Newspaper Page TextVOLUME 48 - NUMBER 34 PASTOR'S PEN GOD MADE THE WAY And God looked upon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, the end of flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with vio lence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Genesis 6:12-13 Man, in that day, had failed God; sin had erupted from the lives of good people. God had said, prior to this, “My spirit will not always strive with man.” So after God had pleaded with His sons and daugh ters upon the earth, He became grieved: And God saw that the wickedness of man was great and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. (Genesis 6:5-6) Through Noah, the word of God was fulfilled. He built an ark, the flood came and destroyed all ex cept Noah and his family, and God started over with those whom he saw fit to save. God then made a cov enant with man — He would never destroy the world with water again. Despite God’s abundant love and mercy toward his people, mankind again, in human nature, failed God. Then God, in his passion for man, sought a way to save him. Abraham, desiring to do the will of God, was willing to offer his son, Isaac, as a sacri fice. God spoke to hime and promised to provide the sacrifice, and Isaac was spared. From then on, we find, in many places in the Bible, promises of a savior who would come to give peace on earth and good will to men. This seemed impossible to some, God sending his son, Jesus, to complete a plan of salvation, a gift that only He could give. This plan of salvation is for all who will come unto repentance of sin in their life. Salvation is free to all who want to sacrifice their selfish, lustful ways and start anew. The Holy Spir it is always near to guide and comfort. Remember: All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23) All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way. (Isaiah 53:6) Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (John 3:3) My friend, if you are lost, you cannot save your self. The Bible says: By the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. (Galatians 2:16) For whoso ever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. (James 2:10) Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us. (Titus 3:5) Jesus can save us; For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlast ing life. (John 3 :16) Who (Jesus) His own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: By whose stripes ye were healed. (1 Peter 2:24) Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved. (Acts 16:31) Tommy Irvin Criticizes Flue-Cured Tobacco Marketing Committee Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture Tommy Irvin Monday critized the 35 man in dustry-wide flue cured tobac co marketing committee for designating only eight sets of buyers for Georgia tobacco markets next week and the following week — the sth and 6th weeks of the tobacco sell ing season. Irvin said in his opinion the committee was showing par tiality to the Carolina and Vir ginia markets as to the num ber of buyers as well as to selling time on those markets. The Commissioner com mended Georgia warehouse men for their efforts in work ing with him to keep at least 16 sets of buyers in Georgia to get additional selling time this week, and for their efforts to fairly designate those markets to remain open after this week. Last year, according to Ir vin, there were 90 sets of buy ers operating at one time in the Virginia and Carolina belts and if his request for 16 sets of buyers had been granted for Georgia these next two weeks, there would still be on- J. Doyle Deal, Pastor Satilla Baptist Church ly 83 sets of buyers operating in all belts, including Geor gia. Irvin estimated there would be from 20 to 25 million pounds of Georgia tobacco still to be sold after Friday and he hopes additional sell ticne will be granted this week. “In all other belts,” Irvin said, “ the markets are allow ed to close when the tobacco is all sold. This is not fair to Georgia growers and the allo cation of only eight sets of buyers to Georgia will work a hardship on both Georgia far mers and tobacco warehouse men.” The Georgia warehousemen association met Saturday and set up a rotation system des ignating which markets will remain open this and the fol lowing three years in anticipa tion of a limited number of buyers for the latter part of the selling season each year. The eight markets designa ted by the warehousemen’s as sociation Saturday were Bax ley, Blackshear, Vidalia, Met ter, Nashville, Tifton, Pelham and Valdosta.

