Rev. Marcus Reed Writes
From Israel
Below is a letter received from
Rev. Marcus Reed, Missionary to
Israel and former pastor of the
First Baptist Church, Cumming.
Dear Friends:
Last December we were ap
pointed by the Foreign Mission
Board of the Southern Baptist
Convention to work in Israel. We
sailed from New York on March
15, 1961, and arrived in Israel on
March 29. Our first home in Israel
was at the Baptist Farm, near
Petaeh Tikva. The Farm includes
a home for 19 Arab orphans, a
boarding school for Arab and Jew
ish children, and a church. It also
serves as a summer camp for
young people.
After our arrival in Israel,
Carolyn and Charles enrolled in
the Amerian Embassy School near
Tel Aviv; Joyce enrolled in a Jew
ish kindergarten, and Ruth and I
enrolled in language school in Na
tanya. Later we moved to Na
tanya, and now, during the sum
mer, ail of us (except Joyce) are
studing in the Hebrew Language
school.
This Fall, Charles and Joyce
will attend public school in Na
tanya, and Carolyn will either
attend the American Embassy
School, or else live at the Baptist
Farm and attend school there
where some of the classes are
in English.
Every Saturday (the Jewish Sab
bath) we go to the Baptist Farm
for worship servies. There are
several Jewish families who attend,
along with those who live at the
Farm. Usually there are about
50 people in the congregation.
Often there are tourists in the
services. The preaching is in Eng
lish one Saturday, and in Hebrew
the next. I preach occasionally
(only in English at present), and
Ruth teaches a class.
We have been sight seeing in
Jerusalem. Nazareth, around the
Sea of Galilee, and other places.
Israel is a very interesting coun
try, and we like it here very much.
We have all the necessary modern
conveniences and a comfortable
home.
We now have 7 Baptist couples
working in Israel, plus one couple
on furlough. We have couples in
Jerusalem, Petaeh Tikva, Natanya,
Nazareth, and Tiberias. Also, an
other couple, Mr. and Mrs. Loo
Rivins, of Atlanta, Ga., were ap
pointed in July for agricultural
work in Israel. We are looking
forward to their arrival within
the next few months.
We will probably live in Na
tanya until we finish our language
study next Spring. We are not
sure where we will live after that.
We are very busy, but we will
write when we can. Please write
to us (the best way is to use air
mail folders whih can be purchas
ed at the Post Office for 10c),
and pray for us as we prepare to
work for Christ in the Land where
He once lived and worked.
Sincerely,
Marcus, Ruth, Carolyn and
Joyce Reed.

Peace Officers Set For
Biggest Convention
(GPS) The stage is set for what
promises to be the biggest and
perhaps most politically significant
convention ever held by the Peace
Officers Assocication of Georgia.
It’s the POAG’s 61st annual state
convention scheduled September 26-
27 at Jekyll Island.
“We’re expecting some 2.000 reg
istrations,” said State Patrol Capt.
E. D. Mink, the association’s sec
retary-treasurer. “Based on ad
vance registrations, every county
and virtually every city and town
in Georgia will be represented.”
That politics will be the piece de
resistance cf the two-day session
there appears little doubt. Numer
ous public officeholders and un
official 1962 candidates are on the
speaking program. But Capt. Mink
makes it clear that the selection of
the speakers and the time allotted
f o them was the decision of a 32-
member convention committee.
Here’s the lineup of speakers:
Peter Zack Geer, executive secre
tary to Gov. Ernest Vandiver,
will deliver the opening conven
tion address, pinch-hitting for the
Governor who has a conflicting
date with the Southern Governor’s
Conference; Lt. Gov. Garland T.
Byrd will make the keynote con
vention address, and U. S. Senator
Herman E. Talmadge will deliver
the banquet address at the closing
session.
Other speakers, in the order
they are listed on the program,
are: State Senator Carl E. Sanders,
who will deliver the welcoming
address (the convention was origi
nally scheduled in his home town
of Augusta); former Gov. Marvin
Griffin, Agriculture Commissioner
Phil Campbell, Atty. Gen. Eugene
Cook, Comptroller Gen. Zack D.
Cravey, Secretary of State Ben.
W. Fortson, Jr., James L. Bentley,
Jr., Denmark Groover, Baldwin
County Rep. Culver Kidd and
Brooks County Rep. John E. Shei
field, Jr.
Politics also is expected to be hot
within the POAG itself. Reason:
Three members already have indi
cated they will be candidates for
the office of president, now held
by Macon Police Chief L. B.
McCailum. The potential candidates
are Fort Valley Police Chief Grady
W. Cochran, Richmond County
Sheriff James T. Plunkett and
Savannah Police Chief Sidney
Barnes.

Veterans Know Value Of
Civil Defense
Georgia veterans should take
the lead in promoting family civil
defense preparations, Georgia Vet
erans Service Director Pete Wheel
er says.
As former servicemen who have
seen the ravages of war firsthand,
Wheeler states, the veterans are
best aware of how important fami
ly shelters, food and water storage,
and other preparations can be.
Many civilians who have never
really seen war simply cannot be
lieve (hat such a disaster can occur
here, he continued. Veterans who
have undergone bombing and
shelling, however, understand that
the boundries of a war can no
longer be predicted.
Wheeler is speaking to veterans’
organizations and civic clubs
throughout the state on the threat
of Communism to the security
of the United States both inter
nally and internationally.
ing officers, which is unique a
mong trade and professional as
sociations, there may be others
seeking the top post. The associa
tion has no nominating committee.
All nominations are made from
the floor and a “free election” en
sues.
Things get pretty hot at times
and on occasions the peace officers’
session is not a great deal unlike
a political party convention, accord
ing to thosse who have witnessed
it in action. And judging from
present indications the upcoming
POAG meeting will be no excep
tion.
