A Voice in the Wilderness
PIGS OR POLICEMEN
Law enforcement officers have nationally
become people to be rediculed, called pigs
hogs, the man, john, or anything deroger
atory by come of the young or anti-estab
lishment crowd while we, the supposedly
solid citizens, or establishment look on with
an occaisional frown or dissapproving stare
as the radicals "do their thing." We do not
tend to support or encourage, or praise our
law enforcement officers and we do tend to
take them for granted until they are need
ed .
When I called on our law enforcement off
icers for assistance Tuesday night getting
my son Jamie, to the hospital I never once
wondered, would they help? My son was
severlyhurt it was imperitive that he be
rushed to the hospital. I asked for help and
without question, without hesitation and cer
tainly without expectation of thanks they as s -
istedmetothe door of the emergency room
of the hospital.
I have nothing but praise for law enforce
ment officers in general and especially for
Mack Crews of the City of Nahunta and the
officer of the Wayne County Sheriff's Dept.,
whoever he may by and the other county's
law officers who helped me.
I willpersonally contactall the law officers
who assisted me in getting my critically in
jured son to the hospital. Iwill assure them
that I will notbe guilty of name calling, that
Iwill hasten to their defense, that I will be
evermindful of assisting them in any way
possible, and as rapidly as they helped me.
Let's all getbehind and support our law en
forcementofficials. Let's tell them we app
reciate them and let's do it before we need
them.
Hubert Colvin of Hoboken submitted the
above pumpkin as his record for the year.
The pumpkin weighed 84 pounds and was 62
inches in circumference.
To grow large pumpkins, Colvin stated that
"water and compote are required." He add
ed that growing pumpkins are like tobacco,
they need plenty of water but not too much.

offices "will enable the Con
sumer and Marketing Service
to have an even closer re
lationship with state officials
who administer inspection
programs and will offer meat
and poultry industry-men a
closer point of contact for
fulfillingtheirrolein the in
spection process."
Other area officeswhich will
be established under the
Southeast Regional Meat and
Poultry Inspection Office and
the states for which they will
be responsible are as follows:

The Consumer and Market
ing Service will establish an
area office for the supervis
ion of federal meat and poul
try inspection in Georgia at
Athens. Plans are for the of
fice to open in August.
In addition to supersiving
federal inspection in pack
ing and processing plants, the
Athens office will maintain
surveillance over Georgia's
meat inspection program pro
gram which has been certi
fied by USDA as equal to
federal.
The Athens area office is
part of a network of area of
fices that has been called a
"decentralization effort that
will move decision-making

