Post War Period Rural Housing
+ In this issue of The Times appears a citation notifying
citizens of Dade County that Ordinary J. M. Carroll will
arguments, p-o and con, if any there be, why he should not
with nine other contiguous north Georgia counties in creating
Regional Housing Authority, so that Dade County citizens
participate in the post war period Rural Housing loans.
The objectives of the Regional Authority of which Dade
become a member, is to provide cheap loans on easy
plans to farmers who will tear away old houses that are
unsanitary and that are gradually disintegrating, and
modern, comfortable and sanitary farm homes for
and their families.
To secure funds for the erection of modem farm homes,
Regional Housing Authority will issue its nates to the
Housing Administration for the amount of the loan, which
coure, will be secured by a mortgage upon the property
proved.
'I he county will in no wise be involved in the
and cannot be held responsible for the debt. Under the
which is more liberal than any other known similar
a borrower may pay one fortieth (1-40) of the loan
which will be applied as rental, and at the end of that period,
property is deeded to the borrower in fee simple. For example,
if a farmer should borrow $4,000.00 to construct a new home, he
will pay only $100.00 per year, and have the pleasure of living
n a comfortable, modern home during the period of payments,
forty years. I
This housing plan should appeal to every farmer
home is not modern and comfortable, and we commend
nary Carroll for his interest in better housing conditions for
farmers, and for being awake to the progress and
of our county.
Why Not Organize a Chamber of
Jh Dade County has many wide awake citizens who
and think and plan for a brighter, happier, more modern
prosperous home county; but all of these visions and
are not coming true because we dream and think only as
dividuals, and not as a strong, active, cooperative body of
gresive men who can make our dreams come true.
Dade County needs a county-wide Chamber of
composed of farmers, business men, professional men and
others who really have the best interests of Dade County
heart, and who will unite and work in cooperation with their
low citizens in pushing the growth and development of our
county until it attains the rank among other counties it
A county-wide Chamber of Commerce, with a
Secretary and a Board of Directors that will give
whenever necessary, can accomplish great things for
County during the coming decade.
With a wave of prosperity that will sweep our nation at
close of the war with Japan, shall we sit idly by, calm and
in our smugness, or shall we all unite as one man to grasp
opportunity to secure things worthwhile for our county?
Who among you is ready to head a campaign to organize
Chamber of Commerce?
It will take a small amount of time from your business,
haps, but the accomplishment cannot be valued in dollars
cents, when we take the future of our county into
Who will volunteer to head this work?
Comments by Other Editors
"When a person falls out with their neighbors because
politics it is high time they are letting up on politics and
on a little more religion." (Ft. Payne, Ala., Journal).
Truly said, Editor Davidson, and it is a sad emmentary
many of our Christian people are devoting more time
thought and money to support their favorite political
ations than they are in support of the churches of their choice.
Politics if taken too seriously, makes one grow morbid,
tranges friends, and overshadows the really good things that
taking place in the community, because our political beliefs
not coincide with someone who is leading in worthwhile
ties.

Arkansas and Mississippi both can
have splendid public
accepting financial aid from
where. I am prepared to prove
statement with figures I
early in May to the Education
mittee of the House of
tives in Washington. Moreover,
these states can do well
help, any of the other states can
likewise. Federal aid is not
anywhere.
I have singled out Arkansas
Mississippi for good reason It
bearing on the subject in hand.
Measured by a money standard,
these two states are lowest on
educational roster. Only one
has less income per person than
kansas, provides less school
per student and pays its
less; that’s Mississippi. These
our two low states in the
named.
There is a Reason
Poor as these two states are on a
basis of income per capita, each
them has more net worth than
federal government. Our
debt probably will reach 300
dollars before the war is over.
Mississippi had a cash surplus
11 million dollars last year
Arkansas accumulated 45
during recent years.
schools are inadequate, due to
tics, not poverty.
What the school system in
home state needs is
not subsidizing. For example:
a year ago there were 106
districts with assessed
below $10,000. Some districts
not raise $100 a year from
taxes. School districts varied in
from one square mile to 100
miles.
Why Squander Money?
There is one community in
sas which, although it has only
students all-told, is made up of
school districts and thus uses
busses to take the 35 students
school and back each day.
portation costs $600 a month
one bus might easily do the
job at a cost of $150 a month.
saving of $450 would pay
teachers at the prevailing
scala.
The problem is local and
More money for such an
operation probably would tend to
gravate a bad situation and make
even harder to remedy. The
al government spent $80,000 for
WPA survey of Arkansas schools
1937 and the analysis showed
the state could have a good
system for an outlay of 17
dollars a year. The outlay
made promptly.
Taxpayers Respond
Arkansas’ income per person
more than doubled since 1939, due
new industries and new
of oil and bauxite. More than
million dollars were spent for
cation in Arkansas last year, and
recent legislature raised that
considerably for the next

