Want your pecans shelled as
unbroken halves? Miss Nelle

the pecans overnight in a wet
towel. Next day, crack the nuts
by applying pressure end to end,
rather than side to side. Now
you are ready to remove the pe
can meat from the shell — in
two halves.
Questions and Answers
on the Bible
BY MRS. GLADYS C. JOHNSON
What does the Bible say about
God's temporal care of His chil
dren?
There are four basic necessities
which we as individuals feel we
must have in order to live free
from worry and concern ... Food,
Clothing, Shelter and Security.
When these fundamentals are en
dangered, what is our reaction?
Fume and fret or do we exercise
our faith?
We are speaking now of Chris
tians who have a Father in hea
ven. Our hearts go out to chil
dren who are left without a father
either by death or desertion. The
thought uppermost in our minds
is their physical plight. Do they
have enough to eat, something to
protect them from the cold, a
place to sleep?
That is the responsibility of a
father — to see that his loved
ones are cared for physically.
But even more important is HIS
need to meet THEIR need of a
sense of security — in his ability
to provide for them and in his
love for them.
Let us think of God and His re
lationship to us as a Father.
When He created the earth and
living creatures, He gave to man
“every moving thing that liveth
to be meat for him.” It was never
God’s intention that any of His
children should hunger. The greed
and sin of man has made this
world a place where half the
world goes to bed hungry. This
cannot be blamed on God.
Remember the feeding of the
5000 who had followed him to the
mountain to hear Him teach? He
was moved with compassion for
them. Using a little boy’s lunch
prepared by a loving mother, He
fed them.
When Elijah fled from the wrath
of Jezebel and hid by the brook
Cherith, God sent the ravens to
bring him bread and flesh morn
ing and evening. Elijah was a
child of God so God cared for
Him. I Kings 17:6.
As parents we cannot bear to

Warner Robins
Seeks Trainees
For AFB Jobs
The Warner Robins Air Material
Area, Robins AFB, Ga. is recruit
ing for the immediate employ
ment of trainees in the newly de
veloped Apprentice Training Pro
grams.
These programs have been de
signated to bring employees into
the Federal Service who have ap
titudes in one of the mechanical
trades. Employees hired under
this program will be designated
as trainees and will progress
through the various levels of this
trade until they are fully qualified
as Junior Level Mechanics.
The program will provide for 8
hours in the classroom each week
and 32 hours on-the-job training.
The classroom portion of the
training in some of the areas will
be conducted by the Macon area
vocational school. Employees in
these programs will attend the
school for one day each week and
will spend the remainder of the
time working at Robins AFB, Ga.
Employees will be paid for the
time they are attending school. At
the present time, employees are
being hired as trainee Radar Re
pairer, Power Ground Equipment
Mechanic and Machinist Appren
tice.
Tests will be given at the Way
cross, Ga., State Employment Of
fice on Feb. 7, 1966, and those ap
plicants passing the test and meet
ing the other Civil Service re
quirements will be offered em
ployment at that time.
The test is one designed to se
lect trainees who will be able to
absorb the training given and re
quires a knowledge of mathema

have our children cold for lack of
clothing. A father makes provi
sion for such protection.
The children of Israel wandered
40 years in the wilderness, yet
God did not allow their clothes or
shoes to wear out. Nehemiah 9:21.
They were disobedient children —
true — but nonetheless He cared
for them.
As Jesus was teaching His dis
ciples the parable of the rich fool,
He admonished them to be more
concerned for the eternal things
of the spirit than the material
trappings of this world. He said,
“If then God so clothe the grass
which is today in the field, and
tomorrow is cast into the oven;
how much more will he clothe
you, O ye of little faith?” Luke
12:28.
Many of God’s people put too
much faith in their temporal home
of bricks, wood and stone. God
will not allow His people to suf
fer for want of a roof over their
head but He also wants to pro
vide the wonderful shelter of His
love — shelter in a time of storm.
He has promised that “my peo
ple shall dwell in a peaceable
habitation, and in sure dwellings,
and in quiet resting places. Isaiah
32:18.
Food — Clothing — Shelter and
Security. Man puts his trust in
stocks and bonds — his bank ac
counts. All of these can be wiped
out overnight.
God says, “Trust in the Lord,
and do good; so shalt thou dwell
in the land and varily thou shalt
be fed. Delight thyself also in the
lord, and he shall give the desires
of thine heart . . . The Lord
knoweth the days of the upright;
and their inheritance shall be for
ever.” Psalm 37.
Our Father knows our every
need and will supply it according
to His mercy and grace. The cat
tle on a thousand hills are His —
the rubys and the diamonds. Why
should we worry? We are child
ren of the King.

