Youth And Age America has been a youth oriented nation for the last half generation, but with the sharpely declining birth rate, we are going to experi ence a much longer period of time as a nation of older peo ple. Normally, much care and attention are given to chil dren and youth as, deep in side, man realizes he must prepare them to take over and carry on civilization. But how a people treat their older citizens whose major productive years are gone is a telling commentary on the strength and goodness of that people. We owe a great debt to many of our older folks who have worked hard and long to produce a great nation and who have given many of I Wf ©MXi© Facing Each Day In Psalms 118:24 the writer tells us “this is the day that the Lord has made, Let us rejoice and be glad in it.” How.do you face each new day? Do you face it with joy, with the promise of a day to be happy or a day to be filled with misery and contempt? In a Peanuts comic strip, Charlie Brown notices that Lucy seems to be in one of her usual bad moods. He draws attention to her “crabby face” and she re plies, “I like my crabbv face. I’m proud of my crabby face. Remember, the crabby-faced little girls of today will be the crabby faced women of tomorrow!” And you know, I think she’s not far from the truth. Plays For Living Mark and Marilyn argue over their son who was injured in a skateboard accident in the play “Divide and Multiply” at Ot well Middle School Nov. 13.

Older people are often left out of our thinking and activ ities until one day when sud denly our mortality dawns on us. I don’t feel any older or different now than I did when I was 19. But now I’m more than twice that age and realize that the number of years ahead of me is in all probability less than those behind me. As we approach Thanks giving we. would do well to truly thank God for those who have gone before us and solved so many problems in advance of us. They paid a price. So must we. r* I’ve discovered the reason the picutres on our drivers’ licenses look so bad. First of all, when it’s taken after your test, a state trooper takes it and it’s sort of hard to be happy when a state trooper takes your picture. Secondly, it is probably is due to the fact that if the oc casion arises and we are stopped by the state police, the picture on our driver’s li cense will match our mood at that time. So the whole point is, how do we face each new day? How will you let the various circumstances influence you? When you meet some one on the street or a place of business, does their “crabby mood” influence you or does your mood of gladness have the influence? The supper is at 6 p.m. with the service following at 7 p.m. ;; Featured singers will be the Liberty Singers from Cumming. Baptists Pi<f|§ New Leader tV: • W.
