All This And Economy, Too!
Nearly everyone concedes
that it makes good sense to
use quality materials in home
building.
Still, there are folks who
seem reluctant to use them for
fear “they will cost more than
I can afford.”
For the sake of a few dol
lars, they re willing to deny
themselves the additional se
curity and the more comfor
table and trouble free exist
ence that good quality materials
bring.
Chances are, they’ll also be
denied the one thing for
which they’re willing to sacri-
Ve all else, and end up pay-
M more—rather than less—
for their abodes.
A Miami, Florida Building
extractor, Philips Moore, said
after Hurricane “Donna”: "The
terrible damage done here (in
an area of the Florida Keys)
lies in cheap construction. For
the sake of a few dollars, the
owners have lost everything.”
The supreme irony of the
situation is pointed up by the
Southern Pine Association. The
Association says that while
quality carries an obvious price
tag, it does not necessarily
follow that it increases the
cost of building a home.

In fact, quite the reverse is
lively to occur, simply because
any increase in material cost
is usually offset by collateral
savings.
There is no better example
than the case of lumber.
The importance of lumber as
a building material is under
scored by United States Bu
reau of Labor Statistics which
show that 83 percent of all
new homes have wood struc
tures, even when surfaced with
brick veneer, stucco or other
materials.
In the average home, this
involves about 10.000 board
feet of lumber, which accounts
for more than 90 percent of
the house value in terms of
security, maintenance and
overall comfort.
Since ft represents the “back
bone,” strength and staying
power of the house, it’s all the
more amazing to note that this
lumber amounts to only 10 per
cent of the total house cost.
No matter what kind of
lumber is used, the house cost
is affected by less than one
per cent. Even this diminutive
is a purely “paper” statistic —
readily erased by the effect of
the wood quality on more sub
stantial cost factors.
For example, when the
structural lumber is properly
dried and “pre-shrunk”— as
it should be — it is both sta
ble and uniform in size, and
nearly twice as strong as when
cut from tree. Not only are
such things desirable from a j
security standpoint, but they j
are also conducive to speed
and efficiency in construction.
When Southern Pine is grade
marked, the user has assur
ance that the lumber has been
pre-shrunk by proper season- ,
ing.
Time . , . manpower . . . ef
fort, are the really big cost
items in constructing a house.
Material prices are small in
comparison. And since good
quality materials are the easi
est kind to work and assemble,

\ ABUNDANT
' by ORAL ROBERTS
YOU CAN HAVE ABUNDANT LIFE
The highest achievement of
faith in God is acquiring abun
dant life. The Bible teaches that
we can live life abundantly, 24
hours a day. Jesus said, “I am
come that they might have life,
and that they might have it
more abundantly” (John 10:10).
Jesus Christ came to make
you more than you are and to
give you more than you have.
“More” and “abundant” are the
two words Jesus used to de
scribe the life He wants you to
have. Not less life, nor dimin
ishing life, nor shortened life,
but more abundant life. Jesus
came to give you life with
Something additional, life in a
greater degree, life abounding,
life overflowing,' life in great
plenty. Abundant means more
than enough. It speaks of in
oahaustible supply.
Everyone who believed in
Jesus Christ, who followed Him
Sincerely in faith while Christ
was upon the earth, received
more than he previously had.
Each began to abound in God’s
inexhaustible supply. God's
abundant life flowed into his
being. People became more
abundant in love, faith, hope
and peace.
Abundant life is that jiw
tbmg which make* you more
than triumphant, more than vic
torious you bectane store than
a conqaeror.

are Paul and John. Paul faced
nakedness, peril, sword, prison,
shipwreck, beatings and some
times the betrayal of his friends
anti of his own people.
Yet he was more than victori
ous through all this, and God
allowed him to see the glory
of the coming world.
The other man, John. was
persecuted, too, eventually be
ing exiled to the tiny, lonely
island of Patmos. He, too, was
caught by the Spirit of God
and was inspired to write the
Book of Revelation, the last
book of our New Testament.
These two men experienced the
highest degrees of abundant life.
But how can you receive
abundant life? First, you re
ceive it by a new birth. You
must be born again. That is,
you must be born spiritually
and become a new person m
Christ. Second, you must renew
your mind so that it is open and
grasping for the spiritual things
of God. The mind of Chnst
must be imparted to your mind.
Third, you have abundant life
as you release your faith. Every
one has faith, but not every one
uses his faith It is released
faith, going to God, that bru^s
great blessing to a life, healing
to a body, supply for material
needs. Released faith brings
abundant life and blesses you
with every good thing Cod has
for you.

