Our concern for the Secular
Age in which we live cannot
be minimized. The church of
Jesus Christ is not an insti
tution. It is a people, that is
the “people of God”. It is a
people whose institution should
enable them to participate in
God’s action in the world.
It is my opinion that we have
to a great degree over-stres

spiritual side of life. I
think that I have been in
enough of the churches of
Taylor County to justify this
statement If you want proof of
that which I speak just look
at the attendance at some of
our social events in comparison
to church attendance on any
given Sunday.
The clarion call of God for
Christians in Taylor County
is to begin NOW through action,
prayer and witnessing. This to
me is the purpose of revival;
will you join with us in this
direct approach to lead men and
women into a closer relation
ship with the Living Chirst.
Our spiritual leaders for
the coming revival are Evan
gelist J. T. Pannell, pastor
of Calvary Baptist Church, West
Memphis, Arkansas and Lyn
Catron, Music Director of
First Baptist Church, Man
chester. We cordially in
vite each of you to come as
Christ guests to these, spiri
tual services. A nursery will
be provided.

Taylor Vikings Will
Open Friday At Home
Coach Norman K. Carter
in his usual “Crying Towel”
form is beginning to worry
about the coming basket
ball season. This year he is
coaching only the Lady Vikings.
This in itself should be enough
to disturb the opposing teams
since he will be able to con
centrate on one team only.
Being able to improve on
the record of past Lady Vikings
teams will be no easy task.
This year’s team will be without
the services of two girls who
will long be remembered for
their great playing efforts.

tion from the Boy Scout Coun
cil and spoke on scouting. He
said that an Eagle Scout has
a little more of what it takes
to be a man. In a survey made
at West Point it was found that
54% of the students were Ea
gle Scouts.
It takes three to four years
to attain the rank of Eagle and
that means association with 62
different men and the earning
of 21 merit badges. In the na
tion today there are 40,000,000
Boy Scouts but only about 1%
ever attain the rank of Eagle.
In eleven years only two boys
from Reynolds have gained the
recognition.
In Friday’s meeting, Charles
Crawley was presented his Ea
gle Scout badge which was pin
ned on by his mother, Mrs.
Thad Crawley. In turn, Charles
presented his mother a pin.
These presentations were made
by Mr. Jay Shimble, volunteer
scouter.
Guests for the day were Mrs.
Crawley, Will and Mike Craw
ley.
The invocation was pro
nounced by the Rev. Tegler
Greer.

Instructions as to how to dial
DDD can be found on page 5
of your Telephone Directory.
However, listed below are sev
eral good rules to follow when
placing calls via DDD.
First, dial “1”.
Next, dial the area code of
the distant place you are cal
ling, if it is outside the home
area of “912”. For example,
if you are calling Atlanta, the
area code is “404”. But, if
you are calling Albany or some
other town in the “912” area,
it is not necessary to dial the
area code.
Then, you dial the telephone
number. If an operator asks
for your number, give her the
telephone number from which
you are calling.
DDD service is fast and
cheap. A DDD call can be
made in about the time it takes
to reach an operator to place
the same long distance call
The R. L. McDougald and
the W. E. Parker Schools be
lieve that activities play an
important role in the lives of
students. These activities pro

curricular areas of partici

Parker the administrators try
to create and active and
intelligent interest in acti

the needs of the students. These
attributes are believed to
promote leadership abilities
and school spirit. They will
also create, maintain, and ex

important role in rounding out
and shaping the lives of stu
