On Thursday night the out
come of the election of the 1969-
70 State Y-Club Officers was an
nounced. Then the week was
brought to a climax when the

young leaders on the life of a
Congressman.
Discussion groups on Black

Question and answer periods fol

thus, the youth were able to re

during the conference. The Youth
Recognition Award was given to
Martha Beasley of Lavonia for
her services to the Georgia Youth

THE COVINGTON NEWS
I "LABOR IS LIFE" |
Carlyle sg :
fl Let’s talk about labor — work, if you please, for that is what labor is. Labor
g:g has come a long, long way since ancient times when work was closely related
g$ to slavery. Aristotle described a slave as “a tool with life in it. In the -gg
Middle Ages, labor gained dignity and respect as slavery declined and Christianity gg
spread. Then, later in the 1700’s and 1800’s the industrial revolution created
gg: conditions that led to the modern labor movements. Today labor has gained
gg respect, wages and working conditions hitherto unknown before.
Labor is life. Work is satisfying. Through his
work a man accomplishes, and creates, and
provides for himself and his family. When deprived
of the opportunity or ability to work, man often
becomes depressed, even ill. Jr
I Corinthians 3:9 tells us that "We are la borers JK
gig together with God.” We are His hands, feet, voice,
•gg and compassionate heart here on earth to r $ sJqamHK gg:
