THE WEEK'S LETTER:
"My problem is th.it I don't
think I have enough freedom.
1 am fifteen and live in the
suburban area. I used to live
in the city but six months ago
we moved Now I have no
friends and never go out
around my way The only
time 1 go out is when I am
down at my cousin's house.
She lives in the city You see,
this boy down there likes me.
and 1 like him. But. when 1
go down there my father won't
let me out 1 always have to
fight my way out. We go there
once a week and maybe more
My father doesn't want me to
hang around on corners. Half
of the time, I'm not on the
corner. We usually are walking
around. I try talking to him
but he says, ”1 don't care! I
give in to you a little and later
I won’t be able to handle you."

my father is unfair I tryevery
thing to convince him but it
does not help. Do you know
any wav I can convince him?"
OUR REPLY: No. Nor any
way that you can convince us
that he is unfair. Your father
sounds like an intelligent par

w ho doesn't want to make the
same mistakes with you that
were made with your brothers.
He would be much more "un

Lake Road, near Rex. In 1962
Mr. Stephens decided to plant
Loblolly Pine seedlings on 73
acres of the 78 acre farm.
There are five fields, one of 3 1
acres had been growing small
grain, clover rotated with corn
and sorghum for ensilage Ihe
other 42 acres was used for
pasture of fescue-clover, ber
muda grass and annual
lespedeza.
Mr. Stephens, resides in an
other county buying this prop
erty as an investment, due to
trading Mr I atum a larger
farm on which he could in
crease his dairy herd
Soil capabilities were taken
into consideration in making
the decision to convert crop
land and pasture land to trees
One fourth of the acreage
being in Class-2, one-fourth in
Class-3, and one half in class-4.
Soil capabilities are based on
soil type slope and degree of
erosion determined by present
topsod depth as compared to
normal
It is a pleasant site to look
at these growing young pines
that are now six to nine feet
tall having a diameter of three
to four inches, four and one
half feet above ground.
Idle acres can be put to
work growing returns for the
owner during the day and
while he sleeps at night Within
another six to seven years this
stand ot loblolly pine trees will
need a selective thinning to
permit a normal rate of
growth I ices that need remov
ing are sold for pulpwood bring
a return to the owner, at the
same time leaving the better
trees properly spaced to grow
into mature timber trees.

DONNA LYNN McKENZIE
Donna
Makes the
Grade
Six year old Donna Lynn
McKenzie of Forest Park, who
once could not walk or stand
by herself without help,
entered public school this fall
under her own steam no
walker, no crutches, just two
tiny braces to steady her
straight and pretty legs.
Donna was born with Cere
bral Palsy. Iler mother, Mrs
Hazel McKenzie, said,
“Donna’s first day at school
was a great triumph for her and
for all ot us. And she is getting
along so well. Her classmates
include her in their games and
seem to be unaware she still
has what we call “a small hand
icap.” Os course, Donna is one
of those rare children who
seems to never meet a
stranger."
Donna’s giant step into the
world of “the other kids she
always wanted to be like" was
the climax of many months of
vigorous therapy, training, and
pre-school training at the Cere
bral Palsy Center, an agency of
the United Appeal, where
Donna still goes for regular
check-ups. It was also the re
sult of the infinite encourage
ment given to her by her
mother who is a nurse on the
staff at Georgia Baptist Hos
pital.
Last year, there were 251
boys and girls helped at the
Cerebral Palsy Center. Nine of
them were from Clayton Coun
ty. 1 he Cerebral Palsy Center is
one of 46 United Appeal agen
cies which help people of all
ages and which receive operat
ing funds from the tenth
annual campaign now in pro
gress. More than 13,515 Clay
ton County residents were
served by United Appeal agen
cies last year.
STEAK EXCEPTION
When carving meat, the rule
to remember is to cut across
the grain. However, according
to home economists with the
Cooperative Extension Service,
there is one exception to that
rule broiled steaks. Beef
steaks are always carved with
the grain.

Senior Citizens Meet
The first meeting of the

Jesus Hold My Hand
From Cotton Patch to Nationally Known Song Writer
Had Stephen Foster been highly trained
his songs might have lacked the originality
that has made them immortal. Critics have
torn Foster to shreds. But his songs live
on. Some say the verse of Fanny Crosby
is inferior poetry. But her hymns are found
in the most scholarly hymnals. The reason
is obvious. Each knew how to reach the
heart of the public. Os current writers,
none has produced songs better loved by
the masses . . . the man of the street . . .
than a modest Midwesterner named Albert
E. Brumley.
The writer is yet to be born who can
produce a masterpiece every time he puts
pen to paper. Os Stephen Foster’s 200
songs, a dozen belong to the ages. Os Fanny
Crosby’s 9000 hymns, a score will carry her
name through the ages.
As percentages go, the gospel songs of
Albert Brumley rank far above those of
many writers. At middle age, Brumley has
turned out 500 gospel songs. No less than
40 have circled the globe. Half that num
ber promise to be favorites with grand
children of the youngest reader of this
story. The reason is obvious. Brumley
has a native “feel” for reaching the public
heart, and his songs are identified by a
sentiment all their own.
Albert Brumley grew up in cotton
patches of LeFlore County, Oklahoma,
where he was born in 1905, and where he
A« I travel thru thij pilgrim land
There is a Friend who walks with me
Leads me safely thru the sinking sand,
He is the Christ of Calvary;
This would be my pray'r, dear lord, each day
To help me do the best I can,
For I need Thy light to guide me day and night
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.
let me travel In the light divine
That I may see the blessed way;
Keep me that I may be wholly Thine
And sing redemption's song some day;
I will be a soldier brave and true
And ever firmly take a stand,
As I onward go and daily meet the foe,
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.

row Methodist Church. Any-
saw “lots of hardships and lean times.”
Attending a rural “singing school” at the
age of 16, he determined to make a career
of song writing. Since that day in the
early ’2os, there has echoed across Amer
ica and many foreign countries, “If We
Never Meet Again,” “I’ll Meet You In The
Morning,” “I’ll Fly Away,” “I’d Rather Be
An Old-Time Christian,” “Turn Your Ra
dio On” and many another.
Operating his own publishing firm, with
his five sons and daughter, at Powell, Mo.,
the artist turns out his songs in the atmos
phere of a typical rural village where he
can feel the pulse of the people for whom
he writes—the average American.
* • *
Modest and retiring, Brumley claims
little credit for his success. “If you do
nothing more in your story,” he requests,
“please mention that I would probably still
be in the cotton fields of Oklahoma but
for the help of so many dear friends every
step of the way.”
But Albert Brumley says there is one
Friend to whom he owes his greatest debt
of gratitude. He wrote a song about Him
in 1933 and it still stands at the top of his
list. There’s not a lover of gospel music in
America who hasn’t heard it and there’s
hardly a radio set from the Atlantic to the
Pacific over which these words have not
been heard many times during the pas
two decades.
Whin I wander thru th» valley dim
Toward the setting of the sun,
lead me safely to a land of rest
If I a crown of life have won;
I have put my faith in Thee, dear lard,
That I may reach the golden strand,
There's no other friend on whom I can depend,
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.
(Chorus)
Jesus, hold my hand, I need Thee every hour,
Thru this pilgrim land Protect me by Thy pow'r;
Hear my feeble plea, O Lord, look down on me.
When I kneel in pray'r I hope to meet you there,
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.
