the greatest virtues, of which there are many
like unselfishness, sincerity, kindness, etc.
But what is the one most valuable thing? Dis
missing faith, which transcends all else, of
course, what is there left more valuable than
anything else? What is worth more than any
thing - other than faith?
Time. Time’s the most valuable thing you
own. The amount of it you have left may depend
on you. A strange thing about time is that rich
people cannot buy it. They can sometimes ex
tend it with medical care, but just as often their
riches actually reduce the supply of it they have,
by inducing wrong living, or by causing violence,
or attracting danger.
When you waste aa day, or a week, you will
never recover those hours and days. They have
been spent never to return, and if you learned
nothing in that time, failed to improve yourself
in some way, or failed to better your position in
life, you lived wastefully in that time.
In spite of all man’s inventions, and know
ledge, lie can still do little with time. Time was
the subject which probably fascinated the late
Alitfirt Einstein most of all. It brings about life,
causes death, makes plans and animals grow,
lakes care of everything - . Time will heal any
wound, will solve any problem, if applied in
.great, enough measure.
if man could ever capture the secret of the
savages of time, he could prolong life, perhaps
slop the process of aging.
HEALTH COMMANDMENTS
The following ten commandments, given by
the pastor of a metropolitan church some time
.ago, might prove interesting and helpful to
•some of us here in FORSYTH COUNTY. Read
them over carefully, one • r more of them might
apply to you:
“l. Honor your parents by having a thorough
physical examination every birthday; for an
unce of prevention is worth a ton of cure.
“2. Honor your friends bytaking a daily bath;
tar clanliness is u part of godliness.
Honor your family by having yyour life
tujured; for life insurance guarantees to co
o|>eration of the insurer in the prolongation of
lbs life of the insured.
*‘L Honor your physician by avoiding patent
nedicines; for the most of these nostrums are
fcumJbugs.
Honor your digestion by being careful
*f jrom* diet; for many a man digs his grave
with. his teeth.
“6. Honor your stomach by having your teeth
carefiilly examined by, a dentist at regular in
tervals; for bad teeth are an abomination to the
system.
“7. Honor your lungs by breathing fresh air;
ior ventilation is a means of grace.
The Forsyth County New*
“8. Honor your nerves by taking plenty of
rest in sleep; for they who work all day and
play all night promote the brevity of their lives
by burning the candle at both ends.
“9 Honor your county by obeying the laws;
for it is a mark of good citizenship to obey a
law whether one likes it or not.
‘TO. Honor your God by chastity in word,
thought and deed; for the race that wishes eter
nity must exalt matemiety.”
FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT
The thirty-second President of the United
States will be one of the most well-remembered
Presidents in the uages of history. For, whether
one was for him or against him, he was the first
man to be elected President four times.
And, whether one thinks his administrations
were good for the country or bad fo rthe coun
try, the social changes and governmental pro
grams instituted in the Roosevelt “era” were
so vast as to affect every American.
And whether one admired or depreciated
Roosevelt, he was one of the most colorful lead
ers in the history of our county as the chief of
state leading the United States into and in
World War 11, as the man nursing the country
back to life, out of the worst depression in his
tory, etc.
Roosevelt was born January 30th at Hyde
Park, on the Hudson, in New York State. Of
Dutch descent, Roosevelt attended Harvard and
Columbia and was elected Senator from the
Dutchess County district in New York and serv
ed two terms. In 1912 he was a delegate to the
1912 Democratic convention which nominated
Woodrow Wilson. Wilson made him assistant
Secretary of the Navy in 1913.
In 1920 he was nominated for the Vice Presi
dency. In 1924 and 1928 he made the nominat
ing speech for A1 Smith, as the Democratic presi
dential candidate. In that same year Roosevelt
ran for Governor in New York and was elected.
He was reelected in 1930. In 1932 he was nomi
nated for President, and swamped Herbert
Hoover in November of that year. From then
until his death, April 12th, 1945 - months be
fore the end of World War II he was President
of the United States, and when he died, victory
was in sight. One thing can never be taken
away from the country’s thirty-second President
he was a champion in his field, unbeaten, the
nonpareil.

FISH U
*■-- - - ‘
By FULTON LOVELL
Director, Georgia Game & Fish Commission
"OOPS . . . MISSED AGAIN!"
4DMITTEDLY, all quail hunters are not good quail
hunters. Some folks just can’t seem to find the range,
regardless of practice.
One such fellow showed up on Mike Money
maker’s shooting preserve near Dacula the other
day and pumped seven boxes of ammunition
asp m *® into space before hagging his limit of birds.
Unlike many of us, however, the frus-
X trated shooter was not embarrassed.
“They just don’t fly as fast as I lead ’em,”
\ JSfkf he chided -
W|Vs Gun Shyness
W / Sometimes Overcome
imljw Some folks say that if a bird dog is gun shy
Fulton Lovell Y°U ma y as well sell U > give U away or pay
* someone to carry it off. I have talked with
several bird dog trainers and not all of them share that idea.
One trainer suggested a gradual introduction to gun noisc3.
Say a cap pistol fired at feeding time. Then, graduate to a .22
pistol and from there to a shotgun. By the time the dog has
finished this course, he should be cured of shyness.
Many avid quail hunters were alarmed, during the dry spell
awhile back, at the way their prize pointers “ran up” birds. Several
questions were put to me on the subject.
A dog’s nose is simply not up to par in that sort of weather
and his ability to smell declines. It is no wonder that he often
ranges to close to a covey and springs them before coming to
point. It is not the fault of the dog; blame it on the weather.
Forest Fire Problem Now Under Control
Speaking of dry weather, Guyton Del.oach and his State forestry
department and the entire game and fish department have their
Angers crossed on this forest fire problem.
So far this year, Georgia has skimmed through without the
horrible forest fires suffered in the past. Still, however, the prob
lem has been critical, especially during the long periods without rain.
Heavy fires swept northwest Georgia and a few broke out in
the northeastern part of the state. No big fires were reported in
the extreme southern part of the state.
* The Game and Fish Commission banned hunting in Fayette
county for two days due to fires but the remainder of the state
stayed open.
" We know a youngster whose favorite i emarxs
is, “'Why?” He shows some sense.
Every state in the Union boasts of its el™ate.
