VOLUME 43 - NUMBER 42 Federal Aid Available For City Sewer System More than a million people in rural America may benefit from an expansion in financial support for rural community facilities and family farms authorized by recent legislation, Seth M. Kel lam, County Supervisor, said ac cording to S. L. VanLandingham, Farmers Home Administration state director for Georgia. Private investors will provide the bulk of the funds on an insur ed basis through USDA’s Farm ers Home Administration. The legislation signed into law by President Johnson on October 7: Authorizes an increase from S2OO to $450 million in the Farm ers Home Administration’s abili ty to insure loans in any one year for rural community facili ties including water supply and waste disposal systems, and for the development and purchase of family farms. Provides, for the first time, this type of credit for rural waste dis posal systems. Authorizes, for the first time, grants to supplement this type of credit for rural water and waste disposal systems. Grant au thority may not exceed 50 per cent of the construction of a project nor a total of SSO million a year. Authorizes, for the first time, grants totaling $5 million a year for comprehensive planning of water and sewage systems. Increases from 2,500 to 5,500 the size of towns eligible for such assistance. Increases from $1 to $4 million the maximum size of a loan, or a combination loan and grant for water supply or waste disposal systems. The 1,600 field offices of the Farmers Home Administration are being notified to accept ap plications under the expanded credit authorities. Grant assis tance will not be available until funds are appropriated by Con gress. Applications for rural com munity facilities loans may be made by public bodies and non profit private organizations. The $450 million in insured loans plus the $55 million in grants authorized yearly by the Act can help an estimated 800 rural areas containing approxi mately one million people obtain needed water and waste disposal systems and other facilities, and provide 18,000 farm families with credit needed to secure their foothold on the land.

I understand there has been an increase in Social Security payments. Do I need to apply for the increase? A. No. The 1965 amendments to the Social Security law pro vides for a seven percent in crease in cash benefits. The in crease is retroactive to January, 1965. You will automatically re ceive this increase by special check in late September for the amount due you from January through August, 1965. Q. At present my Social Secur ity benefits have stopped be cause I am working. The raise in Social Security voted on in 1965 entitles me to some back money. What do I need to do to collect this money? A. There is no need for you to do anything right now. An ad justment will be made when you make your annual report of 19- 65 earnings. Q. I am a widow with a son who is still in school and our Social Security income was de creased when he reached 18. Do the new laws provide income for dependent children who are still in school even though they are past 18? A. Yes, provided your son is a full-time student and not mar ried. Contact your Social Secur ity office to have his benefits re instated. Back payments can be made from January, 1965 to the present time. The payments can continue until he is 22 as long as he remains an unmarried, full time student. Q. I am a widow 60 years old. My husband worked under Social Security. When he died in 1959 I was told I would be eligible for Social Security when I reach ed 62. Is there any way I can collect before I reach 62? A. Yes. The 1965 amendments to the Social Security law make it possible for you to collect now at a reduced amount. The amount you would receive at age 62 if paid now will be reduced by five ninths of one percent for each month you are under 62 years of age.

Questions and Answers on the Bible BY MRS. GLADYS C. JOHNSON If we are saved because Christ died for our sins, what does Paul mean in Romans 5:10 when he says, "We shall be saved by His LIFE?" It is certainly true that “Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,” I Corinthians 15:3, but if He had remained in the grave then our faith would have been in vain and we would still be in our sins. I Corinthians 15:19. We are saved by His death, but we are KEPT by His resurrection power. The same miraculous power which raised Jesus from the dead is able to keep us in that newness of life which we have received because of our belief in Him. We are not only saved FROM sin, but we are saved daily from the POWER of sin.

Gen. B. A. Sch riever, commander of the Sys tems Command said in a letter to Airman Griffin, “Your ini tiative, resourcefulness, per serverance and devotion to duty have contributed significantly to the successful completion of the Air Proving Ground Cen ter’s test programs on sche dule.” Col. Herbert V. Leon hardt, Chief of the Munitions Test Directorate, presented the award. Along with the certi ficate, Airman Griffin also re ceived a set of NCO stripes which he is wearing today. Early Planting Os Small Grains Can Be Wasteful Planting small grains for winter forage in the Georgia Coastal Plain before October 1 can be disappointing and wasteful, ac cording to results of research conducted at the University of Georgia’s Coastal Plain Experi ment Station at Tifton. Small grains such as oats, wheat, and rye planted before October 1 likely will have thin stands because seed germination is poorer and seedling diseases are more severe at the higher temperatures which usually pre vail in September, these research scientists report. In fact, picking the right plant ing date can be a real problem because the germination of seed planted after October 1 may well be delayed by fall drought. Even if there is enough moisture in the soil to insure good germination, seedling growth may be delayed by dry weather. A research analysis of weather records kept at Tifton over 41 years (1923-63) shows that fall drought is one of two environ mental factors which limit forage production during winter in the Coastal Plain of Georgia. Low winter temperatures is the other limiting factor. These weather data show that in any year with 2 inches or less of rain in October and November, grazing of rye likely will be de layed until the following Feb ruary. Grazing of oats under these conditions may have to be put off until March. Such dry weather conditions during fall are not rare, either, the research scientists point out. During the 41 years of record, less than 2 inches of rain has fallen in October and November in almost one-third of the years — 13 out of 41. tinually going to and fro through out the earth seeing who among the Christians he might deceive. Because Jesus rose again from the dead and is now seated on the right hand of God we have an advocate with God Himself when temptation is placed in our way. “Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.” Hebrews 7:25. The founders of all other reli gions have lived and died. Christ is the only one who not only lived and died, but rose again and is now gloriously ALIVE forever more. Let us draw continuously on that wonderful power which can keep us from falling into sin which will bring reproach upon the name of our Lord.

