But dig them before a hard frost. Store them in a warm, dry place for several weeks, then clean the corms and remove the tops. Save small comlets that develop. You can plant them next spring to produce new corms. For w inter storage place them in an open paper hag or tray in a cool, dry room. Cannas and dahlias should be dug up before frosts have killed the tops. First prune the tops at the soil line. Don't cut or damage the fleshy roots. Store roots in paper-lined baskets or boxes and cover with soil or peat. The soil will help keep the roots from drying out and the paper provides insulation. LIGHT YOUR WAY No matter how dark life may seem, Christ can guide you along the road to true personal happiness and joy. MEET CHRIST IN WORSHIP WITH HIS PEOPLE HERE Sunday School -10:00 A.M.

C. and New York City, re cently. For eight days the group listened to and questioned an impressive array of authorities and spokespersons re presenting African countries and interest groups. The seminar participants also had a rare opportunity to interview the press secretary for the U.S. Mission to the United Nations, specifically questioning him on U.S. foreign policy in Africa. Speakers included representatives from the American committee on Africa, the South Africa Mission to the United Nations, the United Nations Secretariat on Namibia (Southwest Africa), the Pan Afri canist Congress of Azania (South Africa). the African National Council of Zimbabwe and the Theology of the Americas Organiza tion. The seminar students discussed with the representatives the plight and progress of 17 million blacks who live in the apartheid system des cribed by the United Nations as one of racial segregation, oppression and exploitation. Most of the seminar was conducted in New York City at the Church Center for the United Nations under the direction of Ms. Betty Wright. International affairs seminars have been conducted at the Center for the past 30 years according to Ms. Wright who said, “we try to focus on particular issues being discussed on a yearly basis in the world areanas bringing in the third world view point.” Group leaders from Georgia in cluded Rev. Patrick Shannon, pastor of Villa Rica United Methodist Church, Mrs. Ruby Hurley, a member of Warren Memorial United Methodist Church and Mission coordinator in Christian Social Involvement for the North Georgia Conference, and Rev. Bert McDade, pastor of Peachtree City United Methodist Church.

In 1800 the average life expectancy at birth in this country was only 35 years of age! By 1865, it had in creased to 40; by 1919 it was 50, and today it is over 70. This is due to the vast change in the way we live: great advances in medical science, better diet, better sanitation, and more healthful clothing and houses. This is only part of what our free enterprise system has accomplished, a system that has helped make us the healthiest, richest and most dynamic country in the world. The word "explode" originally meant to drive an actor off the stage by clapping and hooting. Mansfield Church of God Sunday School 10 A.M. Sunday Worship Service 11 A.M. Sunday Night Worship 7 P.M.
