Newspaper Page TextEDITOR’S MOTTO “Be not diverted from your duty by any idle reflections the silly world may make upon you, for their censures are not in your power and should not be at all your con cern”—Epictetus,Roman philo sopher. VOLUME 47 — NUMBER 46 This Inner Ear Sickness Makes You “Wobble” Jesus said, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God . . “Don’t be anxious about what you shall eat and wear. . If you read these sections of Scripture recoreded by St. Matthew, I think you will come to the con elusion that Jesus did not want us to Major on Minor Things! But our society (church members included) has made an “A Plus” in the realm of putting secon dary things in the place of FIRST THINGS. That’s the reason we “wobble” like a person with “inner ear” sickness. An individual with the wobbling ail ment goes to the physician for help and cure. Yet individuals and society as a whole refuse to go to the GREAT PHYSICIAN for spiritual and moral WOBBLES! I am reminded of an elderly Negro whom I knew when I was a boy. Rather, I am reminded of his wagon. Hamp Williams had different sizes and shap ed wheels on hiis wagon. The old mule would pull the wagon to Springfield. Georgia and back home each day, as Hamp sold collards, beans, etc. My Dad said, “When I see Hamp coming with that wagon, I can never tell whether the thing will ‘zig’ or ‘zag’ when it gets opposite me on the road.” That wagon wobbled all over the road. A lot of folks are like that wagon; when you think they will “zig” they’ll “zag”. How can you deal with people like that? Your first impression may be that the individual is stable, but he turns out to be unstable and unreliable — you can’t keep your finger on him. You think him to be a Christian, but you find him to be very much a hypocrite. A wheel has spokes in it. These spokes are connected to a hub at the center of the wheel, which gives it smoothness in travel. When one spoke is longer than the others, the entire weight at times is on that one spoke. That spoke will break because it is not supposed to hold the weight of the whole — the HUB is to do that with the help of every other spoke in the wheel. Jesus Christ is the HUB of the wheel of life and we had best move on that Hub, putting every spoke of our personality where they belong. With Christ as the center of our life, we put Him first and become “solid” souls. Raccoon Rabies Epidemic In South Georgia Area Rabies in raccoons in the southern half of the state has risen 62 percent during the first ten months of this year as compared to the same period last year and this out break has reached an epidem ic stage an official of the State Health Department said. Dr. Russell Currier, the de partment’s veterinarian, warn ed that this increase in rabid raccoons could easily spread to other animal populations and he urged all pet owners to get their animals vaccina ted immediately. Dr. Currier said that the state medical laboratories had confirmed 70 cases of rabid ra coons so far this year, includ ing one in Pierce County and three in adjoining Wayne. Dur ing the first 10 months of last year, only 43 rabid raccoons had been confinned. An inter esting factor, the state health official pointed out, is that the ratio of rabid raccoons to other reported rabid ani mals is very high, raccoons ac counting for 70 of the 80 ani mals confirmed as rabid so far. Laurens county leads the state tally with 13 reported cases of rabid raccoons. Glynn county comes in second with nine. Neither has reported ra bies in any other type of ani mal. Don’t neglect that lawn this fall. Horticulturists with the University of Georgia Cooper ative Extension Service point out that dry periods in the fall can result in damage to lawns if water is not provided.
