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.

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. TEN CENTS 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 He added that it is doubtful that the death penalty will be repealed this ses sion.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.
