Cancer Funds Needed
More Than Ever, Says
Chairman Bob Brogdon
More than ever before, the
American Cancer Society, Forsyth
County Unit, needs the thoughfui
support of everyone who is con
cerned with the cancer problem.
Ten years ago only one Cancer
patient in every four was saved.
However, with present medical
knowledge and techniques, one in
two—yes, 50 percent of all cancer
patients—could live to enjoy full
lives.
We are gaining substantial head
way in the Crusade Against Can
cer. This is being done through
RESEARCH, to find the cause and
cure; EDUCATION, to’ prevent
needless deaths and suffering; and
SERVICE, to provide help to the
Cancer patient and his family.
Every day in Georgia 15 people
die from Cancer. During 1959,
10,070 Georgians will develop Can
cer. These are startling facts, but
true.
The funds drive in Forsyth Coun
ty is lagging. May we count on
your joining others here in this
Counuty, in the fight against Can
cer by your investing a generous
gift in the support of this life
saving program.

Highway Patrol
In Big Move For
Safer July 4th.
Watch out for the Georgia High
way Patrol! State troopers are on
the ground and in the air. They’re
conducting perhaps Georgia’s most
intensified enforcement drive in an
effort to maintain safety on the
roads during the current Fourt of
July holiday week-end.
"We’re out to get al lthe traffic
violators we can,” declared Col.
William P. Trotter, director of the
Georgia Department of Public
Safety. “Motorists who abide by
the law and drive carefully and
sensibly have nothing to fear from
us. But those who don’t watch
out!”
The special enforcement opera
tion officially begins at 6 p. m.
Friday, July 3, and continues thru
midnight Sunday, July 5. All avail
able personnel and equipment at
the 34 patrol posts and Atlanta
headquarters have been pressed in
to service.
Troopers, as well as GBI agents,
will be working around the clock
during the 54-hour period. On the
ground they will set up roadblocks
at unannounced places, using pa
trol cars, speed timing devices and
various other equipment. In the
air they will use helicopters which
will be in communication with the
ground units.
Last year 18 persons were killed
in Georgia and 138 injured in 309
accidents during a 78-hour July
4th holiday period. This year the
prediction is for 14 deaths, 85
persons injured and 225 accidents.
“We hope our prediction won’t
come true,” the safety director
said. “We'll be doing all we can.
But in the final analysis, it is
largely up to the drivers, them
selves, to prevent accidents.”

Those Who Love Jesus
Jesus did not sav, “I build”. He
said, “I will build”, meaning that
his church would be built on the
I firm faith of all his followers.
(The gates of hell shall not prevail
| against it. Jesus really gave two
promises: First. He promised there
would always be his church. No
person, no wars, no evil forces
could destrov it because his life
was in it. Second, Jesus promised
that all people trusting him. will
never be destroyed. He did not
mean that people who trust him
j would not suffer or die a physical
| death. He meant that no power
j could take them away from him.
‘All people who trust Jesus will
[ live forever.
I All the New Testament after the
j gospels is the storv of the build
j ing Jesus’ church. All the disciples
I with Jesus that day in Caesarea
I Phillipi were forced to prove their
faith. Only one did not have the
kind of faith on which Jesus could
build his church. After Jesus’ death
and resurrection, his church grew
rapidly. But .Tesus’ enemies were
determined that his church should
not live. They tried to kill the
church by destroying Jesus’ chosen
disciples and other brave followers.
Stephen was the first Christian
Martyr. Most of the followers of
Christ were scattered abroad be
cause of the pereeutions.
The first apostle (disciple) to
die for his faith in Jesus was
James. About ten years after the
death of Stephen, James was be
headed. Philip is said to have trav
eled to upper Asia to tell others
about his Saviour. He was cruci
fied for his faith in about A. D.
54.
I Andrew, the brother of Peter, is
said to have been crucified on a
cross shaped like the latter J. Even
today a cross of this shape is call
ed a St. Andrew’s cross.
Peter was the first disciple to
declare his faith in Jesus and he
continued to speak for his Lord
wherever and whenever he could.
He was often thrown into prison.
Histrians tell us he was crucified
in about A. D. 68. Peter said that
he was not good enough to die in
the same way Jesus had died and
asked to be crucified upside down.
Some writers o fancient history
say Bartholemen or Nathanael,
went to India to preach. There the
idol worshipers finally beaut and
crucified him.
The history writers sav Thomas
was thrust through with a spear
and that Simon the Zealot was
crucified.
John escaped a violent death but
was cruelly persecuted for his faith
He wa sthrown in prison, beaten,
stoned, and exiled to a lonely is
land for several years. Their faith
in Jesus Christ as the Son of God
meant more to them than their
physical life.

