isn't it about time
you came in
from the cold?
It can be awfully nippy out there without the proper cover

comforts already. But synthetic fibers can’t warm the soul.
Chances are, you could put more spiritual fiber in your
weave: stronger threads of Christian faith and human
understanding. Let the warmth of youq\flethodist Church
help provide the total and lasting inner-security you need.
You'll find that today's Methodism relates the living Christ

Growing
By The Greater Atlanta
Rose Society |
In February the arrival of |
beautifully illustrated rose
catalogs signals the time to
plan rose selections for the
approaching season. In ad
dition to the many time
tested roses introduced in
the last few years, each new
season is heralded by the
award-winning new intro
ductions. The following roses
are the All-America Rose
Society winners for 1967:
BEWITCHED: A hybrid
tea which grows erect with
large glossy leaves. The color
is a rich rose-pink.
LUCKY LADY — This
grandiflora is the “leading
lady” among the 1967 win
ners. The open flowers are
bicolored with facing petals
a cheerful shade of light
pink and the reverse a deep
er rose pink.
GAY PRINCESS—A flori
bunda which is somewhat
taller than the average.
Flowers are a peach-pink
color with a near hybrid tea
form.
ROMAN HOLIDAY — This
floribunda presents a fiesta
combination of vivid orange
red and flashing yellow. The
plant is low-growing with
deep green foliage.
The purchase of good
plants, proper planting, and
good care of the growing
bush will assure the gardener
a profusion of blooms
throughout the summer. The
Greater Atlanta Rose So
ciety has arranged two pro
grams during February to
aid all gardeners in success
ful rose growing.

Featured in DESIGN
The Forest Park Senior High School art depart
ment was featured in the latest issue of DESIGN, the
magazine of creative art for teachers, artists, and
craftsmen, published in Columbus, Ohio.
In his article, “Package Design,” Mr. John C.
Bott, art instructor at the
Forest Park Senior High
School, states that the ob
jectives of the package de
sign projects were to gain an
awareness of art in the
everyday world and an un
derstanding of commercial
design. Another purpose was
to provide a transition from
two dimensional to three
dimensional design.
As a first step, each stu
dent was asked to bring in
~an empty box (grocery store
~ items including detergent,
~ cereal and cookies were sug
gested). Then the class dis
cussed the functions of com
mercial packages. Four pri
mary functions were estab
lished: (1) protection, (2)
identification, (3) explana
tion and (4) advertisement.
Mr. Bott says that in a
package design the adver
tising appeal takes on its
greatest importance at the
point of sale. An undecided
buyer would most likely pur
chase the product that has
the more attractive wrap
ping. According to him, dec
oration and design are im
portant selling points.
Each group in the class
chose the one package that
they could improve by rede
signing. The groups varied
} from four to six students in
size. Each individual in the
group was asked to create
his own proposed version of
the package’s design.
Eight large size photo
graphs were used in the
magazine showing examples
of some of the designs that
the Forest Park students
created.
Cong. John
Sixth District Congress
‘| ‘man. John J. Flynt, Jr.,.of
Griffin, was reappointed
Monday to his fifth consec
utive year of service on the
Board of Visitors of the
United States Air Force
Academy. The appointment
was made by the Honorable
John W. McCormack, Speak
er of the U. S. House of Rep
resentatives.
Boards of Visitors to serv
ice academies act in a ca
pacity and perform func
tions similar to that of
Board of Regents or Boards
of Trustees of the numerous
public and private institu
tions of higher learning in
the United States.
The Board of Visitors to
the Air Force Academy is
appointed annually, and
consists of four other mem
bers of the House of Repre
sentatives in addition to
Congressman Flynt; four
members of the Senate; and
six public members ap
pointed by the President of
the United States.
There is little evidence to
show that giants, as such,
really existed. Most stories
are myths.
