Former editor and publisher of Nation’s Bus
iness. Mr. Alden H. Sypher. writes rather caus
tically of grandiose plans for construction of mag
nificent new quarters in New York City where
United Nations diplomats and their families could
live, work and play. According to Mr. Sypher,
the proposed U. N. additions would reach new
peaks of splendor and would . .form a new
international showplace centered around the point
where the present United Nations Headquarters
stands." The cost would be hundreds of millions
of dollars, and it would take up to five years to
complete the ambitious program. Although the
United Nations has no money. U. N. Secretary
General U Thant has approved the plan.
U. S. taxpayers will not be surprised to learn
the cost of the expansion of U. N. Headquarters--
More Than Money Needed
People are discovering that passing a law and
the spending of tax money by the billions of
dollars on government health programs do not of
themselves raise the level of health or improve
medical care. As The National Observer points
out, "The frustrating, baffling fact is this: More
money than ever before is being spent on the
nation’s health-care system, but id doesn’t seem to
be doing enough good." The truth is that just
pumping the money into such things as Medicare
and Medicaid doesn’t add to the ranks of qualified
doctors who must make good on the easy promise
of free care by government fiat
Federal expenditures for health and medicine
may rise to as much as $25 billion to S3O billion

must be found to meet this demand. For its
We’re mindful that not many readers of this
page will find it possible to work out the solution
that Fred and Mary Ball devised to lick the pro
blem of high property taxes. But it may inspire
some ingenuity or relief to know that one man
and-wife team turned the trick.
For 17 years, Mr. Ball and his wife lived in
a suburban town in New Jersey, some 30 miles
from New York City. In 1952, the property
taxes on their 6-room house and 60-by-110
lot were $76. In 1968 they were $500.00.
Mr. Ball didn’t take very kindly to that tax
bill when it arrived, and after pondering the pro
blem for a bit he and his good wife decided that
"the only way to get rid of the property tax was
to get rid of the property.”
That, they did.
Mr. and Mrs. Ball sold the house and bought
a boat. The boat has 3 small rooms, and sleeping
space for 6 persons. It costs him S3OO a year
to dock the boat at an ocean-front pier; he has
a small monthly mortgage payment to make on the
boat-much smaller than the one he was carrying
on the house. And no SSOO tax bill arrives in the
Sen. Pennington Reports
On Georgia Assembly
The gavels struck down simul
taneously In the House and Senate
Wednesday afternoon at 3:00 PM,
closing the 1969 session of the
Georgia General Assembly. Mix
ed emotions prevailed over the
passage or failure of particular
pieces of legislation, but there
was little doubt that 1969 has
been the most grueling session
to date. More than 1300 House
and Senate bills were introduced,
along with some 700 resolutions
in both houses, an increase of
25% over the 1968 workload.
Foremost in the day’s activi
ty was the $933 million appro
priations bin, which received fi
nal House and Senate approval
only a few hours before adjourn
ment. Although the 1969-70 bud
get reflected cuts of some SSO
million from the Governor’s
minimum request, the Senate can
take credit for restoring approxi
mately $1 million in cuts to the
mental health program for im
provements and additional staff

wood Hospitals, the DeKalb Re
tardation Center, and planning
funds for the proposed regional
hospitals in Rome and Colum

The budget appropriation is
based upon estimated revenue for
the coming year, plus the addi

or at least most of it—will come from the tax
payers of the United States, not from the other
125 member nations. As Mr. Sypher observed,
"While these plans for greater gradeur were
being pored over in New York by the international
thinkers who like to consider themselves the
world’s peace-keepers, American battle deaths
continued to be counted in the hundreds week after
week in the snake-infested mud and dust of Viet

of the world where the United Nations has failed
to contribute to the cause of peace.
part, the mdical profession is working to expand
physician roles as rapidly as possible. In the
words of The AMA News, "The AMA, with the
American Association of Medical Colleges, for
example, has been at work on programs to help
solve the medical manpower shortage. A liaison
committee of (the) AMA and the National Medi
cal Association is seeking to recruit more young
people, black and white, into health careers.’’
There are two dangers that grow in propor
tion to the growth in government health care
plans. The first is that quality will be sacrificed
on the altar of quantity. The other danger is
that the private practice of medicne, which is the
foundation of the most advanced medical system
in the world, may be overwhelmed by the jugger
naut of state medicine. In that event, we would be
at the mercy of a post office type of operation
in the medical field.
It may be that Fred and Mary Ball will germinate
an idea in the brain of some enterprising real
estate developer. We’ve all seen photographs
of those giant drilling stations on each coast.
Why not such mooring stations for thousands
of Americans like Fed and Mary Ball, stationing
their home beyond the 12-mile limit (or is it
legally only 3 miles?) where not only property
taxes but perhaps a multitude of other taxes
could be ignored?
Couldn’t therebe clusters of houseboats, dinghys
and cabin cruisers tied together somewhere out
there just beyond the jurisdiction of the various
tax collectors, and beyond earshot of the demon

