"TURN YOUR LIFE
OVER TO GOD”
Once a great preacher said,
“Let God have your life. He can
do more with it than you can.”
This is a fact too many people
discover to be true too late in
life. We are essentially a stub
born people with a mind of our
own. Some of us have been
stumbling along through life try
ing to manage without God.
Just the other day. a man told
me about his past life. It was
marked with failure because he
lived by the philosophy, “I can
manage my own life.” He lost
his job; and because of his selfish
ness and sin, almost lost his
family. “I finally came to the
conclusion,” he said, “that I was
doing a poor job with my life and
needed help. I began looking for
help in the church. Finally, I
turned my life over to J e s u s
Christ, and He has been my Guide
since.” I wish you could see my
friend now. He has a good job,
lives in a lovely house and has a
wonderful family. I didn’t know
him when he was down and out,
but he is a living example of the
fact that God can do more with
life than we can.
This man Moses never ceases
to amaze me. Once, as he watch
ed his father-in-law’s sheep, he
came face to face with God. God
told Moses He wanted to use him
for a great task. Moses did not
want to let God manage his life.
He made many excuses, but fin
ally he consented to be used; and
because of this, an ordinary shep
herd was changed into one of the
greatest religious leaders in the
history of man.
Moses faced an almost imposs
ible task, but he faced it with
God. God said to Moses. “Cer
tainly I shall be with thee...”
(Exodus 3:12). There are times
when our problems seem so great
that they cannot be conquered,
but when we become conscious of
God s presence, strength and help,
we know they can be solved.
Some people seem to think if
they dedicate themselves to God,
they will not be called upon to
face trouble. This is not so.
Jesus lived His Father’s will to
perfection, yet He found at the
end of His earthly journey a cruel
cross. Moses was a faithful lead
er. but he faced many serious
problems. The wilderness brought
the problem of obtaining food and
water, but God supplied this need.
God never fails us. He always
supplies us with strength and cour
age to face all of life with con
fidence if we permit Him to
manage our lives.
If your life has not been all
you think it should be, turn it
over to God and place it under
new management, and you will
find that God can take even you
ordinary life and use it to glorify
His name.
Child Dependent
Is Explained
By Tax Official
Parents may be entitled to
claim their child as a depen
dent on their Federal income
tax return even though the
child earned S6OO or more dur
ing 1959, A. C. Ross, Director
of Internal Revenue for Geor
gia District, reminded taxpay
ers today.
He explained:
“Even though your child is
required to file an income tax
return if he has income of S6OO
or more for the year, you also
may claim him as a dependent
if certain conditions are met.
“If you have furnished more
than half of his support, you
may claim an exemption for
him regardless of the amount
he earned, providing he had
not reached his 19th birthday
by January 1, 1960.
“When the child is 19 or
over, you still may claim an
exemption for him if he was a
full - time student during some
part of five calendar months in
1959. and if you meet the sup
port test. A full - time student
is one who is enrolled for the
number of hours which is con
sidered to be full - time atten
dance.
“In addition to attendance in
the regularly recognized high
schools and colleges or univer
sities, your child also will be
considered a student if he is
pursuing a full - time on-farm
training course under the su
pervision of an agent of a State
or political subdivision.
“Your child is not coneidertad
to be a full - time student if he
is employed full time during
the day and attends night
school, or if he is taking a cor
respondence course or an em
ployee training course.”

Poultry - Egg Outlook for I^3
S. J. Brannen and P. C. Bunce
Agricultural Extension
Service
(NOTE: This is the fifth in
i a series of weekly releases
to be written by these Exten
( tion economists, University
of Georgia College of Agri
culture, Athens, Georgia.)
Like a burnt child fearing
the fire, broiler producers in
Georgia are expected to reduce
output in 1960 because of their
I experience with low prices in
i 1959. In spite of this, however,
I broiler production will remain
I high.
Fewer pullets were placed as
1 potential breeders in the fall of
1959 and production may be
down enough ear’v in 1° e n
THE COVINGTON NEWS
prices to encourage expansion
late in the year. Prices for the
new year may average near or
just above the 16 - cent aver
age for 1959.
In 1959, consumption of
chicken amounted to 29.8
pounds per person — 1.5
pounds more than it was in
1958. More competition will be
felt from red meats in 1960.
Pork is the strongest competi
tor for poultry meats.
Exports to industrial areas of
Europe have gained sharply in
recent years. Production is get
ting started in those areas, but
1960 exports will not be af
fected. In coming years, how
ever, exports will have to b
made at a price advantage <
At present it seems that if
protits are to be made in 1960
production must be limited to
an amount that will be con
sumed at good prices to the pro
ducer. That may be near or
below the amounts produced
late in 1959.
Turkeys
A record number of turkeys
were grown in 1959 — 82 mil
lion. Shifts in regional produc
tion areas also was noted. Pro
duction is up by 20 percent in
the West North Central states.
In Georgia the number of
turkeys on hand as of Jan. 1.
was 36,000 head — down 1,000
from the year before. Produc
tion for sale in 1958 was 257,-
000 head and sales amounted
to $1,185,000. Prices as of mid-
November, 1959., were 24.9
-."■•■'d for the U. S.
average and 25 cents in Geor- I
gia.
£ggs
(LirffMt Coveraera Any Weakly In Tha Siata)
Egg consumption per person
1 1 in 1959 was about 354 compar
-1 cd to 349 in 1958. Consumption
has failed to respond to lower
prices. Greater competition
from other breakfast foods that
: are highly advertised is given
as one of the chief reasons,
along with changing food ha
bits of Americans. Egg prices
have trended downward since
1947-49 despite smaller per
capita supplies.
Large scale egg production
has developed in the broiler
belt and elsewhere during the
last few years. Large-scale,
I quality-controlled egg produc
tion now has a less favorable
outlook. Investments for pro
duction were made when egg
। nrices were higher because of
i (Wimt nosition of the
Southeast in egg supply. How
ever, Southeast egg prices now
: are nearly comparable to na

Mrs. Stover Named
Census Crew
Leader Here
Appointment of crew leaders
for the 1960 Census of Popu
lation and Housing in this area
was announced todav by Su
pervisor J. Wilkins Smith of
the Census Bureau’s temporary
district office in Griffin, Geor
gia.
Mrs. Janice Stover, 623 Re
becca St., Covington, is one
of the crew leaders named for
this area.
Each crew leader will su
pervise about 20 enumerators
in the big nationwide census
which begins April 1. Crew
leader training will begin on
March 7 for rural crew leaders
while their city counterparts
will start training on March 14.
Topics to be covered in the
PAGE FIFTEEN
training sessions include pro
cedures for recruiting of cen
sus takers, how to train their
census takers, canvassing
methods, preparation and sub
mission of reports, and the su
pervision of census takers to
insure a complete and accur
ate count.
The crew leader is one of
the key people in the field
operations of the 1960 Census
of Popula‘ion and Housing. It
is his responsibility to recruit
and train the census takers;
plan and allocate work assign
ments; review the work of the
census takers and take remedial
action where necessary, and to
handle problems of difficult
enumeration.

the Blind reports that more
than one thousand blind stu

and universities in the United
States.
