children was started in a Perry
Homes apartment by the
Passionist seminarians. The
apartment was leased from the
Atlanta Housing Authority and
staffed by teachers and aides
sponsored by EOA. In June a
health clinic opened in the same
apartment. Miss Lucille
Bankhead, R.N., organized a
volunteer staff of Negro and
white doctors, nurses, and the
nuns.
Most of the equipment for the
clinic was donated by the widow
of Dr. Richard Hackney. His
former secretary, Mrs. Inez Jones,
also works in the clinic which is
open to residents of the area
every Tuesday night from 7:30 to
9:30 p.m. There is no charge for
the services.
The clinic has the approval of
the Fulton County Health
department and the cooperation
of the Rockdale Health Center.
Sister Pauline said, “The mothers
appreciate it more than anything
else. We have provided
innoculations for their children,
emergency care and minor
check-ups. A woman brought in
her 8-month-old daughter who
couldn’t walk. We were able to
refer her to a clinic where she
could get help.”
Teen-age aides who assisted
the staff this summer were
trained to keep records, arrange
referrals and take temperatures.
Rene Jackson, an Archer high
school student said, “I think it’s
been good to help out here. I
want to be a nurse when I grow
up.”
“In everything they said, our
neighbors were so warmhearted
and genuine. We had kids in the
apartment all the time. One girl
invited us to go to church with

her, and we did,” said Sister
Joan.
The nuns have left for their
new assignments, but the
apartment will have a new
resident. Father Richard Leary,
C.P., said, “I intend to move in
and take over where they started.
We need an anchor post in the
neighborhood. We hope to use
the clinic apartment for remedial
and art programs and need more
volunteer workers.”

Of Violen ce
WINONA, Minn. (RNS) -
Roman Catholics have too long
“tended to equate peace-making
with order-keeping,” delegates to
an area convention of the
Christian Family Movement were
told at St. Mary’s College here.
Mary Perkins Ryan, an
author, said that “peace” in the
Bible’s usage “means not simply
the absence of disorder and
violence, but the positive
achievement of full human living
in community.”
Too many Catholics think, she
said, that the most important
virtue to teach children is
obedience.
by St. Paul of the Cross parish,
the priest said. “We are just
getting to know the people and
their problems and they are just
getting to know us. There is an
awful aching for God here, and it
is our prayer that by our presence:
and work, their human condition
may be relieved and their hope
ignited.”

was recently named pastor of St.

In an age when undue emphasis is placed on money and influence, it is refreshing to find
a person who still believes in the “old” morality; in conscientious dedication to the job;
and who puts pride of accomplishment above financial gain or partisan politics. This person
is seldom found in public office. A notable exception is Tom Palmer. He not only means well,
he does well. Because he believes in and is capable of complete dedication, his record of
service is extremely impressive.
ZONING: Tom Palmer achieved planned growth of DeKalb County through zoning legislation. He
has worked to protect the home owner against spot-zoning, while providing for the continuing
development of a prosperous DeKalb. EDUCATION: Tom Palmer realizes the tremendous im
portance of quality education for all Georgia's youth. He promoted a Bill to require an adequate
education for exceptional children—the gifted as well as the retarded. He favors and has worked
toward a State sponsored kindergarten program for pre-schoolers. He supported the School Bond
Referendum, believing it mandatory for the continuing superior education in our district. TRAFFIC
CONTROL: Tom Palmer was among the first to foresee the now intolerable traffic problems facing
Atlanta. To bridge the interim of thirteen years between now and when Rapid Transit becomes a
reality in our area, he suggests the common sense solution of accelerated bus service and full
use of existing railway facilities, particularly in the Brookhaven—Chamblee—Doraville area. Tom
Palmer successfully worked for the extension of Peachtree Industrial Boulevard to reduce the traffic
problems on the Buford Highway. TAXES: Where tax money is concerned, Tom Palmer is a tight
wad. His insistance on fiscal responsibility has become his trademark. He is presently looking
toward a broad and complete revision of Georgia's tax structure which would insure fair distribution
of the tax burden, as well as the tax revenue. YOUTH: Tom Palmer works with young people in
civic and church organizations and is attuned to their needs. While opposed to censorship, he-
deplores the damaging effect of hard-core pornography on our impressionable young people. He
proposes a law to protect those 16 years or under from exposure to this material, rampantly
available on our news stands and in bookstores. He is working to secure adequate recreational
needs for all of DeKalb's youth and to promote their safety and welfare through driver training.
ETHICS IN GOVERNMENT: Tom Palmer will introduce a bill to restore the confidence of the people
in their state government: a Code of Ethics for the Georgia General Assembly.
A member of the House of Representatives for 9 years, Tom Palmer has served under Governors
Griffin, Vandiver, Sanders and Maddox. He has responded to the people when vital issues were at
hand. A man of action, he provides round the clock representation. Considering his office a privilege,
he serves tirelessly as your representative.