A bill requiring $1 million
in liability insurance and licens

was approved by both houses. In
addition, the bill provides that
failure to obtain the license and
necessary Insurance constitute a
felony on the part of the track
owner. The legislative action was
a response to the recent tragedy

Covington, where 12 persons

his place in the runoff. A supple

THE BIBLE-WRITTEN
RECORD OF REVELATION
DEVOTIONAL READING: Deu
teronomy 6:20-25.
Memory Selection: These are
written that you may believe that
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of
God, and that believing you may
have life In his name.
INTERMEDIATE-SENIOR TO
PIC: God Reveals Himself In
the Bible.
Our lesson last week dealt with
the resurrection. In this first of
a series of lessons on the Bible,
Book of our faith, we examine
both the nature of the Bible and
its relation to the doctrines of
our faith.
In his Second Epistle to the
Corinthians, Paul makes the
statement that the things which
are seen are temporal, but the
things which are not seen are
eternal (H Cor. 4;18). We are
ill-equipped with our five feeble
senses and our mental equipment
to reason about the nature and
character of divine things. We
might arrive at general conclu
sions regarding the nature of God
and his world simply by obser
vation and reflection. The
fact that there is a world at all
seems to indicate a Creator, but
what the nature of this Creator
is, and what is his purpose for
mankind - these remain mys
teries.
It therefore becomes nec
essary, if we are to have any
satisfactory knowledge of God’s
nature and purpose, that the Most
High reveal to us certain truths
to which we cannot arrive by our
own thoughts. The giving of this
information is known as revelat
ions. Ethical systems and phi
losophies could exist without the
tion, totally reflectorlzed auto
mobile license tags will be re
quired after January, 1971. One'
tag would be purchased every
five years, with the automo
bile owner responsible for pur
chasing a revalldatlon sticker
each year until expiration of the
tags. The cost of reflectorlzed
tags Is higher than tags in cur
rent use, but spreading the cost
over 5 years will mean a lower
total cost. It was also noted in
Senate debate that with automo
bile registrationsincreaslng
sharply, eventually it will be
come Impossible for prison in
dustries to manufacture enough
new tags each year to allow
annual new tag purchases.
Both houses passed a Senate
resolution creating a joint legis
lative committee to study the
feasibility of the state taking over
responsibility for issuing reve
nue bonds. Present Georgia law
prohibits the state from spend
ing more money than the govern
ment expects to take in during the
fiscal year. However, the state
has created authorities which
do have the power to issue mill
ions of dollars in bonds, which
are then paid off by the state.
The Joint Committee will be
asked to investigate the current
situation and determine whether
the law should be changed to allow

aid of revelation, but there can
be no knowledge of the nature of
God and his purpose for the world
and its creatures unless certain
truths are imparted to us by di
vine revelation.
'Hie Bible is a collection of 66
books (39 in the Old Testament
and 27 in the New), through which
God reveals Himself to mankind
and sets forth the moral prin
ciples to which He requires us to
conform.
The word "Bible” comes from
a Greek word which means
"book.” The word “biblla” is a
plural. The Bible, therefore, is
to be regarded not just as a book
but as books-that is, as a lib
rary. If we had to rely for our
knowledge of divine truth simply
upon tradition passed on from one
generation to another, we can
readily see how Inaccurate this
tradition would become, how con
flicting in many of Its aspects,
how hazy and Incomplete in its
conclusions. It was necessary
that God’s truth be put In a more
permanent form than the spoken
word. Thus there arose from
the earliest days of Hebrew his
tory varieties of literature which
with the passing centuries were
edited, rewritten, and brought to
gether at last into permanent
form. Historians contributed to
this literature. So, of course,
did the prophets, both major and
minor. The psalmists and writers
of proverbs made their contri
bution. About four hundred years
before the birth of Christ the pro
phecy came to an end. The 39
books of the Old Testament were
at that time completed. During
the next four hundred years a
variety of prophecy known as
apocryphal writings arose. The
Catholic Church considers both
the state to directly issue bonds
for capital Improvements.
A "BIH of Rights” for the
elderly was approved in resolu
tion form. It asks the General
Assembly to work within its po
wers to remove "artificial barr
iers which discourage work, such
as limitations on the amount an
individual can earn and not have
his Social Security or welfare
benefits interrupted.”
A conservation biH was passed
on the last day of the session.
The Georgia Natural Areas Coun
cil will be authorized to study
certain Georgia rivers and re
commend to next year’s Legisla
ture whether such rivers should
be officially designated as "wild
and scenic rivers” and aHowed
to remain in their natural state.
A House amendment removed the
Council’s power of eminent do
main with regard to the rivers
under study.
State funds will be made avail
able to provide pre-school educa
tion for deaf children through a
Senate bill passed by the House
on the final legislative day. The
legislation empowers state or
local boards of education to spend
state money for the training of
youngsters with hearing defects.

