Telephone
Talk

PHONING WHILE FLYING. There may soon be a new
dimension to the nation’s telephone system—customers us
ing telephones while flying will be able to talk across the
country.
At present busimessmen using private airplanes are the
principal users.
Two commercial airlines flying in the heavily traveled
northeast quadrant of the U.S., with its 10 developmental
ground stations, have this service now. They are using the
pilot service under a developmental authorization.
This new serviée had its beginning in 1957 when two ex
perimental ground stations—one in Chicago and another
in Detroit—served a number of private planes and com
mercial airliners when they flew in this air corridor.
The Federal Communications Commission is now con
sidering an A. T. & T. proposal for a nationwide air
ground telephone service. This service will operate on six
channels and ground stations will be added on a continual
basis with national coverage, along the major airline
routes, expected to be completed in 1964.

AN ELECTRONIC LARYNX de
veloped by the Bell System gives
voices to people who have lost their
power of speech. This device sub
stitutes for vocal cords in cases
when the larynx has been removed
or is paralyzed. To use it. the in
dividual simply holds the larynx
against his throat, forming words
as in ordinary speech. Sounds are produced electrically
and a finger control allows the user to vary the pitch. The
electronic larynx is sold on a non-profit basis. For further
information, please call your telephone company business
office. . ve
READIN’, 'RITING AND 'RITHMETIC aren’t what
they used to be. Two new High School Science Program
packages, one on magnetism and the other on solar battery
making, will soon be introduced to educators in the South
ern Bell area. These new teaching aids are designed for
use by high school science classes and advanced individual
students. They include text, experimental equipment, and
in the magnefism kit, a motion picture.

LETTERS ARE FINE, but nothing takes the place of a
friendly voice. Next time you want to share good news,
say a cheery hello, remember a friend on a special occa
gion, do it by telephone. It’s so personal! The happiest
way to keep in touch-—across the street . . . or the country!

Age at Cutting
Affects Quality
Os Bermuda Hay
Results of research conduct
ed jointly by scientists at the
Coastal Plain Experiment St
ation at Tifton and the Georgia
Experiment Station near Gris«
fin show that fertilization, time
of cutting, and harvesting met«
hods have very important ef
fects on the value of Coastal
Bermuda grass hay as feed for
dairy cattle.
Where Coastal Bermuda
grass hay is to make up a maj=
or portion of the ration for
dairy eows, a reasonable goal
in quality is production of hay
with a crude fiber content of
about 26 percent on a dry-mat=
ter basis. Such hay would de
mand a cutting interval of bet
ween three and four weeks, ac
ecording to results of feeding
trials conductéd.
When fed four-weéks-oid
| Coastal Bermuda hay, dairy|
heifers made an average daily
| gain of 1.18 pounds per day.
When hay cut at the same age'
| but damaged by rain before
harvest, was fed, average dai]y‘
gains of the heifers dropped to
three-fourths of a pound a day
Delaying the age at -cutting
from four to eight weeks re
duced average daily gain al
| most as much, 0.88 pounds per
| day. Extending cutting to 13
weeks gave a ration which pro
duced no gain in body weight |
| of the heifers. |
On the basis of these results |
[ Drs. M. E. Mc€Cullough and
Glenn W. Burton conclude that
although hay cut between four
and six weeks of age should be ;
suitable f 0 r non-producing |
l dairy cattle, cows in production
should get hay cut at three to
four week intervals. The sci
entists doubt the value of in
cluding hays cut over six weeks
’ of age in a dairying program.

January? Better |
Make Plans Now |
“Workers planning to refire
{in Januaty tmay file their
?c]aims for social security pay
i ments in October,” stated Mr I
{ Engene L. Rawls, Manager Os!
Ethe Atlanta Social Securit,yl
| Office. “A person should come |
lin to the social security officeg
{2 or 3 months before he retires |
| so that his first check will be]
| ready when he is.” 1
| “¥ is not necessary that a!
| person have his birth certificate |
|to get social seeurify beénefits. |
| You should not hesifate to come |
{in to the social security office |
because you don’t have 2 birth
| certificate,” Mr. Rawls said |
| “Many other records of your|
lage are . acceptable. Family |
| Bibles, old insurance policies, |
[ birth certificates of children ||
| whiech show the parent’s age, |
land vofer registration records|
lare often used.” '
| “Many people refire she first
of each yéar. For those of you |
planning te retire in January,
[ now is the time for you to visit|
| your social security office,” |
ladded Mr, Rawls. !

