In May of 1919 at Dusseldorf, Germany, the Allied Forces obtained a copy of
some of the “Communist Rules for Revolution.” Over 50 years later, the Reds are
still following them. After reading the list, stop after each item and think about the
present-day situation where you live-and all around our nation. We quote from the
Red rules:
A. Corrupt the young -get them away from religion. Get them interested in sex.
Make them superficial-destroy their ruggedness.
B. Get control of all means of publicity, thereby:
1. Get people’s minds off their government by focusing their attention on
athletics, sexy books and plays, and other trivialities.
2. Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial
matters of no importance.
3. Destroy the people’s faith in their natural leaders by holding the latter up-to
contempt, ridicule and disgrace.
4. Always preach true democracy--but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as
possible.
5. By encouraging government extravangance, destroy its credit, produce fear of
inflation with rising prices and general discontent.
6. Incite unnecessary strikes in vital industries, encourage civil disorders and foster
a lenient and soft attitude on the part of government toward such disorders.
7. By specious argument, cause the breakdown of the old moral virtues - honesty,
sobriety, self-restraint, faith in the pledged word, ruggedness.
C. Cause the registration on all firearms on some pretext-with a view to
confiscating them and leaving the population helpless.
That was quite a list, wasn’t it? Now stop and think-how many of these rules are
being carried out in this naaon today? We don’t see how any thinking person can
truthfully say that the Communists do not have any part in the chaos that is
upsetting our nation-or is it just one big coincidence? (From Bulletin of The Ohio
Gun Collectors Association Inc., Dr. Everett Tracy, president.)
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not,
neither do they spin; and yet I say unto you, that even Solomon
in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." Matthew
6:28-29

"Ad Os The Week"
Wins Award
A Georgia Power Company
newspaper advertisement
featuring one of the company’s
wildlife conservation practices
has been named “Ad of the
Week” by a national
publication.
Headlined “Our rights-of-way
often serve as nurseries for
families of quail,” the ad was
cited by Utility Spotlight, an
executive service publication of
Corporate Intelligence, Inc.,
New York City.
It described a company
program under which owners
of the 130,000 acres of
transmission line rights-of-way
used by Georgia Power are paid
for one-time preparation and
planting of the land. The
owners are encouraged to plant
crops that provide feed and
cover for game birds and
animals.
The ad was selected from
among approximately 200
electric, gas, telephone and
water utility advertisements
published in the nation. It
appeared in 230 weekly and
daily Georgia newspapers.
NOTICE
AMBULANCE SERVICE
DISCONTINUED
Due to the high cost and
operation the Graham

