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.

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. Philisophy Of Home 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.

(City Population 2 ; 500) 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.” PREACHING NOTICE Brother John Watson will preach at Silver Shoals Baptist Church Sunday night May 10.

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.

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. A. E. NIX 1 Bonn protests French Foreign Legion recruiting. County Population 15,000. 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! W. R.

Number 19. 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 I SPECIAL DAY.. :Objectives of H. D.