YOTE “NO”
For Legal Beer In Newton County
The Stewart Baptist Church unanimously opposes the Newton County Jaycees and
their endorsement of the legal sale of packaged beer becauseé we feel that the question
is definitely a moral one. We also oppose PACKAGED or UNPACKAGED, LEGAL or
ILLEGAL sale or use of any intoxicating beverage. We wish to maintain that legaliz
ing the sale of beer does not prevent the sale of illegal beer anymore than the repeal
of the 18th Amendment stopped the sale of bootleg whiskey. The fact is that only more
beer will be offered for public consumption, problems will be introduced to the county
that heretofore have not been too great, and the tax doli:rs which seemingly are given
precedent over decency, morality, and sound thinking, will be used to alleviete and rid
our county of the back-lash of multiplied problems that are always bosom companions of
intoxicating drink. e
The perhaps well-meaning, but well-deceived Jaycees make this a contrasting is
sue: that is, the controlled legal selling of beer OR the continued, uncontrolled, illegal
selling of beer, as if the former would discontinue the latter. Then they raise the ques
tion, “Why do we have bootlegging in Newton County?” It is admitted that it is o dif
ficult problem in fighting illegal beer, yet they tell us to solve the problem, we need to -
bring more beer into the county, NOT encourage stronger local enforcement, NOT work
for better state laws, but to subjec't our children and homes and communities to the many
thousands of gallons of beer it would take to raise the so badly needed tax money. This
sounds like cutting off one’s nose to spite the face. The same reasoning might be used
concerning traffic regulations. Since there are some who disobey traffic ordinances, such
as running a stop sign or traffic light, and are never brought to justice, then the logical
thing to do would be to legalize the running of lights and stop signs, and sell permits
to do so. After all the city cannot collect one penny on the unsummoned traffic viele
tors. Then we must raise the question that ordinarily would follow. “Would it be safer
to cross the intersections? By charging ¢ small fee for the privilege of engaging in red
light running, will the hit and run rate be reduced any? Will the innocent taxpaying pe
destrian be protected to a greater extent?”’ Os course not! And neither will the homes,
schools, churches, or any other institution of like character be helped, even though the
county may receive SIOO,OOO dollars in LEGAL blood money. It is our desire that the
people of Newton County vote against legalizing beer, and vote for stronger and better
laws and enforcement of the same, not the breaking down of those principles which help
make ours a good county.
Next, the Jaycees cite the fact that the county is LOSING approximately $50,000
in taxes each year. It is our estimation that this loss is the greatest gain of the year.
It is much better than losing the prestige of being a respected county by God-fearing
people. Losing this tax money is better than losing hundreds of lives on the high
wdys by those who did not learn that LEGAL BEER and gasoline do not mix. This money
is a minute loss when compared to the loss of the virtue and strength of youth, the love
of families, the parents of homes, the respect of womanhood, the manhours of laber,
and most important, the souls of men and women, boys and girls. Satan would delight
no greater than for the good people of Newton to open their county to such @ habit
forming, narcotic, poisonous drug as beer.
A purely materialistic approach is taken by the Jaycees and othér proponents as
they encourage votes for legal beer. They cite the cases of Morgan County, and Rock
dal County and the revenue they bring in. However, it would no doubt be enlightening
to hear the pastors and church leaders of the churches of these counties tell the story
of sadness and sin involved in every nickel that goes into the county treasury as tax
money. It seems that whén the Jaycees invite more beer into the county they look with
blind eyes upon the tragedy of homes where the influénce of beer is felt. Satar téils us
of the many more advantages this county could have with increased taxes through beer,
yet he fails to show the other side, that of filled jails, broken homes, shattered lives, and
tainted communities.
They say that your support for legal beer will greatly benefit Newton County, but
in fact it will be the greatest disservice you could render as a loyal citizen. We invite
your aftentio. to a very stinging, stirring, and shecking verse of scripture:
“WOE UNTO HIM THAT GIVETH HIS NEIGHBOR DRINK . .” Habakkuk 2:15
