The District Confer ence begins at 3:00 p.m. with Rev. R. Neal Windom, District Superintendent, presiding. There are 111 churches in the Griffin District.

Mr. Windom states, “The progress made by a local church depends in large measure upon the leadership given by the pastor and laity. The leadership in the local United Methodist Church seeks to be sensitive to the needs of persons and obedient to the leadership of the Holy Spirit. The purpose of these work shops is to equip ourselves to serve more effectively.” U. S. Should Shun Foreign Fights, Talmadge Warns ATLANTA, - (GPS) Geor gia’s senior U. S. Sen. Herman E. Talmadge, addressing Arm istice Day ceremonies in Monroe, warned against United States’ involvement in foreign conflicts “where we have no business” and urged that Congress reassert its Constitutional powers. “For 10 tragic years Ameri can soldiers fought an unde clared war in Southeast Asia that cost more than 50,000 lives, drained our treasury, and drove our people apart. That must never happen again,” he declared. “I have the highest respect for veterans of the Armed Forces,” Talmadge said. “The American people have always responded to the call of duty, and I am confident they always will. “However, whenever young men of America are committed to fight and die in a foreign battlefield, it ought to have the express approval of the people through their elected repre sentatives in Congress -and not just because of unilateral action by the President.” Sen. Talmadge cosponsored the War Powers Act in the Senate, which was vetoed by President Richard M. Nixon. The legislation would require USED CUR you cm mmn puss up 72 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Sharp.

Square Dance Class Be Taught Here Registration for the western square dance club has been “slow” according to Marion D. Todd and C. E. Tucker who are spearheading the opportunity for new recreation for Butts adults. Messrs. Todd and Tucker said Tuesday morning that there would be no classes this Friday night, but a meeting would be held at the Jackson Butts County Recreation Build ing (old Pepper ton Baptist Church) at eight o’clock and that classes would resume next week, November 16th, at the above location.

S. Troops had been committed to foreign combat and, unless Congress specif ically approved that action, the troops would have to be withdrawn within 60 days. “We are not trying to take away from the President any of his constitutional powers to use American forces to repel sudden attacks on the United States or to protect American nationals abroad.” Talmadge said. “What we are trying to do is create a more effective partnership between Congress and the Executive in foreign affairs and to reassert Con gress’ clear responsibility under the Constitution to wage war. “The most important deci sion a nation can make is to go to war, and that decision should not be in the hands of one man, no matter how broad his shoulders or thick his hide. That power belongs to the people through Congress,” the senator asserted. Sen. Talmadge said legisla tion to more clearly define the President’s war powers would be “an important step toward getting the United States out of the business of trying to play policemen, banker and Santa Claus for the whole world.” IN APPRECIATION We would like to express to all our neighbors and friends our appreciation for all the acts of helpful kindness rendered our family during the sickness and death of our husband and father.

That is roughly about one out of every five citizens and all will not be lucky and see it happen to the other fellow. It can and will strike YOU. During 1972, 20 cancer deaths were reported in Butts County, These, by cancer site, were reported as uterine 3, breast 2, mouth, stomach, colon, rec tum, pancreas, lung and other female organs, all one each, with 4 other deaths attributed to cancer in more isolated areas of the body.
