The editorial claimed that the real issue with ABC is not im proving America: it is money. If television knuckles under pressure on the program, then others would come out bland, the way much of it was when sponsors controlled the programs, the editorial quoted Richard A. R. Pinkham, vice president of an advertising agency. “If television knuckles under to these minority pressures, it will sink deeper and deeper into the quagmire of mediocrity,” the editorial quoted Pinkham as saying. The Maryland Baptist editorial concluded: “Did you really mean to say that, Mr. Pinkham? Those complaining are hardly minority groups, and are you admitting that television is already in the ‘quagmire of mediocrity?” Many of us feel it is; thank you for making a slip and confirming what we think! “The essence of the situation in trying to clean up television is this: Stop arguing with the networks. Hit the sponsors. That’s effective.” level, we will have additional vocational offerings which we presently are unable to provide because of inadequate space thus providing educational experiences which are unavailable at the present time. Our P. E. offerings, presently limited due to lack of space, will be more varied due to an expanded physical education plant. The present Griffin High facility has 2 science labs for approximately 1,200 students and these are outdated and inadequate. The science facilities at the new high school will be modem and provide equipment and work space necessary to insure an effective and diversified science curriculum. Our business education department is inappropriately housed in that these classes meet in regular classrooms and our course offerings are limited. The construction of a new high school would allow us to expand our business Flint River Baptists will meet next week The Flint River Baptist Association with more than 50 churches will have its 154th annual session Monday and Tuesday. The first day’s work will be handled at Teamon Baptist Church beginning at 2:30 p;m. The second day’s session will be held at Mclntosh Baptist Church beginning at 2:30 p.m. Both services will end with messages in the evening around 8:15. Jack Harwell, editor of the Christian Index, the Baptist paper published in Georgia, will report to the convention. Jerrell Pritchett, of the Georgia Baptist Convention will be the inspirational speaker at the evening service on the final night. Schools (Continued from page 1) education offerings which would enable us to provide a better program of study for students who enter the work force upon graduating from high school or who plan to enter a vo-technical school to pursue a special interest in this field. It should be noted that the State Department will provide $565,250 to construct and equip vocational facilities in a new comprehensive high school and present plans call for adding approximately 8 new vocational of ferings once the school is completed. In summary, we should make mention of the fact that modem and well kept facilities attract quality teachers and are conducive to an at mosphere of learning for the students. In the simplest of terms, it means that by constructing these new facilities we will be able to provide additional programs and ample classroom space for the students of Griffin and Spalding County.
