Outstanding Session
Draws Largest
Crowd To College
An impressive array of talent com
bined with the largest crowd of the
year made the last session of the Col
lege on the Chattahoochee the best
yet. Ralph McGill. Editor of the At
lanta Constitution, brought along w hat
he called his “Atlanta Faculty” which
consisted of Mayor Hartsfield, Harley
Branch. President of Georgia Power
and Arthur Harris, president of At
lanta Freight Bureau. And also the
panel included the Hon. Jack Flynt,
our newly elected congressman from
the Fourth Distirct.
Mr. McGill opened the evening with
a graphic account of some of the ro
mantic history of our river. Then Ma
yor Hartsfield, of the City of Atlanta
gave a brief inside view of the prob
lems involved in the further develop
ment of the river for navigational
purposes. Mr. Harris, the man most
interested in the river for commerce,
pointed out that we in Heard should
be most interested because of the vast
quantities of granite, wood products,
and other natural resources which
could be moved on the river from our
county, in addition to the splendid re
creational benefits to be derived. Mr.
Branch then discussed the shilauette
of the river, wtuch was important be
cause it showed how much the level
of the river would need to be raised
in order to ship freight into Atlanta.
It was interesting that the level at
Use river here would need to be 655 ft.
fa order to have the required lift
He said aloe that the nw would be J
developed, bat it would take time to'
have it done.
Congressman Flynt then pointed
out that he £ad campaigned on the
plank that he would do all legislative- I
Jy possible to see that this dream
might become a reality. He said that
he felt that most of us would see this
development within the next decade
or at least "tn the next twenty-five
years. Fletcher Andrews was modera
tor of the paneL Attendance at this
session was well over the one hund
dred mark.
NEXT SESSION ON RECREATION
The next session of the College will
be held Wednesday night November 10
with the general theme of Recreation

how we can do the most for our child
ren in the field of' Recreation.

CHURCH NEWS
I Our church will be represented at ■
the Associational Sunday School meet
ing at Senoia Baptist Church on Nov.
7. at 3:00 pm. Mr. N A. Rogers will
lead the adult workers in a discuss-
. ion. This discussion will not only be
t interesung but profitable als< Each
one is invited to bring his ideas and
experiences and present them for dis
cussion.
The Sunday Schools of this associa
tion made a 21% gain during 1954. A
close study shows that this gain was !
made largely by the Sunday Schools
. that attended these monthly meetings
and promoted study courses in their
churches.
One real way to give support to the
program of our church is to be pre
sent at just as many services as poss
ible. Such loyalty win create enthus
iasaa and build genuine interest. Let <
. us keep on improving. :

Work Worthwhile
Lesson for October 31. 195*
COME very kind-hearted person
remarked that semet-ung good
could be said about everybody
What good vculd you say of the
cevil?" he was asked. ' Well,” he
answered, ' the devil’s a mighty
hard worker!" —which goes to
show that work, by itself, is not
necessarily a good thing It de
pends on what you I
work at and on *
what comes of d
your efforts Work I
is certainly not j
good if it doeo ’
harm. If only the .
devil had been g
bom lazy, bow I
much better this I
world might be! "

no use at all And the exercise
itself might be better gotten in
other ways.
WartsMi Vatos
Work has dignity work is worth
while. only ander certain condi
tions One es these csnditlane can
be expressed in this way: Does
the work increase or create value’ I
A piece of iron is worth far less
than the same iron made z»to steel
watch springs The work done adds
to the cost. at Hmt. but also to
the real value. A weedy, eroded .
field is not worth what the same
field is worth when it has beer
worked, fertilized, planted cul
tivated and a fin* crop of pota
toes, cotton, wheat or what not s
growing there. Kar! Marx pointed
this out tn the 19th century odr
he everieeked semetbing tßspor
taat. He seems to have had tee
notion that the only work that adds
to the value cf things is manual
tabor.

physical work in the course of a
week to raise a drop of perspira
tion But his plans and decisions
। are work too. and they may add
more value to what his plant turns
out than any 3) stevedores or. the
, place.
Wark and Character
Work has dignity too. and it is
worthwhile when it produces that
I highest of all values, character
The many contrasts in Pre-erts
between the worker and the lazy
lout bring this out. The worker
is not only adding to the sum of
values in the world, he is binding
his own character The hand of the
diligent shall rule, one Prrr.erb
says That is. the worker grows
capable by the very work he does.
The reward of good work is not
usually a vacation but a promo
tion. that is to say. a chance to
tin more work on a larger scale.
Most Presidents of the Unrted
States, however capable they were
when they were elected, left the
White House abler me*, than when
they entered Thi< is all just M
true on the humbler levels of life.
All work has dignity, all work is
worthwhile, when it adds to hu
man values and when it builds
the character of the worker. A
garbage collector is adding to the
health-values of the community;
and if he is a good one ‘no staffed
blue shirt!) he can be growing in
character too There it a certam
professional cleaner of grease
traps who looks on his work with
such pride and satufacticn that
he has been an inspirer of other
men
