Early Co. makes

From: Early Memorial Hospital
Subject: November 6, 1969 Blood
Bank
We wish to express apprecia
tion to Early County News, WBBK
and all those committees that
worked to make the Blood Bank
a success on yesterday, Novem
ber 6, 1969,
For the first time in a year.
Early County has met Its quota
of donors to the American Red
Cross Blood Mobile. Over 200
persons offered themselves as
Donors to the Blood Mobile.
1 am personally grateful to all
members of the committees for
their efforts to make this Pro
gram Quota. It is now evident
that the entire community work
ing can make the program a suc
cess in the future.
I hope that the committees
will be standing committees, and
will work again next year.
Sincerely,
Joe Bancroft
Administrator
First, the hosiery designers
report that your chances of
getting a run are much greater
if your hosiery doesn’t fit
properly: if it’s too tight the
threads may be forced to give,
if it’s too loose, it can catch
and snag more easily. Second
ly, garters should be fastened
only to the welt, not the sheer
part of the stocking. Thirdly,
and most important, carry a
spare! Clever women used to
buy two matching pairs at a
time so they could carry an
extra in their purse. But today
you can buy a pair with a
spare. Fruit of the Loom now
packages them in threes and
even includes a small plastic
envelope for carrying the spare
in your purse. The idea is
called “A Little Extra” because
the stockings are also made
with a little extra length and a
narrower welt at the top to
accommodate today’s shorter
skirt length. Stockings should
stretch to the size of the
wearer and should fit like a
second skin, with no sagging at
the ankle or the knee, say the
Fruit of the Loom designers.
This not only prevents runs
but, more important, it guaran
tees the most beautiful leg
look. And in today’s fashion,
with legs taking up one third of
woman’s total look, the ex
perts say that hosiery is no
longer an accessory but a ward
robe in itself.
Fortunately, a hosiery ward
robe can be the least expensive
part of your fashion picture.

MENTAL
HEALTH
MATTERS
StanleyF. Yolles,M.D.
Director
National Institute
of Mental Health
CLERGYMEN AID
MENTAL HEALTH
Perhaps more than almost
any others, those of us con
cerned with psychiatry and men
tal health have recognized the
role of the clergy in combatting
mental illness.
In the community in which
you live as you read this news
paper, your clergymen are aid
ing mental health in many
ways.
Surveys have shown that
people turn to their religious
leaders more than to any other
professional people in time of
emotional and mental troubles.
One such study indicated that
42 percent of the people came
to see clergymen about their
problems compared to 29 per
cent to physicians and 28 per
cent to a mental health agency,
social agency, or some other
professional group or person.
If so many people with men
tal illness problems are con
sulting their clergyman, what is
he able to do for them?
There are a number of ways
in which religious leaders can
and do aid mental health.
One way is providing psycho
social counseling in depth. This
requires sources to which the
clergyman can turn for con
sultation, such as a mental
health center or professional
group. It also requires training
for the clergyman—and many
such courses are today available
with National Institute of Men
tal Health and other support.
Another method of aid is a
kind of social counseling. Here
the clergyman gives people as
sistance in dealing with problem
situations, gaining insight into
themselves and others, clarify
ing and identifying courses of
action.
A third way of help is through
support and referral.
This means giving emotional
support to a person and assist
ing him to understand and know
what help he needs and where
he can get it. After assisting
in getting the person help, the
pastor continues the supportive
relationship in cooperation with
the helping agency.
In sum, the clergy contribute
to community mental health by
enabling the church to fulfill
its mission; by carrying out
pastoral duties sensitively and
competently: by developing and
using counseling skills; by sup
porting and using community
mental health and other human
services; and by giving leader
ship in making the community
a place consistent with the
teachings of the clergyman’s
faith.
American motorists use about
100-million tires a year.
Former President Lyndon- B.
Johnson is writing two books,
expected to be published soon.
Mr. Phelps is the grandson of
the late Mr. and Mrs. R. E.
McCraine of Blakely and the late
Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Phelps of
Cuthbert. He is a 1965 gradu
ate of Blakely High School and a
1967 graduate of Middle Georgia
College. He is currently employ
ed with W. T. Grant Co., Panama
City, Florida.
A December 28 wedding is
planned at the First Freewill
