Gordon Offers Course In
Western Square Dancing
Wanted: Swinging part
ners to join a western
square dancing class, that is.
Twenty-four couples will
be able to participate in a
basic course in western
square dancing being offered
by Gordon Junior College in
October.
Basic introduction to
square dancing will begin on
Oct. 12 and meet every
Tuesday for eight weeks
from 7 until 9 p.m. in
Sunnyside on School Rd. The
course fee is $25.00 per
couple. Two advanced
courses to follow up the first
course are being planned.
The entire three-part series
is part of Gordon’s non-credit
continuing education pro
gram.
Rhett Glover of Griffin,
class instructor, said that the
introductory class will teach
basic positions and figures
and accustom couples to the
dance music.
Glover said he and his wife,
Shirley, became interested in
square dancing as a hobby
seven years ago because they
could participate in it
together. “There are a lot of
hobbies but not many that
couples can enjoy together.
Plus square dancing has
health benefits because it
helps limber muscles and
joints. It is also a good
mental escape from daily
problems. You’re busy think
ing about the dance figures
and don’t have time to worry
about problems.”
The Glovers are members
of the Metropolitan Atlanta
Square Dancing Association
and the Georgia State Square
Dancers Association. Glover
is a member of the Georgia
Callers Association and a
graduate of the International
Callers College in Brevard,
N. C.
He has instructed classes
in Griffin and workshops in
Barnesville and Jackson.
The Glovers were one of four
couples selected by MGM
Studios last year to film a
segment of the television
series “Movin’ On” in
Schroeder, Mrs. Douglas
Brooks, Mrs. F. B. Mason,
Larry Brindley, Sr. Jackie
Ayers, Jess Hightower.
A
NEWS from your i
PHARMACIST t
by
“Dishpan hands” are no
fun! Just ask any housewife.
This is a general term to
cover irritation of the hands,
usually caused by over
exposure of the hands to
household detergents. Gen
erally, this is a mild
condition, resulting in a
redness of the hands.
However, cracking results in
some of the more serious
cases. A doctor should be
consulted in these severe
cases.
Regular use of a good hand
cream or lotion, available at
this pharmacy, will usually
alleviate the milder cases of
dishpan hands. Couple this
skin care with the use of
rubber gloves and your
hands should be looking
young again. Good rubber
gloves are also available, at
this drug store.
In fact, we have all sorts of
lotions, notions, and cos
metics. Make this your one
stop shopping center for all
your pharmaceutical needs.
When illness strikes, bring
your prescriptions here for
fast, accurate compounding.

The Explorer Scout Post

been on the ball this summer.
They have worked for the
community, WJGA, and the
Butts County Association for
Beautification through Con
servation committee.
During the month of June,
the Explorers helped the
8.C.A.8.C. by having a
clean-up of roads through-out
the community concentrat
ing in the Jackson Lake
Area. There were two social
events during that month: a
campout at Trina Smith’s
house and a Dee Ford Dance
at the Armory.
As the summer progress
ed, the Explorers were a part
of the Bicentennial celebra
tion in Butts County. The
Explorers tried to see that no
one stepped on the flowers
and sold soft drinks for the
City Hall. A trip was also
taken to Six Flags on a
Sunday. The Explorers all
had a good time.
In the month of August, the
Explorers played a major
role in both election night
coverages. The explorers
have been highly commend
ed in all areas that were
covered and W.J.G.A. is very
proud of the Post for their
work, efforts, behavior, and
enthusiam during the elec
tion night coverages.
The most recent of all
Griffin. They have done
exhibition dancing at Calla
way Gardens in Pine
Mountain and Perimeter
Mall in Atlanta.

THE RUMORS OF HIS DEMISE ARE GREATLY EXAGGERATED-says Georgia
Congressman Jack Flynt, shown here hard at work despite his recent confinement at
Bethesda Naval Hospital. “This is the first time I’ve missed a closing week of Congress in 23
years, so naturally I’m disappointed,” said the representative from the Sixth District. Flynt
was admitted to the hospital last week suffering chest pains, but his physicians have found no
permanent heart damage. Flynt, now recuperating at his home, vowed he’ll take the
campaign trail against Rupublican opponent Newt Gingrich “as soon as they’ll turn me
loose” and said he expected to win a 13th term in November. Shown with the Congressman at
Bethesda are his wife, Patty, and legislative aide Woody Jones.
projects was a bake sale on
the square and a car wash at
Giant Mart, September 11th.
Both projects were a success
and the Post wishes to
express their appreciation to
the community for support
ing them in their projects.
In the September 2nd
meeting, Terri Dodson was
elected as the new treasurer,
and Brian Jones was elected
to membership.
At the September 16th
meeting, it was decided that
a Constitution will be drawn
up and that attendance to
meetings, social events and
community services will be
taken more seriously. Randy
Rivers, adult advisor, was
present.
Special thanks go to Mrs.
Phyllis Duke, Miss Dolly
Duke, Tommy Raney, Mr.
and Mrs. Fred Cavender, and
Randy Rivers for their help
and support to this Post
through-out the summer.
