SAR Honors Horner
For Work With Scouts
From the time Wilburn
Glenn (Buster) Horner
began working with Cub
Scouts in Memphis. Tennes
see in 1962 as a Pack
Committeeman until the
present time, his service to
the Boy Scouts of America
has been outstanding. Evi
dence of his loyalty and
faithfulness is indicated by
the fact that he has missed
only three Pack and Troop
meetings since 1965. His
dedication to Scouting's
highest principles has cha
racterized his varied contri
butions at all levels. He has
been involved in training
from Den level to District; in
multiple service projects, in
Pow Wows, Camprees. and
in Scout Olympic Day. He
also participated in the
World Jamboree in Japan as
Scoutmaster for Region
Troop 644 Consisting of
thirteen Scouts, eight from
Warner Robins and five
from Macon. □
Glenn Horner became
involved in Scouting here in
the middle Georgia area as
soon as he moved here from
Memphis, becoming an
Assistant Cubmaster to
Pack 122 in Warner Robins
and later moving up to
Cubmaster in 1965. Since
then his accomplishments
have been many. In 1967 68
he was instrumental in
Below are three
questions submitted to
Crisis Line by students
from a local high school
regarding use ot drugs.
Q. "What do you do
when your friends are on
drugs and want you to try
them?"
A. First, you might
want to begin by
questioning what kind of
"friends" would want to
encourage you to use
drugs.
Second, one thing
seems certain, and that is
your so-called "friends"
care about your opinion
of them. It they didn't

encouragement for you to

training over 150 Den
Mothers and Cubbers and
worked on the Council Pow-
Wow. In ' 1968 he was
co-chairman for the Den
Chiefs Training Program at
Camp Benjamin Hawkins.
During 1967 he motivated
Pack 122 into collecting over
150 pounds of toilet articles
for orphans in Korea and
Vietnam. In 1968 he served
as chairman for the Eagle
Recognition Banquet in
Macon. He became Scout
master of troop 122 in
the fall of 1969. A major
achievement of his since
then has been the product
ion of a weekly television
show, called “Scouting
Today for Tomorrow’s
Leaders”. This show is
believed to be the only
weekly TV program on
Scouting in the nation. Its
title is something of a
misnomer because about one
program in four is not
entirely on Scouting activit
ies. Pointing out that the
program is aimed at youth
generally and not just at
Scout-age boys Glenn Hor
ner says “I keep hoping that
just one program will turn a
young man or girl in the
right direction.”
Recently, Glenn inspired
several of his boys to
undertake a project of
restoration of old private

reminder that what your
"friends" are doing Is
improper. For you to
change would reassure
them that drugs are ok
because "everyone" is
taking part. If you
change, Crisis Line would
advise changing friends
and staying off drugs.
Q. Why do people take
drugs or drink alcohol
when they know It is bad
for them?
A. Many reasons are
given, loneliness,
depression, anxiety,
tension, to loosen up, to
have a good time. The list
goes on and on, but most
of the reasons can be
summed up in a tew
words, the search for
something which Is
lacking. People who
drink alcohol to excess
and who abuse drugs
don't have it all together.
They are seeking to

cemeterys in the Houston
County area. These boys
spent many hours cleaning,
repairing stones and fences
and providing general up
keep on what was at that
time unrecognized historical
sites. In December of 1976
Mr. Horner began work for
recognition of the impor
tance of these sites when he
asked the Warner Robins
Council to name the road
that ran past the cemeterys,
then unnamed, “Frederick
Road" after the Frederick
famiily buried there and
former owners of much of
the surrounding area and
early settlers in Houston
County.
Glenn Horner devotes so
much of his time to Scouting
that he doesn’t have time for
many other activities. He
feels that he must offer
maximum effort to Scouting.
He has served very
effectively as Adult Advisor
for Youth in the Sacred
Heart Catholic Church and
has been prime motivator
for years in getting youth to
participate in the Sacred
Heart Festival held yearly.
His Scouting activities
bring him into close contact
with many civic organiza
tions as well as with city,
county and state officials.
Mr. Horner holds the

compensate tor the
qualities they lack or
which lie hidden within. It
has been said that the
only way people will give
up substance abuse is tor
the substance to be
replaced with womething
that will offer what the
abusing person sought
through his abuse. In
other words, it the
abusing person
seeks happiness through
drugs, then to get that
person oft drugs
something else that otters
happiness must be
substituted. Until people
recognized the many
alternatives to substance
abuse that will better
enable them to find what
they are searching tor,
substance abuse will
continue.

Chapter Advisor for the

has received the “Silver
Beaver Award”, the highest
award that can be bestowed
upon an adult Scouter.
The Col. John Dooly
Chapter, Sons of the
American Revolution was
made aware of Mr. Horner’s
fine work with youth and
also the individual work of
the boys that he inspired to
perform such an outstanding
service in their restoration
of the Frederick Cemeterys.
The Chapter voted to
present an award to the
boys jointly and also, to

given to Mr. Horner from
the State Society. At the
State Convention at Savan

Horner was awarded the

presented by Mr. Gerald G.

drugs?
A. Anytime drugs are
taken in conjunction with
alcohol or other drugs the
same risks exists, that of
multiplying the potency
of the alcohol and drug
beyond expectations.
Many people accidentally
kill themselves each year
as a result of combining
alcohol and drugs or
adding one drug with
another. Never mix
alcohol and drugs or take
more than one drug on
top of another without i
first consulting your
family doctor or phar
macist.

Library. There were
50.000 items in this
collection including
12.000 letters. Mr.
Mitchell gave Mr.
Harwell permission to
edit and publish 424 of
these letters that con
cerned her novel.
These letters are filled
with sparkle, humor, and
warmth. "They tell us
much about the author
and the writing of the
novel. She wrote in one
letter that she rewrote
most chapters 30 times
and some 50. It was a well
known fact that Miss
Mitchell had stated that
none of her personal
letters were ever to be
published, but one of the
published letters con
cluded with, 'you are
greater than your book'."
Mrs. Ryle raised the
suggestion that her
brother disregarded her
request for privacy so
that all could know what
he and the writer of the
letter had found, that she
was a warm, wonderful
person as well as a great
novelist.

late '3o's and early '4o's.
Mr. David Selznick
bought the filming rights
in 1936 for $50,000, and
although he wanted Miss
Mitchell to come to
Hollywood to give
assistance in the filming,
she refused. She
recommended three
Georgians to him, one of
these Miss Susan Myrick
of Macon. Mrs. Lawson
brought out many in
teresting things con
nected with the filming of
the picture; 1,400 can
didates tried out for the
role of Scarlet, Mr.
Selznick personally
directed the filming
which took three years
and cost what was con
sidered a stupendous sum
of money in those days. In
fact it was predicted that
the film would never
make a profit.
However, the film has
won 10 Academy Awards,
has had premier
showings in many of the
great cities of the world
and is still being shown.
The World Premiere was
held in Atlanta. Atlanta
put on a gala three day
festival, and the
Governor of the state
even declared the day of
the premier a state
holiday.
Mrs. Hugh Lawson,
president, presided
during the meeting
opening the meeting with
some lovely thoughts on
October. The club voted
to invite Mrs. Tommie S.
Hunt to join and in
structed the secretary to
write her, with an in
vitation.
