LEGAL NOTICE Georgia's Rural Elec- trics provide over 1100 jobs, an annual payroll of almost 5 million dollars. • Each $1 invested in their electric system gener ates $4 in Members' spend ing for the things that use electricity ... a billion dollar national market! Satilla Rural Electric Membership Corporation ALMA, GEORGIA Freedom Prospers (The following editorial, written by a Calhoun High School senior, Randall Seabolt, won the third annual Jack Mc- Donough scholarship award, sponsored by the Georgia Power Company. The award is presented annually by the company for the best editorial on free enterprise in America written by a high school junior or senior in his school newspaper.) Every morning at 5 a. m. Victor Glunowsky rises and prepares himself for work. He eats breakfast, dresses while his wife packs a meager lunch and then walks quietly out the door. When he reaches the road, he turns left and walks slowly to work at a big industrial plant. Upon reach ing the factory, he calmly joins the other 10,000 workers who file through the lines clocking in. Victor then goes to his proper place and begins his assigned job. All day long, Victor performs the same menial task at a slow pace, never trying to put forth any extra effort to produce any more than his fellow workers. Why? Is it because Victor has no ambition? No, it is simply the fact that no matter how hard he works or how much effort he puts forth, Victor will never get any extra money. All businesses are government-controlled. He gets just as much for producing as little as possible as he would if he produced twice as much. So Victor Glunowsky continues his menial task until it is time for him to return to his home. Thus is a day in the life of Victor Glunowsky, typical Russian citizen, working under socialism. And there are millions more like him. Let us now see what is happening on the other side of the world. John Smith and millions of other A mericans rise each morning, get into their cars, and off they go to work. Many of them are like Victor, never caring how much work they get done as long as they get by. But these are only the exceptions. The major portions of employed Americans are eager and ambitious. They know that the only way to get ahead in the world is to do a little more than is expected of them and that is what they do. And for their extra efforts they are rewarded with extra pay. This is work under the American free enterprise system. Let us look more closely at this free enterprise system. Under this system the means of production, i. e.» the factories and businesses, are privately owned and operated. Every man has the right to set up his own business and to operate it in any manner he sees fit as long as he complies with certain governmental regulations existing to pro tect American people. One of the basic ideas of free enterprise is that each person is free to make his own decisions con cerning economic life. Related to this is the Ameri can privilege of selecting your own occupation. Finally, we see that under the American free en terprise system each man’s income is equivalent to his ability to produce, i. e., the harder the work, the greater his salary. These basic factors of free enterprise serve not only to cultivate high economic development m America today but also to inspire ambitious men to exert their best efforts. They have served to put us miles ahead of socialistic countries in produc tion of goods and to create a sense of well-being and contentment among the American people. This sense being based upon the fact that the free en terprise system provides Americans with many, many wonderful opportunities which are not pos sible under other economic systems. After considering these observations, it can truth fully be said that free enterprise is the backbone of initiative, which is the backbone of progress, which is the backbone of our economy, which is the back bone of our nation, which is the backbone of our world.

BY: Avery Strickland, President 6-24 BROILER-FRYERS ON PLENTIFUL LIST FOR JUNE Broiler-fryers, gaining in popu larity with family meal planners, are on the June plentiful foods list prepared by the Consumer and Marketing Service of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Marketings are expected hea vier than during June last year when prices to producers were near record low. Placements in 23 states during April, which are providing broil ers for June slaughter, were up nearly 7 percent from April last year. May placements were about 9 percent above a year earlier. The Consumer and Marketing Service, in cooperation with pro ducer organizations and food trade groups, each month lists those foods which are in plentiful supply as a guide for the food trade and food service industries and for food shoppers. The broiler-fryer chicken was a more common item in U. S. family meals in 1964 than it was in 1956, according to a recent USDA report. The report gives major findings of a 1964 study of homemakers’ opinions about broiler-fryers and their preferences for them. A si milar study was made in 1956. Both studies were made by USDA to provide data to help poultry industries maintain or improve current market positions. Os homemakers surveyed in 1964, nearly two-thirds served broilers at least once a week. In 1956, only half the homemakers interviewed served them this fre quently. Homemakers in the Nor theast and West showed the great est increase in numbers serving broilers once or more a week. OPTOMETRIST Dr. Charles H. Little 607 Isabella St. Telephone Waycross, Ga.

JOHNSON WILL THERE BE 'GOOD PEOPLE' IN HELL? Have you ever had someone to whom you have presented the plan of salvation reply, "I live just as good a life, not better, than many of the Christians I know. Why, I wouldn’t dream of doing some of the things that they do. My life is above reproach morally — I treat my family well and give to the needy and I cer taiiriy stand as good a chance as the next one going to heaven”? Yes, I’m sure you have but what was your answer? First of all, to our shame as Christians, we must admit that much of what they say is true. Many PROFESSING Christians are not POSSESSING Christians and their lives do not bear a very good witness for their Lord. For that, they will have to give an account to God, for He tells us in Romans 3:23 that “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God; there is none righteous, no not one.” We are all sinners, but there is one great difference. Those who have ac cepted Christ as their Saviour are SAVED SINNERS, while those who do not believe in Him are LOST SINNERS. The “good people” — those who expect to get to heaven by living a good life but without accepting Christ as their Saviour — are us ing the wrong standard of mea surement. Church members and other Christians cannot be that standard — they are too full of human frailities. Church member ship has nothing to do with an in dividual’s standing in the sight of God. Our life is to be measured against God’s standards and His alone. In Luke 16:15 Christ tells us that those things which men be lieve to be of great worth are “abomination in the sight of God.” As long as we think that our good deeds and moral life have anything to do with our being saved, we are absolutely lost. According to Isaiah 64:6 “we are all as an unclean thing, and our righteousness (goodness, good works, etc.) are as filthy rags ” What prompts morally upright people to do good? Surely not to serve Christ, for they have refus ed to accept Him. So if it is not Strickland Plumbing Moving To All Our Friends and Customers: Due to my ill health, we are moving our shop to my home.

INMAN, JR., Operator to serve Him, then it must be to buy peace of mind for themselves which we must call selfishness. God measures a deed by the motive or cause for which it is done. Man says the end effect is good, therefore the deed is good and should be counted on the credit side of the ledger for him. God looks upon the heart and if the deed, however worthy, was not done for Christ’s sake than there is no good in it. How would we feel if suddenly everything we had ever thought or done from the time we first knew right from wrong was writ ten on a placard for our friends and neighbors to see? Suppose our record was made public just as it will be when the books are open ed and we stand before the judge ment throne of God? There would be such shame and a terror so great that we would want to hide from everyone who knew us. Using God’s standard of mea surement, this “good life” is full of selfishness and ugliness. Can such a life get anyone to hea ven? And if man in his own goodness COULD get there, would he be happy in the presence of a just and holy God? A ragged, filthy, little girl was brought from the street into a home where there was a beautiful lily. She was left alone and wat ched to see what she would do. At first she stood still looking in wonder at the pure and beautiful flower. But soon she became con scious of the contrast between her dirty hands and the spotless, white flower and she put her hands behind her back. Then noticing the difference be tween her dress whch was SUP POSED to be white and the lily which WAS white, she began to back up and kept on until she was completely out of sight of the flower. The child showed by her actions more clearly than words could tell what would happen to the morally good but unsaved individual if they ever did get into heaven. They would call the rocks and the hills to fall upon them to hide them from the face of the spot less Son of God. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God; not of works, least any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:83.
