TALK
Professor Dexter Williams said:
“Talk is the principle product of
the world. It is divided into
plain, loud, big, back, double,
idle and just. It is said in every
language known to man, and of
course, to women. It comes out
of loudspeakers, professional
speakers, after dinner speakers
and plain wind bags.
“It is a means of communica
tion, explanation, exaggeration,
and prevarication. It is one means
of getting out of line and into
trouble.
“Some is good; some is bad;
some is indifferent, and some, no
doubt, necessary. Everybody a
grees there is too much of it, but
the problem is how to get less
without doing more.”
If we could realize the mean
ing of these two sentences we
would have less talk, and more
careful talk: “A word fitly spo
ken is like apples of gold in pic
tures of silver” (Proverbs 25:11),
and “The most powerful drugs
are not found in medical books.
You find them alphabetically in
dictionaries.”
“I’ve learned one thing in
Washington,” said Defense Sec
retary Charles E. Wilson, at a
recent White House breakfast:
“You can get into plenty of trou
ble by talking — even when you
tell the truth.” Wilson has dec
orated a small room adjoining
his main office with the originals
of twenty-odd newspaper car
toons based on his “bird dogs -
kennel dogs” remark. Most of
those framed are critical of the
Secretary. ,
Why do we like to talk? Maybe
because we like to hear ourselves.
Representative Carroll Reece
(R-Tenn.), one-time GOP Nation
al Chairman, told a National
Press Conference this story.
Reece said, regarding his own
speeches, that he feels something
like Brother Jesse Cole, a preach
er back home in Tennessee. Once
Brother Cole found himself in a
social group where the talk turn
ed to famous preachers. Asked to
express an opinion as to the best
preacher in these parts” Jesse
reflected and replied: “Well,
when I’m feeling right, I’d just
as soon hear myself preaching as
any of them!”
Because we like to hear our
selves, we usually say too much
and quite often the wrong thing.
Will Rogers, acting as toast
master at a dinner one evening,
was annoyed by the lengthy talk
of the man he introduced. The
long winded bore finally ended

his oratory. Will Rogers rose and
said, “Friends, you have just
listened to that famous Chinese
statesman, On Too Long.”
If we are On Too Long we
will usually say the wrong thing
now and then. We will find our
selves in the predicament of the
mother who, one blistering hot
day when she had guests for din
ner, asked her four year old
daughter to return thanks. Em
barrassed, she protested, “But,
mother, I don’t know what to
say.” “Oh, just say what you’ve
heard me say,” the another told
her. Obediently, she bowed her
head and said, “Oh, Lord, why
did I invite these people here
this hot day?” -
Talking is important, and we
need to be able to do it well.
In an article in “Charm” maga
zine, Flora Rheta Schreiber says:
“Your vocabulary is the middle
man between you and the world.
It is your representative in con
gress of human and business re
lations, a representative that
casts its vote in your interests
or against them, according to its
quality. How the vote will go
depends on your recognition of
the importance of a comprehen
sive vocabulary and your dilli
gence in learning to speak your
way around with the authority
born of knowledge.”
Alma Boy
Drowns in
Farm Pond
ALMA, Ga. — A fourteen
year-old Alma youth drowned
Monday afternoon while swim
ming in a farm pond.
Wayland Allen went swimming
with three other boys who had
been gathering tobacco on the
Dennis Adams farm. His compan
ions said they saw him jump
into deep water, but that they
were unable to locate him.
Wayland Cribb, 14, who ran
for help for the drowned boy,
was involved in a similar tragic
accident about a year ago when
Johnny Taylor, who lived across
the street from young Allen, was
dorwned. Young Cribb ran about
a mile to get aid.
The accident took place about
four miles north of Alma, accord
ing to Deputy Clint Gilliard.
The boy was pulled from the
water later by Dennis and Ed-

STRAWBERRIES
George Firor, horticulturist for
the Agricultural Extension Ser

to apply fertilizer to strawberry
plants. He advised use of the
recommended fertilizer for the
grower’s area at the rate of 600
pounds per acre or one and one
half pounds to 25 feet of row.
Firor says the fertilizer should
be broadcast over the entire bed
when the foliage is dry.

Average per-acre corn yield in
Georgia increased from about ten
bushels per acre in the early
twenties to 22.5 bushels per acre
in 1955, according to J. R. John
son, Agricultural Extension Ser
vice agronomist.
Results from last year’s State
five-acre cotton contest reveal
that 139 contestants each made
two or more bales per acre, us
ing an average of 773 pounds of
4-12-12 fertilizer and 45 pounds
of nitrogen as a side dressing
per acre.
SOON several hundred nuclear
engineers and scientists from
Lockheed’s Georgia Division
will move to the North Georgia
mountain country to speed
progress on the Air Force’s
atom-powered plane. Opera
tions at the nuclear airplane test
site will be hidden deep in a
large acreage near Dawsonville.
As at other atomic centers
throughout the U.S., special pre
cautions will preclude any radi

in range, atom planes of the
future—built in Georgia—may
fly around the world between
dawn and dark of the same day.
