TTie 106 seniors who graduate from Murphy High School Thursday are due congratulations and best wishes for the future. Whether they enter college or go to work they have gained an independence which they have looked forward to throughout their school years. Now that they are on the threshold of that adult world, it may seem a little uncertain or even frightening to them. However, the fact that they have successfully completed 12 years of schooling under the rigorous standards set by H. Bueck and his associates, the teachers of Murphy schools, is ample evidence that they have the qualifications for success in the future. Those 12 years of training were vital to their future success and happiness, and the next 12 are equally important. Now, their achievements will depend upon their own individual ambitions and initiative. These young people will no longer have teachers to guide them and give them individual attention. However, they will find that wher ever they go, there will be people more than willing to lend a helping hand ot the young person who is willing to work for what he or she wants. They will also find that America is still the land of opportunity and we sincerely hope that they take advantage of it. Georgia Town Gets A New Industry There was a story in last Thursday's Atlanta Journal that should be of interest to Cherokee County folks. It was about how Talla poosa, Georgia, population 2826, got a new industry. The folks down there got together and decided they wanted a new industry. So they contacted one, a rubber company, and got a com mitment. Then they raised $75,000 among themselves, borrowed another $100,000 and constructed a 25,000 square foot building, all within a period of eight months. They'll get their money back from rentals over the next 15 years. The plant itself only employs about 30 people and maybe that seems like an awful lot of money and effort for an industry that small, however the folks down there didn't feel that way about it. They knew that 30 new workers in their town means 90 more peo ple; 34 more households; 17 more school children; $196,000 more per sonal income per year; 32 more passenger cars registered; 57 more workers employed; and $120,000 more retail sales per year. Besides, Tallapoosa's citizens felt that the plant, which manufac tures a rubber compound, will attract other companies who want to use its raw materials. A company spokesman at the formal opening of the plant said that they had rejected many good sites because the people of the community did not show enough interest in the new industry. They picked Tallapoosa, he said, because "any town that wants new industry like these people did is bound to succeed." Backward Glance 10 YEARS AGO Thursday, May 22, 1947 Mr. and Mrs. H.

The statement "Thy f*i th have saved thee," may also be of given unity o I mind and read: "Thy faith hath made thee whole." To be saved is as one going down gasping and despairing, into the deep watersfor the last time and being caught by a strong arm; it is also the emergence from a helter skelter mass of brick, sand, ce ment, lumber, tile, glas<, of a building of lovely symmetry and worth. Salvation can be gained in only one way. "There is no other name under heaven given among men," the apostle declared, "Whereon you must be saved." Their word still holds good. Jesus Christ is the only name. His purpose in coming was to rescue people from sin and its miseries, death and utter loss. "Thou shall call his name Jesus," was the word of the angel to Jos eph, "because he shall save his people from their sins". "The Son of Man came," declared the Mast er in the home of Zaccheus, to seek and to save that which was lost." We are not being narrow in in sisting there is no other way, but realistic. "There is one Mediator between God and men, Himself the Man Christ Jesus." So dire is our condition, so sinful our natures, so hopeless our lot that God alone can deliver. Rightly should we pray with Jeremiah: "Hail me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved." Christ saves by the perfect, ob edient life He lived; by the word of wisdom He spoke, by the sacrifi cial death He died, by rising again, by ruling over us and praying for us. At times God's way of salvat ion is explained in shallow fashion; in content it is far richer than oft en we imagine. We are saved b> the death of Christ, yes; but we are also saved by His life. "If we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son," Paul declared, "much more .... shall we saved by his life." "He is able ... to save those who draw near to God through Him," we read in Hebrews, "since i He always lives to make interces sion for them." (RSV) God saves, but we must receive 1 salvation. "By grace you are sav- i cd", all of God-but "through faith," that we must exercise. Sal 1 vation costs us nothing, being j | God's free gift, but it costs us our i very lives.

C. / By HEINZ DOLLMAN I mentioned in last week's col umn that the most important thing is for us to preserve our way of life, and to keep on practicing AMERICANISM which we have to try to spread all over the world. The greatest dan ger to the preser vation of our way of life and to A M E R I C A NT ISM would be an other war, which would o p 1 y be started by the Communists, and Heinz (tollman 1 feel, and have felt so for a long time, that we are just about as close to another war as it is safe to be. As all of us know, another war might be disasterous, ont only for the whole world, but also in in our own country could easily de stroy in less than 10 minutes more than we have built up in the last 50 years, though I don't think that any nation could ever actually con quer our spirit. Now, something very interest ing and very vital? vital directly to you and me? has happened a few weeks ago. A number of outstand ing Europeans for many, many years have worked on the idea of the United States of Europe, fashioned in a certain way after our own country. There are in Western Europe a number of coun tries who have an old civilization, technical knowhow and a fairly high standard of living; democra on the life committed to him. In later treatments in "The Word of Life" we shall look at from what we are saved, and to what. But for now the question is: Have you made sure of this experience Df salvation? Not so much "getting saved" as receiving the Saviour,, saying "Yes" to Him, giving Christ in our lives the complete right-of-way. It's the great need of us all. Far t>eyond any seeming security by noney in the bank, or tranquilizer n shape of pellet for jangled nerv js, or bodily vigor through thump ing good health we need this gift Df God? Salvation. He offers each ane of us this priceless bestowal Each one can know His word: 'Thy faith have saved thee." But tie alone can speak that saving vord. cies somewhat similar to what w? have in this country, though not at all alike. The intelligent, for ward-looking and selfless states men in these countries have felt for a. long time that unless Europe ufiites and becomes one, that more blood yet will flow for needless wars in Europe. After all, if you look at the map of the world, you can see that Eu rope, composed of a numper of little independent countries, pop ulated by about 400 million people, is only the appendix of the vast continent of Asia, and the largest part of Asia today is communistic. You might be interested to know that a few hundred years ago a fel low called Genghis Khan brought havoc, destruction and bloodshed to the whole vast piece of land from Mongolia to the very edge of what is now called Europe. There has always been, it seems, some thing bloodthirsty in that Asian part of the world. This little appendix of Asia, Eu rope, is not in the fortunate posi tion we are ? to have 3,000 miles of water between itself and possi ble aggressors. I think one can safely say that we would not have had World War I an World War II if we had had a United States of Europe. Now this wonderful dream has not become a reality, but a first step in the right direction was made a few weeks ago when six European countries, France, Belgium, Germ any, Italy, Holland and Luxem bourg, signed an agreement in Rome to' undertake the first steps for a United States of Europe. A long range goal of the signatories it to create something very simi lar to the United States of Ameri ca, to take away all the barriers, customs, differences, different governments, courts and parlia ments, and make them one. This is the great chance, the golden op portunity, for our country to help create peace forever on this earth. Why?
