Newspaper Page Textacquisitions division UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA ATHENS, GA. 30601 VOLUME 49 - NUMBER 23 PASTOR'S PEN If God be tor us, who can be against us? womans 8:31 In the eighth chapter of Romans, Paul shows us Christians how God is for us. What a marvelous discourse this is on the bless ingsandprivileges of the person in Christ! In the first place God is for us electively in the purpose of His grace (vv. 28-30). God had always been on the side of the Christian. He did not begin to bestew His favors at birth, or even at the time of the new birth. Before we were born, or the world was created, God set His love upon us. "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son" (v. 29). What loving favor this is-that we should be exactly like His matchless Son. What ever my present unsatisfactory experiences maybe, someday I shall be altogether like the One who has redeemed me. In what more glorious way could God be for me or you? In the second place, God is for us ef ficaciously in the Cross of His Son. That God might carry out His predestined pur poses for Christians, He sent Christ, in the fullness of time, to purchase our salvation. Surely the Cross is the supreme proof that God is for us, "He spared not His own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?" (v. 32). Would God give us His dear Son in shameful sacrificial death and then hold back the les ser things of life? Impossible! He is for us in all things. In the third place, God is for us encourag ingly in His providential care. Not merely when we are saved or in life's emergencies is God with us. Every moment of every day He cares, and His sovereign grace is work ing for us. "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God" (v. 28). This is the final word in God being for us. Finally, God is for us eternally in the fellowship of His Son. God was for us be fore time began; He is for us now; and He will be for us when time is no more. Noth ing-not even death-"shall be able to sepa rate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (w. 35-39). This means eternal fellowship with Jesus. Then we will know, as we never have known, how God is for us. Hallelujah for such a God and Saviour!

DEAN FLIES INTEREST PETITION IN SOLD BY WAYNE COUNTY CITIZENS SUPERIOR COURT > State Senator Roscoe Dean Jr., through his attorneys, has filed a petition in the Wayne County Superior Court de manding an immediate and speedy jury trial. Senator Dean was arrested last April 21 on a charge of driving under the influence. Dean was indicted by the Wayne County Grand Jury on April 22 and again on May 6 after the original indictment was thrown out because of a technicality. "Since I was first indicted the May and June terms of court have passed and the District Attorney’s Office has refused to bring my case to trial. Under Georgia law, the dis trict attorney is the only one who can prepare the criminal court dockets. "Now I have filed a petition with the court demanding an immediate jury trial. I am asking that I be granted justice with the same speed that it took the grand jury to indict me. "It appears that the District Attorney's Office and the Sheriffs Department do not want my case to come to trial at all. I have nothing to hide and I am not going to allow them to hold a political blackjack over my head by not trying me, " Dean said. The sixth district senator said he did not want his case to re main undisposed of, but that he wanted it to be tried and "let the chips fall where they may". "Itseemsto me", Dean said, "that if the grand jury can in dict me on two different oc casions within days, on the same charge, then I am en titled to a jury trial with the same haste that they saw fit to return the indictments. " According to the Wayne County Superior Court record;, never before has a DUI case been tried in the Wayne Superior Court. The records also show that no previous grand jury has indicted a per son accused of driving under the influence prior to DeanS case. 3 BRANTLEY TEACHERS RETIRE THE BRANTIEY ENTERPRISE, NAHUNTA, GEORGIA, JULY 8, 1971 BANK Mr. L.

TO R. LEROY HAM, S. K. ALIEN, WILADEAN WALKER, & MERCEDESE DOWLING DR. MARCUS BRYANT TO CONDUCT SERVICES In a letter to the BRANTLEY ENTERPRISE, Dr. E. Marcus Bryant, Blackshear, Ga., in dicated that there will be held a worship service at the Atkin son Community Church Sunday, July 10th, at 3 o’clock p.m. Dr. Bryant began his ministry at an early age and has served as pastor and evangelist in var ious capacities of the church. He has a Doctorate in Theology and Ph. D. in Psychology. Dr. Bryant stated that "there has been a great deal of interest developed in the prospect of re activating and establishing a £1 IjkT'O O C 3 I A Tk ATLANTA (PRN) - And what do you suppose was one of the most highlighted topics of workshop sessions at the Outdoor Writers Association of America conference held last week in Pensacola, Florida? If you guessed environmental issues, you’re dead right. If ever anyone is concerned about these issues, it is the outdoor writer. If you’ll think about it carefully, you may recall that conservation agencies and outdoor writers have been trying for years to get the public to pay attention to the need for better care of our environment Well, at last, ‘most everyone in interested. And when you have the attention of the public, you can’t just simply relax and let things happen. For that reason, the outdoor writers spent a good deal of time looking at environmental issues, and how they could best present them to their readers. Not too many years ago, most of the conference was spent on teaching basic writing, broadcasting and photographic techniques peculiar to outdoor writing. The Association is becoming more and more professional each year, however, and in order to qualify for membership these days, a person has to be fairly well accomplished in these basic skills. For that reason, OWAA members are looking more seriously at bigger and deeper topics, especially looking at the shape the world is in, and how to convey the need for conservation and wise management of our resources, to the public. The first speaker on the program reflected the deep interest of OWAA in this area. He is William D. Ruckelshaus, head of the federal Environmental Protection Agency. It is not easy to obtain speakers of this stature. What he had to say was something I wish everyone could hear. For that reason, next week's column will be good church in the Atkinson Community. All interested are encouraged to attend service and hea to attend the service and hear Dr. Marcus Bryant speak. Veterans Hit High The number of American vet erans hit a high of 28.2 million this month, the Veterans Ad ministration announced today. The VA said the number of living veterans is likely to con tinue to increase in the foresee able future since the military discharge rate has been running over 80,000 a month and older veterans have been dying at a rate of about 26,000 a month. Os VA’s 28.2 million veter ans, some 25.1 million served during a wartime period and an additional 3.1 million served after the Korean conflict and before the Vietnam Era-Feb. 1, 1955 to Aug. 4, 1964 inclusive. BY DEAN WOHLGEMUTH GEORGIA GAME AND FISH COMMISSION Outdoor Writers Study Environment Problems devoted to his comments. He and other speakers discussed “The Fight For Our Environment” for the first session of the conference. And the next day, the subject remained much the same, as we listened to several speakers on “Some Problems of our Times,” which again dealt with public feelings toward conservation and the problems of environmental destruction. And even farther into the week, on Thursday, much time was given to “Survival in a Civilized Society.” Now, that topic may sound rather dull, and may even have sounded a bit strange for outdoor writers. You might think they’d worry more about survival in the wilds, than on main street. And you may wonder how all this ties in with what I’ve said about studying environmental problems. Well, now, civilization and urban living are the environment in which we live. The pressures of this environment drive man to the environment of the wildlife. And the expansion and “progress” of our civilization encroaches upon the wildlife’s world. Not only that, we face perils in our civilization, including water and air pollution to be sure. Further, we live soft lives, and when we go afield we may find our bodies are not physically up to the strain we put on them. It all boils down to the fact that the focus of national attention is now upon the outdoor writer and what he says. He has a mighty important job to do these days. No longer is he simply a man who writes only about the good times to be had by going hunting and fishing. Today he must write in a far more serious vein, or there will be no hunting and no fishing...and perhaps no people. The outdoor writer has greatly increased in stature in our society. It’s time we listened more closely to what he has to say. OFFICIAL ORGAN BRANTLEY COUNTY AND CITY OF NAHUNTA MISSES PAT DOWLING & KA YE CHAMBLESS, (L. TOR.)

