VOLUME 39 — NUMBER 11 Judge Thomas Addressed PT A On Juvenile Delinquency By Mrs. Edna Adams A community meeting on Ju venile Delinquency sponsored by the Hortense PTA was held in the Hortense School auditorium on Wednesday evening. All of the churches combined with the group to sponsor the event. Rev. Jimmy Strader, pastor of the Satilla Baptist Church, led the devotional. Miss Carolyn Ro well played for the congrega tional singing. Mrs. Hub Rauler son, chairman of the program, presented the speaker, judge Douglas Thomas, of Jesup. Judge Thomas stated that in the history of civilization times have changed and schools have changed but people are no dif ferent. They are still human be ings put here for a purpose and most of them fulfill the purpose. There is a greater demand for education than ever before, and it is costing the state $5,000 for each high school diploma present ed to a child. However, tnat high school education is worth $50,000 in added earnings during a life time. Our past has been a great struggle. We have built a great country mainly by strong mus cles and it has presented us a heritage of which we may be proud. Today is a far cry from the era of patriot’s blood left in their footprints. Today we must have comfort, but nothing has ever equalled those who whipped Cornwallis. A look at the future of splitting atoms and nuclear fission assures us that it will take intelligence and skill to cope with the many changes and high tensions. Community life has changed and created new problems. Small towns have consolidated, wars have created a restlessness for new places, rural areas have be come urbanized. In spite of the changes, howev?" humanity is still the most valuable thing on earth and children are our most precious possessions. And there are .more of them. They are more intelligent and healthier, too. In the past children were kept busy within the home, but this has also been affected by change. Young children are like balls of clay and they become what we mold them into. Some parents do not realize this. Our future leaders — governors, presidents, teachers, lawyers, doctors, judgr es, — are in school today. They are our children today. Home is the foundation of ci vilization. Loving, congenial peo ple within a house make it a home. One of the main reasons for delinquency is parents using their children as pawns between them. Next to the home the school is important. School pre pares people to become good church members. All three are important and when one fails to function, bad results. You have heard it said that people have been born equal. They have been born equal in so far as the right to be good law abiding citizens with certain rights. In nervous make-up, in intellect, in ambitions and in many other ways, people are not equal. The early settlers of our coun try were willing to die for the NVITING THE UNDERTAKER- a ——— v x7^%y if W * ■ > iff smCKw^' ;ww*%sMw^jSff ; ^- ; ’ •\’ r '‘ . t* r-A'... -*?hst%, ...'-- f - 7 ' --, a- J: •.' • •‘^ * 1 '“^ ; - '■■'■ jsg&r t —J LggA^g^jgjgggagggtamgjjj——,_ •>- ® V-—W ~ B’^^Wt~--aB^®MRJS* i~~ Permit junior to stand with SI A»s little no^m next To the S jjM ==£[ u/indshi«ld.

Some or ganization has issued a Child ren’s Bill of Rights. It includes such rights as affection of par ents, intelligent guidance, under standing, food, clothing and shel ter, educational opportunity, con structive discipline, wholesome recreation, and good adult ex ample. Are children being treated fairly when they are not pre pared for an uncertain future? Is it too much to expert from parents that they know where their children are and what they are doing? Is it asking too much of parents that they socialize some with their children ? It is alarming when we read that the crime rate last year in creased eight per cent, that 75 | percent of the inmates in Georgia ' prisons are under 25 years old and that 75 percent of the bro ken homes are caused by drink ing. Judge Thomas recommended that families stay close together and to place more importance on the children than on the family car. The auto is man made but the children are God made. Lyons - Rowell Miss Faye Lyons, daughter of Mrs. C. P. Lyons, became the bride of Heyward Rowell, son of Mrs. Mathew Rowell in a double ring ceremony at the home of Rev. and Mrs. Lester Edgy at six o’clock P. M. on Thursday, March 12, with Rev. Edgy performing the rites. Miss Willeta Morgan of Nahun ta was maid of honor to the bride and Jimmy Stewart of Alma was best man to the groom. The bride was attired in a white dress and wore a blue or chid and carried a white Bible. Immediately following the wedding a reception was held at the Edgy home. Mrs. Jimmy Ste wart of Alma and Mrs. J. P. Moreland of Brunswick assisted in serving at the reception. Present at the wedding and reception were: Mr. and Mrs. James Mason and daughter, Ma ry, Miss Karrol Kitching of Na hunta; Mr. and Mrs. Dean Lee, Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Moreland and two children, Mrs. J. P. More land Sr., of Brunswick; and Mrs. Mathew Rowell and children, Martha Nell, Joyce, Herbert and Marke, Wendell Rozier and Mrs. Joe Smith of Hortense.
