Advertising Rales Made Known Upon Application OFFICIAL ORGAN OF FOItSYTII COUNTY AND CITY OF CUMMING NATIONAL EDI TO RIAL CHURCHES AND PEOPLE Every once in a while you run across a citi zen of GUMMING who tries to impress you with the broadness of his religious viewpoint by taking a pot-shot at the churches of the nation. The speaker will tell about helping other Biuman beings in distress, and exhibit every sign of an assumed superiority over those who wor c'mp in organized churches in the name of their leligion. It is rather seldom that these talkers realize matt without the organized churches of the past, il is highly improbable that they would know very much about religion. It is worse than that. Without the organized churches of tthe past, there is doubt if our present civilization would be even vaguely as good as it is. The critics of the church are quite willing to accept the fruits of its work, but they are not always just enough u give credit. ATTAIN PERSONAL SATISFACTION There was a day, not so long ago. when every *. ung American v, as assured that he had a chance to become President of the L nited States and. if he failed in that, at the worst, he would probably make a million dollars. The result of this teaching has probaly been evil. The generations that have grown on such -uotions have been inclined to grab lor them sdves and get all that the law allows, and some of Ihe fiuit that the law prohibits. it is about time that education includes the idea that an individual attains satisfaction, not by getting everything or the highest honors tVy himself, or herself, but by serving society in his m her place, with distinction. The development if men and women into intelligent creatures, /ilh an understanding of human nature, is a task that most of us complete late in life, if at all Maybe, by starting early with the youngsters, we could help them attain a greater goal earlier in life, and that, we admit, is what life is intend ed to accomplish. SELF-CONTROL AND HAPPINESS • The peace and happiness of the average citi zen does not depend upon the amount of money tc or she possesses, the number of organizations U which he or she belongs, or the outcome of yjuy great social struggle. The contentment that makes for human hap jdr.eiis is within the reach o fevery individual vho is able to face life with a philosophy that calves personal problems. The acceptance and i practice of religious tenets often provides the whether these religious beliefs are ad as an individual or as a member of some 2 dligiaus organization. The capacity of the individual for self-control, Itowever, is the real key to happiness and con lanlnient. It is a product that you cannot buy, tl , receive as a gift. It is, nevertheless, within reach of all -but oftentimes, is attained by very few. The Forsyth County News The person who smiles throughout the day doesn’t have sense enough to know what’s going on, or else too much to care. If you seldom convince friends in discussions, one of two things is wrong. Either you can’t calmly present your ideas, or you don’tt see .he other side of the argument. The accomplishments of a community, like GUMMING, are limited only by the willing ness of its citizens to work for the commond good. MIKOYAN IKE STANDOFF The recent meeting between President Eisen lower and First Deputy Premier Anastas I. Mikoyan lesulted in a standoff. It is now clear hat both exhibited a friendly personality, and vvarmth, but both held the line. President Eisenhower, bulwarked by Secre tary of State John Foster Dulles and the Ameri can Ambassador to Moscow, who had been called home, held his ground. When Mikoyan suggested that the Soviet Union had not issued an ultimatum concerning Berling and awaited U. S. proposals on solving the Berling problem, Mr. Eisenhower reiterated this country’s inten tion to stand firms, and not be pushed out of Berlin. In addition, Mr. Eisenhower suggested that there had been no Berlin problem until the Rus sian move in November and that, therefore, the present problem had been created by Moscow, and could be solved by Moscow. In spite of the fact that the meeting was a standoff, Washington observers expect some ort of consultation, perhaps on a top-level plane to be held this Spring or thereabouts. But as far a sthe recent Ike-Mikovan meeting, both men had been well briefed, offered no new or sensational solutions or concessions, and it was apparently merely a case of “grinning on guard. For once, apparently, the naive character of vmerican officials did not produce gullibility. THESE ARE THE FACTS about Senate Bill No. 30, to “redefine rural areas”, in the General Assembly The bill simply gives Georgia's Rural Electrics the right to continue seiving their own customers who happen to live in areas which are annexed to cities, and to serve such new cus tomers who build on the lines in these annexed areas and re quest service, and provides that Rural Electric service within such city limits shall be only in annexed areas, where lines presently exist The bill does not authorize the Rural Electrics to take customers from any city or power utility. It does not seek to penalize or interfere with existing power supply of cities and towns. and the reasons we urge its passage. We now have 38,904 "idle services”, representing almost $8,000,- 000 in services built to serve customers no longer there We must preserve our existing investment, and we seek only to keep what we have bought and paid for (with money borrowed from the REA, which we are paying back with interest). We built our lines under a law offering the same opportunity to any qualified borrower. No one else would undertake the job. We were asked to bring service to the areas near the cities, and by so doing furthered their growth and progress, making them attractive for city limits expansion. The Rural Electrics of Georgia stand ready to meet the same franchise tax payment arrangements covering the customers it serves who be come city residents as those in effect between the cities and other power suppliers. NOW, OUR POSITION IS CLEAR WE MERELY' WISH TO BE ALLOWED TO KEEP WHAT WE HAVE WORKED LONG AND HARD TO BUILD THE RURAL ELECTRIC SYSTEMS OF GEORGIA FORSYTH COUNTY HOSPITAL AUXILLARY MEETS The Forsyth County Hospital Auxiliary meeting was held Janu ary 29th in the hospital dining room with 17 members present.
