Weekly
Devotional

Jackson Presbyterian
Church
LONELINESS
I have read several articles
recently that said we in
America are being swept by
an “epidemic of loneliness.”
Many counselling centers
have seen a tremendous rise
in requests for help. In many
cases the primary problem is
loneliness.
We are all familiar with the
pain of loneliness. We are
lonely when we lose someone
we love. We can be lonely in
our family life. We can be
lonely sitting at our desk at
the office. We can even be
lonely in a large group of
people. Loneliness touches
our lives no matter who we
are or where we have been.
Whether we are married,
single, widowed, divorced,
young, or old, we know the
depths of loneliness.
A clue to helping us deal
with these pains is found in
Psalm 31. The Psalmist said
that he was so alone that he
cried out to God for help. God
heard him and met his needs.
I believe the key here is
reaching out.
Sometimes I feel like we in
America have fenced our
lives in. We are keeping to
ourselves and not reaching
out to others around us. It’s
precisely when we think we
don’t need others that we find
ourselves the most lonely.
But reaching out to God and
others helps break the bonds
of loneliness that grip our
lives. This means getting
involved with other people
and asking for God’s help.
Too often when we are lonely
we wait for others to make
the first move. Actually what
is needed is for us to make
the first move and reach out
to them. Our Lord was a good
example for us. Jesus
reached out to people all the
time and touched their lives.
We can reach out and touch
the lives of people around us
too. I think then we will
discover that the pain of
loneliness which grips our
lives will lose its power.
Early Symposiums
Originally, the word
“symposium” meant
“drinking together.” In an
cient Greece, a symposium
was a catered party at
which from three to nine
guests would eat and drink
and be entertained by dan
cers, musicians, jugglers
and courtesans.
INVITATION TO BID

1 1973 Ford Torino

Youths Must Apply Now For
Summer Jobs With The YCC
Young people from 15 to 18
years old who would like
interesting outdoor work this
summer are urged to pick up
applications as soon as
possible for the Youth
Conservation Corps (YCC),
Joe D. Tanner, Commis
sioner of Georgia’s Depart
ment of Natural Resources,
said today.
All applications must be
received in Washington, D.
C., no later than March 15
this year.
Members of the YCC will
received a salary of $2.30 an
hour for a 30-hour work week.
The work camps of the YCC,
sponsored by the U.S.
Departments of Agriculture
and Interior, will operate for
eight weeks, from mid-June
to mid-August. Examples of
work projects may include
building trails, planting
trees, constructing camp
grounds and picnic areas,
and planning wildlife habi
tats.
In Georgia there are 19
camps, located throughout
the state. Four are residen
tial or 7-day “live-in” camps
while 15 are non-residential
or day camps. These camps
are located in national parks,
national historic sites, local
recreation departments,
schools and other education
al centers. Examples: Fern
bank Science Center in
Atlanta, Piedmont Wildlife
Refuge in central Georgia,
Cumberland Island National
Seashore on the south
Georgia coast, and Tallulah
Falls School in north
Georgia.
Purposes of the YCC are to
maintain and develop the
natural resources of the
nation, to provide an oppor
tunity for young men and
women to understand and
appreciate the natural en
vironment, and to offer
gainful, useful, healthy em
ployment to young people.
YCC application forms and
further information may be
picked up from high school
guidance counselors or state
employment offices.
And don’t forget that all
applications must be receiv
ed in Washington, D. C. no
later than March 15, 1977.
State Wildlife
Is Temporarily
Protected,
A bill just passed by
Georgia’s General Assembly
and signed into law by
Governor George Busbee will
protect the state’s game and
fish until the General
Assembly enacts comprehen
sive legislation, Joe D.
Tanner, Commissioner of
Department of Natural Re
sources, announced today.
The bill, admittedly a
stop-gap measure, accom
plishes three major objec
tives. It prevents the taking
of big game: deer, bear,
turkey; it establishes closed
days for shad fishing in
coastal streams, and it
provides for its own expira
tion on March 15 of this year.
Commissioner Tanner ex
pressed his appreciation of
the action of the General
Assembly and the Governor.
He said, “The measure
assures that our wildlife
programs won’t stumble.
With the Governor and the
General Assembly providing
the strong back up that they
have demonstrated, we aim
to keep our wildlife resources
growing for the benefit of all
Georgians today and tomor
row.” ■
Teenagers Get
Driving Tips,
Also Drinking
When your teenager’s
world expands so that it
might include drinking and
driving, it’s time for serious
action on your part. Talk
with your adolescent about
drinking, and about drinking
and driving. Thousands of
teenagers are in accidents
that involve alcohol. And,
this can happen whether your
son or daughter is drinking or
not. Riding with someone
who has been drinking can
put your child in real danger.
The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administra
tion has put together a
booklet of tips that have
helped others in talking with
teenagers about drinking and
driving. For your free copy
of How to Talk to Your
Teenager About Drinking
and Driving, send a postcard
to the Consumer Information
Center. Dept. 515 E, Pueblo,
Colorado 81009.
First, be honest with
yourself. What kind of an
example do you set about
drinking and driving? If in
the past you have used bad
judgment, admit it to your
youngsters, but vow to do
better.
When you talk with your
teenager, express your feel
ings honestly, and encourage
your son or daughter to do
the same. Talk with your
youngster about ideas on
what can be done when a
friend who has had too much
to drink is going to drive.
Can he or she offer to drive
the car for the friend
(assuming your child has not
had too much to drink?)
Can they both ask to stay at
the party-giver’s home for
the night, notifying all
parents of their decision?
Talk with your youngsters
about making an agreement
so they'll know of your full
support if they get into a tight
situation.
Agree that if your teen will
call you-at any hour, in any
situation where they have
had too much to drink, or if a

