Methodists
Will Meet
In Griffin
Delegates and officers from
the local United Methodist
Churches will participate in the
Griffin District Conference and
Rally at Griffin First United
Methodist Church on Decem
ber 2nd. 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.
Workshops for leaders in the
local churches will be held
from 4:00 - 6:00p.m. Following
the meal, a service of worship
will be held. A 150-voice youth
choir, under the direction of
Tom Roberts, will present
special music and lead the
congregation in singing. Dr.
Loran Young, Southeastern
Director of Fellowship of
Athletes, will be the guest
speaker.
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

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.
Persons interested in regis
tering for the classes may do so
by calling C. E. Tucker at
775-5573 or Johnny Rivers at
775-3010. The public is invited
to attend a class without cost or
obligation to watch and
observe the square dances and
then decide if they wish to
enroll in the classes which will
cost sls for ten lessons.
the President to report to
Congress within 48 hours after
U. 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. May God bless each of
you. - The Family of Lawrence
Morgan.

20 Deaths
Here Laid
To Cancer
Many persons feel that
statistics are for the birds, but
figures don’t lie! The grim
truth is that at the present rate,
2,700 Butts countians now
living will have cancer. 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.
The encouraging fact is that
of the 2,700 county residents
now living who will contract
cancer, 1,350 or at least
one-half of these, can be saved
with early diagnosis and early
treatment.
Persons who might wish to
make a contribution to the
American Cancer Society or
who wish additional informa
tion about any phase of this
dread disease may write the

Barnett's
Bridge Is
Closed
Barnett’s Bridge has been
closed due to an accident,
according to information re
leased this week by Billy
Sutton, Clerk of the Butts
County Commissioners.
Although facts are meager,
Mr. Sutton said that a cement
truck went over the bridge
Wednesday, Nov. 7, springing

completed it will be open again
