New generating plants, transmission and distribution lines mean a busy year ahead. Everyone is using morgr electricity—in homes, businesses, industries and on the farms. To meet this growing demand, almost SB4 million will spent this year to Expand and improve the electrical facilities that serve you. Our investment in construction during the past 10 years exceeds half a billion dollars. A lot of money, sure. But it also makes sure that you have plenty of low-cost electricity when ever and wherever you need it.

JOHNSON Readers are invited to submit questions they would like dis cussed to Mrs. Gladys B Johnson B.ackstear, Ga. Does Scripture teach that child ren «ho die before the ege of accountability go to heaven? Christ teils us distinctly in Mat thew 18:14 that 'lt is not the will j of your Father that one of these iittie ones should perish.” If we real Isaiah 7; 16 we dis cover that there is a period of years when the child does not know “to refuse the evil and choose the good," However, in fanjg are bow hi a state of sin and can be saved only through Christ. But we aiso believe that “For God so loved the world” in cludes infants. So since death came upon all man by Adam and since without a personal act by these children they inherited cor ruption from Adam, so we believe that without a personal act of theirs salvation will be provided tor them by Christ. Scripture does not state any-! thing definitely about the future condition of those who die in in -ancy. but neither are their any nstances of prayer for children taken by death in infancy. Christ nowhere taught that they were in danger of beng lost. Remember David who fasted and wept before God that his child should not die? But w hen it was seven days old. God took it. David's servants were astonish ed at his actions when he learn ed of its death He arose, washed 'imseif. worshipped God and ate Agriculture - American Heritage' Is Theme of National FFA Week This is National Future Farm ers of .America Week, and Geor gia’s 17,563 FFA members are planning special activities to fo cus attention off their organiza tion. The theme of the week, “Agri culture — Our American Heri age," will be carried out in spec ial school and civic club pro grams, FFA parent-son banquets, radio and television programs and in other activities. The FFA is the largest farm boy organization in the world. Members are high school students bf vocational agriculture. There are more than 4W.WO of these members in 9,000 local chapters aver the nation. Activities of the FFA are de signed to heip develop rural lead ership and good citizenship, and to stimulate the members to bet ter achievement in their study and work toward successful es tablishment in farming or other agricultural occupations The Future Farmers in Geor gia last year had a combined la bor income of *3.006.911.69 This, income came from their super vised practice programs that they are reauired to conduct un d^r the guidance of their teach ers of vocational agriculture These programs are designed to operate at a profit so that the Future Farmer may expand his enterprise as he learns, to the end that he may become a self supporting. substantial citizen These members had over four million dollars invested in their project programs last year. These young farmers had 22.- 099 acres of land planted in corn. 2,704 acres in cotton, 376 acres in tobacco and 1,616 acres in pea nuts. They had 900 members to produce 100 bushels or more of com per acre. They also seeded 10,131 acres in temporary graz ing crops, established 12,691 acres of new permanent pasture and improved 26,065 acres of grazing. These students place a lot of emphasis on livestock in their programs. They are owners of 25 - 534 hogs, 3,342 head of dairy cat tle and 9,499 beef animals. Last year they exhibited 213 Grand Champiorr and 179 Reserve Grand Champion animals in local, area and state livestock shows. Contributing to Georgia’s large broiler industry. Future Farmers grew 4,385 324 broilers last year and, in addition, raised 121,527 hens for egg production “National FFA Week seek* to focus attention on the work of the Future Farmers today who will be the nation'* top agricultural leaders of tomorrow,” points out State FFA President. Jimmy- Keith of Greenville “We always observe FFA Week during the •’eek of the anniversary of the birthday of George Washington, whose first love was his farm at Mount Vernon, for there he was one of the first in the nation to practice contour planting and crop rotation, using soil conserv ing methods.” Serving with Keith on the State FFA Officer team this year are vice-presidents Donald Houston, Blakely; Ashley Dekle, Cairo: Raymond Adams, Thomson; Lar ry White. Cleveland; Lee Mulkey Demorest; Billy Camp, Rockmart In answer to their questions David *ad. Can I bring him back a gain? I shall go to him. but he Kall not return to me.” He knew ir. his heart that his son was with God in heaven. The condition for salvation for adults is personal faith. Babies can not meet ths condition. Since Christ died for everyone, provis ion surety will be made for their salvation in another way. At the final judgment. personal conduct is the test of character Infants are incapable of personal transgression so they must be among the saved since this rule will not apply to them. By what means God removes the sin of Adam from the lives of these little ones as they enter heaven's glory, we cannot say. but we can be sure that His love and mercy will be operating in their behalf. His blood was shed for them as it was for you and Since we have no way of know ng the exact time when children become directly responsible 'or accountable Lor their sins, let us as parents teach them from the earliest possible moment that sal vation is only by faith in Christ for all who are old enough to be- lieve in Him. .And Jesus said, ‘Suffer the lit tle children to come shto me. and forbid them not for of such is the kingdom of God.'

