SILENCE IS A TALENT
Speech is a wonderful thing.
For, as someone has said, every
word we use goes out on an
errand. Skill in saying what
we mean so as to get the
result we desire is not a
literary frill around the edge
of business and soical life.
It is an essential part of life, our
only means of intellectual contact
with the world around us.
But as Josephine Lawrence
says: “Silence is a talent as great
ly cherished as that other asset,
the gift of speech.”
“Without solitude,” says Wil
liam H. Lowe, “man is but half
alive. He is deprived of the rich
ness of quiet memory and the
evaluation of experience, of the
total play of the power of intell
ect, of the exercise of indepen
dent judgment and decision, of
the experience of human courage,
and even of the full knowledge
of love.”
But, according to Dr. Halford
Luccock, “Many of the modern
inventions and devices seem de
signed to keep people from the
calamity of ever being alone. For
a long time we have had portable
radios; now we have portable
television sets. These will save
us from the necessity of ever hav
ing to rub two thoughts together
to make a luminous friction in
our minds.”
Charles L. Allen says in his
book, “How to Have the Peace

Thriving Lamar County geographically is in the heart of Georgia
and it is perhaps a symbol of the state’s rapid growth and pro
gress. Lamar is famous for its diversified pecan industries. In
addition, it is the site of manufacturing plants producing textiles,
clothing and furniture. Its county seat, Barnesville, is the home
of Gordon Military College, one of the oldest schools in the
South. Founded in 1852, reorganized twenty years later and
named for the famous War Between the States military hero,
General John B. Gordon, it is a pathfinder for secondary educa
tion in Georgia.
Lamar ia a progreeei ve county. In it, and throughout Georgia
the United States Brewers Foundation works constantly to as
sure the sale of beer and ale under pleasant, orderly conditions.
Believing that strict law enforcement serves the best interest of
the people of Georgia, the Foundation stresses close cooperation
with the Armed Forces, law enforcement and governing officials
in its continuing "self-regulation” program.

spiritual healing, said, ‘No man
or woman of my acquaintance
who knows how to practice sil
ence and does it has ever been
sick to my knowledge.’ Surely,
the practice of silence is more
soothing and healing than most
medicines. Pascal, the great scien
tist, said, ‘After observing hu
man kind over a long period of
years, I came to the conclusion
that one of man’s great troubles
is his inability to be still’.”
James H. Snowden says of the
text in Revelation 8:1 (“And
when he opened the seventh seal,
there followed a silence in
heaven about the space of half
an hour): “I do not know what
this text means, except that this
silence in heaven was useful
and beautiful in its time or the
jubilant strains of that celestial
life would have never been hush
ed for the space of half an hour.
And if silence has its uses in the
heavenly life, it must have its
uses in the earthly life, for earth
approaches perfection only as it
approaches heaven.
“God uses silence in nature.
He unbinds the roaring cataract
and rolls the thunder through
the air, but he also calms the
torrent into placid smoothness
and stills the air in the silence
of night. These moments of rest
ful cessation in nature have their
uses as well as its tumultuous
activities; and as God thus works
in nature, so also in providence
and reveation he not only at times
speaks, but also at times keeps
silent.
“The power of speech is one of
the glories of man, but it is
equally important that this ton
gue should be able to keep silent
as to speak. The dampers that
. hush the strings of a piano are as
essential as the hammers that
make them vibrate, for silence
is an necessary to music as sound.
Incessant speech would be intol
erable, and one spoken word may
do infinite harm where silence
would have been golden wisdom.
There is a time to speak and a
time to keep silent, and the sil
ence may be as useful and beauti
ful in its time, as rich meaning,
as fruitful in growth, as full of
life and joy as the most urgent
and eloquent speech.”
William L. Sullivan says in his
book “Under Orders”: “There is
no species of training that I ever
underwent to which I owe more
than to the habit of regular
periods of inner solitude. Solitary
we must be in life’s great hours
of moral decision; . . . pain and
sorrow;. . . old age and our going
forth at death. Fortunate is the
man who has learned what to do
with solitude and brought him
self to see what companionship
he may discover in it . . .”
Airman Smith
Killed When
Car Overturns
Walter H. Smith, 20, was killed
instantly Saturday morning about
2:30 A.M. when he apparently
lost control of his car and it
overturned at the curve on the
left near Johnson’s Lumber
Company inside the Blackshear
city limits.
The car was completely demo
lished and Smith died from skull
injuries when he was thrown
from the car.
He was a native of Pierce coun
ty and was home on leave from
Turner Air Force Base in Albany.
Survivors are his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Leon Harvey Smith; two
sisters, Misses Dorcus and Kath
erine Smith; and one brother,
Jimmy Smith, all of Blackshear.
Funeral services were held
Monday at St. John’s Methodist
Church with Rev. Ashley Hobbs
and Rev. E. E. Hart officiating.
Burial was in the High Bluff
cemetery in Brantley county.
Pallbearers were members of
his squadron with military rites
at the graveside.
Darling Funeral Home was in
charge.
Hearing Set On
Extradition of
Col. Elmer Walker
ATLANTA, —. An extradition
hearing for Col. Elmer H. Walk
er, former chief of staff at Ft.
Ord., Calif., who was charged by
his former wife with stealing
their young sons, is to be held
Feb. 20.
The child stealing charge was
filed Aug. 29, 1956, by Mrs. Eliza
beth Wing Concannon at San
Jose, Calif. She maintained
Walker took their sons, Elmer, 11,
and Charles, 9, from Atherton,
Calif. Under the divorce agree
ment Walker was allowed to have
the boys with him for half the
summer vacation if he did not
take them out of California.
After Mrs. Concannon brought
the charges, Gov. Goodwin Kni
ght asked Georgia to extradite
Walker. If convicted in the Calif
ornia courts he could be sent
enced up to 20 years.
Georgia is second in the nation
in the number of acres in certi
fied Tree Farms.
