Can God Count On
You?
BY J. SEABORN WINN,
Milner, Ga.
You know that you can count on
God,
As along Life’s Road you plod,
But when there is hard work to do,
Can God always count on you?
When your way grows rough and
steep,
With heavy heart you groan and
weep,
You turn to God, He helps you
through,
But can He always count on you?
If beneath Christ’s Flag unfurled
The Christians face this wicked
world,
And do their part in His Great Plan,
God will protect and bless our Land.
BARNHILL INTERESTING STORY OF HIS VOYAGE ON A LUXURY LINER
BY G. C. BARNHILL
Glenwood, Ga.
The atmosphere aboard the great
and beautiful Queen Mary is such,
that you are lifted in your apprecia
tion of the finer things of life as
related to the material things of this
world, this gives a fellow something
of a new feeling. Your steps are
quicker, you are in search of the
very best manners you have been
able to command and the beaut} 7 of
your fellowman comes to the sur
face much easier. Now if you will
come aboard this flooting palace of
the sea we will pick up after we
have let the skyline of New York
fade and the deep blue sea is all
around us.
We go to our cabins to set up
house keeping for the next five
days, the halls down the main line
are large but they turn smaller as
we turn to find ours which is lo
cated in a very ideal section of the
ship, near the half way line. Now
I have never taken trip on one be
fore but I did know this much and
was about all I did know, that the
very best location is in this section,
because if storms develop, you do
not do the going away up and then
dive forward, so I wrote my agent
in New York when I was securing
my reservations in January that I
was taking my first trip and one
request I had to make of him and it
was this, please give me. a cabin lo

GEORGIANS ARE ASKED TO HELP
PREVENT DISASTROUS WILDFIRES
Georgians, in the midst of one of
the most severe droughts in the
state’s history since 1925, today were
asked to exercise “extreme caution”
to prevent' ’ disastrous wildfires
among Georgia’s 25 million acres of
forest land.
Guyton DeLoach, Director. Geor
gia Forestry Commission, made the
appeal as he reported the state’s for
est fire situation is “becoming in
creasingly dangerous as each hour
passes without rainfall.
“County rangers and Forester in
the 117 Georgia counties under or
ganized forest protection,” he added,
“have been alerted to the extreme
wildfire danger brought on by this
current dry'spell. They stand ready
at a moment’s notice, night or day,
to battle forest fires; but when seve
ral fires occur simultaneously in a

Listen! There is the call for lunch.

Three very large and beautiful
dining rooms throughout the ship
now begin to be inhabited by two
thousand hungry and excited hu
man beings, they serve at two set
tings, I selected the second setting
as I wanted to act big, like I was
use to eating nine o’clock break
fasts. Every effort is made by the
management of the ship to place
each person so that they will espe
cially enjoy their meals and com
panionship. So in the purchase of
your ticket you must tell your age,
whether you are married, widower,
and all such, so to my good luck at
county, large woodland losses can
not be prevented.”
DeLoach said such losses can be
prevented only if Georgians coope
rate with fire fighting forces in a
statewide prevention campaign.
“Records this week,” the Commis
sion head declared, “show that many
of the fires we are battling were
caused by carelessness in burning
brush. Farmers who refrain from
buring brush until this danger pe
riod is past can contribute greatly to
our prevention campaign”.
The forestry leaders also cited
hunters, fishermen, and motorists as
“Three groups which can make or
break a forest fire prevention cam
paign. Use of cigarettes or matches
in or near the woods can result in
highly damaging wildfire, as can
throwing cigarettes and matches
from automobiles.”

X-DISEASE CAUSE
One of the causes of “X-Disease”
in livestock has been identified by
experimental workers in Tennessee.
Georgia has been one of several
states cooperating in studying the
disease. X-Disease was produced in
healthy animals at a Tennessee
station by daily doses of a chemical
compound called penta-chloronaph
thalene. -Chlorinated naphthalenes
are found in various products used
on the farm.

the table was a dashing rich widow
from Portland, Oregon on my left
then a good looking spinster, a medi
cal student to Switzerland, a Catho
lic Priest from Notre Dame (a very
handsome well ducated and full of
fun). In the center of our table was
a silver flower holder, with three
dozen American Beauty rose buds
that reached their, glory in beauty
the third day out but lingered with
us all the way over. The widow was
one of the rich aristocrats, now can
you even imagine a fellow like me
tacking a job like this. I tell you
she had the clothes and I always
have liked good looking clothes, so
one of my first attacks was to brag
on her clothes to try to see how
many she did have. It was a new
outfit every time and I do believe
if we had gone to Africa, it would
have been a good looking new dress
every meal. I better slow down on
this widow business. Lets look at
the table. Oh! the silverware, now
some of our folks in Wheeler Coun
ty may have had solid silver to use
all their lives but most of us were
raised on three pronged forks and
steel knives that would rust before
the next meal unless they were dried
at once or left in the grease. In
fact this modern upety and put on
stuff is real funny at times but the
four pronged forks are much better,
because with the three pronged
type you had to bust the peas to
control them, with these four
pronged models they will stack up