“The special 4-H Teenage Nu

ner said. Fifteen Georgia 4-H’ers
joined more than 200 representa

organizations at the conference.
The state-wide observance will
be conducted by 4-H’ers in each
Georgia county. Local residents

Dear Editor:
How do you define a person, or
persons, that poisons with stry
chnine? We have somebody In
this community of Almon that too
often poisons the dogs here with
this deadly poison. Why can’t
they find a more merciful way
to dispose of them? If they could
hear a veterinarian describe how
and what this strychnine does to
an animal or anything that has
been poisoned with it, they could
n’t put out any more of it for
anything, unless they were un
balanced.
In cycles this happens here,
so how does anybody obtain so
much, without a doctor’s pres
cription? It is put over a good
sized area too. I understand
that one neighbor had two to die
in the dog pen that they were
kept in. How can they kill a
child’s loved pet?
I don’t have a dog and don’t
care for them and when they
mess my yard up with trash I
run them off, but I never kil
led one. We had dogs when we
the 39 books of the Old Testa
ment and the apocryphal Old Test
ament authoritative in their rea
soning on religious matters. The
Protestants, however, accept as
authoritative only the 39 books of
the Old Testament which begin
with Genesis and end with Mala
chi.
Catholics and Protestants alike
are agreed on the 27 books com
prising the New Testament.
The Bible has been defined as
a collection of books written by
men who were guided by God to
teach us about Himself and his
will.
The Epistle to the Hebrews is
one of the most unique and ins
piring books in the entire Bible.
The author is unknown. The
King James Version and other
biblical translations designate the
apostle Paul as its author. This
is unlikely. Paul’s Epistles al
ways began with a salutation:
"Paul, called to be an apostle
of Jesus Christ through the will
of God. . .unto the church of God
which is at Corinth. . .Grace be
unto you and peace, from God our
Father, and from the Lord Jesus
Christ’’ (I Cor. 1:1-3). The
Epistle to the Hebrews has no
salutation, nor is the name of the
writer indicated. But whoever
wrote this great book was one of
the outstanding literary figures of
all time.
The Epistle to the Hebrews sets
forth the sacrificial system of
Jewish worship and attempts to
show that in Christianity we have
something vastly superior to Jud
aism.
"God, who at sundry times and
in divers manners spake in time
past unto the fathers by the pro
phets, hath in these last days
spoken unto us by his Son, whom
he hath appointed heir of all
things, by whom also he made
the worlds.’’
Note certain outstanding claims
made by the writer of the Epistle
to the Hebrews in these two ver
ses. "In these last days’’ God
has spoken unto us by his Son.
It was the belief of most of the
early church leaders (including
the apostle Paul) that the return
of Christ was imminent, supreme
in all their thinking was their
conviction that God had appointed
Jesus Christ "heir of all things.’’
The astounding statement is
here made that by his divine
Son, God also "made the wo
rlds.’’ We refer to God the
Father as the Creator, and so He
is. But the New Testament un
doubtedly teaches that Christ was
the Agent through whom God car
ried on his creative work. The
Gospel of John In its opening
statement declares that "all th
ings were made by him (the word
of God which became flesh and
dwelth among men): and without
him was not any thing made that
was made’’ (John 1:3).
This should, above all else,
arouse in us a sense of the su
premacy of Christ in all things,
for he is designated as the agent
through whom God created the
worlds.
Jesus Christ is the brightness
of God’s glory, the express image
of his Person. Jesus himself
declared, "He that hath seen me
hath seen the Father” (John 14:9).
Christ, when he had, by the
word of his power, purged our
sins, "sat down on the right hand
of the Majesty on high; being
made so much better than the
angels, as he hath by inheritance
obtained a more excellent name
than they.”
Jesus was a heavenly being,
but he was vastly more than an
angel. Angels ministered to him
at the time of his temptation and
in his agony in Gethsamane. An
gels are the messengers of God.
Jesus Christ is God’s only be
gotten Son, one in nature, sub
stance, and purpose with the hea
venly Father Himself.
With the breaking of the clear
skies and warmer, longer days
of spring and the furor being
stirred by the Alcovy Watershed
Project, no more excuses have
been needed to head down Jack
son lake way to "investigate”
the present conditions of the Al
covy arm and the fishing poten
tial of said waters.
During the past week the water
level has dropped about two and
one-half feet and turned in color
to a deep "fishy” green. The

