Mac and I will be married 12 years in
September. We have four children and an excellent
family relationship.
Mac has been in business for 14 years and I
have been his secretary and bookkeeper for the past
9 years. Farming and operating a business is a task
for anyone. But beginning at the age of 17 is
certainly a challenge. I have seen him budget a
business when the finances were low and work day
and night to make it prosper. He has worked
physically and mentally and made important
decisions under pressure, but never neglected to
consider all parties involved. I know he will uphold
these principles and work just as hard for you as
your County Commissioner.
Mac and I were both raised in Butts County. It
is a great place to live and we are proud of the
county and its people. If it is God's will, we want our
children to grow up here and make it their home.
Mac realizes the county has got to be in a position to
enhance industry which in turn would offer good
paying jobs that will entice young people to stay.
The Commissioner's decisions, whether it
pertains to road maintenance, taxes, job hiring,
grants to organizations, purchasing equipment,
hospital, Welfare and Health Department, affects
all of us. I know Mac will work hard with your best
interest in mind.

It has been estimated that
increased population in the
Atlanta area by 1990 will call
for the establishment of 50
new Presbyterian churches.
A major thrust of this drive is
to secure funds to purchase
land, support the organiza
tion of new congregations
and assist with construction
of new churches. Another
campaign emphasis is being
placed on the support of inner
city churches, as changing
population trends increase
their needs.
The traditional ar
tistry of Bell-Crest
craftsmen is evident
in this superbly
styled bridal duet.
Just one of many
from our exciting
collection.

Pre-School
Immunizations
Are Required
Don’t let all the furor over
the swine flu vaccine make
you forget to get regular
immunizations for your pre
schooler, says Dr. John F.
McCroan, Director of Epi
demiology in the Georgia
Department of Human Re
sources.
Georgia law requires that
children entering kindergar
ten or first grade have an
immunization certificate
from a physician or from the
county health department. If,
for some reason, circum
stances prevent parents from
having their child immunized
before school starts, a
120-day grace period is
allowed to begin the vaccina
tions.
Required immunizations
are: polio, measles, dip
theria, tetanus, whooping
cough, and reubella.
“Immunization guards
against contagious diseases
and prevents epidemics in
schools and communities. We
recommend that parents
start their child’s immuniza
tions at two months of age,”
says McCroan.
A private physician or the
county public health depart
ment doctor or nurse can
administer each vaccine
when the child is the right
age.
“There are many young
sters between the ages of six
months and six years who
are not protected from
contagious diseases because
they have not been im
munized,” says McCroan.
“The reason may be that the
reduced number of cases of
these diseases in recent
years has deceived parents
into believing that they are
no longer dangerous. The
fact is that no child is safe
from a disease unless he is
immunized.”

COOKWARE CARE
Pots and pans come in a
variety of materials; as a
result, they can cook food
differently and they require
different care, too. But it
really isn’t necessary to con
sult a cookware directory
every time you cook. Try
these basic rules to keep
your pots and pans in good
condition:
