Jonesboro Methodist Church The regular business meeting of the Women's Society of Chris tian Service of the Jonesboro Methodist Church met Nov. 1 in the new annex. The president, W s - J. O. Hightower, Jr., wel comed the members and guests. Visitors from Forest Park W. S. C. S., Jones Memorial and Mor row attended and were given a hearty welcome. Mrs. Tommy Clonts, vice-president, made a short talk on World Federation of Methodist women. Mrs. John Burton read a re port on present status of Ameri can Indians, including 10 reso lutions which are now before Congress. The society voted to recommend by letters to Con gress that these resolutions be adopted. This is action which resulted by a recent study by the society on the American In dian. Mrs. Roddy Turner reported $52.60 given for Week of Prayer offreing. Mrs. Frank Prince re ported $50.00 collected by the children on Halloween nigh.t This fund is to go through U. N. I. C. E. F. to buy milk for children overseas. All four circles reported good attendance and splendid pro > grams. Circle No. 4 had as their guest speaker in October Mrs. Helen Denton. Her talk was based on first hand knowledge, of American Indians, she being a former resident of Dakota. This was a follow-up program of the recent Indian study. Circle No. 1 reported money on hand for a missionary spe cial. While it has not been de cided where it will go, it is al most certain that it will be sent to one of the countries studied in the current class. Following the business session Mrs. Sam Mozley launched the first of three classes on a mis sion study based on the book, "This Revolutionary Faith.” Her talk, “Chrisitan Missions in a Revolutionary World” pointed out the changes in the recent years. “There is great opportu nity as man is rubbing the dust from his eyes and looking at the stars.” A panel led by Mrs. Frank Prince discussed the five forces at work in the world.

POplar 7-0805, cussed ancient religions, Mrs. Lon Key’s subject was material ism. She told of an incident in which a man had exchanged his wife for a bicycle—materialism at it's worst. Mrs. Joe Callo way discussed nationalism, Mrs. A. A. Clonts, communism, and an empty chair represented Christianity, which all too often was found missing in this study of foreign lands. A general dis cussion followed and many help ful thoughts were expressed Mrs. Dick Bowden, of Forest Park WJS.C.S., brought out the fact that our best friends in for eign countries are the native Christians and that our hope lies in them. This session was closed by a reading written by a negro, Darius Leander Swann. Mrs. Mozley gave this in a most impressive manner. An international luncheon was served by the hostesses, Mrs. J. E. Dillard, chairman, assisted by Mrs. W. A. Evans, Mrs. B. F. Book, Mrs. Hoke Cartledge and Mrs. R. B. Ivey. All dishes were foreign, beautifully prepared and delicious. The menu was as fol lows: Olives (Africa), Ball Clrrry (India), Stangenspargul (Aus tria), Rice (China), Fruit Salad (Argentina), Guacamole (Mexi can), French Bread, Swedish Rye Bread, Pasta Frula (Uru . guay), Russian Tea, Coffee (Bra zil). The table decorations were most attractive and symbolic. One centerpiece represented the sending of care packages. A transport ship sailed along the center loaded with tiny care packages. Another was a farm scene, symbolic of our country’s efforts to assist the farmers in foreign lands. Still another was an educa tional scene with the books and teachers carrying educational facilities to underpriviledged peoples. The center table had , in the center a world globe and praying people of the world. A , mobile clinic furnished another motif. Rev. W. H. Clark and , Rev. Frank Prince were special guests at the luncheon. After lunch the Morrow W. S. C. S. presented the second part ; of the study. Mrs. Vivian Ham mack was the leader, Mrs. Eva 3 White pianist. Mrs. H. L. Coch ran talked on the subject, “Hun ger for Food,” pointing out that this is the greatest danger to the world. Mrs. R. P. Bowdon presented “Hunger for Land and Home,” saying “We in a land of plenty should be concerned with the landless and homeless around the world.” Hunger for Health was the subject given by Mrs. Belton Haynie. She stressed the fact that we take health for granted while in other lands sickness and suffering is taken for granted. This completed the first class. The second and third classes were announced for Nov. 3 and 8 to complete the study.

Cravey, is showing favorable results, and the Georgia Consumer Finance Association is dedicated to the provision of friendly loans to the individual— at legal rates—and on a fair, regulated basis. America’s economy is based on sound credit, and just about everyone — at one time or another — finds that he must borrow money to meet a need. Whan you do, remember that it it Georgia's Industrial loan Act which assures you of protection from would-be loan sharks. Clayton. County Views BY MRS. PAULINE BRANYON U. S. Senator Dick Russell of Winder is lots kinder to the peo ple than our other U. S. Sen ator. Sen. Russell knows his peo ple, his voters, his country, and he loves them all , especially what you call your country and mine. He calls a spade a spade, and the politicians and the left wingers with their Red-slingers can’t pe ^uade him to say he is for Adlai (Stevenson, that is). And so 'tis, and that is every body’s biz. Neither is he for Ke fauver who tries to reform everybody but himself in his left-wing way, be what is may. Neither is he for A.D.A. Gover nor of New York, Mr. Harriman who is no carryman for his country, yours or mine, and so on right down the line for left wingers who would like to “sell us out", and go another route. Sen. Russell who by all fair and honest votes should be the President of the folks, is too big for the left-wingers; they can’t tie him to Russia, no matter if the}’ promise to dutch-er. How ever, like all GOOD Southern ers. Sen. Russell doesn’t stand a chance (YET) for being elected President. The Damn Yankees and the left-wing Westerners (West of Texas, we mean) could not stand to have a Southerner holding the scene and the spot light. Russell and GOOD, true Southern statesmen ,are too far from RIGHT to stoop to the left. However, Sen. Russell, who plainly states that the above three left-wingers are too far left, is not bereft of a candidate. He plays up to Gov. Lausche of Ohio who has been in his Gover nor’s chair for six terms, going on, so if you are prone to like anybody who won’t sell to Rus sia, or who will promise (and keep that promise) to take Rus sia and search-er, then get busy and cut out the propaganda about Adlai, Kefauver, Harri man. They get everyone’s dander up when they begin to squeal they can seal the people’s vote in a boat, then wrap it all up with Russia’s coat. Sen. Russell is not for Com munism, he is not charmed with the Soviets’ smiles as Sen. George is. He has travelled miles in Russia, and he still thinks they are not to be trusted even if they go “busted”. Sen. Rus sell never sits on the fence, but he is for adequate defense with plenty of guns and powder to blow Russia’s top. He knows REGISTER NOW! Deadline for Registering to Vote in the Dec. 3 Regular City Election in Forest Park, Georgia, is Saturday, November 12, at 12:00 noon. Deadline for Qualifying to Run in This Election is the Same.