were raising our children and
our little boy who died at se
ven, had dogs and loved them
so much until if one got sick,
hurt or killed, he would cry
and tell me to bow my head
and he would pray for his dog
so it breaks my heart to see a
child’s pet purposely destroy
ed. somebody here hates dogs
with such a passion until they
must have a sick mind and need
help. They could solve the pro
blem be fencing their entire pro
perty, that’s what we would do
if we got to that state of mind.
I hope they have many sleepless
nights.
I know our community has
lots of dogs and several have
died lately. My grandchildren’s
dog got this poislon Saturday,
but they got to him early enough
that the veterinarian has kept
him alive up until now. I help
ed raise this Collie dog from a
small puppy. I named him Tramp.
He would protect children and
loved them, and just only a short
time ago, he whipped and ran off
a bull dog that he thought was
going to harm my neighbor’s
children. Tramp may still not
make it, and I hope I never know
who is so low down.
We’ve had dogs to tear into
our chicken pen and attack the
chickens, we have them to put
all kinds of trash in our yard,
but we’ve never killed one and
if we did, we would shoot it,
that is more humane. We can
always ask the owner to keep
their dog up, IF it’s destroying
property.
I don’t ever want another dog
because when you get so attached
to one and then something hap
pens to it, well children can’t
understand that as we do, so a
person should think of a child
Instead of the dog, when they
think of doing this horrible thing.
They must be very wicked.
I don’t know in what way they
are putting out this strychnine,
but regardless of how they do
it, some child could get a hold
of it. A small child will pick
up most anything and put it in
their mouth and if one ever gets
that poison, may God have mercy
on who ever put it out. We have
lots of small children in this com
munity and I am really con
cerned until this type of poi
soning is traced down and a
stop is put to it and I’ll do
anything I can to do just that.

JACKSON LAKE . . .
ALCOVY ARM
By
Leo S. Mallard
Waters Bridge hosts several
boats of crappie fishermen night
and day and “luck” has been
nothing short of great as smil
ing fishermen have brought out
strings and ice boxes filled with
these fish.
Bass fishing has been slow so
far but should pick up this week
end as this favorite game fish
begins to move into shallow
water. In muddy water up the Al
covy Peppy Shad and other spin
nertailed lures have produced
good catches of yearling bass with
an occasional one worth braggin’
about. Yellow and green, silver,
and shad colors have been most
productive.
In the clear water coves down
river near the spot where the
Alcovy empties into the lake
fishermen have been having some
luck on thin-fins, countdown ra
pala, and shad colored mirror
lure. It’s still a little early
for top-water lures on Jackson
unless the fish make a liar out
of me before you read this col
umn.
Trolling seems to be the most
productive for large bass on
Jackson now with several good
catches being reported by this
method between the power lin
es below Waters Bridge on down
to the mouth of the Alcovy.
Water Dogs, Hellbenders, deep
running Rapalas, Bombers, the
Spot, and other medium to deep
running shad colored lures are
producing fish when you happen
to troll the “right place at the
right time.”
Dropping the water level over
the weekend didn’t seem to bother
the crappie, but it played heck
with bass fishing out in the middle
of the coves where they were
found congregating the early part
of last week. Evidently the
big black’s headed for deep water
again until the water level stabili
zes for a spell.
Bream haven’t even been men
tioned by any of the fishermen
encountered as of yet, but they
should be bedding shortly as soon
as It gets good and hot and if
the lake level isn’t changed every
few days.
This should be the best year
for fishing on Jackson Lake in
a long time if conditions remain
favorable and a drought down
south doesn’t send an S.O.S. for
Jackson water to relieve the
plight around Macon.

provided to a Local Unit Presi
dent, from the Council, District,
State, or National level, is sheer
negligence and in my opinion a
very poor PTA leader.
Every Local PTA president
should keep well informed, by
reading any and all PTA mater
ial received by them, and in turn
pass this information on to the
local unit members.
I strongly urge each Local Unit
to study all prospective PTA
leader’s qualifications and in
terest carefully before electing
them as your PTA Officers, for
your PTA is no better than your
leaders.. This is most important
as each and every local unit is
affected by What Happens at these
various levels.
