SAVANNAH (PRN) - This
year Savannahians have reason
for extra elation as they
prepare for Georgia Week, the
city’s annual celebration of
the founding of the youngest
colony.
The event, set for February
6-13, will mark the opening of
the colonial capital’s exciting
new Civic Center. The Civic
Center will be the scene of the
colorful pageant reenacted
each year which depicts the
landing of General James
Edward Oglethorpe and his
courageous band of colonists
at Yamacraw Bluff, February
12, 1733.
The 1972 commemoration
will be ninth in a series begun
by a handful of volunteers,
now expanded to a
community-wide involvement
of many civic groups and
hundreds of individuals.
Other highlights of the
week’s program include a
special service at the Jerusalem
Evangelical Church at
Ebenezer on February 6. The
congregation will follow an
order of service set forth when
the church was established
there in 1734. At the same
time, a newly completed
museum at nearby Rincon

EGG WISE
Next time you buy eggs,
check to see that the carton
has the USDA grade shield,
which assures size and quality.
A U. S. Grade AA (or fresh
fancy) egg stands high in the
pan and covers only a small
area when broken out while a
Grade A egg covers a moderate
area. Both the AA and A
quality eggs have a round firm
yolk and a thick white. The U.
S. Grade B egg, which may
cover a wider area when
broken out, may have a small
amount of thick white and a
yolk that is somewhat
flattened and enlarged.
Salzburger settlement will be
open to the public.
On February 9, the
Downtown Garden Club will
sponsor a Victorian Tea.
Hostesses in period costume
will serve refreshments to
visitors in one of the city’s
charmingly restored homes.
The big Georgia Procession
begins at Oglethorpe’s Bench
with the firing of cannon at 11
a.m. on February 11, followed
at noon by the Governor’s
reception and luncheon at the
DeSoto Hilton Hotel. That
same evening visitors may join
in a “Revel on River Street” at
Savannah’s historic
waterfront. Special festivities
are planned for the unique
19th century taverns and
shops housed in buildings that
once served as cotton
warehouses on the city’s main
street of commerce.
As in previous years,
historical exhibits will be
displayed throughout the city,
and numerous programs of
entertainment will be
presented.

“It’s A Grind”
A shaft of steel was mumbl
ing to itself in the hands of a
workman, “It’s all a grind,
nothing but a grind. ” But out of
the torment of the grinding,
there came a sword to save a
cause.
A dull pebble was complain
ing, 'lt’s all a grind, a dull,
deadly grind.” But before
long, the pebble shone with an
inward light in the hands of
the cutter and another gem
was added to the world’s
Jewelry treasury.
“It’s nothing but a grind,
a soul-killinggrindfrommor
ning til night.” A great slab
of glass was speaking. But
under the grinding, the glass
became a polished lens by
which man could better view
the stars.
Do we groan with the grind
ing of daily life and raise our
voices in protest? We do, in
deed, for that is the human
way of it, but we also grow
with the grinding! For it is
the human way of it, but we
also grow with the grinding!
For it is the daily grind, as
dull and purpose-less as it
may seem, that rounds off our
rough edges and makes us
ready for greater service or
usefullness.
So where does the world
press hard upon you today?
There is where you will find
a sword, a gem, a window of
the heavens, or a mission
accomplished, provided you
can take it. Otherwise, you will
never discover what you are
made of, what you are good
for and how much you can
stand. For life is a sculptor
chipping away, and the more
marble it seems to waste, the
the more the statue actually
grows!
RESOLUTION: Whatever
irritates you, makes you ang
ry, brings frustration, lowers
your morale, tell yourself
this: “I am going to keep my
thoughts and feelings as
cheerful and pleasant as pos
sible, and reply to “How are
you?” with “Better!” since we
can always get “Better!”
SCRIPTURE: “Upon whom
ever the cornerstone (Jesus)
falls, it will grind him to
powder” Lk. 20, 18.
“Unless the grain of wheat
falls into the ground and dies,
it remains alone. If it dies,
it brings forth much fruit.
Who loves his life, loses it;
who hates it, keeps it.” Jo.
12, 24.
PRAYER: Keep me smiling,
Lord Keep me pleasant,
cheerful, and trusting in the
power of Your love for all of
us.
God bless you now,

Many homeowners complain
about moss invading their
lawns. Moss usually is as
sociated with low fertility,
poor drainage, high soil acidity,
too much shade, soil com
paction or a combination of
these. The most common
causes, however, are lack of
fertility and poor drainage. A
balanced fertilization program
will go a long way toward
preventing moss, according to
Extension Service Specialists.
