At Rock Eagle
Waycross, Ga. — Baptist Village,
Homes for Retired People, will be
in the State spotlight on June 17th
when Baptist churches of Georgia
observes the sixth annual Baptist
Village Day.
A goal of $150,000 has been set
for the special offering for the Vil
lage, which has announced plans
for a $700,000 expansion program
that will double the resident ca
pacity. Plans for the Village Day
observance were mapped at a
meet of Baptist officers of the 94
Baptist Associations of the State.
In preparation for the observance
the more than 2800 Baptist church
es of Georgia have been supplied
with materials relating to the min
istry of the Village, the newest
agency of the Georgia Baptist Con
vention.
Discussing the ministry of Baptist
Village, Rev. Harvey Mitchell, ad
ministrator said, “The Village is
more than just food and shelter
for its residents — it offers them a
place of wholesome activity and
contentment. It seeks to make the
latter years truly the golden years
for all who call it home.”
“Baptists of Georgia,” he added,
“through their prayers and gifts
become a part of the vital ministry
of Baptist Village. Its growth, its
outreach and its care of increased
numbers depend largely on Bap
tists’ love and generosity.”
The new building project of the
Village will increase the resident
capacity from 56 to 112 and will
provide a large central service
area, including administration fa
cilities, dining rooms and a large
kitchen.
Plans call for a dormitory unit
for 28 persons next to the service
area and a third cluster of apart
ments for 28 residents near the
illage lake. The service area and
the dormitory unit will form a
double quadrangle and will be
located adjacent to the huge oak
tree on the Village site.
The 1961-62 State Council met at

Jack Peed, Central Club; Mrs. Hazel
Patrick, Mrs. Luke Adams, Rupert

E. Avera, Cross Roads Club; Mrs.
Edwards Cooper, H. D. Agent
The theme: “Homemaking the
Heart of the Nation”-for 1961-62
was adopted for the new year. The
theme was emphasized throughout
all meetings with the program of
work as follows: Citizenship, civil
defense, expanding Home Demon
stration programs, publicity and
recruitment.
One of the featured speakers, Dr.
Nicholas Nyaradi, stared that the
people of America have forgotlen
the most important thing they pos
sess: “Their American Heritage.”
The place to start preserving our
American heritage is with the
homemaker as she can make a bet
ter life according to her own ini
tiative; help make a better world
by the proper training and teach
ing of her children; she must be
wife, mother, councilor, citizen,
pillow of the church in her home
and community. What are you do
ing to preserve your American heri
tage?

Butler Vocational
Canning Plant
Will Open June 21
Gov. Vandiver said he would call
special session of the General
Assembly “immediately” if the
legislative study committee can
come up with a reapportionment
measure assured of speedy pass
age.
The governor’s conditions for
calling an early session apparent
ly came in answer to those who
have been pressing him to summon
the lawmakers back to Atlanta be
fore the September primary.
What he would want comes to
this: A reapportionment proposal
—either a bill or constitutional
amendment — with enough signa
tures to guarantee its passage
even before the special ession was
called.
Rep. Joe Underwood, chairman
of the study committee, said he
hoped that the group could ad
vance a plan acceptable to most
legislators before the September
primary.
The committee has a public
hearing scheduled for June 21,
after which, Rep. Underwood said
he hopes a reapportionment move
will “start jelling.”

A group of Aggressive merchants
and business men of this county
have generously underwritten the
cost for running a Church Directory
page in the Herald for the next
few weeks in order to acquaint
Taylor County citizens with the
weekly activities of all churches in
this area.
The Herald made a plea recently
for every white church in Taylor
County, regardless of denomination
al affiliations, to mail or bring in
their Directory, carrying such infor
mation as name of church and
pastor, days and hours of worship,
and any other information concern
ing the activities of your church.
There are approximately forty or
more churches in the county and
only a very small percentage of
them have furnished the requested
data. Won’t you please mail or
bring this material to the Herald
Office immediately so that we
may begin publishing the Directory
Page in your county paper?
