Nothing in our affluent society so quickens the
community spirit as an old fashion County Fair.
We are grateful for the atmosphere of fellow
ship and “one for all, and all for one” that per
meates the exhibit hall. We experience a deep
sense of civic pride in the agricultural, horti
cultural, canning, needlecraft, art and handicraft
exhibits of Community, Home Demonstration, 4-H,
FFA, FHA, Civic and organizational clubs, which
are outstanding this year. School and commercial
booths manifest marked progress in education and
our economy. Here, we find one of the remaining
vestiges of true Americana - where hearts and
hands are joined in community effort, and self is
subjugated in the promotion of “our county”.
Another highlight is the Georgia Game and
Fish Wildlife Exhibit in the livestock building,
under the direction of Wildlife Ranger, Bill Aiken.
This is the second year the Game and Fish De
partment has sponsored this exhibit which has
The political campaigns are in full swing and we
are about to enter a maze of electioneering which
will surpass anything in the past. Each year the
number of voters increases as more and more of
our youth mature to legal voting age.
This being an election involving the highest
office in the land, more voter interest and a pro
portionately higher investment of campaign funds
for the various items distributed by the can
didates will be required.
Over the past several years one of the most
widely circulated pieces of propaganda has been
the bumper strip. The reason for the popularity
of the strip is its versatility. It can be applied
to a wide range of fixtures and will adhere to
almost any space from its traditional spot on
automobile bumpers to straw hats. We have seen
them on briefcases, kids’ lunch boxes, houses,
store windows and the inevitable bikini in press
photos released by the professional ad men.
It matters little to us where the partisans of
any particular candidate may choose to display

That was the overall average.
Some families owe much more

Over 40 percent of it con

There is a midway with modern rides and

provided only that they use their own property.
But we do get more than a little angry with the
antics of the partisans who use the property of
others to forward the ambitions of their boy.
Sometimes, we wonder if the placing of bumper
stickers on street signs, public buildings, tele
phone poles, billboards and the like isn’t ulti
mately more damaging to candidates than useful.
Certainly the folks charged with their eventual
removal do not enjoy having to undo the damage
caused by them. Very quickly they become an
eyesore, especially when they start to show the
signs of peeling and fading. And how many un
successful aspirants enjoy being reminded of their
defeat by seeing those wretched, weatherbeaten
banners staring back at them from places they
should not have been in the first place?
We hope that the campaign managers this year
will encourage more discretion on the part of their
faithful workers to eliminate this practice. After
all if their man is elected he should want to serve
in a beautiful community.

How Do You Want Your Coffee
With Whale Oil Or Mustard?
By Helen Jenkins
This is National Coffee Week
and thousands of Newton Count
ians are celebrating by lapping
up their usual instant coffee with
powdered, non-fattening, non
dairy cream and some type of
saccharin sweetner.
Blended coffee has come to
mean “a little of yesterday’s
mixed with a little of today’s.”
Even with ersatz coffee, cream
and sugar, psycologlsts say that
the coffee break helps people
relax and go back to the Job re

so much a part of every business

OIR WEEKLY LESSON
FOR
Sunday School
THE SOURCE OF OUR FAITH
Devotional Reading: Hebrews
2:4-10.
Memory Selection: In these
last days he has spoken to us by
a Son, whom he appointed the
heir of all things, through whom
also he created the world. Heb
rews 1;2.
Intermediate - Senior Topic:
Christ, Source of Our Faith.
Young People - Adult Topic:
The Source of Our Faith.
With this lesson we begin a
new quarter of study in God’s
Word. The excellent subjects
selected by the Committee for the
International Uniform Lessons
call this quarter "Writings of Fa
ith and Encouragement.” That
should arouse our interest im
mediately, for in tlv'se days we
need faith and encouragement di
rectly from God through his word.
The lessons begin with the very
interesting Epistle to the Heb
rews, which we study today and
on the following two Sundays.
Then come lessons from the two
short Epistles of Peter and three
letters of John and then the final
book of the Bible, Revelation.
These marvelous final books
of the New Testament strength
ened Christians in the early days
of the church and will prove a
source of encouragement to us
today if we study faithfully and
with prayer.
The Epistle to the Hebrews is
an unsigned letter. It is not
known by whom or to whom or
from where the letter was writ
ten. Some have said it might
better be called an essay or a
thesis rather than a letter.

