Voice Of The People
How About 12 Week Terms?
To The Editor:
A commentary by Hal
Suite on channel 11 several
weeks ago needs further
comment. It concerned what
children did in the summer
time. He said some of what
they did was good and some
of it was bad. It is time to
agree with him that most
children cannot find enough
to do in the summertime to
keep them busy.
Fortunately, my early
years was spent on a large
farm. Those were the days it
was good to have a large
family. There was always
something for each child to
do and there were lots of jobs
ready for them on a large
farm. Can you believe our
terrible hardships? There
was no radio - and even
worse - there was no TV to
waste our time. The first
automobile in which I rode
didn’t have a top and it had
to be cranked on the side
instead of in front. There
was not even a fast food
place to be found anywhere.
I can hear you saying - those
must have been bad, bad
times.
We created our own kind of
entertainment. The local
school and church were the
centers of entertainment.
The amusements varied
with the season from hay
rides to summer socials.
Now wasn’t that fun?
What I am trying to bring
out is that very few children,
including parents, would
know the least thing about
trying to amuse themselves
without some commercial
type of activity. It has been
documented by theatres that
parents bring their children
to R rated movies while they
go to other places of amuse
ment.
Enough of trying to enter
tain ones’ self, whether it be
a long time ago or now. Let’s
get to the bottom line. Suite
wonders why so many chil
dren get into various kinds of
trouble in the summertime.
To alleviate this condition
isn’t it time we have school

AND THEY ARE OFF TO THE RACES
...the start of the three-mile run
48 weeks per year? Why
waste one-fourth of your
child’s life trying to find
something to occupy their
time, wasting good educatio
nal time. Should not our edu
cational system promote this
system of four 12 week terms
per year? Most of the rest of
the world does. The thirty—

six week concept of educa
tion is archaic. That idea
was instituted in the days of
rural living. The farm of
today doesn’t use the chil
dren that much because of
the mechanization of the
work. What do you
think?
So why not four 12 week

THE FORSYTH COUNTY NEWS —WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 1981-
About 60 Run Here;
Shriners Hold Parade
More than 60 runners and
hundreds of shriners turned
out Saturday, May 30, for the
Bank of Cumming’s road
race and the parade around
the courthouse square.
Later in the day, the Shrin
ers sponsored a free medical
clinic for children. Children
could be taken from there to
a Shrine hospital if a doctor
recommended it.
Bank president Walter
“Buddy” Hobbs said he was
very pleased at the turnout
for the road race and plans
to make it an annual event.
Plaques were given to win
ners in a one-mile and a
three-mile event.
The Shriners from all over
north Georgia formed up in
the First Baptist Church
parking lot on Church Street
and marched down Tribble
Gap Road and around the
square. It took all the bands,
floats, motorcycles, go karts
and limousines about 25 min
utes to march past.
The runners came from all
over the Atlanta area and
