Williams I he other day, a pastor and his family from south Georgia stopped by for a short visit. They have two daughters ages four and two. I had not seen the younger girl since she learned to walk and talk. The time had come for । them to go. The two year old started down the ‘steps. Iler mother tried to help her. She would not accept this assist ance. She affirmed her own adequacy in firm and clear lan guage. At first I did not under stand exactly what she was saying. Ihe parents clarified her words. She said. “Self do it! Sell do it!” Ihe parents explained that, at the age of two, Ihe only name she had See Westbrook Plymouth THAN ’ / O $3,000 1969 ROAD RUNNER••• MOTOR TREND’S CAR OF THE YEAR To quote Motor Trend Magazine “It s an exciting car and has influenced others to follow the simple, practical theme that delivers a completely functional car " They're right l And here's the reason why take a 383 cu in. high performance V-8. bolt it to a fully synchronized Hurst 4-speed, set them on a 116 wheel base with wide oval tires, add high performance brakes, shocks, torsion bars, and you've got a W/N/Vffi. - sell the whole package for less than S3OOO, and you've got a ROAD RUNNEP It’ll purr through traffic, or snarl through a quarter mile in 14 seconds flat.

She had become aware of herself as apart from others, including her mother. With this, she had also re flected one of the main human traits that often gets out of hand. It is that feeling of being able to take care of self; that position of standing outside the realm of supplementary assistance and energy. It seems to me that one of life’s vital and valuable lessons is to learn to see this line that separates the help we need from the extremity of our own limitations. Parents must supply the wisdom and the materials out of which such understanding comes, A small child cannot possibly see the mark between the two. A little child may believe that she can push the house over alone JEAN’S FLOWERS. 1214 Main Street, Forest Park, Ga. Flowers telegraphed anywhere at any time. Flow ers for all occasions.

LEFTOVER YOLKS To store leftover egg yolks, cover them with cold water and store them in the refrigerator in a covered container. Extra egg whites should also be refrigerated in a covered container. when there may be sufficient strength to push over only a chair. Some of the most valuable words in human language are these: “Let me help you.” They should be used, with caution and care, in the home when the children are small. This allows for the individual to do all that he can but it also teaches that he does not know it all nor can he do every thing. When these teachings are done properly, the help that is needed later in life may be received with the finest spirit. Unless the lessons of accept ing help are learned, a person cannot understand what God can do for him. Divine love is expressed in offering special strength and power. Self can not do it all. s • 1 ,4hl Forest Park Moving & Storage 366—0406 i Kawasaki CYCLE SALES & SERVICE, Inc. 920 Main St. Forest Park GLENN BLANTON, Mgr 361-5585 Forest Park Office and Church Supply Co. 813 Main St. PHONE 361-8196 "From office furniture to rubber bands . .
