Advertising Rates Made Known Upon Application OFFICIAL ORGAN OF FORSYTH COUNTY AND CITY OF CUMMING NATIONAL EDITORIAL bwii'imii nni 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. and |S| 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.
