“Young Men Can Change The World” is the
title of a book written about Jaycees and as an
inspirational guide for Jaycees throughout the
world. This week has been designated as National
Jaycee Week and it is fitting that we of Newton
County take time to recognize the Newton County
Jaycees and salute them for tlieir part in helping
to make our county a better place to live, work, and
raise a family.
The Jaycees is an organization for young men
between the ages of 21 and 35 who are on their
way up in our community. They are known through
out this community and the world as “Young Men
of Action.” They work at community projects
that will pave the way to growth and progress.
Franklin Malcolm serves as president of the
Newton County Jaycees this year. He has done a
fine job in leading this club into the center of the
During this week, the third week in January, we
pause to observe Y.M.C.A. Week on a state and
national level. This week will be highlighted by
the observance of Y.M.C.A. Sunday as well as
having the opportunity to plan church services
civic club, and chapel programs during the week.
To us in Newton County Y.M.C.A. means the
teen-agers who are members of the Hi-Y and
Tri-Hi-Y Clubs at Newton County High School.
These organizations represent the greatest spi
ritual influence and character building ties that
a teen-ager has offered during their high school
career.
In order to help the teen-age boys and girls
in Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y Clubs to spiritual growth,
the State Y.M.C.A. of Georgia plans, promotes,
and carries out a yearly schedule of informative
conferences and special events. These are super
vised by the professional staff of the State Y.M.C.A.
They help train club officers and others holding
responsible jobs in the club.
The Christian Life Conference is an inspirat
ional conference designed to help teen-agers find
direction for their lives. This conference is held
each Spring. Other conferences and meetings on
district levels are held in the fall to plan the
work of the clubs.
State wide conferences, such as Summer Of
ficers Training Conference, offer spiritual train
ing and counseling as well as fun and recreation.
State “Y” officers are elected here.

leadership the Newton County Jaycees have been
recognized as one of the leading Jaycee clubs in
the state.
In Newton County the Jaycees have spearheaded
for needed changes and as young men of action
they know what it means to be on the “action
end” and the “receiving end.” They are to be
congratulated for meeting issues “head-on” and
working with city and county officials, business,
industry, and for the people to make this county
a better place in which to live.
We commend our Newton County Jaycees for
their initiative and civic mindedness and we urge
them to keep up the good work. We pledge them
our support as they work for a better and more
progressive Newton County.

These are just a few of the activites of the
Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y Clubs at Newton County High

is the day by day Christian character building
process that these clubs offer to our young people
as they grow into manhood and womanhood in this
space age.
The impact of these clubs and their influence
may be seen in the individuals who have been
listed among their membership in years past.

II Corinthians 4;1
Young People-Adult Topic:
Our Response to Christ
Immediately preceding today’s
lesson we find an account of how
Jesus showed compassion to
those who were ill. He had been
traveling throughout the cities
and villages preaching. Luke
tells us that he was “showing
the glad tidings of the kingdom
of God” (8;1). with him on this
preaching mission were the twe
lve disciples.
Certain women are mentioned
by Luke as having come under
Jesus’ compassionate ministry.
There was Mary called Magdal
ene. There was Joanna, the wife
of Herod’s steward. There was
Susanna, and many others. Their
desire was to minister to him
“of their substance.”
Also, the background scrip
ture presents the story of the
soils. It was a parable that has
been wrongfully called “the par
ade of the sower.” Jesus’ em
phasis was on the soil rather
than on the sower of the seed.
In each Instance the sower was
the same. He made four sowings
and each time he used good seed.
Jesus would direct our attention
to the types of soil and show us
that we resemble one or another
of the four types.
A parable is a story that deals
with some commonplace thing or
event which is given spiritual
significance.
Jesus told the parable of the
soils to show the ways in which
individuals and groups respond
to him. The actual parable (8:
5-8) precedes today’s lesson.
It baffled those who heard It.
Even the disciples questioned its
meaning. But after they heard
its interpretation, the parable
became a challenge to witness
to their faith; and that challenge
has continued for almost two
thousand years as we review
the Master’s commentary on his
parables.
The disciples were for the
most part unlearned men. They
had come from various walks of
life. Jesus had called them to
follow him. And so compelling
was his invitation that they left
their everyday duties and joined
forces with him. They were to
find Instruction In his school,
and the course was to last only
three years. Jesus’ death would
bring their training to an end.
Little wonder that they needed
an Interpretation for the elusive
parable that he presented.

