already have an active organization.
Georgians for the ERA (GERA) formed
in 1973, after ERA was relegated to
committee. We began as a small group,
with ERA ratification as our only goal. A
coalition of other organizations formed to
support plans for an ERA conference and
march. Coalition members have included
other feminist groups, civil rights
organizations, labor unions, professional
associations, church-affiliated groups, and
student organizations. Coalition members
are often organizations which support
ERA, but have other important goals; by
allying we are able to avoid duplication of
effort and to pool our resources.
In January, 1974, 1,000 women and
men marched in one of the biggest
demonstrations in Atlanta’s history. The
committee’s year-long study produced no
recommendation at all, and ERA was
defeated in the Georgia House, 104-70.
The following year, GERA and the
coalition coordinated march of 1500, and
the Georgia Senate defeated ERA, 22-11.
This year, a “Women in the Art” benefit
drew about 600 ERA supporters in an
August celebration of the anniversary of
Suffrage. More than 300 persons attended

unfair. We don't get any time to

Can’t you file a writ to delay the
case?”
"I don’t want it delayed,” Santa
said. “We might as well get it over

GERA needs help, to make this march a
state-wide, region-wide and nation-wide
demonstration of massive support for
ERA.
Regional supsport of the march could
include car pools to Atlanta, or buses. We
can provide free housing. If you cannot
attend, perhaps you could send a telegram
of endorsement. We could read telegrams
at the march, and present them later to
the Georgia General Assembly. If you
have any questions, comments,
suggestions, desire to donate funds,

want to hear from you.

“Gee whiz, Santa,” Jinkersnipes
said. “You’re not going to be
there.”
“You know Christmas is drawing
closer so I must get ready,” Santa
said. “If I attended the hearing I
would never get done in time and
even if I was cleared there wouldn't
be a Christmas. So I better stay
here and hope for the best.”
“We’ll do our best," Juniper
perper said. “We'll do our best.”
“I know you will,” Santa said.
“And I'm not the least bit
worried.”
But Santa wiped his brow, and
the elves knew that deep down this
was the worst crisis ever to face
Santa Claus.

MEDITATION
MOMENTS
By Rev. Ralph Hawkins
“And Jesus went about all the
cities and villages, teaching in their
Synagogues, and preaching the
gospel of the Kingdom, and healing
every sickness and every disease
among the people.” Matthew 9:35
The question comes to every
person — how do we spend our
God-given days? The late Arnold
Toynee, great English historian,
has made the statement in his
writings that the Christian gospel
in a world religion: that the gospel
of Christ is of such a nature that it
answers the needs of mankind.
Jesus said to his Disciples “Go ye
into all the world and preach the
gospel." Our Lord set the example
by His every day life.

could not by-pass a city or village

to the well being of every person.
This is a great missionary thought.
The gospel of life is absolutely nec
essary to all men everywhere.
He was also engaged in
ministering to the physical needs of
mankind. William Booth and his
wife saw that the church of his day
was not ministering to the physical

therefore organized the Salvation

spiritual and physical needs of all
