Eat, eat, eat. It's the favorite American pastime.
It's one of the reasons 15 million of us are overweight.
Prime candidates for heart attack, stroke, diabetes, and a host
of other slaughterers.
It's also one of the reasons Americans have to spend so
much money learning about these, killers. And trying to repair
the damage they do.
Preventive health care could help keep t
those costs down by keeping us healthier. jl

Let’s pretend. You’re the
director. It’s opening night to
an old play with a new twist.
You nervously wonder
whether the players will
respond to your variations,
your new method as they did
in rehearsal. And will the
audience cooperate and
participate as they have
before. The ambitious sweat
and proverbial nuances pour
out of you and those around
you to keep the enthusiasm
at a fever pitch. And now it’s
ready to be unveiled.
What does this have to do
with Religious Education?
Nothing and everything. But
if you had looked in on the
plans, the programs of Corpus
Christi Church in Stone
Mountain implemented on
September 3, your
anticipation might resemble
such an opening night
syndrome.
Our director, or directors,
take the form of Sister Rose
Huber, the dynamic glue in
the program, who has worked
hard and long enticing
volunteers and establishing
new lines of responsibility
and communication in the
Elementary School Program;
and Sister Delores Staudt, the
quiet tenacious unretiring
one, in charge of the High
School Program. Together
their ambitious program is
asking both teachers and
parents to share the
educational load. And there is
what makes the program
different for one full month
has been set aside to
accomplish this sharing
before teaching sessions are
initiated in October.
Sponsored by the Adult
Education Committee of
Corpus Christi Church, the
preliminary planning for the
program began on August 16
when the diocesan team
headed by Father Jim Kelly,
Director of the Religious
Education of the archdiocese,
coordinated with the Corpus
Christi team.
There they established the
final schedule for September,
kicked off by an inspirational
speech by Father Kelly on
September 3. From that
point on that diocesan team
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul provides many services to
Atlanta’s inner-city residents. Among those services is the clinic
set up to render health care to the residents of U Rescue Villa, a
housing project for the low income elderly.
One of two such clinics sponsored by the Society, the U
Rescue facility is under the direction of Margaret Parsons, a
nursing instructor at Emory University. Ms. Parsons and two
other registered nurses volunteer their time on Wednesday
evenings and Thursdays to provide health care to the U Rescue
residents and to follow up on their progress. The nurses also
arrange to have physicians on ^ull as needed.
When asked what made St. Vincent de Paul’s clinic unique
and why she chose to be involved with it Ms. Parsons said, “I
came to work at the St. Vincent de Paul Clinic for several
reasons. The population is underserved. I think nurses can
provide services that perhaps other professionals can’t to this
particular population ... Mainly, it’s very satisfying to be able
to provide the time that these clients need to talk about their
health assessments.
“The Clinic is unique in that it offers such an opportunity
for a personal relationship with the staff in the Clinic. The fact
that the staff is small enough makes it realistic that anyone who
comes to the Clinic a few times can get to know rather well any
of the staff people they see in the Clinic.”
People caring for people. That’s what the work of the St.
Vincent de Paul Society is all about. It shows and it pays off.
The U Rescue Clinic is filled to capacity and then some each
week. Show you care. Be generous October 1 when the Annual
Inner-City Collection of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul is
taken in your parish.
ARCHBISHOP DONNELLAN recently received a
handmade Marriage Encounter candle from the Atlanta
Executive Couple, Chuck and Pat Bianco. The
Archbishop was the principal celebrant at the Mass
held at the Cathedral of Christ the King to mark the
Third Anniversary of Worldwide Marriage Encounter
here in Atlanta. Twelve priests concelebrated the
Anniversary Mass. A reception followed in the Hyland
Center.
de Paul Clinic Cares
will work in concert with the,
Corpus Christi team to
implement the program. No
small task when you consider
we are talking about inspiring
the parents and teachers of
some 1,600 students who are
in turn to be inspired. Of that
total 1,200 will be
elementary and 400 high
school students.
But the Sisters have
prepared themselves well in
setting aside the full month
of September to accomplish
this task.
On the elementary school
level, the first week of
September found teachers
broken up into their various
grades for indoctrination. A
Primary Coordinator, Olga
Meyers, will assist Sister
Huber in giving a Primary
Workshop. And a School of
Religion Minister
Administrator has been
established for each teaching
day of the week to see that
the program is followed as
outlined. This enables the
Sister to help in the teaching
aspect of the program.
During the week of
September 10 to 14, there
will be Parent/Teacher
Orientation. Parents are being
asked to attend these
meetings on the same day
their children would be
normally taught during the
season. They will be informed
of the need to see to it that
their children always have
their educational tools with
them during attendance to
discussing each lesson taught
after completion. An open
forum for parents input will
be available and
enthusiastically sought.
From that point on,
teachers and parents will be
invited to attend Training
Sessions in Theology to help
them better understand
doctrinal guidelines and
reflections.
And so the curtain is
about to rise; the houselights
dim and a hush will fall over
the audience. The critics are
esconsed in the usual front
row seats waiting to be shown
that a volunteer program of
this magnitude can and will
succeed.