OPPONENT Health Department Activates 2-Step Program Against Drug Abuse The Georgia Department of Public Health has taken two big steps forward in the state’s battle against drug a buse, according to information released in Atlanta by state mental health director Dr. Ad dison M. Duval. The first move described by Dr. Duval is the opening of a 29-bed “cottage” at the Geor gia Mental Health Institute (G.M.H.1.) in Atlanta for the treatment of drug abuse pa tients. The health official said, “Opening the cottage — primarily for outpatients— carries out the wishes of the State Board of Health, who at their June meeting called for a ‘crash program’ against drug abuse.” Better utilization of the G. M.H.I. facility was specifically mentioned in the Health Board’s request for action, said Dr. Duval. He added that a companion move — also cen tered at the Mental Health In stitute — is the installation of a “drub info line” telephone, which will be manned 24 hours a day to offer around-the-clock in drug related cases. Dr. Duval — who is a psy chiatrist — said that the state’s drug treatment program would now be centered in the G.M. H.I. Georgian Clinic Division. Dr. Helen Denham, who is a psychiatrist, is director of the Georgian Clinic program which for years has received international acclaim for de veloping techniques in the treatment of alcoholics. Other statewide treatment programs are underway at state regional hospitals (Atlanta and Augus ta), at other institutions, in cluding Central State Hospi tal, and in local health depart ment clinics, according to Dr. Duval. Dr. Denham stresses that the drug program at G.M.H.I. will be “experimental and non structured.” She says that “too few positive facts are known about drug users — particular ly the young ones —for us to open a rigidly planned clin ic.” She added, “We will open with an attitude of flexibility and gradually evolve a pro gram adapted to our patients’ needs.” PLACE Chaplain David Moylan, who has been working with Atlanta’s drug problem since early 1969, will assist Dr. Den ham and serve as the pro gram’s training coordinator. According to Dr. Denham, OFFICIAL ORGAN BRANTLEY COUNTY AND CITY OF NAHUNTA both she and Chaplain Moylan strongly advocate the use of former addicts — carefully screened and with special training —- as therapists in the treatment of drug abuse cases. “We have requests in now to the State Merit System for the creation of special work classifications to enable us to employ ex-addicts,” explained Dr. Denham. As outlined by Dr. Denham, the new program — housed in G.M.H.I.’s Cottage One — will offer a “continuous, open-door clinic.” The potential patient can come in at his conven ience, she says, and join an in quiry group to find out what can be done about his prob lem. Here, says Dr. Denham an important question must be answered, “What is the pa tient’s motivation?” The British-born psychia trist stresses that the new clin ic cannot serve as a hospital. “Rehabilitation is really our business,” she emphasizes, not crisis intervention. “Patients requiring acute de toxification are referred to other facilities such as Grady Memorial Hospital for immed iate .medical care,” Dr. Den ham explained. “They would then come to our unit for long term rehabilitation.” The installation of the 24- hour “drug info line” tele phone has just been completed, according to Dr. Denham, and is not yet ready for more then limited usage. “It will not be a ‘hot line’ for a person on an LSD trip or for a potential su icide,” the state official ex plains. “It will, however, be an open line to provide a point of contact for informa tion and will also direct callers to treatment sources, includ ing ours,“ says Dr. Denham. “Much of the drug problem to day results from widespread misinformation.” ON ADVERTISING Ah, advertising! Miss Lora Laine, home management spec ialist with the Cooperative Extension Service, tells con sumers that “advertising is an integral part of our daily fare. Without it we would be at a loss in shopping in our com plex world.” Miss Laine says advertising tells us who seils what and where. It also des cribes or pictures the item and tells us how much it costs. And furthermore, it introduces new merchandise on the markets. Blue Angels To Appear At Glynco One of the largest public air shows in Southeast Georgia history will take place on Au gust 22 at the Glynco Naval Air Station when both the Blue Angels Flight Demonstra tion Team and the Chuting Stars Sport Parachute Team perform beginning at 1 p. m. An open house at the air sta tion begins at 10 a. m„ featur ing aircraft displays and ex hibits. Ample parking spaces are available and parking ar rangements have been made for school and organizational bus groups. The Blue Angels, officially known as the U. S. Navy Flight Demonstration Team, have for 24 years thrilled millions of spectators with spectacular demonstrations of precision aerobatic and forma tion flying. The maneuvers, taught individually to every naval aviator during flight training, are exhibited to per fection when flown by the skillful Blue Angels in their Mach 2 Phantoms. The show, as it is seen today, has devel oped through the years as new techniques have evolved and higher performance aircraft have been introduced. Transition to the F4J Phan tom occurred before the 1969 season. Last year more than five million persons in the continental United States, A laska, Canada and the Baha as Islands watched the team perform in their new Phan toms. Many new maneuvers il lustrating the performance ca pabilities of the F 4 were add ed to the 1969 demonstration and continued this season. The precision maneuvers demonstrated by the 1970 Blue Angels are coordinated and continuous tactical techniques developed in practice and ac tual combat by Navy and Ma rine pilots. In carrying out this demonstration mission with the Phantoms, the “Blues” also exhibit the high-performance capability of the latest ser vice fighter aircraft as well as the high level of training and skill characteristic of naval a viators. The Chuting Stars team is made up mostly of Navy in structors who teach the art of packing and maintaining Navy parachute systems. They also train Underwater Demolition Teams, Sea, Air and Land (SEAL) personnel and other combat-bound jumpers. During the parachuting sea son, April through November, team members perform intri cate exhibition routines in shows throughout the United States and compete in jumps sponsored by the Mid-Eastern Parachute Association (MEP- A). The aerobatic maneuvers featured at the Glynco air show will be determined by weather conditions at show time. During long free falls, the jumpers include manue vers showing the ability of the parachutists to soar across the sky as well as fall. Low ceilings prevent long falls, so accurate target landings are featured. Dem. Control Will Return To People Former State Sen. Jimmy Carter repeated Wednesday his often-stated vow to “re turn control of the Georgia Democratic Party to Georgia Democrats.” Carter spoke Wednesday (August 12) morning to the DeKalb Democratic Break fast Club. The gubernatorial candidate said that under his adminis tration every Georgia Demo crat will have a voice in elec ting delegates to the National Convention. Under proper leadership, Carter said, “our party will be an organization through which unselfish citizens can enter public service, never a gain to be used for the per sonal benefits of its leaders.”
