We had as our guests Mrs.

Judge Kemp gave a brief
resume regarding his at
tendance at a recent semi
nar in Savannah, Georgia.
He outlined several projects
being carried out by Chat
ham County officials which
were meeting with tremen
dous success. One of these
was a program dealing with
potential school drop-outs.
He stated Chatham County
Juvenile* people were meet
ing with these students and
their families and, with the
cooperation of the schools,
they felt many girls and
boys were still in school who
might otherwise have be
come disinterested in school
and. having dropped out of
school, eventually became
discouraged and resorted to
breaking the law. He stated
he felt this type of program
was certainly a step in the
right direction and recom
mended the Council consid
er this as a project.
Mrs. Trudie Boswick spoke
briefly to the Council about
her concern over the 12 to 16
year old girls and boys who
were actually neglected, but
had not resorted to breaking
the law. She requested the
Council consider a ‘‘Horizon
Home" for this age group,
where they would receive

"So .Much To See and Do.’*
THE CONGRESS RECENTLY adopted a joint resolution
which put the House of Representatives and the Senate on rec
ord in approval of the extension of more food assistance to India.
I he resolution, which went through the House by an over
whelming majority of 311 to 63 and was adopted by the Senate
without the necessity of a roll call vote, expressed congressional
approval of the Administration’s intentions to send $465 million
worth of grain to help feed the starving people of India.
It provides for the shipment of 3 million tons of grain,
valued at $l9O million, to India in addition to 3.6 million tons,
worth $275 million, which have already been committed. This
comes to 6.6 million tons which represents about two-thirds of
the estimated 10 million tons required by India from outside
sources this year.
However, beginning in May the resolution recommends that
the United States grain shipments to India be matched on a 50-50
basis, either in kind or in cash, by other developed nations of
the world. Also, self-help on the part of India is emphasized.
I HE I THAT THE United States has committed itself
to furnishing some two-thirds of the outside food needs of India
tor this calendar year is about par for the course insofar as our
foreign aid efforts are concerned.
Since the conclusion of World War 11. to the tune of more
than $l2O billion, the United States has endeavored to feed,
clothe, house, and pump life into the economies of most of the
nations of the world. And, for the most part we have been alone
in our efforts while other countries of the Free World, particu
larly those in Western Europe, have grow n more prosperous than
ever before.
♦ ♦ ♦
THIS NOT TO take exception to the shipment of grain to
India to alleviate hunger and malnutrition and to prevent the
starvation of millions of people. This move is in keeping with the
humanitarian aims of our country.
However, it has long been my feeling that other nations
which are able to do so should begin helping the United States
carry part of the load of this type of foreign assistance. And the
people of the affected under-developed nations must take positive
and meaningful action to put their own houses in order.
With only some 6 per cent of the world’s population, cer
tainly the United States alone cannot undertake to solve all the
economic ills of mankind.

If You Knew Your Need,
Would You Make It Profitable to You?
(Number 11)
Who can say there is nothing lacking in his
life? Nothing he can do to make his life more
approved by those who observe him, and more
approved by his own conscience. What man,
when he knows there are things lacking in his
life, instantly adjusts his life so there is noth
ing lacking? What man can say that the bet
ter in him never yields to the worse. We are
told "to whomsoever we yield ourselves serv
ants to obey, his servants we are to whom we
obey, whether of sin unto death or of obedience
unto righteousness." Rom. 6:16. Surely we
need self-control, and have experienced that
it is not easy. When we want to stand up, or
to sit down, to lift our hand, or to lower it, to
open our eyes, or to close them, our members
respond instantly. But when our will orders
itself ,to obey itself, it is resisted, we find that
we are unable to rule our own spirits. Prov.
25:28 tells us "he that hath no rule over his
own spirit is like a city that is broken down,
and without walls, defenseless against sin and
the power of the devil. Jesus, knowing the
conflict between flesh and Spirit, warned,
"Whosoever.will save his life shall lose it, but
whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall
save it. Matt. 16:25. This is the only way the
conflict between the flesh and the Spirit will
ever be resolved. It is a conflict to the death,
either the death of the flesh, and the life of the
Spirit, or the saving of the life of the flesh,
and the death of the Spirit. Faith, baptism'
nor anything else (per se), will substitute for
losing the life of the flesh. Self must be denied,
the cross taken up, and Christ followed. Faith
and baptism are the prelude to a new manner
of life. Dead indeed to sin, but alive unto God.
We never hear of men being dead today, alive
tomorrow. To remain dead unto sin, and alive
unto God, we must die daily to the love and
practice of sin, and be alive daily to righteous
ness and godliness. To will to be dead unto sin
is easy, to wholly will it so that it is done, is
another matter. To achieve this it mustbe
wholly willed, willed sufficienly to overcome
the resistance of the flesh by dying (being mor-

