Municipal Bird Sanctuaries
All nature seems to revel in song and beauty
with the coming of spring; and surely nothing
lightens the heart like the song of a bird as he
pours out his heart out in a gladsome welcome to a
greening world.
Unfortunately, the call of the out-of-doors usu
ally brings into play BB and 22 rifles in the hands
of those who may, or may not be aware that city
officials in Covington, Newborn, Mansfield, Ox
ford and Porterdale have officially designated
these municipalities as Bird Sanctuaries. Even
if no such ruling were in effect, it is a Federal
and State offense to kill a song bird. Violation
of this law can incur a Federal fine of SSOO, as
well as a State fine of SIOO.
In addition, there is a local city ordinance
against discharging firearms - even 22 rifles or
Easter--An Ancient Observance
April 14 is Easter Sunday. It is a day of Easter
egg hunts for children and Easter parades for
adults, as well as children. Easter commem
orates the resurrection of Christ, but surpris
ingly, the theme of Easter is older than Chris
tianity itself. Rituals of rebirth were common
among ancient civilizations.
The sunrise services held in many parts of the
United States today date back to the medieval
custom of praying while the sun rises. Even the
seemingly frivolous spectacle of the Easter parade
In Washington, the Internal Revenue Service has
announced that, "Twenty-six states and the Dis
trict of Columbia are participating in a Federal-
State Tape Exchange Program with the Internal
Revenue. The IRS said that furnishing states
with income tax data in magnetic tape form is
only the latest development in the Federal-State
Cooperative Exchange Program that was authorized
by Congress over 30 years ago . . . Currently,
the participants in this program are; Alabama,
Alaska, Arkansas, California, Delaware, Georgia,
Idaho, Indiana, lowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Ne
braska, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota,
Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia, Wis
consin and the District of Columbia.”
Precisely what is involved in this “Cooperative
Exchange Program” is revealed by an editorial
released by the U.S. Press Association last De
cember 12, in which it was reported that the
Governor of Pennsylvania was offering a county
tax collector in that state a copy of the federal
income tax return of every taxpayer in the county
for approximately $35,000.
Further, the Internal Revenue Service reports
the following “other states having pacts with the
On a worldwide basis, population is outrunning
food production at a frightening pace. About
half the world’s people suffer from chronic hun
ger. Each day some 10,000 individuals die from
illness caused by malnutrition in the underde
veloped countries, and if population trends con
tinue, there will be twice as many people to feed
in a little over 30 years. There is no question
that world foal production must be increased
quickly and dramatically.
In the United States, intensive use of mechan
ization, chemical fertilizers and pesticides have
increased agricultural production so greatly that
each farmer today supplies 41 people with food
and fiber, while just 20 years ago he supplied
only 14. The methods and the materials, as well
as the food produced by modern agriculture,
must be free to move between the nations to
countries where the need is great. Agricultural
chemical associations in the United States and
many other countries are cooperating with inter
national organizations to develop a model pesticide

by portion by a country as the need requires.
Among other things, it will be necessary to es-

In pre-Christian times, the egg was the sym

Note that the State of Pennsylvania falls in

any State having a “pact” with the IRS may
avail itself of the “magnetic tape” service.
This means that the taxpayer residing in every

that the governor, in turn, may make it available

tablish realistic tolerances for minute traces of
pesticide chemicals found in food supplies.
Dr. J. M. Barnes, a leading authority on pro
blems of safe use of pesticides, writing in the
British Food Journal, has said: “It is important
that the riduculous situation is not created in
which people living in houses sprayed by pesti
cides and saved from death from malaria are...left
hungry because the food they might have been
offered was found to contain DDT above some
accepted level but in quantities far less than
the people had already absorbed from living in
a house sprayed with DDT.”
Modern testing procedures permit the detect
ion of traces of chemicals so minute as to have
no bearing whatever on human health. There
must be international cooperation to assure that
unreasonable fear of insignificant pesticide re
sidues not become the basis for artificial barriers
preventing the movement of food and needed agri
cultural chemicals from one country to another.
That efforts to achieve such cooperation have now
been initiated is of life-giving significance in
mankind’s ultimate war against hunger.