Unless we can be ready to stand on our own, and stop each phoney loan. Our own means true Ameri canism, and some of that has flown over to Communism. We need statesmen like Russia, Tal madge, and the American Legion in our region for we surely have the left-wingers in our midst. They try to soft-soap us into hanging ourselves with our own rope, but we are waking up from the cup of sleeping druge hidden under our rugs. Don’t let left-wing newspapers tell you what to do, but tell them you will give them your view. Tell them to go and ped dle their papers in other places with mixed races, Red faces, and a little dynamite mixed up in the cases. You might start the ball rolling by tolling the bells of advertising to them. If 1 enough customers demand that advertisers (the bread and meat of newspapers) stop their ads in left-wing papers they might dance a few capers at first, but a pressure of people’s rights and mights can stop any fights against- Americanism. , We .are a small newspaper, but we can cut a caper with any , news rag that isn’t RIGHT. We never move LEFT, we stay PUT ; with our hands, our heads and our hearts ready to open the . eyes of our neighbors. Now that ; is Four-H stuff, but isn’t that enough? Those Four-H’ers are ! the backbone of our country, ' and some day soon will be ready , to go steady with real Ameri canism, and help to light the way from left to RIGHT. 1 • Jonesboro Boy Frosh Counselor i Jerry Chambers, Jonesboro, is . one Os nearly 40 University of 3 Georgia men students who are 3 serving this fall as counselors to i freshmen students.

WOOTAN I can remember back in the 1880's to 1890’s when we would! have big snows and sleets nearly every winter. Six to eight inches of snow would fall very often then. In February, 1899 we had eight inches of snow with the coldest weather on record for this section. The temperature went down to B*/2 below zero and a lot of wild birds froze to death. In the winter of 1904 and 1905 we were living in East Point. We had a big sleet. The car track stopped at East Point then and the sleet and Ice caused the trolley wires to break and it took the power company a week to repair the get car service back to East Point. In the winter of 1936 and 1937 we had a big snow and sleet and at that time we were living in Hapeville. Hape ville’s water supply was furnish ed by two artesian wells and the electric wires were down and we had no water. This happened on a Saturday night so all day Sun day I would gather icicles off of the eaves of the house and garage and melt them down for water We were lucky to have gas heat in our house and to also have a gas stove to cook on. That was the last big snow we have had as far as I can remember. Some thing tells me that we are due WE ARE GONNA TALK ABOUT WHAT FOREST PARK NEEDS! Last week we talked about Complacency. This week we are going to talk about needs. We need a paid Fire Department. Now why do we need a paid Fire Department? First, the reduction it would bring about in insurance. Next, the prestige it would add to our city. We are expecting new business every day. Let’s at least not discourage them by having a volunteer Fire Dept. Let’s let them know our firemen are ready and trained and ready to go. The whole town could burn down while we are calling our firemen. Y'ALL COME ...

Nelson Tift, Albany has grown into an important industrial city and leading market for Paper shell Pecans and Spanish Peanuts, as well as a livestock and meat-packing center. Radium Springs, Georgia’s largest, discharges 70,000 gallons of radioactive water per minute, and is the site of a famed resort. Turner Air Force Base and the Marine Supply Depot are important national defense establishments in Dougherty County. In Dougherty County and throughout Georgia, the U. S. Brewers Foundation works constantly to assure the sale of beer and ale under pleasant, orderly conditions. Be lieving that strict law enforcement serves the best interest of the people of Georgia, the Foundation stresses close coopera tion with the Armed Forces, law enforcement and governing officials in its continuing ’’self-regulation” program. f United States Hreuers Foundation " FTrWTTRWM zirM/ Suite 219,710 1^ st., tv. e. fou** Atlanta, Georgia one this coming winter. It seems to me we don’t 'have the hard winters like we once did. When 1 was a little boy a hard freeze would come and it was so cold in our kitchen that Mother would cook on the fire coals on the hearth and put our food on top of a big flat trunk and we would eat in the living room by the fire. LET’S REMEMBER GOOD RULES TO LIVE BY:— “You need not be discouraged to procliam the gospel of Jesus Christ, some may refuse but ’ others will accept it.” If we are true children of God . we believe that our Father is good and is ever ready and able to help us day by day and in every hour of need. Wisdom is to know what is . best worth knowing and to do . what is best worth doing. 1 Nobody ever outgrows the • scriptures even though the Bible : widens and deepens as we read 1 it and grows older each year. Divorce statistics show that a : home based upon a religious 1 faith shared by both’ the hus s band and wife is in little danger I of failure. Scandal is like an egg— when it hatches it has wings.
