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.

Fletcher Andrews, pastor FRANKLIN BAPTIST 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.

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.

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 UziMM Is a Sia The Proverbs point out three sias m this a•• Efe.
