bases are gone.
Although Sadat is now
turning toward American and
its Western European allies for
arms, he knows that Egypt
cannot threaten a major war
against Israel unless its military
machine is rebuilt by the
Soviet Union. For only the
Soviets are capable, politically
and logistically, of resupplying
Egypt in the midst of a hot war
with Israel.
Without confidence that
immediate replenishment of
arms and ammunition is
available, Egypt is unable to
contemplate a repeat of its
attack on Oct. 6,1973.
CANAL PROJECTS
Egypt’s commitment to
peace is also evidenced by the
enormous investments the
country is making in the
reconstruction and
development of the Suez Canal
area.
The three cities along the
canal - Suez, Ismailia and Port
Said -- were all but destroyed
between 1967 and 1973. More
than half a million bombs and
mines in addition to a score of
sunken ships blocked the canal,
although they have now been
cleared away and the canal is in
full operation.
Most of the area’s more than
half million inhabitants were
forced to leave, but since the
1973 war Egypt has invested
over $1 billion of carefully
accumulated development
funds in the rebuilding and
repopulation of this area.
Projects now underway and
slated for completion by 1980

The Annual Men’s Day
Program of Mt. Calvary Baptist
Church was held Sunday.
Delivering the keynote
address was Dr. Vernon
Williams. A professor of
mathematics at Southern
University in Baton Rouge,
La., Dr. Williams is a native
Augustan and former member
of Mt. Calvary.
Dea. Sidney Reese was
named “Man of the Year -
1977.” This will be his second
consecutive year holding the
title.
Superintendent of the
Church School, Dea. Silas
Norman Sr., presided over the
program themed, “A good man
is hard to find.”
Others on the program were:
deacons Charlie Smith, C harlie
Avery, Levin Ashley, Charles
Butler, Leroy Roberts, Chance
Lewis Jr., Robert Thurmond,
and Coleston Wilson, Dr. I.E.
Washington, John Morris,
Loran M. Gray, Cyrus Smith,

will involve the expenditure of
another S 1.3 billion.
In Ismailia and Suez huge
new housing projects, complete
with supermarkets, post
offices, schools and other
facilities, have provided homes
for the refugees and for
thousands of new residents.
The attractive chiseled stone
facades of “Feisal City” and
“Sabah City” in Suez and of
“Sheik Zayat City” in Ismailia
stand in sharp contrast to the
dreary pattern of public
housing in other parts of
Egypt.
The population of the canal
area now exceeds its pre-1967
level, and the waiting list for
entrance into the more than
85,000 new and restored
housing units averages about
six months.
Aside from housing, work is
well underway on a series of
tunnels that will pass
underneath the canal and link
Egypt directly with the Sinai
peninsula. Oil refineries have
been put back in operation and
new factories of various kinds
are being built to provide
employment for the area’s new
inhabitants.
All along the canal Japanese
and British technicians are
supervising a huge dredging
operation designed to widen
and deepen the canal and allow
it to be used by today’s fleets
of supertankers. In the
southern sector of the canal
alone this project involves the
expenditure of 5320 million
over a four-year period.

VOLUNTEER -- Sixty-five-year-old Alvin Burney

driver for Jackson, Miss. RSVP volunteers, is shown
with his father (left), 97 year-old Bob Burney, who
Retired bus driver drives for Senior Citizens
For 30 years Alvin “Al”
Burney has hauled logs,
lumber, schoolchildren
students and college athletic
teams.
Now retired, Burney is
enjoying a new challenge-as a
volunteer-transporting Retired
Senior Volunteer Program
(RSVP) participants to their
volunteer assignments in and
around Jackson, Miss.
“I hope I will never have to
haul another log piling in my
life,” said the 65-year-old
Burney, who bears the scars
and rough hands from making
charcoal and toting turpentine
buckets. “After years of
logging, turpentine dippingd,
charcoal making, hauling
lumber and driving school
buses, I am doing what I like
most -- helping people.”
Currently, Burney is the sole
driver for Jackson's RSVP
project. In the past three years,
he has logged more than 3,200
hours of volunteer service.
Each month he drives more
than 2,000 miles transporting
from 700 to 900 RSVP
volunteers in a 15-passenger
Sportsman van.
The former turpentine
dipper’s day begins well before
7:30 a.m. amd ends in the late
afternoon. He picks up
volunteers at their homes, and
takes them to the Veterans
Administration Center, Library
undertakings a “free zone” for
commerce and investment has
been created in Port Said, on
the Mediterranean end of the
Suez Canal, and two others are
planned for Ismailia and Suez.
All in all, if the expansion of
Egypt’s oil production in Sinai
and in the Gulf of Suez is
included, Egypt’s economic
stake in continued peace with
Israel is enormous.
Indeed, the importance of
this activity far exceeds its
contribution to the
strengthening of the Egyptian
economy, because each of
these projects would most
likely be destroyed in the
course of a new war.
And they are, in effect,
concrete signals to Israel that
Egypt is ready for a permanent
end to the state of
belligerency.

