PASTOR'S PEN
Boys and Girls, are you ready?
Every boy and girl ought to be prepared for such e
mergencies as giving first aid when someone is ac
cidentally cut or bruised or has bones broken, to
save persons from drowning, how to start a seem
ingly drowned person breathing again, and what to
do when a fire breaks out. Boy Scouts and Girl
Scout learn what to do in such cases, so should ev
eryone else.
But there will be other emergencies for which you
have had no special training, how will you meet
them? Well, that depends on how you have trained
yourself to look ahead, to keep cool, to be brave,
thoughtful, unselfish, and practical. Here is a story
which may help you understand what I mean. It is
a Bible story.
One day about 5000 people followed Jesus away
out into a lonely deserted place where there were no
houses and no one from whom they could buy any
thing to eat. They were following Jesus because he
had healed many sick people whom the doctors
could not help. They wete deeply interested also in
what Jesus was telling them about God, the heaven
ly Father, and his love for everyone. About noon
they began to get hungry, but they had not brought
any lunch with them, and there was no one from
whom they could buy food. There was only one per
son, a boy, who had lunch with him. He had looked
ahead, he was prepared. Not only that, he was un
selfish, because he told Andrew, one of Jesus’ dis
ciples, that he was ready to share his lunch with
others. He had five loaves and two small fishes. Jesus
blessed the boy’s lunch, multiplied it, and made out
of it a good meal for everyone there, 5000. And after
all had enough to eat, there were left over twelve
baskets full. This was a miracle, but the boy, who was
prepared, helped Jesus. It was the boy’s lunch which
Jesus used in the miracle that made so much differ
ence that day. So you see, boys and girls, if you are
willing to share what you have, then you never know
what good will come of it. It might even affect
your life, not only here, but in the hereafter.

January as compared to 606 in
December, Russell H. James,

USDA’s Food and Nutrition
Service, reports.
At the same time, James re
vealed that the number of
people in Georgia on USDA
food programs was up to 2 -
066 in January over the pervi
ous month. In January there
were 361,761 receiving aid as
compared to 359,695 in Decem

Fishing Census
Begun On
Satilla River
The Fisheries Division of the
State Game and Fish Commis
sion has begun a creel census
on the Satilla River this
month. Fishermen on the Sa
tilla will be interviewed by
Game and Fish Creel Clerk,
Mr. Curits Allen, to determine
both the numbers and species
of fish taken while fishing.
■
The census will cover about
130 miles of the river and will
be in effect throughout the
year until Decembr. Fisheries
Biologists at the Waycross of
fice hope to gather extensive
information about the sport
fishery in the Satilla and would
appreciate the cooperation of
the public. This and other
phases of the Satilla River
Project will ultimately result
in a better knowledge of our
fishing resources in the area.
Also the creel census on the
Suwannee Rver and at Steph
en C. Foster Park, Fargo, Ga.,
has begun again and will be in
effect until December.
THAT AIN’T HAY
The U. S. crop that uses
more farm acreage than any
other is neither wheat, corn
nor soybeans. It’s hay. Har
vested acreage came to about
62 million in 1969. Hay also
ranks high on the value list—
about $3 billion worth annual
ly, second only to corn. In
Georgia, hay was a $26 mil
lion crop last year and ranked
No. 6 in value among all crops
grown in the state.

Almost 60 million genetical
