Church Members Happy
About Physical Salvation
Five members of New Hope
United Methodist Church in
Summerville are still thankful
that they were sitting four
rows from serious injury or
death last week.
TheK were getting ready to
start their Wednesday mght
prayer meeting service when
they heard what appeared to be
an explosion or crash that
shook the church.
FRONT
Four of the church’s
members were sitting on the
front row of the church while
one was sitting on the second
row. All were about 15 feet
from a side door.
All five immediately
jumped up, (()Pened the door
and ran outside, said the Rev.
Macie King, pastor. Mabel
McCutchins, Ruby Smith,
Mary West and the ¥{ev. King
were sitting on the front row
pew while Barbara Darden was
sitting on the second pew from
the front.
None took time to look
behind them as they raced for
the door.

The human body cools itself
by perspiring. But most
animals £)n’t have this built
in mechanism to protect
themselves.
Most people don't care how
or whether animals cool
themselves when they are
overheated. But farmers who
produce animals for a living do
care. Keith Haydon, animal
scientist at the University of
Georgia Coastal Plain Experi
ment Station here, is conduc
ting research on heat stress in
swine.
NO SWEAT
“Pigs don't sweat,” the
scientist said. *‘They lose body
heat through respiration and
dilation of ilood vessels near
the skin. This process depletes
the body of energy, which is re
quired to dissigate heat. We
are looking at how to replace
the compounds that produce
energy in the body so that the
pig can maintain its body
weight and remain healthy.”
wine producers know that
sows like temperatures of 60 to
65 degrees. But piglets need
temperatures of 95 degrees and
higher to protect against colds
and other respiratory diseases.
S. GEORGIA
“‘More emphasis is put on
the baby pig in south Georgia,”
Haydon said. “The
temperatures are kept high in
the farrowing house for the
piglets, often making the
mothers too warm."”
Whether they are inside or
out, sows do not respond well
to high temperatures and
humid conditions. Hot sows
lose their appetite, resulting in
lower milk production. This in
turn decreases the piglets’ per
formance and growtfi.
Once the piglets are wean
ed, Haydon saig, the heat may
further affect the sows by slow
ing the time they are ready to
breed again.
HEAT
Heat may also decrease ap
petite in older pigs. The rate of
weight gain will be reduced
because their bodies will not
utilize feed efficiently.
“A hot summer can in
crease the number of days from
birth to market by 7 to 14
days,” Haydon said. “‘For the
producer, two weeks could
wreck his business.”
Research efforts are show
ing that electrolyte sup
plements seem to be helping
the pig deal with environmen
tal stress.
“We are trying to balance
the diet, provi({‘i’ng the pig with
the opportunity to overcome
intense heat and humidity and
to reach its maximum weight
and performance,”” Haydon
said.
“If the swine producers in
the South are going to compete
with those in the Midwest, we
must do better than they do,”
Haydon said. ‘‘Heat stress can
affect our animals from late
April throuih mid-November,
a problem the Midwesterners
do not have. We feel that diet
may be the key.”
Street when its brakes failed. It
jumped the right curb, went
airborne and traveled 125 feet
into the side of the church.
The Rev. Kingl said no one
was in the car when they (flzt
outside the door. Owens said he
charged Fowler with leaving
the scene of an accident.
The 1965 Mercury Comet
hit the church underneath one
of its windows. It broke the
brick exterior, the wall's frame,
the plaster and lathing and in
side panelini. The front of the
car struck three pews, knock
ing one across the aisle and in
to a pew on the other side of
the auditorium. The window
and frame were knocked out of
the wall and into the
auditorium. Oddly enough, the
bottom part of the window was
unbroken.
SCATTERED
Bricks, wood, dust and
glass were scattered
throughout much of the
auditorium and molding was

wall of the church.
The Rev. King said the con
gregation had insurance on the
structure and repairs would be
made as quickly as possible.
The women Knd no warning
of the impending crash,
alt.houfih the Rev. fiing said
she thought she heard a
“‘squeaking’ just before the
accident.
SECOND ROW
Mrs. Darden was on the se
cond row from the front — on
l{l four rows away from where
the main force of the impact
was evident. Just before the
misha% said one of the women,
Mrs. Darden had suggested
that the group move into the
choir area of the church.
The church was founded in
the 1800 s and the current brick
structure was built in 1916.
“Thanks be to God that he
saved us,” the Rev. King said,
summarizing the feelings of all
five women.
