JHS Red Devilettes
To Region Play-offs
The Jackson Red Devilet
tes had a slow first half in
their first sub-regional game
last Friday night in Man
chester against the Blue
Devilettes, with a half-time
score of 25-17. They came
back strong in the third
quarter by outscoring Man
chester 30-9. From that point
in the game, they glided to an
overwhelming victory of
73-31.
The leading scorer for the
Red Devilettes was senior
Janis Ward with 24 points,
followed closely by sopho
more Sylvia Sims with 22

the final score were senior
Charlotte White with eight
points, sophomore Danita
Crowder with six points,
juniors Shirley Patterson and
Ruby Brown with five points
each, sophomore Frances

freshman Jackie Andrews
with one point.
This put the Red Devilettes

usual performance, they still
proved which was the

Sylvia Sims, 20 points; Janis

Family Planning
Clinic Sponsored
By Piedmont ACAA
The Piedmont Area Com
munity Action Agency is
sponsoring a program called
Family Planning. It is
geared toward low income
families in Butts and Newton
Counties Ed Walker, Execu
tive Director and Mrs.
Bertha White, Family Plann
ing Coordinator provided the
following information about
the program: the program
will offer family planning
clinics at the Butts and
Newton County health cen
ters. These clinics will
provide physical examina
tions, counseling on birth
control and pre and post
natal care. In addition, Mrs.
White will involve herself in
community outreach and
follow-up activities.
During the fall of 1975, the
agency sponsored a very
successful five day seminar
on Family Living, covering
the various aspects of family
life. Mrs. White stated
she has observed that,
“ . . . one of the main
problems that young people
have is an inability to relate
positively with their parents
on the subject of courtship
and sex. Often young girls
get pregnant, not knowing
how it could have been
avoided and unfortunately,
are unable to talk to their
parents about their prob
lem.” During the Family
Planning clinics counseling
is provided on family
structure and birth control.
Other programs offered by
the Agency include Com
munity Service Centers,.
Headstart, Aging, Nutrition,
and Comprehensive Employ
ment Training (Ceta). The
central office is located at 163
Covington Street. For infor
mation regarding the Family
Planning program contact

This ancient oak, all gnarled with time,
Lifts limbs of rhythm ever new
And sways with cadences of rhyme!
What strength and beauty in this form
What heavenly music in this breeze,
As winter winds do now perform
Their favorite bare boughs’ symphonies!
