Like most folks I sit around
and let things gi'avitate with
out paying much attention to
what is going on till all of a
sudden something rises up in
front of me and I almost smash
my nose against it, in surprise.
For months I've been hear
ing references to a new con
cern to open up soon, but I
rarely go further than the post
office on Main Street, when I
go to town, so I had no idea
of what I was going to see
when I was invited to the op
ening of The DeKalb County
Federal Savings and Loan As
sociation last Friday.
If you had dropped me into
Disneyland, I would not have
been much more astonished!
What had been a pavement of
rough scrabble, the last time

turned, over-night, into a love
ly green sward by transfer
ring grassy sod. and springing
up in the midst of a sparkling
fountain played in the sun and
electric light. Before I could
get my breath I was ushered
into the rotunda of the un
believable beautiful building
where I was welcomed by Miss
Quilla Burks, of Decatur, who
was helping the local staff do
the honors. She escorted me all
through the lovely building, so
perfect in its efficient appoint
ments and so extra-ordinarily
commodions. on downstairs to
the back entrance where those
coming in cars can drive up
safely, rain or shine, then on
to the refreshment room,
where we were served delic

niques distinguish the standard-size, low-price Dodge for 1964. Buyers have a choice

Burks would stop and present
me to high up officers both
from Decatur and local. With
my poor hearing, and active
forgetery, I wondered how I’d
ever do the proper thing when
it came to saying goodby! 1
insisted, however on Miss
Burks’ leaving me and my bro
ther, Mark Twain at the re
freshment table, as she was
i needed elsewhere.
When we came upstairs and
wondered around, some more
j in the spacious divisions. I de
cide it was time to make my
| adieus to the manager and
wondered what to call him. I
asked a young lady to direct
me to him, and almost lost my
voice when she led me into the
office and pointed out the
“manager” who was my own
particular favorite, Billie Bond
Sims! Somehow I had not
। heard that he had been chosen
for this place. So I forgot all
the polite phrases I had
j thought up and had no trou
j ble conveying the honor con
fered upon him. He is a migh
ty young man for such a re
sponsible position, but he'll
prove himself worthy of the
trust. He comes from good
stock. I never knew a descen
dent of Mr. Simp Sims and
"Miss Ann Prather'’, who ever
failed to measure up to the
| confidence placed in him, or
i her. So we can expect "Billie”
jto carry the burden and grow
j strong and sturdy as he mar
ches forward and grows with
Conyers.
Best wishes to the new com
pany. Long may it prosper.

J It is a rewarding experience
THE COVINGTON NEWS
to get far enough from one’s
own country to get a prospec
tive view of it, and compare it
with other lands. For about 40
years, I had this privilege and
to tell the honest truth, for
most of that time I could be
proud of the comparison. This
period began back yonder al
most 70 years ago; and at that
time the American home was a
pretty solid unit, with the
father the head of the house
and the mother queen of the
home, with the children subject
to control and supposedly not
free till 21 years of age.
In school students were sub
ject to government and correc
tion by teachers. Politics and
general civic government were
in the hands of mature citizens.
I remember how disgusted I
was by reports of student up
risings and revolts! I could not
imagine any such thing hap
pening in America! I could
proudly say: "Such a condition
would not be tolerated in the
U. S. A.”
But, who could be proud of
the disgraceful things practiced
by students in America today?
Every paper we pick up carries
glaring headlines about student
strikes and riots!
Then to cap it all, just con
sider the disgraceful spectacle
even in our Congressional halls
with a group of students de
fying a committee of Congress,
and breaking up the session!
How has such a condition
come about? Who is responsible
*
( for it? The change didn’t come
in a day. It has come about
gradually. Each generation has
grown more lax in family
government. Partly because it
was too much trouble to control
Johnny and Mary, partly be
cause the neighbors children
were not controlled.
Then came the lowering of
the military age, then, if John
ny could fight he should be
allowed to vote, and so forth
and so on.
With the slipping of these
controls came the adolescent,
slipping of moral standards,
and shirking of responsibility. '
Undeveloped youth wants free
dom minus the responsibility j
required to make freedom safe. |
That is the trouble with our
land today. Everybody de
mands freedom, even if it takes
civil disobedience (or law
breaking) to get it, but they do
not recognize their obligation
to assume the responsibility of ;
preserving law and order, as a
means of guaranteeing freedom ;
for all.
Things seem pretty hopeless,
but man's extrinity is God's op
portunity, and as He spoke to
His erring people long ago by :
His prophet Isaiah, He speaks
to us today:
“Come let us reason together
saith the Lord, though your
sins be as scarlet they shall be
as white as snow, though they
be red like crimson, they shall
be as wool. If ye be willing and
obedient ye shall eat the good of
the land.’’
If all of us who profess to
believe in God will turn truely ■
to Him, and repent of our evil
ways - He will overcome the
evil in our land and heal our
nation.
Let us pray and believe.

