Address all mail to Nahunta, Georgia 31553 Weekly Meditation By Jack Arnold, Pastor Pierce Circuit Methodist Charge The First Word of The Christian Faith “From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17 Does your faith seem to lack the power to make a difference in l your life or in the lives of people who look up to you? Do you wonder why the Christian religion has not over come evil and established righteousness as has been promised? I believe the answer is found in the beginning of the pro clamation of the Christian Gospel. In the beginning a command was given. It was the first word in the preach ing of John the Baptist. This word was the starting point of the preaching ministry of Je sus. The word is “Repent.” The Christian life can be begun only at this point. This creates a stumbling block. We human beings like to believe that we can move on life’s road and ignore th® unpleasant things of the past. We would rather forget o'”- sins than repent of them. We want to choose those ele mer^ of the Christian faith that appeal to us and leave out other things feeling that as long as we do some good things, we’re all right. However, things do not work like this. Sin cannot be ignored or forgotten or covered up by our good works. Before Chris tianity can be an effective power in our lives making us a blessing to others and as suring us the eternal life, the power of sin must be effective ly canceled by the power of God. Repentance is asking for giveness. God has forgiven us already — at a terrible price. Through the death of Christ God has touched all mankind with his mercy and grace. However, we .must appropri ate this forgiveness.

Day Saturday but before it can help the wrong-doer, he must want to be forgiven. This involves ad mitting guilt, very difficult for us human beings to do. We must acknowledge that we are in the wrong. Asking forgiveness forces us to humility. It forces us to ad mit that God is greater than ourselves. Repentance is also a prom ise. Along with the “I'm sorry” must come the words, “I won’t do it again.” This part is difficult. With God’s help, it can be done. It has been proved countless times that sin loses its power over a truly repentant sinner. It is a spiritual law. You may feel that you are a Christian. But have you obeyed the first word of faith? Repent — immediately — com pletely.

LEGISLATIVE REPORT By Glenn McCullough Executive Manager Georgia Press Association ATLANTA — The contro versial question of whether the state sales tax shall be raised from 3 to 4 per cent with the extra one cent going to help counties and cities was due to come up in the House of Representatives this week as the 1967 session nears its end. One bill, introduced by Rep. Wayne Snow, Jr. of the First District and others would con dition the 1 cent raise on pas sage of a constitutional amend ment which would be voted on at the general election in No vember, 1968. If passed, it would became effective Jan uary 1, 1969. Under the provisions of this bill the 1 cent extra would be divided evenly between the school systems and general administration of cities and counties. There is widespread opposi tion to any blanket raise in the sales tax. When 1 Elmer George, Executive Director of the Georgia Municipal Association, appeared before the House Ap propriations Committee to urge the 4 cent sales tax, he was told there was little prob ability of its passage. What is more likely, he was told, is that the Assembly may give cities and counties the right to impose a 1 cent sales tax on themselves. Many members of the As sembly are aware that the rapidly-rising cost of govern ment has posed a dilemma for Georgia cities, which have al most no source of taxation ex cept an ad valorem tax on real estate. Meanwhile, the Senate on Thursday or Friday was ex pected to take action on the House-passed appropriations bill providing about $1.6 bil lion to operate the State of Georgia during the next two fiscal years. Senator Lamar Plunkett, chairman of the Ap propriations Committee, said he was unable to predict early this week whether there would be any substantial changes. The Senate also is expected this week to pass a reappor tionment bill in conformity with a Federal court order to make senatorial districts more nearly equal. The plan work ed out bv the Senate Economy, Reorganization and Efficiency Committee would adjust the populations of Senatorial dis tricts in Fulton, and DeKalb Counties and shift some coun'- ties among six Senatorial dis tricts over the state. Earlier the House passed a reapportionment bill cutting the size of the chamber from 205 to 195 members and elim inating 15 House districts. This brings 82 per cent of the dis tricts within a 10 per cent difference from a population “norm” of about 23,000 and a difference of no more than 15 per cent in any of the districts. The Assembly received a shock last week when the U. S. Supreme Court rejected a Texas reapportionment plan under which the differences from “norm” were even less. There was talk of revising both the House and Senate bills, but leaders finally agreed to submit them to the U. S. District Court here as they are. If the court does not ac cept them, there must be further reapportionment next January. Former Governor George Wallace of Alabama and his i L?. > - jrF ...i < i ■ W A W . . .