y Representative Ballard M
The 1967 Session of the Georgia
Legislature started out with a
“bang” as expected by everyone.
I, along with many other repre
sentatives throughout the state,
arrived in Atlanta on Sunday
evening, January 8, 1967, and
many of us attended the Govern
mental Affairs dinner held by the
Georgia Junior Chamber of Com
merce. This meeting was also
attended by our local Jaycees.
It was quite a pleasure to meet
with them at their meeting. Os
course, the main discussion
which was going about the halls
at that time was the election of
a Governor on the following Tues
day.
On Monday the 9th, the House
of Representatives organized It
self and selected our officers for
the coming two years. The House
of Representatives appears to be
better organized this year than in
the past four years. This of
course, leads directly back to
our present Speaker of the House,
George L. Smith, n.
On Tuesday the 10th, the day
lasted long and in our investi
gation of the ballots and the
electing of the Governor for the
State of Georgia. This lasted on
into the night and finally Georgia
at last had a Governor. Some
people may not agree with the
choice of Governor. However, I
feel that no one can argue with
the manner in which the Georgia
Legislature conducted itself in
handling this great task. This
task should have never been pla
ced upon the Legislature. How
ever, when it was so done, this
present Legislature did not shirk
its duty. I intend to pursue in the

stand. It was a simple story of
a sower who went out to sow.
Some of the seed fell by the way
side. It was trodden down, and
the fowls of the air devoured
it. Other seed fell upon a rock.
When it germinated it withered
away because it lacked moisture.
Still other seed fell among thorns,
but the thorns sprang up with It
and choked it. The fourth sow
ing was on good ground. The
good ground caused the seed to
spring up and bear fruit an hun
dredfold. Jesus concluded this
simple story of the sowing by
stating, “He that hath ears to
hear, let him hear.”
This is a story of the spring
time that is concluded only when
the autumn brings the harvest.
Apparently Jesus offered no
explanation to his listeners save
to imply that God had given them
ears to hear and therefore they
should hear. It was a challenge
to his audience to Interpret the
parable. It was for them to de
fine the meaning of the seed and
whom the sower represents. So
also, they needed to see the spir
itual meaning of this earthly
story.
It was necessary for them to
see themselves as part of the
Illustration and to find in it their
relationship to the word of God.
Because of their Inability to
detect Jesus’ meaning they put to
him the logical question, “What
might this parable be? ”
Our Lord responded that to
them “it is given to know the
mysteries of the kingdom of
God.” The gospel story as pre
sented by Luke seems to in
dicate that because they were
called to be disciples they had a
natural endowment regarding the
interpretation of the Master’s
teaching. Since they had re
ceived the gift of interpretation,
they would naturally come to know
and understand the “mysteries”
of God’s kingdom.
It has been said that the es
sence of religion is a mystery
hidden from outsiders but re
vealed to believers.
Luke tells us that the disciples
wanted to know the meaning of
this particular parable. He spoke
in parables to the masses “that
seeing they might not see, and
hearing they might not under
stand.” Though it appears ob
vious that Jesus employed para
bolic language In order to make
divine truth understandable, he
stated that he used this parable
in order to veil the truth and to
hide the real meaning from all
but this most Intimate followers.
Confronted by their desire for a
clearer Interpretation, he said,
“Now the parable Is this; The
seed Is the word of God.”
His Interpretation made them
listen carefully, since most of
them, human as they were, were
untutored in spiritual things.

bills. (2) If he and the physician
agree, the claim may be filed by
the physician after the patient
signs the claim form authorizing
payment directly to the physician.
In either case, the patient is res
ponsible for the first $50.00 of
doctor bills plus 20% of the bal
ance each year. Medical insur
ance pays only 80% of the amount
over $50.00.
“A substantial percentage of
claims submitted contain errors
or omissions which require fur
ther investigation,” Ingle said,
“thus resulting in delays in pay
ment.’’
Ingle makes some suggestions
which will speed the processing
of claims and allow the insur
ance company to make payment
sooner;
(1) A claim may be filed on
any amount, but would normally
be filed when bills total over
$50.00. The claim form (SSA
-1490) is located in the back of
the Medicare Handbook which
was mailed to each Medicare
card holder. Additional copies
of the handbook or the claim
form may be obtained from the
Social security Office.
(2) The claim number should
be on each claim form, it is also
Important that the letter following
the number be shown. The claim
number may be found on the
beneficiary’s medicare card.
(3) if the patient is claiming
reimbursement on doctor bins
he has paid, the itemized rec
eipted bills must be attached to
the claim. Ingle points out that
it is in this area that most of
the problems arise. The item
ized receipted bill should show
detailed itemization of services
and charges. The bill should
show the date and place of each
service as well as a full de
scription of the type of medical
service received and the nature
of the illness or injury. Os
course, the amount of the charge
should be shown and the bill
should be marked “paid” by the
physician.
(4) Ingle suggests that the
patient let the doctor know be
forehand that he intends to file
for reimbursement under medi
care. in this way, the doctor
or his assistant will know that
an itemized receipted bill will
be needed.
Anyone who feels he needs
help in filing his claim with the
insurance company may obtain
help and advice from the Social
Security District Office. The
office in Atlanta is located in
the Federal Building at 275
Peachtree st., N. E. The tele
phone number is 526-6461.

