You're looking at half a dozen all-electric designs.
And Georgia has 5,900 more.
All-electric commercial buildings are
springing up throughout Georgia at the
rate of about 80 a month. For some
very sound business reasons.
Electricity, by itself, will supply all
the energy needs of any building you
build. Heating. Cooling. Water heat

put down a four, and he
failed to notice it He signed
the card and it was turned
in to the officials as the
card read, thus he was given
second place But if it had
been accurately scored, he
would have had to have
played another round the
next day for the champion
ship.
The golfer willingly took
the responsibility say in g
that it was his fault, and
that he should have been
more observant I am sure
that even though he recog

tremendous price to pay for

God says to us in our world
that He has a plan and that
we are to follow it. There are
many that go along life's
journey without giving con
sideration to this plan and
seem to be unconcerned
about it. Sin is not only a
wilful violation of the laws
of God. but it is also missing
the mark Indeed, when you
and I find ourselves in sin
Jesus Christ can forgive us
and set us free. As He sets us
free, let us determine to fol
low the right path for the
future.
The all-electric concept provides more
usable space. Lower operating costs.
Greater freedom of design. An all
electric building is better from the start.
Because electricity is the world’s most
modern, convenient and versatile energy.
If you’d like to get on the all-electric
list, call our commercial representa
tives. You could be lucky number
5,907. Or 5.908. Or 5,909.

Morrow PTA Installs
New Officers
The meeting of the Morrow Elementary PTA
last Tuesday night was an unprecedented event in
the annals of the school, for it was not only installa
tion night for the new slate of officers tor the coming i
year, but a surprise “birthday” celebration for the :
school, which is eighty years
old this year.
Mrs. Winton Powers,
dressed as an elderly lady. 1
came hobbling forth, lean- 1
ing heavily on her parasol 1
for support, and with eyes !
twinkling behind her rim
less spectacles, told of the '
beginning of the first school
in Morrow back in 1888. At 1
that time, she related, there
were only ten families in the ’
Morrow area. but. as she
| said. "There weren't many
lof us, but by cracky, we sure '
had a good time!" 1
It seems that the ten fam- J
Hies built a small, log build- i
ing of one room to use as a ,
school, which was soon out- j '
grown by the booming popu- ■ ’
lation. By 1900 there were '
thirty pupils, so another
two-room school was built.

For Christ
It has been said that once
we could take comfort in the
fact that we belonged to
what was essentially a Chris- I
tian society. No such security I
exists today in a secular- 1
minded culture that suggest |
the eclipse, rather than the
l presence of God
One of the dominate prob
lems for the future of this
security is the indifference
and even hostility toward
Christianity on the part of
the young Even those drawn
to the person of Christ rebell
against outmoded rules and
irrelevant sermons that ap
parently have no personal
meaning to a generation
struggling to understand
themselves.
It is with this in mind that
the young people of the For
est Park Church of Christ
have organised a "Youth
Rally": an opportunity for
all young people to enjoy the
fellowship of others their
own age; to engage in the
discussion of problems that
directly confront them in a
generation that, all too often,
insist that to be a Christian
is to be a revolutionary and
propose to substitute picket
lines for prayer
The entire program will be
conducted by young people of
' this area. The principal
speakers will be Al Obert, a
student at Forest Park High
School, who will speak on
"Present Day Problems of
Young People", and Bill
Lamb, employed as a dental
technician, whose subject
■ will be “Problems of Future
Generations".
Other participants will be
Steve Roberts of Jonesboro
High School, Phillip Bowers
’ of Forest Park High, and
Phil Glisson, a student at
Georgia State College.
Refreshments will be
served immediately following
the program Sunday, April
28. 3 p.m., Forest Park

Frozen eggs may be used
