FP Civitans Hear
Forrest Turner
The Forest Park Civitans
enjoyed one of the most in
teresting meetings of this
Civitan year as they ob
served "Clergy Week” at the
Barbecue Kitchen. Annually
the Civitan chooses this
time of year to express their
appreciation to the clergy
of our area for the fine work
that they have done in our
community. The Civitans
were pleased to have present
Rev. Frank Havlicek, Mor
row Presbyterian Church;
Reverend Clint Rogers, Sec
ond Baptist Church of For
est Park; Reverend Randall
Williamson, Morrow Meth
odist Church; Reverend
Kimsey Warr, Lake City
Baptist Tabernacle; Rev
erend R. H. Burcher, Victory
Baptist Church; and Rev
erend Hugh Bradley, Memo
rial Christian Church.
The Civitans were de
lighted to have as their
guest speaker, Forrest
Turner. Mr. Turner’s pro
gram was based on his own
life and as the program con
tinued, it became most evi
dent that his life is a most
unusual and profound ex
ample of the great change
that can take place when a
man chooses to accept
Christ.
Mr. Turner's trouble began
when he was a youngster,
accepting a ride in a car
with a young friend of his.
Miss McKee
Honored
Feb. 17
Miss Lydia McKee, retiring
executive director of the
Visiting Nurse Association
of Metropolitan Atlanta,
Inc., was honored by the
nursing staff at a dinner on
Friday, February 17, at 7
p.m. at the Switzerland
House. Miss McKee, who
founded the Association, was
its first director.
When the Visiting Nurse
Association was founded,
under the leadership of Miss
McKee in early 1949, the
staff consisted of one nurse
and one secretary. Today,
the professional staff num
bers almost 60. The Visiting
Nurse Association, an agency
of the United Appeal, pro
motes health, prevents dis
ease and provides skilled
nursing instruction and care
for the sick in their homes
under the orders of the pa
tient's doctor. Last year, the
agency made more than 1,-
844 home nursing visits to
107 Clayton County sick
people and health aides
served four Clayton County
families.

After traveling a few blocks,
the car was stopped by the
police and Mr. Turner
learned that the car was
stolen. The judge sentenced
Mr. Turner to serve three
years in jail for his part in
this "crime”. Being bitter
towards this justice, Mr.
Turner became an escape
artist and each time he
escaped and continued in
his unlawful role, the judge
would re-try him and stiffen
his sentence. At one time,
Mr. Turner had a total of
112 years to serve for his
actions.
When Mr. Turner saw
clearly the need to accept
Christ, he knew that he
couldn’t tell anyone of his
conversion because the
prison officials would be
lieve that it would only be
another attempt to trick
them. After much hard work
in the prison as a model
prisoner and working in the
dental laboratory as an as
sistant technician, Mr.
Turner got his parole. This
took about twelve years, and
the next five years proved
to be five years as a Chris
tian, and Mr. Turner re
ceived a full and complete
pardon. Since that time, Mr.
Turner has spoken to over
two million people to tell
this outstanding story and
we Civitans certainly look
upon this program as one of
the finest of our year.
This time of year also was
slated as National Boy Scout
Week and we had Scout Pat
Coleman present a scout
program entitled "Operation
Patrick Henry”. This was a
fine speech written by Pat,
who did a fine job.
The Civitans were also
pleased to have D. L. Cole
man as our guest and C. C.
Souther, Lt. Governor of
Civitan International.

