to December 1945, coming from
that pastorate to the Rose Hill
Baptist Church. All the churches
pastored by Dr. Burrell reg

spiritual progress. In addition to
a well balanced ministry. First

led to retire a long 20 year
standing indebtedness and make
plans for the future.

By Pope Dickson
Down through the ages writ
ers, philosophers and, on oc
casion, very ordinary folk,
have contributed to a rich
legacy of wisdom which is
timeless. These proverbs, say
ings, philosophical bits — call
them what you may — probe,
not always gently, beneath
the sometimes tough hide of
life for a better insight into
the working of Earth’s num
ber one commodity — people.
There is comfort, a measure
of confidence, and much un
derstanding to be gained from
a closer look at the messages
handed down by the likes of .
Plato, Cervantes and Irving.
As the weeks roll by, we plan
to look more closely and to
interpret as best we can some
of the wise counsel which is
ours for the taking.

Duncan Tells
Rotary of
Progress
Clayton County Commissioner
James Duncan addressed the
Forest Park Rotary Club on
Wednesday, September 4, at the
Bow and Arrow Restaurant.
Commissioner Duncan spoke
of the phenomenal growth of
Clayton County over the period
of the past decade; and spoke ।
of recent improvements the cur
rent administration has installed
in order to effect a savings of
public monies.
The Commissioner specifically
! spoke of two changes in Clayton
County’s administration that
have proven valuable in the
.county’s economy: the installa
tion of a purchasing agent and;
the hiring of a qualified road
building engineer for the road
department.
A county purchasing depart
ment and a county purchasing
agent have been installed which
purchases for the county on
a bid basis. Purchasing pre-,
viously was left to whatever de
partment needed to make a pur
chase. Mr. Duncan feels that
the new purchasing program
will prove invaluable and he
, feels that since it is the public:
money that is being expended
; such a department is requisite.
The Commissioner also spoke
of the hiring of a county engi- i
neer as head of the road depart
ment of the county. He feels
that a qualified engineer will
know his material and will know
how to effect savings in road
building without sacrifice of re
sults. Mr. Duncan said that pre
viously Clayton’s roads were
built by the eyeball method and
under the circumstances a pretty
good job was done. He further
feels that by having an engi
neer’s knowledge and planning
ability much more will be es- ■
fected in savings that will be
needed to pay the engineer’s
salary.
The Commissioner said he had

capable leadership in Clayton
