Health Department News By T. E. Nelms. Sanitarian Fly Control is the subject that | we would like for vou to think I about with us at this time. I Flv breeding season is here and | nearly everyone has porhaos notic ed some flies aroun dtheir pre I mises. _ 1 Flies, as we know are filthy in sects, because they raise only in filthy places and bring their filth with them into our homes if not properly controlled. The fly is one insect that spits up part of what it has eaten onto something it is going to eat to moisten it enough to get a hold of it with its small mouth. There is no one, we are sure, that would want a fly crawling about over a small child, food or drink if it was known that the fly had come from same surface type outdoor toilet, poultry house, hog pen or barn. In fact we don t want flies around regardless of where thev have been. Besides being filthy, flies can spread dangerous disease germs, could cause some member of the familv to be sick and have a doc tor bill on hand. j We enjoy repeating the old sav ing that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. So let's all start and continue a control program at our homes by the use of good sanitation practices along withal lthe best fly baits and spray’ that are found at grocery and feed stores. Before singning off we would like to add one thing regarding out door toilets. If you have the kind that breed flies, come by and we will be glad to give you a plan by which to construct a better one and will be fly proof. Cumming Georgia, Thursday, July 9, 1959.

(This program arranged by Daves Creek Baptist Church. ‘WHAT SHALL WE DO?” As Peter preached the people knew that they had sinned. They realized that thev had, not honored the Son of God. They had not even believed he wa sthe Son of God. They had never trusted him to save them from their sins and now they were dying in their sins. They were frightened. They cried out to Peter, and to the other disciples, “What Shall We do?” Peter told them to repent of their sins—(every act, word or thought that keeps one from pleas ing God). To repent means to be so sorry for a sin (your sins) that you determine not to do it any more and turn away from it. “Re pent and be baptized” (Acts 2:38.) Jesus wants all people who trust him to be baptized to show others that they are on his side. If you have never trusted Jesus to save you, you can do it right now without saying a wrod to any one. You can ask Jesus to forgive you and save you. Do you believe the Lord Jesus, God’s son can change you? Will you trust your self to him right now? “For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned, but he that believeth not is condemned already, be cause he hath not be lieved in the name of the onlv be gotten son of God.” John 3:17—18. W. R. Callaway LAKE LANIER HAS BIRTHDAY A record 547,000 visitors during June marked the second full year of operation of Buford Dam and Lake Sidney Lanier by the U. S. Army Corpsof Engineers, compared with 313,600 visitors during the same month last year. Through June of this year a total of 1,895,- 000 visitors were recorded at this top Georgia recreation spot, com pared to 780,000 during the same period in 1958. The project was substantially completed in July 1957 although it was not dedicated until the following October. A Corps of Engineers spokesman said that the lake level was only 1033 feet above sea level on July 4, 1937, when recreation hungry Georgians used Lake Lanier in such numbers that it was necessary to establish emergency safety pa trols due to the obstructions still remaining in the lake at the low water level. The level is now 1070 5 feet, with a shore line of 540 miles, and affords adequate depts for safe boating and water sports of all types. The dam actually began operat ing for flood control purposes in February 1956 and began full pow er production in July 1958. The three generating units in the dam powerhouse are actuated by waters of the Chattahoochee River. Except for a special test release in February 1958 to test the gen erators at an overload, operation of the dam has been normal. Peo ple using the river are now tho roughly familiar with the pattern of water releases, which at first created some consternation because I releases through the dam had been held at a minimum while Lake Lanier was being filled. Peak re leases for producing power are usually heaviest at mid-day and during the afternoon when demand is greatest and Uncle Sam can | derive the most money from its I sale, according to the Army Engi- I neers. Recent havey rainfall in the up per basin has caused releases slight ly heavier than usual but still within the normal range, as Buford fulfills its valuable flood control mission, which was an important item in its authorization. Waters released from the dam ad navi gation in the river downstream, too When greater floods occur in the area above the dam, it will take longer to evacuate the flood stor age and the emptying discharges will be more sustained, but they should not produce substantially higher stages in the river below the dam. When unusually large releases of water are made at the dam, special news bulletins will be issued by the Army Engineers.

