CLEAN-UP - PAINT-UP & FIX-UP
The City of Gumming has and does have on
a Clean-up and Fix-up Campaign. Let’s every
one join in and make our City a prettier town
and a better place in which to live and help to
attract more people to our City and County.
Every citizen can help by cutting the grass,
cutting and cleaning dead limbs from the trees
and cutting weeds and grass from the side of
pavement and many others, such as cleaning
and clearing of rubbish.
By everyone pushing real hard we can make
our little City a wonderful place to live and our
children a place to be proud to play in.

Demonstration Week
✓
“What a rtian hears he may*
doubt, what he sees he may possi
bly doubt, but vyhat he does him
self he cannot 'doubt.”
That statement was made bv Dr.
Seeman Knapp, a founder of home
demonstration work. Dr. Knapp re
ferred to a crusade he began in
East Texas in 1903. There he per
suaded a farmer to “take a chance’
and run his farm exactly by advice
nd instruction coming from govern |
ment sttions and specialists. Towns !
people offered to repav the man j
whatever he might lose on the :
experiment.
At the end of the year the farm j
"paid off” S6OO more than it would
have had the farmer continued his
old practices. His neighbors saw j
this was true because they had j
continued to farm the old way and j
their income was S6OO lower than [
their friend’s. The Texas farmer
and Dr. Knapp had pioneered the j
way for Agricultural Extension j
work.
Then Dr. Knapp enlarged his
program to include women. He
gained their confidence by showing
their daughters better methods of
canning tomatoes in Girls’ Tomato
Canning Clubs. “You can’t go into
a man’s home and tell him you’ve
come to teach his wife how to
cook,” Dr. Knapp reasoned. “He’d
have to slam the door in your face
out of respect for his wife’s cook
ing—be it good or bad. But you
can go to a man’s house and say
vou’re interested in helping teach
his daughter better homemaking
practices.”
Home demonstration work has
come a long way since those days.
You may have heard about the
work, you may have seen some of
the results of the work conducted
by the Agricultural Extension Ser
vice, University of Georgia College
of Agriculture, but, may we sug
gest, borrowing from Dr. Knapp’s
philosophy, that until you partici
pate you may doubt the value of
the work.
This is National Home Demon
stration Week—a mighty good time
to join a local Home Demonstrat
ion Club. For details, call or see
your local home demonstration
agent.

CANCER IS
YOUR PROBLEM
1 In response to numerous re
quests from families, other groups
'and individuals, the American Can
cer Society has inaugurated a mem
orial fund to which families and
friends of cancer victims may con
tribute, according to Bob Brogdon,
chairman of the Forsyth County
Cancer Fund, A. C. S.
“The memorial fund has been
| established to provide a practical
j and fitting means by which fami-
I lies or friends can commemorate
] a loved one who has died of cancer
or other cause.” Brogdon said.
“Constributions made in memory
iof a family member o fa friend
j are acknowledge by the American
j Cancer Society, and a Memorial
| Card is sent to the family, other
| group or individual stating that a
i Memorial has been received and
! giving the name of the donor. The
I contributions may be in any
| amount and are tax deductable,
[ Brogdon said.
He said “Memorial funds are
' used in support of the Society's un
ceasing fight against cancer thru
coordinated programs of research,
education and service.
“Although the major source of
funds for these programs comes
from the Society’s annual Anril
Crusade, Memorial Gifts received
throughout the year are becoming
increasingly important to the So
ciety as more families and indivi
dauls become aware that they can
contribute in the name of a loved
one toward ultimate victory the
dread disease of cancer,” Brogdon
said.
“Although the major source of
funds for these programs comes
from the Society’s annual April
Crusade, Memorial Gifts received
throughout the year are becoming
increasingly important to the So
ciety as more families and indi
viduals become aware that they
can contribute in the name of a i
loved one toward ultmate victory
the dread disease of cancer,” Brog- I
don said.
“The American Cancer Society' J
is deeply grateful to families, other
groups and individuals of Cum- 1
ming and Forsy'th County woh
are using this practical means of
assisting the Society in expanding
counter-attack on cancer.
“Memorial funds should be sent
to the Forsyth County Cancer Fund
of the American Cancer Society',
Box 535 Cumming, Ga., Brogdon
said.
“The American Cancer Society
wants to make it clear,” Brogdon •
said, "that it is not the Society’s
policy to solicit memorial gifts in
lieu of flowers. The Society' has
no desire to be in competition with
legimate commercial ventures, and
certainly, if memorial gifts were
encouraged in lieu of flowers, it
would be competing with the Flor
ists.”

