ment was selected as the theme

ers, and pamphlets are being
made available to every school,
both white and colored, in the
county by the Heath Associa
tion t- stress this theme.
In order to make this pro
gram possible, considerable ex-
I mse has been incurred by the

’ leaders feel that the program is
serving a definite need in the
schools and they wish to ex
press appreciation to those who
are sponsoring the program.
In September the subject for
study was nutrition. Two films,
“Two Little Rats and How They
Grew” and “The School That
Learned to Eat” were shown to
all school children. In October
prevention of the common cold
was stressed. The films shown
were “Confessions of a Cold"
and “Defense Against Invasion.”
This month the health program
has its interest centered on a
study of tuberculosis and the
films being used are “Good-bye,
Mr. Germ” and “Lanakila.”
Methodist Leader

Dr. Edward G. Mackay, Super
intendent of the Decatur-Oxford
District of the North Georgia
Conference, was guest speaker

An alumnus of Emory Col

Declaring that it is a great
time to be alive in this age, he

1 any life work. In addition to
the necessity of making a liv
. ing. everyone should serve hu-