years both of the Robinsons
were practicing attorneys.
Hugh, a former FBI Agent,
was sent to Georgia by the
Bureau and both Robinsons
fell in love with the state.
They passed the bar exam
together in 1967 and
Dorothy began a private
practice. Two years later, the
FBI wanted to send Hugh
back to a northern
assignment. With Dorothy in
practice in Marietta, they
decided to remain there and
Hugh resigned from the
Bureau to become an
attorney.
Again, Judge Dorothy’s
wit is illustrated: “I told him
that Cobb County wasn’t big
enough for the two of us to
practice law in, and that he
would have to find work in
Atlanta!”
Away from the
courtrooms, both Judge
Robinsons enjoy leisurely
activities of tennis and sailing.
But their favorite passtime is
taking their two dogs for
long walks around Kennesaw
Mountain.
“We’re surrounded by
animals,” Dorothy says. They
have two Collies, the younger
of which is a “dropout from
obedience school,” the judge
says, but who is a past
prizewinner at shows hosted
by the Collie Club of Georgia.
In addition to the dogs,
three cats are also a part of
the Robinson menagerie. One
cat, “Mrs. Palsgraf,” received
her name from the central
figure in a landmark court
decision.
The case involved a
woman who was standing in a
railroad station when
weighing scales fell and hit
her. The woman, Mrs.
Palsgraf, sued the Long Island
Railroad for damages, but
lost the case.
“I named our cat Mrs.
Palsgraf because she is so
strange. She walks around as
if she expected something to
fall on her at any moment,”
Dorothy explains.
Concerning her work,
Judge Robinson has definite
and outspoken ideas on the
judicial system. She also
admits that she is constantly

learning more about the laws
of the country.
“The law is so vast and the
issues that come up in cases
are so numerous that I am
constantly learning. It’s
amazing the number of cases
that arise in where no
decision has been made on
the incident in the past. This
is called a case of first
impression. The Court has no
guidance other than its own
interpretation of the laws in
that area.”
Judge Robinson has
handled numerous such cases,
and her initial decisions have
been upheld in higher courts.
She hears all types of
misdemeanor cases in Cobb
County, such as battery and
abandonment. She considers
the domestic battery cases
among the saddest of those
coming before her.
“More often than not, the
wife decides to drop the
charges and not prosecute,”
she says. “This is done
primarily for the sake of
reconciliation. Sometimes it
works and sometimes it does
not. In this area, spite type
warrants are often issued in
which a divorce is already
pending and the wife might
think she has a better chance
if her mate has been charged
with a criminal offense. We
handle a lot of cases which I
call the ‘aftermath’ or
‘forerunner’ of divorce
cases.”
She says that it is the
children who suffer in such
matters, explaining that
“children are quick to learn
to play their parents one
against the other and it tears
everyone apart.”
She is in favor of the death
penalty “in certain prescribed
cases” and says, “I do believe
it is a deterrent, regardless of
what statistics show. In
reality, you can get statistics
pro and con on ANY issue.”
Likewise, she is a firm
supporter of the Equal Rights
Amendment and for very
personal reasons.
“My feelings about the
ERA come from my own
experience fresh out of
college with an accounting
degree. I tried to get a job in
New York as an accountant. I
was told that my
qualifications were super but
that the firms to which I
applied simply did not hire
women,” she says.

“Today, fair hiring is the
direct result of the passage of
the ERA by Congress. Only
after that were the laws
passed guaranteeing equal
employment. But regardless
of the ERA, we still have a
free society in which you can
choose to compete or not

On Sundays, Judge
Robinson can be found in
another type of robe - the
choir robe of Holy Family
Church in East Marietta,
where she is also a Lay
Minister of the Eucharist. Her
devoted Church involvement
was recognized by
Archbishop Donnellan in May
of last year when she was
honored as one of the
outstanding Catholic women
of the archdiocese.
This Catholic judge prides
herself on fair and impartial
decisions and maintains a
“completely open” policy in
the courtroom, to which all
are invited to visit and watch
Her Honor in action.
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS Council 660 have

for repairs to the Church. Louis Young (left), Grand

program chairman, and Father Thomas Roshetto,
assistant pastor at Sacred Heart and Chaplain of
Council 660, were on hand for the recent presentation.

It’s a sad fact: most great restaurants are stuffy.
Sorre are downright pretentious. (If you’re
out with friends and you laugh too loudly,
people actually turn and stare. That’s
no fun.) Happily, there’s a great
restaurant nearby that’s unlike other
great restaurants. The name is The
Steeplechase. And what makes The
Steeplechase different is that it’s
unashamedly unstuffy and unpre
tentious. Yet you enjoy the finest
American cuisine, impeccably
served. And you enjoy a de
lightfully relaxed, happy
evening. (Compare that with
the uncomfortable, stuffy
hush you encounter at
most international
restaurants.)
