Peters Hits Inefficiency In Schools (Georgia school systems breed “waste and inefficiency,” State Board of Education chairman James S. Peters declared here Monday. This results in much of the edu¬ cational dollar being lost, Peters said. “I say without the thought of contradiction that these small units were created and represent the horse-and-buggy age in public edu¬ cation,” Peters declared. Smaller schools mean an “in¬ ferior quality of education” for the children attending the schools, he said. L SNOW blowers PAY JOUR idUBcCBJPTION NOV.

James P. Davidson Cleveland, Georgia Dear Jim: I can not let the year close without expressing my gratitude to you for the many favors yau have rendered me during this and pre¬ vious years. You have always been a true, loyal, and substantial friend when I needed you, and, of course that is the test of genuine friendship. I sincerely hope that you, your fine wife, your children, and grand children will have a happy Christ¬ mas and that the year 1965 will be a good one for each of you. With the kindest personal re¬ gards I am and will always remain Your friend, T. S. CANDLER. - Christmas — In my old home we eagerly looked forward to Christmas. We always felt the spirit of the day and were always happy with each other. I sometimes wonder about it now. I am almost afraid for chil¬ dren — they have so much that there seems little left for them to anticipate or really enjoy. I believed in Santa Claus, be¬ lieved even when older boys laugh¬ ed at me for my faith. We had no fireplace, only a wood stove, and I could not figure out just how the wonderful old gentleman got in, but I was sure that he did, nevertheless. The fact that I be¬ lieved in him took care of the de¬ tails. Contrary to present-day argu¬ ment, this faith did not affect my latetr life unfavorably. When I discovered that Santa Claus was a lisembodied spirit, all was well. My deeper faith in God and Jesus vas not destroyed. Indeed, I am glad that I had this childhood thrill and vivid ex¬ perience. It has blessed me all these years. —( From Lines of a Layman, by J. C. Penney, copy¬ right 1956. Published by Channel Press, Inc.) Gainesville to Start Bypass Route Work GAINESVILLE, Ga., Dec. 12 — One of Gainesville’s top priority projects a four-lane route around the business district — will get started in earnest after the first of the year. City commissioners this week premised they would get to work on the project “with all possible haste.” Planned is a four-lane loop around the downtown. The first section would be an extension of Academy Street to Oak Street from North Avenue. The project originally was side¬ tracked because of high land ac¬ quisition costs. But after alter na.e routes were pursued, city of¬ ficials decided to go ahead with the original route along Academy street which is on the north side oi ths business district. Georgia Power Check Received by County The Georgia Power Company this week presented to White Coun¬ ty a check totaling $5,201.84, rep¬ resenting the utility’s local prop¬ erty taxes for 1964. In presenting the tax payments, T. R. Hall, local manager, said this was part of approximately $8,405, 000 m property taxes being paid by the company this week to mu¬ nicipal and county governments throughout Georgia. Some $3,778,000 of that sum goes into general county funds, $ 3 , 012,000 to school districts, $ 1 ,- 410,000 to cities and towns, and $141,000 to 1 the State of Georgia a id to adjoining states. The company’s total tax bill for 1964, including federal, state, coun iy and municipal payments, will exceed $38,000,000. This is 43 per cent more than total annual sal¬ aries paid to employees who oper¬ ate the company. BIBLICAL CAKE: There’s just time before Christmas to bake a “Grandmother’s Scripture Cake.” The formula come out of an old recipe book and from Scriptures.

Serve with a great portion of Amos 4:5. Yon check your Bible now if you want to know the ingredients. — Leo Aikman in Atlanta Consti¬ tution. Ten New Commandments 1. Thou shaft not worry, for by so doing thou shalt suffer the same same disaster many times. 2. Thou shalt not try to domi¬ nate or possess others, for it is the right of every man to govern his own actions. 3. Thou shalt not desire fame, for the burdens of greatness are an affliction of the spirit. 4. Thou shalt not desire great wealth, for there is no peace in the lives of the rich. 5. Thou shalt relax, for great tension is an abomination unto the flesh. 6. Thou shalt have a sense of humor, or thy years' will seem much longer and painful in the land. 7. Thou shalt love the beautiful and serve the good, for this is according to the will of heaven. 8. Thou shalt harm no Other person, by woTd, or thoughts, or deed, regardless of the cause; for to do so is to perpetuate the sor¬ rows of the race. 9. Thou shalt not be angry at any person for any reason, for anger injures most the one who is angry. 10. Thou shalt never blame an¬ other for thy misfortunes, for each man’s destiny is his own keeping. — Quoted from Sunshine Magazine.
