Water Law
Inadequate,
Council Told
The Georgia Water Quality
Council, meeting in Atlanta Jan.
8, heard reports of progress in
cleaning up the state’s waters
but also heard comments that
inadequacies in the existing law
were slowing down Georgia’s
.clean water program.
In commenting specifically on
the city of Cedartown’s lack of
response to Georgia Department
of Public Health pollution cita
tions, Dr. John H. Venable,
Health Department director,
^aid:
“Under the existing Water
Quality Act of 1957 there is a
limit to how far we can go in
enforcing pollution abatement.
We must prove that a particular
discharge is creating a grave and
immediate health hazard. It is
not always possible to prove this
precise charge although we can
show that pollution definitely
exists.”
Cedartown municipal wastes
have been named by the Health
Department as creating pollution ’
of Big Cedar Creek, part of the
Coosa River basin—long under
state and federal fire as a major
state pollution problem.

SOUR SAINTS AND CHEERFUL SINNERS j
“Except your righteousness shall exceed.. Matthew 5:20
Righteousness has not always been an admirable quality
Righteous people have not always been the most lovable |
people. All of us have known some sour saints and cheerful h
sinners and at times, no doubt, have preferred the latter.
Jesus insists upon a superior type of righteousness. The !
Scribes were noted teachers of the law and the Pharisees i
were the most celebrated professors of it. They were trained
in a knowledge of the law. They counted 613 traditional com
mands in all. What more could God require but strict obe
dience to every single one of them? This they labored hard |
to do. But in their effort to be righteous they became self- :
righteous.
The main thesis of the Sermon on the Mount is to show |
that a Christian’s righteousness must go beyond self-right- |
eousness and mere external obedience to law.
“For scarcely for a righteous man will one die,” said
Paul, “yet peradventure for a good man some would even
dare to die.” As the Apostle Paul sees him, the good man is
the righteous man with an extra plus — something in addi
tion, something that makes righteousness very attractive.
The good man has righteousness with love besides.
There is a wrong kind of righteousness —a righteousness
that is hard, cold, relentless, merciless, exacting, and un
sympathetic. Such righteousness does not win our love. Right
eousness without love makes men bigots, narrow, harsh in i
judgment, intolerant, domineering, and sometimes leads them :
to become persecutors. It may have been such righteousness
as this upon which Jesus pronounced his manifold series of N
woes.
There is not better illustration of the wrong kind of zeal ;
for righteousness than that which we find in Saul of Tarsus.
He was a harsh, brutal, intolerant bigot when Jesus Christ ;
laid hold of him on the road to Damascus and changed his “
life into something beautiful and gracious. We may be sure
that there is no righteousness that is not permeated through ’
and through with love. The righteousness which is of God is
strong, compassionate, pure, loving, truthful, merciful, un
swerving in fidelity, and also humble and gracious.
Sometime ago my car became overheated and I had to
stop at the side of one of our fast expressways. Hundreds
of cars went fastly by, but I hardly pulled off the road be
fore a mechanic came to my aid. He was right behind me.
He ran several errands for me, helped me with my car, and ;
loaned me his own car to finish the journey as I left mine ;
to be hauled in. Never in all my experience had I known such
a good Samaritan. I thanked him profusely and asked, “My
friend, what church do you belong to?” Imagine my surprise i
■when he said, “I do not belong to a church.” I was aware
that no doubt hundreds of professing Christians had passed
me by.
As I thought of the extreme thoughtfulness and kind
ness of a man who did not even profess to be a Christian, I
could not help but think of the words of Jesus, “Except your
righteousness shall exceed ... ye shall in no case enter into
the kingdom of heaven.”
“Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter ■
into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of
my Father,” says Jesus.
“Not he that nameth the name
But he that doeth the will.”
Our Lord plainly expects a great deal more of saints
than he does of sinners.
'? w
payers must also furnish re
cipients of dividends and inter-,
est with a record of the amounts
reported to the government.

