All right, then, tell me, just what DOES it take? We’ve put out warnings, time and again, asking people to PLEASE be careful on the water. Yet there were a number of drownings in May. Maybe not so many as other years, but the weather wohl6emijth w s cooler, and perhaps there were fewer boats on the water. Then comes June. And with it comes a rash of drownings. Need less deaths. Just because somebody simply wasn’t as careful as he should have been. When you’re putting your boat in the water at the start of a day’s pleasure, be it fishing or just pleasure boating, stop for just an instant. Think! You enjoy this sport? Want to return again sometime? Want to see your family and loved ones again? Then, man, when you’re on the water, ACT like it! Operate your boat in such a way that you’ll know for sure you’ll be back. Never let it get out of your mind that accidents CAN hap pen—and they will, unless you remain conscious of the possibil ity. Sure, statistics say boating is safer than driving a car. That’s not saying much. The most dan gerous thing the average person does is to get out on the highway in a car. Yet safe boating re quires at least as much—in my opinion more—caution than does safe driving. There are a lot more aspects to consider. You don’t have a white line to follow, for example, to make sure you’re on the right side of the road. Continuous Intersection You know how uncertain you feel when approaching an inter section of two or more roads where there’s no stop sign? That’s the situation you’re in all the time on the water. A boat may be coming at you from any direction, any time. Keep those eyes open! And stay away from boats not underway, or boats smaller than yours. If you have a good sized 16 or 18 foot runabout, and like to slip along at high speeds, re- CITY ORDINANCE Be it ordained by the Mayor and Council of the City of Jack son and it is hereby ordained by the authority of the same that the voters registration record for City be closed on September 23, 1966, at five o’clock for General Election for City officials.

GEORGIA member there’s a lot of force in the water thrown off by your boat. Water has a lot more force than the air off a moving car, even though boats can’t go nearly as fast. A wake can swamp a small boat, moving or not. Especially if its passengers are standing up, fishing or something else, which is another thing that should definitely not be done. A small boat crossing the wake of a larger boat can really get bounced around. When a wake comes your way, cross it at a right angle, or as close to it as possible. Taking it sideways will give you quite a roll, maybe more than you bargained for. Water skiers must use extra caution. Skiers may swing wider than the pulling boat. And the skier is dependant upon the boat for direction of travel and power. You just can’t maneuver as well as the boat can sometimes. Boat operators, keep your eyes open when pulling skiers. Look out ahead AND behind. Play it safe. Carry an observer aboard while pulling water skiers. To Each Hi* Own Fishermen and pleasure boat ers don’t always get along too well. Really, there’s no need for any problems. Fishermen rarely anchor in open water. And small covers are really no place for pleasure boating, unless coming or going from a landing. And anybody, no matter why they are on the water, should take it slow when approaching any dock area, anchorage or swimming area. Stay clear as pos sible of swimmers. I’ve seen cases when pleasure boaters thought it was “smart” to ride across fishing lines of trollers. In the long run, the fish erman may have the last laugh. That monifiliment line sure can Weekly Devotional By W. A. HOLSTON Missionary (o Brazil “ . . . Follow me. And he arose and followed ...” Mark 2:14. The call went out to Matthew and was at once obeyed. Leaving the lucrative position of tax col lector with the Roman govern ment he embraces all that goes with shunning material security, including the loss of prestige and achievement. And why? Simply because behind the call is Jesus Christ himself. It is Jesus who calls, and because it is Jesus, Matthew follows immediately. As the Christ, the Son of God, He has the right to make such a de mand and receive absolute obe dience from any who bear the name Christian. No praise is giv en, none is necessary, for Levi (Matthew) travels the only road to Christian discipleship, obedi ence. Four year ago, almost to the day, I tendered my resignation to the City of Jackson, to enter the ministry. Many have not yet understood why. To a few it was to do something more worthwhile, to others it was just plain crazy. But I left the city, not to be doing something just worthwhile, but simply for the sake of the call of Jesus Christ to follow Him. I be came a “tag-along” to follow in His footsteps, having no intelli gible program for a way of life, no goal, nor ideal to strive for. It was not a matter of choosing, but rather yielding to Christ and simply “burning bridges” and forsaking. The act of following is quite devoid of significance; beside Jesus nothing has any sig nificance. He alone matters. When we are called to follow Christ, we are summoned to an exclusive attachment to His per son. Paul said “ ... to me, to live is Christ.” The grace of His call breaks all the fetters of legalism, denominationalism, and human doctrine. This is Christianity with a living Christ, a Christ who spoke to me four years ago to ruin a bearing on the propeller shaft in a hurry. Above all, cut out all horseplay and keep your senses about you on the water. Keep life preserv ers close at hand at all times. If your boat turns over, stay with it until help comes. And if you see anyone else needing help, help them. The tables may be turned sooner than you think. Remember, if you STILL insist on being a water accident statis tic, at least don’t take anyone with you. mm I mm H ■■ l{ ■■ ■■ f V Monticello, Ga. Tues., Sept. 20 225 ACRE FARM Property of J.

Before you answer, listen to what else you’d get along with that 16d steak. • Your family income would be around SI,OOO a year. • You’d have an ice box instead of a refrigerator. • You’d have a wind-up phonograph instead of a hi-fi. • And, a cross-country phone call would cost more than $17.00 instead of the SI.OO plus tax you pay today! But we can get even more specific than that. Back in the days of 16<- steak, the average Georgia telephone subscriber paid a little less a month for local telephone service than he pays today. But he could call, and be called by, only a small fraction of the number of local phones he can reach today—and none at all in some towns after “central” quit at 5 p.m. That means that the value of your phone dollar has multiplied many fold.
