Byrd Ready Atlanta, Ga. — Georgia Adjutant General George Hearn made an educated guess Monday that Ga. units of the 48th Armored Div. will be called to active duty if the country proceeds with proposed partial mobilization plans. A similar guess came from Lt. Gov. Garland Byrd — himself a major in the Ga. National Guard. Both men emphasized they had heard nothing official from Wash ington on call-up plans. Lt. Gov. Byrd, considered a can didate for governor, also said he will not use his immunity as a state official to avoid federal serv ice if he is called. There are about 6,000 Georgians in the 48th Div. Florida units and personnel also serve in the 48th and its presently commanded by a Floridian. General Hearn said the 48th came out with a high rating in a recent inspection by regular Army officers. “We have had no official call,” he said, “but the readiness status of the 48th Div. places it in a high category.” Georgia-Florida Poultry War Ends; Conditions Listed Atlanta, Ga. — Gov. Vandiver has set out to Florida Gov. Bryant three conditions under which"This unfortunate economic war” be tween the states om chickens and/ or oranges could be ended. The two governors negotiated all last week but failed to get to gether on means of calling off the tax war on Florida citrus and Ga. poultry. The Governor said Monday Geor gia would be willing to call the whole thing off if: 1. Florida would remove the chicken inspection fee from “first handlers” in Florida as well as on out of state procesors and ship pers. 2. Florida would remove the wing tag provision on processed Ga. chickens — the Ga. governor said he could not find any spelled out provision for this in the new Florida inspection law. 3. Florida would accept federal inspection of Ga. chickens on a 24 bird per container basis, rather than on each bird. “I respectfully submit,” said Gov. Vandiver, “that these actions would then make it possible for me to lift the Georgia inspection of a 10c per container inspection fee on Florida citrus products and bring a prompt and permanent truce in this unfortunate economis war.” Senior Class of 1954 Will Meet Sat.

Childres, Roberta Methodist Charge, Named“Georgia’s Rural Minister Of Year; Honored at Banquet July 12th REV. WILLIAM F. CHILDRES Peanut Growers Urged to Vote in Referendum The Ga. Farm Bureau Federa tion urges peanut growers to vote their ballot to help determine the future of a growing peanut indus try. Harry L. Brown, President of the Ga. Farm Bureau Federation re minded growers "only a few days remain for peanut growers to cast their ballot to determine if pro ducers w'ill develop a program de signed to create larger markets, consumption, and new uses for Ga. grown peanuts.” Deadline for casting ballots is July 25. “Any grower not casting a ballot is automatically voting against a grower self-help pro gram for better marketing oppor tunities,” the Farm Bureau Presi dent explained. “Producer groups in other states have enlarged their income oppor tunities tremendously by estab lishing commodity self-help pro grams,” he said. "Florida citrus growers have in creased consumption of Florida citrus from 11 pounds per capita to 45 pounds in the United States and California cling peach grow ers more than doubled the con sumption of peaches with a grower financed research promotion and educational program,” Brown said. The proposed peanut promotion program would be financed by $1 per ton assessment — if approved by growers. While ballots have been mailed to all growers they may also be obtained fropi the County Farm Bureau Offices or the County Agent’s Office.

Childres, pastor of the Roberta Methodist Charge, was named “Georgia’s Rural Min ister of the Year” at a banquet in Atlanta on the evening of July 12th. Childres was one of 13 pastors selected from each of 13 states in the Sou h by the Progressive Farmer Magazine and Emory Uni- versity School of Theology. The Georgian was honored for his leadership in an experimental idea — the "enlarged charge” plan The plan has resulted in better organization, greater interest in stewardship and better - trained leadership for six churches in Crawford county. The 30-year-old minister was one of the youngest of the 13 rural minister honored. Childres entered the Methodist ministry 11 years ago after gradu ating from the Candler School of Theology. He has been one of the leading figures in recent years in town and country work in the South Georgia Methodist Confer ence. Last month he was named ex ecutive secretary of the Town and Country Commission of the South, Ga. Conference. In his plan for the "enlarged charge,” Childres grouped six churches of the Roberta charge— Roberta, Musella, Walker Chapel, Knoxville, Hebron and Bethel—to gether for a total membership o£ 500. Instead of serving these church es alone, Childres has a staff min istry for the group. He has a stu dent associate a full-time rural community church worker and him, self. The population shift from rural to urban communities is one of the largest problems facing hte town and country churches today. “We hope this plan is the beginning of the solution to one of our prob lems,” Childres said, He feels the use of laymen as part-time workers in the individu al churches will greatly aid the rural minister who must serve more than one church. The churches on the charge now have preaching services twice on two Sundays a month, the others at least two preaching services a month. Roberta has morning and evening worship each Sunday. MYF groups were formed or reor ganized and there are now six of these. One new Sunday School has been started to make four. Rev. Childres is the son of Mr. and Mrs. William Childres of But ler. His wife is the former Miss Louellen McDade of Eatonton. They have two daughters Luanne and Elaine and one son Ferrell. Honorees from other states in cluded: Rev. R. Z.
