Home gardeners who have dif

their fall gardens need not worry
if they still have spring tomato
vines that are disease free. Simply
remove a healthy sucker and
transplant it as you would a young

Senator Dean Proposes Half-billion
Debt to Four-lane Three Highways
State Senator Roscoe Dean of
Jesup said he will propose a drive
to four-lane the three principal
north-south highways of coastal
Georgia at a meeting of coastal
legislators on Jekyll Island Octo
ber 8-9.
Dean listed the highways as U.
S. 17, U. S. 301 and U. S. 1. “If
we don’t four-lane these roads,
they could be ghost trails in 10
years,” he warned.
Dean called for a “united
stand” by state legislators from
southeastern Georgia in behalf
of the three roads.
He estimated that it would cost
up to SSOO million to four-lane
the three highways in their en
tirety through Georgia, but add
ed “we can do it with a bond
issue if the people approve the
program in a referendum.”
Dean said motel, restaurant
and service station interests a
long the highways together with
other business establishments
“stand to lose millions of dollars
in investments if we don’t four
lane.”
Dean said Georgia needs a
“bold new road program” in a
departure from present policies.
“We are proud of all that our
State Highway Dept, has done
in previous years, but the time
has come in Georgia, for the
sake of expanding industry and
tourism, to move into a new era
of road-building.”
He said highway construction
should occupy the highest priori
ty on the discussion list at the
Jekyll Island meeting, when some
20 legislators will talk over prob
lems of mutual interest.
He listed other subjects need
ing discussion as promotion of the
shellfishing industry, state parks,
and proposed purchase of Cum
berland Island by the state.
Dean said he has noticed that

Schedule Given
For County HD
Club Meetings
The regular monthly sche
dule of Home Demonstration
Club .meetings for Brantley
County for the month of Octo
ber was announced this week
by Mrs. Virginia N. Raulerson,
the Home Economist for
Brantley County.
The programs for the club
meetings during October will
feature demonstrations and
information on “Budgeting”
the agent said. The programs
will be presented by Mrs.
Raulerson.
The schedule for the various
clubs in the county will be as
follows:
Waynesville Club at Way
nesville Baptist Church at
2:00 P. M. on Monday, Oct. 18.
Nahunta Club at Mrs. Wild
er Brookers Tuesday, Oct. 19,
at 9:30 A. M.
Suburban Club Tuesday,
Oct. 19 at 3:15 P. M. The
place will be announced later.
Hickox Club at Mrs. Wood
row Hendrix Wednesday, Oct.

Mrs. Raulerson urged all
members of the local clubs to
attend the meeting of their
club. She pointed out that the
Home Dem. Club provides an
opportunity for members to
learn improved practices
which will enable them to be
come better homemakers and
better informed citizens.
Classes on Home
Furnishing and Art
A series of classes on Home
Furnishings and Art will be
taught by Mrs. Virginia N.
Raulerson the County Exten
sion Home Economist begin
ning Oct. 26.
“The basic principles will be

Office.
To register for the classes

from Macon southward into
Florida is already attracting
tourists away from southeastern
Georgia.
“Tourists look at their maps —
see this 1-75 and its connection
with the Florida Sunshine Park
way and go out of their way to
ride it because it is more ron
venient than negotiating our two
lane roads in southeastern Geor
gia,” Dean said. “If we had the
four-laned roads, we’d build our
tourist industry.”
Dean said states like Alabama,
Tennessee, North Carolina and
Florida are four-laning more and
more primary roads. “At the
same time, we’ve hardly scratch
ed the surface in four-laning pri
mary roads,” he declared.
The Jesup senator said the
State Highway Dept, “threw cold
water” on the plan of Savannah
Mayor Malcolm Maclean to four
lane key roads in the state. “But
I think we should keep trying
and pretty soon they’ll stop
throwing the cold water,” he said.
Dean said residents of Camden
County, which is in his senatorial
district, scored a highway vic
tory recently when a commit
ment was obtained from the state
to build a new bridge across the
St. Mary’s River on U. S. 17. “We
took a delegation to Atlanta and
got the commitment,” he said.
Dean said he would ask the
coastal legislators to support his
efforts to get the state to buy
Cumberland Island off the Cam
den coast and develop the island
into a recreational area.
“We’ve built up Jekyll Island
about all we can and it’s now
time to turn to other coastal
areas,” Dean said. “Right now
we have the most undeveloped
coastal area — recreation-wise —
in the nation.”

