Rev. Dow Kirkpatrick Presents Series -
Of Devotional Addresses At YWCA Camp
_ The Y, W. C. A. Campers and
staff at Jennie Arnold Edwards
Camp have enjoyed a week of
helpful and inspiring devotional
talks given by Dr. Dow Kirkpat
rick, of First Methodist Church,
during their daily devotional pe
riods at camp this past week.
Dr. Kirkpatrick’s theme, “High~
ways to Right Living,” covered
seven short talks, The first one,
explained that Life may be lik
ened to a highway—we may start
out on a high level or a low level,
depending upon whether we live
low or high. If we live in a mud
hole, figuratively speaking, we
will see mud. If we live in the
tree tops we will see the moun
tains.
He developed his theme by ex
plaining the “Rules of the Road.”
Since this talk fell on the fourth
of July, he dwelt on the free
doms which we may enjoy along
our road of life, not the freedom
to do just as we like, but the
freedom to regulate our lives and
make them work in accordance
with the freedom of other per
sons and with the purposes of
freedom; saying that wrecks oc
cur for people and they fail to‘
reach their destinations on the
highways of life because they
start doing little things that
eventually take their minds and
talents away from the purpose of
destination of their highways of
life. Too frequently they become
lost on the by-ways of life—the
Regional Library Reading Club
Boq‘si:s"g.f.-!ff_r_ge Member Ship Moto
By LEON DRISKELL
A long-standing summertime
activity for Athens children is the
Vacation Reading club which has
gained even more popularity this
summer than it held previously.
Reading books—centered around
a special theme—comprises a lei
sure time fill-in for 438 youngsters
of Athens. Sponsored by the Ath
ens Regional Library, the club
operates at four library branches
and from the ever-popular Book
mobile,
Children’s librarian Miss Betty
S_house emphasized today that the
!Ibrary is in no way attempting to
interfere with normal and health
ful out-of-door activities. Swim
ming, games, and household chores
are an important part of the child’s
summer, the way Miss Shouse sees
things, and reading is a pleasant
and constructive way for the
young ones to amuse themselves
in quieter hours of the day.
The Library is giving certificates
again this year to the members of
the Vacation Reading Club who
read ten books during the sum
mer. Certificates with gold seals
will be given to those who read
twenty-five or more books.
Since sponsorship of the Club
is under the auspiceg of the For
estry Department, each child is
given a pin resembling an ever
green tree when he enters the
club. The pin is kept at the library
with his name om it and is pinned
on a map of Georgia. There are
two maps in the children’s de
partment—one for reading from
one to ten books and the second
for reading up to twenty-five
books. After completing twenty
five bocks the child may take his
pin home with him.
Most of the children choose
Athens as display point for their
pins, but since all of them can
not be placed there, other towns
are used. The youngsters chose
towns which have impressed them,
where they once lived, or where
their fathers and brothers were
stationed during the recent war
and for training since the Korean
conflict.
Little Janet Yarnell paid a call
to the library while the Banner-
Herald reporter was gathering n
formation. Eight years old, Janet is
in the fourth grade at Chase st.
School and had her pin for reading
twenty-five books placed at Ath
ens.
Largest Number Read
Barbara Acree seems to be lead
ing the Club in number of books
read with a total of sixty-three.
Carole Perteet and Glenda Watson
are running close seconds with
56 books each.
Children who have read twen
ty-five books or more include:
Barbara Acree, Dorothy Anchors,
Jacqueline Davis, Rachel Davis,
Dot Dobbs, Peggy Dobbs, Marie
Dunaway, Dan Glasner, Patricia Jo
Herring, Charles Cooper, Lyn

SHE MAKES YOUNG
MEN OLD
This 17-year-cld movie star
let, June McCall, has asked a
Hollywood court to restrain her
ex-husband, George Carl Meek
11, from harassing her. Meek,
whose marriage to Miss McCall
lasted 31 days, claims “‘she made

roads that are unimportant, and
often dangerous.
On Sunday evening Dr. Kirk
patrick talked on the power that
makes our lives go. He compared
’our school teachers,-our parents,
our Sunday school teachers, our
neighbors, our “Y” leaders, our
}Scout leaders, in fact "all of the
people who give us training in
\life, to the gasoline that enables
our cars to go on the highway, but
explained that even gasoline
'needs to be mixed with air to
make it of any use in motivating
our cars. Thus all of our training
which we obtain from schools and
people and experience on the
highway of life, must be mixed
with something else, and that
somthing else is Faith in God—
to make it of any use to us in
reaching our destination on the
highway of life. Dr. Kirkpatrick
menticned also that the “over
drive” on our car of life may be
very well likened to Prayer—for
“Prayer” is that something “Ex
tra” which is available to us if
we but use it—to give us the
added help we need.
Our road map on the highway
of life, he explained, is our Bible,
not an old book, written for “old
people”—but an ever new and in
spiring book which is available in
modern language if youth prefers
it that way, and a universal and |
eternal guide, which will tell us‘
exactly how to get where we wish
to go.

