School Bond Issue Must Pass
An investment in educational facilities for our
children is the greatest gift that can be bestowed
on them by this generation. A good education
is a must if children are to live and compete for
employment in our society.
Next Wednesday, June 22, the people of Newton
County will vote on a school bond issue that calls
for $360,000. The passage of this bond issue will
enable the Newton County Board of Education to
receive $451,000 from state funds during the 1966-
1967 school year. This will make a total of SBII,OOO
available for school construction and needed re
pairs.
This bond issue will also provide money for a
vocational high school building in our county.
The State Department of Education will grant
SIIB,OOO to equip the vocational high school if
Newton County will construct the building from
local funds. These local funds will come from
the bond issue that is to be voted on next Wednes
day.
Let us not think of this bond issue as another
cost, but rather as an investment in our own
county and its young people. This investment
will pay off in more industry for our county as
our educational facilities turn out qualified workers
to fill the positions that industry has to offer.
This vocational liigh school building will carry
first priority if the school bond issue passes.
Newton County was one of seven school systems
in the state selected for this complimentary high
school program.
A Free Press For The People Os America
The close relationship that naturally exists bet
ween readers and newspapers needs to be better
understood and cultivated by both sides of this
partnership, but more so by readers and the gen
eral public.
The constitutional right to a free press belongs
to the people of the United States—those who sub
scribe to and buy newspapers and those who ad
vertise in them. Without these free and independent
readers and advertisers, there could be no free
press as we know it. There would be no freedom
to seek and report the news; no freedom to express
opinions and even criticize when necessary; no
freedom to advertise honestly.
The right of a free press also places great
responsibility upon newspapers to be accurate,
honest, fair and truthful at all times. Newspapers
today do a better job of this than ever before in our
nation's history, despite new and difficult problems
in getting, printing and commenting on the news of
the aay around the world and in every community.
It is not easy for newspapers to collect, report
and comment on fast-breaking events. Nor is it

This bond issue will allow other additions to be
built at existing schools throughout the county ac
cording to the demands of the enrollment. The
passage of this bond issue will enable the Newton
County Board of Education to construct buildings
in the amount of SBII,OOO at a cost to the tax
payers of Newton County of only $360,000.
Sure the people of Newton County are expected
to bear part of the burden of the cost of these
facilities. But remember this, the state allotted
funds are in reality your tax money. If you don’t
do your part to help bring it back into Newton
County to educate your own children then we are
sure that it will be welcomed by some other
progressive county while the educational needs
of our children go lacking.
We believe that the people of this county want
this bond issue to pass. The only thing that will
stop its passage will be the indifference of our
citizenry to GET OUT AND VOTE. If you are
going to be out of town then vote by ABSENTEE
BALLOT. The children of Newton County need
your vote to insure them of adequate educational
facilities.
We strongly urge the people of this county to
turn out and VOTE FOR THE SCHOOL BOND
ISSUE. Education is the key to success and we
must not deprive our children of the facilities
needed to get a good education by our failure
to pass this school bond issue. The vote on this
important issue will be next Wednesday, June 22.
VOTE FOR OUR CHILDREN’S FUTURE!
easy for readers to always understand what is
reported and why. But it is very important that
both newspapers and readers understand clearly
the role of each other as “partners in freedom”.
It is also important that readers understand
how newspapers can make a sizable difference in
peoples’ lives if they will use the wide variety of
information that is in newspapers to the fullest
degree possible.
Too few readers realize today’s newspaper is a
“living textbook” for adult and younger readers;
a reporter of modern history; a guide to community
events and actions; a marketplace of ideas on many
subjects, opinions and merchandise, a chronicle of
social life, sports events and entertainment; an ad
viser to teenagers; a time-saver for housewives;
a financial guide for stockholders; a counselor on
the weather; a critic on the theater; a reviewer
of books; a home economics helper; a voice for the
people; a supermarket of products, equipment and
services, and many, many other things to many
people who really do find newspapers making a
BIG difference in their lives every day and every
week.

Ups and downs occur in the
lives of all nations. In fact, if a
nation proceeded century after
century on an even keel, its life
would indeed become flat, unin
teresting, and probably without
significance.
The moral character of human
beings is usually challenged by
crisis.
Certainly the little kingdom of
Judah had crises galore following
the division of the twelve tribes
into the Northern Kingdom of
Israel and the Southern Kingdom
of Judah. Looking at it now in
retrospect, we can see that this
nation was struggling to fulfill
its destiny. God had set aside
the Hebrew people (later called
Jews) to disclose to the world
his nature and divine purpose.
The thirty-nine books of the
Old Testament reveal the growth
of a national conscience and a
spiritual sensitivity possessed by
no other people in human history.
There was, to be sure, much
backsliding. This nation rejected
and put to death the Messiah
whose coming they had long anti
cipated with joy and expectation.
Our lesson today deals chiefly
with the finding of the Book of
Deuteronomy, the teachings of
this book, and the place it holds
in the moral and spiritual history
of the world.
King Manasseh of Judah, about
whom we studied last week, was
probably the wickedest and most
unworthy monarch encountered in
the long history of the Hebrew
people (although the Herods who
lived and reigned during the mini
stry of Jesus were also con
spicuous for their villainy).
We recall Jehoshaphat, a
rought - and - ready sort of
character wno on the whole took
his responsibilities seriously and
was loyal to the spiritual aspi
rations of his people. The North
ern Kingdom had been rent asun
der by the villainy and weakness
of kings who quickly came and
went as one revolution followed
another. One king (Zimrl) oc
cupied the throne only seven days.
Most unprincipled of all the
usurpers was Athaliah, daughter
of the weakling Ahab and wife
of Jehoram, king of Judah. With
apparently no compunction she
enjoyed a vacation trip from
Thursday through Monday tour
ing Silver Springs, Daytona Beach
and Jacksonville, Florida.

