VOLUME 48 - NUMBER 43
PASTOR'S PEN
When you say time marches on, young people
doubt it, But older people are sure of it. There is a
Latin saying, if 1 can remember it right, “Tempus
fugit” or time flies. Some one trying to be funny said
it this way “Tempus sure does fugus.” It all depends
an how you look at it at the time.
Our Lords life moved swiftly; there was so much
to do and so little time in which to do it. Yet Jesus
counseled everyone to be patient and to be calm. He
never did anything in a hurry, but he never postpon
ed doing what needed to be done. In our Revised
Standard Version of the Bible, it says that the old
translation which says (In your patience possess ye
your souls) Luke 21:19. In the King James Version
it reads “By your endurance you will gain your lives.”
Once in a while when I am tempted to rush things,
I remember a fable that I heardwhen I was young.
There were three turtles who went on a picnic. They
packed their lunches and finally arrived at the river.
Before they began eating, it started to rain. They de
cided that one of the turtles should go back after an
umbrella. The smallest turtle agreed to go if the other
would promise not to eat the lunch while he was gone.
The two turtles promised to wait for him, so he went.
They waited a day, a week, a month, a year and fin
ally two years had gone by. They got tired of wait
ing and one turtle said to the other, “He’s not com
ing back, let’s go ahead and eat the sandwiches.”
Just then the little turtle stuck his head out from be
hind a nearby rock and said, “I figured you wouldn’t
wait, so I watched you for a while, if you are going
to eat the sandwiches, I won’t go.”
Time? What is time? God promises that — as your
days so shall your strength be. (Deuteronomy 33 :25.)
Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise
men and women, but as wise, making the most of the
time. Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow,
for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day’s
own trouble be sufficient for itself. You will find this
in Matthew 6.

Beware Last-Minute Smears,
Jimmy Carter Warnes Workers
In a letter to his county
chairmen, gubernatorial candi
date Jimmy Carter has warn
ed workers of a last-ditch
smear campaign.
“You can shortly expect to
encounter vicious personal at
tacks and rumors against my
family and me,” Carter wrote.
“Tell your people to be pre
pared.”
Warning that “we are fac
ing the whole Washington es
tablishment,” Carter wrote:
“The GOP nationwide pat
tern has been to pick an
unknown personality, try to
establish him as a viable can
didate and then, in the last
days of the campaign, to let
loose a flood of personal
smear against his opponent.”
Carter added that “the At
lanta power structure is try
ing to drive a wedge be
tween Gov. Maddox and me.”

WINTER MULCH
Everybody knows the value
of mulching in summer. Like
keeping the soil cooler, con
trolling weeds and conserving
moisture. But wintertime
mulches are important, too.
They prevent freezing and
thawing. And this, in turn,
prevents “heaving” or raising
plants above the normal soil
level.

