A Nation and the World has
been upset over the recent Cu
ban crisis. Now, that some sort
of deal has been made with a
man who says there is n® Go«i,
the world breathe's more easi
ly. yet it remains to tee see®
whether this is a temporary re
spite from the prospect ®f
thermonuclear annihilation @f
the entire human race.
God made the world, man.
•nd every living creature. He
provided for man before he
made man. He planted within
the earth oil, coal gas etc., to
be useful to man. He made the
soil fertile that we might grow
our food. He sent His Son, to
map the pathway we should
follow . ..and willed that he
should suffer, bleed and die on
the Cross that our sins might
be forgiven. When Christ went
• way, His disciples were sorely
grieved, but he promised to
send them a Comforter, in the
form of the Holy Spirit to guide
them. God, His Son, and the
Holy Spirit are one. Christ ex
plained that when he was here
as man, he could only cover a
email area, but as Holy Spirit
could dwell with all me®
everywhere.
Somehow, in this world cri
eis. we believe the time is now
tipe for all mankind to recog
nize the bhree-in-one. and ac
cept Jesus as their Saviour. If
the U.S. could only condemn
Communism, in their agree
ment, sending missionaries , . .

listened attentively while Mr. I
Bradley said that the need for
Civil Defense and Personal
Preparation will exist for
months and years, and it could
be our way of life. He remind

Farmers, hunters, fishermen

Any person discovering a fire

“Our eradication efforts are.

if not more important to guard
against reinfestation in treated

Davis Infant Makes Debut in Life
And News with Two Front Teeth
There’* one pretty little Mtss
who definitely will not be
singing. “All 1 Want for Christ
mas is My Two Front Teeth”!
Partly because she isn’t talk
ing yet; but, primarily because
she was born with said teeth in
the first place! She is Anna
Lynn Davis, infant daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Willie Tom
(Billy) Davis of 111 Green St.
Little blue eyed Anna Lynn
not only made her debut in the
news with those two tiny low
er front teeth, but scored a
Bloodmobile Visit
Set for Porterdale
PORTERDALE — “Are YOU
giving a pint of blood to the
I Red Cross on its visit to Porter
i dale on Friday, November •?”
If not, it is most important that
you give this question careful
consideration. The quota for
this bloodmobile visit is 110
pints The time is 11:00 a m
to 6:00 p. m.
As Newton County did not
reach the quota of 160 on the
last visit held September 27,
the county is now on what is
called “individual family cov
erage”. Therefore, it is even
more vital that each family
make their contribution on
November 9
Upon your visit to the
Anderson Building wheie the
Bloodmobile will be *et up. if
; you give a pint of blood, you
will receive a card guarantee
i ing coverage for your family
| for the next six months. If you
offer to become a donor and
are rejected, you will receive a
credit card for three months
coveiage Surely, 110 persons
will answer this call for help
and if additional persons share
this responsibility the entire
county can be restored to full
coverage,
Blood is a community's res
ponsibility • and every eligible
citizen should feel his or her
personal responsibility!
All citizens who are willing
I to give blood and/or time are
urged to mark this date on thei
calendar. You may contact Mise

pital, where she in tire first baby
on record with pre-natal teeth.
Upon arrival, she weighed five
pounds, fourteen and a half
ounces; and is a “living doll”
in its truest meaning. She al
most made her eleven year old
brother, Stanley’s birthday a
mutual one—missing it by only
one day; his is October 14. and
she arrived on Saturday, Octo
ber 13. The fact that she is the
namesake of her two grand
mothers serves further to make
a very special little girl in both
of her parents’ families.
In an interview with local
dentists, it was revealed that
the incident of babies born with
teeth was rare In such cases
the teeth, if normal baby teeth,
are allowed to continue their
growth. However, if later x
ray* show them to be supernu
merary, or in addition to the
normal number of teeth, then
they are usually removed when
the baby is older, to avoid com
plications with normal teeth

In any event Little Lynn has
stolen the show in the Davis
household: and Mrs. Davis says
Mr. Davis, member of the City
Light Department, has already
forgotten all of his good reso
