simple enough to corral the
kids and their new toys into the
family car and set out on an an
ticipated joyful trip — but
quite another to get there safe
ly and without expensive trou
ble.
If the holiday spirits are too
much with you, let this wife
drive. It is not enough to have
a cup of black coffee and with
that false security set out to
endanger not only your family
but other holiday travelers.
And neither is it enough to
proceed under the false secur
ity that the old family buggy
is in fine shape and needs no
checking. No driver is safer
than the machine he drives.
During the holiday period,
you’ll find service stations giv
ing a thorough inspection to
your car with free safety
checks. But just in case your
dealer fails to do a complete
job, ask him to check the car’s
electrical system (baVery, volt
age regulator, generator and
wiring.)
The American Automobile
Association reports that electri
cal system failures accounted
for over 15 million calls to its
service garages last year.
See that the anti-freeze is
re-checked and when this is
done the engine should be
warm. Read the tester on sev
eral fillings, sometimes a sin
gle check is misleading.
The cooling system compon
ents should be checked for
signs of deterioration. Why
take a chance on disrupting a
pleasant trip with a leaking
hose or a malfunctioning ther
mostat.
The exhaust system, wind
shield wipers, headlamos and
defrosters can be checked in a
few minutes.
And if all that sounds ex
pensive. it may be because
you’re just not informed about
basic car care problems. If you
can lay a hand on the manual
which came with your car, re
read it!
Actually, very little may be
found wrong with your car in
such an inspection, but think of
the peace of mind an inspection
will provide. And if something
is amiss you’ll be glad to have
discovered it before setting out
on a holiday trip.
And any defect or other
needs discovered during t h e
check will cost much less to
handle now than later. If you’ve
ever needed emergency repairs
on the road, you know how ex
pensive that can be.
Won’t it be nice to drive out
on your holiday trip with your
family without having to worry
about your car?
Almost any service station
will check your car over. It may
be that ounce of prevention.

Dr. J. Hamby Barton, Jr. Was
Speaker At Laymen's Retreat
Lay representation was a
chief issue at the North Geor
gia Conference laymen's retreat
and workshop held in Athens
Dec. 2-4. In addition to lay
leadership in the annual con
ference and on district boards,
about 100 laymen discussed
every facet of the Methodist
Church’s 1960 - 64 program.
Discussion of lay representa
tion came on the heels of a
Sat. address by Dr. J. Hamby
Barton Jr., academic adminis
trator at Emorv-at-Oxford Col
lege. Barton outlined the his
tory and growth of Methodism
in the United States with par
ticular emphasis on the lay
man’s role. He pointed out that
the Methodist Church was nur
tured by laymen in its early be
ginings.
He said that the Methodist
Church is a “lay church” today
rather than “clerical church”
because many supply ministers
serving in the various annual
conferences are laymen. He em
nhasized that this should give
the layman more representation
in the annual conference be
cause an equal number of lay
and clerical delegates are elect
ed to annual conference, but
several of the clerical delegates
(supply pastors) are actually
laymen.
Dr. Barton said that failure
of the lavman to accept h i s
role in the annual conference
and in other parts of the church
brings about weak lay repre
sentation. Several district su
perintendents at the retreat -
workshop declared that they
would like to see stronger re
presentation of the laity be
cause “the church is made
stronger by it.”
After a lengthy discussion it
was decided that definite pro
gram should be formulated to
inform and interest laymen in
the affairs of the Methodist
Church.
Strong emphasis was placed
on meeting dates and times.
Several laymen said that meet
ings were usually scheduled in
the morning or at some other
“impossible time” when lay
men cannot attend.

gia church leaders heard re

Home For
Yule Holidays
Early Christmas leaves for
the cadets at the McCallie
School, Chattanooga, began
Tuesday afternoon for those
boys who had earned special
privilege ratings. AH classes
ended at noon Friday, when
the holidays officially began.
The number, however, who
will be allowed the three ex
tra days is limited. Many oth
ers departed Wednesday and
still others Thursday, with the
majority leaving after classes
on Friday.
The students will return to
Chattanooga on Tuesday, Jan.
3, and classes will resume on
Jan. 4.

Dead Pine
Needles No
Cause For Alarm
Dead needles in pine trees
aren’t necessarily cause Tor
alarm. It’s probably just Moth
er Nature doing her annual
chore. Forester George D.
Walker of the University of
Georgia Agricultural Exten
sion Service said this week.
Many people become alarm
ed when dead needles begin to
i appear on their trees in the
fall, and the brown foliage
' seems to be exceptionally no
( ticeable this year, Mr. Walker
I said.
He advised persons who are
concerned about this to look
I closely at their trees:
“If the dead needles are those
fartherest from the tip of the
branch it indicates natural
| shedding. As long as the need
। les at the branch tips are
green, there is little to worry
I about.”
Entire branches die occa
: sionally due to shading, which
' is natural as trees grow older
and larger, he added.
If needles at the tips of
branches begin to die, it would
be a good idea to consult the
county agent or a forester who
can check for insect or disease
damage, Mr. Walker said.

and Finance and the South
eastern Jurisdictional Council.
Dr. Nat Long, chairman of
the North Georgia Commission
on World Service and Finance,
explained what World Service
is and what it does. He gave the
laymen a complete breakdown
and analysis of apportionments
and causes for 1960-61. He told
the group that the Methodist
Church’s annual World Service
budget for 1960-64 is $15,000,-
000.
Dr. James W. Sells, executive
secretary of the Southeastern
Jurisdictional Council, outlined
the lay program for the South
eastern Jurisdiction. He said
that a good lay program must
include the following: (1) A
conference wide weekend re
treat in every conference for
laymen for inspiration and in
formation; (2) A district one
day retreat for laymen; (3) A
district workshop on steward
ship and tithing for ministers
and laymen; (4) A conference
wide program to support ste-

An every member visitation
program in every local church.
John Whatley, associate con
ference lay leader and president
of Rotary International, spoke
Saturday afternoon on every
member visitation. In addition
to outlining a program for the
local church, he emphasized
that the church’s program of
stewardship and finance can
not be effectively executed
without an every member visi
tation campaign in every local
church.
Bishop John Owen Smith de
livered the keynote address for
the meeting on Saturday night.
Centering his speech on “the
power that is the Methodist
Church’s” he said Methodist
must: (1) “See the power that
we are. . .;” (2) “Become in
creasingly informed about the
total program of Methodism;”
(3) “. . . care a little more about
the world;” (4) ... think of
things in terms of flesh and
blood rather than programs,”
(5) “ . . . remind ourselves of
this matter of Christian wit
ness.”
