'SHOP AND SAVE’
IS CLAYTON THEME
DURING AUGUST
JULY 20, 1967
DEAR FELLOW MERCHANT,
The Retail Merchants’ Committee of the Clayton County
Chamber has completed plans for a “Shop and Save in Clay
ton Countv” promotion to be held during the month of August.
To help promote this event, the radio stations and local
newspapers have pledged their full cooperation. The news
papers will provide news coverage as well as logos built on
this theme. Radio station WBAD and at least two other
stations will be using “jingles’* to promote the theme. In
addition, WBAD will also be giving away approximately $3,000
in prizes.
Street banners will be used extensively to call attention to
the event. Also, It is hoped that Gov. Maddox will issue a
proclamation concerning the event.
The ultimate success, however, will be dependent upon YOU--
the merchant. All merchants, whether members of the Cham
ber of Commerce or not, are encouraged to participate.
Here are a few ideas:
1. Plan now your own store’s special promotion.
2. Plan to cooperate in the overall special advertising
with the radio and newspapers to call attention to your
business and the specials you are offering.
3. Have your sales personnel wear the specially designed
lapel buttons, free from WBAD radio. Just call 766-1707 and
they will be delivered to you.
4. Talk tills event at every opportunity to friends and ac
quaintances to help spread the word.
If you have any questions, or would like further information,
you are invited to call the chamber (478-6549) or me (366-
9494.) Let’s start now and work together to improve the re
tail climate in our area.
Sincerely,
LOU EVANS, CO-CHAIRMAN

ONE INSTITUTION TO
LAST ON EARTH
BY REV. CHARLES GOE
Pastor Ash St. Baptist Church
“To God be the glory, great
things He hath done.”
How glorious
It Is to se^
the wonderful
works of God.
God created
the family as
the beginning
Institution of
our world. It
became the
worship center
and the com
munity center
in the early days of the world. -
Government came later and as
mankind Increased on the face
of the earth we recognized the
need for Institutions and or
ganizations that developed.
Jesus told us when He was
here on the earth that there
were many Important institu
tions but one that would last
throughout eternity. He Indicat
ed that the home would not be
needed for there would neither
be marriage nor giving in mar
riage in heaven. He revealed
that earthly governments would
cease and Christ would be
crowned by all as King of Kings
and Lord of Lords. He declar
ed that even the earth would
be wiped away with a fervent
heat and a new heaven and a
new earth would come forth
from God.
The one Institution that will
last Is the Church. When He
asked His disciples who He was,
some declared “Ellas,” others
said “John the Baptist come
back from the dead,” but Si
mon Peter professed “Thou
art the Christ, the Son of the
Living God.”
Jesus responded, “Thou art
Petros, the Rock, and upon this
rock I will build my Church
and the gates of hell shall not
prevail against it.”
We know that He is talking
about the called out or the ones
who are really fully Indentified
with Him In His worldwide mis
sion.
The total area of Georgia is
37,680,640 acres. Foresters
with the University of Geor
gia Cooperative Extension Ser
vice point out that 69 percent
or 25,772,200 of these acres
are in forests.

The medium through which
we identify ourselves with
Christ is the local church. What
a glorious privilege It was Sun
day to see a new Church, the
Bonanza Baptist Mission,
come into existence. With all
of the services beginning we
rejoiced In the victories of
God, Indeed, as Paul began his
letters in the New Testament,
truly it is by the grace of God
that we see such an event and
the glory, majesty and praise
is His.
THIS IS A GROUP PLANNING the activities for the Bonanza
Baptist Mission. The Church started with Vacation Bible
School beginning July 17 and the opening services were
held Sunday, July 23. Next Sunday, July 30, Rev. Charles
Goe will preach at the Mission In the morning service
and Glenn Payne will preach Sunday evening. Full activities
are being planned for this mission church. It Is anticipated
that a pastor will be called in the near future. A dinner is
being held at the Mission House Monday evening, July 31,
at 6:30 to launch the bond sales topurchase the house and pro

Goldwater in the state. And
Charlie Brooks is regarded as
a probable entry in the same

A very prominent realtor Is

But nobody is making any de

Victory Or Else
Israel —Victory or Else. . .
That was the title of this
special film last Sunday night
on TV giving the reasons why
Israel fought, and why it fought
with such skill and valor.
Israel was fighting for its very
existence. All the Arab coun
tries, particularly Egypt, were
attempting to annihilate the
Jews, kill them down to the
last man—and woman.
That the Israelis not only
survived but also posted a spec
tacular victory was a triumph
for humanity.
The picture was quite reveal
ing that the Syrians, from their
hilltop vantage point had been
shelling Israel farmlands for
years, a harassing movement
to which the Israeli had ap
parently had little reply until
the last day of the recent six
day war.
That the Jewish army invaded
the Syrian highlands and rout
ed them out and silenced their
guns was a great victory for
its country and for all right
thinking people.
Os course we all know that
Arab-Jew hostility dates back
about 4,000 years. But for the
main portion of that time the
Israelis have been on the de
fensive trying to prevent anni
hilation—from being swept off
the face of the earth by the
Arabs. And that brings to mind
that of all the strongest hatreds
in the world today, the Arab
hatred of the Jews must be the
most diabolical.
The film emphasized one thing
for sure: spirit and cooperation
are the main things that count.
The spirit of the Israel forces
was the primary factor in their