discontinued to the public.
It will only be used in

Straight across the world
from Jacksonville, Florida, lies
Jerusalem. The latitude of
Palestine is the same as this
very section of Georgia, in fact
from South Carolina to north
Florida.
Like Georgia, Palestine has
her mountains, her plains and
her marshes. Palestine, 150
miles in length, has its
mountains of Lebanon, its
deserts on the east; the
Mediterranean on the west and
on its east is the most famous
river in all the world, the
Jordan. Born of the melting
snows of Lebanon it rushes its
way over table lands and
finally empties into the Dead
Sea. And there the
thermometer sometimes
reaches 130 degrees. No
country in the world offers
such extreme contrasts within
so limited a space.
Botanists say that there are
more different specimens of
flowers to be found in the
Holy Land than anywhere else
in the world. Many of their
flowers are familiar to us due
to the fact that its sub-tropical
climate is so similar to that of
this part of the United States.
Within a distance such as
from here to Macon, one may
see in the Holy Land such
evergreens as are to be found in
the Maine woods; the desert
flowers and growth as may be
found in the desert dryness of
our Southwest; such grandeur
on Mount Herman as is found
in the Rocky Mountains, and
the flat grain fields of that land
are very similar to the great
wheat fields of our Middle
West.
Such extremes of
temperature from the Arctic
cold of mountain tops to the
straming heat of tropical
valleys produce plants that
gr
ow in all climates and I have
heard it said that the flowers
that we know and love in our
fifty states of the Union all
grow and flourish in that little
area of holy ground. And so it
is true that the plants
mentioned in the Bible are the
living link between us and the
people of those hallowed and
distant times. The prophets of
the Old Testaments and the
great teachers of the New
Testament relied to a great
extent on symbolism to espress
their thoughts and speech.
They made use of the simple
things around them to teach
their truths through symbols.
Jesus used the flowers of the
field to make His teachings
clear to the people and He used
the trees. Even the tiny
mustard seed was given by Him
as an example of faith.
Speaking of those who shall
“flourish like the green bay
tree” a symbolic expression in
referring to the wicked.
It is said that in the Song of
Solomon there are more than
75 references to plants.
Trees often mentioned are
the palm, which is in most
cases the date palm. We saw
them growing to great heights
near the Sea of Galilee. They
flourish by oases. Jericho was
called “the city of palm trees”.
It is truly “the stately” palm,
tall and erect with its fan like
branches that were used two
thousand years ago as a symbol
of victory. Their heavy clusters
of fruit, ranging from golden
yellow to dark brown bear
little resemblance to the
product which we find on the
market in a dried state.
The lily is to be seen in
various forms. Probably one of
its most beautiful specimens is
the Lotus. Then there are
various flowers that might be
called “the lilies of the field”.
In the same manner, the rose
may have been one of many
varieties of flowers, and not
necessarily the rose as we know
it. The same flowers that we
grow here are to be found in
Israel.
Trees in that land are similar
to ours here, the oak, poplar,
pine myrtle, and cedar. It is
said that 400 cedars of
Lebanon are still growing - and
are protected - in that grove
from which the timbers were
cut to build Solomon’s
Temple. Gnarled olive trees
still grow on the Mount of
Seen and Heard
Here and There
by Helen Williams Coxon
Olives. Fruit trees are referred
to as “the trees of the field.”
On the desert and in “the
green pastures” there has been
little change. Shepherds still
tend their flocks and they still
throw stones from their slings
as did David in the Valley of
Elah when he slew Goliath.
But invasion by a mechanized
army or bombing from the air
could destroy in a few days the
cherished spots of memory and
the plant life of that country.
There are those who say; “It
just can’t happen to that sacred
land.”
South. Natural
Gas Files For
Rate Increase
John S. Shaw, Jr., President
and Chief Executive Officer of
Southern Natural Gas
Company, announced that the
Company filed new rate
schedules with the Federal
Power Commission today to
increase its rates. The increased
rates would be applicable to all
of Southern Natural’s
interstate customers who resell
the gas to the public.
Under the Federal Power
Commission’s usual procedure,
the increased rates will be
suspended until January 1,
1971 when, if the increase has
not been acted upon by the
Commission, it will become
effective subject to refund
depending upon final action by
the Commission on the merits
of the increase.
Mr. Shaw stated that the new
rates, if approved, would
provide increased revenues of
approximately $16,300,000
annually. This increase is
equivalent to an average of
approximately 7.1% or 2.76 c
per thousand cubic feet of
natural gas supplied.
Mr. Shaw further stated that
the rate increase is necessary to
provide additional revenues
sufficient to compensate
Southern Natural for a revenue
deficiency of approximately
$16.3 million resulting from
increases in costs in many of
the Company’s operations. He
said that Southern Natural has
incurred substantial increased
costs in financing and
connecting additional gas
supplies, in operation and
maintenance of its pipeline
system, in purchase of supplies,
materials and services, in
increased state and local
taxation and other operational
expenses, including salaries and
wages. Mr. Shaw observed that,
to finance its current
expansion and gas supply
projects, the Company had
recently sold $60,00000,000
of debt securities at 9.46%
annual cost, which was
substantially higher than the
cost of any other long-term
borrowing in the Company’s
history.
Additionally, Southern
Natural has constructed, or is
in the process of constructing,
very substantial additional gas
supply facilities not reflected
in the cost of service
supporting the Company’s
pending rate increase filings.
Mr. Shaw said that total
pipeline construction planned
for 1970, including expansion
of the Company’s gas supply
system, will cost
approximately $100,000,000.
These facilities are designed to
take care of all presently
contracted daily firm
requirements of Southern
Natural’s customers through
the 1971-72 winter.
It will take a little more labor
and cost extra for materials, but
horticulturists with the
Cooperative Extension Service
say even backyard gardeners
profit when they stake or trellis
their tomato vines.
It’s that time of the year when
Georgians enjoy blackberries.
Home economists with the
Cooperative Extension Service
suggest that homemakers plan
to include some of these berries
in family meals while they are in
season.
