The theme this year is “Challenges of Growth.” It is based on the Christian idea that life is a series of challenges, that abundant living comes to men only as they face up to the realities of each day and, with divine wit and wisdom, emerge victories. And there is no greater challenge than that of inducing the earth to produce enough for everyone by practicing the fine art of responsible stewardship. The earth ! How wonderful are its hills and valleys, its rivers and oceans, its mountains and plains, its green things growing! Only an omnipotent God by infinite wisdom could have made the earth and given it to man for his comfortable home. But even old earth can grow weary and worn. The countless millions of hungry and restless people can demolish its beauty, destroy its fertility, make barren each hill and plain and valley. But this we cannot allow. More than six billions of living people depend upon our stewardship. And untold billions not yet born will thrive or perish by our actions. So let us think about it this week. Let us come to know that the earth is the Lord s, that we are the keepers of His garden, that we hold history in our hands. Let us resolve to meet this challenge with deter mination. We will keep our earth green and productive. We will tie the rich soil to the hillsides. We will keep sparkling and fresh the numberless streams flowing through the countryside. We will pass on to our children and our children s children our faith in God, of love of freedom and a good round earth with its rich soil intact. Our gifts to them will be bread and beauty, green ery and growth, faith and fertility, liberty and life. For we will not fail. Endowed with power and wisdom from on high, we will be good keepers of His vineyard, the earth.

Rabid Raccoon Killed in Pierce A rabid raccoon that attack ed a fishing party and was killed has been found to have a positive case of rabies.

The ’coon came out of the bushes and attacked Elias Waldron. Some men fishing nearby from a boat, saw them fighting the raccoon and came ashore and kill ed it with a boat paddle. The man attacked was not hurt or even scratched by the animal. Mallory Hatchett, chief of the Waycross district Game and Fish Commission, cut off the animal’s head and brought it to the Regional Health office.

Growth' Is Week Theme OFFICIAL ORGAN BRANTLEY COUNTY AND CITY OF NAHUNTA Communities May Get FHA Loans to Construct Central Water Systems Some 5000 farmers and rural residents in Georgia have found that they do not have to rely on troublesome wells and unsafe wa ter supplies. “The Farmers Home Administration is helping these people obtain modern, central wa ter systems that provide safe, treated water at reasonable cost,” Mr. S. L. VanLandingham, State Director said. During the past two years loans have been made to the towns o f Summer, Bostwick, Mitchell, Cul loden. Siloam, Danville, Allen town, Tarrytown, Stillmore, Sum mertown, Cecil, Surrency, Pulaski and Mineral Bluff. Loans have al so been made to Dade County and a nonprofit group in a rural com munity in Walker County. When completed, these systems will serve a total of 1752 customers, including several hundred farm ers and a number of small in dustries. Loans for eight more small towns are now being pro cessed. Mr. VanLandingham points out that these water systems afford safe, treated water and the con venience of central distribution. “One of the most important ben efits,” says Mr. VanLandingham, “is that a water system is the first step in making small towns and rural communities attractive places to live. It encourages popu lation growth, the building of new homes, and is necessary if these communities are to get small in dustries. For example, an impor tant industry will be located in Walker County as a direct result of the construction of a water system in that county with a FHA loan. Loans may be made to small towns and unincorporated, thick ly settled rural areas where ade quate credit is not available. The loans are made by banks, insur ance companies and oth^r pri vate lenders and are insured by the Farmers Home Administra tion. They are repayable over long terms at low rates of interest. The FHA supplies supervision and assistance to town officials and local leaders in making applica tions, obtaining engineering ser vice, cost estimates, designing, financing and building the sys tem. Mr. VanLandingham says “These are ideal examples of the value of cooperation. Local lead ers provide initiative, private lenders furnish the money and the Government guarantees the loans and provides technical guid- I TALMADGE forts From HINCTON J EXTREME AND unwarranted pressure is being brought against the public school systems of Georgia by ill-advised federal authorities set up to enforce the provisions of Title VI of the so called Civil Rights Act of 1964. Purporting to act under au thority granted by the Act, the Department of Health, Educa- I tion and Wel fare is threat ening to liter ally starve Georgia schools out of the fed eral treasury. They are faced with the loss of some SSO-|75 million a year in federal aid, as well as the disruption of educa -1 tion at the expense of tens of thousands of innocent school children. When the bill was before the Senate last year, I warned in the strongest possible terms that Title VI was probably the most far-reaching and vicious section of the bill and that it placed state and local officials at the mercy of federal bureaucrats. Title VI has now begun to show its teeth. THE CITIZENS of Georgia are law-abiding, and although they may not always agree wholeheartedly with a law, in the finest of American tradition they are cognizant of the fact .that we are a nation of laws ' and not of men. Georgians are well aware of the Brown decision of 1954, and like it or not, they know it is an accomplished fact. They also knew that when Title VI went (Kot prepared or printtd at fovernmont txptiue) Subscription Price and Tax Inside county $2.58 Outside county, in state $3.09 Outside state $3.00 ance.” Seth M. Kellam, County FHA Supervisor who services Brantley, Charlton, Pierce and Ware coun ties said applicants desiring in formation on loan assistance for providing central water systems should contact his office. Treat Hogs Now To Avoid Cholera ATLANTA — Commissioner of Agriculture Phil Campbell warn ed farmers they must begin treat ing all hogs immediately to a void a hog cholera epidemic which will mean costly losses to them. Returned use of Modified Live Virus is being premitted by the State Department of Agriculture in order to bring recent heavy out breaks under control. Campbell said that during the first 14 days of May, 42 cases of cholera have been reported and confirmed. Twenty-one of these cases are in Bulloch county and seven in Coffee county. Other counties reporting cases this month are Irwin, Appling, Tatt nall, Bacon, Atkinson, Emanuel, Laurens, and Ben Hill. Campbell said he feels the pri mary reason for these outbreaks are- (1) Farmers have been lax in vaccinating their hogs against cholera because of overconfi dence in the state cholera pro gram. This overconfidence is due to the low incidence of cholera during the past two or three years as a result of the State Hog Cho lera Indemnity Program. (2) Spring and Summer are Cholera seasons. The warm months of May, June, July and August always bring a higher in cidence of cholera. (3) Farmers have been very busy planting and cultivating their crops. As a result of this — (4) Farmers have failed to re port sick hogs as they have not been able to watch them suffi ciently. Campbell emphasized that it is not too late to avoid an epidemic of hog cholera if farmers will take heed and begin immediately to vaccinate their hogs and to re port any possibility of cholera to the State Department of Agricul ture or local county agent and veterinarians immediately. on the law books, it also became an accomplished fact. Last December, the Depart ment of Health, Education and Welfare directed that in order for Georgia schools to continue to be eligible for federal assist ance they must sign forms as suring their compliance with the provisions of Title VI. Georgia schools demonstrated their willingness to comply with the law by signing on the dotted line. » ♦ * SINCE THAT TIME, confu sion has been piled upon confu sion. Various officials of the De partment of Health, Education and Welfare have decreed that compliance with Title VI means one thing, and others have de clared that it means something else. So conflicting and contra dictory have been the edicts from Washington that Georgia schools don’t know exactly where they stand. They gave their word that they would comply with the law, but apparently this isn’t enough for the federal government. It is sad indeed that our schools should be thrown into such tur moil. Such heavy-handed tactics are well beyond the scope and authority of the law. Most un fortunate is the fact that it is the school children who will suf fer. The school systems of Georgia have shown good faith by pledg ing to obey the law. The Department of Health, Education and Welfare should do the same.
