Our Firefighters Deserve
Praise; Need Cooperation
In Their Fire Fighting
We wish to congratulate the members
of the Covington Fire Department for the
aplendid job they did in the serious con
flagration which struck our city last week.
They did a splendid job and deserve all
the praise possible for the efficient and
energetic manner in which they controlled
the serious fire. It was through their skill
afid untiring efforts that the blaze was
brought under control and losses held to
the two buildings without spreading to
many others.
While we give them full praise we
must also request the cooperation of the
public in future fires. Our volunteer fire
men have to come from many parts of the
- city when the fire whistle sounds, and they
should be favored with the right of way
in every instance.
Many times when the fire trucks leave
the city hall, cars of spectators try to keep
up with the fire engine. This is a mistake
on the part of those who attend through
curiosity. They 'should not block the fire
men who are racing from every portion
of the city to get to the fire.
- We would suggest these spectators take
a more leisurely pace and allow the fire
men to pass them as they race for the fire.
This would mean much to the firemen and
would also assist in the speedy extinction
of fires.
Also, it is suggested the spectators
park their cars at least one or two blocks
from where the engine stops. This would
give the firemen an opportunity to get to
the fire quicker and give the fire engine
more room in which to maneuver. This new
engine needs lots of room and it has been
handicapped several times by spectator
cars parking too near the fire.
Think of these things the next time
<you speed to the fire. It will help the fire
men and may be the means of saving some
home from complete loss, and, that home
might b? your own.
Gulf of Aqaba May
Be Used To Replace
Suez Canal Route
As time drags on — with reports of
slow-downs and threatened stoppage in the
work of clearing the Suez canal, of US
emergency oil shipments to Europe fall
ing behind schedule, and without progress
in settling Suez administrative problems —
the attention of the world is drifting east
ward, across the Sinai desert to the Gulf of
Aqaba which separates Egypt and Saudi
Arabia.
At the head of the Gulf is the Israeli
port of Eilat, which flourished in the days
of King Solomon, but which was languish
ed since the Egyptians placed guns at Ras
Nasreni, commanding the narrow straits at
the entrance of the Gulf, 100 miles below.
On last November 3rd, in its drive across
the Sinai desert, the Israeli army captured
the guns and freed the straits of Than.
The Israelis still hold the west shore of the
Gulf and stubbornly refuse to withdraw
until there are assurances that this inter
national waterway will remain open to all
shipping. In his latest report to the UN
General Assembly, Secretary-General Dag
Hammarskjold seems to be refusing such
assurances.
The significance of the Gulf of Aqaoa
to the western world is seen in a recent
Israeli statement that: “For the first time,
an alternative to the Suez is open.” World
War II plans for a second canal from Eilat
to Haifa on the Mediterranean, considered
when the Allies feared Nazi bombing of
the Suez, are again under discussion. The
fact that the Suez canal, regardless of its
availability, will soon be inadequate for
the traffic, suggests this is no longer an
emergency measure. A further proposal is
a trans-Israel pipe-line from Eilat to the
Mediterranean, designed to handle the car
goes of the hugh 45,000 ton and 60,000 ton
super-tankers that will otherwise plow
their patient way around the Cape of
Good Hope. In thus shortening the route,
the size of the tanker fleet could be re
duced by some 20 to 30 of these great ves
sels —a saving estimated at 270 to 380
million dollars. Savings in actual transpor
tation, and hence the delivered price of
Middle East Oil in Western Europe, would
exceed 50 million a year.
All in all, there is considerable basis
for believing that the welfare of the West
— as well as the Middle East — demands
free transit of the Gulf of Aqaba as well as
the unhampered use of the Suez canal.
Further, emphasis on this point at this
time might well speed the lagging rehabili
tation of the existing canal and •th*> sane
resolution of the Middle East quarrels