By Kent Anglin
Pastor, Oxford Baptist
Church
C. S. Lewis has a very fas
cinating little book entitled
BEYOND PERSONALITIES. Wi
thin the framework of that book
there is a chapter called“ Nice
People or New Men.” One can
not read that chapter without
raising that question for him
self, especially since we live in
a culture that claims to be Ch
ristian and Is constantly demand
ing that we have Christian con
versions. So for my culture,
my society, my community I
would like to ask that all of
you consider that question;
What are we? Nice People or
New Men?
You see, in order to deal with
this question we must realize
the difference between the ex
terior and the interior. Nice
ness may be only skin deep.
And sometimes, one of the most
pathetic Individuals on earth is
the nice man. He is nice be
cause he is afraid not to be.
He is afraid that if he is not
nice he will be rejected by his
people and the idea of reject
ion is something he cannot to
lerate. This type of niceness
causes one to be a leach on
grandmothers who never heard
of taking a coffee break and
never seemed to drop, like
Whistler’s Mother, Into a rocking
chair. Coffee was brought home
in beans to be roasted and boiled.
This Is where the term "pot
luck” probably originated.
To make good coffee 100 years
ago, grandmother first picked
over the beans to remove any
stones, pebbles or dirt. After
washing she roasted the beans
In a fry pan, a few at a time,
over a slow fire so they would
not burn. One burned bean
ruined the flavor of all. After
roasting, she stirred in a nut
size piece of butter. When ready
to brew she ground the beans.
The common recipe was 8 oz.
ground coffee to 1 qt. water.
Add the white of an egg, pour
6 cups boiling water over all
and boll for 10 minutes. Let
stand another 10 minutes. The
egg helped to clarify the coffee.
If she preferred Grandmother
knew to use 2-3 eggshells or a
bit of well-cleaned, dried cod
fish skin. Either would clarify
coffee.
Elven she knew better than to
re-boil it. This is still an
Important rule.
Some others are:
- Don't stock coffee unless in
unopened vacuum cans.
- Don’t mix old stock with new.
- Store in refrigerator In
tightly sealed can or screw-top
glass Jar.
- Select a coffee pot that is
easily cleaned. Give it a daily
washing in hot sudsy water and
keep unassembled, airing the
parts to prevent a rancid, bitter

finitely apostolic in its content
and adds a great deal to the New
Testament. After all, the Holy
Spirit is the real author of all
Scripture.
The theology of Hebrews is
Pauline; but goes beyond the ep
istles of Paul in its discussion of
Christ as the eternal sacrifice,
atonement, and high priest. The
Greek style does not appear to be
that of Paul, but rather the lan
guage of one who had Greek as
a mother tongue. In writing to the
Chosen People, if Paul were doing
It, he might hesitate to sign his
name as he was considered the
Apostle to the Gentiles.
Recent very careful study in
cluding the Dead sea Scrolls pl
ace the writing of this epistle
within the years A. D. 60 to 70.
It is certainly from apostolic ti
mes for Clement of Rome quotes
from Hebrews in his letter of
A. D. 95 to the church in Co
rinth.
The key word of the Epistle is
better or superior. It is writ
ten to show that the revelation in
Christ and the Saviour himself
are better than angels, superior
to Moses, above and beyond the
high priest. The New Covenant
is superior to the Old and has
a better sacrifice and more per
fect rule for life.
The passages we study in our
lesson today and those of the two
succeeding lessons show very pl
ainly the unique work of Christ
and how the whole plan of sal
vation centers in him. In this
day when so many are claiming
that all religions are merely di
fferent roads to the same place,
it is especially necessary for us
as Christians to become familiar

society, demanding that society
tell them what is right and what
is wrong. Os course, the trag
edy is that one is not free. He
does not feel free to be himself,
to express himself, to live with
himself. He is nice —but the
niceness is . qnly because he is
afraid of others; or he seeks
to use others.
Contrasted to this nice per
son is the new man. The pic
ture is described for us by St.
Paul who states that if a man is
in Christ he is a new creature.
Now this Is not some mystical
experience, it is extremely prac
tical. For the idea is that one
becomes a new man when he is
intimately Involved with Christ.
Now to be in Christ does not
mean merely Improved or re
formed or that there is an alter
ation in patterns of behavior.
The word is not reformation but
transformation. Man is re-made.
The old dies away, the new comes
into being. As Martin Luther
puts it, “We become miniature
Christs.” The New is not start
ing with the exterior moving to
the interior; it starts on the in
side and work its way outward.
So, take time now. Sit down.
Look at yourself and ask; WHAT
AM I, A NICE PERSON OR A
NEW MAN?
bulld-up.
There Is still no substitute
for good coffee but plenty of dis
cussion as to what good coffee
is. Grandmother knew that if
the beans were running low she
could always add rye grains, bar
ley, peas, parsnips or even dan
delion greens to the grind.
Perked-coffee lovers will pro
bably make some snide remarks
that peas and parsnips are pro
bably in today’s instant. Others
rise to the defense of instant
coffee. Made properly, they
insist, it smells good and leaves
no grounds. The proper way,
they add, is to start the pot with
cold water and coffee powder.
Let this come to a boil and
stand several minutes before
serving.
To fancy it up, people the
world over sometimes add half
hot milk, brandy, rum, Irish
whiskey or ice cream. In the
16th century the Turks added one
drop of whale oil to the cup and
Frenchmen were advised to fla
vor lightly with mustard. If
these don’t suit your fancy, here
are some other ways to vary
flavor:
- Add 1 inch vanilla beans
(vanilla extract won’t do) or 2
crushed cardmom seeds to gro
und coffee before brewing 4-6
cups.
- Cinnamon sticks, cloves or
all spice berries can be steeped
in coffee Just after it has been
made.
- Garnish with whipped cream
and top with ginger, nutmeg,
grated orange peel or shaved
bitter chocolate.
Over 1,000 years ago when
(Our Advertisers Are Assured of Best Results)
with the Bible teaching that Christ
stands absolutely unique and
apart as God’s final and com
plete revelation and the only Sa
viour of the world.
Christ, the High Priest, and
the New Covenant are points of
great emphasis in the Epistle to
the Hebrews. We should remem
ber that the high priest did not
offer the usual sacrifices under
the Old Covenant, but he alone of
fered the sacrifices on the Day
of Atonement, the central point
of the whole Hebrew ritual. Th
ese are the sacrifices likened
to the sacrifice of Christ in this
letter. There are some twenty
eight references in the New Test
ament to the New Covenant and
half of them are in this one
Epistle.
As we study Hebrews, there
fore, let us draw near to the Holy
of Hollies, cleansed by the At
onement of our Great High Pr
iest to worship with him in the
heavenly sanctuary and thank God
that all things are superior in
him.
The first verse in the Bible
in a mighty flash of revelation
reveals one God, the Creator of
all things, "In the beginning God
created.” Then man was set in
the midst of a mighty universe
that was silent. There are won
ders all about him, and man him
self is the greatest wonder of all.
Here in the first verse of Heb
rews comes another great flash
of revelation for the universe is
not all silence.
"God has spoken.” If this be
true is there anything more im
portant than to hear and obey
what God has said?

