Signs of spring: Coach Ray Knight
and his 1961 grid team head-knocking
each afternoon, preparing for the fall
offensive. . . Mr. J. B. Tarver, the
retired hardware merchant, and grow
er of camellias, distributing some of
his products to the ladies in his neigh
borhood. . . . Guerry Loyless searching
through the courthouse for a compan
ion to go fishing; however, this doesn’t
necessarily have to be spring, as Mr.
L. will go fishing any season of the
year. . . . Fertilizer salesman treating
farmers with extra care and kindness
. . . Photos of baseball players appear
ing in the daily press, denoting that
the summer campaigns will soon open
- . . Dogwood trees beginning to puti
on their spring finery, and azaleas
about ready to burst into bloom. Very
son our town will be a riot of color,
and Florida tourists can be seen stop
ping along the streets to take photos.

Odds and ends: Our section of the
state isn't faring too well in the cage
tournaments. Dawson, which repre
sented Region B in the Macon tourna
ment, was eliminated very early, and
Edison, last year's C champs of the
entire state, hardly got their suitcases
set down before they had to pack up!
and leave Macon. This week, the Mil
ler County girls try for the state
crown. and region 1-B’s reputation as‘
good basketball territory is left up
entirely to the girls from Colquitt. . .‘
My friend, Mr. E. H. Hollington, at
New Hope, had the misfortune to lose
his home and all contents by fire early |
Sunday morning. . . The hosiery busi
ness must be flourishing. J. Melvin
Middleton, who forsook Blakely for
north Georgia, (Cedartown) informsl
me that he has opened a New York
office, so when anybody from Blakelyl
is in the Big City drop by 350 Fifthl
Avenue, the Empire State Building,
and if Melvin happens to be there.l
make him take you out to dinner. . . If
Blakely isn’t growing, how do you ac
count for all these new people who
keep moving in? Most of them, how
ever, are connected with the Colum
bia or Fort Gaines dam projects, and
may be classed as part-time citizens,
but, nevertheless, we are glad to have
them, even for a little while. And when
you hear somebody talking about those
dam people, they aren't using profan
ity. With new people coming to Blake
ly. wouldn’t it be wise if some of the
service clubs had a greeters commit
tee to make them feel welcome . . .
Among these who have recently come
to Blakely to make their home are
Mr. and Mrs. Jim Meredith. Mr. Mere- |
dith is an engineer at Walter F. Gaox~e
dam, and it would make you glow in
side to hear Jim's pretty wife say]
how well she likes our town and its
people. . . And another new couple is
Dr. and Mrs. Harry Prater, the latter
being connected with Holland Hospi
tal. I haven't seen the doctor, but if
ke looks one-half as well as Mrs. Pra
ter, he’ll get by. They occupy an apart
ment in the Holloway residence on
Magnolia.
* %
Everett Culpepper, the obliging trac
tor dealer and jolly good fellow, hasl
been out of circulation for several
days undergoing treatment in the hos
pital. . . Nothing is so distracting as the
sound of a siren at night. and there
were plenty distractions Saturday night |
. . . That “great debate” between Jack|
Parr and Ed Sullivan sounds very much
. .

' The Early County Jaycees announc
ed today that it will sponsor several
showings of the motion picture “Day of
Triumph”, at the Blakely High School
auditorium, Damascus school auditor
ium, and Jakin school auditorium, on
March 22 and 23.
Proceeds of the show will be used
by the Jaycees for its needy commun
ity services, the announcement stated.
} It has taken a man of the cloth to
rectify one of the talking screen’s
|greatest omissions until now—a full
scale portrayal of Christ with voice
and color.
Subtitled “Day of Tri}umph.“ the
Biblical spectacle is a James K. Fried
rich production for Century Films. |
| Though “Day of Triumph” is the
Rev. Dr. Friedrich’s first theatrical
screen production, he is no tyro at'j
"film-making. As founder-president of
Cathedral Films, he has made a total
52 short religious films for exhibition
in churches of many denominations.
But he took leave from Cathedral to}
make the new picture for the major
theatre circuits. \
} Through all of the 16 years since he
came to Hollywood from his native
Red Wing, Minn, he has dedicated
;himself to the eventual prcject of
doing the Christ story on a scale com
mensurate with the significance of
the subject.
Dr. Friedrich found no inconsistency
between the demands of entertainment
land his principal story source, the
iHoly Bible. It is not far and away
like a publicity stunt to me, and be
sides what has either one of these
‘ellows got to say that would make a
person want to stay up until midnight
to hear? Show people are such phonies
that I view with suspicion their mo
tive for doing anything. . . Most of
them will espouse any cause, be for
or against anything, if it means a
“good press”, and a good press means
anything which will get their names
in the papers, provided their names
are spelled correctly. .. Pete Under
wood sayvs a customer came in his
store and says things are picking up.
Said a man picked up his TV*® and
refrigerator last week and he was
afraid if he didn't arrange a payment,
his car would be picked up... It's
good to see J. Emory Houston, the
postmaster, back on duty after a stay
in the hospital, because of an eye
operation and to learn that his recov
ery will be complete.
the world’s consistently greatest sellet]
‘without good reason. “
| To do the screen play Dr. Friedrich |
!assigned one of the industry’s leading
scenarists, Arthur T. Horman.
I Horman did the exhaustive research
over a period of five years—three of
them before putting pen to paper. ‘
| It will be seen from all this that
not only does “Day of Triumph” fil!‘
a long void on the talking screen, but |
in doing so may also do what “King
of Kings”, has done before it—go on
and on through the years as a definite
story of the great days that all of
Christendom reveres now with ever
increasing fervor.
. Special arrangements have been
made for all school children to seel
the outstanding film.
| Mr. Buckner has arranged for the
Blakely school to see the film at 8:45
|a. m., Thursday March 23.
’ Mr. Chester has arranged for the
‘Damascus school auditorium showing
lto be at 1 p. m, the same day. Mr.
Cannon is having this showing at the
Jakin school auditorium at 10:30 a. m.,
on Wednesday, March 22.
| The public can also attend any of
ithe above showings. There will be
‘another showing at the Blakely High
School auditorium at 8 p. m. on Thurs
day, March 23. |
A special preview showing of the
film to which all clergymen and educa
tors of the area are invited, will be
held at the Blakely High School audi
torium at 9:30 a. m. next Saturday,
March 18.
I Tickets for the public showing of
the film ars available “rem members
of the Earlv Countv Javcees, as well
as wrom Mrs. Doroihy Bacon Bisbee
at the Quail Motel. ;

A Thought for Today . By: Edsel W. Bryan
“It Is Not Alone What We Do, But Also
What We Do Not Do, For Which
We Are Accountable. . . ~”
It was Moliere, if memory serves us correctly,
who pointed out that we stand accountable for our
errors of omissions as well as errors of commission.
Most of us can think back to instances where a
result was obvious and certain. An act, a word,
a warning, had it been forthcoming from us, might
have altered and corrected an obvious course. These
are errors of omission of which many of us have been
guilty.
There will be instances again when we know that
we should speak out or act against wrongs or injus
tices, but for reasons of our own, we will fail to do
so. Here again we find ourselves accountable for
-what we have not done.
