Is Penalty For Hunting
Violators Stiff Enough?
How still should the punishment be for hunting and
fishing violations?
It has been learned that one hunter boldly told the
county game warden recently he wouldn’t buy a hunting
license. He said he’d “take m'y chances” on getting caught
and on having to pay if he did.
In a number of recent hunting (
and fishing violations cases in '
Chattooga City Court, a fine of,'
$5 has been levied but then
suspended altogether.
Os the 20 cases recorded this
year, only 11 paid anything and
each of them had posted a cash j (
bond If they had gone to court,}
would they have ended as the
otliers did with suspended (
fines, probation, or perhaps no}
action at all?
Game Warden Willard Elliott 1
admits that he becomes discour- , ।
aged after catching a violator. ।
having him plead guilty and j ।
then having him turned loose
without what he considers suf- I
ficient punishment
Elliott says he wouldn't want to * ।
see a violator get an "excessive"
Une for a violation of this type}
but says he feels they should be h
fined some. ‘'Otherwise," he says,
‘'they'll be inclined not to buy a i
license or abide by any rules they : i
don't approve of "
Elliott says lie doesn’t believe

Often at Christmastime we
see the word "Christmas"!
spelled "Xmas." Then- have
been those people who get verv
much upset because of such
spilling, and say. "We ought
never to spell Christmas
X-M-A-S. because X stands 10l
the unknown . . or we should
never let X stand for Christ "
To look seriously and more
deeply at tile matter, it is not
so bad at all to spell Christmas
"Xmas" or li t "X" stand for
Christ. Why? Because X or
"Chi" is the 22nd letter ol the
Greek alphabet, or the equiv
alent of our "ch" oi ’ kh" sound
in English.
Certainly, if we were dealing
in algebraic terms. "X" prob- ;
ably would represent the un

that the New Testament origi

that simply being hauled into
court is sufficient punishment
or deterrent to future violations.
Hunting and Gaming viola
tions may appear to be minor
offenses, continued the warden.
And they are usually committed
by persons who never get into
other kinds of trouble.
But, he said, unless they are
reminded with at least some sort
of fine, they are likely not only
to continue violating but also en
couraging others to do likewise,
Under such circumstances, the
entire system of game enforce
ment could break down in the
county.
Laws concerning hunting and
fishing were designed to conserve
the wildlife, he said. Most sin
cere, informed hunters and
fishermen know this, continued
Elliott, and are therefore glad to
cooperate.
But he's concerned that soft
ness toward violators might
cause more and more persons to
fake a lackadaisical attitude
toward abiding by the law.
I to such conclusions as "it’s
wrong and sinful to use the
symbol X for Christ or Xmas
for Christmas.
Jesus Christ has been, now
is, and will be known to the
liearts and lives of men and
women, boys and girls . . . not
as an unknown, distant, magi
cal figure . . . but as a real and
great and wonderful personal

even YOU, as you read this

when Christ comes into YOUR
life and heart, it will be be

As we approach the Christ

the "unknown" in YOUR heart
and life, or the "known"? Do
you really know Christ and
trust Him as Saviour and Lord?

Observations
X bq
AS we enter the Christmas
Season and join wholeheartedly
in commemorating the birth of
the great Master who came to
bring peace to men of good will
in a world of strife, hatred and
persecution, let’s be mindful
that it isn’t our birthday—so,
let’s “act like it.”
He proclaimed a new gospel
of love, mercy and hope, which
He brought as a message from
his Father in Heaven. Many of
his ideas and doctrines were
rooted in the ancient wisdom
found in the utterances of the
Hebrew prophets and poets
with which He was quite fa
miliar. These words from one
of them is an impressive ex
ample: “What doth the Lord
require of thee, but to do
justly, and to love mercy, and
to walk humbly with God?”
The greatest of all the world’s
seers and prophets was the
lowly Nazarene who taught
men to understand that God is
their Father and that the
people of all the world are His
children, and that they should
love one another as He loves
them. The practice of brother
hood was never more forcefully
illustrated than by Jesus in his
unforgettable story of the Good
Samaritan who quickly and
generously came to the assist
ance and relief of the “certain
man” traveling along the road
to Jericho who fell among
thieves, was robbed, brutally
beaten by them and left there
to die. A priest came by and
then a Levite. Each looked at
the poor fellow lying on the
roadside in pain, but that was
all. and each went his way
without doing one thing for
him. Then the Samaritan, a
sort of social outcast, passing
along that way, saw the sor
rowful plight of the injured and
suffering man and had com
passion on him, lifted him up.
bound up his wounds, helped
him to the nearest inn and took |
care of him. paying the host in
advance of his service. Truly,
it was a beautiful example of
the practical operation of the
new gospel the Master was
seeking to inculate.
Now. be assured, it is not the
intent nor is It the desire of |
the writer to turn the clock}
of time back However, for the
next couple of minutes, let’s)
look with spiritual eyes back to
the old days at Christmas time
. . . there was very little if any
commercializing. Very few, if j
any. expected anything "out of,
the ordinary." except to observe j
Christmas in all its purety. The |
church house was small . . .
lighted with coal oil lamps . . . I
The service was "genuine” and }
was but for one purpose, and
one purpose only Six or eight |
inches of snow on the ground :
made the service even more
impressive. The people of the,
community, along with the
pastor (not preacher.) came

i • together at a given time . . .
’ Preparations had been made
for a “Christmas Program” . . .
i Participants in the program
I had practiced their parts .. ,
I Everybody came to the church
the best way they could . . .
Clothed against the freezing
weather —they came all bun
dled up ... At the door, we
stamped the snow off our shoes
and made our way in as close
to a large pot-bellied stove as
possible. A big, tall cedar
Christmas tree stood in the cor
ner at the left or right of the
pulpit. The pastor’s sermon was
brief, but appropriate and was
followed by the “program.”
Christmas songs were sung . . .
The youngsters gave “rescita
tions” and behind a curtain was
a prompter just in case one of
the participants forgot his or
her lines.
Climaxing the occasion,
Santa Claus came “bustin’ ” in
exactly on time, ringing bells
and mingling with bug-eyed
youngsters, some of whom re
sponded with blood-curdling
yells, while those a little more
mature, glowed with joy and
satisfaction . . . They were ex
pecting Santa and wanted to
shake his hand and tell him
what they wanted him to bring
’em. Os course, old Santa didn’t
make any rash promises, but
assured the little ones that he
would bring them something.
Yeah, it was Christmas time
... a time for joy, a time for
Thanksgiving, a time for rever
ance. We knew the true mean
ing of Christmas, and we acted
like it . . . The presents given
out were cherished and kept—
down through the generations.
Did we get cold? Well, frankly,
I don’t remember—l reckon we
did. but what difference did it
make—it was Christmas Time!
From me and my house, in
cluding the members of the im
mediate tribe, we send affec
tionate greetings to everybody
. . . Along with our fervent
prayers and hopes for your wel
fare and security during the
trying days through which
we’re passing. May the gracious
spirit of the Christmas season
dwell abundantly in your hearts

measures of success, good
health, courage and content