School News
First graders are accorded
the prized privilege of visit
ing the library once a week.
They begin during library
orientation week, the first
week of school.
Before they’ve learned to
read, they see filmstrips and
hear stories in the library.
After Christmas they begin
to check out books.
They have their very own
primary corner in which
they may look at books, lis
ten to records, or see films.
First graders at Hendrix

COUNTY LIBRARY NEWS
Clayton County Depart
ment of Librarians were
favorably Impressed with
the library at Hendrix Drive
Elementary School which
was the meeting place for
February.
An account of library pro

First Christian
Women Study
Communications
The women of First Chris
tian Church, Forest Park,
met Thursday evening, Feb
ruary 9, for their missionary
study and business meeting.
Mrs. Helen Hudson, the vice
president, presided over the
meeting, with Mrs. Jimmie
Phillips serving as hostess.
“O, Send Out Thy Light”
was the theme of the devo
tions presented by Mrs.
Catherine Stoner. "Com
munications: Radio, TV,
Printed Word” was the sub
ject of discussion led by Mrs.
Margaret Olson.
Points of interest were
given concerning Christian
TV Mission, Mission Serv
ices, and Gospel Broadcast
ing Mission.
Christian TV Mission,
Springfield, Missouri, is now
in its Uth year. This me
dium is one of personal
evangelism; it enters closed
doors; it is impressive and
economical; it prepares the
way for local preachers, and
it redeems the time, which
is short!
Mission Services, Joliet,
Illinois, is a many-sided
work. The dedicated staff
prepares and mails over a
million pieces of missionary
literature each year.
Gospel Broadcasting Mis
sion, LaCrosse, Wisconsin, Is
an agency through which
missionaries may secure
radio time to reach the
masses with gospel mes
sages. Among those asso
ciated with the mission are
the Paul Bajko family of
Eastern Christian College,
Bel Air, Maryland; Ed Fausz
family, in West Germany;
Charles Phipps family, mis
sionaries to Italy; Don
Baughman family, Nigeria,
West Africa, and Berl Thom
as of Wapato, Washington.

N. Clayton
Supports
Appeal
In response to Senior Class
President Jean Geddie’s ap
peal to all North Clayton
students to support Save the
Children Federation’s 25th
Annual Bundle Days Drive
to be held in the school from
Feb. 20 to 24, children and
adults are now collecting
wearable used clothing and
shoes to be distributed by
the Federation to needy
children in the Southern
Appalachian Mountains.
While' the great need is for
children’s clothing, adult
apparel is also welcome.
"In the Southern Appa
lachian Mountains where
the boys and girls need an
education if they are to de
velop their natural skills and
talents and break out of
poverty, too many of them
are being forced to drop out
of school for lack of pre
sentable clothe s,” Jean
Geddie said. “This makes it
urgent that students and all
residents bring wearable
used shoes, coats, dresses,
suits, and underwear to the
collection centers at NCHS.”
Save the Children Federa
tion, international child wel
fare organization, with
headquarters in Norwalk,
Connecticut was founded in
1932. The Federation aids
children, their families and
communities in the South
ern Appalachian Mountains,
on American Indian reserva
tions and in many countries
abroad, through the spon
sorship program, an inter
national self-help scholar
ship fund and the annual
clothing collection. It is reg
istered with the U.S. State
Department Advisory Com
mittee on Voluntary Foreign
Aid and is a member of the
International Union for
Child Welfare.
ROSES FOR QUAIL
Are you looking for a plant
that will provide cover for
quail on your property?
Dave Almand, Extension
Service wildlife specialist,
suggests that you consider
using the Multiflora rose.
This plant should be set out
in late winter or early
spring, he says.
Average ocean depth is
12,500 feet.
librarian, Betty Wilson. A
discussion followed in which
many helpful ideas were
presented.
On display were examples
of students’ work. Fourth
graders had created gaily
clothed figures using bottles
as bases. The figures repre
sented such characters as
Robin Hood, Daniel Boone,
Cinderella, and various oth
ers.
Clay models of Greek
chariots, Roman temples,
and Olympic games were
prepared by sixth grade stu
dents. All the displays con
tained products produced as
a result of classroom initi
ated activities and involved
the use of library materials.
A second grade group
acted out a very colorful
skit about The Six Blind
Men of Indostan in which
they used a large papier
mache elephant made by a
fifth grade class.
The monthly library meet
ing was designed to indicate
the many uses to which a
good library is put.
