Jump-A-Thon
.11 year old Kayce Williams of Cumming, 1980 Georgia Heart
Fund Princess, practices for Jump Rope-a-Thon for Heart, a
new special event being launched nationwide to benefit the
American Heart Association. The target date is Saturday,
March 22 in 4,000 schools in Georgia and 39 other states.
Teams of students, supervised by their physical education
teachers, will jump rope for a maximum of three hours per
team to earn pledges from family and friends for the fight
against heart disease. T shirts and warm up suits will be
awarded to the individuals and teams that raise the most
money. The students will be “getting the jump” on heart
disease while learning the value of regular exercise and
teamwork.

No Salvation In War
Dear Editor:
A good Baptist brother
continues to elaborate upon
the great need for war
preparation. He says that
the Russians are a dire
threat to our freedom. I just
can’t imagine a servant of
Jesus with a philosophy that
amounts to salvation in war.
There may come a time
when Russia or some other
power presents a clear,
direct threat to our country.
That time is not now
; anymore than it was in 1950
; (Korea) or in the early 1960’s
•(Vietnam). Ask these two
•peoples about their freedom.
We didn’t respect the
freedoms of these peoples
anymore than the Russians
respect the freedom of the
Afghanistans. Does the good
minister feel some concern
for those we have wronged?
Who are God’s children
anyway? Perhaps this ex
plains why Christian
America meets so much fear
and hatred around the world.
The problem begins at
home. The enemy is us! We
have more weapons than we
need. The killing has been
sufficient - ours and others.
No Help For Funeral
Dear Editor:
I would like to comment on
the Forsyth County Sheriff’s
Department. They were
always here to carry my son
to jail, but when he died, we
had to beg to get someone
out here to direct traffic to
get us out in the road to go to
the church and escort Bob
by’s body.
Bobby Jones was like
every other citizen in For
syth County. He deserved
what anyone else deserved,
not like he was treated. They
picked on him while he was
alive and now that he is
dead, they still won’t let him
rest.
They are still writing lies.
Out of all the former sheriffs
and deputies and all the pre
sent sheriff and deputies, on
ly one, Dorsey Rogers, came
to show their respects. I
Soldiers
Sought
Dear Editor:
Thanks for publishing my
letter last week. I have
discovered two more World
War I soliders drafted from
Forsyth County who are still
in life. These are Fred
Driskell and Worley
Samples, making a total of
five still living who went
from Forsyth County. There
are two others living in the
county who moved here from
elsewhere, they are: Hosea
T. Alford born Feb. 14, 1899,
and James C. Harrington,
bom July 9, 1900. If anyone
knows of another World War
I solider living in Forsyth
County, please call 887-5388.
As a result of last weeks
letter several families are
now working on their family
history.
GARLAND C. BAGLEY
Our freedom is threatened
by inflation, a wasteful way
of life, crime, etc. We are
crumbling within! The Rus
sians did not make us depen
dent upon oil. We did that to
ourselves. In Asia one unit of
food energy can be produced
with about two units of non
human energy. In America it
takes about 30 units (mostly
fossil fuel) on non-human
energy to produce the same.
This while millions of
Americans are unemployed,
under-employed or on
welfare. Russia can’t be
blamed for this. We did this
to ourselves. Ah, my good
Baptist minister here is
where the cowardice lies. It
lies in the political and
religous leadership of
America. It is not in our
young men. They will fight
for worthy goals. They, most
of them, have not yet learned
the “fine art” of looking the
other way.
Mark Twain once said that
war was a primitive, pitiful
thing until the Christians
came along with gun powder
and really developed the art
of killing. He is right. Think
of the wars of the past 100
guess the others couldn’t
stand to look at him because
of what they had done to

Seven Win
Olympics
Forsyth County High
School Vocational Industrial
Club of America (VICA)
came away with seven first
place and four second place
winners at the area skill
Olympics held in White Coun
ty recently.
First place winners will
advance to district competi
tion at Pickens Tech on
March 20. The first place
winners and the field they
won in are as follows:
Harold Rowland, Extem
poraneous Speaking; Matt
Williams, Prepared Speech;
Lee Cravey, Architectural
Drafting; Mike Pruitt,
Carpentry; Stanley Hicks,
Welding; Dale Rickert,
Electrical Trades; and San
dy Martin, Machine Draf
ting.
Second place winners
were: Sharon Tate and Hope
Ellis in Cosmetology; Shon
Thomas, Job Interview;
David Tate, Auto
Mechanics; and Thomas
Sheriff, Small Engines.
The VICA Skill Olympics
are held every school year to
give Trade and Industrial
students an opportunity to
compete against other
schools in their respective
areas.
years. The two great wars (I
and II) were largely between
Christians. Even Russia was
Christian during World War
I. What is there in Christian
civilization that causes so
much hatred? Has there
been any moral progress
since Christians have
dominated the earth? How
could Hitler begin his rise to
power in a free election at a
time when Germany had
more Christian churches per
capita than any other nation
on earth? What is there
about Christianity that lends
itself to evil? These are
humbling questions.
For those seeking refuge
from the doctrinaire, stri
dent, salvation-in-weaponry
Christianity so popular to
day, I would suggest reading
Tolstoy’s, “The Kingdom of
God is Within You,” and the
great musician-missionary
medical doctor Albert
Schweitzer’s, “Quest of the
Historical Jesus.” Here one
might begin to understand
how a great value (Jesus’s
teachings) is alienated from
those who profess it.