Federal Deposit Insurance Now $15,000 On Deposits in This Bank wife, Mrs. Lurleen Wallace, the present Governor, address ed the General Assembly last week in response to an As sembly invitation 1 suggested by Governor Lester G. Maddox. Former Governor Wallace lam basted the Federal Govern ment, particularly the school guidelines, and indicated he will be a candidate for Presi dent in 1968 on a “states’ rights” ticket. The pair re ceived stormy applause. What the press viewed as a “power struggle” between Governor Maddox and Lt. Governor George T. Smith, presiding officer of the Senate, erupted last week when' the Senate, after a heated debate, voted 29 to 19 to set up a “watchdog” committee with the House which would have the power to veto transfer of funds from one part of the budget to another by the governor while the General Assembly is not in session. The bill was passed late Wednesday. After a long con ference Thursday between Governor Maddox and Lt. Governor Smith, the Senate voted 31-0 to reconsider its action. Later Governor Mad dox and Smith on a compro mise. A 20 man House-Senate Committtee will be set up with the Governor appointing 10 members, Lt. Governor Smith appointing four and House Speaker George L. Smith ap pointing 4. Both Lt. Governor Smith and House Speaker Smith will also serve on the committee. The House last week passed a resolution refusing to go along with the “daylight sav ings time” bill passed by Con gress which would advance the clocks by an hour in every state unless its Legislature passed a measure to except it. There was widespread opposi tion from farm, dairy, school and union labor groups. Earlier, the Senate had pass ed a measure excepting Geor gia if two of three neighbor ing states — South Carolina, Florida and Alabama — also voted to be excepted. The House and Senate versions now must be compromised. The House passed 129-3 a bill which would legalize abor tions in Georgia if three physicians attested that bear ing a child would endanger the mother’s health or if they felt a child would be bom with “some irremedial de fects.” Senator H. McKinley Con way of DeKalb County intro duced a resolution 1 requiring the Senate to consider nomina tions in open session rather than in secret as it has done in the past. A companion bill by Senator Conway would re quire that all business of pub lic bodies on a state, county or municipal level must be transacted in public. Stiff penalties were provided for non-observance. Senator Con way said Georgia’s present “open meetings” law was al most worthless because of an amendment permitting execu tive sessions either before or after public meetings. WHY PRUNE? ~ The purpose of pruning young, non'-bearing fruit trees is primarily to shape the trees, according to C. D. Spivey, Ex tension horticulturist at the University of Georgia. The trees should be shaped so the main scaffold branches will be well distributed up and down and around the trunk, he added.

Caldwell pointed out that in the past, Georgia has been the only state in the nation that has not made public its complete unemployment fig ures. He explained that, in the past, only figures for the in sured unemployed were re leased, which did not give a “complete and accurate report of unemployment in Georgia.” Caldwell stated that, “fig ures for 1966 indicated that and she still thinks electric heat is too expensive She’s not the only one. But today that idea is way outdated. The truth is, if it’s properly installed in a home with adequate insulation, electric heating costs no more than any other kind. Very often, less. Want facts-and-figures proof ? Just ask for one of our residential sales engineers or heat pump sales engineers. Or call a Certified Electric Heating Dealer. You’ll get an estimate of your annual heat ing bill. Then, if you wish, you’ll get a modern heating plan designed especially for your home. No cost to you. And our low total-electric rate was made for people of modest means. Budget billing keeps your electric bill the same every month. So, do it now: make a clean break with the past. Step up to the joy of total-electric living. Hurry, 2^ million families are ahead of you. GEORGIA POWER COMPANY Georgia unemployment was 3.4 percent, while the insured unemployment was 1.3 per cent.” This unemployment percent age for Georgia although be low the average, still offers for this Department a chal lenge to reduce it even fur ther. Commissioner Caldwell said, “this is one percentage that I would like to see as the lowest in the nation.” The Commissioner said that insur ed unemployment did not in clude those who were classi fied as “untrainable and un employable”. Poultrymen in Georgia pro duced 471 million broilers in 1966, according to W. Perry Joiner, poultry scientist with the Cooperative Extension Ser vice. Many of these were pro cessed and shipped to other areas for consumption.