Brantley Edges
Clinch County
By Gene Wiley
You would have thought the
Fourth of July or Flag Day
was being celebrated in Clinch
County last Friday night as
Brantley County barely man
aged to defeat Clinch 8-7 in a
hard fought contest. The Her
ons were continually being
put in the hole by penalties. A
total of 13 penalties, 8 against
the Herons, were enforced
and several denied. Some out
standing offensive Heron plays
were nullified. One such play
was a pass from Paul Lang
ford to Larry Lane that went
for a 52 yard touchdown, but
a flag was flying back down
field. Despite the flags, Brant
ley County put up a good
fight and brought home an
other Region 2-B victory,
making their region record 3-
1 and over all record 5-2.
Rayford Blue received the
opening kick for Brantley on
the Heron 10 yard line and re
turned it 28 yards, but a clip
ping penalty brought the ball
back to the 20 yard line where
action began. The Herons
moved 28 yards before being
stopped and were forced to
punt. The snap from center
was high and Larry Johnson
was forced to chase it back to
the 10 yard line where he
barely managed to punt the
ball back to the Brantley 40
yard line and Clinch took o
ver in good position. On the
eighth play Mike Strickland
pushed over a touchdown from
the 1 yard line and Tim Dell
kicked the PAT to put Clinch
ahead 7-0 with 4:18 remaining
in the first quarter.
The game then seemed to set
tle down to a punting game
with neither team generating
any offensive steam as the de
fensive units and flags pre
vented most forward move
ment. The Heron offensive u
nit got the ball with 2:45 re
maining in the second quarter
tect our decent
citizens.”
Carter restated his intention,
as governor, to accompany ad
equately armed troops should
a serious emergency arise.
Carter said that Atlanta has
become “the drug capital of
the Southeast.” Such a situa
tion, he said, is “a pushover
for organized crime.”
and on the first play they
sprang Larry Lane loose at
their own 32 yard line. Larry
displayed some fancy foot
work and speed as he outran
two defenders 68 yards into
the end zone. Trailing 6-7, the
Herons went for a two point
conversion with Larry John
son passing to Benjie Walker.
Benjie bobbled the ball and
pulled it safely into his arms
and the Herons moved ahead
to stay 8-7. The first half end
ed as the Herons had the ball
on their own 48 yard line.
Marshall Edgy opened the
second half with a booming
kick into the Clinch end zone
and the ball was brought out
to the Clinch 20 yard line
where second half action be
gan. The Heron defense gave
up only 6 yards and force the
Panthers to punt. The Herons
then took the ball on the
Brantley 41 yard line and on
the third play Paul Langford
hit Larry Lane with a pass
and Larry raced 52 yards in
to the end zone only to have
the play nullified as the offi
cials called an ineligible re
ceiver downfield. Unable to
make the first down Brantley
was forced to punt.
The Brantley defense didn’t
allow the Panthers to move
as Leon Able intercepted a
pass and ran it back 11 yards
to the Clinch 29 yard line. The
offensive unit moved only
short yardage and was forced
to give up the ball on downs.
The defensive unit again rose
to the occasion and stopped
the Panthers, but the Herons
were unable to move again
when they got the ball, but
Clinch fumbled the punt and
Leon Able laid claim to the
ball for the Herons on the
Clinch 36 yard line. The Her
ons were again unable to take
advantage of the situation.
The last series of plays saw
the Herons make their longest
drive of the second half as
they moved from the 50 yard
line to the Clinch 23 yard line
as the horn sounded to end the
game. The Herons had won
the game 8-7.
The offensive standout was
Larry Lane with 124 yards.
Sharing in the total yardage
was Leon Able, Marshall
Rainge, and Larry Johnson.
Paul Langford completed one
pass to Leon Able for 16 yards.
Other offensive starters in
cluded Benjie Walker, Jerol
Drawdy. Thomas Herrin, Hen
ry Strickland, Charles Lewis,
Clayton Edgy, Jerry Crews,
and Martin Brooker. Rayford
Blue and Henry Strickland re
ceived minor injuries.
Standouts on defense were
Paul Langford, Jerry Crews,
and Clayton Edgy with five
tackles each. Leon Able .made
one interception and one fum
ble recovery. Other defenders
contributing tackles were Tho
mas Herrin, Rayford Blue, Ar
chie White, Leon Able, Henry
Strickland, Benjie Walker,
Larry Johnson. Marshall Edgy,.
Martin Brooker, Marshall
Rainge, Curtis Rainge, and
several gang tackles.
The Herons totaled 193
yards to 130 for Clinch. Both
teams had 6 first downs. The
Herons had 8 penalties for
60 yards and Clinch had 5 for
45 yards. Brantley had 2 for
5 passes and Clinch had no
completions for 2 attempts
with 1 interception.
The Herons under Coach
Culbreth take oh Charlton
County, another region foe, at
home this Friday night at 8:-
00 P. M. This will be our last
region contest of this regular
season. At present Blackshear
leads the region with a 3-0
region record and must yet
play Patterson and Clinch
County.
GARDEN SEED
Do you save your own gar
den seed for planting the
next year? It’s not such a good
idea. In fact, better gardeners
never do it. They know that
.many vegetable diseases are
brought into the garden on the
seed—saved over from last
year. So they make every ef
fort to use only western-grown
treated seed
law-abiding
