Community News
It is said as one approaches the
Rockies in the far west that the
mountains loom higher and high
er until they seem to engulf you,
while you yourself seem to grow
smaller in comparison. To some
tourists it produces a sense of
fear, while others get a feeling
of exhilaration.
We here at County Line haqe
had a similar sensation during
this week’s revival. The nearer
we drew to God, the bigger He
seemed while we ourselves be
came so small in our own Estima
tion, for no one can stand in
close proximity to almighty God
and feel big and puffed up. His
presence makes us feel small, in
significant and unworthy even
when we have done our best. But
no doubt there were those who
turned away in fear of God as
he was high and lifted up before
them.
But on the whole we have just
witnessed and experienced a
great revival here at County
Line. Even we Methodists and
Presbyterians knowing no de
nominational barriers, worship
ped with them and were blessed
with them/ for here was a man
sent from God and his name was
called Herbert White. Day after
day he stood before the people
and poured out his very soul. He
preached deliverance to the cap
tives, many of whom were set
free, no more to be bound by the
fetters on sin. Several nights the
house was filled to overflowing
and good attendance throughout
the week. The three Christian
films were shown and enjoyed by
all. In fact, the showing of these
films, has been the means of the
salvation for many a poor soul,
it is said. There is a reason for
this great victory here at County
Line. Before each service people
were praying every where. The
men in the grove, the ladies in
the Sunday Schoo) rooms. Then
there have been the. sunrise pray
er meetings around the altar each
Sunday morning. The men arising
carlv to join the beloved pastor
in pouring oUt their hearts to
God for the revival.
Following the 11 o'clock serv
’ ice Sunday Mrs. Hoke Carter
1 entertained her 20 dinner guests
right royally with tables spread
। out under the trees at her home.
Among those partaking of he\
bounty were Rev. Loyd Lyle and
family, Rev. Herbert White and
family and Mrs. Marie Jenkins
(and family. They reported a won
derful time.
Then next door at Mrs. Flora
Cook s home, there was a similar
occasion only this was a birthday
dinner given in honor Iff Mrs.
Lizzie Steadham by all her chil

jgi ts. But this nice occasion
■ wound up on a sad note for a
' messenger came to deliver the
sad news of a two car wreck
over on the race track in nearby
Henry County. Several were in
jured tn this head-on collision
among whom was Neil Yancev
a grandson of Mrs. Lizzie Stead

Bell Telephone
Wins Safety
Award of Honor
I
Men and women of the Bell
Telephone Companies have again
earned the award of honor, the
highest safety award of the Na
tionl Safety Council, John N.
Booth, Southern Bell Manager,
announces. This award for 1955
makes the fourth time in five
years that Southern Bell and the
other Bell companies have won.
To win, an organization must
establish an outstanding safety
I record and show a substantial
improvement in the frequency
rate “Number of Accidents per !
Hours Worked” and the severity .
rate, “Number of Days Lost as j
i a Result of Accidents per Hours j
Worked.” The improvement is I
measured against the average of i
the previous three years of the '
companies and the communica
tions industry.
The Safety Council reports
that the communications indust
ry still holds first place as the
safest among all industry. The
Bell Telephone Companies are
the largest group in the com
munications industry.
j Their frequency rated for 1955
was .72 lost time work injuries
I per million hours of work. This i
is more than nine times safer !
than the average of all industry
reporting to the Safety Council.
The Bell Companies severity
rate was 96 days lost per million -
hoth-s of exposure. This is B'2 |
times better than the average of
all industry.
।
23 percent of all Georgians work
ing in manufacturing plants.
He added that 90 percent of
Georgia woodland is privately
owned with the average farm
having 69 acres' in trees. Any pro
gram to develop the forest re
j sources of the state must reach
’ the large number of small land ;
owners, Mr. Sibley said.
! One of Mr. Kreis’ first tasks ]
will be to help a hundred schools ]
locate ten to 15 acre wooded i
tracts which can be used for i
school forests. The Trust Com- ।
pany grant earmarked $25,000 to
be used to contribute $250 each j
toward the purchase of forest |
tracts for 100 schools which have
vo-ag departments.
Georgia has 4)1 vocational ag
riculture departments and 443

'than 26.000 high school boys are

FLOOR CLEANING TIP
I
Here's a tip to homemakers on I
keeping floors:. “The floor should
] be kept clean, not made clean !
once or twice a year.” Miss Hilda
Dailey, Extension Service home,
economist who made the sugges
tion, pointed out that cleaning
more often takes less time and 1
energy, preserves the surface, and '
makes the job of house cleaning
more interesting.

COTTON QUALITY
IMPORTANT
COTTON QUALITY
IMPORTANT
One of the greatest problems
> facing the farmer, the ginner,
and the entire cotton industry
: today is that of cotton quality
preservation. That’s the belief of
' H. B. Goolsby, Extension agricul
. tura! engineer at the College of
j Agriculture. He put it this way:
“Quality preservation affects
markets; markets determine the
size of the industry; the size of
■ the industry affects the welfare
of everyone who is a part of it.”