OUR NATIONAL LEADERS CAN LEAD THE WORLD IN OUTLAWING WAR By RICHARD C. RODGERS, M. 1. (This is a series of articles that will continue from week to week until the End). THE ROLE OF OUR NATIONAL LEADERS It should be made clear that it is not the purpose herein to dispar age the efforts of our government to provide a military deterrent as strong as practicable in the present state of international relations. It is not advocated that we unilater ally relax our guard of adequate military power—a power that ap pers to be demanded by the status quo of existing international rela tions. The terrible tragedy of the drama we play lies in the tendency which has heretofor prevailed to confine our peace effort to the maintenance of a powerful military deterrent. We are endangering our survival by overlooking the com pelling need to devise anew sys tem of effective security for all I nations which will replace the pres ent necessity to maintain powerful retaliatory forces. If we fail to recognize the urgency of such de velopment and continue to limit Jour attention and purpose to main ' tenance of military power, we shall i fail miserably in our responsibility i not only to our own nation but to all the world. Our security can not be maintained indefinitely through the buildup of military strength. Our survival depends upon the prompt attainment of anew reia tionship that will provide effective ! security for all nations without the I constant threats and counter threat jof nuclear war. If our nation should fail to spark ! this kind of new approach to peace Jit may never gain sufficient mo mentum to succeed. The primary role of our national leaders is to gain a clear understanding of the fundamentals which underlie the possible attainment of lasting peace annd quickly proceed to influence the world to adopt these funda mentals. But if we embark upon the course here described, there js presented the quesion: Suppose all the powerful nations, including our political antagonists, do not agree to join in the plan? The onl an? wer to that question is this: Such a plan assuring world survival is not going to evolve unless a full fledged effort on our part is made to see it through, and if sufficient effort is devoted to that end, there is a good possibilit that world opin ion and the nure loeic of the plan’s anneal to the self-interest of all nations and people will assur i’s universal adoption. With the ex penditure of great national effort toward that ultimate objective, no man can state with authorit thn i will no succeed. There is a prevailing apahy or disinterest bred by lack of under standing. Our nation should employ its finest resources to enlighten our citizens and all other leaders and people concerning the funda mentals of world peace. What con’d be a practical start ing point for our national leaders? As constructive step, a strong group of senators and congressmen with the cooperation of our Presi dent, Vice President and Secretary of State, could initiate the estab lishment of anew department, at cabinet level, to blueprint plans for acquiring the essentials for lasting world peace. (Perhaps the Secretar of State could preside over this department as well as the State Department.) There seem to be sound reasons for concentrating such an effort in anew department of government. The background and training of the State Depart ment, for instance, is in the art of diplomac, as historical practiced, supported b the potential might of ,the nation. It is impractical to ex jpect that department to initiae a movemen toward world order and arms con rol where traditional procedures of a power diplomacy wo'dd ro longer the essence of international relations. It is proh ah’v r,n'v a np-v geve**n T n^nta’ department, not tide to traditional rnnrnnts of din’omae (which rolv on force of arms) could nurture the transition of approach to in ‘ ternational relations so essential Number 28. to the attinment of a lasing peace. The major changes necessary in the prevailing thinking and atti tudes will result only from inten sive education of al ithe people. Many dedicated individual citizens and private groups are striving to assist in the attainment of peace. They are alert to the seriousness of our dilema. They lack the re sources, however, to provide ef fective education of the magnitude required. The responsibility for educating the people on the funda mentals of peace is national. It is not limited to onl a few interested individuals or private groups. Un less a comprehensive educational program, spearheaded by a dyna mic leadership on a naWonal level is directed to the people of all nations, we may fail to solve our problem of national survival. This educational program could stem from the new department here pro posed. There are two reasons why a relationship between nations having the basic guaranties against war has not yet been achieved. First, the urgency born with the nuclear age was never before present. This urgency is pressing us now. Se condly, there has been a powerful opposition, based in all sincerity, to any movement which might be construed to develop a super world government or unwittingly become the tool through which our or any nation might become subservient to a world dictator. The genuine fear that this nation could lose its sovereignty or become engulfed in a colossus of world dictatorship has created a sensitive resistance to any realistic approach to out lawing war in the only effective way by the adoption of world law, enforcing disarmament and prohibiting aggression between nat ins. The choice is not between a world dictatorship on the one hand and the danger of nuclear war on the other. The relationship between nations here proposed is one to ; preserve and secure to each its |sovereignt while guaranteeing that !no sovereignty will be used to force* a nuclear war upon the world w’hich would destroy all sovereignties, whether participants in the war or not. The distinctive elements of this relationship must be clearly defin*-3 initially and kept clearlv defined throughout the formulation of any plan to give if effect. The success of the effort to achieve such relationship is dependent upon the development of the safeguards and guaranties which will assure all nations that sueh a reitionship between them can be brought about without the dangers to their national sovereign ties w’hieh have been associated at times with "super world govern ment” or similar proposals, stimu- lating great opposition to them. A new department of our government striving for an adequate plan to outlaw war, would be able to inte grate these guaranties and safe guards into its plans, proposals, recommendations and educational program, so that irresponsible criti cism or opposition based on lack of information or understanding might be kept to the minimum, if the efforts to achieve the essen tials for lasting peace are to suc ceed. The publicity and watchfulness which would accompany the acti vation and progress of anew de partment for the achievement of lasting peace would help dissolve ithe prevailing apathy and inspire a real hope that a ntionl effort equal to the enormous task at last had been launched. Dedicated solely to the achievement of a durable world peace, such a department would mold all groups seeking peace into a strong, untied force with a meaningful purpose and scientific direction, working realis tically tow’ard the eradication of war between nations. With God’s help, let our nation call forth its strongest leadership in this effort before wc are forced into an insane war that could end with the destruction of all nations and untold calamity to mankind.
