living lives of crime. The young
people think they are so cute and
smart they will sell them on try
ing the same thing. The liquor
dealers have not been able to sell
their product on the Television
Screen ... Why? There would
be too many complaints . . . but
did you ever see a picture where
when the tired husband comes
in the wife says, “Can I fix you
a drink?” , . . they show it just
the same ... There is hardly
a picture shown on the screen
where there isn't drinking; even
the westerners have to go to
the Bar . . . Start thinking what
is being forced into your home
to mould the lives of your chil
dren ... Can that television in- |
fluence the life of your child?
Indeed it can. And everywhere
I go there are groups condemn
ing the ‘kind of kissing being
done on T. V. This is being forced
within your home. It is up to
the American Public to clean up
the programs of television for it
is in YOUR HOME. We must
demand clean shows within the
home ... clean fun, amuse
ment ... and the kind of ad
vertising acceptable ... They
pick the most convincing young
people to sell you their products
. .. let's go right on to the Prize
Fights . . . nothing prettier than
a clean wrestling match ...
fine young bodies like the phys
ical culture teachers who wrestle
CLEAN . . . fair ... break fair
. . . but the matches where even
the referee does not see hair
pulling ... choking etc when
he does not want to. Makes you
wonder if they are paid off. We
are living at a time when our
children can look as these un
clean things forced into the home‘
and think that great wrestler
gets by why can’t I . . . another
of many ads on the screen when
you have guests ... 2 pause
for a commercial ... and you
hear all about Lydia E. Pink
hams . . . there is a time and a
place for all things ... You
don’t like it either? Well, what
| are you going to do about it?
Just think of the hours ladies
listen in while the children are
at school and the husband at
work . . . How do you think they
would like lessons in making
sliprcovers . . . 2 lecture on how
to make corsages, floral arrange
ments for the home . « . Art les
sons ... landscape gardening
or interjor decoration . . . Then
a certain hour for the youngsters
for Georgia History ... U. S
History . . . the hour spent.m
listening to the subjects being
taught in school ... and the
evening hours of good clean
} shows, orchestras, bands, worth
| while plays ... Yes, you may
not serve wine, beer or strong
drink in the home but your
child is being taught that that
is the only thing to do at a party
. .. drink. Gangster tactics + .« «
and these early impressions are
lasting ones ... what can you
and 1 do about it? A card or
letter from everybody in every
| town would stop it . . . enough
‘ complaints in Washington would
stop it. But will you do it? You
and 1 would not think of a cock
tail bar within our home but we
‘are having them brought to our
home everytime we turn T
on ... “and if all these other
nice people drink them why
can’t we” was what a little boy
asked us one time in a large
hotel. They look good, can’t we
even have the cherry out of the
one at our place? .This was at
a huge Hotel Banquet. I saw
that Mother, finally in despera
tion take the cherries out and
wash them in her glass of water,
and give to the two little boys
and ask the waiter to remove
all the cocktails placed at that
table. They saw fine people
drinking them so why not them
... They-see this in the best
of plays brought so they are be
ginning to think it is the natural
course of events. Now I'm on a
{ subject which can mean much
| in the future of your children
. .. What will we do about it?
We would have erawled under
the seat and hid our faces when
we were youngsters at a New
‘ Club in Atlanta last Friday. Mrs.
| Rape is a district chairman of the
: organization.