Things Yon Should
Know About Heart Attack
Heart attacks claim over a
half a million Americans an
nually.
But, while heart disease is our
Number One killer, on the
brighter side it should be
pointed out that the majority
of people who have heart at
tacks recover to lead near
normal, productive lives.
Before we go into their causes
and prevention, let’s consider the
heart itself ... a marvelous ma
chine beating more than 100,000
times a day to pump between
five and 10 tons of blood through
the body’s 60,000 miles of blood
vessels. Its only rest is between
beats and its incredible job is
done with only 1/60 of one
horsepower.
A heart attack—referred to
medically speaking as coronary
occulsion, coronary thrombosis
and myocardial infraction—
generally occurs when one of the
arteries supplying the heart
muscle, becomes clogged. Heart
attacks are sudden but the
clogging is believed to develop
slowly.
If a small clot forms in the
blood, is carried to a constricted
channel and becomes wedged, it
shuts off the blood supply to
part of the heart.
However, never underestimate
the wonders of the human body.
In countless numbers of cases it
is able to repair its own damage.
Often when the channel of a
diseased artery is blocked,
neighboring arteries come to the
rescue and new small branches
deliver the blood to the heart
area where the blood deficiency
has developed.
Authorities don’t, altogether
agree how the clogging or block
ing of an artery occurs.
Some blame cholesterol —a
fatty, waxy, alcohol-like sub
stance—believed important to
the young brain development,
production of hormones and an
aid to certain glands. After mid
dle age, however, heavy con
sumption of certain types of fats
is not so important land could
lead to the formation of un
needed cholesterol in the blood
stream.
Though the cholesterol ques
tion is still unresolved, the
American Heart Association rec
ommends “the reduction of fat
consumption, under medical su-

pervision, with reasonable sub
stitution of polyunsaturated fats
as a possible means of de
' creasing the risk of heart at-I
tacks and strokes.”
What can I do to prevent a
heart attack? That’s a ques
tion doctors are most frequently .
asked.
Weight control is certainly
most important, but dieting
isn’t the complete answer. The
amount of fats in the diet, high
blood pressure, emotional stress, I
lack of exercise, heredity, and a
person’s age and sex are other
factors. (Women, you know, have;
fewer heart attacks than men.)
Forget extremes. As you grow
older, don’t work or play as if,
you were a youngster. Exercise
regularly, but moderately. Ease
up—be your age—don’t let ten
sions and anxieties wear youl
down . . . learn to relax mentally
' and physically.

Many Motorists
Now Get Protection
On Uninsured
Approximately one million
Georgia motorists with auto
liability insurance received un
insured motorist protection after
January 1 as a result of a law
passed by the state legislature,
according to George M. Erwin, |
of Atlanta, president of the
Georgia Association of Inde
pendent Insurance Agents.
The new law requiring all in
surance companies to add the
additional coverage was passed
last year by the General Assem
bly to protect citizens from
being financially damaged by
drivers who are unable to pay
for the damages they cause.
Another bill passed last year will
strengthen the Financial Re
sponsibility Law if it goes into
effect as scheduled on March 15.
Uninsured motorist protection
reimburses the insured motorist
for property damage, injuries
and death caused by financially
irresponsible motorists, unin
sured drivers, hit-and-run
drivers, and operators of stolen
cars. It is a standard insurance
policy already offered by most
insurance companies.
Mr. Erwin said those motorists
already having uninsured mo
torist protection need not take
3a fe Driven are rewarded! If you have been a NO ACCI
DENT DRIVER for one year, you earn a substantial
SAVING on your Automobile Policy. Your "American"
Representative will be glad to explain this SAVING to
you.

any action. Other motorists with
auto liability insurance will
have the new coverage added to
their policies on the first anni
versary date of their policies
after January 1.
The law requires that the in
surance companies add the un
insured motorist protection to
the insurance policies, Mr. Erwin
said. A motorist may reject the
additional coverage by writing
to his agent, however.
Day Care Centers
Giving 'Good Care'
Can Continue
Day care centers which have
adequate facilities to provide
good care for children under
three years of age will be
allowed to continue to provide
this service.
Day care centers which can
provide the proper kind of "spe
cial” care for children under
three will be licensed under the
new rulings to be adopted at an
early date.
Youth Board Chairman Mrs.
Bruce Schaefer explained that
“the initial ruling had been
widely misunderstood. It was
not intended to imply that chil
dren under three could not be
cared for outside their own
homes. Obviously many families
must have such a service.
