Medical Science Is
Making Headway to
Conquer Many Diseases
Mental Illness is no longer hopeless!
We know that medical science backed
by public support has been able to con
quer many dangerous and often fatal di
seases. It is making real headway right
now against the Number 1 problem, Men
tal Illness, because human beings are con
tributing their time, their talents, their
money, and their sympathetic undestand
ing to the fight.
Over at the Newton County Library,
there is an interesting array of books and
pamphlets which can answer many ques
tions dealing with the various facets of
mental illness. They may be checked out
and read leisurely and some of them are
available free at the Newton County De
partment of Public Health.
Take a good look at some titles: ‘‘Mental
Illness, A Guide for the Family,” “New
Hope for the Mentally Retarded Child,”
“Employers’ Attitudes and Practices in the
Hiring of the Ex-Mental Patients,” “Your
Investment in Mental Health is Paying
Off,” “Some Special Problems of Children,
Age Two to Five,” “Couples Who Pray To
gether Stay Together,” “Mental Abilities
of Children,” “Because You Like People,
Choose a Career in Mental Health,” “Brains
Before Bricks,” “Introduction to Exception
al Children,” “Your Health, Sir,” "The
Great Enterprise, Relating Ourselves to
Our World,” “Why, What, How, Citizens’
Guide to Community Mental Health Pro
grams,” ‘‘Report on Visiting the State Hos
pital,” “How A Child-Guidance Clinic Can
Help The Troubled Child,” “Removing
Blocks to Mental Health in School,” and
“Understanding Young Children.”
There is a very interesting film en
titled “You Are Not Alone” which is avail
able from the Georgia Association for Men
tal Health, Inc. for use in club programs or
church socials. Dealing with the problems
of a young executive who encountered ob
stacles which seemed unsurmountable, this
film is a revelation of how frustrated hu
man beings may find essential help. Any
one desiring to use it may contact Miss
Mae Hardman, Publicity Chairman for the
Newton County Mental Health Association,
who will arrange for its use.
When you see the Mental Health Bell
this month, dig a little deeper into your
pocket or purse and share in the research,
education, and treatment to restore fruit
ful life where existence would be other
wise.

Seat Belts Help
Tighten Traffic Tcil
Every year, about 40,000 Americans are
killed in car accidents.
If those figures aren’t grim enough,
then consider this: More than 1,500,000 peo
ple suffer disabling injuries.
According to the American Medical As
sociation, nationwide use of the seat belts
would have saved thousands of lives, dol
lars and untold hours of suffering and
heartache. In fact, the AMA predicts we
could probably save 5.000 lives every year
and reduce the serious injury figures by
^ore than one half.
Today, seat belts are inexpensive and
easy to install — most automobile manufac
turers include belt attachments as standard
equipment.
To the complaint that, “It's too much
trouble to be always fastening and unfast
ening seat belts,” the AMA points out that
belts can be fastened in two seconds flat
and loosened with a flick of the wrist.
Many drivers say they don’t do much
distance driving. But a 1958 survey showed
that 47 percent of all car deaths occurred
at speeds below 40 m. p. h.—and 66 percent
took place within 25 miles of the driver’s
home.
The Covington Rotary Club is sponsor
ing a drive in Covington and Newton
County of the sale and installation of seat
belts. Money derived from this project will
go to the NCHS Band's trip to lowa in June.
Vanity and Vexation
In case you just don’t quite understand
what all the furore over Billie Sol Estes
is about (if anyone does), it begins to look
as if you may have a chance to find out
as Congressional investigations into Mr.
Estes’ remarkable influence and affluence
are launched in both the House and Senate.
More important in the long run, cer
tainly, than the conduct of Mr. Estes, the
investigations should reveal the colossal
vanity and foolishness of farm legislation
by which politicians expect to control both
nature and economics — and outlaw ava
rice. To be of any worthwhile benefit,
these probes must break ground for a sane
approach to the problems of producing
and marketing the bounty of the soil.