PROTECTS PECANS Pecan trees transpunted in pas tures and other areas used by forestock must be protected, ac cording to Horticulturist Shaw Pletcher of the Extension Ser vice He pointed out that the ani mals damage the young trees by feeding on them or by walking over, or rubbing against, them. The trees can be protected by either wire or board fences built around the trunks. A Georgian first organized a memorial association and planned a Confederate Memo lal Day.

The athlete with a fresh cold mould remain at home and out at practice or games. 2. He sholud be excluded from dressing rooms, activity and play area. 3. He should eat a well-balanc ed diet to help maintain a better tate of heaith even though the quantity he eats may be less due to lack of appetite. 4. He should avoid chilling, wet feet and fatigue — By Lucile Hig ginbotham. head. Heaith Educa tion Department, University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Service. Any way you slice it, automatic slicing knives have become im portant to the American home naker and to the manufacturers whe produce diem. Market re ports indicate that the knife was me of the leading appliances in Christmas 'gift sales. What is such a knife like and what does it do? The first one mi the market is typical of those which have followed. It is com posed of the handle, which con tains the motor, and two blades. The blades hook together near the tips and then slip easily into the handle When the switch is on the two blades work back and forth very rapidly to produce the cutting action. AH you do is guide the knife. It does the rest. The handle is comfortable to hold and the knife is well balanc- ed The switch is easy to reach and is of the trigger type. The tafe operates only when the switch is depressed by your fin ger. Cleaning is very simple When you have finished using the knife, just press the two blades together near the place where they enter the handles and pul! them oat They can then be washed by hand or in the dishwasher Then handle and cord should be wiped with a damp cloth when necessary. Since the first knife was intro duced there have been others, in cluding those which are cordless. There are some differences but basically they all operate in a- R. L Walker Che vrolet Co. The Brantley Enterprise, Nahunta, Ga., Thursday, Feb 25, 1%5 beat the same way as the one described here. What does the knife actually do for you? It carves and slices meats, vegetables, fruits, breads, cakes and just about anything else which requires slicing. It does not cut through bones, how ever. You can slice thick slices or th;- ones. You can carve easi ly and economically. Since it re quires practically no effort to op erate. it is particularly helpful if you have arm or hand aches and pains. What does it cost’ It varies but it isn’t a Sot to pay for a knife which does so many jobs and which requires no sharpening. Good cutlery is not cheap. — By Doris Oglesby, head.

Eggs Plentiful, Are Good Buys Now’s the time to eat and en joy more eggs' They’re plentiful, attractively priced for consumers. and highly nutritious That’s the word from the U. S Department of Agriculture, which has enlisted the heip of the food industry across the nation in an effort to move the current bounti ful supplies of eggs onto the tables of consumers Egg production in the United States during December was up to 5.4 billion. 2 percent more than a year ago. Prospects point to continued high egg production in January and February. Total egg production for 1964 also topped that of the previous year — 64 6 billion as against 632 billion to 1963. Largely as a result of heavy supplies, prices paid producers for their eggs have declined in recent weeks, and, according to the U S. Department of Agriculture, many poultrymen face economic hardship. Press tins Nw tiql fiMrief — it pm' ITS CUSHIONED! A f ordnlwAiirn I 10 5873 Waycro**. Ga. Phone HO 2-21«5 Nahunta, Ga.
