Even though we find it somewhat slow
to regain our strength after (they took 5
pints of blood from us at Hall County
Hospital, we observe a noticeable Im¬
provement; Our completion reduced

cau.think clearer. We feel like working
now, woico baa been a burden for some

its the next morning after we entered tbs
hospital that we were producing a very,

an enlarged spleen and that it would be
corrected by medication and taking some
of cur excess blood.
He makes it impressively clear Vo the
patien . What he IS afftets the patient
nearly as muchaa the medication he so
skillfully administers.
Dr, Stribling told us that Gainesville
has 20 specialists, That is something to
marvel at foi such a small city,
The patient receives immediare amt
most courteous attention. Yon couldn't
ask for better attention or courtesy from
the nurses, aides and orderlies. They are

EDUCATION IS PAIN IN NECK’
Cleveland, Ga.~Would the GEA
plan, for superintendents by app
ointment, really be best? Even the
dullest of elections and misinform¬
ed public often bring out startling
facts. People are not interested in
the regular meetings oi county
boards which often comprise uned¬
ucated, selfish men without child¬
ren and with a political ax. Much
could be done in secret which would
not transpire in an election.
County members are not always
qualified in their judgement of val¬
ues of a superintendent. Why not
require a county board member to
have school age children?
While the GEA is so energetic,
why not some thought to the sys¬
tem of allotting teachers on the
ADA? Give the schools credit for
teachers on a first of the year en¬
rollment, rather than on the atten¬
dance which may be adversly af¬
fected by such as flu. Why make the
interested children and their inter¬
ested parents suffer?
And how about some thought of
our curriculum for the financially
overburdened parents who must put
up with late-hour games for foot
balll all fall, basketball all winter,
baseball in the spring, instead of
time for subjects to help some chil¬
dren make a living that are not in¬
terested in sports, but cannot be of¬
fered anything else at that time of
day? In exchange for all this our
children are seldom home to learn
work, fair play and above all hon¬
esty in expecting a little less of par¬
ents who must both slave to provide
frills and liesure for the children.
Education is anything but free—it
is a pain in the neck!

GRAHAM SEES DANGER
IN SCHOOL PRAYER BAN
MONTREAT, N. C., June 26.
(UPI)— Evangelist Billy Graham
said Monday the U. S. Supreme
Court decision banning official state
prayers in public schools is “anoth
er step toward secularism in the
United States.”
The North Carolina evangelist
resting at his came here after his re¬
cent Chicago crusade, said the deci¬
sion “is a most dangerous
apd comes at a time when Ameri¬
can youth is in “need of moral and
spiritual influence as never before.”
PRIVILEGE, MONEY CAN BE
MAN’S WORST PERILS TO
PEACE, ETERNITY
Vernon S. Broyles
The standard of living has
come the god of the world. It
true in America as well as in
We are contantly trying to
better but the word “better”
plies mainly to money l..... rather
morals. We call a man with mousy
a success and a man without money
a failure. We raise our children to
make a good living rather than to
live the good life. We are more in¬
terested in their social contaots than
in their contact with God.
In our obsession with things wt
do well to at least hear from an¬
other side of the question. Jesus
Christ had a good deal to say about
people who majored in their stan¬
dard of living. Hie said Ume tad
again in many ways that money is
man’s greatest danger. He said
that a man’s life does not consist
in the abundance of things which
he possesses. He told a story of a
man who could think of nothing to
do with his accumulating possession
but hoard them in larger barns. Ha
noted that the man was to die a lost
soul.
He said it was as hard for a rich
man to enter the kingdom of Hea¬
ven as for a camel to pass through
the eye of a needle. He told of a
rich man named Dives, who lived as
though the beggar Larazus did not
exist and it cost him his soul. Jesus
never said it was wrong to hav»
money. He did constantly point out
that it easily generates pride and
conceit which destroy the soul. A
dollar gets between a man and God
more easily than anything elsa.
Nearly every nation that has fal¬
len in history has first rotted out
inside because of the life of ease end
luxury which destroys character.
Communism made its greatest stride
where men and women of privilege
and money failed to see the poor
at the door.
Paul said the love of money is the
root of all evil. In our land we do
well to think about this whole mat¬
ter. Life is more than food and rai¬
ment. Real life exists at another
level altogether. It exists at the
spiritual level of love and mercy
and kindness and truth and beauty
and honor. Those who seek these
things first may never make e>
much money. They may make no
money. To those who seek the
things of the spirit, money ceases
to be a major concern.
No one denies the value of ma¬
terial things in their place. Their
place however is second to spiritual
values. Christ's admonition, “Seek
ye first the Kingdom of God and
His righteousness and all these
things shall be added,” Is the only
true guide to abundant living. To
build your life, your family, your
nation on a material standard of
living is to insure failure. To sur¬
render all to God to be used accord¬
ing to His will is to find the way of
life. — Atlanta Constitution
WWI PENSION BILL DRIVE J
NEARS GOAL 1 5
WASHINGTON (UPI) —Backer*
of a controversial $11 billion pension
bill for veterans of World War I
said today they were about over the
top in their drive to force the bill
to a House vote.
Opponents said they feared the
bill’s supporters were right. They
said they believed also that the bill,
once it got to the House floor, would
be passed.
The bill has been blocked in the
House Veterans Affairs Committee,
However the Veterans of World War
I of the U.S.A., Inc., a 215,000-man
ex-service group that sponsored the
bill, said 192 House members hed
signed a petition to discharge the
bill from committee and bring it to
a vote.
Veterans Committee Chairman CM
in E. Teague, D-Tex., a decorated
and wounded infantry veteran of
World War II, says World War I
veterans now are covered, and
should be, under the same non-ser¬
vice-connected pension laws that tr
pply to veterans of World War II
and Korea.
Teague says action to increase
compensation checks for veteran*
disabled in service is more urgent
than legislation to liberalize pay¬
ments to those disabled in civilian
life.
Under the bill the existing test#
of age and disability would be elim¬
inated for veterans of World Warl,
and needs tests would be liberaliz
ed. i
Monthly payment* would be
$102,837. F^efeent law provides «
sliding scale of payments based cm
age, need and disability not due to
service, and running up to #100 «
month.
