Newspaper Page TextWeekly Devotional BILLY H. RING, Paato r Jackson Church of the Naxarene HAVE YOU EVER PRAYED THIS PRAYER? Almighty God, as I lie here on the bed this lovely Sunday morn ing surrounded by the Sunday paper und half listening to a radio church service, it has just come to me that I have lied to Thee and myself. I said I did not feel well enough to go to church. This was not true. I was not am bitious enough. I would have gone to my job had it been Monday morning. I would have played golf had it been Wednesday afternoon. I would have attended my luncheon club had it met this afternoon. I would have been able to go to a banquet if it had been Saturday night. But it is Sunday morning, and Sunday illness covers a multitude of sins. I was not ill—l am lazy and indiffer ent. PERSONAL Mr. George H. Mathewson re turned home Saturday from Syl van Grove Hospital where he had been a patient for the past 2<i days, his many friends will be interested to know. Miss Peggy Glass, student at the University of Georgia, spent the weekend with her mother, Mrs. Douglas Glass. Mr. and Mrs. Ricky James of Macon spent the weekend with Mr. and Mrs. Barney Wilde r and Mrs. Clyde Walker. Cpl. Jamie Norsworthy, sta tioned in Vietnam for the past year, arrived Saturday night and reported back to Charleston, S.

THANKS It is my desire to express pub licly through this news print a sincere thanks and deep appreci ation for the many friends who have visited with me in person, sent cards, gifts or had prayer in my behalf during the month of December and these New Year days. Thanks to Dr. Howell for allowing my return home and to all the Sylvan Grove Hospital staff for your kind attention the 26 days there. May the Lord bless each of you with health and hap piness throughout this year and years to come.—George H.

Phone 786-7088 3,582 Local Residents Moved Once (Special to the Progre*-Argu) NEW YORK, Jan. 9—Just how often are residents of Butts County likely to pick up and move to another address? How many of them have been living in the same house for more than five years? According to the latest figures on the mobility of the population, from governmental and other sources, nearly one person out of every five in the United States is living in a different house than he occupied five years ago. As for local families, they are less likely to pull up stakes and move than are people in most parts of the -country. Data gathered over the years by the Department of Commerce shows that the proportion of movers in any given area re mains quite steady, year after year. The most recent figures cover ing BUtts C'ouhty show that some 3,5.82 local residents changed their addresses at least once in a period of five years. Included in this total were 2,- 889 who merely moved to other locations within the county and 693 who came from outside the county to make their home in the local area. Some, on the other hand, moved to other sections of the country. How many is not known, pending the 1970 census data on mobility, expected to be released toward the cud of 1971. What the figures show, in es sence, is that 45 out of every 100 people in Butts County over the age of five, were living in different houses than they had THE COMMUNITY CHURCH OF JACKSON Rev. W. A.

The 45 percent of movers was smaller than in the United States as a whole, the average being 47 percent. The comparable figure in the South Atlantic States was 50 per cent and, in the State, of Geor gia, 51 per cent. A number of situations and cir cumstances are cited to account for the restlessness shown by so many people. More than two-thirds of those who move do so because of hous ing or because of some other ne cessity or choice involving liv ing arrangements, according to Census Bureau findings. Other reasons given for moving were “to take a job” or “to look for work” or because of a “job transfer.” Often, also, a change in mar ital status dictates the move.
