team in August, a piece of
badly needed equipment for
the team, and the special
dinner for the entire boys’
and girls’ basketball teams
was planned for January 17,
1968. Also discussed was the
interest in enlarging the
membership. At present the
membership consists largely
of football enthusiasts and
it was stated that all fathers
of the players and sup
porters of basketball were
invited to attend the next
regular meeting, which will
be held January 8, 1968 in
the library of the Forest
Park Senior High School.
The club plans $2,000 sup
port for Forest Park ath
letes.
Action was taken by the
membership to change the
meeting time to 7:30 p.m. An
interesting meeting was
thoroughly enjoyed by those
present. Coach Doug Cobb
made personal remarks
about the basketball team
and narrated the film of the
Jonesboro-Panthers game.
The coach noted specific im
provements in Creech, Jerry
Stubbs and Mike Orr. He also
stated he and Coach Smith
(of the Great Forest Park
Girls’ Team) were very sat
isfied with the ability of the
players but noted the re
gion games would get tough
er from now until the end of
the season. Coach Cobb
stated that the Panthers-
Indians point averages were
impressive.
The general consensus of
the members present was
that we have something to
be proud of and worth all
the support we can give.

Search Began December 1
To Find Mrs. Georgia 1968;
Local Ladies Urged to Enter
The annual search began
last week to find an out
standing mother - wife-citi
zen to represent the home
makers of our State as Mrs.
Georgia 1968.
Entry blanks are available
at Atlanta Gas Light Com
pany, Georgia Natural Gas
or Savannah Gas Company
offices. Deadline for mailing
of the entry blank is Feb
ruary 15, 1968.
Mrs. America 1967, Mrs.
Marlene Cochran of Shaw
nee Mission, Kansas, and
Mrs. Georgia, 1967, Faye
Thompson of Monroe, have
joined to urge qualified
ladies to enter the contest at
the local level.
Local contests are already
scheduled in seven areas:
Atlanta, Athens, Augusta,
Macon, Rome, Savannah and
Brunswick. They will be held
between March 25 and April
6.
The new Mrs. Georgia will
be crowned in Atlanta on
May 10 at the conclusion of
three days of homemaking
competition. The Pageant
will again be televised.
Competition for both local
and State titles is in three
categories: (1) poise, per
sonality and grooming, (2)
homemaking abilities and
(3) church and community
participation. Homemaking
judging will include cooking,
sewing, flower arranging,
table setting, and general
home management knowl
edge.
About
Social
Security
"Seriously disabled work
ers in the East Point area do
not appear to fully under
stand how valuable social se
curity may be to them,” Don
Skaggs, social security dis
trict manager at East Point,
Ga., said today. “No longer
does a person have to be
permanently disabled, but if
his disability is severe and
can be expected to last at
least a year, he should apply
for consideration,” Skaggs
said.
The requirements to get
social security disability
benefits are simple. First, a
person must have worked
where he paid social security
taxes in five years of the ten
years immediately before his
disability began. For ex
ample, if he became disabled
on January 20, 1967, he must
have worked one-half of the
time from April 1957 to Jan
uary 1967 where he has paid
social security taxes. This
does not have to be consecu
tive or even full-time work.
This constitutes the five
years of the ten years before
the disability began. Social
security disability benefits
are paid beginning with the
seventh month after the dis
ability started. In the above
example, payments would
first be payable for August
1967.
A medical report from the
attending physician is asked
for to help establish the dis
ability and frequently no
further evidence is neces
sary. In some instances
where there isn’t enough
medical information to
make a decision, the indi
vidual will be asked to see a
specialist at no cost to him.
There is a special provision
for people who are blind. If
one is totally blind before
age 31, he needs work only
one year for every two years
after age 21 and before he
became blind. (This could be
as little as 18 months’ work.)
There is no partial dis
ability payment under the
social security law. The de
gree of impairment must be
considered so disabling that
a person is unable to do any
substantial work. Each per
son’s training, age and work
experience is considered in
determining disability. Need
is not a factor in deter
mining and/or paying dis
ability.
Receiving social security
while one is ill or injured has
the added advantage of
freezing his earnings record
while he is ill. This prevents
counting time against one
while off work due to illness.
Otherwise, when a worker is
62 or 65, the time he was sick
would normally be used in
figuring the amount of his
benefit. This could make a
difference in the retirement
amount.
In every instance where a
person files for social se
curity disability, his name is
referred to the nearest vo
cational rehabilitation of
fice. This gives an oppor
tunity for possible retraining
and/or rehabilitation serv
ices.
Additional information is
available at the social se
curity district office.
Any lady is eligible to
enter the Mrs. Georgia com
petition who is a citizen of
our State, married and 21
years or older. The Mrs.
Georgia program is not a
beauty contest although ap- '
pearance and grooming are
judged. Public speaking is
another important part of
the competition since the
new Mrs. Georgia will make
many appearances during
her reign.
Although ladies may enter
individually, there are spe
cial incentives for women’s
organizations to nominate 1
someone. In the event a lady
nominated by a club is se
lected a local finalist the '
organization nominating her
receives $lO. The club re
ceives an additional $25 if
she is selected local titlist
and S2OO more if she is
named Mrs. Georgia.
