Kids Blow Mighty Cool Trumpets
THE BAND BOX
By JOYCETURNER
I won’t say it was cold last
Friday night, but I had to wait
three days to write this
column till my fingers
thawed out! As I stood on the
edge of the football field,
taping the post-game concert,
I looked around me at the
loyal crowd gathered to soak
up the last such concert of the
year. Blankets, caps, scarves,
gloves, coats, boots kept them
warm, but greater warmth
came from the smiles on their
faces as they enjoyed the
music of the F.0.C., really
pouring it on!
I couldn’t help but ask
myself why in the world
would a bunch of kids want to
stand out here in this cold
weather putting everything
they had into those horns and
various other type in
struments, making those of us
Women First Need to Respect Themselves
By ELEANOR B.
RODGERSON, M.D.
Copley News Service
Q. Women activists say they
do not get the respect and ap
preciation due them. Isn’t this
because women in general
don’t have respect and appre
ciation for themselves?
Hospital Personnel
Finish Food Course
The kitchen personnel at
Forsyth County Hospital have
just completed a food service
worker course taught at the
hospital through Judy Ford
Stokes, Inc., Dietary Con
sultants from Atlanta.
Mrs. Daisy Martin, dietary
supervisor and her kitchen
staff will receive their
diplomas from this course at 2
p.m. Monday at the Forsyth
County Hospital Cafeteria.
Louis Markham, hospital
administrator, states that
Forsyth is the third or fourth
hospital in Georgia to
graduate their staff from this
course.
The one-year course, which
covered all facets of food

who stood and listened forget
everything but the sound of
their music. Thereby I an
swered my own question!
They had an audience! That’s
just part of it, though. You
had only to watch them to
know that they were also
doing it for the pleasre it gave
them. They make quite a
team, the F.O.C. and Mr. T.,
and there’s no pride and
pleasure quite like that which
is earned.
The F.O.C. finished up the
season in fine style Friday
night, meeting our favorite
“rival”, the Band of Warriors
from Cherokee. Those who
braved the cold were treated
to some good halftime en
tertainment.
A special thanks goes to a
crew of F.O.C. parents who
assisted in the show Friday
night. Though amateurs, they
did a creditable job of moving
A. I heard a woman county
supervisor say the other day
that, although there were sev
eral other supervisors, all
male, in the county, she was
the one who got the calls about
“the cat in the tree” and the
little things. I remembered,
when I was delivering babies,
it was not unusual to have the
service, began in October,
1972 and was completed with
a review and examination on
October 19.
Through this course,
Markham said they were able
to train local personnel, using
their own equipment.
Personnel were taught to
plan and cook meals much
like the patients would
receive at home. But the
meals, despite the honey
touch, continued to be
balanced and nutritious ac
cording to patient needs.
Markham stated that Mrs.
Martin was able to cut raw
food cost per meal by seven
cents per plate from May 1,
1972 through April 30, 1973.
the four drum-sets onto the
field for the F.O.C.’s finale.
Who knows where this might
lead their name in lights?!
Well, in our book they’re
already famous, and much
appreciated!
While I’m heaping posies,
I’d like to personally com
mend the four drummers,
Matt Songer, Walter Rucker,
Tim Howard and Ken
Thornton, and the F.O.C. for
giving us a rousing end to a
good season. Also a pat on the
back to Melody Mizer, Donna
Smith, Rhonda Wallace, Lois
Neisler, Lynn Martin, Deloris
Andrews and Pam Cobb (our
Flashes twirling corps) and to
all the kids in the F.O.C. and
the Cherokee Band for a job
well done in the cold. If you
think it is easy to hold onto
drum sticks, batons, in
struments (and play those
intruments!) in that tern
telephone ring in the middle of
the night with a call from
some patient I had referred
for an ailment not obstetrical.
She would say, “Doctor, I
don’t want to disturb Dr. So
and-so at this hour. Can you
please tell me what I ought to
do about ?” I remem
bered it was not uncommon
for a patient to come into the
office expecting that I, being a
woman obstetrician, would
have more sympathy, be less
hurried than a male special
ist, and cheaper.
We women are flattered,
nevertheless. We ougljt not to
be. Women don’t seem to
complain to men as readily as
they do to other women. They
don’t support other women for
elective offices, either, if
there are men running. They
even think it cute, now and
then, to elect a man to head a

We appreciate all of you who
were in the stands, too,
clapping gloved hands to let
the kids know you enjoyed the
show.
So, it ends for another year.
No more rushing each week to
prepare a show, and hoping
rehearsals won’t get rained
out. No more hectic scram
bling to get it all together and
get on the bus for out-of-town
games. No more trying to find
restrooms that elude you at
strange schools; wondering if
the field will be wet or lumpy;
asking short kids to climb
under bleachers to retrieve
lyres, music, hats, plumes,
short skinny band members!

It is a unique experience.
After thirteen consecutive
seasons I can still say that!
No two shows, no two bands
exactly the same. Only the
thrill, the excitement, the
pride is unchanged.
And now the musicians!
No Mr. T. will begin the more
serious task of teaching
music, F.O.C. style! This
means that our concert
season, too, is unique. Any of