Large Illegal
Kill Revealed
In Georgia
A survey conducted by Geor
gia Game and Fish Commis
sion biologists indicates that
as many as 6,875 deer, 1,011
turkeys and 57 bear may have
been killed Illegally last year.
According to Director Joe D.
Tanner, This surveyindicates
that as many as 21.8 percent
of all deer taken by hunters
duringthe 1970-71 season were
illegally killed. He said that
the survey revealed that 60
percent of all bears tnken and
77 percent of all turkeys bag
ged were also illegally killed.
The survey indicated a legal
statewide harvest of 24, 648
deer, 673 turkeys and 17 bears.
Data for this report were ob
tained from questionaires sent
to game biologists and wildlife
rangers.
"The average hunter spends
about S4OO for each deer that
he bags." Tanner said. "That
means those illegally-killed
deer cost some $2,750,000 to
the state’s economy. We plan
to strengthen game law en
forcement by hiring 21 addi
tional rangers across the state.
The additional revenue sup
plied by the recent license will
enable the Department to hire
these men and to initiate a
training program for all our
law enforcement personnel."
Tanner quoted Wildlife Man
agement Chief Hubert Handy
who said, "The poacher robs
the sportsman. He kills deer
indiscriminately, not just
bucks but pregenant does and
fawns are victims of his illegal
hunting. The night hunter is
likely to wound a deer be
cause of poor light and anxiety
that he will be caught. The
wounded deer then dies a slow
death and is left to rot in the
woods.
"Hunting at night or during
the closed season when the
fawns are usually bom can
completely eliminate a deer
herd." Handy continued.
"Deer are not afraid of light,
so using one could be consider
ed to be taking advantage of the
deer's weakest flaw. It is not
sporting.
"If we could completely el
iminate poaching, deer would
be much more abundant than
they are now," Handy said.
"We could have longer deer
seasons and larger bag limits.
Instead of two deer per year,
the hunter would be able to
take three or maybe even five
deer per season. More either
sexhunting would be allowed,
increasing the hunter's chances
of success.
"If sportsmen in an area will
not tolerate such violations
they will decease sharply,"
Handy continued. "If the po
tential violator knows that his
neighbor will report his act
ivities, he is less likely to do
wrong. Stiff fines handed out
by local judges also discourage
poaching. To some degree,
fines can be influenced by lo-
cal opinion.
"Bear hunting in Georgia has
been prohibited, largely be
cause of illegal hinting,"
Handysaid. "When 60% of the
annual kill of any species is
taken illegally, that species is
in trouble. If this activity
could be eliminated, we would
have more bear in Georgia and
could probably have good hunt
ing for this species. Turkey
hunting is Georgia is allowed
only in limited portions of the
state, but how can you ex
pect to have good turkey
hunting when 77 percent of the
total kill is taken illegally?
"Whatwe need," Handy con
cluded, "is good law enforce
ment, recognition of game law
violation as a serious offence
and cooperation of the sports
men and civil authorities.
Changes In
Farm Program
Regulations
A change in government re
gulations broadening eligibil
ityrules for fam commodities
under government loan has
been cited as one more step to
ward improved farm income.
"It’s another change in line
with the policy of adding to the
freedom of farmers to handle
their farm operations as they
think best and compete more
effectively in the market
place, "said Alpha A. Fowler,
Georgia farm program official.
"To start with, the Agricul
tural Act of 1970 provided more
options to farmers in the vol
untary wheat, feed grain, and
cotton programs. Since then,
manyU.S. Department of Ag
ricultureregulationshave been
broadened, also giving farmers
more options," Fowler said.
Mr. Fowler is Chairman of the
Georgia Agriculture and Sta
bilization and Conservation
(ASC) Committee which ad
ministers USDA farm programs
in Georgia. Three other il
lustrations of how recent
changes in regulations are
opening more choices to farm
erswere cited: "With prior ap>-
proval, loan com modities may
be delivered to points beyond
the customery delivery point.
Soybean, corn, and oats loan
rates are to be based on
county-where-stored instead of
county-where- grown.
More types of structures are
eligible under the farm storage
facility loan program.
Producers should check with
their ASCS county office for
full details on obtaining CCC
loans on eligible commodities,
Including the new regulations
which permit sales contracts
on commodities under loan,
Fowler said.

Ask yourself this question. What am I using
mytonguefor? James 3;7-llFor every kind
ofbeast, and of birds, and of serpents, and
of things in the sea is tamed, and hath been
tamed of mankind; but the tongue can no man
tame, it is full of deadly poison. Therewith
bless we God, even the Father: and there
with curse we men which are made after the
similitude of God. Out of the same mouth
proceedeth blessing and cursing. My breth
ren, these things ought not so to be. Doth
a fountain send forth at the same place
sweet water and bitter?
Proverbs 10:17-21. He is in the way of life
that keepeth instructions: but he that refuse
th reproof erreth. He thathideth hatred with
lying lips and he that uttereth a slander is a
fool. In the multitudes of words there want
ethnotsin: but he that refraineth his lips is
as choice silver, the heart of the wicked is
little worth. The lips of the righteous feed
many but foold die for want of wisdom.
Proverbs 12:18-19. There is that speaketh
like the piercing of a sword: but the tongue
of the wise is health. The lips of truth shall
be established forever: but a lying tongue
is but for a moment.
Proverbs 18:21. Death and life are in the
power of the tongue: and they that love it
shall eat the fruit thereof. There is life in
the tongue. Romans 10:9. That if thou shalt
confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and
believe in thine heart that God hath raised
him from the dead thou shalt be saved.
There is death in the tongue. Luke 12:10
Unto horn thatblasphemeth against the Holy
Ghost it shall not be forgiven. James 1:26
If any man among you seem to be religious
and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth
his own heart, this man's religion is in vain.