At Shiloh Methodist Church
Homecoming Sunday, we
learned with regret of the ill
ness of Mrs. J. W. Peek, a
former member, who has re
cently suffered a stroke at the
home of her son, Charles Peek,
6741 East Glenbury Drive, N.
E„ Chattanooga 11, Tenn. In
cidentally, the son Charles, was
the first baby christened at
Shiloh Church. Many friends
.throughout the county are
wishing Mrs. Peek a rapid im
provement; and many prayers
are wending their way for her
early recovery.
The concern and prayers of
friends in our hours of illness
and sorrow are like strong
arms, which lift and support
us; and hold us close to the
Healing Light and Love and
Ministry of the Great Physici
an. Many of us have found this
true many times, as we find
it now, as our brother, Bel

humbled with gratitude at the
many expressions of interest
and concern, which make car

Direct Distance Dialing
Telephone users in Covington
and Conyers and 27 other
Georgia towns will be able to
dial their own long distance
calls beginning October 2nd,
Mr. Reece said.
Towns besides Covington and
Conyers which will have the
new service are: Atlanta,
Jonesboro, Stockbridge, Ros
well, Palmetto. Fairburn, Stone
Mountain, Smyrna, McDonough,
Clarkston, Chamblee, Duluth
and Lithonia.
Dallas. Douglasville, Fayette
villa, Villa Rica, Alpharetta,
Norcross, Powder Springs,
Athens. Buford, Carrollton,
Gainesville, Lawrenceville, Ma
rietta and Austell.
Southern Bell operators have
been dialing calls for many
months and will continue to do
so for person-to-person, collect,
coin telephone, credit cards and
other calls requiring operator
assistance, Reece said.
To make the DDD calls, a
telephone user dials 1 to reach
the recording equipment. He
then dials an area code of three
(812, for example, to get Chi
cago) and finally the telephone
number in the distant city. At
this point, the operator comes
on the line to ask for the call
ing number.
Electronic equipment punch
es into a tape many of the de
tails of the call such as des
tination, time and telephone
number called. The operator
punches in the calling number.
When the call is completed,
the time is recorded on the tape
and all information is on hand
for the computing machines.
From the tape details of ths
call are put on punched cards

Too Many Vitamins
Can Be Harmful
Americans have been re
-1 minded that taking an exces
sive amount of vitamin sup
plements can be harmful.
The Journal of the Ameri
can Medical Association in an
editorial said “the fallacy
’ seems widely disseminated that
' every healthy individual must
consume multivitamin pills” to
obtain an adequate diet.
“On the contrary,” the
i Journal said, “only in a defi
• ciency state or an anticipated
> deficiency state are vitamin
; supplements necessary.
, “Under such circumstances
it is the responsibility of the
I physician to recommend sup
: plementary vitamins, and the
, decision regarding dosage and
. kind of vitamins must reside
a “

1 sorting machines so all calls
charged to a customer’s bill are

Reece said Southern Bell

“ operators need to be discharg
ed to make for this automa

j needed to handle the long dis
tance calls placed person-to

If single or multiple vitamins
are taken without sound clini
cal indications, trouble may ap
pear, the editorial said.
An Overdose of Vitamin A
can lead to loss of appetite, ir
ritability, skin eruptions, or
enlargement of the liver, it
said, and too much Vitamin D
may lead to gastrointestinal
symptoms.
The position of the AM.A.
on vitamin suplements, a*
stated by its Council on Foods
and Nutrition in January
1959, is that “all the nutrienta
essential to the maintenance
of health in the normal in
dividual are supplied by an
adequate diet.”
NEW USES
According to the Southern
Pine Association, nothing has
done more to adapt wood for
modern engineered design than
a drying or seasoning procesa
that “preshrinks” lumber.
Not only is the designer
equipped with uniform sizea
for precise calculations, but he
also has lumber whose strength
has been virtually doubled*
When Southern Pine is grade
marked, the user has assur
ance that the lumber has been
“pre-shrunk” by proper sea
soning.
Wood engineering holds
promise for substantial econo
mies in home construction
through design simplification.
