An educated man is one who knows where to look to find
what he wants to know.
There was a trick in all that government lending. Now
they are trying to make people pay it back.
What’s the use? If you spend it you’re a waster, and
if you invest it you are a sucker.
A food surplus isn’t new. Even in famine days there
was more than the rich could eat.
A faithful husband is one who knows that no other
woman would regard him as a wonder.

P. T. A. Asking Co-o^raiion of Parents
A, Committee from thf Parent-Teachers Association
called at the News office this week and requested the help of
the editor in asking for co-operation of parents in taking pre
ventative measures regarding the health of their children.
The old adage; “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure” is certainly applicable bo this situation. All parents
desire healthy, happy children and these two terms are sy
nonymous. A child cannot be happy unless it is healthy.
If you would openly accuse a parent of neglecting their
children’s health they would be highly indignant. They
would indignantly deny such , a charge, yet many parents in
our community are neglecting the health of their children
in many ways.
A parent F often neglects the health ' of his child in not
having periodic health examinations. Take your child to your
family physician and let him give the child a thorough phy
sical examination every three months.
Diseases such as tuberculosis develop quickly in children,
and if found out in the early stages can be as quickly cured,
But i fneglected and alowed to gain a hold it is practically
impossible to cure. It takes so little time and is so very in
expensive to take your child to your family physician once
every three months and let him give him a thorough exami
nation.
Many parents go to the extreme in prenatal care but af
ter the child begins to go to school they forget all about its
health except only in a haphazard manner. Let’s all get
health conscious in our community and thereby build health
ier and healthier bodies in our children.
Tax Situation Becoming Grave
Much anxiety among the business men of our state is be
dng occasioned by the call for a special meeting of the legisla
ture to consider the tax situation.
With the more and more pronounced talk of a sales tax
| he merchants are much concerned. Many describe the sales
ax as a “painless” tax but we would like to see the face's of
hese same people when they have to add a penny or more
) every purchase they make if a sales tax js passed.
They may consider it painless now but we would like to
T mture a grimace of pain would flit across their face every
, »* ne they make a purchase and have to dig for an extra penny.

i ; r! '\ ase for ten cents we found we did not have to pay a tax,

not. Galatians 6:9.
Paul had “laid a foundation’’ in
Corinth, “and another buildeth
thereon.” Apollos had followed
him and built on the foundation
Paul had laid, and we are all do
ing this.
Former generations have laid
vast material and intellectual and
I spiritual foundations on which we
“ffof begiu^ng ag.fo and
work out our own language and
learning science and government
1 and civilization, we would never
; get beyond the border of bar
barism.
Yet there are foundations and
foundations. “But let each man
take heed how he buildeth there
on. For other foundation can no
man lay than that which is laid,
which is Jesus Christ.”
There is one fixed and final
foundation on which to build our
religious faith and life, Jesus
Christ the same yesterday, today
and forever.
He is the Son of God above and
beyond all our little systems that
change with the passing years and
have have their their day day and and cease cease to to be. be.
Foundations are tested. Many
forces are beating against them
and straining their bulwarks and
they will stand or fall according
to their depth and stability.
“But if any man buildeth on the
foundation gold, silver, costly
stones, wood, hay, stubble; each
man’s work shal be made mani
fest: for the day shall declare
because it is revealed in fire; and
the fire itself shall prove each
man’s work of what sort it is.”
But there is one security that
is a sure foundation forever; the
Lord Jesus Christ.
He does not change with the
his gospel does not go up or
witb the markets > and no
thief can break through into his
treasury and filch it away. Fire
may burn all else that a man has
and leave him only ashes, but if
he has faith in Jesus Christ his
“work shall abide which he built
thereon, he shall receive a re
ward.” one hundred cents on the
doliar. He may lose all else, “but
he himself shall be saved; yet so as
thiough fire.
Paul never forgets lesser mat
ters while inculcating the greatest
duties. At this point he inserts a
word in favor of paying ministers
a living wage. “But let him that
is taught in the word communicate
unto him that teacheth in all good
things.
If this reduces the minister to
the level of a business man, so be
it. There is need of business in
religion as well as of religion in
business.
Paul now passes on to a deep
law of all life, the law of seed
sowing and harvest reaping. “Be
not deceived,” on this point he
says, “God is not mocked: for
whatsever a man soweth, that
shall he also reap.”
Wheat from wheat, and weeds
from weeds.
Plant a thorn and you will not
get grapes; sow thistle seed and
you will not gather figs. To get
corn you must plant corn and
never anything else. Every seed
brings forth after its kind. j
This is a universal and inexora
ble law of nature.
this point. Not one exception is
ever known to break its inevitable
continuity and necessity. Nature
never forgets what has been sown
and never brings forth the wrong
thing. By seeing what comes out
of the ground you can tell every
time what has gone into the
ground, and by seeing what goes in
you can predict with infallible cer
tainty what will come out.
Our life is a sowing in which
all our myriad thoughts and ac
tions are like falling seeds which
are either golden grains of truth

Red Cross Letter
Mr. A. L. Loyd, Chairman,
Newton County Chapter,
American Red Cross,
Covington, Georgia.
Dear Mr. Loyd:
The Newton County Department
of Public Welfare wishes to ex
press its appreciation to you and
Mr. Donald Stephenson, Roll Call
Chairman, for the cooperation re
ceived from the Newton County
Chapter of the American Red
Cross during the past year. With
the help of the Red Cross Fund
we have been able to assist many
needy families with food, clothing,
fuel, and medical services.
To see and be aware of need,
poverty, and suffering in the fam
ilies of our county is distressing
enough, but to know of these ex
isting conditions without being
able to follow through with some
plan of assistance is far worse.
The Red Cross has been our source
of assistance in so many instances
and we want every citizen of New
ton County to realize with us its
importance to the community.
Social Security benefits from
the State and Federal Government
include only the three special
types of assistance: Old-Age, Aid
to he Blind, and Aid to Depend
ent Children. All general assist
ance must be provided by the lo
cal communities, and for this rea
son we cannot stress too much
the great need for the Red Cross
in Newton County.
We wish to assure you of our
desire to cooperate with you in
every way possible.
Sincerely yours,
(Miss) KATHERINS WILLIAMS,
Director, Newton County, Dept of
Public Welfare.
