PASTOR'S PEN
Where Did The Joy Go?
Clap your hands, all people! Shout to
loud songs of joy! Psalms 47
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the lands!
Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his pres
ence with singing! Psalms 100
O sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done
marvelous things! Psalm 98
The words of the Psalmist have inspired Christians
thru the ages to praise God thru music and song.
The Psalms and the accounts of the life of the
early Christians were filled with expressions of joy
and celebration, sometimes just because they glori
fied in being children of God. Today few people,
including Christians, seem to communicate this nor
mal happy emotion as part of their church life. It
is possible that some may never have experienced
the joy and delight (not happiness) of being a child
of God (not a church member). They may have been
brought up thinking that only being solemn or stern,
not joy, is the proper attitude for worship.
Where did all the joy go ? Most children experience
and express joyful feelings almost everyday. At some
point in our growing up, did we decide that the
feeling of joy should not be expressed by alduts?
Did we decide not to feel our Christian beliefs, but
only to think and talk about them?
Singing is a part of the expression of our reverence
for God and our faith in him. For the Methodist, who
have always been a singing people, the hymns and
the music, from the soul-lifting strains of a majestic
song of praise to the soft melody of a beautiful pray
er, have always been uppermost in every order of
worship.
We need to rediscover the joy of being a child of
God and find ways to express this beautiful feeling
in our worship services, in our church life even in
our daily lives and in relationships with others.

Anti-Pollution Structure
A small patch of sunlight peeps through one of the
38-story-high cooling towers being built at the Geor
gia Power Company’s new generating plant on the
Etowah River near Cartersville. Construction of this
and two similar towers at Etowah, plus cooling towers
at the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant in South Geor
gia, is part of a continuing program under which
Georgia Power has pledged protection of both air and
water environment at its generating plant sites. Cool
ing towers, although not essential to the production
of electricity, will cool water that has been used to
lower the temperature of steam exhausted from each
generator’s turbine. These towers allow water to be
used over and over again instead of being discharged
into an adjoining river. The Georgia Power Company
plans to spend more than sl9 million to construct
the special towers at the two generating plant sites.

Ga. Forestry
Commission
Gives Report
On Pine Trees
Nahunta, Ga. . . . The bright
orange dust appearing on the
swollen branches and trunks
of loblolly and slash pine trees
are spores, according to H. L.
Neal, Area forester, Georgia
Forestry Commission, Bruns
wick.
The swelling and resulting
spores are symptons of a
disease known as fusiform
rust, Neal said. This disease
infects pine trees of all ages
from seedlings to .mature
trees. Neal emphasizes that
the disease is most severe on
young trees, 1-15 years old.
Older trees generally suffer
only superficial infection of
branches. It has very little ef
fect on longleaf and short
leaf pines.
Neal points out that in the
Spring the swell
ings are cover
ed with blisters that break and
release spores in the foirn of
a bright orange colored pow
der which is carried by the
wind to oak leaves. The rust
fungus must pass through a
stage of growth on the leaves
of various oak species before
it can re-infect pines. Neal
added that the pine cankers
do not directly infect adjacent
pines.
Some of the susceptible
oaks are water, willow, black
jack and laurel.
When establishing planta
tions in high rust hazard a
reas, consideration shouuld be
given to increasing the number
of seedlings planted to com
pensate for later losses and to
minimize infection by natural
pruning of infection branches.
In some areas of the state,
difficulties will arise when ad
justing management practices
to fit patterns of insect and
disease occurrence. If you
should need assistance with
such a situation, call on the
local Forestry Commission
management forester through
your county forest ranger.
When should you defrost
your refrigerator? Miss Nelle
Thrash, home economist with
the Cooperative Extension
Service, says to defrost when
the frost in the unit builds up
to one-half inch thick.

