Thera has been a great deal
es discussion of late as to
whether property owners
ihould build fall-out shelters
for their own families. Some
have advocated building such
shelters and providing them
with all the necessities for
Survival, including even wea
pons to keep others from in
truding or overcrowding the
quarters. Others object to this,
however, as a savage view
point, and feel it would hard
ly be worth survival to have
to turn a deaf ear to the cries
es neighbors or friends who
might need shelter too.
Soviet Russia, however, is
not the only threat to family
survival. There are other for
ces at work, just as deadly but
generally ignored. When this
writer was a boy, dad read the
Bible and we prayed and gave
thanks to God at every meal.
One result of this is that today
not one in our big family
•hares the fears of the world
as to the atomic bomb.
America as a whole, though,

There Is much stir and bustle,
Everyone is in a hustle.
We hear sleigh bells jingle,
See Miss Lane’s deer and
Chris Kringle.
We are learning carols gay and
bright
To sing on the Bibb Christ
mas Tree night.
We draw bells, trees, packages,
and balls,
Children skip, jump, and hop
through the halls
As if they were Santa’s jump
ing jacks
Or the deer he drives as his
whip cracks.
Eyes with wonder are big and
wide
As a story is told of Christ
mas tide:
How the Wise Men were led by
a star
On their journey from afar.
The Shepherds heard the an
gles sing,
Heralding the birth of the
newborn King,
As there in a manger cradle He
lay
On the very first Christmas
Day.

FOUR ARMY CHAPLAINS who tacrificod their lives when they
gave their life jackets to other servicemen aboard a sinking troop
ship during World War II were awarded, posthumously, a special
Medal for Heroism in ceremonies at Ft Myer, Va recently. The
front (left) and rear (right) designs appear above.
The then-Secretary of the Army Wilbur M Bruckner, represent
ing President Dwight D Eisenhower, made the presentation to
the kin of each chaplain.

The new medal was authorized by Congress especially for
presentation to the four chaplains. In December, 1944, the War
Department awarded them posthumously the Distinguished
Service Cross.
The chaplains, all first lieutenants, were Clark V Poling of
Schenectady, N Y, and Gscrge I Fox of Gilman, Vt, Protestant-
John D Washington of Arling on, N J, Roman Catholic,- and
Alexander D Goode of Marion, Ind, Jewish.

is departing from God and the
Bible. As a result, a constant
ly increasing number of its
families are being broken up
through juvenile delinquency;
alcoholism, divorce, etc.
St. Paul said to the Philip
pian jailor: “Believe on the
Lord Jesus Christ and thou
shalt be saved, and thy house”
(Acts 16:31). This, of course
does not mean that if a man
trusts Christ as his Savior, the
rest of his family will be auto
matically saved. The sense is
rather: “Believe in Christ and
you will be saved, and this goes
for your household too — if
they believe they will be
saved” (Acts 16:31). As Rom.
14:12 says: “Every one of us
shall give an account of him
self to God,” but it is a won
derful fact that nothing will be
so apt to keeping a family to
gether as mutual faith in Christ
and a mutual love of the Bible.
Let’s be more concerned about
this type of family survival.
Let’s make God our “fall-out
shelter.”

Half Os Blind Youngsters
Not Receiving Special Services
The American Foundation
for the Blind reveals that a bom
16,000 blind children are en
rolled in education programs,
where they received the special
services set up by state and
federal governments, but adds
the number of blind youth not
receiving these services may
equal the number who do.
GUNS
Having trouble with glare
from the sun on your front and
rear iron sights? A match will
light the way to solving this
problem. Just run a lighted
match over each sight. The