Robert Page Spoke at National FFA Convention at Kansas City Robert Page of Hoboken made a speech at the National Conven tion of Future Farmers at Kan sas City, Missouri, Thursday, Oct. 14. Robert has served as vice president of the National FFA for the past year. His subject and speech was as follows: "CREATE TO SERVE" By Bob Page, National Vice-President, Southern Region Mr. chairman, special guests, fellow farmers and Future Farm ers: Each and everyone of us comes into this world without our will or knowledge. Since the founding of our country, we have burdens handed down from generation to generation — povery, disease, and the continual threat of world ca tastrophe. Such is the world we came to at birth. It is our in heritance as truly as is the for tune handed down from father to son. We cannot escape this in heritance but must make the best of it. This heritage from the past is of many kinds. That which impresses us most is perhaps the material conquest of nature which our ancestors have accomplished and which they have handed on to us, not to speak of the great recent de velopments. Our political princi ples have been worked out through the years. There are very few of the present physical com forts we can call our own work, for the most has come to us from the past. All these things and more we breathe as children, and as chil dren generally do we think and feel as our parents do and us ually as our community does. Therefore, such general patterns of thought and feeling come to us unconsciously and we travel merrily on our way, never giv ing a backward thought that any thing could happen to this won derful heritage of ours. Our job is to keep and strength en this heritage, so that we will have something for our own bene fit and something to hand down to our posterity. There are many things that go hand in hand with our way of Subscription Price and Tax Inside county $2.5* Outside county, in state _.. $3.09 Outside state $3.00 Dr. Jose Antonia Fernandez left Nahunta Saturday, Oct. 16, to go to Cuba and bring back a number of his relatives and rela tives of his wife, it is reported. Dr. Fernandez is reported t o have chartered a boat with capa city of 200 passengers. He plan ned to bring back about 30 rela tives and as many other Cubans as might wish to return with him. Dr. Fernandez’s action at this time was caused by the announce ment that Cuban dictator Castro had agreed to allow relatives and friends of Cubans in the United States to leave Cuba. Dr. Fernandez came to Nahun ta several weeks ago as physi cian at the Brantley Medical Building. He succeeded Dr. J. L. Walker who moved to lowa. Georgia Can Expand 'Dimension Stock' industry. Tech Says ATLANTA — Georgia has e nough hardwood sawtimber and there is a large enough furniture manufacturing market in the state and in other eastern states to support an expanded hard wood “demension sock” industry, according to studies conducted by Georgia Tech’s Industrial De velopment Division. “Dimension stock” is partially finished, “roughed-out” wood parts for furniture and other wood products. The Tech surveys indicate that even within the state there is a potential $5 million demand for dimension stock that is not being filled. In addition there are a number of centers of furniture manufacturing in neighboring states that could use more Geor gia hardwood lumber if it were dried and machined into dimen sion stock. life and if we are to perpetuate the American ideal and the free enterprise system and the pros perity which is its natural by product, then we must maintain our old- fashioned constitutional integrity, keep our strength and be vigilant and make no compro mise with evil. When it is brought to our attention that only 7 per cent of the earth’s people enjoy individual freedom today, we know that these few must heed this warning and hold on to this last vestige of individual liberty or to us will come the dropping of the iron curtain as it has come to many parts of the once free world. Now is no time to weaken or compromise: we must stand firm ly on our convictions to maintain our liberties intact, and by so do ing through concerted effort we will emerge victorious in this great global fight for freedom. The men and women who came and founded this great country of ours performed a miracle which had never been done before in the history of the world. At that time they chained government down, fashioned it to man’s pur pose, and sought to make sure that it would never break loose to his destruction. This nation was conceived and rose to world leadership through men of integrity and wide vision, of individuals with bold, far reaching minds, who insisted on crossing the frontiers of the un known. Our country and our cul ture are infinitely richer and stronger for their challenge. Our desire to earn and to own must never be allowed to lie dor mant, and agricultural opportun ities ahead in this great age of progress must stir our ambition on to real achievement in FFA and community life. Our Ameri can heritage has stood the test bf America’s way of life —a country the eyes of the world are looking toward for guidance —a country where a man can work, think, speak and worship as he desires —a country where there is wide-open competition of ideas based on wide-open access t o knowledge —for all Americans?
