Jonesboro Girl Scouts
Candlelighting Ceremony
Approximately TOO girls
and their leaders from the
Magnolia Neighborhood parti
cipated in the Annual Candle
lighting Ceremony in the
Jonesboro Senior High School
gymnasium Wednesday, April
2. Girl Scouts of all ages from
the Atlanta Council have been
holding annual candlelighting
ceremonies since 1923. It is a
time for Girl Scouts, both
children and adults to rededi
cate themselves to the code of
unselfish living as expressed in
the promise and laws. I ifty
seven years ago the bounder of
the Girl Scout Organization in
America, dreamed that girls
could always have an oppor
tunity to know the meaning of
the words, “honor” and
"duty" to others. Hus dream
has come true.
The theme of the program
was "l or God and Country."
Miss Renee Hailey from Senior
Scout Troop No. 693 was the
Mistress of Ceremonies. She
gave a welcome to the hun
dreds of parents and friends
who came, and a summary of
the tremendous growth of the
. Magnolia Neighborhood which
includes all of Jonesboro and
Riverdale.
Rev Philo McKinnon,
pastor of the Jonesboro Metho
dist church and also a board
member of the Northwest
Georgia Girl Scout Council,
gave the Invocation.
The International Flag cere
mony, which included flags
from all countries where Girl
Scouting or Girl Guiding is
practiced was beautifully pre
sented by Jonesboro Troops
Nos 693 and 786 and River
dale Junior Scout droop No.
782. The lighting of the
candles and the rededication
was done by Junior Girl Scouts
from I roop No. 798. Miss
Tammy Wills of Riverdale
I roop No. 213 led jill of the
Brownie Scouts in their prom
ise.
A very colorful skit entitled
"Look Wider Still" was pre
sented by Junior Girl Scout
1 roop No 1353. Posters were
made with flags of countries
drawn on one side and as the
posters were reversed the

ATLANTA (GPS) In wel
coming the National Associa
tion of Produce Market Mana
gers’ convention to Atlanta,
Gov. Lester G. Maddox told
the delegates Georgia leads the
nation in producing many of
the items they handle.
“When, in the course of
your duties,” he told them,
“any of you gentlemen ever
handle any peanuts, pecans,
pi mien to peppers, water
melons, velvet beans or lima
beans, the chances are these
items might have come from
right here in Georgia. We lead
the nation in the production of
all of them.
“If you ever find that some
careless customer has placed a
broiler in the display case with
your brussell sprouts, it is a
good chance that it, too, came
from Georgia. We lead there,
too.
“You might, on your return
home, tell your dairy depart
ment managers that we, in
Georgia, are working on being
the leading egg producers also.
This is really not so easy. It is,
after all, difficult to lead in egg
production when people keep
eating all of your chickens.”

No. 1361 concluded the Skit
with a very colorful Spanish
Dance.
An Ingathering of funds for
the World Association of Girl
Scouts and Girl Guides, in
honor ot the founder, was
taken by each of the participat
ing troops with a song by the
representatives entitled, "Make
New f riends." To conclude the
program the beautiful song,
"l et there be peace on earth,
and Let it Begin with me" was
sung by all the girls and their
leaders. Miss Deline Daniel of
Senior Scout Troop No. 693
gave a tine solo of " laps” on
her horn. She was also the song
leader for the program. Girls
from Cadette Troop No. 297
performed as ushers Mrs. Jim
Doughty was the pianist. Mrs.
Walter Carl, Jr. of Jonesboro is
the Neighborhood Chairman.
Many thanks and words of
appreciation are due Mr.
Smith, the principal of the
Senior High School and his
cooperation and to Mrs.
Richard Olson and her com
mittee for their ideas and
unselfish giving of their time in
planning this program.