Children keep their own records
on books read under the super
vision of their parents who sign
each of the lists of books before the
list are turned in to the Librarian.
One of the most tabgible re
wards of the book club members
will come this fall when the chil-
dren who receive certificates will
be given pine trees to set out.
The trees are to be secured by the
County Agents of the three parti
cipating counties. A demonstration
will be given on the care and
planting of the trees before they
are given to the club members.
As usual a party will be planned
for the book club members with
refreshments and entertainment.
Last year's entertainment was so
well received by Athens Youths
that a return performance was
necessary. Mrs. Laura Paddock
presented a well-executed puppet
show for the junior readers in the
Civic Auditorium and then again
in University Chapel.
New Books
New books have been placed on
the bookshelves of the library in
the past few days which should
be of interest to the Vacation
Reading Club members. Several
are on forestry and provide ac
curate pictures of forestry meth
ods and life in the woods. Much
material is also on hand from the
Forestry Department.
Aiding Miss Shouse in the Chil
dren’s Department this summer
are Judy Albert and Barbara Ei
dam, juniors at Athens High
School. The two girls do part-time
work of a clerical nature in ad
dition to helping the children
select bogks.
Two other features of the Li
brary summer program which con
tinue to be attractive to the local
children are the radio story hour
broadcast on Friday afternoon at
3 o'clock over Station WGAU, and
the Library Story Hour which is
told at the Regional Library on
Hancock at 10 o’clock on Satur
day mornings.
Miss Marion Bloomfield, regu
lar Library Story Teller who is
beloved by thousands of Athens
children, is on a short vacation
from her work this month and
Mrs. Gwin Griffeth is filling in
for her durir;g :‘lul,}".

ence youth to emphasize the Point

The Federation of Chinese

a meeting of leading Chinese as

Mr. Warner is one of the most

Club on an extensive tour of the
state this year and was meét
throughout the state with praise

Dramatic
(Continued From Page One)
was holding a cigaret in a black
holder. He kept his eyes on Dirk
sen for a moment, flicked the ash
from his cigaret, and then casual- l
ly turned his head. Still smiling,
he said something to Mrs. Jessica
Weis, a tall, patrician woman
from Rochester, a delegate.
Held Attention
Every eye in the hall turned
toward Dewey. Photographers
swarmed aroud the New York
section, climbing over each other’s
backs, to snap the pictures. Peo
ple stood on chairs, craning, yell
ing and gesturing. The galleries
were a nightmare of sound and
excitement,
If Dewey felt the whip-lash of
that moment, he gave no sign of
it. The smile stayed on his face,
and no other emotion so much as |
flickered there, |
A moment later, things were
going on in another ring of thel
circus. 3
Over near the Indiana standard,
there was a sudden swirl of move
ment, another explosion of noise
and again peopie standing on
chairs. A stock little man, coat
less and wearing a white shirt,
was flailing away with his fists
at a brother Republican, who ap
peared to have missed the stocky
little man and hit one of the floor
guards.
The police broke that up, but,
like a brush-fire with a spark |
still left somewhere, it soon t
started again. The second time,
they stopped it completely. l
Soon afterward, Gov. John S. .
Fine of Pennsylvania came intol
the starring role. Fine is short,
rotund and aggressive. ,
Charged to Rostrum |
He charged up from the floor to .
the speaker’s rostrum like an in- |
furiated buffalo to protest the "
opening of the vote on Georgia. |
He was white-faced and he trem- |
bled with fury. His high, pink |
forehead glistened with sweat. {
Fine claimed there had been an '
agreement for a recess before the |
vote. He grabbed the temporar,vg
chairman, Walter Hallanan of |
West Virginia, by the arms, and ]
his hoarse voice grated out over |
the public-address system, “My
God, let’s keep our agreements.” '
Hallanan ruled him out of or-!
der. !
The pitch of feeling was almost |
unbearable. by that time. The {
three-man delegation from Puer
to Rico saved the situation with !
a demand that the group be for- |
mally polled. One of the delegates |
wasn’t fhere; the committee |
couldn’t find one name and the [
secretary couldn’t pronounce an
other, and in the end, one vote
was changed.
Rocked With Laughter
People were rocking with
laughter, and for the moment they |
forgot all about Dewey, Fine and ’
the pugilists over near Indiana. |
The vote on the Georgia case, l
tense though it was, came almost |
as an anticlimax to all this. !
As somebody remarked, “these
Republicans are acting like a !
bunch of doggone Democrats to
night.” |
There are about 80,000 species of |
moths and butterflies. !
