others to watch for the danger sig
nals. We should have thorough
check-ups at least once each year.
Do not go to your physician and
say, “I want a check-up”. We were
warned by one of the State’s finest
physicians at the State Cancer
Meeting, that Physicians are
busy, far too busy, and unless you
say give me that Pap test also;
X-rays, rectum examinations etc.,
they seldom go into all this. So
ask for it! Be sure you are alright,
for the life you save by doing
this could be yours.
The Mayor of Covington has set
a fine example for each of us to
follow. He has been to Newton
County Hospital and had an X
ray of his lungs. Will you follow
his example, but do even more.
Have all the other tests mention
ed above.
Lives can be saved. I told you
of the young man, I think, whose ,
voice, I noticed was getting hoars
er each time I saw him. “I used
to sing in the choir”, he said. . .
“but I don’t know what’s the mat
ter, I just get hoarser and hoarser, 1
so I can’t sing any more.” It took
us two weeks NAGGING, “like
a wife,” at him. Sure enough he •
had cancer of the throat, but HE •
is a well man today, and has been
for several years because he went. ‘
So, we want you to, not get ’
“scared" to death at all the can
cer news. . .we want you to get a i
check-up and LIVE. The life you I
save may be your own!
The sad news came to us that 1
our good friend, General Robert
Travis, of Savannah, brother of
the late D. Travis, of Covington |
died this week, and was buried
Wednesday. He was a brilliant per- j
son, a good friend, and a genial
host. We shall miss him. We can- ;
not think of his not being in Sa- ■
vannah when we go back some ’
day. Our heartfelt sympathy goes |
to his family. Mrs. Travis and I
have worked together for many j
years in U. D. C. work. General I
Travis, with Mrs. Travis, attend
ed my last National Convention of
the U. D. C. in San Antonio. Texas,
when I was President - General.
It was my pleasure to present him
as a distinguished guest at this
my last Convention to preside j
over.
Young Rob Travis, one of our
finest youn Christian men, of this
community, is his namesake, and
was In Savannah, as a candidate
for Lt. Governor of the Youths
Assembly at the time of his pass- j
ing.
General Travis had a brilliant I
career, as did his sons. Travis j
Field is named for him and Tra- j
vis Air Port, in Texas, for his son. |
He will be greatly missed. The
magnolia tree in my yard was one
he gave me from his lovely home
“Avalon" at Savannah. My hus
band and I have spent many happy
hours within their home.
Yes, April is Cancer Crusade
Month. . .cooperate with all who
' call at your home. They are vol- |
unteer workers, your friends and ।
neighbors, giving unselfishly of |
their time, to help stamp out this
dread disease.
Be sure and give as generously
as you possibly can to the Cancer
fund during April. . .for this money |
! is needed for research, educational
work, and services.
We are so happy over the pro
! gress of Mrs. R. M. Tuck, and to
know that she is now doing nicely
at Georgia Baptist Hospital.
j There is no couple in Covington, i
holding a finer place in the hearts ;
of all i>eople than the Tucks.
And we rejoice again over the '
fine progress being made by Mr. ;
and Mrs. John Hall, after their I
horrible auto wreck. He is the
fine Chamber of Commerce head,
, and is carrying his work on in a
grand way, even tho not able to
get around yet. We are pulling for
। you John, and shall rejoice also
when the day comes that the love
ly wife can throw those crutches
away.
The spring flowers are nod
-1 ding their heads everywhere to
1 make life more beautiful. They
are God’s flowers, and seem to
bring a very special message to
us from Him. We hope Jack Frost
is gone for a good long season now
‘ for we have had our share of cold.
The Covington Show windows
tell us it’s almost Easter! We ne
ver saw lovlier windows! Why
they look like windows in a much
larger city! We are justly proud of
our fine merchants. So shop at
home! They have what you want
and need. . .if not they will get it
1 for you. Let's keep our dollars at
| home where they do the most
good. You spend them at home, |
and they stay here and eventually
come right back to you. . .Had you
j thought of that. . . well, remember j

Mrs. Belmont Dennis, Editor

Dear Mrs. Dennis:
I have been away a good
deal on business, hence my
delay in acknowledging receipt
of the newspaper you sent.
Nothing would suit me more
than to come down for the bar
becue; however, a previous en
gagement made quite some
time ago prevents. I have
hunted birds around Mansfield
many times. The late Fred and
Charlie Jordan of Monticello
were my hunting pals and I
would certainly have a good
time being back in that section
but I just can’t make it.
Let me extend congratula
tions on What you are doing in
the Cancer drive. If we just
had a few more like you, there
would be no headaches in this
worthwhile cause.
Best wishes and kindest re
gards,
Sincerely,
Arch Avary, Jr.
Pres. State American
Cancer Society
The median money Income of
families in the United States was
$5,700 in 1961, the last year for
which the official figures are
available. This marked a 2 per
cent gam over the preceding year.
That, however, was offset, by half,
j by a 1 per cent rise in consumer
I prices.
T. Earle Johnson, professor of
speech at the University of Ala
bama, says: “Keeping a free so
ciety free — and vital and strong
— is no job for the half-educated
and the slovenly. In a society of
free men competence is a pri
mary duty. The man who does his
job well tones up the whole so
ciety and the man who does a
sloppy job — whether he is a
janitor or a judge, a surgeon or a
mechanic — lowers the tone of all
society. But excellence implies
more than competence. It implies
a striving for the highest stand
ards in every form of life. We
need individual excellence in. . . .
