THE DIGNITY OF WORK
u i >
General Electric has a new
electric clock with no wires. By
Christinas about 500 should be
available — at $175 each. The
clock lives, parasite fashion, off
any near-by electrical appliance
that works hard to earn an honest
living.
I am certain General Electric
got the idea for such a clock by
observing human nature.
The Curtis Courier reports that
“of all the working people in of
fices and factories, just fifteen
per cent give more than is re
quired to do their jobs; twenty
five per cent work less than the
minimum standard; and sixty per
cent do barely enough to get by”.
One reason why this is true is
because many people have not
realized the dignity of work.
Work is the means whereby they
obtain money to buy a television
set, a new car, gain admission to
a horse race, or pay the cover
charge at a bight club. Work is
just a bothersome necessity which
furnishes therri the cash required
for these ends.
Ollie James tells a story going
the rounds in Washington which
is interesting. Some British scien
tists, overseeing a construction
project, noticed that one worker
always pulled his wheelbarrow
instead of pushing it. They called
in consultants from the Labor
Ministry, and all together they
studied the matter from every re
spect, sensing that perhaps it
meant a new technique that
might revolutionize the construc
tion industry.
Finally not being able to figure
out any obvious gain from pull
ing a wheelbarrow instead of
pushing it, they called the worker
and asked him about it — urging
him to weigh his words carefully
inasmuch as they might be of
great scientific value. ‘’Why do
I pull me barrow”, the worker
answered. “Because guv’nor, I
can’t stand the sight of the bloody
thing”.
The book of Ecclesiastes 2:24
says: “There is nothing better
for a man than . . . that he should
make his soul enjoy good in his
labor”. Work then is not some
thing which is imposed upon us.
It is a gift which God has given
us, both for well being and our

enjoyment.
Henry Giles says: “Man must
work. That is certain as the sun.
But he may work grudgingly or
he may work gratefully;'he may
work as a man, dr he may work
as a machine. There is no work
so rlide that he may not exalt it;
no wotk so impassive that he
may not breathe into it; no work
so dull that he may not enliven
it”.
The first picture we have of
God in the Bible he is working.
To further remind us of the dig
nity of work God chose to be
come not a lawmaker, ruler or
high priest, but a carpenter.
By this we should conclude
that all work is sacred. As the
Shorter Catechism reminds us:
“Man’s chief end is to glorify
God and to enjoy Him forever”.
The great missionary William
Carey cobbled shoes to the glory
of God. Brother Lawrence, along
with housewives, washed pots
and pans and scoured dishes to
the glory of God. All honest
work can be done for the glory
of God. And if it isn’t honest we
shouldn’t do it.
A businessman had recently
discharged his assistant. “Where’s
Sam?”, asked an acquaintance. I
“Sam doesn’t work here any
more”. Do you have someone in
mind for his vacancy?” “Pshaw,
when Sam left he didn’t leave no
vacancy”. A lot of people are like
Sam.
If you hold your work to be
sacred, you will recognize its dig
nity. It will be a gift from God
and a joy. You and your work
will be important.

slices of it can be broiled safely

Broome Thanks
Brantley Citizens
To the Citizens of
Brantley County:
My deepest gratitude goes out
to those friends who so loyally
supported me in my race for
representative. Also, my friend
ship and good will is extended
to all who opposed me.
I had planned to do a lot of
hard work in the legislature in
behalf of my county and state,
but the majority of those cast
ing their ballots relieved me of
this special work.
I congratulate my successful
opponent- and offer him my co
operation in all good things.
One of the disappointments of
the election was the fact that
only two out of five qualified
voters cared enough about their
$250,000,000 state business to vote
their franchise.
Let us all work together for
the good of all. Brantley County
has been good to me and to my
family. Nothing will give me
greater joy than to do all I can
for all our people.
Yours sincerely,
CARL BROOME.
Two Lamb Sales
Are Announced
For Dec. 7-8
Two sales for finished lambs
have been announced for early
next month that will give farmers
an opportunity to sell lambs that
were too late and too light for
sale at the lamb pools last spring.
The sales will be held Dec. 7 at
the Cordele Livestock Commis
sion COi, Cordele, and Dec. 8, at
the Northeast Georgia Livestock
Auction, Inc., Athens. Both will
begin at 2 p. m. Auction barns
will begin receiving animals by
6 a. m. on the day of the sale,
and farmers are urged to have
their lambs there by noon. This
will allow adequate time for
grading arid weighing.
There are the only planned
lamb pools before March of 1956,
according to R. O. Williams, ani
mal husbandman for the College
of Agriculture Extension Service
and Dennis C. DeLoach, Exten
sion sheep specialist, who an
nounced the events.
“We hope to arrange for a sale
in March to move extremely late
lambs and cull sheep,” Williams
added.
The sales on Dec. 7 and 8 will
be the first fall lamb sales held
in the state. Williams said be
tween 1,000 and 1,500 animals are
expected to be offered at each
P^ce. ‘ . ...
Farm Bureau
Has 7-Point
Ga. Program
MACON — Georgia Farm Bur
eau officials have disclosed that
the 41,000 farm family member
organization would seek approval
of -a seven-point legislative pro
gram in the next session of the
Georgia Legislature.
High on the seven point pro
gram, adopted by the state’s lar
gest independent farm organiza
tion, is an adequate egg law to
give protection to the Georgia
egg producer.
Wingate said the plan would
strengthen Georgia’s egg laws,
assure the consumer a higher
quality egg, and afford the pro
ducer a larger percentage of the
consumers’ egg dollar.
The remaining six point state
legislative program announced by
Farm Bureau officials include:
(1) Immediate activation of the
Commodity Authorities Act pass
ed in 1951.
(2) Establishment of the Inter
national scale as the only legaliz
ed scale in buying and selling of
timber in Georgia.
(3) Adoption of adequate Geor
gia Seed laws including safe
guards for germination, purity,
and cleanness of seed.
(4) Repeal of the recent cigar
ette tax increase.
(5) Improved marketing of
farm products through the State
Farm Markets.
(6) Removal of state tax on
kerosene used by farmers as fuel
on the farm in producing farm
commodities.
“Georgia’s seven point state
legislative program,” Wingate
said, “resulted from several
months study of farm problems
by farmers throughout the state.
The next step will be to obtain
action of these recommendations
by state leaders and members of
the Georgia Legislature.’’
SAVE MONEY ON PORK
Pork, one of the richest meats
in thiamine, is now in plentiful
supply. For housewives who feel
they can’t afford to have pork
chops as often as they would like,
the U. S. Department of Agri
culture suggests buying an entire
pork loin, and using part of it
for chops and the rest for a
roast. The price per pound is
lower, and it is as good as meat
counter chops.
Progress Made
In Eradication
Os Brucellosis
Georgia is making real pro
gress in its Brucellosis eradica
tion program, according to Frank
W. Fitch, dairyman for the Agri
cultural Extension Service of the
College of Agriculture.
Fitch said the progress is
shown in a recent report of the
Animal Disease Eradication
Branch, Agricultural Research
Service, U. S. Department of Ag
riculture. Figures show that from
July 1, 1954, through June 30,
1955, there were 19,226 Georgia
herds tested. These included a
total of 296,563 cattle. During the
same period 39,916 calves were
vaccinated for Brucellosis.
But despite progress made,
Fitch said those responsible for
the operation of the program feel
that it will take increased effort
and participation by all livestock
dwners to have “A Brucellosis
Free Georgia by 1960.” That is
the goal set by the State Brucel
losis Committee.