the murderous Athaliah could be
deposed and punished.
Uzziah, king gs Judah, was a
great ruler—so great in fact that
when he died the nation was in
terror lest no satisfactory suc
cessor could be found. But the
nation struggled on under Jotham
and Ahaz (an idolater, wily poli
tician, and assassin), and the
affairs of the nation were in con
tinual turmoil.
Finally the good King Hezekiah
ascended the throne. He was a
devoted .servant of Jehovah, and
during his reign he repaired and
cleansed the temple, reorganized
its religious services, and cast
down the images which had se
duced many of his people into de
grading idolatry.
It was during the reign of
Hezekiah that the great plague
struck the army of Sennacherib,
which was besieging Jerusalem,
and brought about the death of
185,000 of his troops.
This good King Hezekiah was
succeeded by his son Manasseh,
the evil son of a good and faith
ful father who tried to undo
all the work of moral renovation
his father had instituted. He
himself went back to idolatry,
and apparently with no rebuke of
conscience he shed innocent blood
throughout the whole of Judah.
Manasseh was succeeded by his
son Amon. Manasseh’s repen
tance had no effect on his godless
son. Amon was a heathen through
and through and had no use for
Jehovah worship. His servants
finally murdered him in his
palace.
It was strange Indeed that the
weak and idolatrous Ahaz, kingof
Judah, should have been suc
ceeded by an upright and truly
religious son, Hezekiah. It was
also singular that the godly Heze
kiah should have had a son, Man
asseh, and a grandson, Amon,
who were pagans in every aspect
of their lives and hostile to the
religion of Jehovah.
Amon was succeeded by his son
Josiah, as good a king as Judah
ever had in its long history.,
He not only opposed idolatry but
suppressed its unlawful and evil
practices. He repaired and ad
orned the temple, and in all his
activities he conducted himself
with such enthusiasm that this
people caught his mood and co
operated with him in reestab
lishing and maintaining the wor
ship of Jehovah.

Um writing to you asking you
to put this letter in the paper.
My name is P.F.C. Charles W.
Wilbanks, I’m serving with the
Ist Air Calvary Division in Viet
nam. Our base camp is in the
Central Highlands 280 miles from
Saigon. Our camp is in Ankhe,
a smaT Vietnamese village bet
ween Bong Son and Pieikm where
we conduct operations.
I’ve been here for G months
today, June sth, and tomorrow
June 6th starts mj. 7th month
here in Vietnam. I would like
to ask the citizens of Newton
County if they would to send
me an ice machine, gasoline
operated. I know they appreciate
the fine job our toys are doing
over here. The only time we
get cold soft drinks is when
we come back to base camp
off an operation but they are
only chilly. Most of the time
they are hot, we hardly get any
think cold to drink, we have a
new mess hall with chairs and
tables, its big.
So if the citizens of Newton
County would do me this favor
all of the men in m.> Company
C - Ist Batallion sth Calvary
would appreciate it very much.
A Sergeant in a company rec
eived an ice machine from ihe
citizens of his home town so
I thought I’d write and ask the
citizens of Newton County if they
would send me one.
Since I’ve been here in Viet
nam, I’ve received numerous
letters and cards from citizens
congratulating me on the fine
job I was doing. I managed to
write a few of them. Most of
the time I’m out of base camp
on a mission. I would apprec
iate it very much if someone
would send an ice machine to
me.

The Bible speaks of money
as the “root of all evil’’ and
this is true in international deal
ings just as it is in our personal
lives. To some extent money
governs the actions in every per
sons life, but the amount of sway
that it causes is governed by
integrity and character.
Since' World War II we have
noticed a great change in the
character of our Allies. It might
be best described as bitter
sweet. As gullible Americans we
just can't understand this. Our
men and money literally saved
England and France during the
war and then the Marshall Plan
rebuilt their economies.
Yet, from the actions of these
two countries- over the past de
cade you would think that the
United States was a meddling
mother-in-law. Now this mot
her-in-law is expected to con
tinue to funnel funds and furnish
a protective shield over the heads
of these two children by financing
NATO. But these two children
feel no obligation or respect
for her or her world position
when it comes to their making
criticism and excuses.
France under DeGaulle might
be considered an Anti-American
looking for a continuous hand
out. The British are swell allies
as long as our interests don’t
dip into their pocketbooks.
Britain has repeatedly ignored
Glenn, who was 100 years
“young” on March 8, is a New
ton County native, since she was
born on her father’s Yellow River
Plantation, while it was still a
part of this county. She is
known as the “Mother of Braz
ilian Missions” and founder of
two colleges in Brazil, where
she served some 40 years. She
has recently returned from a
flight to Brazil, which was a
birthday gift from her many fr
iends. While there she was
signally honored at various so
cial events, by high ranking gov
ernment and other officials, many
of whom were her former pupils.
It was upon the progress in
missions in Brazil that Miss
Glenn based her talk, which was
spiced with her own initimable
humor. She spoke highly of Bap
tist work in progress there; and
that of her own and other pro
testant denominations, and cited
as encouraging, the unity now
evident between denominations,
in an interdenominational Lan
guage School, attended by mis
sionarißs sent by various de
nominations.
Brazilians are very receptive
people, she stated, and a large
portion of the country is ac
cepting the Gospel. She cited
one procedure of church mem
bership, which she felt might
well be practiced by churches
in this country. A person does
not just “join the church”; but
upon expressing the desire to
become a Christian, he is en
