she said. "All his life he has

If "Papa Sunshine,” that
deeply religious Jewish mer

heaven — the cacophony of
voices and faiths that are
heard from — but I feel sure
the prayers will go up.

BY REV. CHARLES GOE
Pastor Ash St, Baotist Church
Two words awaken within us
new experiences. They are ex
citement and enthusiasm.
These were key words as we
participated last week In aSun
day School enlargement cam
paign in Gainesville.
It was my privilege to work
with the Woodlawn Baptist
Church in this endeavor. Rev.
Clarence Taylor is the pastor
of this young church. In the
mornings we met with the lea
ders of all the participating
churches. Many of the churches
had guest leaders from var
ious parts of Georgia. As we
shared experiences, each man
contributed much to these ses
sions. The various backgrounds
of the men gave rich insights
which benefltted each of us.
As we learned from each
other, we went at night to share
with the particular church
where we were serving. On
Monday night we discussed
some of the basic principles
of Sunday School work. Tues
day night we enlared on these
principles and determined some
specific needs of the church with
their individual opportunities.
On Wednesday we examined the
space available and discussed
together new opportunities for
advancement. Thursday was a
thrilling experience as we met
for final plans and also went
out into the community to visit
in behalf of their organization.

The complicated and very
expensive scales they use at
Grady for weighing bed pa

Papa Sunshine.
His influence is far-reach

a Sunshine store here and
studied law at night, accom

It is strange but revealing
how God works out one event
after another. As we went from
home to home to eat meals, we
would present needs for work
ers in departments and areas
of the church life. Again and
again various members would
volunteer for the positions
where they were needed.
The Sunday School superinten
dent could not be there until
the last evening. We had visit
ed with him before the meeting
and he was quite excited about
the prospects for the growth and
success of an enlarged organi
zation.
One seldom sees such renew
ed vision and such increased
concern from a few da^s ef
forts but it was a tremendous
experience.
God Is good to allow us to
share with others and the mar
velous revelation comes In
realizing we cannot give with
out much coming back to us.
As we shared with others, we
gained new insights for our
own work. In the days ahead,
we shall put into, practice the
gleanings of the week.
The Scripture says, “Give
and it shall be given unto you”.
How true it is and as we re
flect upon all of life this truth
continues to find its way to the
forefront. As life progresses
we shall continue to bless others
and in so doing the blessings
shall be abundant.

He has a big and affec

to whom he was married 44
years ago; two daughters, a
son, and 10 grandchildren,
as well as his 99-year-old
father. And he has a vaster
family: the hundreds of
babies to whom he has given
their first shoes, the serv
icemen he took into his
home and entertained dur
ing World War 11, and oth
ers he never knew personally
or has forgotten.
Rut they don’t forget and
if prayer can make Papa
Sunshine well, he should be
feeling, much much better
right away.

Clayton Schools Add
Pro Personnel In
Art, Music, Speech
BY ED EDMONDS
Superintendent of Clayton Countv Schools
Clayton County Board of Education, at its regular April
meeting, adopted several educational programs which will add
considerable depth to our educational curriculum.
Beginning in September we will have professional personnel
in the fields of art, music and speech for our elementary
schools. These people will work with teachers and pupil
groups and serve several school centers each. The speech
program will be in the area of speech defects and corrective
measures.
Clayton County schools will have a Director of Guidance,
Counseling and Testing. Some of the functions of this pro
gram will be:
1. Provide general coordination of all programs within the
program of general guidance services. (Guidance, coun
seling, and testing programs for grades 1 to 12, psycho
logical testing, and special education.)
2. Conduct psychological examinations of referred students.
3. Consult with parents of referred students.
This program will be headed by Julian Butler. He holds a
Master’s Degree in counselor education with special instruc
tion in psychological measurements.
Emmett Lee has been elevated to the position of Director of
Instruction. Mr. Lee holds a Master’s Degree from University
of Alabama. He will devote full time to the instructional
program and will coordinate the curriculum from the ele
mentary grades through the senior high school.
The Clayton County school system ranks with the very best
in the South and we must keep pace with the many educational
changes and demands if we are to meet the needs of every
child in Clayton County. We are grateful to all of our people
for the wonderful support our schools have been given.
Contracts will be let on April 13 for the Riverdale Ele
mentary and Forest Park Junior High schools. We should
have plans ready for the additional elementary schools in
Forest Park and Jonesboro areas by June 15. Work is under
way on the additions to the Hendrix Drive, J. E. Edmonds,
J. W. Arnold and Fountain schools. These additions will be
ready In September.
