Newspaper Page TextVOLUME 48 — NUMBER 18 PASTOR'S PEN Hands appear over 120 times in the Bible and each time they have a useful meaning if we would try to find out and put them to use. WHAT IS THAT IN THINE HANDS? Ex. 4-2 Moses began to make excuses as soon as God called him. Just like we do today. Ask some one to do something in the church and they begin to make excuses. Moses excuse was that he stuttered and could not speak, that he had to run away from home. People tell you they have no talent, no teach ing, they can’t witness for Jesus. Mark 5:19 Says “Go home to thy friends and tell them what great things the Lord hath done for thee.” BEAUTIFUL HANDS Much money is spent yearly on things to keep hands beautiful. But to me hands of service are the most beautiful. I recall visiting a home to see an old lady and ask her how she was feeling she answered “fine except these old hands, I can’t hold things in them because they are losing their strength. The knuckles were twisted and snarled. I remember see ing her so many times when her hands were beauti ful, working in homes where there was sickness her hands were always busy helping others. At a funeral of a mother after* friends had viewed the body the family came by, one daughter lifted the covers from her mothers hand that was all scared, lifted it and kissed it and said, “This is the most beautiful hand in the world, it saved me from burn ing to death and received these scars.” TRUSTING HANDS Zechariah 13:6 “and one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands?” Then he shall answer, “Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friend. He was speaking of Jesus, and he came to his own and his own received him not, but nailed him to the cross. You trust your doctor for surgery and others in time of need, why not trust the Nail Scared Hand. Jesus Said, “Your hand was in his and the Father and no power was able to pluk them out. Place your hand in the Nail Scared Hand, you will stumble make many mistakes but God still holds your hand.” Hickox Home Economics Club Met April 22 The Hickox Home Econom ics Club met April 22nd at the home of Mrs. W.

Last year land own ers installed 14 systems with a total length of 21,400 feet. This year 193 land owners plan to build an additional 386,000 feet of raceways. The idea of “feeding out” catfish in an earthern race way was developed by Paul Schumacher, our SCS biolo gist. Raceways are laid out much like a terrace but with a fall of two feet per hundred. When excavated, they have a 10-foot bottom width with a 1:1 or 2:1 side slope with about 2 to 4 feet of water. A notch ed wall is placed every 100 feet in the raceway. Water flows by gravity from the top of the system throughout all 100-foot segments. The particular advantage of the raceway system is the possibility for very heavy pro duction. Each 100-foot segment has a capacity of one ton of fish annually. Under good pro duction methods we expect to grow only about one ton of fish per acre in ponds and lakes. This means the race way system will theoretically produce 30 times as much fish per equivalent amount of water in ponds and lakes. The 214 100-foot segments have an annual capacity of 214 tons. This annual produc tion potential will rise to 3860 tons after the 3860 segments are built this year. Television Show Set To Feature Georgia Catfish Georgia farmers have cat fish fever. Three years ago there were no catfish being grown for commercial process ing in the state. Today, over 1,000 acres in farm ponds are stocked with channel catfish. The phenomenal growth of this industry and its impact on Georgia’s economy will be the sobject of a half-hour “Georgialand” program tele vised over the Georgia Educa tional Television Network. The program is scheduled for tele cast over all nine ETV stat tions on Monday, May 4, 19- 70, at 7 P. M. James Byford, wildlife spec ialist with the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Service, said the purpose of the program is to give an o verview of the entire catfish industry. The program will depict the entire process of supplying catfish to the con sumer — from hatchery to supermarket. Potential catfish producers may be interested in the re search being conducted on Skidaway Island to find more efficient means of growing catfish. Viewers will be given the opportunity to see the fa cilities of the CPA Goldkist Hatchery and Processing Plant at Quitman. Some experts in the state are saying that Georgia’s cat fish industry is at the stage of development the broiler in dustry was ten or fifteen years ago, and that catfish could soon come to mean as much to the economic welfare of the state as the chicken. ’’Georgialand” is carried si multaneously by the nine sta tion Georgia ETV network. Stations include: WGTV, Channel 8, Athens; WXGA, Channel 8, Waycross; WVAN, Channel 9, Savannah; WJSP, Channel 28, Columbus; WCES, Channel 20, Wrens; WABW, Channel 14, Pelham; WCLP, Channel 18, Chatsworth; WA CS, Channel 25, Dawson, and WDCO, Channel 15, Cochran.

Morrison, assisted employers in this area in filling 2,087 non-farm jobs in 1969. During the year farmers in the area hired through the local office 1,459 workers for farm employment. Statewide non-farm em ployment rose by 61,800 in 1969, the third year of the administration of Commission er of Labor Sam Caldwell. In addition 73,956 farm jobs were filled. The average weekly earn ings of manufacturing work ers in this area at the close of 1969 was $64.42, an in crease of $7.78 per week over the 1968 figure. During 1969, 7,264 unem ployed workers in this a rea were paid $234,940 in job insurance after losing their job through no fault of their own. At present (January, 1970) there are 162 unemployed workers receiving unemploy ment benefits in this area. The Waycross office serv es Brantley, Charlton, Clinch, Pierce, Ware and Wayne Counties. It is located at 809 Elizabeth Street. This information is con tained in the 1969 edition of the department’s Annual Re port, which it was required by law that Commissioner Caldwell present to the Gov ernor and General Assembly the first week in February. Morrison predicted that in the manpower field, the challenge of the Seventies will be to develop our human re sources so that every individ ual, including the mentally and physically handicapped and the disadvantaged, will find a meaningful place in the labor market. To achieve that goal, Mor rison said, the Department will work with individuals, pro viding them with the train ing and skills they need to fit into a job, rather than following the traditional pro cedure of trying to find a job to fit the individual. “The basis for such a pro gram was laid in the Sixties when we developed specialists to work with the minorities, the handicapped, the older workers, the unskilled and others who may have difficul ty finding suitable employ ment,” he added. “The Labor Department will continue its increased emphas is on job training and special assistance to the under-edu cated, unskilled and handicap ped,” he said, “to place them in gainful employment as soon as possible.” Soil and Water Conservation News In Georgia Did you know?
