The FOC takes part in the
Lanier Junior Miss Pageant to
be held this Saturday, as they
will lead off the colorful parade
in downtown Cumming at 2 p.m.
Hope to see lots of you there,
enjoying the music, pretty girls,
etc. To see this Band in these
uniforms is quite somethingl
You should be proud If you had
a part in their purchasel If
you didn't, we11....we are hav
ing to order at least 7 for next
year, so see Amon Corn and
get in on a good thing! Any
amount is appreciated by a lot
of folks! And each whole uni
form donated bears the donor's
name, forevermore, on a label.
Just think where your name and
donation might travel with this
group!
The Red Peppers will per
form just prior to curtain-time
at the Pageant, and during in
termission. So, with concert
rehearsal , too, the Big Kids are
really busy.
We just MUST add, proudly,
that five of the ten Junior Miss
contestants are FOC members!
They should have a rather loud
cheering section of their own!
The Bandroom is throbbing
with the beat of not one, but
TWO drum sets, as the FOC
goes into high this week in pre
paration for "1969: A Musi
cal Odyssey" to be presented
Friday night, April 25.
Yes, Mr. T. and his kids have
come up with some special ar
rangements again this year to
add their own particular brand
of excitement to what, in oth
er places, might be an ordi
nary spring band concert!
There'll be enough variety on
this concert program of theirs
to appease any musical appe
tite, I assure you! When Mr.
T. and the FOC plan a concert,
the first consideration is the
entertainment of you, the au
dience.
This is our Big Show! This
is, we hope, proof to you that
this Band Program is well worth
your time, energy, and support.
The Little Kids from the Be
ginner, or Sparkler, Band and
he Red Flame (Intermediate)
Band will be included on the
program. The beginners have
been playing a very short while,
ind though the Red Flames have
pome quite a distance since they
pccupied those beginner chairs
ast Spring, they still have far
:o go to fill the chairs they will
sit in this Fall as FOC mem
bers! It is always amazing,
imusing, and educational to ac
tually hear for yourself the dif
erent levels of progress in
/olved in Forsyth County’s Band
Program. Spring Concert is
he one and only chance for you
o judge for yourself how it is
going, and hear and see the re
sults of time, effort, and mon

TERROR IN THE

Flash Of
Crimson
BY JOYCE TURNER
A lot of hard work is going
on in that Bandroom this week,
by all three bands, and has been
going on for some time now.
If I added up the man-hours
put into the concert by Mr. T.,
the kids (private practice in ad
dition to group rehearsals, you
know), parents who transport
the kids, time spent on publi
city, etc., it would be a stag
gering total!
What does all this prove? It
simply means we want to give
you an outstanding concert, to
let you know we appreciate the
interest and support you have
shown. Won’t you be with us
Cloverleaf 4-H’ers
At ‘ District Meeting
With emphasis on the need for
regular checkups for cancer,
the American Cancer Society
has prepared the ground for
launching its annual education
and fund-raising Crusade dur
ing the month of April.
Once again, April has been
set aside as Cancer Control
Month by Congress and the
President will proclaim the pe
riod officially Cancer Control
Month.
The 1969 Crusade will stress
the point that too many people
are careless or forgetful of the
necessity for regular checkups
as a way to discover the onset
of cancer at an early opportu
nity. Most cancers can be cured
and lives saved, by detecting
cancer before it has had a
chance to spread.
Much of the preparation for
this year’s Crusade will be cen
tered on training volunteers to
assist them to explain to the
public how regular physical
checkups can help save lives.
While the public is steadily
acquiring knowledge of cancer’s
warning signals, a recent Can
cer Society survey showed that
57% of the public did not go
regularly for a physical check
up which included a cancer
test. Of those who went, the
survey showed that three times
as many women were interested
enough in their health to have
regular physical examinations
compared to the males. The
figures proved to be around 40%
of the women against 13% of the
men.
Is it any wonder that more
men than women have died from
cancer each year since 1949?
Last year, the ratio was about
55 men to 45 women. Think
of the thousands of lives that
would have been saved had
these males undergone physi
cal checkups in time!
The nagging wife might save
your life. For, the American
Cancer Society survey clearly
shows that someone wife,
mother, sister, girl-friend—
has got to wheedle the male in
her life into visiting his doc
tor at least once a year. It
may take a lot of persistence,
but it could guarantee he’ll be

Plans for the 1969 Crusade
Include nationwide distribution
of 45,000,000 leaflets urging the
reader to go for regular check
ups. It is hoped that every
family in Forsyth County will
receive this leaflet, most of
which will be distributed in per
son by Cancer Society Volun
teer Workers during the April
Crusade.
The 1969 April Crusade has
the slogan, "Help yourself with
a checkup and others with a
check."

DIXIE DISCOUNT
The Forsyth County News
Cumming, Georgia
Dear Sir:
The family of the late Mr. Holbert Jett, former owner
of the Dixie Discount Store, would like to correct an ad
vertisement printed in last week’s paper. The Dixie Dis
count Store was sold on AprU 1, 1969. We, the famUy of
the late owner, want to make it clear that it is no longer
Jett’s Dixie Discount Store. Also the current liquidation
sale is connected in no way with Mr. Jett’s estate. The
store is now owned and operated totaUy by the new own
ers. Mr. Jett’s estate was setUed long ago.
We appreciated your business and friendship whUe we
operated Dixie Discount, and it is for this purpose that we
are printing this correction today.
Again, the famUy of Holbert Jett, former owner of Dix
ie Discount, is no longer associated with the store in any
way. The mistake was not a fault of the newspaper.
Sincerely,
The Family of Holbert Jett
Chestatee 4-H Cloverleaf Club.
Miss Edith Pierce is their 4-H
Club School Leader.
