Official Organ of Brantley County Religiously Speaking By Rev. Howard D. Blalock, Pastor Emmanuel Baptist Church, Blackshear THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME A real estate agent was trying to sell a home to a young wo man. She replied: “A home? Why do I need a home? I was bom in a hospital, educated in a college, courted in an automobile, and married in a church. I get my food at restaurants and delicat essens. I spend my mornings at golf, my afternoons at bridge, and my evenings dancing or at the movies. And when I die I will be buried from the undertaker’s. All I need is a garage”. Unfortunately this young wo man is not the only person who has no concept of what a home is and can do. Many people are ignorant about this subject. The little boy said: “Ignorance is when you don’t know something and somebody finds it out”. That is the tragedy of being ignorant AUCTION ABERDEEN - ANGUS WAYCROSS LIVESTOCK MARKET Waycross, Georgia. Monday, Feb. 20th, at 1:00 P.M.

More and more people are going to their doctors in time. Thal is encouraging! But the tragic fact, our doctors tell us, is that every third cancer death is a needless death ... twice as many could be saved. , YOUR BEST CANCER INSURANCE is (1) to see your doctor every year for a thorough checkup, no matter how well you may feel (2) to see your doctor immediately at the first sign of any one of the 7 danger signals that may mean cancer. । For a list of those life-saving warning signals and other facts of life about cancer, call the American Cancer Society office nearest you or simply write to “Cancer” in care of your local Post Office. of what a home is; “Somebody finds it out”. Juvenile delinquency tells the secret. J. Edgar Hoover, Direct or Federal Bureau of Investiga tion, says in the article, “Why I believe in the Sunday School”: “Nearly 20% of all our crime is committed by boys and girls of less than voting age.” Add to this the words of Dr. Lauretta Bender of York University, who says: “Far more' children should be delinquent than actually are. They have an amazing capacity to tolerate bad parents, poor teachers, dreadful homes and communities”. Mary Mannes has an interest ing thing to say when she quotes a worker at New York’s Youth House detention center, “delinq uent children have already been punished severly; They have been punished by appalling homes, by filthy environment, by ignorant or violent of defective elders, what they do, however horrible, is their answer to punishment”. James D. Alberse says, “I’ve got a plan to lick juvenile delinq uence. I propose we bring into captivity every teen-ager and as sign him two adults, preferably a man and a woman. These ad ults would be given full authority over ,the teen-ager. “Adults and teen-agers would live together as a kind of cell (like the old-time fanUly) on a very friendly basis. The teen-ager would be made to feel at home (adults will have to be educated in how to communicate this feel ing), but in all major things they would be subject to the orders of the adults. Major things would include attendance at school, at tention to dress and manners, care in choosing friends, and being where the adults want them to be. “Somebody else thought of the plan before I did. It was summed up in a law handed to Moses, Honor thy father and mother’. The following is from an edit orial in “The Saturday Evening Post”: Not long ago, a New York City judge wrote to The New York Times saying that in the 17 years he had been on the bench not one Chinese-American teen ager had been brought before him on juvenile delinquency charge. The judge queried his col leagues and they agreed that not one of the city’s estimated 10,000 Chinese - American teen-agers, to their knowledge, had ever been hauled into court on a depreda tion, narcotics, speeding, burglary vandalism, stick-up, purse-snatch ing or mugging accusation. A check with San Francisco, where there is a large colony of Chinese- Americans, tells the same story. The same holds true of Chicago. P. H. Chang, Chinese Counsul- General in New York City, asked to comment, said: “I have heard this story many times from jud ges. I will tell you why I think this is so. Filial piety is a cardinal virtue my people have brought over from the China that was once free. A Chinese child no matter where he lives, is brought up to recognize that he cannot shame his parents. Before a Chin ese child makes a move, he stops to think what the reaction of hrs parents will be. Will they be proud or will they be ashamed? Above all other things, the Chin ese teen-ager is anxious to please his parents.” “Most Chinese - Americans, no matter how wealthy or poor, maintain a strict, family - style home. Mealtimes are ceremonious affairs which must be attended by every member of the family. Schooling, the