Letter to The Editor:
Life and its struggle which ev
ery individual is called to make,
seems so difficult to understand,
causes many tragedies and sui
cides with lots of mental worry
to the entire human family.
When a soul is first awakened
to a new creation within which
takes place in every life at some
stage, man discovers he stands
on slippery ground and must
reach out or take hold of or have
some invisible power extend a
helping hand to rescue him, for
the shadow of despair faces him
in every direction.
First, man tries in his own
strength to discard the natural
instinct, seeing his earthly house
faces death with no escape. What
shall I do? Where can I get re
lief or find a hiding place? Per
sonal experience teaches us we
cannot shake off the enemy
through our own strength and
power. No power we possess
within can cope with the forces
which surround us or this earth
ly house which holds us. Our ef
fort without the divine aid is
futile. Effort without divine aid
is like lifting one’s self by his
bootstraps.
We must pray and wait power
from above to break the chain
that binds us here. This power
must be sought all through life
so long as man lives on earth.
It’s not just one battle and then
done, but so long as man exists
on earth. We cannot walk alone,
but must await His presence in
every battle we are called to
, fight.
Lord, give us power to accom
plish or our effort is truly in
vain.
C. A. DODD,
Menlo, Ga.
LAWYERS CAUTIONED
ON RACE PREJUDICE
Robert B. Troutman, president
I of the Georgia Bar Association,
' addressing that body’s 64th an
■ nual convention in Augusta,
urged lawyers in Georgia to work
for “the impartial administra
tion of justice to all racial
groups.”
“Here in the South,” he said,
“we are engaged in the great so
cial experiment of two races liv
' ing side by side. It is a problem
[ that cannot be solved by isola
[ tion. It can only be solved by
j fairness to both races.”
The Atlanta attorney stressed
the ne’ed for this policy to avoid
: outside criticism of this state.
Sugar Supply Situation
Continues to Improve
Householders may get their
full year’s 35-pound allotment of
sugar by Aug. 1, with promise of
more for the year if the supply
situation continues to improve,
| E. Burns Brooks, Georgia branch
director of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture’s Sugar Rationing
Administration, announced in
Atlanta this week.
Mr. Brooks said SRA’s action
was taken in a move to accel
erate home canning and to pre-
vent possible loss of early berry
and fruit crops.
Though SRA previously had
announced advancement of the
1 July 1 validation date on Stamp
; No. 12 (10 pounds) to June 1. it
’ quickly moved the date up a sec
ond time to May 26.
Spare Stamp No. 53 (five
pounds) was validated Jan. 1
: and expired March 31. Stamp No.
| 11 (10 pounds) was validated on
April 1 and expires Oct. 31.
[ Stamp No. 12 also will be good [
until Oct. 31. Still another 10- j
pound stamp, good for 10 pounds,
will be validated not later than
Aug. 1, Mr. Brooks said.
The SRA director pointed out.
however, that the 35 pounds of
sugar represented by these
I stamps must cover both house
hold and canning uses unless
[ improvement in the supply
i makes further allotments pos- [
sible later in the year.
