POINT OF VIEW
— By JACK TROY —
Kenneth Marvin Fielder, 12, is dead. It is a fact’ not easy to
accept by either his family of Rex or his young friends of East
Clayton School, his community or the Intermediate Sunday School
class of the Rock Baptist Church. He would have been in the
seventh grade this fall.

KENNETH FIELDER
In his untimely passing, Kenneth Fielder’s life is brought
more sharply into focus than it would have been in the normal
course of events. His deeply religious feelings will not have been
in vain.
Two years before he became a member of the Rock Baptist
Church at age 10 and a regular in attendance, he had organized
a little club of six members —a Bible Cross Club, like a Sunday
School class — that met every Saturday.
The class started by reading a chapter in the Bible and a
salute to the flag. They sang songs, collected Bible pictures and
did handwork.
Kenneth’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Fielder, operators of
the Halehaven Grocery store, Rex, only realized the true nature
of the club after Kenneth’s death when they read his scrapbook
and were filled in on other details by daughter Brenda.
They knew he was deeply religious and that he was very
helpful at the store without being asked to work, and they knew
that he was always urging his young companions to go to Sunday
School. J
At age 8 he had formed his own Bible Cross club ....
- in-his-bi tef lifetime he exerted more good on his young friends
than many people whose lives run the normal span. “A child shall
lead them . . . . ”
Kenneth rests in the quiet cemetery at the Rock Baptist
Church, but his inspiring memory and the work he did for the
Lord will live on forever.
William Smith Jr. Named
To Farmers Committee
William C. Smith, Jr., Route 1, Riverdale, Georgia is
the new member of the Farmers Home Administration
Clayton county committee, R. W. Jackson, county super
visor announced this week.
Mr. Smith’s appointment be
came effective July 10, 1956. The
committee on which he will
serve determines the eligibility
of local farmers who apply for
Farmers Home Administration
loans.
The new committeeman oper
ates a Grade A Dairy near River
dale. Mr. Smith succeeds Mr. C.
Ray Mitchell of Rex, Georgia,
whose term expired this year.
The other two committeemen
are Mr. A. R. Adams, Route 1,
Morrow, Georgia and Mr. T. R.
Sullivan, Route 2, College Park,
Georgia, both of whom are well
known Grade A Dairy operators
of Clayton County.
Each agricultural county in
the country has a similar com- 1
mittee of three members who
are responsible for determining
loan applicants’ eligibility, cer
tifying the value of farms being
purchased or improved through
Farmers Home Administration
loans, and making recommenda
tions on loan approvals and loan
servicing actions.
Each member is named for a
3-year term and one appoint
ment expires each year. A mem
ber completing his 3-year term
cannot succeed himself. At least
two of the members must be
farmers.
The committee works with the
county supervisor in connection
with all types of loans. These in
clude farm operating loans and
loans to buy, improve, or enlarge
efficient family-type farms in
this area. They also include
loans to farmers or their non
profit associations to establish
and carry on approved soil and
water conservation practices in
cluding improving permanent
pastures, terracing, soil erosion
measures, farmstead water sys
tems, irrlghtion, drainage, and
many other conservation prac
tices.
Most of the soil and water con
servation loans and loans to buy
or improve farms are made from
funds advanced by private lend
ers and insured by the agency.
Some of these loans, however,
and all loans for operating
farms, are from annually ap
proved funds.
The agency makes emergency
loans in areas designated for ,

He was such a fine boy. Everyone
who knew him loved him, but not

Kenneth’s life was taken in a

No loans of any type can be

Clayton County
Savings Bond Sales
Al 46 Per Cent
How is Clayton County doing
in Savings Bonds sales at the
halfway mark?
Let’s check how our E & H
Band sales show up as of the end
of June, when "par” would be
just half of our year’s goal.
The record shows, according to
Jewell A. Garner, Chairman of
our Savings Bonds Committee,
that combined sales so far this
year have amounted to $264,807,
or 46.4% of our 1956 goat
In a statement encouraging
everyone to “start and then stick
to” a sound thrift program, the
Chairman pointed out what such
a plan can mean after retire
ment. “A man in his forties,” he
said, "can, by saving only $37.50
a month in E Bonds, be assured
of a regular monthly income of
$67.34 after retirement in his
sixties—and no question about it.
And in the meantime the Bonds
will be actually safer than cash,
because they can be replaced if
he accidentally loses of mutilates
them.”

KI WANIS KORNER
By Capt. Charles S. Roberts Jr.
The Forest Park Kiwanis Club
held their regular meeting July
19, 1956 at the Youth Center. Mr.
T. F. Nicholson and Mr. Lin
wood Nash were visitors.
The speaker was Eneomologist
Kenneth Parkinson from the
. Bureau of Entomology and Plant
Quarantine of the Department
’ of Agriculture. He presented a
i frtm which ctohmerhbraeed the
, One Hundredth Anniversary of
the Bureau and answered many
questions following the film.
. Insects are probably man’s
J greatest competitor because of
' their remarkable reproductivity
and their adaptability to change:
, Fortunately for the human race
a very small fraction of them
: survive to multiply, due to the
' effective balance which nature
J uses to keep them in check.
, However, the changes .in the
( natural balance wrought by man
, in his never-ending struggle to
produce more food, cause the
insect to gain the upper hand
, temporarily. At least in some
areas this results, in a four bil
lion dollar insect bill for the
United States, yearly.
Many insects are of help to
mankind in that they cross
pollinate flowers, provide honey
and act as a control in the bal
ance of nature. Some insects war
upon other insects using their
cousins for food. Others act as
parasites using a larger insect
for a host. An infestation may be
kept under control by importing
another insect which will de
stroy the original pest. Other
, control measures are quaran
tines,' proper garbage and sew
age disposal) insecticides, viral
infections which infect various
species of noxious insects and
many other ingenious biological
techniques.
Birds, reptiles, fish and some
. mammals utilize insects as food
and also help in the balance.
