THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17. 1977
I am not a very educated
person so I don’t really know
how to put this except to tell
the truth and the way I feel
about it, and I have papers to
prove it.
My husband passed away
Nov. 15, 1975.1 tried to draw
disability on his Social
Security since I am totally
disabled to work. He had paid
it for 40 years, only drew it
for five before he died. I went
to Social Security; they
turned me down two times
even though the doctor said I
was totally disabled.
I appealed it and I would
like to give credit to a few
people that helped me
through this. We hear so
much about the bad things
that go on in this country, but
don’t hear enough about the
good things. Most people
think you have to have
money or know some tone to
get help but don’t.
I would like to give credit,
my prayers and thanks to a
few people that helped me:

News
By
Hollis Griggs
The Men’s Basketball
League was cancelled this
year due to the fuel crisis.
Everyone cooperated with
the Recreation Department
in this decision. Before the
cancellation decision some 80
members had registered for
the league.
The Youth Basketball
League has not been can
celled, at this time. The
Recreation Board believes
that warmer weather will
soon allow a continuation.
This year was to be the
biggest year since the
Recreation Department took
over activities from the Van
Deventer Foundation. We
have the enthusiasm, partici
pants and coaches. We are
merely awaiting the go
ahead from school officials
for the use of the gym.
Without heat, of course.
The Recreation Depart
ment will resume all activ
ities this week. The activities
include the Jacks and Jills
Square Dance Club, Weight
Watchers and Women’s
China Painting, the only
stipulation being that there
will be no heat, whatsoever in
the building.
Director Griggs adds that
the Recreation Department
has cooperated fully with
local officials concerning the
still existing fuel crisis and
we will continue to do so. The
participants we have are
eager to resume their
activities, knowing that they
will be without heat. He also
added that the Recreation
Department has been operat
ing on reduced office hours
with limited heat in the office
area and we will continue to
do so.

have never met these people

and felt like I couldn’t go on
Mrs. Shanks always tried to
cheer me up and give me

letter is to let people know
that they have Congressmen
and Senators that will help
them understand how to go
about getting help. Also give
you all the help and support
they can. All you have to do
is get in touch with them. I
just hope this letter will help

LIVING WATER
By Rev. David Beville
Pastor, Jackson
Presbyterian Church
One of the most refreshing
sights I’ll ever remember
occurred one day as a group
of us were climbing along
some of the steep trails in
the mountains of north
Georgia. We started to climb
with much excitement and
anticipation. But as the hours
went by, the excitement
turned into exhaustion. The
host sun began to blaze down
intensely as our canteens
emptied. I felt my feet and
legs telling me in no
uncertain terms they
couldn’t go on much longer.
It was about that time we
began to hear the faint sound
of rushing water in the
distance. Climbing for sev
eral hundred more feet, we
feasted our eyes on the
beauty spot of the day. A
rushing waterfall just a few
yards from us was running
down the mountainside. As it
roared, its cooling mist
silently moved across our
sunburned faces. Its waters
soothed our dry throats and
eased the pain of our sore
legs and feet. I have never
been more thankful for water
in all my life.
This experience again and
again reminds me of Jesus
Christ, the living water of our
lives. Jesus is like an ever
flowing waterfall that renews
our tired spirits and eases
our troubled minds.
Sometimes life is kind of
like climbing up a hill when
we are really tired. Life
becomes only work and toil
with very little meaning in it.
But just like that waterfall
refreshed and renewed us
that day, so Jesus Christ can
put excitement and anew
refreshment in our lives.
When we are thirsty for a
new life and anew start, we
need only put our trust in
Him and drink of His word. It
can work wonders. I invite
you, if you haven’t, to let
Him come into your life. I
invite you to be renewed by
drinking of the living water.
