Are You Alive? An Atlanta minister yesterday told his congregation human beings are inclined more and more to "run away from it all in an era where the world is getting bigger, the pace gets faster, and competition is more pronounced." Dr. Roy O. McClain, pastor of Atlanta First Baptist Church, speaking to thousands in the sanctuary and multi-thousands more via WAGA-TV, warned his hearers today's tendency is "we'll build a sweet little nest -way out west-and let the rest of the world go by." "I think one sin the Good Lord will hold us accountable for at Judgment Day is the sin of just not caring," the minis- ter said. "I'm saying: Do you have an emotion one way or another? Are you alive? That's what He wants to know Involve- ment in 1965 as a child of God means you are forever to juggle -getting in there with sleeves rolled up, but being no part of the problem." Dr. McClain said he is alarm- ed each time a newspaper pub- lishes a poll Gallup or other- wise showing the ever-in- creasing strength of the "neu- tral, undecided." "So many times it means 'go peddle your beans somewhere else, I'm busy," he continued. The minister, pastor of the largest congregation in Georgia, Funeral Notice STANDARD-Died Sunday.

"To turn in a paper with no name and no marking is the big sin," he said. He said the last decades have brought a change in manners- reminding of bygone days when gentlemen removed their coats for women to cross mud pud- dles. "Now, today, the smart- aleck uncleaned teenager won't even pull back the mop of hair from his eyes to say good morn- ing," he said. "What does it matter if you are going 150 miles per hour in 1965 and you're on the wrong road?"

Galambos and his family turned into some amateur sleuthing that led police to a $14,000-per- week moonshine whisky still. Detectives J. E. Tallen and C. A. Bailey, who estimated the worth of the 500-gallon still's output, gave most of the credit to Mrs. Galambos. She first no- ticed a peculiar odor as the fam- ily, including Sharron, 11, and Mike, 7, walked along a creek bank about a quarter of a mile from their home in a new subur- ban residential section. Searching the area, the Ga- lambos found the still camou- flaged in a hole in the ground. They also found a car loaded with moonshine equipment.. Galambos, a faculty member at Emory University's Medical School, said they "almost stepped on" a middle-aged Ne- gro man who was hiding behind a tree near the site. The doctor told police the man said he was out training his dog to catch rabbits. Galambos said they did not believe him but walked away without questioning him further. Sharron told officers the li- cense number of the car and a warrant is out for the arrest of the owner, the detectives said.

The governor traced the his- tory of Georgia's records from the Revolutionary War and said the new building will house all the official records and valuable documents, both of the state government and Georgia's coun- ties and municipalities. He commended Vandiver, un- der whose administration the money was made available for the erection of the $6.6 million building.