Robt. A. Bostwick, Patriarch,
Celebrates Ninety-first
Birthday At His Home
Tuesday, February 19, marked the
ninetieth birthday of one of Newton Coun
ty's patriarchs — Robert A. Bostwick, who
still lives in the house in which we was
born, built by his father, the late William
B. Bostwick, while Indians watched from
nearby trees as they roamed the forests.
Mr. Bostwick, with his brother Willie
and sister, Sally, walked for miles to “Pos
sum Trot” the nearest school, at which he
states, they were never late. It' was his
father who gave the land and timber, and
built the first school in that section, known
as the Bostwick School, later changed to
Gum Creek School.
Throughout the weekend friends and rel
atives from near and far dropped by the
Bostwick Homestead to express their love
and good wishes with gifts, cards and other
tokens of their esteem for one whose walk
in life has contributed much toward mak
ing the world a better place in which to
live.
It is a privilege to pay tribute to Mr.
Bostwick upon his ninetieth birthday, and
wish him Health and Happiness, Life’s
prime blessings.
Two Party System May
Be Good Thing For
The Southern States
We wish to congratulate the ladies who
held the political forum in our city this
week debating the two party system. An
informed public is an intelligent voting
public.
We have long felt a two-party system
in the Southern States would prove bene
ficial, especially as there is little differ
ence now in the thinking of the Democratic
and Republican parties.
There is very little difference also in
the actions of the two parties these days.
The Eisenhower government is trying to
go the renowned “New Deal” one better
in practically every category.
The “old line” Democratic and the
“old line” Republican are practically as ex
tinct as the Dodo bird. If you ask any
young Republican if he can define the
tenants of the Republican party, he would
look at you in amazement. The same goes
for the young Democrats of today.
In former years when the Republican
party was in the saddle high tariffs would
be in effect. The Republican party tried to
keep the gates down on imports, trying
in the United States.
On the other hand, he Democrats were
in favor of World Trade, among other
things. Since the Reciprocal Trade Agree
ment was placed in effect by the Democra
tic Party as a means of selling American
goods to the World, (and frankly we believe
this particular act was a mistake) the Re
publican Party has extended this agree
ment time and again and it is still in effect.
A two-party system in the Southern
States would give the South a stronger
voice in the affairs of our Natiol. If you will
studv the various allotments in the “Land
Bank”, and other gravy trains, you will
reali e just what we mean.
We Salute The Future
Farmers of America And
Its 18,000 Georgia Members
More than 382.000 Future Farmers of
America in the 48 States, Hawaii and
Puerto Rico are celebrating the week of
February 16-23, in observance of National
FFA Week, which coincides with the birth
day of one of the nation’s first scientific
farmers — George Washington.
Eighteen-thousand Georgia lads from
300 chapters in the state compose a large
and important part of this organization of
boys studying vocational agriculture in
high school. And not only do these young
Americans learn better farming methods,
but the Future Fanners of America is also
designed to help develop rural leadership
and good citizenship; to stimulate the boys
to better achievement ip their study, and
work toward prosperous establishment in
farming.
It is W’hile they are members of this
worthwhile organization that these young
men are trained to be the successful farm
ers of tomorrow by “Learning to Do, Do’nq
to Learn, Earning to Live, and Living to
Serve.”
We salute these sturdy } T oung farmers
who are preparing to meet the challenge of
the future. Theirs will be the resnon«ibilitv
of producing food for the rapidly increas
ing population of our countrv ... to this
orpan’zetion, the tep^ers and scMsrs. we

Christianity is a religion of the
inner heart. Its most salient cha
racteristic is inwardness.
One is either a Christian at the
very center of hi* heart or else
| he is not a Christian at all.
In contrast with his concept,
we find all kinds of different em
phases that have been made in
Judaism and in Christianity. Re
ligious leaders have »ometimes
substituted high ritual and ec
clesiastical dominaton for true re
ligion. Worshipers often substi
tute church attendance, benevol
ence, social service, intellectual
emancipation, and a routine of
pious customs for religion of the
inner heart.
Jecu* Christ — th* greatest ex
ponent of inner religion the hw
man race ha* known — was con
stantly pitted bigoted and bitter
religionist* who attempted to sub
stitute all sorts of worldly in
terests for a humble and abiding
faith in the Most High.
The Pharisees and the Sad
ducees came to Jesus and tempted
him by asking him to show them |
a sign from heaven.
The Pharisees had originated
more than 150 years before the
birth of Jesus. A group of deter
mined, courageous men, they had I
set themselves against the at
tempt of their Greek ruler, Antio
chus Epiphanes, to stamp out the
religion of Jehovah. The nobility
of the original movement declin
ed after a period of national j
stress. Inferior men took over j
and made Pharisaism a tyranni
cal assumption of power and a
sterile theological system. Our
Lord when he opposed the Phari
sees was pitted against unprinci
pled men who often attempted to
hide their iniquity with a cloak of
religion.
The Sadducees were the op
ponents of the Pharisees, al
though they gladly joined the
Pharisees in persecuting Jesus.
These Sadducees were the ra
tionalists of their day. They de
nied the resurrection, the possi
bility of life after death, and the
existence of angels or spirits.
Futhermore, they allied them
selves with the ruling class, and
particularly with the Romans.
These people* tempted Jesus,
and we can readily appreciate
how much suffering he could
have saved himself had he asked
God to allow some great miracle
to occur which would establish
his identity as the Messiah. But