Y
PET of the WEEK
by
Dale Whiten
Jay and Mallory Bentley,
who live on Mulberry Street
in Jackson, have a pet dog
which they named after one
of their favorite “Southern”
foods-Cornbread.
Cornbread .is “mostly
Collie” and is seven months
old. Jay and Mallory, whose
parents are Mr. and Mrs.
Jack Bentley, think he is a
good playmate, and they like
to wrestle with him or play
tether ball with him, or
Cornbread likes to pester
them while they are watch
ing television with attempts
at continuing the playing of
which he never seems to tire.
And Cornbread never
seems to get tired of any
activity. Mrs. Bentley says
he is an “incredible bundle of
energy,” and he does indeed
look the part as he bounds
through the house with
friend who drove has had too
much to drink, you will come
and get them, any place, no*
questions asked and no
argument, or you will pay for
a taxi to bring them home.
Emphasize that your con
cern is for your teenager’s
life, not the car.
Remember that talking
with your teenagers about
this is not a single, one-time
discussion. When they’ve
acted responsibly in a
situation, show your ap
proval. And keep the chan
nels of communication open
so that your son or daughter
feels comfortable in coming
to you with any problem.

Assert Yourself
Regardless of age. if you
want better mental health,
higher levels of self-esteem
and more harmonious inter
personal relationships, then
assert yourself. One who is
self-assertive can express
himself honestly, achieve
his goals, make his own
choices and be responsi
ble for them. That’s what
makes a self-assertive per
son feel good about himself.
On the other hand, the sub
missive or aggressive per
son usually isn’t really very
happy with himself. He
manages to find someone to
blame for his decisions and
shifts responsibility in his
own behavior to someone
else. Rationalization is his
common defense.

Cornbread seems to relish.
Though he is aggressive,
Cornbread’s playfulness
makes him quite likeable,
and he makes new friends
rather easily. And his
preferences for things to eat
are not exacting--“He will
eat anything, even raw
rutabagas,” says Mrs. Bent
ley.
Both aggressive and sub
missive behavior can read
ily be seen in children. Sub
missive children may sit
and cry and make no effort
to recover their losses. Like
the aggressive child, the
submissive one finds others
to blame for his failures.
Adults often play the same
games blaming, ducking
responsibility, criticizing,
shifting accountability for
behavior over to the others,
and so on.
But the self-assertive per
son, although he makes
mistakes, is willing to say
he’s wrong and to change if
necessary. He also stands up
and defends his behavior if
he believes he’s right. He
doesn’t need or want to
blame others for what he
does.
