perish, but have everlasting
life.”
How, now, can we get back
on the right track so that he will
help us? Well If we apply our
selves FIRST to learning ways
by which we might grow spiri
tually we will turn to God’s
word. . .the Bible. Early in
the morning we should get up
In time to give at least 1/2 hour
to God. We love John’s gospel
. . .and If we read just one
chapter each day In that. . .pray
each day every time we have an
Idle moment, or In just walking
down the street, we can ask God
to guide our footsteps to the
place he would like for us to
apply for a position. Pray be
lieving and He will hear our
prayers! Not the first day, may
be not for a month. . .but you
know we have neglected him for
so long! It we keep praying
and truly become one of God’s
own, upon whom He can depend
. . .It may even be more than
a year. . .but with you serving
Him with all our hearts, pray
ing and believing. . .He will never
fail us young people! Right now
you can walk with God, talk with
Him. . .and as the song says
“He will walk with you, talk
with you and tell you that you
ARE HIS own.”
Many young people, (and God
bless every one, We love you so!)
think It’s sissy to love God. . .
sissy to pray. . .There is not
hing more honorable, for God is
Your Father and HE EXPECTS
you to so live that you may
lead others to this Glorious Life,
some who have never known Him
before.
When we accept these facts and
give of OURSELVES TO THE
MASTER, YOUNG AND OLD
ALIKE, it is THEN, that Refolds
you within His loving arms and
lets you feel the warmth of His
loving protection by day and by
night. . .of His deep and abiding
love which makes you want to
share the Christ you know with
others.
When troubles, loss of a lo
ved one, business reverses and
what-have-you of life that HURTS
. . .YOU then have HIS LOVE to
fall back upon. He gave his only
son for us. What can we do for
HIM, but serve him? He even
rewards you for it. . .but you
know the most rewarding thing
in life is just trying to walk
in the shadow of the footsteps
of Jesus.
Too, He said “ Love your neigh
bor as yourself.” Young and old
alike, just you who are now read
ing this. . .ask yourselves, (along
with me) Who Is my next door
neighbor? Anybody In our town
is our neighbor? We not only,
do not know half of them, we are
so busily abut our own business,
that we forget to CARE! Maybe
you are starving for love of your
neighbors. . .of just a longing for
friends. . .Just a few words like:
“Now, I know you are alone
(or you are 111), and we NEED
TO BE NEEDED, will you please
let us know if we can get your
groceries, do some errand for
you, or take you to town or
church, or to your daughters?
We love you, you know.” What
a happy world this would be if
we were all about our business
of “Sharing and Caring.” Love
thy neighbor as theyself.” Let
us not forget this.
There are many things in life
that so many of us miss. We
can’t have, nor do we want every
thing. . .just an honest living,
a Christian Life and friends
among God’s people. . .and the
privilege of serving HIM.
Let’s all think these things
over and start a real campaign
to take the Word of God to one
who needs it so badly, Study it
diligently each day. . .practice
what we learn. . .and if we all
do this. . .we know the Office
boy will do a better job of Jest
. . ."SWEEPIN’ UP.”
WORDS TO LIVE BY
(From page 2)
temperance, unrighteous polit
ics, unchristian race attitudes,
or whatever.
But salt is very modest, very
unobtrusive. We seldom think
about it at all unless we note
its lace (as in the flatness of
saltless oatmeal!) or excess
(such as oversalted popcorn!).
Is our service to Christ in the
world not to be as quiet, un
assuming and Invisible as salt
In our food? How about our ser
vice to the needy neighbor? Je
sus said It should be so secret
that the left hand shouldn’t know
that the right hand does! And
our leadership in our civic or
Church groups? With bombast
and Insistence upon personal re
cognition, or with the modesty
of salt, content merely to serve
and seeking no satisfaction save
the assurance that this service
Is of the highest quality possible?

