Dear Brother Editor:
I notice from this week’s paper
that some member of the family
needs a wheel chair. I write to say
| that I hope that they will enjoy
! the use of their wheel chair as
} much as I am enjoying mine. I
had my left foot removed at Emory
last May. When I got home I asked
j Dr. Fisher, my home physician,
| about the use of an artificial limb.
He said I was too old to use one.
I had celebrated my 80th birthday
land he said I would have to de
pend on crutches or a wheel
, chair. I had tried crutches several
I years before with a sprained an
kle, and found that they did not
have a bit of sense. It was no trou-
i ble for me to say a wheel chair.
I Since then I have lived in my
wheel chair during the day. As I
: write this I am in my wheel chair.
I have just finished helping my
wife prepare dinner from my
'wheel chair. I also had the lead
ing part in a funeral from my
wheel chair. You are not surprised
that I write Wheel Chair with
capital letters. I get in a car from
my Wheel Chair without assist
ance, and when I return home I
get out of the car into the wheel
| chair. Yes, I hope that everyone
who uses one will get as much
pleasure out of their as I do from
| mine.
Sincerely,
J. CLYDE ADAMS,
Bishop of Heard County.'
Learning English
Last year the National Council of
Teachers of English reported that 70
per cent of the colleges and uni
versities of the nation had to pro
vide remedial work in English for
students entering the field of high
er learning.
There have been many other in
dications that the proper reading
and writing of our own language is
not what it should be among many
of the nation's schools. In this age
of stress on the sciences, it is pos
sible that emphasis will notbe
i placed on this problem — the prop
er reading and writing of the Eng-
J lish language.
| In an effort to emphasize the
j needs in this sphere the federal
governcent’s Office of Education
is looking about for incentive pro
grams. But the best approach to the
situation is for local and state
officials to keep in mind the im
portance of English in the edu
cational system.
English — an ability to read,
.write, and speak it — helps in
I every other field of study, or in any

To get the most food for your

the health needs of your family

By way of comparison, Georgia’s
1961 traffic toll record was “pretty
good.” While 60.000 more motor
vehicles were traveling nearly 400-
million more miles than in previous
year, there were 43 fewer fatalities
reported, the total dropping from
1,038 to 995,
In 1956, the latest year for which
official statistics are available, the
people of the United States spent
$10.5 billion for alcoholic bever
ages. At the same time they spent
for books, magazines and newspa
pers $2,416,000,000. How can God
bless America?

There is little question about the
fact that the second edition of the
Merriam-Webster International Un
abridged Dictionary has held an
unchallenged position in America
since its appearance in 1934. Now,
as a result of intensive research
since 1936, Webster’s third edition
is making its appearance.
The new dictionary claims to in
clude one hundred thousand new
words or new definitions, many of
which are scientifice or technologi
cal terms or meanings that have
come into existence since 1934.
While undoubtedly the new dic
tionary is superior in many ways,
some writers are questioning the
treatment of the general reading
language. The new dictionary has
been ciritcized for its unreserved
acceptance of such expressions as
wise up" and “get hep” as stan
dard without such qualifying status
labels as colloquial, slang or sub
standard.
What wories some writers is that
the lexicographer is apparently
abrogating his major responsibili
ty of discriminating between what
is questionable and what is proper
usage.
It is too early to make an intel
ligent appraisal of Webster’s 3rd
new International Dictionary of
the English language. It will take
years of usage before it can be
properly evaluated.—Exchange. j
John T. Dennis says he who cir- I
culates false rumors or untruths
may be likened to one who passes j
counterfeit currency. Both are j
equally reprehensible. Mr. Dennis, |
yous spoke a parable!
Adding decomposed leaves and j
other organic matter to the soil j
changes the soil structure so that ]
|it is better aerated and has better j
water holding capacity, according J
| to an Extension Horticulturist.
