FOR REGISTERING
FOR STATE ELECTIONS
Attorney General Eugene Cook
has advised the Board of Registrars
of all counties in Georgia that July
Ist is the last day to qualify for
voting in the remaining elections to
be held in this State this year.
All persons who were qualified to
vote in the County Primary, held
last March, will of course, be quali

December.
Chairman James S. Peters, of the
State Democratic Executive Com

60 percent of the people in Georgia
who are eligible to vote were ac
tually registered, and that less than
50 percent of those actually regis
tered took the trouble to vote in the
1946 State Primary. A few days ago
President Truman, in a speech de
livered on his western tour, said
that only about 30 per cent of the
registered voters in the United
States actually voted in the General
Election held in November of 1946.

METHODIST CHILDREN
CLOSE VACATION
BIBLE SCHOOL
The entertainment giyen at the
First Methodist church Sunday
morning by members of the Prima
ry and Junior departments, bring
ing to a close the Vacation Bible
School, was intensely interesting.
The performance of the children
evidenced that they had been care
fully taught and well trained, and
this was especially demonstrated in
the display of handiwork completed
by the children.
The ladies who had charge of this
work are to be congratulated and
commended. All tn echildren did
well their parts and their conduct
commended. All the children did
in perfect taste. What could have
been more fascinating and thrilling
than the boys and girls marching
in perfect order to their places be
hind the altar, or the dignity of the
little boys as they occupied their
seats provided for them. The speech
es and songs were entertaining and
thrilling. The large audience thor
oughly enjoyed this beautiful and
magnetic performance. It has been
a long time since the congregation
of this church witnessed an enter
tainment that equaled, much less
surpassed, the one Sunday given by
these young Church School Stu
dents.

Family Life promotes wholesome
development. It provides feelings of
personal worth. “Accept children as j
human beings,” said Miss McAlpine,
“Do not talk down to them. Create
situations to occasionally make each
one feel important. Provide space
for each person’s things where they
can be undisturbed. Provide space
where each one can have moments
alone. There must be loving rela
tionships in a family. Parents must
set a good example and not disa
gree in the presence of children.
Make friends welcome and permit
each family member occasionally to
entertain a guest or a group and,
encourage wholesome recreation.