Questions and Answers
on the Bible
BY MRS. GLADYS C. JOHNSON
If God is not going to punish
the sins of Christians, why should
I bother trying to conquer sin in
my life?
Let us define the term Chris
tian. A Christian is a learner, a
disciple, a follower of Christ. To
become a Christian we accept the
Lord Jesus as our redemption
from sin. We believe that He
died on the cross to pay the debt
of our sin and that His sacrifice
was acceptable to God for full
payment. If we doubt that our
sins have been forgiven, we are
making God a liar and Christ’s
death was of no account.
Now IF we have taken Christ
into our hearts (not just ac
knowledged His existence with
our head) then, there will come
a change in our lives. Those
things which we have been do
ing will no longer appeal to us.
Jealousy, cheating, lying, gos
siping — all these will be SIN
in the light of Christ’s teachings.
We will abhor them.
Nevertheless, since the old na
ture is still at war within us and
the devil is still trying to keep
the Christian from witnessing
with his life, we will find that
there will be times when we fall
back into the old habits.
BUT the doing of these things
will bring a sense of guilt. We
will be deeply ashamed of hav
ing done them and IF we have
been truly born again, we will
ask the Lord to forgive us for
them.
Remember that the Christian
life is a life of growth. We must
war constantly against our evil
nature and each victory which
we win will bring us a little fur
ther along in the mature Christ
ian life.
It is true that we will not have
to stand before the Judgment
Seat of God and be judged for
our sins. Christ took care of that
when He died on the cross and
He is even now seated on the
right hand of God interceding for
you and me before God when we
fail to do what we should as
Christians.
Nahunta Garden
Club Met Tuesday
Mrs. Jesse Lee and Miss
Mary Knox were hostesses to
the Nahunta Garden Club at
the home of Mrs. Lee on Oct.
5, with Mrs. Dorothy Brooker,
the president, presiding.
Mr. Jimmy J. Douberly was
the guest speaker giving help
ful information on planting
and fertilizing bulbs. He also
talked on time to plant deci
duous flowering trees.
Miss Mary Knox the treasur
er, gave report of last .meet
ing. Mrs. J. B. Lewis read
the schedule of the flower
show which is to be held on
Dec. 11.
Others present were Mrs.
Sherman Tomlinson, Mrs. J.
C. Allen, Mrs. Jos. B. Strick
land, Mrs. A. S. Mizell and
her guests, Mrs. Marvin Swill
ing and Mrs. J. C. Wallace,
Mrs. R. H. Schmitt, Mrs. Em
mie Newton, Mrs. Lula Brown,
and Mrs. Harry Raulerson.
The hostesses served ice
cream, cake and coffee.
The Christian is recognized by
the fruit that he brings forth in
his life. He may not be perfect
and he will make mistakes, but
from day to day he will be striv
ing to overcome and his life will
show that he is truly a Christian
by the things which he does or
does not do.
Anyone who says that they will
or can do anything they please
because they are a Christian and
will not be judged for their sins
had better reexamine their claim
on Christ. They have never real
ly been saved. If a PROFESSING
Christian constantly and continu
ally lies or cheats his fellow man
or does any other thing in the
long list of sins, he will find that
he will be standing in judgment
before a righteous and angry
God.
For John tells us in Revelation
21:8, “As for the cowardly, the
faithless, and the vile, murder
ers, fornicators, sorcerers, ido
laters, and liars of every kind,
their lot will be the second death,
in the lake that burns with sul
phurous flames.”
God is a just God and He can
look into the innermost recesses
of our hearts and can tell wheth
er we are Christians or not. If
there is any doubt in our minds
that we should not do everything
within our power and with the
help of God to overcome evil in
our lives, then we are lost sin
ners even though our names may
be on the roll of some local
church.
We cannot look at another who
claims to be Christian and use
him as a standard. God is our
standard and the teaching of
Christ is the only rule by which
we can judge ourselves. Our con
cern is to see that our lives are
as free from sin as we can make
them — not because we fear that
we shall be punished for them
but because our love for Christ
is so great and our gratitude to
Him is so real that we want to
present ourselves to Him — with
clean hands and a pure heart —
holy as He is holy.

IN INCREASING numbers,
the American people are becom
ing more and more concerned
about what they see taking place
in the country at the present
time.
Expressions of this concern
come to me every day, often in
the most force
ful of terms,
byway of con-
versations with
Georgians and
other citizens
and in my mail.
One such letter
that I received
recently, which
is typical of hundreds which
come in every week, summed up
the feelings shared by millions
of Americans.
The writer of this letter won
dered what is happening to the
Constitution and the federal sys
tem, what is happening to the
individual and the old-fashioned
ideal that people are supposed
to work for what they get, and
what is happening to our socie
ty when lawlessness virtually
sweeps the land and self-ap
pointed judges of what is right
and wrong take the law into
their own hands with impunity.
America is not the same coun
try that it was a generation ago,
and the people recognize this
and they are worried, about the
present course the country is
taking and where we will be a
generation hence. In my opinion,
this worry is well-founded.

DRY WEATHER
AND DOGWOODS
Hot, dry weather takes its toll
of dogwood trees unless they are
properly cared for. Dogwoods
are especially susceptible to
drought injury during their first
summer, according to Extension
Service Horticulturist Gerald E.
Smith. He says they should be
properly watered and mulched
to prevent injury.
ing indications that these prin
ciples, upon which our . nation
rose to greatness, are being un
dermined, and in the process the
American way of life and our
form of government are under
going radical changes. >
Take the crime rate, for ex
ample, which increases about 14
per cent a year, and racial agi
tation and mob violence which
makes a mockery of the Ameri
can ideal that ours is a nation of
laws and not of men. This is
but one facet of what the people
are allowing to take place in
their country.
Consider the increasing cen
tralization of power in Wash
ington over the lives, fortunes,
and property of individuals and
the continuous usurpation of the
rights and prerogatives of sov
ereign states which has all but
destroyed local self-government
and weakened private initiative
and enterprise. It used to be
that most citizens didn’t want
the government to do anything
for them that they could do for
themselves. Nowadays, too many
feel that don’t have to do any
thing for themselves that the
government can do.
Look at the astronomical debt
which increases billions of dol
lars each year as the federal
government persists in vast
giveaway programs, both at
home and abroad. The Supreme
Court, by twisting the Constitu
tion this way and that, and the
Congress, by relinquishing more
and more of its legislative au
thority to the executive and ju
dicial branches, also are factors
in changes being wrought in
this nation.
* • •
THESE ARE BUT a few of
the things that millions of
Americans are becoming con
cerned about. When enough peo
ple alert themselves to the dan
ger, they will speak out and
hopefully the present trend will
be reversed.
