the pie! The directions said..
“Now let this stand for ONE
HOUR before pouring into the
crust.” Well! That was it! We
read on and it said after stand
ing one hour, bake for 45 min
utes. No we did not have Chess
Pie for lunch but it surely was
good about the middle of the
afternoon,
. This 1s truly a great tribute
(the Magazine) to the paper,
and to all those great writers
who have contributed to it's
success. We are grateful to
Yolande for our early section.
Moral: Read your recipes all
the way through carefully be
fore you start on one.
Miss Guinn is one who gives
herself unstintingly to our or=
ganizations, and sees io their
publicity. What would a Gar
den Club Convention be with=
out her? To say nothing of all
the other activities. The Jour
nal-Constitution is fortunate
in having her on it's wonderful
staff of workers.
Our hearts are saddened
sver the passing of the father
of our Sunday School Superin
tendent Mark Davis. We join
the Church, Sunday School and
hosts of friends in heartfelt
sympathy. Only those who have
walked this pathway truly
know how to sympathize,
Our heartfelt sympathy also
goes to Rev. John B. Tate, of
LaGrange, in the passing of
that wonderful wife who is at
his side most always, at Salem
Tamp Ground, where he leads
the singing so wonderfully each
year,
She will be missed all over
Georgia, for she did a wonder
ful work in her Methodist
Church at LaGrange and over
the state. There is nothing
more rewarding than working
with young people. We have
done the same work in our
church and Stone Mountain
Association, and know the jov
which was hers. She will ever
live in the hearts of all who
knew her, and especially in the
lives of the youth of the State
in the Methodist Church.
Our hearts beat as ene on the
Cuban situation! Our Internat
foral Sunday School Lesson is
on “The Holy Spirit” for Sun
day. Experienced preachers and
teachers are agreed that Christ
ian people are generally more
limited in their knowledge of
the Holy Spirit than of any
jother great doetrine of the
‘Christian faith. It is time tha!
we studied to show ourselves
approved. We only wish the
Russian People and Commun
ists KNEW the Heavenly Fat
ther and the Holy Spirit. What a
different world it would be. [*
is shocking that Cubans would
drop their religion for Com
munism, where there is no God.
We face this people now, with
out a God, or they have shut
their eyes, and turned their
back on Him. We have been
reading of God’s great evan
gelist, Billy Graham, in for
eign countries, and how, by the
thousands they are joining
God’s Church. But, when he
leaves there who will follow up
and teach these people of God
and His blessings upon those
who believe in the Lord Jesug
Christ? Our nations would do
well to spend a few billions of
deollars to send Missionaries
instead of missiles. Let us pray
that the Holy Spirit wiil des
cend upon the United Nations,
and all peoples everywhere...
and so shake their souls that
they will yearn for love, under
standing, peace in loving our
neighbor as ourself.
If God is to bless us right
here at home we must remem-

Tax Revaluation
Continued From Page 1
ton County that is presently
being taxed.
In 1861 the total tax receipts
amounted to $486,165.12 which
went to pay for scheels, county
operation, and bonds. In 1963
the net digest will be up $600,-
000 which is an increase of
3 1/2 percent.
Taxes were up two mills in
Newton County this year.
There has been a steady rise
in taxes during the last 10
years from 33 3/4 mills in
1952 to the present 49 1/2 mills
this year. This is almost a 50
percent increase in taxes dur
ing the last decade.
TAX DIFFERENCES
New homes in Newton Coun
ty are being taxed approxi
mately 25 to 30 percent of their
market value. The most in
equality in taxation effects re
cent home owners. Older
homes, from 15 te 20 years
old, are generally taxed at 10
to 12 percent of their original
market value.
Some farm land in the eoun
ty is being taxed a maximum
of S2O to $25 an acre while
the overall average tax pres
ently being levied on land is
from sl2 te sl4 per aere. The
minimum tax being levied on
any land in the county is $6.50
per acre.
New industry in Newton
County is heing taxed at ap
proximately 18 1/2 percent of
the cost value of the plant,
machinery, and raw materials.
Older industries in the county
are not being taxed on a per
centage basis because it is
claimed that the actual cost is
not known.
It must be pointed out that
when a new industry surveys
a count yin whieh it antim-l
pates building a plant, a tax
valuation system such as the
one existing in Newton County
is generally frowned upon.
In Troup County a tax equa
lization program was needed‘
in order to bring tax records
up to date and to equalize as
sessments. A professional tax
appraisal firm was retained for
the job. Upon completion the‘
Troup County tax digest was
increased approximately $7,-
000,000 and the tax ievy was
reduced five mills. The result
ing broader tax base enabled
Troup County to recover thei
costs of the tax equalization
and lower the amount of taxes
paid by many citizens. 1

Safety In the Home

Q. Is it safe to use charcoal
lighter fluid to ignite dry leaves
raked from the lawn?
A. Yes, if you abserve nor
mal precautions for using such
fire starters. You should never
pour fluid on the leaves after
the fire is started. It is alsp a
good idea to light the leaves
with a long taper rather than
a match. Keep children and
pets away and do not let your
clothing get too near the flam=
es. Never use gasoline or kero-
(Our Adyertisers Are Assured Os Results)
sene for fires. Both
gasoline Mcmene have @8
lower flash point than char
coal lighter fluid and may sud
denly burst into flame.
Q. I have recently replaced
all of the light switches in my
home with mercury noisless
ones. Are these hazardous?
A. It is true that mercury
can give off highly poisonous
vapors. Mercury switches have
been on the market for sever
al years and have been ap
proved by Underwriters’ La
boratories. An official of UL
says that when a short eircuit
occurs the switches are slight
ly cracked. Because of their
lecation, however, they should
offer ne serious danger.
Q. Are Halloween costumes
for children flame-proof?
A, Modst za,uov;fiea cosfumes
are made a flimsy, gau
fabric which would bura ll:{
a torch. Some manufacturers
give their costumes a flame
retardant treatment, reducing
the hazards. When buying Hal
loween costumes he sure to
check the labels to see if they
have been treated. You may
also buy flame retardant spray
to treat costumes or you may
make your own flame retardant
solution by mixing four ounces
of boric acid in a gallon of
warm water. Dip the costumes
in the selution, wring by hand
hang to dry. Repeat after wash-

ing costumes.
Q. [ am going o repdint some
used furniture to place im the
roem for my twae children whe
are one and three years of age.
Is there a danger of lgad poiss
oning?
A. Lead poisoning is 3 dan
ger to young children. a is
usually caused by the fls
chewing en materials eev
with paint that contains lead.
Be sure the paint you use dees
not contain any lead because
yvoung children will often Shew
on the furniture.
