REDEEMING
SICKNESS
Sickness can be a device of the
devil or a means of grace. There
is no way to rid sickness of many
of its unpleasantnesses, but it can
be redeemed from the self-pity
and tedium that often accompany
As an example of a redeemed
sickness, let us consider the case
of a certain elderly woman. She
has been sick for several months.
She can only get about a little
in her home. A son and his wife
see that her needs are cared for.
Neighbors and freinds stop fre
quently for chats. But the lady’s
illness is seldom a topic of con
versation. Her visitors will ask,
“How are you today?" to which
she will answer, “Just fine.” If
she isn't feeling so well, she
won’t let on or else she will make
a joke about it like, “My get-up
and-go has gone up and went.”
Her hearty laughter frequently
punctuates the conversation.
When a visitor mentions a prob
lem or sorrow of theirs, the sick
lady will pick up her Bible and
say, “Let’s let God talk to us
about it.”
When there are no callers, she
writes cards and letters always
bringing cheer and sound advice
Drawdy Named Assistant Director
Os Vocational-Technical School
EDWARD DRAWDY
In naw post at area school
A recent change in the ad
ministration of the Way cross-
Ware County Area Vocational-
Technical School has result
ed in the naming of Edward
Drawdy as assistant director.
Mr. Drawdy will be responsi
ble for the operation of even
ing extension classes, in addi
tion to other administrative
duties.
Edward Drawdy, the son
of Mr. and Mrs. B. D. Drawdy
of Blackshear, was born in
Ware County in December,
1937, and shortly thereafter
moved to Pierce County,
where he has resided till now.
He is presently living in Pat
terson, and is married to the
former Miss Lois Everett of
Social Circle, Georgia. She is
an English teacher in Patter
son High School.
Mr. Drawdy graduated from
Blackshear High School in
1955 and immediately enroll
ed in Young Harris Junior
College as a business student.
After graduation from Young
Harris in 1957. he entered
Georgia Southern College with
a .major in business education.
While completing his under
graduate work, Mr. Drawdy
was tapped for two honorary
fraternities — Pi Omega Pi and
Kappa Phi Kappa.
After obtaining a B. S. De
gree in 1959, he started teach
ing and doing graduate work.
Mr. Drawdy received a state
grant for graduate work and
earned his Master’s Degree in
1964 from Georgia Southern

In teaching experience. Mr.
Drawdy has a total of seven

instructor and head of the
business education department.
to old friends and loved ones
whom she does not often see.
She has redeemed her sickness
into a time of serving others. Peo
ple who stop by to cheer her up
leave finding that they are the
ones who have been cheered.
Though she does suffer, she
doesn’s complain about it. She
refuses to give in to hqy sickness,
and so she has taken it from the
hands of the devil, which would
make her bitter, resentful and
selfish, and dedicated her sick
ness to God.
In our busy, hectic lives what
an opportunity is provided by the
slowdown of sickness. It can be
a time to read and think. It can
be a time to plan. It can be a
time to contemplate the wonders
of God.
Sickness need not be a time of
boredom. It can be redeemed
from tedium by the activities of
the mind and soul. It is an ex
cellent time to practice the pres
ence of God through prayer and
meditation.
So, plan for your sickness a
head of time. Unless you are very
fortunate, you will not be able
to escape times of physical con
finement. Plan to redeem those
times from self-pity and bore
dom by being a disciple of the
Lord in sickness as in health.
'Russell Tuten
Day' Planned
At Brunswick
BRUNSWICK — Brunswick and
Glynn County, home of U. S. Rep.
J. Russell Tuten, will observe
Sat., Dec. 10, as “Russell Tuten
Day” in appreciation of his 10
years public service as city
commissioner, mayor and Eighth
District Congressman.
Terming the event “non-politi
cal,” Edward B. Parker, former
chairman of the Eighth District
Democratic Executive Committee,
said Tuten's years in public office
have “cost him a great deal fin
ancially and required him to make
many other personal sacrifices.”
“We just want him to know
we appreciate it," Parker declar
ed.
“Elective public office is pos
sibly the most demanding of all
professions," he added. “All too
often in this country we take for
granted contributions of genuine
merit by conscientious public ser
vants. lliis is one reason we some
times find it hard to get good men
to run for office.”
The city and county commissions
here were expected to pass reso
lutions proclaiming “Russell Tu
ten Day” at their regular meet
ings this week.
Parker said those sponsoring the
day include many persons who
did not support Tuten in the Sept.
8 Democratic Primary. «
The group plans to present Rep.
Tuten a book containing a letter
of appreciation signed by hun
dreds, possibly thousands of Eigh
th District citizens. A gift will
accompany the book.
Parker invited all citizens wish
ing to participate in the gesture
to contact him at P. O. Box 1179
or telephone 265-5420. Brunswick.

