CITIZENSHIP” THEME

DAR. featuring "Good Citi
zenship”. was held Saturday,
the 20th, at the Jackson Club
House at three o’clock.

Ritual, the pledge to the
Flag, the American’s Creed,
led by Chaplain Lois Mc-
Michael, who followed with
the opening prayer.
Mrs. Charlotte Barber
presented Randy Rivers of
Radio Station WJGA. Mr.
Rivers, finding himself so
deeply impressed with the
objectives of the National
Society Daughters of Ameri
can Revolution, as outlined in
the Ritual, arranged his
prepared remarks to en
hance two of the expressed
aims. (1) The Development
of an enlightened opinion;
and (2) to foster a Patriotic
Citizenship.
He expressed amazement
at the lack of today’s high
school youth in their negative
responsiveness and reaction
to the role of government
service, and elected officials
in fulfilling duties as a
representative of the people.
It is not only the duty of
every adult but his greatest
privilege to vote, and in
assuming this responsibility
to exercise with knowledge
able appraisement objective
ly the quality and extent of
official services rendered, as
opposed to derogatory criti
cism.
He concluded with praise
for the local press, the
manner in which the editor
has given coverage to local
questions which provides a
basis for fair and correct
evaluations, upon which all
judgement must be made.
The President General’s
message, read by Mrs.
George Head, announced the
“Good News” for all chap
ters, unanimous approval by
the House Administration
Committee, of the U. S.
House of Representatives for
the Art Plan for the nation’s

the project of this admini
stration, the Mural by Allyn
Cox, “The Bi-Centennial
Tribute to the United States
of America.”
Using the March issue of
The National Defender as her
source of information, Miss
Ruth Phinazee, Defense
chairman, selected some
interesting quotes from the
testimony given by Wm. E.
Colby with respect to the
History of National Intelli
gence activities, for her
report.
Mrs. R. C. Edwards and
Mrs. Kathleen Pinckney
gave their reports as
secretary and treasurer,
respectively.
A nominating committee
was named to select a slate of
officers to be suggested for

JACKSON

THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 1975
It was my pleasure to have
been invited to a chickenque
at Indian Springs State Park
on last Friday evening. This
was an enriched experience
that shall remain in mind for
some time to come. The
occasion was to feed and
sleep members of the Phi
Delta Theta Fraternity from
Georgia Southern College,
Statesboro. These young
people had dedicated their
time and efforts to a walk for
the mentally ill of our state
from Statesboro to Atlanta.
This endeavor alone is
most gratifying, however, to
have fellowshipped with
them was not only gratifying
but a heart warming,
uplifting experience. These
young people were some of
the most enthusiastic, con
genial, well mannered, polite
and friendliest group I have
ever had the pleasure of
meeting. For those of my
generation who look down
their noses at our young
people today and exclaim
with despair “they are going
to the dogs” and on occasion
remark that our college
people are engrossed with
pornographic literature, pills
and pot, may I suggest you
consider: these people re
flect a true application of the
philosophy described by our
Lord in the parable of the
good Samaritan.
With all the things such as
golf, tennis, boating, and all
the other wonderful outdoor
as well as indoor sports and
activities available today,
these people of Phi Delta
Theta chose to take upon
themselves the humble role
of a beggar that they might
offer help and assistance to
our mentally ill. What
compassion! Yet with an
unswerving dedication to
accomplish the fulfillment of
the task at hand these young
people did so with a spirit of
fun and excitement.
May I also take this
opportunity to offer sincere
thanks to Frank McMichael
(chief chef), men of the
Indian Springs Baptist
Church Sunday School, some
of Flovilla’s leading citizens,
Park Supt. Taylor and all
others who participated in
this event. This group not
only fed their guests but also
provided sleeping quarters
and donated in excess of S9O
to the cause.
I returned home Friday
night with a renewed
conviction that this young
generation shall do well for
their state and country and if
these people of Phi Delta
Theta are any example of
what our colleges are
producing then I have a
feeling they shall leave
society in a much better
condition than they found it.
Sincerely,
W. A. Cook
P.S. I am grateful also for
the reception our people of
Jackson gave to their visiting
group. One of the members of
Phi Delta Theta told me
Saturday morning Jackson
was one of the warmest
towns they had visited.

IN MEMORIAM
In loving memory of R. C.
(Pete) Lunsford, who passed
away twelve years ago, April
21, 1964.
Only God in heaven knows
the loneliness that we feel

Since the one we loved so
dearly, was called home to
rest that day.
Twelve years of grief and
sorrow is placed on each face
now and then,
Dear God, help us bear the
cross,
And meet you at the end.
Sadly missed by Family.