Safety Keynote
Four-H Club
Trac l or Project
Safetyy is in the driver’s seat
!as the 4-H tractor program rides
I into its 15th year of activity, says
jL. R. Dunson, state 4-H Club lead
er, Agricultural Extension Service,
University of Georgia College of
Agriculture.
Dunson and H. B. Goolsby, Ex
tension engineer, who work with
i county and home demonstration
agents and local 4-H leaders in
conducting the program said 5,079
club members are enrolled in the
project. Fatal tractor accidents
numbered 39 in Georgia last year
and 1.200 across the nation. There
were 48,000 accidents in the nation
which resulted from improper use
of tractors, Dunson and Goolsby
reported.
In addition to learning safe op
eration of a tractor, boys and girls
also are taught efficient operation
and mainternce of the vehicle.
Goolsby pointed out the project, 1
sponsored by the Americn Oil Com-1
pany, can mean money in the bank. |
"Properly maintained tractors cost
an average of SIOO to S3OO less per j
operting year,” he said. “Because
!it affects the family pocketbook it
; becomes a family project. In the
[ course of the work dug members
I pass along to neighbors the up-to
[date practices learned about using
farm machinery.”
The state winner in the tractor
project wins an expense-paid trip

MOTHER’S DAY
1 |
What does that Mean to you? ?
I heard one young woman say next
Sunday is Mother’s Day, another
.woman said just another present
lo bbuy. If thats the way you feel
[don’t get a thing Mother may be
mid and gray, but she knows why
: you gave her things. There was a
[time when “Mom and Dad” didn't 1
have any money to give their child- |
! ren. In that time, a little boy 5 ;
| years old said, Mamma I have got j
1 to get a job, she said son, you are |
■ too little to think of that, he said j
[have to have some money. So he
I helped a man work in the field i
' one evening. He came home smil i
| ing and said I did make some
.money, and on Sunday morning he
I went in the room where his Mother
| was and gave her a box he had
| wrapped up, he said this is your
; Mother’s Day present and she
j opened the box and there was two
dimes in it. She called him back
and said here son you keep this,
thats all you have; she said you
don’t have to give me anything I
know you love me he said, I want
ed too. That boy has been overseas
two years. That Mother still has
the box the two dimes, she says
; she rather have that with the
j LOVE that was with it than to
' have anything in the world. An old
woman was alone on a Saturday
morning before Mother's Day, and
someone called her and she went
to the door, there was a woman
that she had went to school with,
and that woman said tomorrow is
Mother’s Day, I don’t have a Moth
er, and you don’t but I love you.
I don’t have any money, but I
brought you this; she handed her
a pot of flowers, she had set out
with her old hands, no ribbons, no
fine paper, that woman set them
down, put her arms around her
and they cried and cried many
times. That woman would look at
those flowers, water them, she
could here her say I LOVE YOU.
Before another Mother’s Day she
went away, she want have to walk
any more.
Do you know of any old “Mom”,
sitting alone you could go see and
tell her you love her and mean it?
And on Father’s Day. A year ago
I saw an old Dad on the porch
alone with a stick by his chair,
he would have been so glad if
someone had gave him a rose,
and said, I love you.
If you have time, go see some
one. It will help them.
Our Children Most
Precious Possession
Our children are our most pre
cious possession. If we do not raise
them up in the nuture and admoni
tion of the Lord, then they are
[pretty apt to go astry.
Have you ever thought real ser
iously why so many of our young
! people are delinquent? It is plain
Ito see that there are many com
[ plex but no single factor that
brings it about.
I Every person, adult or child,
needs most of all a sense of his
own significane, his own indivi
duality. A grown person wants
to be recognized in his home, his
church, his club, or he loses in
terest. A husband or wife wants
to be recognized for their kindness
or good deeds in their association.
It is even more important for
our sweet boys and girls to be
commended for their good deeds
and honest efforts. Failure to do
this discourages them and might
start them on the wrong way. It
makes them careless and resentful.
I Children need to be compliment
ed and encouraged instead of too
much scolding. We should show
them that they are appreciated and
I wanted and that we really believe
iin them.
I Furthermore, let us carry out
: these ideas and truths in our own
[ homes and churches. Let husband
' compliment wife and vice versa.
Let us be friendly to everyone at
church and not just to our Shums.
Many church people become dis
couraged and careless fer lack of
friendship. Christian fellowship is
a wonderful thing, let us prove our
Christianity by a good friendly
Christian spirit.