Time was when a man's
word was as good as his bond.
(That is still true!) At that
time, the saying meant that a
man was so honest that it was
not necessary for him to give a
legally written out bond. He'd
pay the debt even if there
were no record of it.
What has become of that
characteristic of honesty? I am
sure that there are still among
us men whose word can be
trusted completely, but just
look at the way people are re
ported as saying one thing to
day, and tomorrow confess they
lied! Which of his statements
is a body to accept? For me,
neither one.
Unless we turn to the old
question: “Is a man a liar, if
he says he tells lies?” — If
he tells a lie. and then says he
is a liar, he is telling the truth
and therefore, is not a liar! But
can he be trusted in anything :
that he says?
To lie is. to decieve and any j
one who deceives is a liar. In '
the 15th Psalm, we find a per- i
feet description of an HONEST
j man: "Lord, who shall abide in
thy tabernacle? Who shall
! dwell in thy holy hill? — He
I that walketh uprightly, and
worketh righteousness, and
speaketh the truth in his heart.
He that backbiteth not with his
■ tongue, nor doeth evil to his |
I neighbor, nor taketh up a re-
I proach against his neighbor. In
i whose eyes a vile person is
condemned, but he honoreth
. them that fear the Lord. He
that sweareth to his own hurt,
and changeth not. He that put
teth not out his money to
usury, nor taketh a reward
against the innocent. He that
doeth these things shall never
be moved.”
What a treasure to have
I such a person as a friend! It is
' still true that a man's word is
i as good as his bond! If his word
i is no good, neither is his bond,
and no one can do business
with him.
Our country has shipped a
long way from the stalwart
honesty of our forefathers, and
the slide can only be stopped
by the concerted action of those
who are willing to suffer the
consequences of truthful liv
ing banding together to make
our country w’hat it should be,
and can be if we make it so.
Let us each examine his or
her life by the plumb line of
_he 15th Psalm, and bring our
daily life in line with it.
.jet’s speak the truth in out
hearts.

Animal Health
This is the time of year when
respiratory diseases of cattle be
gin to appear again.
One point to remember about
such diseases is that they can oc
cur singly or in combination. This
can lead to confusion and sub
stantial losses unless a prompt
diagnosis is obtained.
One of the most costly of these
diseases in recent years has been
infectious bovine rhinotracheitis
(IBR), also known as "red nose.”
Generally this disease affects 25
to 100 per cent of the cattle in a
feedlot.
Fortunately the death loss is
low in most cases, but IBR does
cause a sharp loss of weight and
condition. This really hits the
farmer’s pocketbook because the
ailing cattle must be fed longer to
reach market condition. Among
dairy cattle, a similar loss comes
in lowered milk production.
Watch out for respiratory
diseases. They can run up
feeding costs enormously.
IBR is only one of the respira
tory diseases with which cattle
raisers need to be concerned.
Some of the others include bo
vine virus diarrhea, malignant
catarrhal fever, ulcerative stoma
titis, bovine para influenza 3 and
sporadic mucosal disease.
In general, symptoms of the
various respiratory diseases of
cattle look a lot alike. They in
clude a nasal discharge, fever,
rapid breathing, loss of appetite,
depression, excessive drooling and
scouring. A low, throaty cough
also may be noticed.
Because these respiratory dis
eases do resemble each other a
veterinarian should be called to
make a diagnosis at the first signs
of sickness. This also will help
spot any secondary bacterial in
fections which can sometimes com
plicate the situation seriously.