Hercules To
Build Plant
At Terre Haute
Hercules Incorporated today
announced plans to construct a
new plant which will double the
company’s capacity for supply
ing its family of Hercules flex
ible films. At the same time,
the company announced a new
line of Hercules films, saran
coated to provide increased gas
barrier and sealing properties.
The site of the new plant,
according to Paul L. Johnstone,
general manager of Hercules Fi
bers & Film Department, will
be a one hundred-acre tract near
Terre Haute, Indiana. “Its lo
cation,” the Hercules executive
said, “is an indication of our
recognition of the increasing im
portance of Midwest markets for
Hercules film poducts.”
The new plant is scheduled
for completion, and should come
on-stream, early in 1968. When
in full operation, it is expected
to employ 500 to 600 people.
The need for the new facility
reflects the growing use of Her
cules films in four major mar
ket areas: shrink wraps; over
wrap; converter sales; non-pack
aging uses. Hercules presently
manufacturers balanced polypro
pylene films specifically de
signed for each of these markets.
These include BCI2O, a copoly
mer based film for shrink wrap;
BX3OO, a modified, heat-set film
for overwrap; 8500, a heat-set,
balanced film for laminations,
and non-packaging applications
in the electrical power, wire
and cable and graphic arts in
dustries.
The newly formed Hercules
film is called CBSOO. It is a
coated, balanced, heat-set poly
propylene film. It complements
the company’s uncoated balanced
films, providing the outstanding
barrier material required to
maintain freshness, and provide
prolonged shelf life in such pro
ducts as food, drugs and tobac
cos.

textile employees recorded
safety records below the 6.00
frequency mark.
The safety experience of Geor
gia’s textile plants compares
most favorably with national sta
tistics, Carter said. “For the
first half of 1966, the U. S. La
bor Department reported a fre
quency rate of 13.2 for all manu
facturing industries, and we are
proud that, in our Georgia textile
plants, safety conditions and
practices are such that the ac
cident frequency rate is less
than half the national industrial
rate.”
A Bronze Plaque will be pre
sented to representatives of the
Welaunee Mill at the GTMA’s
Annual Safety Conference in At
lanta on March 22.

THE COVINGTON NEWS
CBSOO is expected to have
Immediate application both as a
printed and clear overwrap film,
and In converter laminations with
polymer - coated cellophane,
glassine, and other substrates for

Covington Officials Ask
For. State Tax Rebate
The City ot Covington is call
ing on the General Assembly and
Governor Lester Maddox to pro
vide “a significant share of pre
sent state tax collections to mun
icipalities” to help pay the rising
cost of running the city govern
ment. Cities and towns through
out Georgia are taking similar
action in an effort to retain funds
which Governor Maddox has pro
posed to municipalities.
The Governor requested that
$3.7 million, above the current
$9.3 million cities in Georgia
are now receiving, be instated
in the 1967-68 budget. He asked
that $10.7 million be Included
in the 1968-69 budget.

Thursday, February 9, 1967
The City of Covington Mayor
and Council recently adopted a
resolution stating that municipal
ities of Georgia are getting ‘<a
small and disproportionate
share” of state services and a
“meager share of state-aid”
compared to other states.
Also, according to the resol
ution, cities and towns "are pre
empted and limited by the state
constitution and by general stat
ute in major areas of revenue.”
The Georgia Municipal Assoc
iation, which represents the cit
ies and towns of the state, rec
ently adopted a resolution com
mending Governor Maddox on his
plan to provide cities with a
share of the state collected sales
tax in an amount equivalent to
one-half of one cent per year.
GMA also praised the Gover
nor’s program to allocate the
additional $14.4 million during
the coming two years.
The resolution said; "The
Georgia Municipal Association
pledges its support to Governor
Lester G. Maddox in the fulfill
ment of his program to help
municipalities with their fiscal
problems and to otherwise pur
sue programs to carry the state
forward into an even greater
era of progress and prosperity
for its people.”
HOMES NEED “LINING”
Like warm overcoats, com
fortable homes have adequate
“lining”.
The Southern Pine Associat
ion suggests a lining of solid
lumber over roof rafters be
neath the surface roofing. The
high insulation value of the wood
makes the house warmer in win-,
ter and cooler in summer. The
lumber lining also strengthens
the roof and provides a secure
nailing base for roofing mat
erials.