Soil Conservation Activities
By TOM COLE
Soil Conservationist
Robert N. Gilbert believes
in GOOD POND manage
ment for good fishing. In
carrying out the Soil and
Water conservation plan in
cooperation with the Upper
Ocmulgee River District for
his 123 acre farm located
Fayetteville Highway south
of Jonesboro, Mr. Gilbert has
done a good job. He has de
veloped and maintained 41
acres of pasture and hay
land since 1952. Grazing is
divided into five pastures
whereby a rotated grazing
program can be used. This
practice enables cattle to
have more green-weight of
grazing per acre compared
to grazing being under one
fence.
Mr. Gilbert’s five acre
pond was constructed in 1953
on a small spring fed stream.
The district assisted in site
selection, design survey, con
struction checks, stabiliza
tion of dam, spillway, and
borrow areas with adapted
vegetation, stocking and
management. The pond was
built according to engineer
ing specifications of Soil
Conservation Service.
Ponds provide many bene
fits, along with which come
some problems, as does with
any structural item as a
building, automobile, truck,
tractor and farm imple
ments. These require atten
tion and needed adjust
ment.
Mr. Gilbert, as do other
pond owners had a problem
recently of pond weeds.
Upon investigation on site
at the pond four types of
aquatic plants were found.
; Problem not too serious.
Mr. Gilbert has made an
application of lime with an
application of fertilizer. He
will continue fertilizer ap
plications at intervals of a
week to ten days apart un
til a bright object cannot be
seen 12 inches under water.
This discoloration of surface
water will prevent sun light
from stimulating growth of
these plants. Fertilizer will
stimulate growth of micro
scopic under water plants
which are food for insects
upon which FISH THRIVE

$425,000 CLAYTON
BOND ELECTION
SET FOR APRIL 26
■ A special bond election of
$425,000 will be held April 26
in Clayton County. Voters
will be asked to approve
construction of a mental
health unit for the two mil
lion dollar hospital, felt
highly necessary by the
Clayton County Hospital
Authority and the advisory
committee to the Authority.
Four hundred thousand
dollars is being asked for the
mental health unit and the
additional $25,000 in bonds
was requested by the juve
nile advisory council for
building another wing to
the County Juvenile Home in
Jonesboro.
The $400,000 is needed, say
the bond sponsors, to enlarge
the mental health unit to
desired size for inpatient
and outpatient services.

If ye live after the flesh, ye shall die, but "if
ye through the Spirit, do mortify the deeds of
the body, ye shall live," If the deeds of the
body are not mortified, nothing can give us
new life. As in Adam all die, so in Christ
shall all be made alive." We are in Adam
when we yield to the flesh, we are in Christ
when we yield to the Spirit, and mortify the
deeds of the body. 1 Cor. 15:22. Our move- I
ments are through our Adamic nature, or they
^may be the fruit of the divine nature if we
have escaped the corruption that is in the
world through lust. 2 Peter 1:4. When the di
vine nature prevails, the Adamic nature is
mortified, and we dwell in Christ, and he in us.
ugustine states the case as all men find it;
the great need to resolve which will have the
mastery, the carnal or the spiritual. We may
be sure that it is better to surrender to God's
ove than to yield to our own lusts, but we of