If We Knew Our Needs, Would We
14-69 Make It Profitable to Us?
The text for this article is found in Gen
7:5-10 and Gen. 41:2-7. Are men today sub
ject to dreams that have meaning and sig
nificance for men? The Bible records many
dreams that have had great significance for
men. Joseph's dream was significant in the
destiny of people, and God's purposes for
them. Pharoah's dreams were significant in
the destiny of people and God's purposes for
them. I have recently had dreams which are
significant for men, and God's purpose for
them. Joseph dreamed about sheaves, and
about the sun, the moon, and the stars. The
two had one interpretation, one confirming
the other. Pharoah dreamed about cattle,
and about stalks of corn, the two with one
interpretation, the one confirming the other.
I dreamed about fire and about diamonds,
the two could very well have one interpreta
tion the one confirming the other, and an
interpretation with vital significance for
men.
By dreams, God has informed men, warned
men and directed them in accomplishing his
purposes for them. Joseph, Jesus' stepfath
er, was warned by dreams and removed to
Egypt for his safety. The wise men who
brought presents for Jesus were warned by
dream to ignore Herod's requests. By dream,
Peter was made to understand God's pur
poses for the Gentiles. By dream, Paul was
directed to take God's message to the Mace
donians, but the dreams that are recorded
that had significance for men are as a grain
of sand on the seashore when we think of the
numberless dreams that are dreamed by the
men of every generation.
Some dreams are intensely pleasureable,
some are terrible, dreadful and disturbing,
some are fantastic and beyond imagining
any meaning in them. Dreams come, we
know not how or why, and most of them go
as they come, but occasionally a dream pos
sesses a quality that arrests our attention,
and we wonder and ponder their signifi
cance.
Such were my dreams that I want to tell you
about. I have meditated on them and told
my wife and a friend about them, and even
made notes lest I forget the thoughts they
stirred in me. I hope the telling of them will
stir some thoughts in your mind that will be
of profit to you. My first dream was of a fire
that broke out spontaneously. Old tarpau
lins, rags and rubbish had been piled up,
some of the material in the pile had been

saturated with material which will spontane
ously generate fire when piled together.
Such a fire had began to blaze and some
others and myself quenched it, but in a short
time it blazed up again and was quenched
again, but because of the nature of the ma
terial it continued to break out, first here
and then there. I knew that if the situation
were not dealt with more decisively, the ma
terial torn apart and the root of the trouble
done away with, the danger that the fire
would break out and not be brought under
control was imminent. The pile of material
presented a formidable task to dig into, but
I began to work on it and to persuade others
to work with me, but the help I needed was
half-hearted or not given at all, and in the
end the fire broke out and caught in a field
of sedge and brush, and though many were
fighting the fire, it was entirely beyond con
trol and destroyed everything in its path.
All was lost and the desolation beyond cal
culation.
I awoke in a very disturbed state of mind
and as I considered the matter, it was im
mediately clear to me that this perfectly fit
ted the conditions prevailing in the world to
day. There are elements in our society and
governments that spontaneously erupt in
violence. These elements are brought under
semi-control, but they persist in breaking
out anew, first here and then there. People
will not tear the accumulation of practices
apart that are generating the trouble, lose
one form of life in order to gain the better.
The nature of man is enmity against God,
for it is not subject to the law of God (Rom.
8:7). It spontaneously erupts in unlawful
ways. Obeying God's law is death to these
eruptions. Sin cannot spring from the root
of God's Spirit. He that is born of God can
not sin (1 John 5:18).
The second dream I had occurred two nights
after the first. In it I had found a very val
uable diamond ring. I had lost it and was
searching for it, many saw me searching and
I asked them to search with me, but they
were not interested and would not search
with me. How great is this likeness to this
present generation, who have no faith or in
terest in the values of God. Men are indif
ferent to the values of God that surpass that
of gold, jewels, pearls and every other value
that men can conceive of. Living by faith in
these values is the faith that will be our sal
vation. Remember Esau's choice of values
and the weeping that it brought him ?