FOR WHOM JESUS PRAYED
Devotional Reading: I Timothy
2: 1-8

which thou hast given me I have
given to them, that they may be
one even as we are one. John
17: 22
Intermediate- Senior Topic:
For Whom Jesus Prayed
Young People-Adult Topic: For
Whom Jesus Prayed
Jesus was definitely a man of
prayer. We may well ponder this
fact. Why should he pray at all?
Between him and God there was a
continual relationship of under
standing. With the Father’s app
roval on the one hand and the Son’s
complete obedience on the other,
why was it necessary that Jesus,
the Messiah, should pray so earn
estly and constantly to God?
It is recorded that before he
chose his twelve disciples “he
went out into a mountain to pray,
and continued all night in prayer
to God ” (Luke 6: 12). Also in
Gethsemane he prayed in agony
“and his sweat was as it were
great drops of blood falling down
to the ground” (Luke 22: 44).
We can readily see why we
should be required to pray earn
estly and continually, for even in
the lives of those most devoted to
God there are imperfections
which can be remedied only by
God’s grace. Also there are great
needs, especially the need for
guidance along life’s pathway,
which at best seems often indis
tinct and hard to follow. Butthat
this Christ should have been a
man of prayer and so have felt
the need of prayer has astonished
believers through the ages.
It is true that Jesus prayed con
tinuously and earnestly and at ev
ery crisis In his life sought guid
ance which he believed he secured
only through prayer.
The prayer which we study to
day is in reality the Lord’s Pray
er. That prayer, which hetaught
us to say and which begins “Our
Father which art in heaven, hall
owed be thy name....” is in reality
not the Lord’s prayer, but thedis
ciples’ prayer. The prayer re
corded in John 17 is often re
ferred to as Christ’s high priest
ly prayer. It reveals in the most
sublime form the deity and hu
manity of the Son of man and the
fact that in his nature the divine
and human were perfectly blended
together.
On this occasion we find Jesus
apparently praying for himself
but in reality asking that God
would give to his followers a true
sense of his glory. Only then
could they trust him as Lord.
Only with this conviction deeply
in their minds and souls could
they go forth to make his teach
ing a world religion.
He asked that God would glor
ify him. A new humanity was
about to be established on the
earth. The fall of Adam and Eve
had resulted in a turning away of
the race from the pathway God had
originally intended them to foll
ow. Jesus comes with forgive
ness. Furthermore, he comes
with an infallible chart of guid-
I SEN. PENNINGTON
AT THE CAPITOL |
Senator Brooks Pennington of
Madison, Chairman of the Senate
Agriculture and Natural Resour
ces Committee, outlined this
week some of the legislation
passed by the 1968 General Ass
embly and how it affects the farm
er and the agriculture industry:
Farm Machinery Tax Exemp
tion Bill—This bill provides that
certain rubber-tired farm ma
chinery, such as tractors and the
attachments thereto, shall be ex
empt from sales tax. This ex
emption for farm machinery of
fers to the agricultural industry
in a small way some of the same
benefits received by industry
several years ago when legisla
tion was passed exempting indus
trial expansion purchases from
this tax, and will provide some
much needed relief for the small
farmer.
Milk and Milk Substitutes Mar
keting Procedures—A proposed
Constitutional Amendment was
passed which provides that the
General Assembly may establish
marketing procedures for milk
and milk substitutes. This paves
the way to insure the housewife
of an adequate suppiv of whole
some milk at a reasonable price
and will assure the farmer of a
fair price for milk produced.
Safety Standards for Pulpwood
Trucks—Attention has been fo
cused recently on the need for
better safety standards for pulp
wood trucks. Co-ordination of
efforts of the pulpwood industry,
traffic safety and highway groups
brought about legislation which
established safety standards for
pulpwood trucks in a manner
which would insure safety without
crippling the pulpwood industry.