The new Mrs. Georgia, in
addition to receiving the
honor and recognition as the
State’s outstanding repre
sentative homemaker and
more than SISOO in prizes,
will also win an expense
paid trip for herself and her ;
husband to the Mrs. America
Pageant in St. Paul, Minne
sota, August 14-23.
All local finalists receive
gifts and prizes and the local
titlist receives more than
SSOO in prizes. (
What have been some of I
the highlights of Faye
Thompson’s reign as Mrs.
Georgia 1967? “It’s truly
been the most exciting, re
warding year of my life,”
she recalls. “I’ve had the op
portunity to meet hundreds
of new friends throughout
our wonderful State. I’ve
had a busy time with pa
rades, radio and television
appearances, speaking en
। gagements, open houses and
much, much more.”
The Mrs. Georgia program
is a means of recognizing the
traits and abilities which
combine to make an out
standing homemaker-moth
er-citizen. This is the fifth
consecutive year that it has
been sponsored by Atlanta
Gas Light Company, Georgia
Natural Gas and Savannah
Gas Company.
NO 49 If We Knew Our Need,
Would We Make It Profitable to Us?
"Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from
the dead." Eph, 5:14. These words are ad
dressed to men who are neither asleep, nor
dead, but to everyone of us because we are
not performing in way that is to our profit,
and does not lead to our perfection. All of
us have a deep need for that change which
awakening and arising from the dead sig
nifies. I believe the true meaning of awak
ening and arising from the dead contains
the seeds for the greatest possible profit to
us, and is the prelude to *he perfecting of
God's spirit within us. Each of us are of a
dual nature (are two); an inward, and an
outward man. What we are endowed with
through our inner man, if it is fully awake,
far exceeds that which we are endowed with
through our physical-bodies.
When we are fully awake, and alive to the
fact of our dual nature, aware of the part
each plays in our life, when we make com
parison, we will see that our latent possibili
ties are all tied up in our inner man, but the
inner man is a part of us that we are in the
habit of neglecting and riding over rough
shod. The inner man is a conscious, know
ing and discerning Spirit, to which we often
close our eyes, and stop our ears, and do
not let it be a monitor to our lives. Men may
act as monitors to one another (one who ad
vises or warns) but that part of us which we
call the inner man is our truest monitor. It
accepts, or rejects, the advice and warning
of men, but when we reject and do not heed
the advice and warning of our own inner
voice, we reject God speaking to us through
the power of reflecting and discerning with
which he has blessed us.
Our memories will remind us of the many
times we have closed our eyes and stopped
our ears to the advice and warning of the
still small voice of our inner man, and pro
ceeding to the flesh rather than to the Spirit,
disregarding and inattentive to the inner
man. Doubting the results of our disregard,
because there is no physical evidence of it.
"If the light that is in thee be darkness, how
great is that darkness." Matt. 6:23. "Take
heed therefore that the light which is in
thee be not darkness." Luke 11:35. In spite
of these warning words, it still prevails. As
Esau despised his birthright, so do men de
spise the birthright that God has given them

through their ability to know and deliberate.
We often participate in precipitate action
without letting the inner man warn or ad
vise us, not realizing our birthright is at
stake. The outer man is the predominant
factor in the life of the natural man, and
it is not subject to the law of God, neither
indeed can be. Rom. 8:7. The fitness of the
inner man to rule our lives far exceeds the
fitness of the outer man to rule it. The inner
man becomes the predominant factor in
the lives of those who are awake,
and have arisen from the dead. They make
use of the knowing and discerning power
that God has placed in them.
The outer man is informed by his own na
ture, the inner man is informed by the
word of God. The outer man seeks his own
satisfaction, the inner man discriminates
between his outer and inner drives and seeks
the care of his soul. The outer man conforms
to the world, the inner man is transformed,
and is not of the world. John 17:14 —Rom.
12:2. Th outward main is in darkness, the
inward man receives marvelous light. "Ac
cording as his divine power hath given unto
us all things that pertain unto life and God
liness, through the knowledge of him that
hath called us to glory and virtue." 2 Peter
1:3.
The outward man advances to destruction,
the inward to the city which hath founda
tions, whose builder and maker is God. The
inward man grows in the knowledge of the
truth and is renewed day by day. 2 Cor.
4:16. If we walk according to the outward
man we are taking our queue from the tem
poral world, but if we walk by the Spirit our
queue is taken from the eternal world, we
are not in the line with those whose life con
sists in an abundance of things, in pleas
ures, in conveniences and comforts, in the
praise and honor of men. "For we look, not
on the things that are seen, but on the
things that are not seen, for the things that
are seen are temporal, but the things which
are not seen are eternal." 2 Cor. 4:18.
Why will ye die, when the sheltering fold is
so nearby. One thing is common to us all,
we are all accountable to God for abiding in
darkness when he has sent a light from
heaven to light the path for us. Let us not
let the care of the outer man hinder our
care for our inner man.
