AN EXPERIMENT OF FAITH
AT FIRST BAPTIST
LAY RENEWAL WEEK-END
WHAT IS IT?
It is a weekend in which the local church members meet in
small groups to experience real fellowship through caring and
and sharing love one to another. The Lay Renewal Weekend
focuses on deep, full, complete commitment of self to Christ.
The term “total commitment” (committing as much of myself as I
know to as much of Christ as I understand) is used often. It is a
weekend experience of renewal for the local church.
The Lay Renewal Weekend is sponsored by the Home Mission
Board and will be led by a team of Laymen - -men, women, and'
youth - - who come at their own expense to share their witness.

CORDELE, Ga. (UPI) — A
$1.75 million lawsuit has been
filed against a liquor store oper
ator by the mother of a teen
ager killed when an anti-burg
lar device in a soft drink
machine exploded and killed
her son.
Mrs. Ella Christine McKinsey
of Vienna filed the suit Thurs
day against A.C. Wade, owner
of the A&B Package Store,
where her son was killed early
Aug. 23.
She alleges in her suit that
Wade rigged his soft drink
machine with a blasting cap be
cause thieves had broken into
the coin box several times.
Robert Joel McKinsey, 16,
was killed when a piece of the
machine sliced through an ar
tery in his leg. Another youth,
who allegedly told police he and
the McKinsey boy were break
ing into the machine, received
superficial cuts in the blast.
In another suit filed in Crisp
County Superior Court, the fam
ily of 3-year-old girl seeks

Giles determined
he’ll walk again
Policeman Ben Giles who is
recovering from injuries in a
motorcycle accident is deter
mined to walk again without
crutches.
He said doctors are optimistic
that he can do it.
He already is able to put some
weight on his legs and thinks he
will be doing better as the days
pass.
A fellow policeman plans to
get a crutch and help Giles
learn to get about on that for the
time being.
Giles still has to rely mostly
on his wheelchair now but
eventually he says he won’t
need it or a crutch.
He is scheduled for more
surgery in about six months.
Doctors at Emory University
Hospital in Atlanta will put an
artificial knee cap in his left leg.
Both legs are coming along
nicely, Giles commented.
He said his right arm from his
elbow to his fingers is
paralyzed. Doctors say there’s
not much else they can do about
that now.
“I’ve had the best nurse in the
world, my wife Cheryl,” Giles
said. "She’s been just won
derful.”

child’s death in a car-train ac
cident June 28.
Mrs. Jeanne Bartee filed a $1
million suit for the death of her
daughter, plus $25,000 for her
own mental and physical suf
fering.
Her husband, Walter, sought
$10,323.63 for medical and fun
eral expenses, replacement of
his stationwagon, loss of a
month’s salary for work he
missed, and loss of his wife and
son’s companionship.
Roger Bartee, the couple’s
14-year-old son, sought SIO,OOO
for his mental and physical
anguish.
The family contends the rail
road and engineer W.E. March,
who was named as a co-defend
ant in the suit, were negligent
in operating the train at an
"imprudent, excessive and dan
gerous speed” through an un
marked crossing, without a
flagman, lights or other warning
to motorists.
The little girl was killed when
the stationwagon, driven by
Mrs. Bartee with her daughter
and son as passengers, was hit
by the four-car train.
Giles was injured in an off
duty motorcycle accident on the
North Expressway May 13.

Cleared
after
42 years
HOUSTON (UPI) - Chester
A. Clements finally has been
cleared on a charge of
possessing liquor illegally. It
took him 42 years.
U.S. District Court Judge
Carl O. Bue set aside Friday a
probated sentence and fine
assessed Clements during
Prohibition. Clements, 69, sued
to clear his name alleging that
he pleaded guilty to the charge
without benefit of legal counsel.
Clements said he began his
fight 10 years ago. He filed suit
in federal court last year after
an unsuccessful attempt to
obtain a presidential pardon in
1972.
Clements said he wanted his
record cleared to restore his
civil rights and enable him to
obtain part-time work as a
security guard to supplement
his retirement income.
He was assessed a five-year
probated term in lieu of a SIOO
fine in 1932. The charges were
brought after agents found five
pints of whisky near a
downtown hamburger stand
where Clements was employed.
Foreign garbage crackdown
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
Agriculture Department will
crack down on foreign garbage.
Spokesmen announced today
the adoption of new and
strengthened regulations cover
ing the handling and disposal of
garbage aboard planes and
ships arriving from foreign
countries.
> James T. Lynn, secretary of
Housing and Urban Develop
i ment, will head the conference,
one of only two of the dozen
, meetings being held in the South,
i Ford will not be attending the
■ Atlanta meeting.
The delegates to the pre-sum
. mit will sit around a huge
horseshoe - shaped table at
[ Stouffer’s Atlanta Inn for eight
hours and will be expected to
come up with a report isolating
, the building industry’s major
problems.

HIGHGATE SPRINGS, VT.—A front row seat to a general alarm fire is enjoyed by this
spectator as he watches Tyler Place Inn go up in flames. The main building, built in 1834,
served as a stagecoach Inn. (UPI)
They said regulations previ
ously in effect were too lax to
protect against the introduction
of foreign plant and animal
pests and diseases.
But, since the new rules
require use of new garbage
handling equipment in many
I cases, the Agriculture Depart
-1 ment said the regulations would
not take effect for 12 months.
