UPSILON CHAPTER DELTA
KAPPA MEETS
NOVEMBER 15th
Upsilon Chapter of Delta
Kappa Gamma met on
November 15, 1975 at the
Holiday Inn in Griffin with
Pike County members as
hostesses. Forty members
were present.
Martha Elliott, president,
presided at the meeting.
Several chairmen gave re
ports. Julia Elliott, chairman
of Personal Growth and
Services, passed out a
questionnaire which each
member completed about
her own personal growth.
Doris Grant, Community
Services Chairman, asked
members to send cards to the
residents of nursing homes in
the area.
Nell Dale, Professional
Affairs Chairman, intro
duced the speaker, Mrs.
Virginia Shapard, Senator
from the 18th District. Mrs.
Shapard gave a most
interesting talk relating to
education. She stated that
1 her reason for running was
her concern about quality
education. Some of her main
points were:
1. It is the responsibility of
all citizens to pay school tax.
r 2. Those we fail to educate
end up on welfare or in
prison.
3. Retention rate in first
grade is great because many
have not had the advantage
of kindergarten.
4. Dropping 12th grade
because of lack of funds
would be a step backwards.
5. This is the time when
teachers should be profes
sional. Walking out would
upset parents and the public,
and in the long run would
hurt educators. Public
opinion is important.
6. We need cooperation to
change the things we do not
like.
A delicious luncheon was
served the group.

NEWS from yourj
PHARMACIST i
Disease is beyond any
doubt man’s greatest enemy.
It has been thus for
thousands of years.
The Black Plague took
40,000,000 lives. In the Middle
East, Europe and Asia it
spared one person and took
three.
As late as 1918 the great
influenza epidemic killed
1,000.000 people in the U. S.,
and 10.000.000 to 20,000,000
others were killed in all parts
of the world.
Medical science has come
to the aid of man within the
past 4 years. New drugs and
medicines control epidemics
—save lives. We are proud to
be a part of the medical
profession—our job is to see
that you get the medication
your doctor prescribes. Call
us the next time you need a
prescription filled.
