Ernest L. Cheaves, Vice Chair
man, Clayton County Red
Cross Volunteers.
I his is the fourth consecu
tive year the Red Cross has
slated the Voices From Home
program. Many Clayton
County families have sent mes
sages off for the holidays. Red
Cross officials stated that all
services are free. Red Cross
funds are obtained through
United Appeal gifts. The local
chapter of Red Cross directly
helps more than one thousand

twelve-month school program,
most people think of a pro
gram designed to make stu
dents go to school all year, to
make use of school buildings
during the entire year, to speed
children through school or to
save money.
Ironically, the program
being tried in the Atlanta area
is none of these. Instead, it has
one single purpose to improve
students’ educational opportu
nities.
A life-time member of
Riverdale was honored with a
surprise birthday party Satur
day, Nov. 2 to celebrate his
91st birthday. He is Mr. R. L.
Lassiter with a long record of
service to his community, in
cluding that of life-time Elder
in the Presbyterian Church. He
is a former Mayor of Riverdale,
and a County Commissioner of
more than 20 years. Progress
has always been a favorite
theme with Mr. Lassiter, prog
ress in his church, community
and county. He is a Democrat
and tells how he has never
voted any other way, even
when he has not always agreed
with the candidate. A highlight
of the party was a presentation
to Mr. Lassiter of a Fifty Year
Masonic Pin made by W. F.
Scott who, with I). L. Williams
and C. 1. Ethridge and R. W.
Camp represented the River
dale Masonic Lodge. Mr.
Lassiter claims his longevity is
the result of hard work and a
good moral life.
Rev. Bill Satterwhite, Pres
byterian Minister, acted as
Master of Ceremonies. He told
how, over the years, Mr.
Lassiter had inspired with help
and guidance many people who
had taken their cares to him.
Replying. Mr. Lassiter reversed
that, telling how his many
friends had been a source of
joy and help to him.
Hosting the party for Mr.
Lassiter were friends and rela
tives Mrs. T. J. Hyde, Mrs.
Claud Babb, and Mrs. Ann
Stewart.