An Edison Electric Institute spokes
man, in a report delivered to the Joint
Committtee on Atomic Energy, says that
seven investor-owned nuclear electric pow
er plants will begin operation this year.
That will bring to 12 the number of such
projects in which the investor-owned util
ities are participating.

We have had a number of les

strengthened faith, as well as
divine counsel and new cour
age to meet life in a troubled
time such as the present. We
have studied passages from the
Apostle Paul, the author of the

A. E. Hays Trip To Russia
(Continued From Last Week)
By A. E. HAYS SR.
The Grand Kremlin Palace
includes the great assembly
hall where the Communist Par
ty Congresses are held.
We visited the Lenin- Mauso
leum, which was formerly call
ed the Lenin-Stalin Mausoleum
because the bodies of both Len
in and Stalin were lying next
to one another. Stalin’s body
has recently been placed out
side. The bodies are very well
preserved — looking almost
alive. Recently there has been
an effort to wipe out the
memory of Stalin.
During World War 1 Czar
Nicholas II abdicated and the
Bolsheviks (later called Com
munists) started taking over
the government. By 1921 the
Communists won out in the
civil war. Under the leader
ship of Lenin and Trotsky,
Russia had to work her way
out of many problems. Lenin
died in 1924 and St. Petersburg
was renamed Leningrad. By
1926, Joseph Stalin who was a
native of the republic of
Georgia became the leader of
the Communist Party. On
March 5, 1953, it was an-
nounced that Stalin had died,
four days after he suffered a
paralytic stroke.
(We did not visit Russian
Georgia.)
We visited the giant G. U. M.
Department store which is al
so on Red Square.
Moscow State University in
Lenin Hills is a large modern
University, opened in 1953.
The campus includes 37 build
ings. The 800 ft. tower of the
main building is the tallest
structure in Europe except the
Eiffel Tower in France. Mos
cow University has 18.000 stu
dents (the cream of the crop
in Russia) and 1,200 teachers.
On Monday our plane left at
9 o’clock and reached Soviet
Krasnodar, a city of 371,000,
at 12 o’clock. It is located in an
outstanding agricultural region.
The hotel was quaint but it
had good beds.
During the afternoon we
toured the city. A play pre
sented by school children was
very good. 45.000 school child
ren attend Pioneer Palaces. A
Farm Party program was inter
esting. too.
Tuesday' was a most interest
ing day. We rode for miles to
visit a 45,000 acre collective
tainly to be from the same
pen which wrote the Fourth
Gospel. Compare, for instance,
the similarity in the introduc
tion to this short Epistle and the
beginning of the Gospel of John.
The theme of the first section
of this Epistle, from which our
lesson is taken, is fellowship
with God. Later the Epistle cen
ters around the theme of love,
which is considered as certain
and reliable test of Christian
life and character and will be
considered more fully next
week.
We should bear in mind that
faith is the basis of the Chris
tian life and love is a product.
But true faith is certain to pro
duce a life of love.
We may recall that John did
not always have the love which
he makes so central in this
Epistle and in the Christian
life. He it was who wanted to
call down fire from heaven
to burn up the Samaritan vil
lage where they did not want
farm. There was 1 general
manager and 10 overseers, each
with his own department, such
at cattle, dairy, pigs, grain.
They grow wheat, oats, barley,
rye, alfalfa, rice, corn, silage,
and vegetables. On this farm
there were:
4,600 cattle. 1.300 milk cows,
their own breed( look like our
Holsteins), 7,600 pigs, 5,000
sheep. 65.000 poultry, 3,000
ducks.
They have 65 tractors, 30
combines, 34 large crawler
tractors and 36 trucks. The
overseers have cars but none
of the workers on the farm
own cars.
There are 3,500 workers.
They have 10 trained leaders
for each 200 to 400 workers.
There are 5 nurses and 6 doc
tors.
Taxes take 11-14 per cent of
the earnings — 35 percent is
spent on machinery and build
ings —7 percent to 10 percent
is set aside for pensions.
