Bethel Baptists
Enter Program
Of Achievement
The Bethel Baptist Church
has entered the 1962 Texas Bap-
tist Church Achievement Pro-
gram, pastor Bro. C. L. Cole
said this week.
Sponsored by the Baptist
General Convention of Texas,
the program is designed to
stimulate interest in small-
church work by providing
growth incentives. Outstanding
achievements by pastors and
churches in areas of church,
community and world improve-
ment are recognized locally and
at the annual Texas Baptist
Convention.
More than 660 Texas Baptist
tow'n and country churches en-
tered the program last year.
Some of the churches recorded
twice as many baptisms per
member as the Southern Baptist
Convention average. Others re-
corded outstanding increases in
Sunday School attendance and
gifts to missions.
Goals for advancement are
adopted by each participating
church for the three improve-
ment areas. An inventory ques-
tionnaire furnishes suggestions
for projects, such as health edu-
cation, community recreation
programs, citizenship training,
race relations studies and world
missions.
Pastors recognized in each of
the denomination’s 17 geograph-
ical districts receive parchment
scrolls and the churches receive
achievement certificates which
may be displayed in a promin-
ent position.
Churches in the open country
and in towns of up to 2,500 pop-
ulation, all Latin American
churches and missions, and city
churches wdth less than 300
members, are eligible to enter
the program. About two-thirds
of the denomination’s 3,876 Mrs. ida Ellis, 87, a resident
churches are classified as town 0f £jeita county for 71 years and
During May 1962, 2,462 pro-
ducers on the North Texas mar-
ket delivered a total of
93.763,056 pounds of milk, for a
daily average of 3,024,615
pounds, both are record highs.
Daily producer deliveries were
2.09% above April 1962 and
6.27% over May 1961.
Daily deliveries per producer
averaged 1,229 pounds during
May. The average daily delivery
per producer during May 1962
was 35 pounds, or 2.93% greater
than during April 1962 and 100
pounds, 8.86% over the average
for May 1961.
Producers delivered 81,720,433
pounds of base mil’k and
12,042,623 pounds of excess milk
during May 1962. Class I pro-
ducer milk accounted for only
58,619,805 pounds, or 71.73% of
base deliveries. Thus, 23,100,628
pounds of base deliveries and
all excess deliveries were classi-
fied and priced at the Class II
price (rounded downward to the
nearest cent). Only 62.52% of
total producer deliveries were
classified as Class I.
North Texas handlers (whose
reports were used to compute
the base and excess prices)
utilized a total of 59,834,835
pounds of milk in Class I dur-
ing May, for a daily average of
1,930,156 pounds. Daily Class I
utilization in May 1962 was .40%
greater than in April 1962 and
4.77% above the average for
May 1961.
