CARD OF THANKS
Henry Drummond once said
that “love is the greatest thing
in the world" and we believe
it with all of our hearts. The
love and concern of our friends
and relatives in our recent
tragedies have reminded us
over and over of this fact. We
could never express with mere
words our deep gratitude for
every act of kindness and
thoughtfulness whi c h was
shown to us, but we are hum
bly grateful for our blessings
in a Christian community.
Our prayers are that God
will bless each of you and
your families and that all of
us may come to know His pres
ence and power in special way
throughout everyday.
Sincerely.
The Families of Ricky
Childers and James F.
Smith

Says . .
It is amazing to see how
professing Christians allow
their most sacred and mean
ingful celebrations to become
so commercialized that all the
true meaning is lost in a maze
of senseless prevality!
Christmas, made sacred by
the voluntary incarnation of
the Son of God to bring sal
vation to the human race is
described by an avalanche of
showy stuff that has no kind of
connection with Jesus Christ,
some of it actually comic.
Now we are on the threshold
of the commemoration of the
crucifixion, burial, and resur
rection of our Lord, which He
recognized as the fulfillment of
the old symbolic “Pass-over”
feast of the Jews. This Pass
over commemorated their free
dom from slavery in Egypt,
when the death angel “passed
over” the houses throwing
blood sprinkled on the lintel
and door part of the doors, but
took the first barn of every
house not so marked.
By the shedding of His blood
for the salvation of mankind
Jesus fulfilled the symbolism
of the “pass-over” and so est
ablished it to continue as a
memorial to Him and His re
demption of man.
We read in the Bible how He
celebrated it by giving His dis
ciples the bread and the wine,
saying, “As oft as ye do this,
do it in remembrance of ME”.
Instead of holding this day
sacred to His memory, men
have tried to make of eggs and
rabbits symbols of the resur
rection, so instead of teaching
little children the story of Je
sus’ love, and His provision of
eternal life for them, we give
them bunny rabbits and color
ed eggs, with never a mention
of our loving Lord, and His
offer of love and life.
If our children know more
about Bunnies, than they know
about their Lord, it is the fault
of their elders. They believe
what grown-ups tell them. If
we believe in our Savior and
love Him, and tell the little

Georgians Urged
To Take Measles
More Seriously
Georgia families do not take
measles seriously enough.
That’s the opinion of Miss
Lucile Higginbotham, head of
the Cooperative Extension Ser
vice health department at the
University of Georgia. “The
fact that the disease is so com
mon makes it one of the most
dangerous of childhood epi
demic diseases,” she said.
Miss Higginbotham added
that measles is serious because
of the complications that some
times result. “These may be
encephalitis, pneumonia, or ear
and sinus infections. An indi
vidual weakened by measles is
more susceptible to strepto
coccus, pneumococcus, infleun
za virus and organisms that
cause meningitis.
Miss Higginbotham pointed
out that this ohildihood disease
appears most frequently in late
winter and early spring. She
advised placing the measles
patient under a physician’s
care, and added that good con
valescent care is important.
“The physician’s advice should
be followed carefully during
the recovery period.”
The Extension health spe
cialist explained that measles
begins like the common cold,
with sneezing and red, watery
eyes. “These symptoms usually

appear about 10 days after ex
posure. Eyes ache and are sen
titive to light. There may be a
cough or sore throat. The clas
sic measles rash appears three
or four days after the first
symptoms. The rash often
starts on the face and spreads
to other parts of the body.”
Measles is highly contagious,
Miss Higginbotham continued.
She said isolation precautions
should be followed to protect
other children in the family
and community.
Adults can also contract the
disease if they have not en
countered it in childhood. “For
tunately,” Miss Higginbotham
concluded, “a case of measles
generally provides permanent
immunity.”

The second step to good buy

Then, know how much you
