D. MATHEWS OWNERS-EDITORS-PUBLISHERS ADVERTISING RATES SUPPLIED ON REQUEST Entered at the Postoffice at Douglasville, Ga., as Second Class Mali Matter Under the Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES —cOne year $2.00 Six Months $1.25 * (In Advance) DOUGLASVILLE, GA., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1950 SCHOOL SAFETY PATROLMEN Polio, Cancer and heart disease are taking their toll of American lives, but so are traffic deaths. Not knowing the direct cause of the big 3 in disease deaths but knowing that 80% of all traffic deaths come direct from human error, the Georgia State Patrol and Veterans of Foreign Wars, De partment of Georgia, are now sponsoring a campaign to raise funds to build a summer training and Recreational Camp for School Safety Patrolmen who will occupy it over a period of 14 weeks with all counties being represented. They will be trained to be school patrolmen by able experts in traffic safety and also to be good Americans. This camp will reach its goal in rewarding the boys and girls who have saved over 100 lives yearly since 1937, the boys and girls who wear the belts of school safety patrolmen, who never complain, as a reward for this life saving work. No Georgian can pass by a school and see them without feeling proud, so this js the chance of every Georgian to show their appreciation for those long hours in the rain, heat and sold, by giving to this worthwhile project in Georgia. They will give future life to someone who doesn't know the meaning of safety and furthermore help our children help themselves.

LETTER • YOUR CONGRESSMAN REPORTS Federal Aid for Education The committee on education and labor is again considering several bills that would provide Federal aid to the states for edu cation. As yet, it has not been bble to agree upon a bill that will be acceptable to both sides in the religious controversy over the question of using public funds for transportation, books and inci dentals for private schools, as well as public schools. The orig inal Senate bill which was pass ed last year, avoided this issue by leaving this matter up to the states, and the Supreme Court decision that held that such pay ments by states for these inciden tal expenses did not violate the principle of the separation of church and state. No Federal Interference The Senate bill, in other words, did not seek to dictate to the states how the Federal funds were to be used. The fear that the Federal Government might interfere with the states in their educational programs and policies has caused many sincere people to oppose Federal aid. So you see there are two vital principles involved in this most important proposal that thf Federal Gov ernment aid the states financially wih the operation of their schools. F. E. P. C. Legislation As I have explained several , times before, the only way we in ' the House can filibuster, is to call for roll calls and quorum calls. This maneuver has been used ef fectively so far. But in spite of all we can do, this legislation will probably come before the House on Wednesday, February 22, af ter the reading of Washington's Farewell Address. As a rule Washington's Birthday is observ ed by the Congress as a legal holiday, and we adjourn after the reading of the address. This year however, those favoring F. E. P. C. legislation have insisted on the call of the calendar on the 22nd, which is Wednesday. There is a rule which provides for the , calling of each committee on each Wednesday. When the com 'mittee is called the chairman thereof can call up any bill au , thorized by action of his commit tee. As general rule calendar [Wednesday is dispensed with by unanimous consent. But this 'year proponents of FEPC bill ob jected, and we cannot get the two-thirds vote which is neces sary to dispense with the calling lof the committees on Wednesday leach week. This F. E. P. C. bill has been reported favorably by the committee on education and labor, and it is this committee's turn to be called on Wednesday, February 22. F. E. P. C. Is a Vicious Bill The bill reported favorably by this committee, which provides for the establishment of a fair employment practices commission if adopted in its present form would be the most drastic and puni ive legislation ever adopted by the Congress. Even those who favor the principle of F. E. P. C., which is intended to prevent dis crimination in emffloyment, should revolt at the conten s of this bill. And I feel sure they would, with the exception of a few radicals, if we could ge them to realize just what the bill pro poses. As an example, under its provisions, any employer charged with an act of discrimination could be forced to come to Wash ington, or to any other city in America to answer the charges. Such a provision is preposterous. But there it is. Debate on the bill will be limited due to the fact that it comes up under the cal endar Wednesday rule. Since those in favor of the legislation have control of the time alloted for debate, it is going to be very, very difficult for those of us who revolt at the very idea of such punitive and oppressive, yea, ev en tyrannical legislation, to get any time to explain to the House the enormity of the crime at tempted to be done in this bill under the pretext that it is hu mane and liberal legislation. Since my last report, we have had several visitors from the dis trict. It was my pleasure to have for lunch in the House restaurant Mr. F. M. Winn, the genial Clerk of Superior Court, of Douglas County, his charming daughter, Jean Winn Weston, and her hus band, R. G. Weston, who holds an important position with F. C. C. in Washington. ? >vvvvvvvvvvvvvvv Just a Word By REV. PAT A. JOHNSON Pastor, First Baptist Church of Douglasville >-&m-—TA+I-Ah "SPIRITUAL POWER" We are living in a day of ma terialism. There seems to be lit tle respect among certain classes of people for the Christian teach ing of an almighty, invisible God, able to indwell the individual with power to conquer the old nature and resist the temptations of life. The nations are thinking too much in terms of the things we can see, touch, taste, smell and eat. To think of life in terms of the things we possess is to be given over to this world and the powers of darkness. No man can live the Christian life under his own power. The force of evil is stronger than any individual apart from God. Peo ple often say they are not going to join a church until they know they can live a. Christian life. Surely everyone would agree that a church member ought to live a Christian life. 1 am afraid such excuses confuse accepting Christ as a personal Savior with joining .he church and being baptized. You can't begin to live a Chris tian life until you let Christ come into your heart. If you have accepted Christ as your Savior, and you are trusting in Him to save you, you ought to join a ' church and be baptized, other wise, you shduld never join a church. When Jesus comes into our hearts He gives us eternal life. How can we begin to live , a life we do not have? When Jesus comes in new life begins! It is not more power that we need. The world is full of pow er. In fact, we have more power than we know what to do with. Too often we have used our pow ers destroy rather than to build up. God is waiting to bless the world with an old-time power, that makes us love everybody. This power will not be poured out on us until we meet God's conditions. We must humble our selves and pray, turn from our wicked way and seek His face. When we get right in our hearts with God, and right in our lives wi h our neighbors, then we are going to hear the cry of the un saved, "What must we do to be saved?" It is about time for somebody to start something! God says, "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." Spiritual power comes froml God. It is the greatest power on earth. It can and does change ;the heart, the mind and the pur poses of men. The savages in the ; darkest jungle can be made new , creatures in Chris: Jesus. Some :f the worst criminals in the land have been transformed into re spectable, law-abiding citizens through the preaching so the gos pel. If we are ever saved from e'ernal loss it will be through spiritual power. Every Christian has a right to this mighty power. We need to read and study our Bibles to know how to get and utilize this mighty force against sin and unrighteousness. It is the greatest need of Christans and churches today! Pray for a spir itual awakening throughout our country. ESTHER'S Flower Shop • Corsages— • Cut Flowers— • Potted Plants Wedding & Funeral Designs Mrs. J. T.
