Language of Psychiatry I never get mad, I get hostile, I never feel sad, I’m depressed. If I sew or knit, and enjoy it a bit I’m not handy, I’m merely obsessed. I never regret, I feel guilty And, if I vacuum the hall, Wash the woodwork and such and not mind it too much Am I tidy? Compulsive is all. If I can’t choose a hat, I have conflicts With ambivalent feelings toward net. I never get worried or nervous or hurried, Anxiety — that’s what I get. If I’m happy, I must be euphoric; If I go to the Stork or the Ritz And have a good time, making puns or a rhyme, I’m manic or maybe a schiz. If I tell you you’re right, I’m submissive, Repressing aggressiveness too, And when I disagree, I’m defensive, you see And projecting my symptoms on you. I love you but that’s just transference, With Oedipus rearing his head. My breathing asthmatic is psychosomatic, A fear of exclaiming, “Drop Dead!” I’m not lonely, I’m simply dependent. My dog has no fleas, just a tic — So if I seem a cad, never mind — just be glad That I’m not a stinker — I’m sick.

SCIENCE AND RELIGION From Church Management: “The scientific mind and a reli gious outlook are distinctly com patible but, beyond that, scientists tend to have deeper religious per suasions than those in other walks of life. These conclusions were developed in a survey of more than 300 outstanding high school science students who attended the recent National Youth Conference on the Atom in Chicago. Os the hundreds queried, fully 85 per cent of the young men and women stated they were devoutly religi ous, attended church regularly, and were active in their church organizations.” The Brantley Enterprise, Nahunta, Ga., Thursday, August 19, 1965 Accident Takes Life of Brantley County Youth The residents of the Raybon community were saddened to learn of the death early Thurs day night, August 12, of Junior Dale Morgan, 17, who earlier received injuries in a motor bike accident near the home of Mrs. Evan Wilson.

OFFICIAL ORGAN BRANTLEY COUNTY AND CITY OF NAHUNTA Brantley County Schools To Open Friday, Sept. 3 Brantley County To Begin Bonus Seed Program Brantley County is one of 29 Georgia counties in which the Bonus Seed Program, designed to increase agricultural income through the use of high qual ity seed of recommended varie ties, will be conducted during the coming year, County A gent George A. Loyd announ ced. Purpose of the program is to show how the right seed can increase crop production efficiency, and thereby profits, in the production of different crops. Work on the program start ed last fall with collection of seed samples from farmers in the county. These samples, se lected to be as nearly repre sentative as possible of the seed actually being planted in the county, were used to set up demonstrations showing the relative value of good and poor quality seed, the county agent explained. The seed program follows the Profit Cotton Program and the forerunner Soil Fertility, Master Com and Big M Pas ture Programs in this county. All were conducted to dem onstrate the value of recom mended practices in producing important crops. “This program is especially important because seed is basic to all crops. If you don’t plant seed with the potential to pro duce efficient, a great part of the money, effort and time spent on other practices is bound to be wasted,” the county agent declared. Like the other programs, all information and recommen dations are made applicable to each county’s conditions. The program is being con ducted statewide by the Ex tension Agronomy Department, University of Georgia College of Agriculture, headed by J. Ralph Johnson. Extension a gronomists are working as a team on the program, to help county agents in planning and carrying it out in each county. Harvey Lowery, Extension ag ronomist-seed improvement, is primarily responsible for pro viding assistance to county a gents in this effort. New Hope Cemetery Cleaning Aug. 26 The New Hope Church Cem etery will be cleaned off Thursday, Aug. 26, it is an nounced. Everyone who is in terested in the New Hope Cemetery is requested to be on hand with tools next Thurs day. We Get Nothing Free Numbers of people, apparently, believe the government gets its money out of thin air or from some mysterious source that has little to do with themselves. This, basically, was the thought of Con gressman Lipscomb of California when he said. “It should come as no surprise to anyone that the money the federal government spends must ultimately come from the people, though all too often it seems that this fact is over looked or ignored.” One reason for this is that except for in come and property levies, most of the taxes we pay are hidden. Everything we buy, from an article so small as a loaf of bread to one so large as an automobile, carries a multitude of taxes levied at the raw material, manufactur ing, processing, transporting, retailing and other levels. And those taxes, like all the other costs that enter into the production of goods and services, must be paid by the consumer. These are truisms that should be known to every schoolchild. But they tend to become lost in the face of the widespread belief that government "gives” us things. The truth is that government can “give” nothing. It can only take the money from the people, now or on some future date, to pay the costs — and, also, it tacks on handsome sums to cover the administrative and bureaucratic overhead. Nothing material in this world is free — somebody has to pay the price.
