Babcock-Wilcox Company Get Big Nuclear Contract BARBERTON, OHIO — The Babcock & Wilcox Company released additional details of its contract to furnish two nuclear power systems for a new $157 million power plant to be located in northwestern South Carolina by Duke Pow er Company. The contract was originally announced by Duke Power in Clemson, South Carolina on July 5. The units will provide a total of 1,644,000 kilowatts and represent the largest nuclear capacity yet purchased by a Questions and Answers on the Bible BY MRS. GLADYS C. JOHNSON DOES GOD PUNISH THE CHRISTIAN FOR SIN? Webster defines sin as “the breaking of religious law or a moral principle, especially through a willful act.” Since God is au thor of the moral and religious law. then sin actually would be disobedience to God’s command. We are assuming that every Christian does sin. If we are hon est with ourselves, we must admit that not a day goes by but what we sin against both God and our fellowman. We disobey His com mands. Will God chastise His children for such disobedience? Do we cor rect our children when they do those things which have been for bidden them? Os course we do. Why? Because we love them and want the very best for them and the laws which we have laid down for them, we trust, will bring them that best. God would be even less respon sible than an earthly father if He failed to chastise His children when He saw them bringing harm upon themselves. This chastise ment may come in many differ ent ways. Sometimes He has to pull us up short as we go on our carefree way as unruly Christians — perhaps by sickness or death — but whatever the means He uses we can be sure He is doing it for our own good and for the glory of His Name. When we break any of the laws of health, we know that we will pay for it. We overwork our body and we succumb to a heart at- BRANTLEY ENTERPRISE Brantley County — Land of Forest Products, Naval Stores, Tobacco, Livestock, Honey, Hunting, Fishing — and Progressive People. Smith said the Food Distri bution project would probably not begin functioning on a community level until mid- August. The six home management aides employed in Brantley County will join 44 others from throughout the seven counties in five weeks of train ing before project activities get underway in the communities. Brantley County’s aides, re commended by the county’s Community Action Committee and approved by Slash Pine’s Policy Board, include, Mrs. Agnes Keene, Mrs. Lois Hulett, Mrs. Myrtle Hickox, Mrs. Geraldine White, Mrs. Mae Etta Blue, Mrs. Louise Hen drix. The five weeks of training will begin Monday, July 18. The Brantley County group will attend classes in Nahunta, Smith said. investor owned utility under a single contract. First of the 822,000 net electrical kilowatt pressurized water (PWR) nuclear steam systems will go into service in May, 1971 with the second following one year later. The 42-foot high reactor ves sels will be fabricated of stain less clad, low carbon steel and will have an outside diameter of 16 feet and weight 400 tons each. The vessels will be man ufactured at B&W’s new heavy pressure vessel facility at Mt. Vernon, Ind. tack — we worry and fret and soon we have a nervous break down — we get our feet wet and we take a cold. These are natur al results of breaking the laws of nature. Why can we not believe that if we sin, we must pay the pen alty? Paul was very emphatic when He said, “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Galatians 6:7. Many parents are reaping in heartbreak and tears the results of their neglect in earlier years of the children with whom God entrusted them. We are speaking of Christians because for us this chastisement takes place in this present world. We can rejoice that there will be no punishment or judgement for the Christian when we leave this world for our sins have been washed white in the blood of the Lamb. All sorrow and heartache will then be forever gone.. But that does not free us from suffering and sorrow here and now. David, although God willing ly forgave him for his sin with Bathsheba, yet had to pay the penalty in the death of his son. Jacob — though he became a Prince among men and a man deeply dedicated to God — yet he lived to see his own sons fol lowing the pattern of his younger, sinful days. Let us as Christians ask the Lord to keep us from sin, but when we do sin that we may be quick to realize our failure and I ask God’s forgiveness.

There is still a problem in re moving the original Permanent Press crease when trousers must be lengthened. However, good strides are being made in the ca pability of altering Permanent Press trousers and it is extremely likely that within a year such merchandise will be available. At the moment, open-bottom Perman ent Press slacks are featured in many lines for fall selling. The makers suggest the use of either chemical or mechanical aids in cuffing. Several aerosol sprays are coming on the market to aid in resetting creases in Permanent Press products. Q. Are 100 percent cotton Per manent Press garments satisfac tory? A. The first all-cotton Perman ent Press garments were weak ened by the chemicals added to the fabrics, with splitting re sulting. Consequently, a man made fiber was desirable in Per manent Press for added strength. Presently. 100 percent cotton Per manent Press articles are being revived with special treatments. They should be a safe purchase within the next year. Q. Is Permanent Press fabrics a good purchase for the home sewer. A. Permanent Press fabrics are difficult to use in constructing gar ments that require fullness eased into sleeves, collars, or seams, Home sewers do not have avail able the heat-setting equipment necessary to take care of this full ness. Therefore, until chemical sprays are available to the con sumer, she should only choose Permanent Press fabrics for sim ple garments that are sleeveless and collarless. Otherwise, a home made appearing garment with pucketed sleeves will result. Prepared by Nancy E. Garrison, Home Economist-Clothing, Coop erative Extension Service, Univer sity of Georgia.)

Harrison Charges Power Company Trying to Hold ^zk REA A spokesman for the Georgia rural electric cooperatives today charged the Georgia Power Com pany with trying to hold back the development of consumer-owned rural power systems in the state. Walter Harrison, executive man ager of the Georgia Electric Mem bership Corporation, an associa tion representing the state’s forty one electric cooperatives, made the charge in noting recent acti vities of Georgia Power in op position to the proposed “Supple mental Financing Program for Rural Electrification.” The proposed legislation, which would establish a Federal Bank for rural electric systems, would bring funds from the private mon ey market into the rural electrifi cation Administration’s regular two per cent loan program. In June, Edwin I. Hatch, President of the Georgia Power Company, filed testimony in opposition to the Electric Bank before the Com mittee on Agriculture of the House of Representatives. “Mr. Hatch’s opposition to this plan makes it obvious that the Georgia Power Company is dedi cated to thwart the continued pro gress of rural electric coopera tives in the state by any means Subscription Price and Tax Inside county - - $2.58 Outside county, in state $4-12 Outside state - $4.00 MACON, GEORGIA, July 13 - Commissioner of Agriculture Phil Campbell announced tiday that the Georgia Tobacco Advisory Board, meeting at Macon this morning, voted unanimously to recommend opening Georgia’s tobacco sales this year on Wednesday, July 27.

Fos ter, Wadley, Senator Frank El dridge, Waycross; Representative David L. Newton, Representative Dewey Rush, Representative Cur tis Herndon, Frank Pidcock, 111, B. E. Tanner, Douglas.

He enlisted in the army and serv ed for three years with the Army Security Agency during the Korean War. possible,” Harrison said. “For years the private power companies have criticized rural e lectrics for using low-interest Fed eral loans as a source of growth capital. Now that a plan has been formulated to bring higher cost money into the program, they are equally adamant in their opposi tion. It should be clear to anyone that they just don’t want us to grow no matter what interest rate we pay or where the growth capi tal comes from,” Harrison charg ed. “In addition to the congressional testimony against our legislation, Harrison said, officials of the Georgia Power Company have continued their opporition by send ing out news releases, by urging anti-rural electric editorials, and by encouraging their employees and stockholders to bombard Con gress with letters of opposition.” According to .the state’s rural e lectric spokesman, the Georgia Power Company claims that the plan to bring private money into the rural electric program will lead to an eventual take over of the electric industry and will re sult in tax losses. “These charges, Harrison emphasized, are simply preposterous.”
