The American Insurance Asso ciation cautions that children and other bystanders should be kept away from the mower while you are cutting the grass.

A stone or some hard object can damage the mower if its blade strikes it. To the Library for Help (Dedicated to National Library Week) When I go to the library, I enjoy myself, I look at the books that are there on the shelf. The library is a place to find ’most anything. About a big old monster, or a small diamond ring. There’s a librarian to do her deed, She’ll try to fill your every need. She’ll help you find something on Mars, She’ll even find a book about cars. And, if you’re not interested in that kind of book, Go in, yourself, and take a look. “Now, listen, girls! We know your joy, “You want something about a boy. “Just go in, it’s right near. “Why do you think they have a library here?” “Hey, you boys! If you’re not interested in girls, “You may want something about flying squirrels. “Maybe that’s not a very good hint, “Maybe you want information about a tent.” Or, maybe you want to write a book report, Or, perhaps, something of that sort. In the library there are librarians, books, and news. Go try it, for any materials that you can use. —Mary Lois Clifton, 9th grade.

Campbell Warns Farmers of Area On Hog Cholera Atlanta — The dangerous months for an increase in the in cidence of hog cholera are here, Commissioner of Agriculture Phil Campbell has warned hog farm ers. “For the past few years, there has been a reservoir of hog cho lera infection in Southeast Geor gia with serious outbreaks oc curing in 1965 following minor out breaks at this time in previous years,” Campbell said. Particularly heavy losses oc curred in Coffee, Bullock, Cand ler, Tattnall, Wayne, Appling, Pierce, Bacon, Ben Hill and Ir win Counties. The agriculture commissioner requested hog farmers in South east Georgia, particularly those in the counties named, to check their hogs daily and report any symptoms of illness to their vet erinarian, county agent, or to the Georgia Department of Agricul ture. So far this year, Georgia has had only nine cases of cholera. This record can be maintained, agriculture officials believe, with full cooperation and diligence on the part of the hog farmer. 1966 Licenses To Hunt, Fish Now on Sale New 1966 fishing, hunting and combination (fishing and hunting combined) licenses are now on sale at tackle dealers and license agents all over the state.

If You Subscribe To The Fnfornrise, You Don't Have to Hunt All Over for A Copy to Read Questions and Answers on the Bible BY MRS. GLADYS C. JOHNSON Does God expect Christians to keep the Ten Commandments? The Ten Commandments were the basis of the covenant which God made with Israel — that if they would obey His law, He would be their God. This covenant was never made with the Gentiles for the law was a system of works while the co venant made by Christ was no thing but matchless grace. The book of Galatians explains this fully but let me quote two verses concerning the law as Paul understood it. “Until Christ came we were guarded by the law, kept in protective custody, so to speak, until we could be delivered over to faith in the Saviour Who was coming — But now we have come to Christ and we don’t need those laws any longer to guard us and lead us to Him.” Galatians 3:23, 25 The Paraphrased Epistles. Suppose you look into a mirror and discover that your face is dirty. Will looking into the mirror cleanse your face? Os course not. You could stand there all day and it would not change the way you look. You need to use soap and water to remove the grime. The law or Ten Commandments Is our mirror to show us the sin tn our life but that law cannot save us. Nothing will cleanse us of our sin except faith in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Does this mean that Christians do not need to keep the Ten Com- Subscription Price and Tax inside county $2.5# Outside county, in state —L_ >3.09 Outside state ,— $3.00 WASHINGTON, D. C. - Con-' gressman Russel Tuten announc ,ed this week he will oppose any current increase in corporate and personal income taxation. The Eighth District Congress man stated that a reduction in spending is the best available weapon against the threat of infla tion. ' Said Tuten, “The logical 1 solution’ lies in cutting spending by the Federal Government — the great est source of inflation in this country.” The Administration, which re duced taxes in 1964. is now lean ing toward another 5 to 7 per cent tax increase as a tool to halt inflation. Tuten declared that a reduc tion in spending on unnecessary domestic programs would insure future availability of funds to carry on the war in Viet Nam. “The successful conclusion of the war should be our main objec tive,” he says. The Congressman suggested that Congress prune the $3.8 billion in foreign requests. Rosine Morgan Is Promoted Miss Rosine Morgan, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Morgan of Nahunta, who is presently in the Women’s Ar my Corps., has just been pro moted to Specialist Fifth Class.

Waycross District WSCS Met April 19 “Chosen for Action — Will We Respond” was the theme of the Waycross District Annual Meeting of the W. S. C. S„ held at Firsl Methodist Church, Douglas on April 19. A large delegation of Methodist women, representing churches throughout the district heard re ports from local societies and dis trict officers. Mrs. Carlton Car ruth of Tifton, Southeastern Juris diction Secretary of Campus Min istry was the featured speaker. mandments? When tiie scribe came to Je sus asking which is the first com mandment of all, Jesus answered him, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength; this is the first commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other com mandment greater than these. Mark 12:30, 31. If you read the Ten Command ments carefully you will see that the first four deal with man’s re lationship to God while the last six have to do with man’s relation ship to his fellowman. So, if we accept Christ’s teach ing as to loving the Lord our God with all our heart and soul and mind, we will be keeping the first four commandments. If we accept the second com mandment that we love our neigh bor as ourselves, we will not be able to break the other six. We will not steal from our neighbor, bear false witness or commit a dultery. Although the 10 Commandments were not directed to the Gentiles, as Christians Christ expects us to raise our standards even higher because we are living under grace and enjoying the wonderful privi leges of children of the living God. The greater the privileges — the greater are the responsibili ties.
