'Look Up and Live/ says Huiet
“Look up and live,” Commissioner of Labor Ben T.
Huiet reminds Georgians who work near electric lines.
Here. W. S. Pruett, right, of William S. Pruett Con
struction Company, points out a hazard to Commis
sioner Huiet involving a crane and electric lines.
“Carelessness with electricity and irrigation pipes,
derricks, nut poles, TV antennas, drilling rigs, cranes,
scaffolds, house moving, tree trimming and other oper
ations causes accidents which result in needless injury
and death, bringing grief to many Georgia families."
Mr. Huiet said that employers now are legally responsi
ble for the safety of their workers around high-voltage
lines. A new booklet on the subject is available by
writing to the Inspection Division, Georgia Department
of Labor, 287 State I^abor Building, Atlanta 3, Ga.
Old Lands And New People
NOTES ON ISRAEL: The
secretary of a prominent man
whom I visited in the Middle
East is an Arab refugee from
Palestine, or better known as
Israel. She is one of 1,050,000
dispossessed people who were
forced out of Palestine. She
left her home, husband who
joined her later, property,
graves of ancestoral forebears
of a thousand years, all but the
memories of her home land —
and all because the United Na
tions approved and sanctioned
the movement known as Zion
ism in reference to Palestine.
While she was fortunate to
secure work, great hordes live
in camps on bare subsistence.
As far as 1 can learn, these
people have not been reim
bursed for their property de
spite the fact that millions of
dollars are poured into the
Israeli government from
friends in the United States
and elsewhere. And those
friends are so powerful that
these gifts are deductible from
income tax.
Since the Jews in the United
are divided on the question of
Zionism, I am not reluctant to
present the side of anti-Zion
ism. or more accurately, to dis
cuss the issue which resulted

THE COVINGTON NEWS
in the displacement of these
people, most of whom are
Arab.
This great area is an ocean
of sand. You simply cannot un
derstand unless you see it. In
a few places on the edges wat
er is found. Where there is
water, one finds people. The
number of people per square
mile for the vast area is small,
but people cannot survive on
a waterless desert.
The created state of Israel
lies on the southeast coast of
the Mediterranean between
Egypt and Trans-Jordan. This
eastern coast of the Mediter
ranean has always been a so
called bridge where Europeans
entered Asia, or Asians enter
ed Europe; where Africans en
tered Asia, or Asians entered
Africa. Many conquerors have
come and gone or stayed per
haps. These inroads of people
gave to the people here some
of their culture, but those who
stayed were, in the main,
Arabized or absorbed. The ter
ritory known as Palestine was
largely composed of Arabs,
but like all of these people of
this vast area, “they are the
descendents of the indigenous
inhabitants who have been in
the country since the earliest
recorded time with the con
tinuous additions of elements
so similar to those which pro
duced the original population
as to make little difference to
its character.”
The Hebrews, like other Se
mitic tribes, settled in the hill
country of Palestine after long
wandering. Note this from our
Bible. They spoke Semitic di
alect akin to other dwellers of
Palestine. They too were sub
ject to other tribes at times,
and for awhile had their own
state, as in the time of David
and Solomon. They never ex
tended this unchallenged sway
over all of Palestine as we
know from history.
The Moslems recognized the
Jew as the "People of the
Book,’’ believers in God and
not to be persecuted. The Pres
ident of the Islam state of
Lebanon is a Christian. Eighty
thousand of the dispossessed
people are Christians.
All the above is said to say
that Zionism is not a religious
movement but a political move
ment. Look at the record:
Historically, the Arabs did
not drive out the Jews—the
Romans drove out most of the
Jews. Conquerors of countries,
in the main, have never driven
the conquered people out of
their homeland. The people re
mained. Not so here in Pale
stine. By approval of the pow
ers these native Arabs and
others were dispossessed—
driven out, if you please.
COINCIDENCE
It’s quite a coincidence that
lumber, like food, can be much
more palatable with proper
seasoning. In the case of wood,
“seasoning” is a drying pro
cess that “pre-shrinks” lum
ber fefore it’s surfaced to use
size. The process is regarded as
so important to the security of
home owners that the South
ern Pine lumber industry has
made proper seasoning man
datory for all grades of South
ern Pine framing, paneling,
siding, flooring and the like. I

FIRST GRADE
We have been busy all of
this month with our work and
some extra activities. The
two first grades gave a chapel
program and then a few days
later gave the same program
for the P. T. A.
We have been reading in our
science books and have learn
ed about clouds, rain and
snow. Gavlor said she wanted
snow a few davs fm but it
turned out to be ice. S v, » is liv
ing in hopes that it will come
soon.
Our work books are nice and
we eniov them. Someone «nid
thev are like p ouzz’e nnlv they
get harder with each lesson.
Wb°n our teacher asked ns
to tell the news, we thought
about the Valentine party we
are nlanning February 14th.
She had forgotten about that,
imnortant as it is.
The time is nassinc fast since
we can do so much work alon°
anrl before manv months we
will be out of the first grade.
Eight Grade
The sleet, ice and snow
brought the schools of Newton
Countv two unexpected holi
days that were verv acceptable.
These some conditions brought
som” difficulties tn this eighth
grade. There w*>re strange mis.
ci vines about the snail farm in
the Souaresville aquarium. Was
the heater on? w as there
enouch food to last? What hap

Fridav was the dav? How
would Miss Mask tyne reports
for the Hawk when they were
still in student’s notebooks?
Oh. well, Monday morning,
these and many more Questions
had to be answered and things
soon began to roll smoothly.
Recently, manv studies and
interesting activities have cen
tered around the proh’em
“Where are our frontiers?” The
frontiers of the early nine
teenth centurv were studied
and manv first class poems
were produced. Descriptions
were written which were ba«ed
on the film “Drums Along the
Mohawk”. These included in
teresting descriptions of the
fort, the homes, recreation and
battles of these frontier areas.
In science there were interest
ing things to do in the area of
“The Space Frontier”. This
week the class is using the aun
taUon from President Kennedy.
“We stand today on the edge
of a new frontier”, as a study
is made of some present - day
frontiers.
The museum has been stead

pots, says The Progressive
Farmer: 1 Fill pots with good,
loamy soil mixture. 2. Treat
seed to protect against seed
rot and damping-off. 3. Water
heavily the first time —extra
water is to wet the pot. 4
Water plants thoroughly in bed
before moving pots to field. 5.
Cover pots completely with

will act as a “wick”, causing
