LETTER TO THE editor/ THE BRANTLEY ENTERPRISE NAHUNTA, GA. DEAR EDITOR We realize that there are some people in Brantley County who don’t believe or know that there Is a person by the name of Janet Bunch. We do know that there Is such a person, by the name of Janet Bunch. Her grandparents are the late Mr. and Mrs. Berry Morgan, Sr., and Mr. and Mrs. Tom GRASSROOTS ^OPINION NEW ALBANY, MISS., GA ZETTE: ” A friend offers th. ese statistics revealed at a .. meeting where women were surveyed on their feelings a. bout deceptive packaging in re tailing.

My reaction to this is unprintable. Some leg islators are now proposing that News & views o f Hunt’ll & fishing I have been told that the hunting clubs of Brantley Co unty and all individual hunt ers are encouraged to attend a meeting at the county court, house at 7:30 P.M. on March 7, 1973. The State Game and Fish Commission will be presents ing films on wildlife and there will be a discussion on “Feed, ing of wildlife ’*. As a not too avid deer hun. ter, I have wondered about how the game in our county manage to feed where a vast amount of the wild land is cut clean of timber, pushed clean of all bushes and grass, and set out with little pines. There may be as much as one third of the area in our county where this has already been done and I see the practice continuing ev eryday. Issue is not taken with the land holders on timber manage ment, however, consideringthe game, we may need toconsider planting feed for them. I imagine that when game is fed they would tend to con gregate at the feeding places and there would be a problem on protection. Considering ev erythlng, I feel that we hunters should ail turn out to the meet- Editor and Publisher Purdom,Sr. Her parents are Mr. Owne Morgan , and the late Cora Purdom Morgan.

She Is our cousin. welfare recipients register for work, and If work Is available and they are physically able, they must accept work. This radical idea appeals to us tax payers who are sick and tired of supporting lazy people.” NORTH MIAMI BEACH ~ FLA., CITIZEN-HUB: ” Make no mistake about it —by 1975, unless we keep pace and do the things we are supposed to do, the Russians will outdistance us in every field of military operation and challenge our national security.” GREENSBURG, KANS., KI OWA COUNTY SIGNAL: "Gen eral Revenue Sharing may be all right, but when you consider what happens to a dollar from the time it leaves the home area and when it finally gets back it makes us wonder why it couldn’t be left here in the first place.” BY: KNEEKNOCKER JIM ing and listen to the experts. There are several questions that I need to ask and my questions concern turkeys. Speaking of turkeys, Chief Hatchett from the Waycross off ice said that the turkey season will be open on March 17, and close April 14. The following counties will have the open season; Ben Hill, Brantley , Coffee, Charlton, Dodge , Pi erce, Telfair, Wilcox, and Camden. Now I don’t expect to get more than my bag limit ( wh ich is one turkey gobbler ) but I do expect to get a big one. I found a big old fat mister, feeding near the Sa tilla the other day. I was walk ing down a plowed fire break when I heard a little noise off to my right. To the uninitia- ted, it might have been a sq uirrel or a blue jay in the dr led leaves. On moving ever so slow, I got to a point where I could see the gobbler and three hens feeding. Now that is a sight to behold 11! Wild game and the wilest of wild game, out on an oak ridge feeding, their color nearly blending in with the brown leaves and th ickets. An artist with an in terest in wildlife could have a masterpiece. Mrs. Louise Lee Mrs. Milton Morgan.

We hope the correct copy is more meainingful and we apologize to the writer. WHY do frogs hop ? WHY do birds fly ? WHY do stars twinkle ? WHY can’t you see the wind ? WHY Is the sun so hot ? WHY are the mount, alns so high ? Small children ask these questions and many more just as difficult to ans wer. I often think the word WHY is used more than any word in the English language. WHY was I made weak when I asked for strength ? — that I might learn to obey. WHY was Imade ill when I asked for health ?— that I might do greater things. WHY am I poor when I wanted to be rich ? — that I might Gabbing with Glad BY GLADYS CUIBRETH I have no style for writing, just my thoughts and ideas as I feel them, but thank you for your phone calls and your remarks when we meet telling me you enjoy my gabbing. A lady walked up to me the other day and said, ” Glad, I’m coming to visit and have a cup of coffee with you, just reading your gabbing makes me feel that I would be welcome.” What greater reward could anyone ask for doing something they enjoy ? A friend of ours ( I’m not calling any names ) is a golf addict. He has been playing golf for years and refuses to quit, but It is amazing to me how a man can let a little white ball and a 3 foot steel club cause him to lose his integ rity, his religion and his mon ey. He admits to being physi cally on the golf course but mentally in a zoo. He said it- I didn’t.