This however is not enough.

for it when the system is
ized and made efficient, but I
pose federal aid. Easy money

VU T ASHINGTON today is a vast

national and international moment
crowd themselves with lightning
rapidity and with kaleidoscopic
clarity. They are events and pro¬
posals which have ramifications af¬

way or another, not only of our own
people In the cities and hometowns
in America, but of people every¬
where.
And we criticize our congressmen
. . . gripe at our governmental agen¬
cies freely and often, but, as a mat¬
ter of fact, it is amazing that with
the quickening and increasing
tempo of affairs here, the men
and women in government keep
abreast of the times and the respon¬
sibilities with which they are faced
as well as they do.

It completely overhauls,

curity law, bringing under its
visions an additional 15,000,000

ployees, small merchants,

BILLIONS INVOLVED
The new measure, a bulky,
page document, carries with it
propriations which will run into
lions of dollars. The section on
pitals and health centers alone
for $950,000,000 over a
period. That it will meet with
mined opposition is a foregone
clusion, for it attempts to

act, except medical and public
sistance, taking over old age

Briefly, the provisions of the
bill provide:

2. It broadens the present fed¬

The Churches of Christ Salute You
ROMANS 16:16
With
Sound Doctrine
"I beseech you there, breth¬
ren, by the mercies of God,
that ye present your bodies a
living sacrifice, holy, accept¬
able unto God, which is your
reasonable service. And be not
conformed to this world, but be
ye transformed by the renew¬
ing of your mind, that ye may
prove what is that good, and
acceptable, and perfect will of
God” (Rom. 12:1-2). Do we ever
stop to examine ourselves to
see whether we are in the faith
or not? (II Cor. 13:5). Too often
we want to do things our way
whether it be God's way or not.
"For my thoughts neither are not your
thoughts, saith are the my Lord, ways fro
your ways,
as the heavens are higher than
the earth, so are my ways
higher than your ways and my
thoughts than your thoughts"
(Isa. 55:8).
In troublesome times like
these, Christians, the light of
the world, should be an ex¬
ample to the unbeliever, so thaf
we might draw them to Christ,
the Lamb of God, that taketh
away the sins of the world. We
can never do this with our own
will. We must let God work
through us. Righteousness hath
no part with unrighteousness
(Rom. 6:13-23.)
“Again, think ye that we ex¬
cuse ourselves unto you? We
speak before God in Christ: but
we do all things, dearly beloved,
for your edifying. For I fear, lest
when I come I shall not find
you such as I would, and that I
shall be found unto you such as
ye would not: lest there be de¬
bates, envyings, wraths, strifes,
backbitings, whisperings, swell¬
ings, tumults: And lest when I
come again, my God will humb¬
le me among you, and that I
shall bewail many which have
sinned already” (II Cor. 12:19-
21.) Too often many are guilty
of backbiting, whispering, etc.,
which are sin. “The wages of
sin is death” (Rom. 6:23). God
doesn’t "Want you to talk about

against thee, go and tell him
ALONE: if he shall hear thee
thou hast gained thy brother”
(Matt. 18:15). That’s God’s way
and the way to please Him is to
act according to His way. With
a strong purpose of heart and a
determination to do the will of
God we can attain the unity for
which the Lord prayed (Jno. 17:
17). Oh, yes, it takes strength
of character to tell one your
thoughts face to face! It takes
a coward to say things about
someone to their back that they
wouldn’t say to their face. God’s
word condemns “whisperers,
backbiters who knowing the
judgement of God, that they
which commit such things are
worthy of death, not only do
the same, but have pleasure in
them that do them.” Read the
first chapter of Romans.
Lessons like these may seem
unpleasant and out of place. But
they are written in God’s word
and must be accepted. Too often
preachers leave off teaching that
might make them unpopular.
They will have to answer to God
in the Judgement. Those who
preach “what they think is all
right,” even though the Bible
says nothing about that what
they are preaching, will have to
answer in the Judgement. Let us
ever be more willing to let God
have His way in our lives. Let us
never say anything evil about
our neighbors. Let us never re¬
peat what the other fellow says
about someone else. Then our
community will be a better place
in which to live and Christians
will be drawn closer to God and
to each other.
Next week we plan to study
the “Destiny of the Wicked.”
Welcome to the Churches of
Christ. We preach the Word of
God just as it is written without
additions or substractions. Regu¬