We were honored at a dinner
while on this farm tour. We en
joyed the talent of the local
performers who entertained us
in the Friendship Building
which was once a church for
the workers on this farm.
An Experiment Station farm
was quite interesting — level
fields, pretty wheat, oats, al
falfa, oil beans as far as you
could see.
Thursday 19. we left by
plane for Rostov on the Don
River in Russia — port city of
over 500.000. 70 percent of its
main buildings were destroy
ed in World War 11. 50,000 were
killed. There were 2 females to
to 1 male of war age left after
the war.)
They are interested in me
chanization and electrification,
and use much machinery. A
dairy farm had milk cows out
at summer camp — pole pens
in prairie. — like field. Milk
ing machines and cooler were
out in the open, several miles
from any building. There was
land as far as you could see
with nothing but windbreaks.
The milking barn was quite a
sight. We would not be al
lowed to ship milk here under
such conditions.
An amusing little incident
occurred during a meal in Ros
tov. One of the men in o u r
group who had a Polaroid ca
mera made a picture of some
waitresses and gave it to them.
They simply couldn't believe
(Our Advertisers Are Assured Os Results)
to give a place to Christ and his
disciples to spend the night. He
had been with the Master for
some time when this happened
and he still did not know the
love which passes all under
standing.
Apparently it took the cross
of Christ, the greatest object
lesson of God’s love, to fill the
heart and life of John with the
overflowing love of Christ
which shines out so brightly in
this letter.
We also remember that the
Apostle Paul was once a great
hater, before he was filled with
the love of Christ. He hated so
deeply that Jerusalem was not
large enough to contain h i s
hatred; he was willing to go all
the way to Damascus to bind
and imprison the followers of
Christ. But after that vision of
Jesus and his love he was
changed into the Apostle who
wrote the greatest hymn of love
ever penned, the thirteenth
chapter of First Corinthians.
Kagawa of Japan was the de
spondent son of an unwed mo
ther, but after he came to
know Christ he could write his
great book, “Love the Law of
Life,” which became a best sel
ler in his own land and also
strengthened the Christian life
of many thousands in America
and other countries as it w a s
translated into English.
This Epistle of John sets
forth a number of tests that we
may apply to our Christian
lives. We should be happy to
do this and to learn how we
may grow in grace.
We are not to apply these
tests in a morbid spirit of in
trospection. We are all sinners
and we could dwell on our
transgressions and failures un
til we develop a guilt complex:
but the object of the writer of
this Epistle is to make us ap
preciate more deeply what we
have in Christ and so to en
able us to take advantage of it.
The Epistle is not meant to tor
ment or discourage the Chris
tian but rather to give him en
couragement and comfort.
In the first four verses of the
letter which precede the printed
text of our lesson, the Apostle
emphasizes the theme of eter
nal life. He means by this more
than endless life or immortality.
The eternal life in Christ is in
finitely broader and deeper, as
well as a higher sphere of liv
ing. We begin to grow in t h i s
life here and make progress
hereafter from glory unto glory.
It is to be expected that the
Apostle would begin in this
their eyes. The manager notic
ed they weren’t waiting on the
tables and reproved them, tell
ing them to get to their tables.
Then he saw the picture and in
his amazement he forgot the ta
bles, too.
We were treated very cor
dially, given a rousing welcome
and farewell. When we went
outside, the sidewalk was
crowded with curious people.
We handed out cards, trinkets,
and gum. They almost fought
for them. As we were getting on
the bus, we saw a man going
through the crowd, taking the
things away from them. Some
were hiding what they had in
their pockets, hurrying away
and waving good-bye to us.

Marines in Asia —
The Only Hope of
Preserving Freedom
By LEO L MALLARD
For the first time in history the U. S. has undertaken a
largescale landing of combat troops on the Southeast Asian
mainland. It is the clearest proof yet that the U. S. has
taken over the tas kof maintaining the security of the en
tire area.
After fifteen years of inter
mittent Communist guerrilla
warfare against Southeast Asia’s
feeble governments, the United
States finally stepped in to
stem the Communist tide. U. S.