Second Article On
Draft Extention
The draft has been extended for
four years, until July 1, 1963. This
mean c that the young men of the
country must continue to expect
to serve in the military forces. This
j series of articles outlines the basic
| responsibilities and rights of young
I men under the draft law.
This is the second article of the
series.
Some time after he has register
ed, each man will receive from his
'ocal board a questionnaire. The
answers provide the basic infor
mation which the local board will
use to decide whether a man
should be deferred or exempt, or
whether he snouid be considered
as available for induction for two
years of service.

The local board also considers
nformation from other sources
such as employers, dependents, gov
ernment agencies and other legi
‘imate sources. But fundamentally,
’he law imposes on the registrant
’he responsibility for keeping the
'ocal board informed of anything
m his personal situation which
might affect his clasification.
Every classification must be
made on the basis of individual
status. There are no group classi
fications.
No classification is permanent,
and in some cases, expiration dates
are set. A man classified as avail
able for service may find his in
dividual situation so changed that
the local boar ma defer him. And
a man who is deferred or exempt
may not remain in that class after
the conditions on which the ex
emption is based cease to exist.
The classification assigred by
the local board determines basic
ally, whether a man will enter
service in his turn or rema n tern
mrarily in civilian life. Tim local
boards are made up of unpaid,
volunteer citizens of the communi
ty. They may not be members of
the military service.
The local board may reruire a
registrant to appear before it and
has the authority to subpeona wit
nesses. Every registrant is requir
ed to submit to the board any in
formation requested of him.

