Reynolds, Qeorgia Conservation Means More Than Saving Freeman Declares By G. Ross Freeman, Chaplain Georgia Association of Soil Conservation District Supervisors Nearly every community has a water problem. One-fourth of the population today is troubled with water shortage, poor water, or both. An the prospects are for even more difficulty in the future. Most people give little thought to the “water cycle.’’ A gushing stream meets our need when we turn a ap. But where does water come ’rom? Can we be sure to always have enough? Water falls from the clouds In the form of rain, snow, hail, or sleet. Some runs off the surface of the earth, carrying valuable topsoil with it, until it reaches a stream and makes its way to the ocean. Some is retained in the soil and is used by the plants whose thirsty roots keep searching for it. Some of it filters into underground streams where it reappears later as a spring, or an artesian well, or emerges from a hillside to wander downward toward the ocean. The warm sun draws mist out of the lakes, ponds, or oceans. These droplets are gathered into clouds and released again on the earth to continue the cycle. Beautiful poetry has been written about the journey of a water drop. Constant reminders are needed that man has nothing to do with the creation of water. Tho we can mix hydrogen and oxygen to pro duce a little, wat«"-‘ls the gift of God to us. In the arid countries of the Near East thirst is common and water is always at -a premium. Peddlers, carrying skins filled with water, walk thru the dusty village streets crying v “The gift of God. Who will buy?” Even in Georgia, water is the gift of God. Crops bliste^, grasses pare?, animals suffer, and depression stalks when droughts come. Man cannot live five days without it. | The soil and water stewardship committee of the Ga. Assn. Conser vation District Supervisors invites you to join in considering “The Stream of Life” during next week —May 27 thru 30.

VanLandingham, State Di rector, FHA, U.S. Department of Ag riculture, says that during the 12- year operation of its rural housing loan program, losses on principal^ have amounted to only two one- hundredths of one per cent for the nation. The statement was based on the status of aJU loans obligated up to last December 31. In Georgia, $22,600,000 has been advanced in rural housing loans, S. L. VanLandinghamsaid, and princi pal interest poyments about $8 mil lion. Of the $22.6 million in Geor gia loans, the agency has not in curred any losses. A fifth of all loans have been repaid in full, FHA said. Payments of principal and interest on t he 2500 loans outstanding, total $4 million, or 107 per cent of the amouit that has become due. “Loans under this program are made only to those who cannot ob tain financing from conventional’ sources. Therefore, this is a remark able tribute to the financial in tegrity of rural families, and their ability to manage their financial affairs,” said Ga. State Director S- L VanLandingham. The repayment record on ruraF housing loan borrowers also is a tribute to the judgment of the 312: county committeemen of the FHA who assist in evaluating soundness of the loans, the State Director said. “This program provides benefits throughout the entire rural-based! small town economy,” he said.. "Contractors, small businessmen: supplying contractors, and building trade workers all benefit * thru in creased business. Their stepped-up 1 activity in turn stimulates the en tire rural economy. The approxi mately $5 million in housing- loans the FHA has made available this year is the equivalent*-'** many new industries in terms of more jobs and greater purchasing pow er.” Your Loyfely ' 4 ** i " “ ' Home Ready for June Wedding Parties Let Christopher Interior Dec orators help you plan beauti ful color blends in your home?