Referendum Being Held on Cotton
Quotas, Research and Promotion
Cotton farmers are being
called upon to decide whether
or not they want to put up a
very small sum to push their
cotton into consumption or
whether they want to give up
and find something else to
grow.
This issue faces them in the
referendum on the Cotton Re
search and Promotion Order
and Cotton Marketing Quota
Referendum, Harry Peacock,
Chairman of the Pierce County
ASC Committee said.
“The proposal,” he explain
ed, “has been guided by a
beltwide producer committee.
It contains every conceivable
safeguard for farmers — both
collectively and individually.”

majority representing two
thirds of the volume of those
participating in the referen
dum is required. This would
authorize collection of $1 per
bale by handlers to finance a
greatly expanded program of
research and promotion. Even
though the dollar a bale would
be collected on all cotton, it
would still be voluntary on
the part of the individual
farmers. He could claim a
full refund of all his money.
“Because of our failure to
sell cotton, we have accumu
lated the greatest surplus in
history. The current carryover
of unused cotton is well over
16% million bales.
“Coupled with the record
surplus — and because of it
— we have this season the
RAYON RADIALS.
Sit down and talk tire design objectively
with tire men and it’s soon agreed that
radial tires are the strongest, safest and
longest-wearing tires ever.
Now talk tire fabric factually, and it’s
agreed that rayon tire fabric provides the
high-speed durability and stability which
all-around safety requirements demand.
In fact, of all the tire fabrics available,
rayon is the only one the Akron tire people
use for reinforcing both the carcass and
the belt of their radial tires. (Nylon’s high
stretchability makes it unsuitable for
radials.) And rayon radials have long been
the preferred tires on Europe’s heavier cars.

lowest acreage in almost a
hundred years: and we are
doomed to a continuing down
trend in acreage unless we find
away to sell more cotton,” he
emphasized.
Mr. Peacock explained that
although cotton is competitive
in price with rayon it is los
ing markets rapidly to more
expensive non-cellulosic fibers
such as Dacron, nylon, and
Orlon. Their total U. S. mar
ket now equals nearly seven
million bales of cotton. They
have gained over two million
bales in the last two years.
Manufacturers of these fi
bers, he estimated, are spend
ing more than S2OO million an
nually for research and pro
motion to develop new pro
ducts, improve these products,
and sell them to consumers.
This compares with about S3O
million from all sources for
cotton research and promotion.
Research and promotion
have been conducted for a
The rayon radial tire is catching on fast.
So why not get yours on the road? The
sooner, the better.
This is the tire that’s going to end all
the tire talk.
WHAT'S RAYONIER'S INTEREST
You’ll find us a very interested party. Be
cause we work with the rayon industry to
produce those advanced grades of chemi
cal cellulose which are the basic raw mate
rial in today's great tire cords — Dynacor*
and Tyrex* rayon tire cords.
Rayonier Incorporated, Southeast operations at Jesup and Glenville, Ga., Fernandina Beach and Yulee
number of years by the Na
tional Cotton Council and
have been supplemented by
funds from the Cotton Pro
ducers Institute which was
organized in 1961. Their total
funds, however, amount to a
mere fraction of the sum being
spent by cotton’s competitors.
If quotas are approved,
“cooperators” will be eligible
for loans and payments, with
special provisions for small
farms.
If quotas are disapproved,
there will be no diversion
payments or price support pay
ments. Loans will be a 50%
of parity if allotment is not
exceeded.
An envelope containing in
formation and ballots for the
two referendums were mailed
to all known eligible cotton
producers on December 2,
1966.
They are (1) The Cotton
Marketing Quota Referendum
and (2) the Cotton Research
IN RADIAL TIRES?
and Promotion Order Referen
dum. These referendums cov
er separate and independent
questions. The out-come of
one will in no way affect the
other.
These ballots must be re
turned by mail or in person on
or before December 9, 1966.
However ballots postmarked
after midnight December 9,
1966 will not be counted. If
you have any questions about
either of these referendums,
contact the ASCS County Of
fice.
FALL SOIL TEST
The best time to take soil
samples is in the fall in order
that lime may be applied sev
eral months prior to planting
time. According to Cooperative
Extension Service agronomists,
these samples should be taken
from six to twelve representa
tive places scattered over the
garden and should be mixed
thoroughly in a clean bucket.
And we also work constantly to develop
new, advanced uses for the cellulose from
our trees, the kind, incidentally, we grow
nearby.
This way we build for the future, yours
and ours. For the better our products, the
more uses for them, and the better become
our chances in our hotly competitive indus
trial society.
At Rayonier, you know, we do a lot
more than cultivate trees and harvest them
for our mills. We are also very busy culti
vating the future, so that our contributions
to our communities, for one, may never be
found wanting.
