One of my very close and
warm friends was Miss Moina
Michael, of Athens. She lived
at the Hotel there, and we
spent many happy hours to
gether during the Press In
stitute. We always slipped out
one afternoon and were guests
of the Athens D.A.R. For years
and years we did not miss a
meeting of the D.A.R. for it
met during the Press Institute.
It is a sacred occasion for
us that The American Legion
Auxiliary Department of Geor
gia will hold “The Moina
Michael Memorial Poppy An
chor Dedication” at our First
Methodist Church on Sunday,
April 29th. Miss Moina origi
nated the idea of the poppy as
a memorial] to the men who
had given their lives in war.
She was a gentle, sweet per
son, lovable and kind. She made
her place within the hearts of
all who knew her, She looked
forward to our Press Institutes
and attended many of the lec
tures each year. You will find
a story of the Dedication else

“Sc. Magic” Dancing Revue Friday 7:30 PM
Fowler School To Present
Annual Free Music Program
Pupils of the Fowler School of Recreation will present
their Musical Revue in dancing and tumbling, “Sea Magic,”
at the Newton County High School auditorium, Friday eve
ning at 7:30 o’clock.
Day Sef in
‘Newton County
~ Today is C-Day in Newton
County.
A local task force of 175 men
and women will be part of a
nationwide army of more than
2,000,000 volunteers who will
launch the American Cancer
Society’s annual April Crusade.
“C-Day stands for Conquer
Cancer,” said the Rev. Mr.
Gordon Mann, chairman of the
Newton County Cancer Cru
sade.
“Starting today, velunteers of
the Newton County section of
the American Cancer Society
will call on friends and neigh
bors with the double-barrelled
objective of saving lives now
as well as in the future.”
~ “Every resident in Newton
County can cooperate in this
‘venture,” said the Rev. Mr.
Mann, “by heeding the advice
in the life-saving educational
literature which volunteers will
distribute and by making a gen
erous contribution.”
Right now, half of all cancer
patients who will get cancer
this year could be cured if their
cancers were detected a n d
treated in time, The Rev. Mr.
Mann asserted. “Our immediate
objective is to help save these
lives — an estimated 260,000
men, women and children.”
“The long-range objective,”
he added, “is to save the other
260,000 cancer victims who will
develop cancer this year. Hope
for them rests with scientists
‘who are searching for break
‘throughs that will cure all types
of cancer or perhaps prevent
them.”
“The more money that we can
‘earmark for cancer education,”
[he pointed out, “the more peo

lmoney that can be invested in
lcamcer research, the sooner we
