Love my en emy when I can barely deal calmly with my in-laws? Yet this hard say ing has validity in a world where even a small act of violence has such unforeseeable repercussions. Scientific advances have heighten ed our mutual vulnerability. Only love and non-violence can sustain us. We may concede violence is in all of us. So is God. Try His way. It works. Get together with your family, friends, neighbors, or co workers to discuss the problems of violence and how you can work to gether to help solve them.

Among the discussants were NAACP Field Secretary Robert Flanagan, Adoptive Parent Program Director Mrs. Beverly J. Worrell, Mrs. Ruby Hurley, Augusta Adoptive Parent Program Director, Joyce Tutt and board chairman Charles Walker Miss Tutt said she has referred approximately 44 prospective homes for child placement to the Department of Family and Children Services. But, she said, bureaucratic red tape makes placement very minimal. It was also learned that Black churches will be asked to support the child adoptive program by making monthly donations to the organization. During a question-answer period, it was revealed that single persons may adopt children as long as they are at least 25 years of age and at least 10 years older than the child to be adopted. The adoptive project is concerned with making the Black community aware of the fact that there are many children available for adoption and who simply are waiting for a home; helping individuals and groups become more aware of the adoption procedures of local agencies and assisting families in working with those agencies. The organization also attempts to reduce the amount of time involved in processing the adoption. The project seeks volunteer help.
