CF Breath Of Life Drive Is Underway Volunteer marchers start ed their canvass of the county last week and will continue through September 30th to assist the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Breath of Life Campaign program. The campaign seeks to raise vital funds for research to find a cure for cystic fibrosis, and for cure and education programs benefit ing children suffering from CF and other lung-damaging diseases, according to Lether McCord, Butts County chair man. Lung diseases are second only to cancer in claiming lives of children, Mrs. McCord said. Cystic Fibro sis, which occurs once in 1600 live births in the United States, is the most serious of all children’s lung diseases, she stated. Almost half of the money raised in the local campaign will remain in the state to benefit children with CF and other lung diseases such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, and bronchiectasis, the chairman said. The remain ing funds collected in Georgia will be distributed through the National CF Foundation, located in At lanta, to help support research for control or cure of CF, a leading genetic killer of children. Lung-damaged children in Butts County are receiving care at CF Centers in Atlanta and Augusta. When the CF Foundation was established in 1955, few children with CF survived past school age. Today 50 percent of all CF affected children can be expected to live past age 18, Mrs. McCord concluded. When a Breath of Life Volunteer calls on you, please be generous. Hun dreds of children need your help so much. Butts Teacher Of Year To Be Named Soon The search for the Butts County school system’s Teacher of the Year has begun, says Supt. J. M. L. Comer, with- nominations being received and a selec tion committee formed. Superintendent Comer re ports that the selection committee, headed by Mrs. Brenda Johnson, will choose, within the next few weeks, a teacher to represent the Butts County school system in the Georgia Teacher of the Year awards program. The winner of that title will represent Georgia in the National Teacher of the Year awards program, sponsored by the Encyclopedia Britan nica Companies, The Ladies’ Home Journal, and the Council of Chief State School Officers. The Southern Educator’s Life Insurance Company, which co-sponsors the Geor gia awards program with the Georgia Department of Edu cation, will present a $750 cash award to the Georgia Teacher of the Year and $250 to the runner-up. In addition, the winners will be honored at a dinner, an overnight stay in Atlanta and will be recognized at the November meeting of the State Board of Education. Teachers will be judged on the basis of instructional effectiveness and originality, special classroom projects and over all philosophy of education, among other qualifications. “The Georgia Teacher of the Year Program gives us an excellent opportunity to recognize teachers through out the state who are making outstanding contributions to the teaching profession,” says Georgia School Superin tendent Charles McDaniel.
