AN IMPOSSIBILITY!
It is an impossibility to love God
to much! If a person decides to
give all of his time, talent, ability,
influence and everything else that
God has given him—to give it all
back to God in service —in perfect
obedience to His every command;
that person is doing no more than
he should do. Jesus wave us the
highest duty of man (the greatest
Commandment of all) “Thou shalt
love the Lord thy God with ALL
thy heart, and with ALL thy soul,
and with ALL thy strength, and
with ALL thy mind; and thy neigh
bor as thyself.” Jesus went on to
say, “this do and thou shalt live”.
Then the lawyer asked, “and who
is my neighbort”.? Jesus answered
with the story yof “The Good Sa
maritan.”
You may go through the history
of mankind and name a long list
of the faithful ones even the ones
who were beaten and imprisoned
and multitudes of them even put
to death yet they were loyal and
true to God even unto death. Even
with all of their courage and death
they would be the first to say,
“how little I have done for the
cause of Christ.” Yes, the blood
of the Martyrs has become the
seed of the Church.”
No human being that has ever
lived upon this earth, or ever will
live upon this earth can truth
fully say, “I have loved God to
much.” Jesus said, "If ye love me
you will keep my commandments.”
each of us search of hearts
and ask ourselves the question—
DO I LOVE GOD? If you do love
Him you are certainly going to
do what He says and try to please
Him in all that we do. God’s love
is so much greater than our love.
He proved it by sending His only
Son into the world to give his life
for us. How can we ever love Him
enough?

From Dade to Charlton, from
Seminole to Habersham .there’s not
a county which doesn’t suffer from
carelessly set and tended trash
fires. Forsyth county is no excep
tion.
Thousands of acres of fileds
have been planted with pinte seed
lings which need many years of
fire-free growth.
All trash should be burned in a
container of some type, whether
it’s a familiar wire incinerator with
a lid or a large drum with holes
punched in it. The area around the
burner should be cleared of all
flammable debris, such as paper,
pine straw, or other potential fuel.
No burning should be done on
windy days, as a small breeze can
spread sparks and embers before
the person tending the fire can
stop them. Therefore, the inciner
ator should be kept well away from
wooded areas or grassy fields.
Burning should be done only in
The early morning or late after
noon -when the moisture content of
the air is high. This prevents the
fire from burning as “hot” as it
does in drv air.
Fire tools, such a rakes, hoes or
shovels, should be kept handy to
control anv flames which excape
the incinerator. A laree container
of water is handy to have around
for emergencies.
Fires caused bv carelessness wear
out eauipment and tie up person
nel. thus increasing the cost of the
forestry program. Fire damaee to
natural resources is incalculable.
Much of this loss can be eliminated
if every Georgian will do his part
by observing outdoor fire safety.

LAST YEAR OVER MILLION WORKERS
PAID OVER 2 BILLION DOLLARS, HUIET
|
Commissioner of Labor Ben T. Huiet reports this area helped
Georgia set a record of over one million non-farm workers in 1959.
Workers in insured employment numbered over 740,000 in June, 1959.
Statewide insured wages exceeded $2.6 billion in fiscal year 1959,
a gain of slßl million over FY 1958. The information is revealed in
Commissioner Huiet’s 23rd annual report to the Governor and the
General Assembly.
‘December, 1959, factory produc
tion worker wages averaged $64.88
per week, 26 cents above a year
ago. The average hourly rate of
[pay was up to $1.61,” the Labor
I Commissioner stated.
The Department of Labor’s State
Employment Service office serving
this County is located at 113 North
Green Street, Gainesville, Georgia.
It also serves, White, Hall, Daw
son, Lumpkin and Jackson Coun
ties.
This office, managed by Gerald
Frankum, assisted employers of
the area in filling 2,216 non-farm
lobs in 1959. During the same time,
employers hired through the local
office workers to fill 257 farm jobs.
The state total of non-farm job
placements for 1959 is 123,615 up
more than 20 per cent over 1958,
while state wide farm placements
totaled 152,936, a gain of -11,200
over last year.
During the year, job insurance
payments totaling over $25,977,000
were made to unemployed Geor
gians: this is almost sl3 million
less than in the peak year of 1958.
In addition, the Georgia Depart
ment of Labor supervised the pay
ment of $2,418,200 in federal funds
to unemployed federal workers,
ex-servicemen and veterans. Over
42.600 employees had job Insurance
claims /iled for them by their em
ployer* because full time work was
not available and for which the
workers received wages less than
their weeklv lob insurance amount.
Payments ranged from one dollar
to S3O per week. Rome 30.300 other
workers were laid off by employ
ers in large groups because of
plant shut-down for various rea
sons: Over-inventory, fires, com
pletion of contracts and such.
. "During the fiscal year 1959,
$1.19 was paid out in job insurance
for each dollar of job insurance
tax collected. This was due pri
marily to the relatively high claim
load during the first three quar
ters of FY 1958. January 1, 1960
«, HUIET REPORTS GEORGIA ROAD TO PROGRESS STRAIGHT AHEAD <
£* ''' " jfW %
, _ ■
Atlanta, February I—Commissioner of Labor Ben T. Huiet, left, in making the annual
report for 1959 to Governor S. Ernest Vandiver, center, and the General Assembly here today
said: “Governor Vandiver, the 1959 annual report of the Georgia Department of labor nails
another sign on Georgia’s road to progress. The milestone, marking the beginning of a new
decade, shows that 1959 ended and 1960 began with a record non-farm employment of over
one million. That is double of what 1940 began with and over a fourth more than 1950. Every
indication shows Georgia’s road to progress is straight ahead, towards even greater pros
perity.” Looking on at right is T. M. Forbes, chairman of the Department’s Advisory Council,
which was created by the General Assembly to assist Commissioner Huiet in solving problems
concerning Employment Security. The Council, composed of outstanding citizens represent
ing employers, employees and the general public, has played a major role in keeping the Em
ployment Security Law current with Georgia’s expanding economy and her worker needs.
Commissioner Huiet praised the Governor, the General Assembly and the Advisory Council
for their efforts in keeping the State’s Employment Security Law close to the needs of the
State’.;people and keyed to its economy.
County Populat
saw the job insurance trust fund
at over or $4 million
j better off than a year ago. It
appears that the trust fund is
adequate to meet any foreseeable
unemployment emergency that
could come up. But we need to be
watchful that the fund is not sub
jected to undue strain,” Mr. Huiet
asserted.
In 1959, $125,693.00 in job insur
ance were paid to unemployed
workers In Forsyth County. At
present there are 318 unemployed
workers getting job insurance on
claims filed in Forsyth County.
"Last year the purchasing power
of bur non-farm workers was the
highest on record. Our economy hit
a new milestone by exceeding one
million non-farm workers in mid
year. We start the new decade, the
Soaring Sixties, with non-farm em
ployment almost double what It
was 20 years ago and a third high
er than in 1950.
"Judging by the indications av
ailable to me as your Commission
er of Labor, I feel 1960 will see
Georgia wage earners, Georgia
business and industry and agricul
ture gain the heights our people so
justly deserve,” Commissioner
Huiet concluded.