Gun Safety Instruction
Offered Youth of County
The first phase of a gun
safety program is presently be
ing presented to the older boys
of Ficquett School. This pro
gram is offered in hopes of
selling safety in the handling
of all firearms from the be
ginner’s “BB” on through the
rifles, shotguns, and pistols.
Newton County is most for
tunate in having the very cap
able Rev. Grady Lively of the
First Methodist Church as co
ordinator and head instructor
in the presentation of such an
interesting and educational
program. The program being
oresented is ba=ed on what is
known as the Ten Command
ments of Shooting Safety. Rev.
Lively points out that at least
95 percent of all hunting acci
dents can be prevented. The
first requirements in using any
firearms is to know and prac
tice these common-sense cau
tions.
You must know your gun
and how to operate it properly
and safely. If the goal of this
program is reached and youth
will he Haooy Hunters instead
of “Gun-Happy Hunters.
Our sincere thanks go to the
local gun merchants for their
cooperation in supplying train
ing material for this program.
Special thanks go to Mr. Jack
Christian of Firestone for his
personal services rendered and
to the Sears, Roebuck & Co.
for their supplying an unlimit
ed supply of ammunition for
the firing portion of this pro
gram.

The pantry is a delightful
place. Many friends of the
Church as well as members
have made this a unique booth.
There is even home corned
beef. Pies, cakes, candy cook

relishes, pickled eggs and fro

mouth-watering display.
The Country Kitchen has
been beautifully decorated in
the Christmas manner for the
Bazaar, and the “Kitchen” will

and dinner. Snacks will be
served after the dinner hour
until closing time, 10 p.m.

land rules out petitions to God
in our schools, what will be
the next step?? Will “under
God” be stricken from the
Pledge of Allegiance to our
flag; “so help me God” written
out of oaths of governmental
office; and “In God We Trust”
deleted from our coinage??
Much of our strength has
been undergirded by our great
religious heritage, which we
profess to cherish. Insidious
inroads have already been
made by atheistic force! upon
the power, the thinking and
morality of America, the nomi
nal Christian Nation. Shall we
further cut our veritable life
line by allowing the renuncia
tion of our acknowledged Di
vine Guide tn our schools??
God grant that hosts of other
thinking Americans will join
our Governor and Chief Justice
in standing up to be counted.
The recent gentle rains are
welcomed by both urban and
rural areas. Livestockmen with
thinning, overgrazed pastures
have had to sell cattle ordi
narily held until weight in
creases and better markets as
sured better profits; hayfever,
allergy and sinus victims have
(Largeat Coverage Awy Weekly hi Ike State)
had an unusually uncomforta
ble fall; and fire-fighting units
in city and farm areas breathe
easier, and relax a little from
the rash of calls to fires whicn
increased with the drought.
The danger of fires, reduced
some by the scant rains, is still
acute. Forestry units and con
servationists still warn hunt
ers, hikers, campers and pic
nickers to exercise every pre
caution with fire in the tinder
dry forests and woodland. They
do a splendid job of keeping
down fires; but the average
citizen has a definite responsi
bility in cooperating with
them, by never being guilty of
starting a fire.
Good wishes for an early
recovery wing their way to
Mrs. Henry Anderson in Pied
mont Hospital, who underwent
recent surgery; Mr. Chip King
in our own Newton County
Hospital; Mrs. Joe Heard, Mr.
Walt Piper, Mrs. R. W. Osborn
and Mr. John Mask who are
convalescing at home follow
ing recent hospitalizations at
Newton Co. Hospital. Our
brother, Belmont Dennis’ con
dition at Emory Hospital in At
lanta is slightly improved; and
our hearts bow in prayer for
him and many other dear
friends in illness.
As the tempo of the Christ
mas season is stepped up, and
the Yule lights begin gleaming
from every imaginable type
gadget and bulb; they could
but point up the bleakness in
the hearts of those who bear
burdens of illness, sorrow,
poverty and heartache, except
for one thing. Despite all the
darkness that sometime! closes
in upon us in the dazzling,
man-made brilliance; we find
the Light that never fails; and
the Peace that passeth Under-
standing in Him, Who said, “I
am the Light of the World."
May we as a people, be ever
more diligent in seeking this
Light and His Guidance, as we
approach the saered season
which commemorates His Birth;
even in the least es our tasks,
such as just—“SWEEPIN’ UP”