oumey’s first experience
with RSVP was with the
nutrition centers where senior
citizens get a full hot meal
daily. But because of his
driving experience and skill, he
was transferred to driving.
“I was encouraged and
persuaded by my father to join
RSVP,” said Burney. His
father, 97 year-old Bob
Burney, was serving as a RSVP
volunteer with Jackson’s
Headstart program. He had
completed over 500 hours
before his health forced him to
retire earlier this year. The
older Burney spent his RSVP
time spinning yams and telling
Bible stories to 37
pre-schoolers in Headstart.
At one time the younger
Burney held a school bus

and county Vancleave (Jackson

profitable. He then, left for
Jackson, the state’s capital.
A few years ago, he retired
from Jackson State College
where he had completed 23
years as supervisor of the
college’s transportation
department.
Throughout Burney’s
logging years, his worst
experience occurred between
Grautier and Mobile, Ala.,
when his rig and trailer, fully
loaded with piling and
cross-ties, jacknifed and flipped
over. He was trapped, hanging
upside down in his cab. When
he was rescued, he was unhurt
but drenched with gasoline
that has leaked into the cab.
His truck was a total loss.
During the few years he was
driving the Vancleave school
bus, Burney met, courted and
married Ruth Etta Batson.
They celebrated their 36th
anniversary last March. They
had 14 children, 13 of whom
are still living.
Max Muller, RSVP director
in Jackson, reported, “Bob and
Al Burney are doing things that
make the world a better place
to live. Their helping hands are
above and beyond the call of
duty.”
The younger Burney is the
adopted son of Bob and die
late Viola Burney. Bom in New

1. We are to love life. Is life
either dull or “lifeless” for
you? Then something is
wrong. Life is meant to be
filled with loveliness, some
thing that can cause us to say
that we “love life.”
2. Our days are to be good
days. So many of us have
1 both good and bad days.
I This “averaging of days out”
is not what life is meant for
either. All of our days are
draper
In 1972, John Greenleaf
Whittier wrote the celebrated
hymn, “Deal Lord And Father
of Mankind,” which speaks of
the need for us to rest, to come
apart and be still.
The entire hymn deserves to
be read and re-read almost
daily for its calming and
restorative spirit and for its
wealth of scriptural insight and
allusions in almost every line.
Dear Lord and Father of
mankind,
Forgive our foolish ways!
Reclothe us in our rightful
mind,
In purer lives thy service find,
In deeper reverence, praise.
mother, who was ill, took him
to stay for a week in
Vancleave. His “adopted”
mother wouldn’t let him go
home, Burney said. “It was 25
years later that I saw my
mother. You might as well say
1 was stolen.” He thinks he has
several ‘blood 1 relatives and a
half sister in New Orleans, the
only family he knows.
Both Bob and Al Burney are
deacons in their churches. Al is
at the New Bethel Baptist
Church in Jackson, and Bob at
Good Hope Baptist in Jackson
County -a church he helped
found more than 60 years ago.
“1 wish more people would
join RSVP and help their
fellow men and women,”
stated Burney. “1 think its a
wonderful organization. You
meet so many good people.”

the way God made them. In
any other form, they are mis
used or wrong.
3. Right attitudes are the
key. We must refrain our
tongues from all criticism
and speak only helpfulness.
We must not invent kind
things, either. We must learn
to see the good in all of life.
Then life will be seen as the
good He is for us.

Take from our souls the

fire,
