‘Careful Man’
Poem Penned
By Mr. Nix
By A.E. Nix
A careful man I want to be:
A little fellow follows me;
I do not dare to go astray;
For fear he’ll go the self-same
way;
I cannot once escape his eyes;
What e’re he sees me do, he tries
Like me, he says he’s going to
be—
This little chap who follows me;
I must remember as I go;
Through summer sun or winter
snow;
I’m building for the years to be;
That little chap who follows me.
You are some child’s only pic
ture of God. He sees God’s love,
kindness and mercy in you or
he shall not see them at all.
I pray that we might be faith
ful to these little ones and to
Him.
We can teach our children by
example and precept. Teaching
them to shun the things of the
world which would be harmful
both plysically and mentally to
their young bodies is the thought
gained from First Cor. 3:16 and
17. -A.E. Nix.

JUDGE JOSEPH E. CHEELEY
in 1958. when he became Judge
White’s successor as judge of the
City Court of Gwinnett. He was
re-elected to the judgeship with
out opposition in 1963.
A veteran of the Korean Con
flict, Judge Cheeley served 22
months in the military and was
assistant judge advocate in the
Fifth Air Force. He received the
Bronze Star metal and a presi
dential citation. He has served
as chairman of a number of
county-wide fund-raising drives
and also has served on the budg
et committee of the United Fund.
Regarding current legislative
issues, Judge Cheeley comment
ed as follows:
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT - “I
Error Contained
In Furniture Ad
An error was made in Corn’s
Furniture Store ad which appear
ed in last week's edition of The
Forsyth County News. The ad
read that a three-piece bedroom
suite or a two-piece living room
suite would be given away by
Corn Furniture on Saturday,
Feb. 8 The date should have
been Feb. 29. The Forsyth Coun
ty News apologizes for the mis
take.

don’t believe it is right to take
a human life. What we need is
the power to sentence so that
in the case of the more hein
ous crimes the criminals can
never be paroled.” He added
that it is doubtful that the death
penalty will be repealed this ses
sion. “It’s a perennial bill,” he
said, “but it stands a better
chance of passage this lime than
ever before.”
EDUCATION - “I think that
any step towards improved edu
cation is good but you don't
make better teachers merely by
paying them more money.
“I think there’s a need to start
with the University system . . .
and pay should be based on
merit rather than seniority. I
think there are many teachers
who are underpaid but, on the
other hand, I think many are
overpaid.”
Perhaps his main interest, he
said, is penal reform. He was
one of the early backers of the
probation system.
The judge, who disposed of ap
proximately 500 cases during
four days of Gwinnett City Court
recently, said about 50 were giv
en probationary sentences “I
don't think anyone should have
•to go to prison simply because
he can't afford to pay a fine,"
he added.
