Jackson progress-Argus
VOL. 93 —NO. 37
Jackson-Henry County Square Off Here
Friday As Both Teams Seek First Win
The Tornadoes of Henry Coun
ty and the Red Devils of Jackson
High, both winless and both re
building, go at it with reckless
abandon Friday night at eight
o’clock on The Hill in the opening
game of the infant season for
Jackson. An overflow crowd is
expected to fill every seat and
most of the standing room to see
the old rivals contest for suprem
acy of the two counties.
Coach Carl Peaster, regroup
ing his forces following the 47-0
rout by the razor sharp Purple
Hurricanes of Monticello Friday
night, sent the Devils through
drills on fundamentals Monday
afternoon that was climaxed with
a scrimmage in which two start
ers were injured, one with little
chance to play Friday night. Hugh
Glidewell, letterman end, took a
nasty cut on his lip that required
seven stitches to close, but Coach
Peaster feels that he will be able
to play against Henry County.
He was not as optimistic, how
ever, about the chances of Billy
Phillips, middle line backer, who
suffered a painful back injury
that will probably bench him for
a week or so.
The way Monticello went after
the undermanned Red Devils, one
would have adduced the Hurri
canes were playing for the state
championship. In fact, Coach
Bobby Holland is alleged to have
remarked that the performance
of the Hurricanes Friday night
was the best he had ever seen.
The Red Devils surrendered 38
points in the first half, came back
to play a much better second half,
holding the Hurricane reserves to
nine points. Quarterback Joe
Gasses scored one touchdown,
passed for another, booted two
field goals and five PAT’s to pace
the Hurricane massacre.
With blocking and line charg
ing non existent, Jackson’s of
fense was stymied throughout the
contest. Only on two occasions
did Jackson move for a first down
only to have both recalled because
of penalities. Once Lee Fambro
broke around his left end for a
15 yard gain, and later Tim
Hardy hit Fambro in the flat with
a pass for about 25 yards, but
both plays were nullified by in
fractions.
The Jackson band, under the
direction of Kenneth Owen, will
play at the game and add to the
festivities of the occasion.
A schoolwide pep rally will be
held in the school auditorium Fri
day afternoon in an effort to pre
pare the student body’s frame of
mind for the game.
Reserve seat tickets and season
tickets are on sale and may be
obtained at the school or from
Coach Peaster.

Constitution Be
Observed During
Week Sept. 17-23
The week of September 17-23
has been proclaimed as Constitu
tion Week in Jackson by Mayor
C. B. Brown Jr., who urges all
citizens to pay special attention
during the week to the Federal
Constitution and the advantages
of American citizenship.
Constitution Week is an annual
project of the William Mclntosh
Chapter, Daughters of the Amer
ican Revolution, and they have
again this week taken initiative
in observance locally. Members of
the DAR point out that citizens
and the Constitution are insepar
able and that recognition, observ
ance, and commemoration of
United States citizenship are
closely related to basic purpose
of commemorating the signing of
the Constitution.
It was in 1955 that the DAR
originated the idea of devoting an
entire week to the Constitution
by extending the period of ob
servance beyond the one day of
September 17th.
Mayor Brown in his proclama
tion cited the basic need of the
nation today as preservation of
constitutional government. He
termed the Constitution as “the
greatest document for human
liberty in 2,000 years of recorded
history.”
Rev. Holston And
Family Accepted
To Brazil Field
Rev. W. Andy Holston, pastor
of the Pleasant Grove Congrega
tional Methodist Church and for
mer engineer for the City of
Jackson, has received official
notification from the Oriental
Missionary Society, Inc. of Green
wood, Indiana that he, Mrs. Hol
ston and their children have been
accepted as a family to join the
worldwide missionary family of
the above named missionary so
ciety. This official word which
Mr. Holston had anticipated for
several weeks was contained in a
recent letter to him from Eugene
A. Erny, president of the Oriental
Missionary Society, Inc.
According to Rev. Holston,
from information at hand, it is
indicated that he and his family
will leave for Brazil sometime
late in December or early in Jan
uary. Mr. Holston said that it is
his understanding that he will at
tend a year of language school
at Campanis, Brazil after which
he will be working in the outskirts
of Sao Paulo, a city of about six
million people.
Mr. Holston said it will be one
of his tasks to establish churches
among those won to Christ by
Crusade Teams in street meetings,
house to house witnessing and
personal evangelism. He reports
that lay leaders will be trained
to carry on the work of the
churches as they are established
and grounded in Biblical doctrines
and New Testament practices. As
one church is established in the
outskirts of Soa Paulo, Mr. Hol
ston indicated that others will be
started at another site until the
huge city is encircled by churches.
Mr. Holston said that after
spending four years in Brazil his
family will be eligible for a year’s
furlough in the United States
which is normally spent raising
another five years support
through speaking engagements
and personal contacts.
Mr. Holston announced that his
pastorate at Pleasant Grove of
ficially ended August 31st but
that he will continue to supply
the church until it ce’’s anew
pastor. He also pointed out that
he is available to any church that
wishes him to speak or show slides
of Haiti or Brazil. Mr. Holston
states that upon moving from the
pastorium they will reside with
Mrs. W. K. Thaxton at Route 3,
Jackson.
Mr. Holston pointed out that
his work with the missionary
society is quite different to being
sent to a foreign field through a
mission board. Before a mission
ary can be sent to a field, he
must secure the promise of funds
sufficient to cover his financial
needs for the four years on the
field and the year of furlough.
This includes a monthly allow
ance for the family, housing,
travel, and related expenses with
round trip transportation and
freight costs also included.
STARK METHODIST

23rd, with the pastor, Rev. Don
Harp, to bring the message each
evening.
