QUNM nj 1 Election day is September 121 Many teen-agers in our county, as well as throughout the state, will vote for the first time. Georgia, under the leadership of Governor Ellis Arnall, re duced the voting age to 18 in 1943. This system has worked out fairly well in our state. There have been no valid objections raised. There has been considerable talk in all the states of reducing the voting age ot 18. However, after almost 20 years, Georgia has remained one of the few states with the lowered voting age. Other states find many pro and con arguments on decreasing the voting age to 18 years. Arguments favorable to the proposals are: those who fight should be allowed to vote, youth is already trusted with heavy responsibilities, today’s young people are more qualified to vote due to educational advances, participation in politics would be wholesome for youth, and the reduction in the voting age would balance the political power of the aged. Arguments unfavorable to the proposals are: fighting has nothing to do with voting, teenagers are not sufficiently mature, the pol itics of the young can be easily manipulated, voting is becoming an increasingly complex job and further improvements in political machinery should precede a reduction in voting age. A Gallop Poll conducted in July, 1953, revealed that sentiment to cut the voting age to 18 had reached an all-time high. The poll found 63% in favor, and 31% opposed. While a sophomore at college we debated the question, "Resolve That All States Should Decrease the Voting Age to 18." Then, just as today, the main argument of the affirmative was - those who fight should be allowed to vote. I will never forget the laughs and applause I received as a member of the negative team when I said, "As expected, the affirmative team continue to compare fighting with voting. In both cases the kinds of qualities, skills, and knowledge involved are not comparable. If we follow the fight-and-vote argument to its extreme, then logically speaking, If a man is old enough to vote when he is old enough to fight, then when he is too old to fight, he is too old to vote." We, the negative, won 2-1. So Come September 12 many 18 year olds throughout the state will cast their vote for the next governor of Georgia. Welcome fellow voters into the Political worldl Vote your convictions on Election Day.

Member 17 4b) by Mrs. Linnie Walker Young Married Class Butler Bantist Church GOD’S LOVE PROCLAIMED Ezekiel 33:1-20; 34 and Psalms 145; 1-13 Thousands of the Jews were In captivity in Babylon, the re sult of their disobedience a- gainst God. They were a stiff necked and rebellious people, blaming their plight on their fathers, refusing to admit their own sins. The false shepherds (leaders) had led them astray and now they were in a state of de spondency. They had been al lowed to carry on their wor ship but being more than a thousand miles from the temple in Jerusalem, the center of their worship, they thought God had forgotten them. As always in the darkest hour God called out the prophet, Ezekiel, to bring a message of hope to his people. The love of God was real to Ezekiel for he had an experience and a vision of God when he gave him his commission. He was a strong personality, exerting influence on the people, arousnig their hopes and re minding them of the covenant God made with Abraham, Issac, Jacob and Moses to send a Messiah which had its fulfill ment when Jesus said, ‘I am the Good Shepherd.’ This message of God's love for his people also brought the assurance of His care for them but on condition they must be obedient. They must follow where the Shepherd leads. Ezekiel 34 has just a few of the ’I wills’ of God that gave comfort to these people and to all that have followed them. Behold, I, even I will both search for my sheep and seek them out. I will feed them and I will cause them to lie down. 1 will save my flock. I will set one Shepherd over them. I, the Lord, will be their God for I have loved thee with an everlasting love. Where they had feared ever- thing he said ‘I will make with them a covenant of peace even with the wild beasts that would destroy them. The wolf shall dwell with the lamb. Apart from God man Cannot be free from fear nor can he have peace with men. God had chosen the Israelites for His people to be a blessing but they had failed Him. Now He is giving them a second chance. ‘I will make them a blessing, there shall be showers of blessings.’ The greatest blessing to any person is the knowledge of God’s love that while we were yet sinners, God so loved us that He gave His only begotten Son to shed His blood to wash away our sins. With this realizstion of the love of God for us undeserv ing creatures that we are we should be willing and anxious to be used to spread this mes sage of hope and love to a dying world saying with Isaiah ‘Here am I, send me’.