Let there be no misconcep
tion by any person in Newton
County concerning the reality of
a strong and sincere campaign by
Negroes locally to gain employ
ment opportunities. Problems
arising from the conflict of ideas
created by this campaign cannot
be Ignored. These problems will
not "go away”, and therefore
solutions must be found as they
arise.
Bullheaded action on the part
of employers and Negroes can
only result in an undesirable si
tuation that could create a bad
image for Covington and Newton
County as growth and prosperity
move this way.
There are no simple solutions
to the problems of race relations
as Negroes seek equality under
the law, in a society controlled
by White people. Solutions to
problems will come only through
compromise and conscience by
and in the community where equal
opportunity is being sought.
Picket lines and boycotts very
effectively prove that Negro tr
ade, if taken away from a mer
chant, can in many cases close
him down. Out of such demon
strations come only disruption of
the tranquil relations between the
White and Black races. The peo
ple of Covington and Newton
County do not want a disruption
of relations between the races,
picket lines, arsonists buring
buildings, or outside agitators fo
cusing attention on our fair area
because our own people could not
solve local problems in the light
of reason.
Several weeks ago the Newton
County Human Relations Council
was formed with representatives
from the NAACP, YPYC—the lo
cal young people’s branch of the
Southern Christian Leadership
Conference, Negro civic organi
zations and churches, business,
industry, education, and the
press. An equal number of White
and Black people make up the
Council.
This is not a group of "do
gooders,” with far flung ideas
of a utopian relationship bet
ween the races, who have nothing
better to do with their time than
plant about 8 inches deep (ask
your florist the depth, for it
varies with the bulb.) You will
be as delighted as your kiddies
at Santa Time, when those bulbs
reward you for your trouble.
How about a nice Camellia or
so and a gardenia. Their fra
grance is so rewarding.

hold meetings and talk, talk, talk,
and never come up with any con
crete proposals to help find rea
sonable compromise solutions to
specific problems.
The local Human Relations
Council meets every first and
third Tuesday night at 7:00 p.m.
at the City Courtroom. It dis
cusses problems in the com
munity and deals with them one
by one in the form of proposals
for solutions. Committees from
the Council work on these pro
blems with the people involved.
It is a touchy and thankless job
as these Council members at
tempt to serve the best interest
of this community by working
on the front line in the race
relation struggle.
This Council can only be as
strong and as meaningful as the
support it receives from the
community. It is the communi
cations media between the races.
It deals with the facts and de
mans as they are in reality. It
is the open mike for grievances
and frustrations that arise bet
ween the races, and it is the
conference table for the media
tion of these differences.
The members of this Council
are seldom in agreement on the
solutions, but they work toward
compromise and solution be
cause they are vitally interested
in the well-being of this town and
county. This Council needs your
understanding and support as it
attempts to achieve harmonious
progress in the race relation st
ruggle during this era of rapid
change and growth.
Through this Council a recent
picket line was removed and a
settlement was arrived upon.
Picketing, scheduled to begin to
day, was avoided as time wds
gained at Tuesday night’s meet
ing to find a solution to another
problem.
The Human Relations Council
is the most effective means thts
community has of averting trou
ble in Covington and Newton
County between the races. If
this body’s efforts are met with
total indifference and not sup