WHY am I weak when I wanted great power ?- that I might feel my need of HIM. WHY do I have so little when I wanted so much ? -- that I might en joy the simple things in life. I asked for so many things I have not received, but God has given me almost every, thing I hoped for- WHY ? WHY were not born in some spiritually benighted part of the world instead of this good land of Bibles and religious tolera tion ? WHY are some church members like wheel barrows, no good unless pushed ? WHY are some like canoes, need paddling ? WHY are some like kites — have to keep a string on them or they fly away ? WHY are some like footballs, can’t tell which way they will bounce next ? WHY are some like a balloon, full of hot air and ready to blow up ? WHY are some like trailers, have to be pulled ? WHY are just a few like a good watch, open face, busy hands, pure gold and full of good works ? faith In every way and every day of her life. During my impatient years of youth I let even themlnordisappointments of life set me in a spin. Her solace, that I angrily called preaching, was always softly spoken. ” Dear, please have patience, God knows our dis appointments and many times they are a blessing in dis guise.” Last summer I suffered an illness serious enough to slow my pace and curtail many ac tivities. After many months I accepted my physical limita tions and found my blessing in disguise. I now have time to meditate and appreciate my Creator, my church, my fr iends and a better understand, ing of my enemies. My vices are still much gr eater than my virtues but I’m working toward improvement, wheih most folks have been doing for a long time, I’m just getting a late start, though; From the Living Bible “Rejoice greatly, 0 my peo ple! Shout with joy! For look — your King is com ing! He is the Righteous One, the Victor! Yet he is lowly, riding on a donkey’s colt! I will disarm all peo ples of the earth, including my people in Israel, and he shall bring peace among the nations. His realm shall stretch from sea to sea, from the river to the ends of the earth. I have deliv ered you from death in a waterless pit because of the covenant I made with you, sealed with blood. Come to the place of safety, all you prisoners, for there is yet hope! I promise right now, I will repay you two mercies for each of your woes! Zechariah 9:9-12 CONT. FROM PAGEI HOUSE BILL property damage or bodily in jury suffered in an automobile accident, regardless of which driver caused the accident. Th is would be true unless the claim for either injury or dam age exceeded certain amounts to be stipulated by the bill, in which case the “ fault ’’ system under which we now operate would be used. Speaking of insurance, Rep. John Savage of Fulton county has introduced an interesting piece of legislation. His bill would require that the State Insurance commissioner pub lish an annual report, showing the ten insurance companies in Georgia charging the highest rates and the ten charging the lowest rates. Rates for home, life, automobile, and health in surance would be listed. Rep. Savage is trying to help Ge orgians make a more intelli gent choice about insurance coverage. The vote on some of these items could be very close, and letters from you and your friend could sway a Representative who would make thedifference. WHY love and be loved ? Because God is love. Love is the sure cure for one of the most destructible emotions that exists - HATE. WHY la ugh ? Because it takes about sixty five muscles to frown and only thriteen to smile. Laughter is the music of the soul.

When the unfaithful Christ, ian who has carried the cross every foot of the way shall stand bathed in HIS resplend ent glory, look on HIS smil ing face and hear HIM say, “ Well done, my child, wel. come home ”, will the only word we shall be able to ut ter at that moment be, " WHY ”, Smokey Says: ^HERE'S A GR-R-RATE f®™ WAV TO PREVENT FOREST FIRES Use grated fireplaces to help keep fire in its place!

PASTOR'S PEN And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard. Rom. 10 - 14. The story is told of an artist who was asked to paint a picture of a decaying church. To the astonishment of many, instead of portraying on the canvas an old tattering ruin, the artist painted a stately edifice of modern design and grander. Through the open portals could be seen the richly carved pulpit, the magnificent organ and the beautiful stained glass windows. In the vestibule was an offering plate of elab orate design for the gift of the fashionable worshippers. But here the artists idea of a decaying church was made known, for above this hung a box bearing the inscription “ For Foreign Missions ” and over the slot through which contributions ought to have gone he had painted a huge cobweb ! The Church, or the individual Christian whose heart and life is not invouled in the world wide proclamation of the Gos pel, is rest certainly decadent. We may be engaged in feverish “ Christian ” activity but or energies may be misdirected with the main thrust of God’s program for this age goes un aided or unattended by us. God has so ordered His plan of world evangeliqation that every believer may be vitally involved, we all. should be pray-ers that the “ Lord of the harvest may send forth labors into his harvest. Some will also hear His personal call to be preachers. How shall they hear ? Still others will be senders, for. How shall they preach, except they be sent ? May there be no cobwebs over the cause of “ World Missions ” in our life untold millions are perishing —untold. ' W.B. Glosson, Pastor, Hickox Baptist Church.
