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.

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.