Dr. Kusnitz’s Clinic is now under

These offices have also undergone a
paint job and air conditioning units
installed.
The entire building is being re

Alamo is proud of this Clinic. The
good service rendered has been of

Loans Still
Available On
Small Grain Crops
Price supports are still available
on lupine, oats and wheat produced
in 1952, according to R. D. Thomas,
Chairman Wheeler County PMA
Committee.
There have been 686 bushels of
oats placed in CCC loans which
totaled $533.32; 2,972 bushels of
wheat with loans totaling $6,458.17;
and 557,000 pounds of Lupine total
ing $18,534.05. Although the loan rate
might have seemed a little low to
some producers of these crops I
feel that the price support program
has been a big help to the producer
and to other citizens of the county.
You know about $25,000.00 circu
lated in our county at this time of
year helps a number of people.
In order to obtain a loan on one
of the above crops it must have been
! produced by the person desiring the
’ loan and it must also have been
produced in 1952. Anyone desiring
a loan should visit PMA Office for
details.

The purpose of the visit was to !

one of the big differences between
American and British driving, was i
one of the main points covered.

rambling over this nation I thought
I had met all the knife and fork
family but I had a blooming knife
and fork in this set up I never could
get straight, so on the second day I
decided to try the aristocrat, turn

what this knife and fork is for, I
have never met them before, she
said “I think they are for fish” I
told her I wouldn’t give a hoot for
what she thought, it was, facts would
be the answer, then calling the
steward over, the question was
settled. A FISH KNIFE AND

GI Bill Os Rights
For Korea Veterans
Is Signed Into Law
President Truman last week
signed a new GI bill of rights, ex
tending most of the World-War II
benefits to veterans of the Korean
War.
The measure provides the new
crop of ex-servicemen with free
: schooling, government - guaranteed
homes, mustering-out pay and other
advantages.
Any serviceman honorably dis
charged since June 27, 1950, and who
had at least 90 days service, is eli
gible. Actual service in Korea is
not required.
Payments for schooling will be
j made direct to the veteran rather
than to the school, as was the case
under the original GI Bill. The vets
i will make their own deals on tuition
; and other costs. The veteran in full
training will receive from sllO to
■ $l6O per month, with a maximum of
36 school months except for persons
who served also in World War 11.
. Provision is made in the bill for
on-the-job and farm training, with
. a lower scale of allowances.
[ The government would guarantee
loans up to a maximum of $7,500 on
I homes and lesser amounts on farms
; and business operations.
Mustering out pay will be SIOO for
’ service less than 60 days; S2OO for
, more than 60 days, all in this coun
. \ try; S3OO for service overseas or in
Alaska.
, i Unemployment compensation
( would be up to $26 a week for 26
. weeks.

> Georgia Trucks
, Pay 35 Per Cent
Os Road Tax
; |
■; A spokesman for Georgia’s vital
trucking industry announced today
that trucks pay 35 per cent of the
• state’s highway tax dollar.
Danny Boggs, executive vice presi
i dent of the Georgia Motor Trucking
, i Association, Atlanta, cited figures
1 based on statistics obtained from the
■ U. S. Bureau of Public Roads show
! ing that taxes from trucks pave bet
ter than one out of every three miles
of highway in Georgia.
Boggs pointed out that trucks ac
‘ count for only 23 percent the total
; mileage traveled by vehicles over
• Georgia’s streets and highways. He
! added that only one out of five reg- ‘
; istered vehicles in the state is a
truck. “Yet”, he stated, “trucks pay
j 35 per cent of Georgia’s highway
; taxes.”
i “Yes, trucks pay their way,” Boggs
said, “to the tune of $1,250,000,000 a
j year in special highway taxes, more
; than the total spent for new roads
jon all state highway systems in
j 1949.”
The GMTA executive stated that
in 1950, for example, Georgia’s more
i than 190,000 trucks paid $20,000,050
'in special highway taxes out of
total highway user revenues of $57,-
143,000 but in that year the state
diverted $22,302,000 from highway
, funds to other uses.
He urged passage of a proposed
, constitutional amendment which
would allocate all highway funds to
the State Highway Department.
