Senator Richard B. Russell has
announced that theFederal Bureau
of Public Roads has allocated
$400,000 to be applied toward
completion of tbeSenator Richard
B. Russell Scenic Highway in
White and Union couuties. The
latest allocation of Federal money
for this road, newly designated
State Highway 148, will extend
the present construction some 6.3
miles north to State Highway 180
near U. S. 129, Work on the
Scenic Highway began in i960
with funds obtained by Senator
Bussell. The road extends from
State Highway 356 at Dukes
Creek to Tesnatee Gap m Union
County. This latest allocation
will make it necessary for com¬
pletion of the highway.
Bill Bates, office of Senator Rus

Perry Kin cr state highway de
partment, Atlanta, advises that
the state will pay the cost of con¬
struction and paving the portion
outside of the National Forest. He
estimates this will be around
$500,009, which will make this
portion to cost $900,000. He also
stated that it would be let in two
contracts—one probably let in

COMMENTS . . .
On Here & Hereafter
When Solomon had finished the
magnificent temple, he proved him¬
self to be a wise man by having
brought into the temple the things
of his father David as well as the
ark of the covenant which signi¬
fied the presence of God In the
midst of his forefathers. It is sig¬
nificant that the eternal princi¬
ples never change. A principle that
was right and good two thousand
years ago is still right and good.
The principle of right and wrong
never changes. Whether men live
in palaces or cottages, whether they
ride in automobiles or walk down
the dusty highways, they are bound
by the same moral laws. When we
discuss the “old-time religion,”
some people sneeringly inquire,
“De you wish to go back to the
horse-and-buggy days?” A horse
and buggy have nothing to do
with what is decent and right. In
the old days when boys took their
sweethearts to ride in buggies,
some of them were good and some
were bad. So it is today. Decent
boys and girls ride in automobiles,
but some who are indecent some¬
times park their cars in dark places
on the highways of America. The
only difference between the auto¬
mobile days and the horse-and
buggy days is this: The folks who
want to go to hell can go faster
in an automobile. But whether in
a buggy or a car, sin always leads
to sorrow, to ruin, and to hell.
What we need in this country
is to get back to simple funda¬
mentals, back to the Bible, back to
the old standards, back where we
can say, and know what we are
saying when we say it, “This is
right, and that is wrong.”
The trouble with so many young
people today is that they do not
know what is right and what is
wrong. Many young people have
been taught that what they want
or the thing they are inclined .to
do is right and that they have a
right to have anything they want
or do anything they are inclined
to do.
That is the philosophy of the
fall. It is satanic philosophy. Eve
in the Garden of Eden wanted
fruit because it looked good and
tasted good and would, so she
thought, make her wise. She had
what she wanted, or at least what
she thought she wanted; but she
got more than she wanted.
She got kicked out of Paradis?
by the foot of God’s infinite jus¬
tice.
She brought pain to her body
and sorrow to her soul. Adam fol¬
lowed Eve, and man has always
had to earn his bread by the
sweat of his brow and carry pain
in his heart.
God lets people sometimes have
what they think they want. But if
what they want is wrong, then
they always get more than they
want.
The girl who plucks a rose of
pleasure from a forbidden bush
will always get the prick of the
thorn. And the pain from the
prick of the thorn and the sear that
it leaves are an awful price to
pay for the momentary pleasure
that comes from plucking the rose.

Free Enterprise???
Motorola, Inc., in Illinois, re¬
cently turned down a negro job
applicant because, the company
contended, he made a poor score
on a general ability test and not
because of his race.
He appealed to the state Fair
Employment Practice Commission
and an examiner ruled in his favor.
To the contention of low grades,
the examiner answered that the
firm MUST STOP GIVING A

ing it is UNFAIR to “CULTURAL