Marines pitched their tents on
the plateau along the Mekong
River and quickly established
a defense arc along the frontier
of Communist - infiltrated Laos.
way, for he is the one who re
corded for us the single verse
which Martin Luther said was
the whole gospel wrapped up in
a small package: “For God so
loved the world that He gave
his only begotten Son, that who
soever believeth on him should
not perish, but have everlasting
life” (John 3:16).
In the verses just before
those which we now consider,
John had been talking particu
larly about “life.” Now he turns
to the term “light.” We have
the statement here that “God is
light,” as later in the Epistle we
read that “God is love.” We may
here consider this trinity of the
attributes of God: Life, Light
and Love. In fact, our minds in
stinctively turn to the state
ment of John 1:4: “In him was
life, and the life was the light
of men.”
Since no man has seen God
at any time it is difficult to des
cribe the Almighty and his at
tributes in human language.
The Scripture in many places
uses the simile, or metaphor, of
“light” in speaking about God
and Christ.
In the first place light is pure
and is closely associated with
truth. We speak of “the light
of truth.” We associate light
with things that are pleasant,
warm and beautiful.
cussion. We had a good inter
preter.
Friday night we enjoyed the
circus in Moscow. Supper was
at 10 o’clock.
Saturday we were up at 4
o'clock to go to Warsaw, Po
land. We spent 4 hours at the
airport to get visas cleared be
fore going to bus to get new
ones. Poland, an Iron Curtain
Country, has a population of
over 30 million — Warsaw, its
capital, has 1,200,000. It was
87 percent destroyed in World
War II; 25,000 were killed;
thousands of others carried to
concentration camps. Some are
still in camps. Some old, scar
red buildings are still stand
ing. Some of the new ones are
being built to look like the ones
that were destroyed. We had
lunch at the University.
(Continued Next Week)
Thursday, May 24, 1962
All of Thialand was relieved
to know that the U. S. would
stand by her in case of Com
munist attack. The geographical
key to the entire area is t h e
primitive kingdom of Laos, an
elongated, wedge-shaped na
tion the size of Idaho. Laos bor
ders on virtually every other
country in Southeast Asia and
could serve as a Communist
pathway into all of them.
Here, the U. S. had sought to
establish a neutral buffer state,
but the year-old truce was bro
: ken two weeks ago when the
i Communist - supported Pathet
' Lao rebels retaliated against a
। Royal Army build-up and chas
ed these pro-American forces
out of the whole of northern
Laos — along the Thailand
frontier.
Without committing himself.
President Kennedy ordered the
Seventh Fleet to start toward
Thailand. Two days later the
Thais asked for help and only
then did the President put into
effect a contingency plan that
had been tentatively agre?d on
between McNamara and Thai
land’s ruling Marshal Sarit
Thanarat. The Seventh Fleet
was ordered to land Marines.
No one expected a military
showdown in Southeast. Asia
because of this move, particul
arly with the monsoon season
already beginning to inundate
the area. But there was no de
nying that the move could have
dangerous consequences.
Threats rang out from both
Communist China and Russia,
but the U. S. response was
that its forces had been com
mitted to prevent a war in
Southeast Asia.
President Kennedy’s order to
land Marines in Thailand had
both strategic and political im
plications. To the warring fac
tions in Laos, the U. S. landings
in Thailand were a reminder
that renewed fighting co u1 d
lead to .1 major war — or pos
sibly the partition of Laos.
To the Thais, who have con
sistently maintained a military
alliance with the U. S., t h e
landings provided strong evi
dence that the U. S. would
come to their support when
ever necessary.
To the Chinese, and perhaps
most of all to the Soviets, the
U. S. action was a demonstra
tion that the U. S. has both the
will and the means to move
rapidly to the aid of any small
country whose independence
seems threatened by Commu
nist - supported attack.
The American people have
followed the developments of
the Thailand crisis with grave
concern, yet. they seem to be
behind the President and glad
to know that our country is go
ing to make a military stand,
if necessary, in Southeast Asia.