The local G. E. A. unit met
Tuesday afternoon in the Newton
County High School auditorium
with A, C. Davis president, pre
siding. Soft drinks were served
prior to the business session.
Mrs. C. D. Ramsey Jr. led the
opening prayer. Minutes were
read by the secretary, Miss Eva
Mask. Woodrow Light, chairman
of the auditing committee, re
ported that the treasurer’s books
are in order,
The following delegates were
chosen for the spring session of
the Georgia Education Associa
tion in Atlanta: E. L. Ficquett, H.
M. Pulliam, B. M. Paden, Mrs. W.
A. Carlton and Miss Mary Trippe.
The alternates are: Miss Mary El
ington, Harvey Kitchens, E. D.
Whatley, Eddie Najjar and Mrs,
John Bob Weaver.
Mr. Light, program chaiman,
introduced Dr. Donald H. Mac-
Mahon, dean of instruction at
Georgia State College for Wo
men at Milledgeville. Dr. Mac-
Mahon appealed to the group of
teachers to use the present time
to take stock of our cultural heri
tage in deciding what our cul
ture has to offer. He spoke of the
five main traditions that encom
pass our way of life. Os these pos
session, lauguage is a common
bond. We have gained much in
science from other parts of the
world but Americans have added
their efforts principally to the
practical problems of life. The
danger is in the great power of
our technological knowledge. In
the aesthetic field, the vigorous
development of the twentieth cen
tury has outweighed the rigid
practical phase of the earlier
American life. Our greatest pos
sessions are spiritual. Our relig
ious heritage is divided into
countless branches of religious
churches. The strong belief in re
ligious freedom has made this
possible with an absence of con
flict. The basic value of our gov
ernmental institutions comes from
the concept of a ‘“Govenment of
the people, by the people, for the
people.” Our general concern, not
with its religious implications, is
that this conception of govern
ment might apply to all mankind.
Dr. MacMahon concluded by
saying that ideals and values are
goals. Ours is a traditional and
Christian compassion for our fel
lowmen, These traditions become
for each American the cardinal
principles for equal living. With
our freedom comes great respon
sibility. |
York theatre if we had seen
some of the things we see on
our T. V. screen IN OUR HOME
TODAY ... Don't turn that
show on? Well you might as
well put your T. V. set out and
return it to the dealers, or clean
up the type shows we are hav
ing . . . Vulgar kissing, drinking
.+ » right in our homes for our
children ... and one strong
drink ad even says its so fine,
so pure it is even used for sacri
mental purposes. Then your
young people will want to know
why it is not , . . even the peo
ple on T. V. say it is PURE
enough to use in a Church, It
is time America was waking up
to the fact that we are deterio
ating with the filth and de
gradation that all the things
mentioned lead to. If you wish
to help rebuild the Faith of our
Fathers ... and make a better
America start a campaign right
now through your Civic Clubs,
your Church, your patriotic org
anizations and personally, Amer
ica will be what WE make it.

We had one of the greatest
days this Historic City of Cov
ington and Oxord has ever had
— they held the World Affairs
Institute at Emory at Oxford
January 19th. We were honored
to have Monsieur Robert Valeur,
Counsellor, French Embassy, as
our house guest. He proved a
most charming guest. He was
delighted with the hospitality of
the South, and wants to bring
his wife and 17-year-old son back
to see beautiful Oxford, Cov
ington and the many friends he
made while here, '
You have seen a list of the
speakers, but we were especially 1
impressed with Dr. Erico Veris
simo, Directer, Department of
Cultural Relations, Pan Amer
ican Union. I had fun talking
with him about the places in
South America our boys visited
during the War ..., and the
'Boss had fun talking of all of
' South America with him for he
had covered it in his trip around
the world. ‘

CHILL HOURS FOR PEACH
TREES
Peach trees need a certain
number of chilling hours, vary
ing from 750 to 950, to break
their rest period and permit
normal development of leaf and
flower buds in spring. At the
end of November, these chilling
hours were recorded in Georgia
towns: Plains, 179; Fort Valley,
268; Experiment, 407; and
Athens, 389.
Continued growth in the elec-I
tric utility market for coal is
indicated by a prediction that by
1970 industry will be using twice
'as much power per worker and
that five times as much electric
ity will be used in the home as
at present.
The Ohio River, already a great
coal carrier, will in five years’
time be carrying 2s much or
more coal for public utility use
as it now carries for all public
and private consumption.

Today muillions of Americans will tell you
that the smart place to save your money is
an insured Savings and Loan Association.
They’ll give you three good reasons why this
isso...
1. You're smart to put your money where
it brings you excellent returns. Insured Sav
ings and Loan Associations can invest most
of their funds in sound, steady-paying home
mortgages. They really make your money
work hard for you.
2. You’re smart to put your money where
you know it’s safe. In these Associations, it's
protected by good management and sub
stantial reserves. And the Federal Savings
and Loan Insurance Corporation—an agency
of the U. S. Government—insures your sav
ings up to SIO,OOO.