MOTHER’S DAY AND
PARENTHOOD
By MRS. F. C. SAGAR
On the second Sunday in May
we will celebrate Mother's Day. A
little later on we have another
special day on which we honor
Father. Maybe we should have
another special day when we could
honor Parenthood.
Mothers are career women today.
Father has his profession, but the
greatest work that they together
could ever undertake is the job of
Parenthood.
Mother may be America’s un
crowned queen, but to become a
Mother and a Father is no guaran
tee that they will be able to rear
’'Little Mary” or “Son John” as a
good citizen, able to carry on the
[burden of responsibility which is
j a part of any child’s inheritance
jwhen born within the bonds of
[Christian Democratic citizenship.
This job of parenthood is the
oldest profession of all. It should
succeed in every case. Of course
“Mom” and "Dad” say they are
doing their best to make “Son
John a good boy, and Mary a girl
they can be proud of, but you
never can tell today how a “teen
ager” will turn out. Possibly that
is true, but too many parents have
forgotten how to make a home
that will be the desired “Home
Sweet Home.” Too many homes
today are just four walls that
accomodate the family chiefly for
sleeping and delicatessen eating
It seems that the home ••’he e the
family circle live happilv in nr [
atmosphere of love, peace right- (
eousness and honor for the sacrM .
job of parenthood bclcn- to *h-'
yester years, to that age which
produced the men who produced
this Nation.
Maybe the Fathers and Mothers
are not responsible for these
'streamlined homes, but how can
Parents escape the responsibiility
for the social problems that beset
us on every hand.
The home is the very foundation
of our national life. We al! honor
and deeply admire those loving and
faithful parents who give of their
time, their thoughts toward main
tainirtg a family circle in an at
mosphere of dependable parental
authority. The emotional climate
of the homo determines to a large '
degree the emotional maturity in
dividuals may attain for healthy
[Mother, Heme
And Jesus
If the mother is a Christian and
the home is Christian, these three
words are the most meaningful and
the most precious words in the
English language. Can’t you feel
the love of God pulsating through
j these words. These words conate
[ and denote more than any other
'words in the language.
Is there any human love superior
ito the love of a Christian mother
for her children? Is there anything
more wonderful than to be reared
in a Christian home? I thank God
that I had a praying Mother and
Father.
The home must cooperate with
the school and church in rearing
their children, those two institut
ions are the best institutions on
the face of the earth for helping
parents teach and train their child
ren in developing physically, men
tally, socially and morally and
spiritually. Jesus Christ is the
answer.
There is no love superior to the
love of God in Jesus Christ. "For
God so loved the world that he
gave his only begotten son that
whosoever believeth on him should
not perish but have everlasting
life.” Do not ignore the matchless
love of God in Christ? Be faithful
to your mother, your home and
above all to Jesus Christ, the son
of God, your Saviour and Lord!

and happy lives.
Whether in the slums or in the
homes of “Who’s Who,” a child
needs and deserves to know where
he stands. The feeling of security
should be a part of a child’s life,
a child needs to feel that he is
wanted, that he is understood. Of
ten the crowded home, the poor
home, is a prized home. Prosperity
of the Parents is certainly no as
surance of a happy home.
Let me quote one small boy’s
tribute to his mother, a mother
who lived in poverty with her
family.
When the little boy was asked
by his Teacher to write something
about “Mother,” he wrote,
My Mother is a niee lady. She
is five feet tail and three feet wide.
She has no false teeth, but her
front teeth are broken. She is
married. She married my Father
when she was 18. She has 8 more
children besides me, and she says
she wouldn't be without one of us.
We have 2 bedrooms and 1 kitchen.
Every morning she goes cleaning
at five, stepping softly as not to
wake us. She leaves our lunch
parked, and milk pennies on the
dresser. Dad gets our breakfast
before he goes to work. She gets
home before we go to school, and
sees we are tidy. Then she starts
her housework. She peels the po
tatoes and cooks 12 dinners, one
for Granny who lives ten doors
’.way. Monday and Thursday she
scrubs the rooms, Tuesday is wash
■ Hay. This is the only day she
i crumbles. Wednesday and Friday
j she mends our clothes that are
always getting torn. Saturday she
goes to get our groceries. She
takes my sister to learn her how
to buy. At 5 o’clock she goes
office cleaning and get home by
nine and puts us all to bed. She
keeps going and don't sit down.
Sometimes she brings us Cocoa to
bed. When the baby upstairs is
sick she goes up there because the
Mother works. When my Mother
dies I’ll miss her very much.
One boys tribute to the one he
loved.
A hovel can be Home Sweet
Home to children.
It is fitting and proper that we
pay great praise to Mother on her
