This announ cement was made recently by Mr. Alfred E. Jones, Director of Post - Secondary programs for the State Department of Education. Waycross • Ware Tech was selected as one of the schools in the nation to participate because of the pre vious involvement it has had in offering courses in this fi eld.

The Christian must always be ready for service when ever the Lord calls him to a particular task. A believer may have only a very few talents, but if he places them at the disposal of the Master, the Lord will multiply his feeble efforts and do great and mighty things through him. On the other hand, a person may be endowed with many talents, a wonderful personality, and a splendid education: but if these are not dedicated to the Lord and put under His control they become liabilities instead of assets. Isaiah made himself available for service and answered the Lords call for a messenger. “ Here am I, Send me !” he said. It is not the gross amount of our sacrifice which the Lord uses as a basis for reward, but the motive and the joyfulness of our spiritual efforts. God delights in the little things his children do for him as much as he does the big things, Gideon’s 300 were better than his original 32,000, the few cookies and fishes of the little lad in Mark 6, when placed in the hands of Jesus could feed a multitude. Jesus is the Great multiplier, we are prone to lay like Phillip as we look at our meage talents, what are they among so many ? ( John 6:9 ) Do you sometimes feel helpless and limited in your service ? When you look at others, do you sigh because your accomplishments are insignificant ? Cheer up ! Place the little you have in Jesus Hands, give your tal ents over to his disposal, and you will soon carry away bas ketfuls of rewards, just make what you have available. THOUGHT - God is more interested in our availabilities than our abilities.

Consultants and spec ialists from all over the na tion took part in the develop ment process. “ We feel it is quite a fea ther in our cap to be chosen for this honor,” stated Win ters. “ I’ve known for some time that we have excellent programs, but it is this kind of recognition that serves to make the public aware that mo st instructors at Waycross- Ware Tech are better than average. Mrs. Crews and Mrs. Parker really put themselves into their jobs, and I’m very happy that they will be able to take part in this activity.” ARE YOU AVAILABLE ? W. B.

Extension Home Economists Virginia Raulerson Virginia Raulerson TO PARENTS OF YOUNG CH ILDREN We have a growing number of young families in our coun ty of which we are quite pr oud. Remembering that there were many frustrations of ear ly parenthood along with this being about the most enjoy able time of one’s life, I did need a few reminders and bo osts sometime- Several of wh ich I would like to share with you. Often, young parents need to remember that they are the adults and are responsi ble for the children learning the difference between right and wrong. That a father is very important to the child and he needs to begin good relationships when the child is born. On those days your young ch ildren tend to be bad and get on your nerves, take a good look at yourself and see if you are feeling your best. It could be you ! Did you know that children henger for learning ? They want to know things and find out things. You can feed your child’s hungry mind these ways: 1. Tell him, show him and give him a chance to find out how things work. 2. Take time to listen to what he has to say. 3. Pay attention to his ques tions, take time to answer them. 4. Provide opportunities for him to play with children at home and away from home. 5. Take him to interesting places. Ask him to share his experiences with you and other family members. 6. Let him think and do th ings by himself if it doesn’t threaten his safety or well being. 7. Encourage him to read to you and listen as you read to him. Pre-school children can look at the pictures and rem em ber the stories. 8. Provide access tointeres ting materials for him to read, look at, cut, tear and paste. 9. Give him educational toys to play with. Educational toys are those which provide a child with using the hands to put things together or provide a learning situation whether homemade or purchased al ready made.

The answer to the first question is easy • The world’s rarest stamp is the “ Penny Black ” issued by British Gu iana in 1856. It has a face value of one cent, printed on magenta paper. Don’t let the face value fool you; if you want, ed to buy it AND its owner was willing to sell it you would have to pay well in excess of $75,000.00 for it. Os course there would be many others desiring to own the rarest stamp in <the world so the price could very easily double or even go higher. Consider that there are millions of stamp collectors, butonly one “Penny Black ” in existance. Its value hasn’t always been recognized. The young boy who found it in 1872 sold it to a collector for $1.50. It changed hands many times when in 1880 it was aquired by Count Phil ip la Renotier von Ferrary of Austria for $600.00. In 19- 17, after count Ferrary’s dea th, his fabulous stamp coll ection was sold. The agent of King George, V of Great If II iaa BIIOnAO r^trees... jSxb shrubs... plants...