reverence for re ligion, and decorum plus rev erence for the elders are the prime movers in developing the child from infancy. “The amazing record of the Chinese - American youngsters shows that it is in the home that the cure for juvenile delinquency will be found, and in no other place.” TO SAVE BAKING TIME Georgia homemakers can save time by baking cakes in loaf pans instead of in layers. This method requires less time for icing the cake and cleaning the pans. The cake baker also can save the time she would spend icing the cake by sprinkling white or brown sugar, chocolate, coconut or nut meats on top before bak ing or when partially baked. Farmers Urged To Plant Their Cotton Acreage Georgia farmers were told this week that they can stop the west ward movement of cotton and add to their income by planting all their allotted cotton acreage. W. H. Sell, agronomist for the Agricultural Extension Service at the College, of Agriculture, said farmers failed by about 10 per cent to plant the state allotment last year. This, plus an overall cut in acreage, contributed to a loss of 47,597 acres for cotton this year. Sell continued that Georgia’s allotment for 1955 was 958,000 acres. Only 885,000 acres were planted. The agronomist pointed out that the state allotment is based on the average acreage planted to cotton in a previous five-year period. “That average,” he stated, “has been going down.” Pre-measurement of acreage was recommended as one way farmers can tell accurately if they are planting all their allotment. Sell said official measurement of 1956 farm cotton acreage allot ments prior to planting time can be arranged through county Ag ricultural Stabilization and Con servation committees. This ser- 1 Vice is provided on a cost basis. Sell said pre-measurement is optional, and is offered to grow ers who prefer to have an offi cial measurement to use as a planting guide. He continued that it is the only way to be sure of how much cotton is planted. It was pointed out that small, ir regular fields on most Georgia farms make it impossible to ac curately estimate acreage. Growers who do not plan to plant their entire allotment were urged to turn the unwanted ac reage back tp the county ASC committee so it can be re-allot ted to other farmers. “Failure to plant the state allotment this year will result in our losing more acreage in the future,” Sell de clared. 641000 Questions GEORGIA POWER *» LIGHT COMPANY Proposal To Cut Tobacco Acreage Dies WASHINGTON — A proposal to cut flue-cured tobacco quotas was pigeonholed by a House com mittee Monday as unnecessary and too late. The tobacco committee recom mended to the House Agriculture Committee that the proposal be tabled—an action that effective ly kills legislation. There was no question that the full committee would accept the recommendation. Chairman Coo ley (D-NC), in introducing a bill to authorize the cut said he did so only by request and didn’t be lieve the cut was necessary. At a hearing all members of Congress who appeared to pre sent their views opposed ^ae pro posal. In announcing its action, the tobacco committee said it want ed to “sincerely commend” a 15- member committee representing the flue-cured areas which rec ommended the cut. It praised the tobaccomen for their interest in the flue-cured program that was “so great that they are willing to accept, and to advocate, a further reduction in the 1956 allotments. “Had this action been taken at the time quotas were originally announced, or even as late as one month ago,” the committee said “tobacco producers might have been able to adjust themselves to the reduced acerage.” However, the committee report ed, the proposed 8 per cent cut piled on a previously ordered 12 per cent reduction, would “entail not only economic shock to the whole tobacco area, but actual distress to many producers.” It pointed out, too, that the re duction would come after plant Perhaps that figure is too high,' or maybe it is low.

HELPING TO BUILD SOUTH GEORGIA beds had been sown, fertilizer and supplies purchased, contracts made with tenant farmers and arrangements made for field planting. To contentions of the 15-mem ber committee that production should be cut to prevent a sur plus, the House committee re plied in its statement: “Evidence indicates that with normal production the acreage now allocated will produce more tobacco than most growers would like to see on the market, but not an unmanageable surplus and that the possible risk of over production with the present quo ta is not as impelling as the cer tainty of the distress that will follow from an additional cut in acreage at this late date.” Shrubs that produce flowers on wood of the previous season should, generally, be pruned af ter flowering, says Extension Landscape Specialist T.
