Happy Birthday, Girl Scouts
Seek the highest ideas of
character, conduct, patri
otism, service. Find fulfill
ment in the arts, the home,
the world outside. Dare to
do the improbable and
dream the impossible.
This was the challenge
that Juliette Gordon Low,
founder of Girl Scouting In
the United States, gave to
her original band of twelve
girls in Savannah, Georgia
55 years ago.
Times change and the joy
ful world of the young has
moved from madcap to mod
cap. But the values and goals
Mrs. Low established for Girl
Scouts endure. Today, more
than 3 million girls, ages
seven through 17, partici
pated in the March 12 birth
day of Girl Scouts of the
U.S.A, and in the way of life
envisioned by Mrs. Low. Over
22,000 of them are registered
with the Northwest Georgia
Girl Scout Council.
Now, as always, Girl
Scouts set the pace for their
generation, moving with
ease from the timely to the
timeless — from frugging to
farming, surfing to serving.
Mrs. Low would be amazed
and proud of her Girl Scout
family, 55 years later. But
all of us who have seen the
family grow are just plain
proud.
Happy Birthday, Girl
Scouts. Long may you glow!

member is engaged in ac
tivities which enrich their
own lives as well as those
around them. In the Wil
liamson household, so many
activities are going on at the
same time that only excel
lent cooperation from every
one in the family permits
each member to pursue his
own interests.
The Williamsons have an
enviable family spirit. They
enjoy doing things together.
One area of interest to which
the entire family looks for
ward each year is the crea
tion of an original decora
tion theme for their “Christ
mas Door.” They have won
two first place awards and
one honorable mention in
three years of participating
in the annual Christmas
Door Decorating Contest,
"Bells and Evergreen”, spon

meeting and all members are

Mr. Tom Cole won the

IT IS A FAIRLY GOOD assumption that if you seek the
opinions of 10 individuals on the Selective Service, you will
obtain differing views on how the draft should be operated.
Probably they would be unanimous on only one count: they
don’t like it. However, some of them might agree that it is a
necessary evil.
The President’s advisory commission on the draft stated the
problem thus: each year, about 2 million men reach draft age.
Almost three-fourths of them will be qualified for military service
ind of this Wi million, some 600,000 to 1 million will be required
to serve. And of these, between 100,000 and 300,000 may have
to be drafted. How shall they be selected?
That’s the problem. According to the advisory commission,
our military manpower should be secured in a manner “as con
sistent as possible with human dignity, individual freedom, fair
ness to all citizens, and the other principles and traditions of a
democratic and free society.”
Now that of course is far easier said than done.
• * * * *
FOR ALL OF ITS FAULTS our present approach to the
draft has served the nation well since the Selective Service System
legislative passed Congress in 1940.
But there are shortcomings and inequities in some aspects
of its administration. In a nation as large and diverse as ours,
this is in part unavoidable. It is difficult indeed if not impossible
to operate the draft on a totally fair basis that works a hardship
on no one.
Naturally, there are criticisms. First of all, no one likes to
be told that he must serve in the Armed Services. No one likes
to lose valuable time in pursuit of his professional career or to
have his college education postponed or interrupted. With justifi
cation, parents do not like to see their sons sent to battlefields
like Viet Nam.
♦ * * • *
I AM CONFIDENT that the Congress will give these and
all related problems its most careful consideration, and that ad
ministration recommendations for certain revisions of the draft
system will be thoroughly studied.
In this matter, we should follow the axiom that whenever
changes are proposed in a long-standing system, it should be
ascertained whether these changes truly constitute an improve
ment.

Bayward McManus, a
member of Auburn Univer
sity’s renowned “Snow White

ketball cast when Joel Eaves’
Tigers were riding high at
the turn of the decade, Mon
day was named athletic di
rector of Clayton County
schools.
J. E. Edmonds, Clayton
County superintendent of
schools, announced McMan
us’ appointment to the newly
created post in his rapidly
mushrooming county.

Jonesboro High School since
1963 except for a brief sum
mer and fall period in 1966,
will be in overall charge of
the various phases of ath
letics at Jonesboro. Forest
Park. North Clayton and
Fountain High Schools.
The appointment makes
McManus the third full-time
athletic director to over-see
the sports’ programs of a
group of schools in five

athletic director since 1947.
Sid Scarborough and Max

way Gardens where he has
won two first place and one
second place awards in the
three years of its establish
ment.
Randall’s influence on his
family transcends that of
the clergy. He is the ideal
father and community lead
er. His devotion to both his
profession and his family is
admired by all who know
him.
Neighborhood children
playing a fast bailgame on
the lawn, friends visiting
unexpectedly, and enthusi
astic hospitality all demon
strate that the Williamsons
have achieved the status of
being a “regular” family in
addition to that normally
expected of a "person”.
These accomplishments
are proof of the family’s
ability to budget their time,
money, and talents. Their
philosophy of life is to have
diversified activity which
will help them, and in turn
help others, to develop in
wisdom and stature and In
favor with God and man.

“We will have centralized
scheduling, and we feel that
centralized purchasing of
athletic equipment can make
that phase a more econom

an outstanding job at Jones
boro, and we feel he will do
an outstanding job in this

director to take charge of
things.”
