I Milk j
The Georgia Milk Commis
sion has filed a case in the
Fulton Superior Court re
questing an injunction
against milk producer-dis
tributor Little River Farms,
Inc., and three food chain
super markets for failure to
comply with the Georgia
Milk Commission’s suggested
retail price for milk and
failure to file a sash receipe
with the Commission.
The three food chains are
Big Apple Super Markets of
Bolton Road, Inc., The
Kroger Co., and Winn-Dixie
Stores, Inc.
Little River Farms and
three chains are presently
selling a gallon of milk for
99c, 12c below the Commis
sion’s suggested retail price.
The injunction asks that
the above mentioned con
cerns abide by the Georgia
Milk Commision laws.
In 1951, the State Supreme
Court held that price fixing
by the Georgia Milk Com
mission was unconstitu
tional; however, In 1952 the
Georgia General Assembly
re-enacted an amended Milk
Control Law under which
the Milk Commission has
operated since.
The Milk Commission con
tends that during the past
ten years, there have been
significant changes in the
over-all economic picture of
the state and nation, which
have drastically altered the
dairying industry and the
present and anticipated sup
ply of milk In Georgia and
the nation.
For 10 or 15 years, the na
tion enjoyed a surplus of
milk and milk products
which has depleted In the
past few years.
In addition, the capital
investment per dairy farm
in Georgia has skyrocketed,
requiring at present an av
erage investment In excess
of 100,000 dollars, due to in
creased land values and
labor shortages that have
necessitated milk producers
to purchase more expensive
labor saving devices.
Opportunity
To Learn
First Aid
Mrs. W. J. Lee, Red Cross
First Aid Chairman for
Clayton County, announced
that local residents would
have an opportunity to learn
techniques of first aid.
“The importance of know
ing how to prevent acci
dents and assist the injured
cannot be over-emphasized,”
she said. “Training In first
aid often means the differ
ence between life and death
for someone who requires
emergency treatment. And,
an accident prevention pro
gram in every family can do
much to eliminate needless
mishaps around the home.”
“Anyone interested in
either of these free courses,”
Mrs. Lee added, “should call
me at 761-6522 or the Red
Cross office in Forest Park,
366-2228. before March 10.
Time and dates of the
classes will be scheduled ac
cording to preferences of
those wishing to enroll.”

REPORTS FROM THE UNITED STATES SENATE
|
THE PRESIDENT, in recommending broad legislation “to
insure the public safety,” for the second year has used some very
strong language about the crime problem in America.
He warned against allowing a breakdown of public order,
and deplored the fact that in many areas American citizens are
afraid to use the public streets. He cautioned against the conse
quences of contempt and mistrust of legally established authority.
"Lawlessness is like a plague,” declared the President, and
one Washington newspaper stated that no one can accuse him of
exaggeration. In his crime message to Congress, he pointed out
that more than 7 million people each year come into contact with
the law in America, and on any day over 400,000 are confined
in correctional institutions.
He further commented that probably more than twice as
many aggravated assaults, burglaries and larcenies occur than
are reported. And it is shocking to note that crime is highest in
the 15 to 21 age group, with 50 per cent of arrests for burglaries
involving youths under 18.
♦ ♦ «
IN RECENT YEARS crime in the United States has in
creased at a rate about six times that of our population growth.
It is indeed a sad commentary.
And the situation is further confounded by the ill-advised
philosophy of taking the law into one’s own hands, of taking to
the streets in massive and lawless demonstrations, and of violat
ing laws one doesn't agree with.
This trend must be reversed. Public order is the first business
of government, as the President has stated.
* • *
ALTHOUGH THE PRESIDENT made some far-reaching
suggestions, he was silent on what I believe to be one of the
most critical problems in law enforcement today: court decisions
which hamper rather than help law officers and which show more
concern for the rights of the criminal than for the rights of law
abiding citizens.
Such an undue burden has been put on policemen that they
are greatly handicapped in the investigation and prosecution of
crime. Corrective legislation, which I am cosponsoring, is pend
ing before the Congress, and I hope it will be given the considera
tion it deserves.
If crime is to be abated, law enforcement must be given the
tools with which to work.

On Christ, The Solid Rock, I Stand
A Cabinet Maker Takes Up Writing
“On Christ, the solid rock, I stand; all
other ground is sinking sand.” That line
ran over and over in the mind of a 34-
year-old London cabinet maker as he
walked toward his woodworking shop more
than a century ago.
Edward Mote was happy. He had
learned his trade; had worked at it for
wages and now he ran a woodworking
business of his own. Always busy, Mote
spent his spare hours writing articles for
London periodicals. And, now and then,
when a key line would come to him, he
tried his hand at writing verse. But most
of all Edward Mote was happy because
his once confused mind was settled on his
belief in God. He had been brought up
in a home where the Bible was not per
mitted and his playground had been the
streets of London. But after he became
a man he attended Trottenham Court
Road Chapel where sermons of the re
nowned John Hyatt set his mind at ease.
Edward Mote’s cabinet shop ran itself
that day in 1834. He had a theme for a
poem and he wanted to get it on paper.
Closeted in his little office he wrote the
caption “Gracious Experience of a Chris-
My hope is bui’l on nothing less
Thon Jesus' blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus' name.
When darkness seems to hide His face
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale.
My anchor holds within the vale.

tian” and, as he put it, “In the day I had
four verses complete and wrote them off.”
The Sunday following Mote went to the
home of a minister friend whose wife was
near death. Groping for words, the cabinet
maker thought of his verses. He sang them
for the dying woman and, at the conclu
sion of each stanza, added the line “Ori »
Christ, the solid rock, I stand; all other
ground is sinking sand.” It was only then
that Mote realized he had written a hymn.
He had a thousand copies printed for
friends; a hymnal picked it up and “The
Solid Rock” has been sung ever since.
Mote gave up his cabinet business, en
tered the Baptist ministry and at 55 built
a church at his own expense. When his
congregation offered to deed, the property
to him he said, “I only want the pulpit.”
At 77, in 1874, he looked up at friends at
his bedside and said, “The truths I have
preached will do to die upon.” And so
passed a man who had been reared in a
Godless home, learned an honorable trade
and gave it up for the ministry—but whose
memory will live for generations because
he took time off from his work one day
to write this hymn.
His oath, His covenant, His blood, ».
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and say.
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