Group Meets
To Improve
Our County
Why is Brantley County e
conomically depressed? Why
has our county not progressed
economically as has other
counties that surround us?
Why does our men and wo
men have to go away daily
to work? Why do most all of
our high school graduates
have to leave the
county to find work?
These are a few of the ques
tions that were asked by an
interested group of citizens at
a meeting in the Brantley
County High School last
Thursday evening. The group
assembled to hear Mr. James
Watson of the University of
Georgia in his series of talks
on community development,
that may lead to improvement
in the economy of our county.
Mr. Watson stated that if
the leaders in the county
wanted to improve conditions
it was possible to do so. If
the people wanted to help
themselves they could. By
pulling together and follow
ing techniques that would be
taught, then the people of
Brantley County could ac
complish whatever they set
out to do.
Mr. Watson stated the
course provides twenty hours
of instruction that usually con
sists of eight weekly meetings
each. The course is directed
toward four major considera
tions;
1. Developing a realistic pic
ture of the dimensions of the
county.
2. Laying out the principles,
techniques, and methods of
community development.
3. Examining major consid
erations from which policies
result.
4. Presenting the procedures
in sound and systematic com
munity development.
Interested parents, clubs,
church groups or other organ
ization and individuals are en
couraged to attend. By or
ganizing ourselves, learning
the principals taught and dedi
cating ourselves to improve
ment we can help our county
and ourselves.
Classes will be conducted
each thrursday night for the
next seven weeks starting at
7:30 P. M. Refreshments will
be served.

Cancer Crusade
Edward Chancey
To Head Cancer
Drive in County
Edward Chancey, Manager
of Chancey’s standard Service
and community leader will
lead Brantley County in the
1970 educational and fund rais
ing crusade of the American
Cancer Society during April
and May. ‘‘We’ll be asking
people in Brantley County to
fight cancer with a check-up
and a check. We’re out to sell
people that it’s what they don’t
know about cancer that can
hurt. We mean to instruct
them in personal ways of pro
tecting themselves against can
cer, he said. When cancer
touches one of every four A
mericans, is it any wonder
that crusade has special mean
ing to people? Hopes for a can
cer cure within this decade are
very good if cancer research
can continue. Already there
is a 15% cure for Leukemia in
children and 1,500,000 Ameri
cans cured of cancer today.
Every dollar given to the A
merican Cancer Society goes
to work in so many ways to
fight this cruel disease through
a three fold program. The A
merican Cancer Society edu
cates the public, keeps the
medical profession informed
on the latest in treatment and
research, provides services to
the cancer patient while
searching for a final solution
to cancer through research.
Five residents of Brantley
County received service dur
ing 1969 under the service pro
gram of the American Can
cer Society. Two are present
ly receiving service. If the
present rate continues a to
tal of 1,375 persons in Brant
ley County will be under
medical treatment for this di
sease. It will strike one of
four persons in two of every
three homes. The following
free services are offered to
cancer patients by the Cancer
Society: Loan of hospital type
beds, wheel chairs, etc., dres
sings and bandages, pain re
lieving drugs (on approval of
Doctor), transportation to and
from clinics for treatment,
special leukemia arresting
drugs for leukemia patients,
special supplies such as colos
tomy bags, etc. The cancer so
ciety also offers educational
films programs and education
al leaflets to clubs, organiza
tion, school and business em
ployees.
Mr. Chancey brings to the
post an energetic commitment
to the fight against this dread
ed disease. His appointment
as chairman of the Erantley
County Cancer Crusade was
announced by Daniel O. Mc-
Cook, State Education Funds
Crusade Chairman of Bruns
wick, Georgia. The fair share
goal for Brantley County is
$1200.00 Let me urge every
Brantley County citizen to
help fight cancer with a check
up and a check that we can
share our part of the bur
den to help finance the pro
grams of the American Can
cer Society. When the final
cure for this disease is per
fected, every resident in
Brantley County will benefit
from the efforts made to sup
port such a worthy cause said
Mr. Chancey.