OUR NATIONAL LEADERS CAN LEAD
THE WORLD IN OUTLAWING WAR
By RICHARD C. RODGERS, M. I).
(This is a series of articles that
will continue from week to week
'until the End).
I
■IS WORLD ORDER OR PEACE
POSSIBLE?
The achievement of lasting world
peace is not dependent upon a
great moral development. Wfiile
lasting peace could result from an
advanced spiritual evolution of the
human race, to believe that it is
impossible for man to reach an era
of enduring peace until he has I
developed a moral and spiritual j
maturity far. in excess of his pres
ent level would be a tragic error.
Man has been able to establish
a reasonable degree of order with
in his family, business, and educat
ional institutions, as well as within
the political units of his city, coun
ty, state and nation. He does not
have to fear that his life will be
taken or that he will be robbed be
cause he is under the prtection of
law and order which has outlawed
the use of force in the hands of
individuals living under the law.
So, man can find considerable peace
even enduring peace in all areas
within his own nation even though
he has undergone only a moderate
spiritual and moral development.
Unquestionably, without the law to
preserve order, man’s life would
be threatened daily and his goods
would be constantly in danger of
plunder by many of the people
with whom he is living peaceably
today under the protection of the
law.
Order is not present among the !
nations because there is not any
jointly adopted and enforceable law
Nations are free to prepare for
war and there is no world author
ity which can adequately prevent
nations from using force or war.
Nations are forced to rely upon
the strength of their arms in an
! attempt to seek security because
| there is no authority capable of
i providing security against military
I aggression.
! For thousands of years, families,
tribes, villages, cities, states and
nations have attempted to main
tain security against external
threats by military force. Today,
all of these units except nations
have abandoned military force as
a system of security. This has bpen
possible only because these units
have been brought under the in
fluence of enforceable law. This
law has brought security within
the unit. Since disputes can be solv
ed by law, armed force has been
outlawed as a method for solving
them. The only armed force allow
ed is under the control of the law
and is not a threat to anyone abid
ing within the law. Order is main
tained because there is law.
Peace among nations will not j
come until they voluntarily aban- i
don national military force as their [
system of security. This result can ,
not be accomplished unless with
the abandonment of national mili- J
tary forces thev achieve security .
through international law and or- j
der. Is is possible for nations to
undergo this drastic transition in ,
their traditional concepts? Not un
less at least one nation employs
a total effort toward that end,
amouning in effect to a crusade.
But given one national government j
which makes a firm decision to
approach the problems of peace
with great intelligence and to mobi
lize major resources in the edu
cation of other governments and
the leaders and people of all the
nations concerning the fundamen
tal principles of peace given this
one national government, then
peace is likely. Truth, when clearly
presented, is usually self-evident
to the better minds of all cultures.
Obejectivity in thinking on peace
and international issues, without
national bias, would quickly be
recognized by sufficient numbers of
’people all over the world so that
great support could probably be
mobilized in the effort to obtain
the minimum essentails to outlaw
was—the adequate machinery to
cnforceably prevent aggression and
control national arms.
National Survival is Dependent
upon Successful Establishment of
Machinery Adequate to Prevent
War Between Nations
Nuclear science forces the world
Number 27.
jto recognize the following simple
jand fundamental truths:
(a) With nuclear weapons, sur
vival and war are incompatible.
j Either war must be eliminted or
! civilization will be destroyed.
(b) The present arms race will
| not prevent World War 111. In fact,
I the arms race will cause World
I War 111 if not stopped soon by
[creative fforts to provide for en
forceable universal disarmament
under World Law
(c) Responsibility for the pre
vention of world destruction rests
| squarely on our national leaders.
If we do not assume vigorous
world leadership in presenting a
logical an denforceable plan for
world peace, but limit most of our
energies to the power struggle, we
are defaulting in our responsibility
as world leaders. If we persist in
telling our people and the world
that the only way to peace in thru
military deterrents, we can be
sure that we are failing to formu
late and sell Ihe only plan that
can outlaw war.
(and) Ntional survival is depend
ent upon our leaders clearly re
j cognizing the essentails of an en
| during peace and their successful
enlightment of (he world with
these concepts.
Spiritual Implications of Contin
ued Reliance upon Force or Threat
of Force
In an age when war means the
; destruction of countless thousands
lof innocent lives bv all warring
1 factions, war an dthe preparation
| for war carry serious spiritual
I implications.
The spiritual progress of our
nation will stand still until we
achieve, on the international level,
a peaceful means of solving dis
putes without resorting to war. As
ttvn gas we live under a system of
international relations in which our
greatest national effort and re
sources are directed toward the ac
quisition of the most effective
j means for the mass destruction of
i life, even though it be on a re
j taliatorv basis, we cannot expect
to go forward to greater spirtual
attainments. In a world where the
national and political leaders feel
compelled to defend their records
on the basis of the power they
have forged to destroy human
beings in potentially antagonist
nations, professions of adherence to
religious principles become more
and more a mockery.
Human life is acred. It is the
creation of God. A relation between
nations where plotting the mass
'destruction of sacred life is deemed
necessary for security. if they
be lives of professed enemies of
religion, i incompatible with spiri
tual growth. The clear, simple,
fundamental truths that underlie
most of our religious concepts, un
derstood even by children, such as
the dictate that we should do unto
others as we would have them do
unto us, and love our neighbors as
ourselves, are beclouded and over
shadowed bv the overwhelming re
pugnancy of the foremost purpose
in our defense preparations— thh
harnessing of the power of anni
hilation of life and perfecting the
means of its effective delivery
wherever human life exists.
So while, as hereinbefore pointed
out, a great moral and spiritual
attainment is not necessary for the
achievement of lasting peace thru
the voluntary adoption of a sys
tern of law and order outlawing
war, the converse is not true. We
are stymied in our further spiritual
growth until we succeed in out
lawing war and directing our nat
ional effort down a peaceful course
where the essence of our security
and defense no longer will have
to rest upon our surpassing all
potentail enemies in the cold, im
personal science of destroying liv
ing people, or upon our meeting
threats of such destruction with
counter threats.
Whether we are faultless in this
dilema is not important. The irr
portant thing is that the har
cold, irreverence for human J
that must permeate any imm
j effort to devise an effective r
for its destruction, even 1
' motivated for security p
only, produces an atmosr
