Newspaper Page TextNegro Members Raising Funds For 4-H Center DUBLIN — Georgia’s 53,082 Negro 4-H Club members are go ing t° make sure they have some thing to be thankful for this Thanksgiving day. They’ve set out to give 25 cents a piece and build a cottage at their 4-H Club Center here. Alexander Hurse, state Negro 4-H Club agent who announced the plan, said the boys and girls want to speed construction on the project themselves. But more than that, he added, they think people who are able to give much more than a quarter will be a lot more interested in giving it when they see that Negro 4-H’ers are boosting the project too. The deadline for the 4-H mem bers’ campaign is November 16. There will be a roll call of coun ties, at that time, last day of the annual State Negro 4-H Congress, and a representative of each county will present .the quarters and make his report. Officers of the State Negro 4-H Council and other leaders don’t like to think about the possibility of maybe not reaching their goal by November 16. “But if they don’t,” Hurse said, “we’ll extend the deadline to December 25 and let the cottage be a Christmas present.” Leaves, hay straw or sawdust used as a mulch has proved suc cessful in holding moisture and keeping down weeds.

Blalock, Pastor Emmanuel Baptist Church, Blackshear hanged On his OWN GALLOWS There is an interesting story in the book of Esther about a man by the name of Haman. He is known as the man who built a gallows for someone else and was hanged on it himself. It is an old story. It is a tragic story. Too, it is a story that is being reacted every day. The Associated Press sometime ago reminded us that there are still Hamans today. It reported the story from Big Store Gap, Virginia, of how the body of Mrs. Julia Lane, 35, was found en tangled in a fence which she and her husband, Ballard Lane, had electrified with no volts to keep boys out of their tomatoes. Killed by her own electric fence. We have a principle here that is extremely important. It is this: Anything evil which we carry in our minds against others is bound to have a bad effect on ourselves.” It is true of hatred. The late Fulton Oursler wrote of a wom an who faced an operation for ulcers. When the Doctor told her that she had ulcers, he discover ed that she had developed them because she harbored a resent ment for her husband because he wouldn’t buy her a fur coat. Os course, they paid for a fur coat, but they didn’t get it. The “Baptist Observer” says: “When we hate our enemies, we give them power over us—power over our sleep, our appetites, our blood pressure, our health, and our happiness. Our hatred is not hurting our enemies at all; it only turns our own days and nights into a hellish turmoil.” E. Santley Jones says: “A rat tlesnake, if cornered, will be come so angry it will bite itself. That is exactly what the harbor ing hate and resentment against others is—a biting of oneself. We think we are harming others in holding these spites and hates, but the deeper harm is to our selves.” Hoses Ballou is right when he says that hatred is just self-punishment. Exclusiveness is another evil which, if we carry in our lives against others, is bound to have a bad effect on ourselves. Ex clusiveness is truly an electri fied fence. When we wall other people out of our lives, we wall our own selves in. Bars are not the only things which .make a pri son; the wall of exclusiveness does of a certainly. And if we continue to stay in this prison we will starve of spiritual mal nutrition. There is quite a contrast be tween the Sea of Galilee and that sea called Dead. The Sea of Gali lee tingles with life around her borders and on her soil there grow trees, weeds, and willows. Beneath her waters live fish, and because of their abundance men make a living thereby. But to the south the sea called Dead is really, for her soils are barren, her waters salt, and there is no life in or ground the sea. The reason for this is that the Sea of Galilee gives—it gives the river of Jordan—and the Dead Sea takes—it takes the river of Jordan. There are no outlets. This is like so many people’s lives. They have no outlets. They take all they can get and then wall themselves with an exclu siveness which eventually des troys. Those who give really live, those who take and then wall themselves up are really dead. Throttle and Bottle Deadly On Highways CHICAGO — “A loaded gun is no more dangerous than a half;loaded driver.” Ned H. Dear born, president of the National Safety Council, asserted today. “For one thing, the driver isn’t recognized as alethal weapon.” Mr. Dearborn, appealing to civic organizations and enforce ment officials to “Back the Att ack” against traffic accidents, pointed out that drinking drive rs and drinking pedestrians are more prevalent during the Chri stmas holidays than at any other time of the year. Because of the emergency tra ffic situation, with its risingtoll, Mr. Dearborn said a year-round “Back the Attack on Traffic Ac cidents” campaign is being laun ched this December and will con tinue throughout 1957. The purpose of the campaign is, first, to encourage public of ficials to step up the attack and, second, to stimulate citizens to back the attack on traffic ac cidents. The December emphasis will be on drinking drivers and pedest rians, night driving, speed, and pedestrian hazards. The throttle and the bottle were the big reasons why a rec ord 609 persons were killed in traffic accidents last Christmas, according to a study made by the National Safety Council. Drinking drivers were involved in 55 per cent of the fatal mis haps, although normally they are involved on around 20 per cent, the study showed. Speed was a factor in 85 per cent, compared with an annual average of 35 per cent. The .most common driver action contributing to fatal accidents was driving on the wrong side of the road or in the center of the road. Failure to observe a signal or stop sign was second. Mechanical failure or tire blow outs were responsible for only four of the fatal accidents studied. One-third of the pedestrian victims were crossing between intersections, stepping from be hind a parked car or walking on a roadway.
