College Students To Get
Guidance Consultation
United Methodists in North Ge
orgia have begun a new program
aimed at one of the nation’s most
critical needs on college cam
puses.
The Rev. Noel Swanson, mini
ster of Bethany United Methodist
Church at Marietta, said 70 mini
sters and laymen from across the
North Georgia Conference would
spend two days, January 10 and
11, studying up - to - date pro
cedures in guidance counseling
among college students. The
"Guidance Consultation” will be
held at First United Methodist
Church at Clarkston, Ga. Per
sons participating will be con
ference and local church officials
having specific responsibilities
in working with college students.
Sessions will begin at 9:30 a. m.
on January 10.
“Increasingly the college cam
pus’ most pressing problem is
student choiceof life’s vocation”,
Mr. Swanson said. “Colleges are
finding that many young people
are going into schools and uni
versities who have never had
opportunity to even consider a
vocation”, he continued. He said
this is because churches and lo
cal school systems have not ta
ken “a large enough share of
responsibility in guiding stu
dents.”
Keynote speaker for the con
sultation will be Dr. Gordon Th
ompson, professor of homiletics
at Emory University’s Candler
School of Theology. Dr. Thomp
son will speak on the theological
and Biblical meaning of choosing
a vocation.
Several leaders in guidance
counseling from The United Met
hodist Church’s Board of Educat
ion at Nashville, Tenn., and the
Georgia State Department of Edu
cation will participate in the con
sultation.
Among these will be Dr. Paul
Vail, associate with the Georgia
Division of Guidance and Coun
seling; Dr. Robert Shigley, spe-

This icy tree decoration was formed Wednesday night by the children
of Mr. and Mrs. James D. Dubois of 707-A Emory Street in Oxford,
by hanging a garden hose in the upper limbs of the tree and leaving
the water running during the night. The Dubois children were back
in school when this picture was taken on Thursday morning. Their
next door neighbor, Scarlet Crosby, consented to pose with the
handiwork of nature and the garden hose.
Education Can Be Exciting
Education can be continually

Christmas Seal
Campaign Gets
$1,316 Here
The 1968 Christmas Seal Cam
paign in Newton County has reac
hed a total of $1,316.85 for the
fight against TB, Emphysema,
Asthma, Acute Bronchitis, other
respiratory diseases and Air
Pollution. This figure indicates,
contributions are lagging behind
the goal needed to serve New
ton County.
"With the pressure of Christ
mas Shopping and other holiday
preparations, people sometimes
forget their Christmas Seal con
tributions,” said Bill Bartholo
may, President of the Atlanta
Braves, and Chairman of the
1968 Christmas Seal Campaign.
“However, the health needs of
Georgia citizens are greater than
ever today. Any let down in the
programs planned for next year
would be a serious dis-service
to the community.”
The Christmas Seal Campaign
is still under way and hopes are
still high that the goals will be
met.
More than $24 billion in
state and federal highway user
tax collections have been spent
on non-road projects since
1956.
