Hunting Dates
New hunting regulations for the
1966 fall season were announced
today by the Georgia Game and
Fish Commission.
Basically, there are no major
changes in the regulations from
last year. Most notable of the
changes was the setting of deer
season a week later than be
fore.
Deer season in coastal coun
ties will be Oct. 29 through
Jan. 5, in northern and middle
Georgia counties Nov. 5
through Nov. 28, and in all
other counties that are open,
from Nov. 5 through Jan. 5.
Hubert Handy, coordinator of
game management for the Com
mission, said the season was put
a week later in an effort to
coincide with the breeding or
rutting period.
“Deer are more active dur
ing their breeding season, and
it’s easier to hunt bucks at that
time,” he explained.
Archery season, he said, will
be a week longer this year,
with that season set for Oct.
1 through Oct. 29. He pointed out
that archery hunters may not
carry a firearm of any kind
during archery-only hunts.

Archers may hunt during gun
seasons as well. Also, muzzle
loaders may be used during re
gular gun hunts, but Handy
pointed out that a change in re
gulations this year requires that
all muzzle loaders used for deer
hunting must be of .40 caliber
or larger.
Four new counties have been
added to the list of those open
this year for deer hunting. They
are Rockdale, Walton, Wilkin
son and Schley counties. This
brings the total number of deer
counties to 83.
Also, all of Lincoln County
will be open to hunting this year.
Half of the county was open
last year. One county, Lanier,
was closed to deer hunting this
year.
Squlrrell season will be Oct.
15 to Feb. 28 statewide this
year. The limit will be 10
daily. Coon season is Oct. 29

ATTENDING BIBLE SCHOOL
IS A CHERISHED PRIVILEGE
BY REV. CHARLES GOE
Pastor Ash St. Baptist Church
One of the thrilling things that
takes place every summer Is
the opportun-
ity to work in
Vacation Bible
School. This
has long been
a cherished
privilege in
my mind and I
look forward
to it with great
anticipation
every year.
There Is the
privilege of working with men
and women in a close relation
ship as they guide the Ilves of
boys and girls In a very Im
portant ministry.
It was my privilege to be one
of the first people to go com
pletely through a Vacation Bi
ble School. I started In the

CLLB NEWS
WE HAVE A PROBLEM
Since we have been alter
nating meetings Tuesday morn
ing and Tuesday evening we have
run Into a problem. When we
get to our meeting room we
find that there are other peo-"
pie In the room having break
fast. Others have come on In
even when our meeting was In
progress. This should not be.
But yet, should we ask James
to reserve the whole area for
us when people need a place
to eat and we are not fulfilling
our quota at the table. The
only solution is to get more
Optimists and the whole room
will be reserved. It can cause
an uncomfortable situation all
around. Won’t you take your
place at the breakfast table.
CONGRATULATIONS GRADS
We had three that I know of
representing our club families
at recent Forest Park High
graduation. These were Honor
Graduate Bonnie Reynolds, dau
ghter of Optimist and Mrs. Ger
ald Reynolds; Bob McLendon,
son of Optimist and Mrs. Perry
McLendon, and Tommy Allen,
son of Optimist Ed Allen.
I am sure that there are others
who need congratulating. Please
send a note on them.
The club was Indeed surprised
happily to have Jay Connally
in attendance last week. Jay Is
on active duty overseas but
was home due to surgery of
wife, Maryann. Understand sur
gery was successful and that
she will be active again real
soon.

an occasional thorough clean

Nursery Dept, of the Calvary
Baptist Church in Hannibal,
Mo., and went every year
through the Intermediate Dept.
In those days some of our Bi
ble Schools, In fact most of
them, lasted at least a month.
Occasionally there would be
one for six weeks. This was
the time when we anticipated the
joyous fellowship together.
I remember making several
things that still occupy the
home of my mother. I remem
ber studying the Word of God
and some of the stories that
were told by our teachers are
still fresh on my mind. I re
member the joyous experience
of playing with friends and
meeting them and the fellow
ship that we found In definite
Bible study. The book of Acts
came alive In a very real way
when I was an Intermediate and
took notes In this Bible School
study.
All of these events In my life
go to say to those here in For
est Pa^k, Vacation Bible
Schools are under way. How
thrilling It Is also to realize
the joy that Is ours this year.
In talking with friends from
other churches I find very large
crowds have already assembl
ed and many people are find
ing great happiness in serv
ing Christ and In telling others
about Him this summer. It is
my privilege to tell the char
acter story in the opening as
sembly. The intermediates
meet by themselves. The be
ginners, nursery and primary
children have already gone so
it is only the junior children who
remain for tills particular
event. On the opening day we
discussed Dr. Cameron Town
send, a man who had been able
to transcribe the Bible into
many languages. Here he really
translated that which could
come alive for many in the
language of their own people.
As he went to the World’s
Fair in 1964 he found a
thrilling experience, because
here tribute was being paid to
the thousand tongues In which
the Bible had been translated.
But yet there was a great con
cern on his part to translate
It also Into the 2,000 more
tongues where people could
know the Word of God.
Dr. Cameron Townsend train
ed many young people to go to
clinics and thereby become
missionary translators. They
would go and live in the jun
gles without any of the com
forts of home In order that
they might understand and know
tiie language of the j^ople. What
a thrill it is as lie determines

to make the God of the Christ

know only paganism. This, of
course, is the message of
Christ.
We also rejoice In the second
day. The story of Dr. Ida Scud
der, one who had said and vow
ed that she would never be
come a missionary, that she
would not subject her own fam
ily to the problems she had
had of loneliness when her par
ents were In India...but three
knocks at the door In one day,
where they refused a male doc
tor, convlenced her that she
should go and get the training
so she could save the lives of
these people dying because of
their superstitions. Dr. Scud
der not only trained herself
to be a doctor, but she set up
a training school there In India
where many people were train
ed In the way of the medical
missionary and how wonderful
it has been with tributes from
all over the world. Dr. Ida
Scudder has been significant
in the lives of many people.
If you have not already en
rolled in Vacation Bible School,
if you are not helping In Bible
School, you are missing one of
the greatest treats you could
know this year. Take time to
day to enroll and realize the
motto of several years ago,
“I will do the best I can with
what I have where I am for
Jesus’ sake today”.
Many Widows
Os Vets Can
Get Pensions
Many widows and children of
deceased World War II and
Korean War veterans are eli
gible, but have not applied, for
Veterans Administration pen
sions, Director Pete Wheeler
said today.
Under the law, only Income
limitations and remarriage bar
the eligibility of a wartime
veteran’s widow to pension.
Congress passed this law In
1960. Before then, widow’s pen
sion eligibility also required
the deceased veteran have had
a service-connected disability
at the time of his death. This
restriction is no longer in the
law, and many widows whose ap
plications were previously de
nied because their veteran-hus
band had no service-connected
disabilities should re-apply for
pension, Wheeler said.
