Cobwebs in the Sky
Eddie Adams states that he
saw the heavenly cobwebs at his
home Oct. 26.
He tells that it was about 15
feet in the air gently floating out
of the blue. The sky was per¬
fectly etear on that day.
If this phenomenon denotes
some chemical used in cloud seed
ing rain operations, Ithen one
wonders why they used it now as
we have had an all-time record of
rainfall for October—42'■ 76 inches
A 50 pound chunk of ice fell
from the blue sky in Martin,Ga ,
on the same day—Oct 26 Two
pounds was sent to the U.
Geological Suivey in Washing¬
ton foi analysis.
Spider webs were also seen in
Washington, Ga , and other
towns on the same day dangling
from the blue sky.
U. S. Citizen Expands Debt

twice as fast as tbeii alter lax disposable

While it's people need credit xo make

Industrial system can produce, they ap¬
pear to have gone ovsrboard. Individu
al debts for mortgages, autos, appliances,
etc., have increased 160 per cent since
1950 while personal aiter-lax income has
risen only 60 per cent.
Honest economists think we are near
the trouble zone—real trouble, if the leap¬
ing personal debt isn’t checked, Worse
yet, the Census Bureau adraite that

creased last year (2j£ per eent gain), the

the waterfall on Davis Creek, a mile or
so above Dukes Creek Fails, as being
such a matchless beauty,
No more scenic or awe inapiting area
can be found in all the Southland than

Tesnalee Gap,
From Richard Sims' to the ford below
the ‘-Litte Andy” Adams old place is a
continuous cascade of walerfails and
when a good road is constructed it will
attract thousands of people both winter

This matchless and unspoiled scenry,
with cool forests, beautiful sparkling

Therefore, it, ie most imperative that it lie
made accessable to the people, other than

ABOUT BUYING ON CREDIT
(In a day when people figure how
much an article costs by the week or
month, and do not reckon what it will
cost in full, these words first published
in 1811 are of pertinent interest.)
“Long credit is offered me.”—Very
well; it shows that you have credit
now; and the way to keep it is to use
it not too freely.—Before you clinch
the bargain, look about you and con¬
sider a few points.
1. Is the price considerably higher
than for ready cash; and, together
with this enhanced price, have you also
to pay interest? If so, you are sure
to make a losing trade.
2. If the thing he an article of cloth¬
ing, or furniture, or food, or drink,
which you can well enough do without;
then take it not on credit. Rather wait
till you have ready money to spare for
it. It is better to turn the old coat than
run in debt for a new one. Old fash¬
ioned furniture is more comfortable in
the end, than articles of taste, unpaid
for.
3. If the article or articles, be a
house, or land, or goods for sale, it
alters the case some, but should not
abate your caution.—1) Keep a sharp
look out, lest the credit price too much
exceed the ready money price. 2) Con¬
sider whether there be a moral cer¬
tainty that you can meet your pay¬
ments punctually without distressing
yourself. 3) Whether the thing or
things you buy, would at any time
fetch you about as much money as you
promise for them, should other re¬
sources fail. If so, there is little or
no Multitudes danger. Otherwise, beware.
well by are undone by taking, as
as giving, too much credit. “In
the affairs of this world,” as somebody
has observed before me, “men are not
saved by faith, but by want of it.” We
are apt, (the young and enterprising
especially) to be too confident of suc¬
cess. Give them but credit, long credit,
and they see no danger or difficulty;
nothing but prospects of increase. Un¬
toward incidents happen, which were
quite left out of their calculation.
Their pleasing dream is dissolved; and
they awake out of it in consternation.
END OF WORLD POSTPONED?
By A. D. 1118 in Christian reckon¬
ing, it was obvious that the end of
the world, originally expected for the
year 1000, had been postponed, per¬
haps indefinitely. Anticlimax and re¬
lief had had time enough to settle. The
second coming of Christ and the mil¬
lennium of His reign, on earth no
longer figured in human calculations
of the immediate future. When nothing
happened upon the completion of the
first thousand years, it had been reas¬
oned that naturally the Saviour would
not return so long as His native re¬
sorts were under occupation by the
Infidel. But the Holy City had fallen
to the Christian armies under Godfrey
de Bouillon in 1099, and the Kingdom
of Jerusalem was nearly twenty years
old. So the concept of the New Jeru¬
salem, an ideal, spiritual realm repre¬
senting perfection, consolation and
paradise, had become confused with
the actual earthly city; it had gone
under in the precarious reality of a
commonwealth maintained on enemy
territory. replaced The millennium Crusades had been
by the as a factor
in the world.

The current school year is witness¬
ing a nationwide educational program
designed to give high school students
a better understanding of nutrition
and good eating habits. Known as the
Youthpower project, it is sponsored by
the National Food Conference, a volun¬
tary committee of food and allied asso¬
ciations and companies which produce,
process, distribute and merchandise
America’s food supply from farm to
Farm table. The president of the American
Bureau Federation is chairman.
Organizations represented on the plan¬
ning committee include the American
Meat Institute, American Bakers As¬
sociation, National Association of Food
Chains, National Dairy Council, and
so on down a long list covering every
facet of the food industry.
The program, says an announce¬
ment, involves “teenagers in cities and
towns all over the nation in an exam¬
ination of their role in a growing
America, with particular reference to
the importance of food in furthering
their health, vigor and achievement.”
And it was organized for the best of
reasons — authoritative studies of the
diet patterns of teenage boys and girls
have revealed that improper eating
habits are contributing to alarming
difficulties. Some examples:
A University of California study
reveals that 50 per cent of teenage
girls receive inadequate amounts of
protein and iron. In addition, following
age 12, intake of adolescent girls in
calories, protein, calcium, iron and
other minerals and vitamins decline
sharply below recommended levels and
the downward trend continued in adult
life.
A University of New Hampshire
study finds that 20 per cent of teenage
boys are low in calcium; 10 per cent
in iron and vitamin A; 20 per cent
in thiamine, and 40 per cent in vitamin
C. And a Connecticut Experiment Sta¬
tion study says that teenager eating
habits tend to become poorer with age.
The story is being brought to the
teenagers through state, county and
community Youth-power committees.
In consultation with educational, nu¬
trition, health and youth groups, the
committees have developed a wide
variety of special projects tailored to
the techniques of classroom teaching.
For instance, typical project titles in¬
clude: A Nutrition Quiz, Basic Break¬
fasts, and Pack Lunch with a Punch.
Later in the school year, each state
committee will sponsor a state Youth
power Congress, to be attended by the
youngsters who have excelled in the
classroom projects. Then the program
will be climaxed with a National
Youthpower Congress, which, it is pre¬
dicted, will be one of the most im¬
portant and newsworthy assemblies of
high school students ever held in. this
country. Date of that Congress is Feb¬
ruary 11-13, 1960.
Good health — mental no less than
physical — depends largely on proper
diet. But the sad fact is that great
numbers of young people are hap¬
hazard eaters, and pursue diets which
are grossly deficient. It’s this danger¬
ous situation that Youthpower seeks ta
correct. May it enjoy all success.
