Newspaper Page TextWilliam Mclntosh Chapter, D.A.R. Observes Constitution Week Constitution Week was observed by the William Mclntosh Chapter NSDAR at the regular September meet ing held in the Chapter Club House on Saturday, the 18th, at 3 p.m. In presiding the Regent, Mrs. Annadawn W. Edwards, opened the meeting with the DAR Ritual, led by the Chaplain, Mrs. Edith F. Echols, including prayer, the Pledge to the Flag and the American’s Creed, and the singing of America with Mrs. Gladys K. Wilson at the piano. The president general’s message given by Mrs. Evelyn M. Nix brought to the membership’s attention “Patriotism” as one of the objectives of the National Society since its founding, and the importance of observing Constitution Week. The Declaration of Independ ence was the instrument of our freedom, but the Consti tution is the guarantee of our American way of life. We are to remember our theme for the year. “Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.” (Proverbs 22:28) Mrs. Edwards gave a full report of the business session held by the board on September 15th. Minutes of the May meeting which summarized the work of the past year and marked the installation of the officers to serve the beginning term were read by the secretary, Mrs. Elizabeth S. O’Neal. In giving the financial report, Miss Eloise Beau champ, treasurer, reminded members that October is the month for payment of dues. Using quotes from an address given on Defense night before the 85th Conti nental Congress NSDAR by the president of Rockford College, John A. Howard, entitled “Our Sacred Honor”, the Defense chair man emphasized the responsibility of today’s citizen in keeping alive the ideals of ' our founding fathers, who paid the supreme sacrifice to protect NEWS from your’ PHARMACIST J by t)anny Hoard Comments on health would not be complete without at least a mention about face lift (plastic) surgery. It’s not unusual to hear an aging person, especially a woman, comment that she would like to have a “face lift” to do away with wrinkles and sagging muscles on the face. This operation is referred to as cosmetic surgery since the only reason for having the surgery is to change your looks. Some types of plastic surgery, such as nose reconstruction are usually permanent, but surgery to correct wrinkles usually has to be repeated after a few years. So, you see, there is much to be considered before making a decision to have a face lift. Changing your looks is not our business, but serving your pharmaceutical needs is our line. Bring your prescriptions to us for fast, accurate compounding. PHONE 775-7424 PARRISH DRUG CO. JACKSON, G7\ their “Sacred Honor’’. We are urged by Dr. Howard to defend our society by a revival of such courage, to keep alive the elements within the colonial concept believed to be indispensable to the existence of respons ible freedom namely; self discipline, self-reliance, re spect for law, and respect for private property. A display including a copy of the famous painting by Howard C. Christy, “The Signing of the Constitution”, with an attached list of the 39 signers, a full size copy of the Constitution, and placards of the preamble to the Constitu tion, the American’s Creed each bearing colorful Ameri can Flags, brightened the day’s program material. In continuing the program to include the constitutional powers delegated to the Legislative and Executive branches of government, the chairman listed specific powers of each, in addition to certain powers reserved to the respective states in providing for the common defense. In completing the program, excerpts from the address given before the Bi-Centennial Continental Congress NSDAR, by the President of the United States, Gerald R. Ford, who emphasized the power and strength prescribed by our unexcelled document of government were mentioned. His closing remarks, -- “The freedom and security of the United States must always be preserved —lt is the most powerful nation on earth, indeed, in all history. May America be kept strong militarily, economically, and morally.” PERSONAL Mr. and Mrs. Richard Milam moved last Friday and Saturday into their newly purchased home at 153 McCaskill Drive, their many friends will be interested to know. Misses Mary and Jessie Sesions and Mrs. Julian Berry spent several days last week in Sandersville, being called there upon the death of their brother, William W. Sessions. Mr. Hans Bloom, a former resident of Jackson, moved last week to Toccoa where he will make his home. Last year we brought you ♦2,329,650,000 worth of automobiles. You’ve got a lot riding on us. A lot of cars rode our rails in 1975. We estimate that themanufac turers’value for autos weshipped amounted to " $2,329,650,000. And when you put Southern’s shipments together with all other rail roads, you’ve got 76% of all the autos and auto parts Americans buy. Why do the automotive industry and so many other industries ship by rail? They know it’s usually the most economical way to go. Consider these figures for the thousands of things shipped by rail. The average cost per-ton-mile by truck is three times as much as by rail.
