J PARSON'S PONDERINGS |
* BY REV. JAMES E. ELERSON J
Another sign placed along our
highways has claimed my atten
tion from time to time and it
reads, “THROWING OF TRASH/
GARBAGE ON HIGHWAY PRO
HIBITED — Maximum penaly
SI,OOO fine and/or imprisonment.”
Now one would think that such
a sign should not be needed; for
we would like to think that a
sense of common cleanliness and
consideration for others should be
enough to prevent persons from
strowing trash along our high
ways. After all, a person would
not throw trash in his own front
yard or in that of his neighbor,
and our highway rights of way
are the fornt yards of all of us;
for this i s what those who pass
through our communities see first
of all. Yet there are those who
are so careless and thoughtless as
to litter our highways with all
kinds of trash making them un
sightly and, in many instances,
dangerous. This thoughtlessness
costs the tax payers great sums
of money each year.
This roadside sign and the ugli
ness and danger which makes the
sign necessary has caused me to
think of the many types of trash
that are being scattered along the
Highway of Life. There has been
a growing concern among right
thinking people about the unpre
cedented production and distribu
tion of lewd and pornographic ma
terials in our country. Conserva
tive estimates have placed the an
nual traffic in this sort of ma
terials throughout the nation as
high as S3OO million.
A few years ago, when Senator
Estes Kefauver of Tennessee was
serving on the Senate Subcom
mittee to investigate juvenile de
linquency, he issued a phamphlet
which contained the following
statement: ‘’From' the examples
(of salacious and pornographic
materials) seized by law-enforce
ment officials, it was obvious that
if such materials were being dis
tributed to children the moral and
psychological damage would be
incalculable . . . As we continued
with the investigation, evidence
showed that children are among
the prime targets of those who dis
tribute these filthy materials.
The curiosity and immaturity of
growing boys and girls are ex
ploited in the sales objectives of
those purveying this type of filth.”
Not all the trash that is being
scattered along the highway of
life is of the written variety.
There are many who strow trash
and filth through the telling of
dirty stories which they prefer
to call “jokes.” Others do so
through gossip; while some litter
the highway of life with profan
ity and vulgar expressions.
Much of the so-called entertain
ment of today is simply another
form of the trash which litters
the highway of life. This invades
our homes through the picture
ternoon at Cobbtown.

' not enough to nauseate anybody,
■ many go seeking more of the
- same and worse in public theatres
’ and other places of amusement.
i In addition to the types of moral
• trash already mentioned, there is
l the advertising of products which
I are detrimental to the health and
■ morals of those who are influ
i enced by the advertisements to
use those products.
' You will note that the highway
• sign mentions a penalty involved
. for those who are found guilty of
throwing trash on our roadsi
This highway sign has its biblical
; counterpart in the words of Jesus
■ contained in Matthew 18:6-7:
“But whoso shall offend one of
these little ones, which believe in
Me, it were better for him that
a millstone were hanged about
his neck, and that he were drown
ed in the depth of the sea. Woe
unto the world because of of- ‘
fences! for it must needs be that ।
offences come; but woe to that '
man by whom the offence com- ]
eth!”
The Apostle Paul wrote to the
Corinthian Church, “Be not de- !
ceived: evil communications cor- j
rupt good manners” (I Corinthians ]
15:33).
“My life shall touch a dozen lives J
before this day is done—
Leave countless marks for good ।
or ill ere sets this evening ,
sun. ]
Shall fair or foul its imprint '
prove, on those my life shall ।
hail? !
Shall benison my impress be, or ]
shall a blight prevail? ।
My life shall touch a million lives j
in some way ere I go ]
From this dear world of struggle ।
to the land I do not know.
So this the wish I always wish, ।
the prayer I always pray: !
Let my life help the other lives ]
it touches by the way.” ;

Home Demonstration ■
Agents To Get New i
Titles Effective July 1 :
When a new year appears on ]
the calendar there is a tendency 1
to continue dating letters and ,
checks with the old year. Geor- ]

and those who work with them i
will experience a similar diffi
' culty beginning July 1. ,
It won’t be the date for them, ■
। but rather some new titles. Es- ।
■ fective July 1, the titles of the ]
agents will be changed to read: ]
County Extension Home Econom- ।
■ ist, Associate County Extension | |
■ Home Economist, or Assistant I ]
; County Extension Home Econom- ■'
; ist. 1 1
: L. W. Eberhardt Jr., director of 1
WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE, ALAMO, WHEELER COUNTY, GEORGIA
the Cooperative Extension Ser- |
vice, University of Georgia, said (
in his announcement of th e title J
change that it is being made in.
response to a request from the :
agents themselves through their
professional association, the Geor- •:
gia Home Demonstration Agents । ;
Association.
The agents, he said, felt that
the Home Economist title more (
clearly represents the wide scope
of their activities in the county.'
Many states have changed to sim- :
ilar titles in recent years, he add- '
ed.
The titles of state staff person
nel in home economics work will
also be affected, Mr. Eberhardt
said. District supervisors of home (
economics work will carry the
title. District Agent-Home Econ
omics. The title for the State
Home Demonstration Leader will
be State Home Economics Leader. :
A typical subject matter special- I;
ist’s title on the state staff will | i
read: Extension Home Economist
—Clothing.
Mr. Eberhardt emphasized that
the change of agents’ title signals;l
no charge in the duties and re-'
sponsibilities of Extension home,
economics workers. They will con- 1
tinue to keep up-to-date on the
newest methods and research in
home economics and make this in
formation available to the people:
of each county, he said.
So with the dawn of day on I
July 1, Home Demonstration Ag-('
ents, a standard title since 1914. I
will become Extension Home Eco-11
nomist.
Home demonstration work was|
an outgrowth of girls’ canning
clubs which were organized in
Georgia in 1911. The program was
formalized with the passage of
the Smith-Lever Act in 1914.

There’s a much easier way to
cool it, man.
Let a flameless electric heat pump keep
your home comfortable year-round:.
No lad with a pad ever had it so glad — until
the electric heat pump made the scene.
This efficient system needs only electricity
and air to operate. Replaces summer heat
with a frosty-morning tingle. Lets you bask
in sunshine warmth on raw winter days.
Set — and forget — the thermostat. Your
heat pump automatically reverses cycle, from
heating to cooling, as needed. You’ll find it
creates no combustion by-products. Home
interiors stay clean.
Operates economically because of our spe
cial low rate for total-electric customers. And
budget billing means your electric bill is the
same amount every month.
So, don’t sit there in that three-dimensional
square. Step up to the joy of electric living.
It’s the master plan, man!