Loyd County Agent ISULAU INC.W ANIMALS Isolation of newly acquired animals is an often overlook ed practice on our livestock farms. Yet it is a simple, basic and traditional step to ward preventing diseases. Our Extension animal scien tists point out that isolation facilities don't have to be elaborate. They do need to be constructed so no contact or contamination with other hogs is possible. And isolation facilities should be easy and disinfect after each use. How long to isolate? Boars and gilts--even feeder pigs — should be quarantined 30 to 60 days before they are mixed with the rest of the herd. Dur ing isolation the new additions will become accustomed to their new surroundings, rou tines and feed. Very frequently boars are purchased, brought home and immediately pressed into ser vice. The stresses of moving and the new surroundings low er the boar's resistance to dis ease. An isolation period helps avoid these abrupt changes and adjustments. Isolation is a simple, basic and traditional practice. Too often, it is overlooked. CULTIVATE SHRUBS? There is no real advantage to cultivating the soil around shrubs. In fact, digging around established ornamentals such as azaleas, camelliasand hol lies can severly injure the root system. Many of the roots of these plants are located with in a few inches of the soil sur face. Gerald Smith, one of our Ex tension horticulturists, ex - plains that some fardeners "work in" fertilizers around their shrubs. He goes on to say that this practice is not ne cessary, as most fertilizers are water soluble. In other situations the soil around shrubs is disturbed in an effort to eradicate Bermuda or other noxious grasses. Smith says a more satisfactory ap proach is to place a sheet of polyethylene plastic on the ground underneath the plant. Cut the plastic into a round shape, then make a cut to the center. This way the plastic fits right up to the trunk of the shrub. Now cover the plastic with an attractive mulch such as pine straw. The pine straw and plastic can be left around the shrub from now on. july btn, at the Charley Harris Sandwich Shop. Cobell John son of Waynesville reportedly went to the Brantley County Jail and turned himself in after the incident. According to Johns, Johnson still had in his possession a butcher knife that was about 8 inches long. Cobell Johnson has been char ged inwarrentswithmurder and vith ass ualt with intent to mur der. He is being held in jau in lieu of $25,000 bond on the murder warrent and $5,000 bond on the assualt warrent. By Virginia N. Raulerson Co. Extension Home Economist BUILT-IN BOARD ROOM A favorite built-in of the thirties and forties is making a comeback. Almost every house built in those days had a built-in ironing board in the kitchen or the hall nook. Many houses of today have a utility room where the ironing board is logically located. Unfortunately, however, when planned by a person who does not have to iron or who has not thought through the job, it may be very inconven ient or even completely un usuable. The recommended amount of space for ironing is 4 feet 4 inches by 6 feet. An iron ing board is about 4 1/2 feet long and 16 inches wide. There should be a minimum space of 18 inches at the small end of the board, 30 inches on the standing side and 6 inches on the opposite side to allow the already iron ed portion to hang. Care must be taken when planning the installation of a built-in board to have the standing side right for the per son who is to be ironing. Remembering the iron always goes toward the small end of the board, it must be placed correctly for either a right or left-handed use. So many times a board is shown on a plan in such a location that it would be impossible for a right-handed person to use. To make a check, look at the plan this way. For a right handed ironer, hold the plan so the built-in board is shown to your right. This means that when opened the small end of the board will be at your left. Thirty inches of stand ing room should then located in the area nearest you. For a left-handed person turn the plan so the board is shown to your left with the small end of the board to your right. Standing space will again be nearest you. It is possible to buy a built in board that swings a few inches to give more room for standing and using it. Regard less of the type, be sure to plan its location so you can reap the benefits of having it. Did you know that 50% of all married people are women?