। INCOME TAX FACTSNTzZZZ
Selecting the Correct Form
Saves Tax Dollars
I This is one of a series of articles on foderof iaeewe tan
fling These articles are based on information provided by
the American Institute of Accountants, and the Georgia
Society of Certified Public Accountants in cooperation with
the Internal Revenue Service.)
Thu government gives you the alternative of using the simplfled in
come tax form 1040-A. the "short form” 1040, or the "long form" 1040.
depending on the amount and circumstance* of your income, abjection
of the wrong form may cost you unnecessary tax dollar*
The easiest form to file is ther
1040-A. and according to Treasury
records, one out of four taxpayers
use it. To be eligible to file a 1040-A
form your total income must be
less than $5,000, consisting entirely
of wages subject to withholding (or
of wages, dividends, and interest,
providing not more than SIOO of
such income came from a source
outside that listed on your W-2
slips). The simplified form makes
no provision for “Head of House
hold" status or Itemized deductions.
If you use this form the govern
ment will figure your tax and send
you either a refund or a bill, if you
so desire. However, for the first
time this year, you can compute
your own tax on form 1040-A and
either send in the balance due with
the return or show thereon the
amount of refund you have coming.
Whether to Itemize ?
Should you decide to use the
regular form 1040 you still have
the choice of itemizing deductions
or using a standard deduction which
amounts to about 10 percent of your
income. If your income was less
than $5,000 and you use the stan
dard deduetion, you determine your
tax from the special table given
in the instruction book.
You are likely to save by Itemiz
ing if you:
(1) Own real estate
(2) Had unusual medical ex
penses
(8) Had deductible child-care ex
pense
(4) Suffered losses from fire,
storm, accident or theft
(5) Made fairly large contribu
tion*
It is important to remember that
if you incur such expenses as trans
portation, meals or lodging in con
nection with your work, check care
fully the instruction book to find
how these expenses may be de
ducted exen though you decide to
use the standard deduction.
If your deductions are close to .
10 percent, it is wise to itemize
them and figure your tax both ways

of his ministry.
For sacrifice and »«M-oHace
meni are essential quslitie* of the
spiritual life, and these could
come only through suffering and
atonement.
Our Lord’s opponents wanted a
sign from heaven, because their
j dead souls were unable to per
ceive the sign which was being
manifested continually before
their eyes. Jesue was doing every
thing which the Old Testament
■ declared the Messiah would do
when he came to earth. When
John the Baptist sent to Jesus and
asked whether or not he was the
true Messiah, the answer which
Jesus sent back was “Go and
show John again those thing
which ye do hear and **e: the
blind receive their sight, the lame
walk, the lepers are cleansed, and
the deaf hear, the dead are raised
up, and the poor have the gospel
preached to them.” John needed
no further answer. The Bible had
said that the Messiah when he
came would do these things, and
by doing them Jesus was proving
himself the Messiah.
Bv< the Pharisee* wanted some
thing more, and especially some
thing different. They were ex
ternalists in iheir religious con
cepts and so longed for spectacu
lar, external sign*. Jesva held te
the inner qualiiiec of true reli
gion and would give them ne such
external sign.
' These people could discern the
face of the sky, but they could
not discern the signs of the times.
Every gracious word Jesus utter
ed, every act of mercy he per
formed, cried out that the Mes
siah was in their midst.
people in matters par
taining to the physical world were
.. ..wise. In matters per
taining to th* spiritual world they i
were otherwise.
Jesus not only refused to give
his enemies a sign, but he reveal
ed their spiritual blindness and
their essential wickedness of
ta-t in asking for a sign. Furth
ermore, he had something to say
about the kind of sign which was
being given them then and would
be given them in the future.
Le^ us look first at his estimate
of the moral character of his con
temporaries. He caked them “a
wicked and adulterous genera
tion." In their inner lives they
were wicked because they thrust
from them the things of God, and
they were adulterous not only
because of their secretly hidden
lusts but also because they adul
terated (corrupted, debased, and
made impure by the mixture of
sterile religious rules with the
principle* of sound religion) the
revelation of God’s truth.
But it that g*n«rafieM was
wicked and adulterous, what
about th*** present iimesT May it
not ba that present-day religion
has pointed out: "Th* law expects
you to pay your correct tax—n*
more—no less."
Married Couple*
Moat married couple* aav* tax
dollars by filing a joint r*turx in
stead of separate returns. This is
because the tax is figured on a Joint
return as if the husband and wife
each had one-half the total income
(even though the wife may actually
have had no income). Income-split
ting, as it la caHed, may bring the
couple down into a lower tax
bracket.
Watch for the exceptions, how
ever. If you had capital losses or
unusually high medical expenses,
you will be wise to figure both joint
ly sad separately to see which
results in less tax.
It you are supporting a dependent
and maintain a home for that per
son although you are single, wid
owed, divorced or legally separated,
you may be able to qualify as a
“head of household,” and figure
your tax on a special table which
give* you part of th* advantage
enjoyed by married couples filing
joint return*
Surviving Spout*
Also, if your husband or wife died
in 1954 or 1955, and you have as
a member of your household a de
pendent child or stepchild, you ar*
entitled a* a "surviving opous*" to
the same ineome-splltting benefits
thia year as you would hav* on a
joint return—unless you remarried
before the end of I»SS. The privi
lege to file as a surviving spouse
applies to the first two years follow
ing the year in which your husband
or wife died.

