Newton Countians
Aid Jolley
Home Children
A number of business
♦rienda and Newton Countians
responded warmly this year to
a financial request for Geor
fia needy children .located at
he Jolley Home, Inc., Con
yers, Georgia. Jolley Home has
almost one-hundred children,
and has been operating on such
free will gifts since it was
established as a child caring
institution in May of 1947.
Such Homes in Georgia have
cut down considerably on ju
venile delinquency, and have
thereby saved many tax dol
lars that would otherwise be
•pent on corrective and other
penal institutions.
Jolley Home is the estate of
former actress Colleen Moore;
no private group supplies the
entire needs of the Home, and
farming has been one of the
ways they have helped them
selves. It would be helpful to
them if each reader will kind
ly clip this article and mail it
•to them.
Jolley Home is a haven for
orphan, homeless, and under
privileged children; children
are served from many parts of
Georgia, and aid is offered re
gardless of Church denomina
tion. Some of them have become
outstanding in sports, scho
lastics, and in business. As is
true in various other worth
while similar institutions
throughout the state of Georgia,
there is a need for more funds
to help needy children at near
by Jolley Home. Gifts of SI.OO
I or more are appreciated and
acknowledged, and private
citizens are welcome to partici
pate. Visitors are cordially in
vited; the mailing address is

Seapower Is An Asset
Seapower was as important
an asset to nations 100 years
ago as it is the mainstay of our
national defense today. What
were the beginnings of the sea
power of the Confederacy?
In November, 1860 it became
perfectly clear that the people
of South Carolina were deter
mined upon a separation from
the Union. It was then that
President Buchanan and h i s
Cabinet, on the one side, and
Governor Gist, on the other,
began to consider what policy
should be adopted in regard to
the public property in Charles
ton.
At this time plans were be
ing made in the South to form
the Confederate Navy. Con
federate privateers played a
large part in launching this Na
vy 100 years ago.
Georgia Patrol Warns Os Bad
Weather Ahead For Travel
From here on out to year’s
end, motorists will be facing
perhaps the most hazardous
conditions for traveling of any
like period on the calendar, ac
cording to the Georgia Depart
ment of Public Safety. Tradi
tionally, November and Dec
ember produce more traffic
deaths than other months be
cause of shorter days, heavier
holiday travel and bad weather
conditions, according to records.
With this in mind, Col. Wil
liam P. Trotter, state safety di
rector, has issued an appeal to
all motorists to be especially
careful and sensible in travel
ing over Georgia highways and
streets. Accidents and resultant
deaths can be prevented if each
individual driver will do h i s
part, he said.
During November and De
cember last year 171 oersons
lost their lives in traffic acci
dents in Georgia, 138 of them in
rural areas and 33 urban areas,
the department records show.
Forty -two of those killed
were pedestrians. By mid-No-

THE PERSON GOD USES
A man stood on the outskirts j
of the city, surrounded by an
angry mob. The mob was
throwing stones, screaming, and ;
hurling abuses at him. He had .
been condemned to death by
the Jewish council and sen
tenced to execution by stoning.
Why was this man. whose
name was Stephen, being
stoned? He had robbed no
banks; be had murdered no one.
He had committed no crimes.
Instead, he had been proving
for the healing of the sick —
performing miracles of deliver
ance among the »eedy people
of his day.
He was not a minister but a
lavman. However, the Bible
says be was full of faith. He
was willing to do anything he I
could through the Spirit of God. I
There was nothing too big or
too little for him to do.
Stephen had felt the call of i
the Lord and had gone out to,
help people. But as he minis- ’
tered to them, a great host of
the Jewish leaders became
jealous of him and made up
lies about him. They said that
Stephen had blasphemed God.
which was a capital crime under j
Jewish law.
Even as the mob testified
against him, Stephen testified to
them of his love for God. They j
became so incensed toward him ;
that they fell upon him and be- j
gan to stone him. But Stephen ,

vember this year 37 persons
had been killed, one less than
a year ago.
At the same time, Col. Trot
ter released the Accident Re
porting Division's consolidated
statistics for the first ten
months of 1960. Indications are
that instead of reducing last
year’s traffic death toll by 100,
which was the State Patrol’s
goal, the year likely will end up
with an increase of more than ,
50 fatalities.
Here’s what the ten-month
report showed: 852 deaths com
pared with 824 a year ago, an
increase of 28, or three per cent.
Rural deaths totaled 672, an in
crease of 34, or five per cent,
while urban area deaths (180)
dropped by six, a reduction of
three per cent. There were 148
pedestrians killed throughout
the state, an increase of three,
or a plus two per cent.
During this year's ten-month
period there were 75,356 more

“I see Jesus, standing on th*

’ This is the kind of person

is a person God can use.
I Many people were to die for
Christ after Stephen, but he
was the first. The first martyr
was not an apostle or a preacher,
, but a layman. Many people feel
' that because they are not
ministers they can do nothing
for God. But this is untrue
The Bible teaches that God wiß

for Him and display a love for
people. Everybody has some
thing to say and do for God.