Agriculture Experiment Sta
tions—The 1968 Appropriations
Bill provided adequate funds to
the Board of Regents to be used
by the Experiment stations
throughout the State to continue
and improved their work in ag
ricultural research. The contin
uation of these programs is of
primary importance not only to
THE COVINGTON NEWS
ance. No one will be able to foll
ow that chart perfectly, for only
Christ himself was perfect amid
the untold billions that have lived
on the planet. But it is aim which
pleases God even more than the
accomplishment.
Jesus set up certain ideals
which men were to follow. He re
vealed to them the mysterious
Kingdom of God. He ushered them
into a new way of living in which
they would indeed find eternal
life.
“ These words spake Jesus, and
lifted up his eyes to heaven, and
said, Father, the hour is come;
glorify thy Son, that thy Son also
may glorify thee.”
The theme here is glory. Why
did Christ want to be glorified?
Because it was only when men
realized his divine perfection that
they would surrender all to follow
after that perfection. Jesus asked
that God would show forth his di
vine glory in such away that men
would see it, follow it in faith, and
eagerly seek the spiritual and
eternal ends toward which it
leads.
Note that Jesus speaks here as
having accomplished his work.
The hour had come. He had not
yet been nailed to the cross, nor
had God manifested his divine
approval of the Son’s mystery by
the stupendous act of resurrec
tion. But most of the activity of
our Lord’s life was at an end. He
had only a short time to live.
He prayed that God would man
ifest the glory of the Son during
these two brief days, and do so
in away that would make it im
possible for men of sincere mind
and devout heart to miss its
meaning. When they saw the glo
ry of Christ they would have a
vision of what God was attempt
ing through him to do for the in
dividual and for the world.
By taking upon himself the bur
den of human sorrow and extract
ing the sting of death, he would
glorify God.
We need constantly to remind
ourselves that at best we see
God’s truth through a glass dark
ly. We know in part, “but when
that which is perfect is come, then
that which is in part shall be done
away” (1 Cor. 13: 10). Jesus de
clared that he had manifested
God’s name before men. The fact
that God is love was manifested in
the life of the Son of man.
Jesus had come from God. He
had been taught of God. He was of
the essence and substance of God.
He brought us God’s truth, exem
plified it in his life and pointed in
his resurrection and ascension to
the glories of eternity.
When men really see the glory
of God, they rejoice in the reve
lation. They want to enter into
its benefits. Jesus had come to
earth bringing a new conception
of life and opening the very hea
vens to the gaze of men stagger
ing along life’s pathway in dark
ness.
This was his glory. When men
have seen that glory and under
stood it, life has become new for
them. Jesus prayed that God
would make the revelation unmis
takably clear to his immediate
disciples and the believers of all
ages.
the agricultural Industry as a
whole but to each individual farm
er.
Tobacco Warehouse Regula
tions—This legislation regulates
the warehouses in Georgia sell
ing flue cured leaf tobacco. To
bacco has become one of the top
cash crops in Georgia and be
cause of the very complex pro
blems in the field of warehousing
and marketing of tobacco, it was
essential that this legislation be
passed to insure orderly market
ing of this crop and to prevent
chaotic conditions from develop
ing.
Senator Pennington pointed out
that the Senate passed legislation
that—had it passed the House of
Representatives— would have
“protected the nursery industry
of our State from unfair State Sub
sidized competition.’’
“The Senate Agriculture Com
mittee prevented the passage of
legislation that would have closed
the season on fox hunting in Geor
gia and the Committee began pro
cedures necessary for the estab
lishment of eradication programs
for beavers and blackbirds when
they become nuisances to the
farmers,’’ he said.
Additional agricultural legis
lation will be explained next week.