Senator Dean Turns Down
Nudist Society Invitation
State Senator Roscoe E. Dean,
Jr., announced that he had re
jected an offer to join the Trop
icana Nudist Society, a Chicago
based group now operating from
Atlanta P. O. Box 4715. Senator
Dean said, “This brazen offer
was extended in a letter from
the Society’s Executive Secre
tary, Grace Marie, who also at
tacked my bill to outlaw nudism
as “silly."
Seantor Dean said, “Essential
ly, my bill outlaws unclothed as
sembly by mixed, non-family
groups. It goes beyond present
statutes against indecent exposure
which are not broad enough to
prevent collective gatherings o f
nudists. I want to make it very
clear that my bill does not in
vade the sanctity of the home.
It does not infringe upon family
rights nor does it concern the
locker rooms of athletic teams.
The Senate has no stauncher de
fender of individual rights and ci
vil liberties than Roscoe Dean,
but I also realize that society has
the right and the urgent respon
sibility to outlaw cancerous and
corrupting influences such as nu
dism.”
The Senator continued, “Good
church people from my district
and across Georgia have asked
me to take preventive action to
keep this immoral influence out
of Georgia.”
Senator Dean discussed with
state Methodist and Baptist
Church officials their churches’
resolutions on the growing men
ace of nudism.
Gene Carroll, Director of the
Georgia Methodist Information
Center cited a resolution adopted
by the Annual North Georgia
Methodist Conference at its June
1965 session. The resolution said
that “nudist camps would add
nothing to the economic and/or
spriitual life of our state . . • •
Georgia Methodists will continue
to strive for high character and
dignity.”
Dr. Searcy S. Garrison, Execu
tive Secretary-Treasurer of the
Georgia Baptist Convention noted
in a letter that the Convention in
November 1965 has “voted its en
dorsement of ‘proposed legisla
tion to ban the establishment of
a nudist colony in Georgia.’
Senator Dean said, “Contrary
to some people’s first reaction
that nudism in Georgia is a joke,
we must realize that the issue is
upon us here and now. The peo
ple of my District and church
men and women from all over
Georgia are urging that the Leg
islature take constructive action
before it is too late.”
“My bill has been prepared by
skilled legal minds,” continued
the Senator, “to avoid pitfalls
that nullified similar legislation
in Tennessee. To meet the con
stitutional requirement of ‘due
process,’ it has been necessary to
use specific anatomical language
in defining the practice of nu
dism.”
“I have been interested to
note,” said the Senator, “that one
of the principal supporters of nu
dists in Georgia is the American
Civil Liberties Union. I for one
would rather take my stand with
the miHions of the church peo
ple of Georgia.
To me this is a clear-cut issue.
One is either in favor of estab
lishing an influence harmful to
general morality in our beloved
State of Georgia, or one is not.
I am not.”
Senator Dean continued, “I
have heard from the people on
this subject. One good woman
from my district expressed the
situation perfectly when she said
that there was nothing obscene a
bout the human body, but that
she simply did not want a group
of nudists to set up camp near
her home and her children.”
The Senator said that “a noted
historian recently said that “the
most distressing aspect of the
world today is its indifference to
the basic issues, which now, as
always, are moral issues.’ I say
today that Georgia is faced with
a serious moral issue. We must
act and we must act quickly, yet
carefully, if we are to overcome
the moral decay that threatens
to blight our state. Even though
we live in an age when the Su
preme Court has banned the Ho
ly Bible in our schools, it is our
responsibility and our duty to
protect home virtues by seeing
that nudism is not established in
our communities.”
Senator Dean continued, “I in
troduced this bill to outlaw nu
dism at the insistence of the con
cerned citizens of Georgia. I am
more and more disturbed at the
serious threat to public morality
posed by these nudist groups. We
must realize that their organized
invasion is no joke, and that when
the thoughtless laughter dies a
way, the danger will still remain.
“I love my state, and I hope
and pray that the General As
sembly will take quick action to
protect it by adopting this bill
to outlaw nudist colonies in Geor
gia.” (ADV.)

and the expansion of our road sys
tem presents problems in safety
that reach beyond the means of
local and state governments. Na
tional action is necessary if we
are to reduce the 50,000 deaths,
three million injured, and the loss
of eight billion dollars of our na
tional wealth in annual highway
accidents. The destruction on this
nation’s highways must cease,”
said Tuten.
“I believe Congressman Mac
kay’s idea of a National Traffic
Safety Agency, one which can
conduct intensive research and
implement the findings is a sound
and reasonable approach,” added
the Eighth District Congressman.
