OUT ON A— LIMB by Bo McLeod How sweet it is to hear President Johnson “declare war on poverty,” in his State of the Union, address to the Congress this week. I feel like I’ve fought the stuff singile-handedly for too long a time, and I’m glad to have a little help. How the president plans to lick the condition remains to be seen, but I hope he realizes he’s taking on a worthy foe. The trouble with fighting poverty is that it never knows when it’s licked, but you do, and it’s often . And a mere “cold war” won’t whip it, Mr. President. Senator Goldwater has de clared himself a candidate, for the Republican nomination for president. This makes two of them, Barry and Nelson, who have talked themselves into running. Goldwater is the first one* I’ve seen who entered a race: and started running with a foot in a cast. Wonder if there’s an omen in this? —o— Sanders sounds like he means it when he says he wants Georgia to have better schools. And like it or not, he sounds like he means it when he speaks of more taxes a’coming. Better education for our children and their children is more important than ever. The next few generations will need all the ‘book learning’ they can get, to be able to keep up with how far in debt their forefathers left them. It’s going to cost more to finance our schools, and this is reasonable. But one of these days we’ll frdace . that* last straw on the taxpayer’s weary back, and down it falls. WORK PROGRESSING ON NEW CHURCH Jack Zorn, minister of the Church of Christ, reports that progress continues on the con struction of a building for the newly established Donalson ville church. The building is located on the old drive-in theatre site on the Marianna highway. The church bought the seven acre tract of land and has re novated the old projecton booth and snack bar building. Much of the work is being done by church members. > Zorn says 60 people have been contributing labor and other things to the project. Worship services started two weeks ago in one of the classrooms. Mark Scott has been ap pointed chairman of the church’s business meetings, and James R. Elliott is serv ing as church treasurer. The interior of the building will be completed within a few weeks. The front has been designed by Claude Peacock, professor of Art at the Uni versity of Alabama, Zorn said. Because Evangelist Zorn is also preaching twice at the Hentown Church of Christ on Sunday, the schedule for the local church is : Sundays, 9:45 to 10:30 a. m., Bible classes; 10:30 to 11:15 a. m., worship service; 7:30 to 8:30 p. m.*; evening worship. Midweek bible study is held from 7:00 to 8:00 p. m. on Thursdays.