First, I would like to explain
that the fire protection provided
the County for ten years was not
provided by the County Civil
Defense organization, but by the
Covington Fire Department.
Secondly, that this tanker was

Dear Mr. Mallard:
1 cannot let your editorial con
cerning unions go unanswered.
It is without a doubt the most
biased article I have ever read,
but that is understandable con
sidering the fact that you are
management and not one of us
poor laborers that have to do
the work that makes manage
ment rich.
You only touched on the fact
that labor unions have made vast
improvements in working condi
tions in the past. Why don’t
you state all the facts and com
pare the salaries and conditions
of plants that have unions with
the mills and other factories that
do not have unions. My hus
band is employed by a unionized
company, a very prosperous one,
and in less than 3 years is al
ready making more money per
hour than my father, who has
been doing the same job for
more than 38 years. Maybe
that is not important to man
agement and to the government,
but it means a lot to the com
mon person. Not only is the
pay better, but the working con
ditions are better, and the bene
fits are better.
Maybe you think it would be
better if we returned to the
days of 12 hour workdays, and
child labor, and filthy factories
with no protection from biased
employers, but you are certainly
in the minority - not the majority.
You probably will not print
this letter, or if you do you
will stick it in some out of the
way place where few people will
see it, but 1 feel better for hav
ing written it anyway.

Social Security
Benefits Nontaxable
Griffin—Social Security bene
fits are not taxable and should
not be reported as income on
your Federal income tax return,
the Local Representative of In
ternal Revenue, Ernest T. Wood
ruff, advised today.
Social Security benefits, how
ever, are used in computing the
retirement income credit. They
are also important in determining
claim for a dependency ex
emption.
When an individual receives
Social Security benefits which are
less than one-half of his total
support, Mr. Woodruff added,
your contribution toward his sup
port may entitle you to claim
him as a dependent. Remember,
more than half the total support
for the year must be furnished
by you in order for you to claim
someone as a dependent.

Throughout the country there

the voter level there is sincere

bilize the feeling of security
in the country.
Most people wouldn’t trade liv
ing in our United States of Amer

the direction that our Republic

bid for support from Democra

clear sailing until Bobby Ken

all the ills of the country and

Down South, in the West, and
especially in Georgia, President
Lyndon Johnson has not captured
the support of the people with
his Great Society programs. The
Vietnam War has become real
to the people although they don’t

become a victim of this cir
cumstance and cannot seem to
convince the people that he isn’t

in the Vietnam War and win it
or get out of Vietnam altogeth

ELECTION OUTLOOK
By: Leo S. Mallard
in either party who can offer
a better plan for ending or fight
ing the Vietnam War than the
President is pursuing.
Georgia bolted the ranks of
the Democratic Party and went
for Goldwater in 1964 and will
probably do the same in 1968
behind Alabama’s George Wal
lace. In doing so Georgia will
join the ranks of way-out states,
mostly in the South, that will
not contribute to electing a lead
er for this country, no matter
who he may be, from either
the Democratic or Republican
party.
As it stands now and unless
Nelson Rockefeller enters the
race for the Republican nomina
tion to split the party vote,
Richard Nixon may very well
emerge as the next President.
Disgruntled Democrats that
vote for Wallace, who doesn’t
stand a chance of sitting in the
President’s chair, could proba
bly help bring about a change
of administration by supporting
Nixon. But, if both parties are
split, Nixon-Rockefeller for the
Republicans and Johnson-Ken
nedy for the Democrats, John
son is almost a sure bet as
President for the next four years.
A realistic appraisal of the
“state of our nation” and the
platforms of the Republican and
Democratic parties is needed in
1968 as it has never been need
ed in the history of our coun
try.
Favorite son support is not
the answer in 1968. The United
States needs a leader. The
candidates, whoever they may
be, need the support of the vo
ters so that the best man that
this country has to offer can
enter the White House and guide
the destiny of this country.

those situations and peoples who
could probably be our best help.
In both these attempts to find
an answer and respond to the
situation, the result has been
useless harm to oneself and to
others. What has actually hap
pened is that we have, accord
ing to Paul, sinned. This is
exemplified in our lives by the
lack of sincerity we take toward
God’s will and His people. In
the above cases, the rule where
by we acted was “Survival of
Our Pride, Regardless’*. The
result was negative.
However, a third answer we
find coming from the pen of Paul:
“Be angry, but do not sin; do
not let the sun go down on your
anger, and give no opportunity
to the Devil.” Before acting,

the position of the other person
