Here they will have jungle survival training after which their final assignment will be determined. Interested in missions for some time, the Holstons found that the door was closed when it was discovered that their son, Joe, had a hearing loss. After four years of private speech chooling he was able to transfer to public schools. For this the Holstons praise the Lord for blessings upon Joe that enabled him to compete with other chil dren. The Holstons said, “W'e find that as the Lord closes one door He opens another, for in August, 1968, we were introduced to Wycliffe Eible Translators. Their work is to undergird the linguists and translators by their support ng ministries. It will be our privilege to join them in seeking to reach the bibleless tribes with the word in their own tongues.” They ask the prayers of every one and a note of encouragement from anyone led to do so.

In the third quarter Jackson tallied its first touchdown on a 25 yard pass from Scot Taylor to Darrell McDowell. The extra point attempt failed and at the end of the third quarter the score was deadlocked at 6-6. With three minutes remaining in the game, Jackson was on their one yard line with the idea of a touch down seemingly i emote. The Jack son boys, undaunted and confi dent, moved the ball to the Barnesville 25 yard line where the home team took over. After three plays Barnesville was un able to make a first down and on fourth down attempted a punt which Jody Marchman blocked Darrell Sumers picked up to race 25 yards into the end zone.

CENTRAL GEORGIA ELECTRIC MEMBERSHIP corporation J/g COMMUNITY OWNS) • COMMUNITY BUKT CHtic. • COMMUNITY lUnDBt THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA Randy Jarrell Finds Another "Glass" Snake Randy Jarrell, 16, who knows more about snakes than many men five times his age, brought a 10 inch glass snake by the of fice Tuesday afternoon in a glass jar and expressed hope that he ! could keep it alive so he might I enter it in the Butts County Fair next week. According to Randy, the snakes are comparatively rare, are non poisonous, and enjoy a diet of i crickets, insects and bugs. Several years ago Randy caught a two foot long glass snake in his yard near a woodpile and brought him to town for display. He says this species of snake is most generally found un der brush and around and under old boards and the like. Since the snake was obviously a young one, Randy is keeping a weather eye open for Mama and Papa snake. Randy says that feeding is com paratively easy since he goes to a service station on 1-75 where bugs and insects are drawn by the strong lights and eventually fall to the ground where he retrieves them and feeds them to his glass snake and others that he might have at the moment. He said his current find, however, is so small that the crickets and insects must be broken or cut into pieces so they can be eaten. Randy said he has good luck in keeping his snakes alive so you might look for his small glass snake at the fail next week.