Governor Maddox delivered an
inaugural address with an appeal
to reason and a promise of pro
gressive government for Geor
gia. At the top of the list was
aid to education just as he pro
mised while campaigning.
However, in the legislature
there is strength gathering for
legislation that would excuse lo
cal governments from their fair
share support of local schools.
The people of Georgia will be
watching the Governor very
closely to see if he will go to
bat for the local support program
started by Governor Sanders’ ad
ministration.
Sanders’ formula, which is
presently determining local par
ticipation, calls this year for
each local system to pay 17 per
cent of the minimum program.
Percentage-wise, this amount
will increase by one per cent each
year until the local share is 20
per-cent.
There is, at the General As
sembly, a move to freeze local
participation at the present 17
per cent. Some legislators are in
favor of freezing the total dollar
amount of the local system share
which will result in even less
local support.

don’t seem to be able to get it

So much to live For but even

During my ministry it has been
my privilege to know many real
dedicated Christian people. Some
of which are never known beyond
their kindred and a few neighbors
close by. They have lived lives
beyond reproach setting good ex
amples, never possessing much
of this world’s good and at the
same time not letting it bother
them. Just a comfortable place
to live and some times without
all of the conveniences that most
of us count as necessary and just
neat clothes that most of the
time comes from bargain coun
ters. Never buying a new car
just a used one. They are only
wanting to be excepted for what
they really are in church, com
munity and etc. These families
seem to be able even In these
days to have time to spend to

One of the kindest things that
God ever did for man was to fix
the invisible veil between the
present and the future.
At times most of us would
like to sweep it aside and peer
into the future to see what it holds
in store for us. We think that if
we could only know what would be
the outcome of some venture we
could better plan for It. We do
not realize the fact that it is the
uncertainty that spurs us on and
incites us to invent all sorts of
schemes to accomplish our pur
pose.
It is the PURSUIT of happi
ness that gives zest to life, it
is the unknown that stirs our
curiosity and prods us to try to
solve the problem at hand, if
we could know before beginning
a work what the outcome would
be, there would be no use to
study methods or plans to try to

through their heads that if they
don’t pay for education locally
with local taxes they are going to
have to pay for it with state
taxes. Education is going to be
paid for and it is going to be
paid for from taxes from the
people.
Georgia is already among the
top ten states in the nation based
on the percentage of state money
going to education. Governor
Sanders’ system for gradually
raising the local share as part
of a quality education package
provides for far more state as
sistance to local schools, it
was designed to encourage sc
hool consolidation and tax re
valuation. It would also bring
to an end the drain on the state
of having to pay the bill for
economically unsound school
units that are not providing de
cent education for Georgia’s
children.
If Governor Maddox is going to
move this state ahead in the
field of education it is a “must”
that he stand fast and fight any
forces who favor the repeal of
the fair-share formula. For the
sake of Georgia’s children we
hope that he will stand firm and
not let political chums influence
him and give his new adminis
tration a black eye.
start down lifes road again and we
wonder sometimes in amazement
how they do it so easily and
quietly. Could it be that when
there is much to live for there is
also much to die for?
When we live for one another,
husband for wife, wife for hus
band, parents for children, child
ren for parents, forgetting those
things that will soon decay and
pass away.
We belong to a family like the
woman that the story is told about
that some years ago the woman
was aboard that Great Titanic
Ship when it was known that it
was breaking in pieces say calm
ly when others praying aloud
cried shouting. When asked how
she could be unconcerned, said it
this way- you see I have one
daughter in heaven now and an
other one in Germany. I love
both of them very much, what
ever happens I will get to be with
one or the other.
If we have some one in heaven
and have that assurance of going
there ourselves it should help us
in not getting involved in the af
fairs of this life and at the same

So the “veil” keeps us alert
and striving to make the best of
our known opportunities. It keeps
our hopes alive, and keeps us
ever looking forward and plan
ning for the future. As we go for
ward into the future, the veil
also moves ahead as we plan
for the unknown, and try to find

The poet, John Oxenham,
grasped and expressed the sit
uation;
To every man there openeth
A Way, and Ways, and a Way,
And the High Soul climbs the
High Way,
And the Low soul gropes the
Low.
And in between on the misty
flats
The rest drift to and fro.
But to every man there open
eth
A High Way, and a Low
And every man decideth
The Way HIS soul shall go.