with your tax forms gives further

is lacking in power because it is
lacking in eenfeecten and repen

In Matthew 12:38-41, Jesus said
that “the sign of Jonas (Jonah)”
would suffice. “As Jonas was
three days and three nights in the
Whale’s belley; so shall the Son
of man be three day* and three
nights in the heart of the earth.”
In Luk* 11:20-30, h« declare*
that “Jonas was a sign unto the
Ninevite*.” They had heard him
preach and had repented at his
preaching, whereas Jesus’ own
contemporaries showed no sign
of repentance. The words that
Jesus spoke were th* sign of his
Messiahship. God would give a
final and irrefutable sign in the
resurrection.
If we today want to know
whether Jeava is what h* claims
to bo, lot us Moton to Ms word*
and ponder the miracle of the
r**urr*ction and it* immeasur
able spiritual teaching.
The world is full of signs of
God’s power. We live amid phy
sical forces *o mysterious and
miraculous that a *ign blazoned
across the heavens could not more
surely reveal the Creator. We ask
if the promises of God are true.
Were not the promises He made
to Israel and the world about the
coming of a Saviour fulfilled in
Jeeus Christ, and have not his
threats against wickedness been
verified in the destruction of em
pires? The critics of our Lord’s
day lacked the spiritual discern
ment to recognize him, but are
we today guilty of a like sin?
God is still in the world through
the Holy Spirit Christ is still in
our midst carrying on his saving
work. Yet often our religious
faith lacks the power it shoujd
have because we are not quite
sur* about the testimony of the
IV ord of God and the added test
imony of the earth and sky and
the heart of man.
Ovc Lord's repeated admoni
tion te the believer was: Let him
that hath ears to hoar, use them;
let him that hath eye* to see, pre
ceive.
There is great difference of
opinion among honest Christian
believer* today as to what are
the sign* of Christ’s return. This
difference of opinion arises from
a difference m the ways men in
terpret the same facte.

“And . . . his disciplea . . . had
forgotten to take bread. Then
Jeeu* said unto them, Take heed
and beware cd the leaven of the
Pharisee* and of the Sadducee* ”
In the Parable of the Leaven
(Matt. 13.33), Jesus had set forth
the truth that the coming of the
kingdom of heaven into a man’s
heart and into the world utterly
transforms the nature of every
thing it touche*. This i* the leaven
of God’* holy purpose. Th* leaven
of the Pharisees was a leaven of
evil, for the Pharisee* were in
trenched ecclesiastical tyrants
whose only thought was their
personal advancement. Their
leaven also changed th* form and
character of everything it touch
ed. They filled the life of the com
mon people with rupersitition and
fear. They put the people under
bondage and bade them endure
their bonds without murmuring.
Our Lord’s disciples, however,
had not yet learned to think in
spiritual terms. When he spoke of
leaven, they thought that he
meant bread and that he was
, counseling them against purchas
ing bread which contained leaven.
The leaven of the Pharisees
was the wickedness of bigotry,
j tyranny, and pride. The leaven of
the Sadducees was worldliness
and rationalism. Jesus held that
these things destroy the soul.
H* taught them io take h**d
regarding these things—that is,
to p**r into them and understand
them. Ho told them to beware of
thee* evils, literally, to hold
ihemselv** against them—which
is a directive io us that we guard
against these evils, which so easi
ly destory the oouL
We have Pharisaism in our
midst today. There are still those
who thank God that they are not
as other men. They draw away
from the flagrant sinner or from
the person of another nation.
They live amid a little circle of
congenial people and give no heed
to the lonely world which sweeps
by. They are self-satisfied. Many’
are proud because of their money,
but probably the most devasting
*>rm of pride is the intellectual
pride which closes the mind
against further revelation of
truth.
Jesus rebuked his disciples be
cause, when he spoke of leaven,
they thought only of daily bread.
If they were thinking of bread,
why did they not remember how
he had fed the five thousand and
the four thousand, how he had
taken a few loaves and a few
fish and how these when passed
through his hands had become
enough to feed multitudes? Here
were miracles, w'orld-shaking mir
