"It was a real good group," said

went real smooth."
The drama team performed the
musical "Live It To the Max!" in
churches in the various towns, be
sides doing a little bit of sight-see
ing.
Those youth who went are Jen
nifer Nunn, Amy Fincher, Meredith

planning to present the musical to

"We've had a couple of people
contact us, so we might be doing it
around here," he said.
Quartet slates
area reunion
Memories from 50 years ago
will be recalled when 16 surviving
members of the Smile-A-While
Quartet gather in Macon on July 6.
Marking their arrival in Georgia
in 1939, the popular gospel quartet,
their wives, and widows of several
deceased members will hold a three
day reunion at the Holiday Inn at I
-475 and U.S. 80 in Macon.
From 1939 to 1954 the quartet
sang twice daily on WMAZ Radio.
Early in 1940 an audience check re
vealed a listening audience in six
teen slates and islands of the At
lantic. In April of that year, the
Smile-A-While quartet sang to the
largest paid audience ever assembled
in the Macon City Auditorium.
According to one of the original
members, thirty-eight men were
with the quartet during its fifteen
years on WMAZ. Lynn Utley,
whose father, "Deacon" Utley man
aged the group, says efforts to lo
cate these men have revealed that
fourteen have died; another four
could not be located.
Besides "Deacon" Utley and Ho
race Floyd of the original group,
both of whom are deceased, Morgan
Paul will be unable to attend be
cause of illness. The original bass,
Arvin Burrow, and Lynn Utley,
who was pianist for the quartet,
both will be participating.
Utley says the highlight of the
three-day reunion will be a public
concert at the Macon City Audi
torium on July 7. Beginning at
7:30, the concert will feature three
full quartets from the former mem
bers, and a chorus of sixteen voices.
Also appearing will be the Mimbs
Family of Dublin and The Dixie
Rhythm Singers of Rochelle.
Advance tickets for the concert
are S 6 and may be purchased at the
Christian Book Stores in Perry and
Warner Robins. Admission at the
door will be $7, Utley said.
Figures high
for sex virus
A statewide epidemic of the sex
ually transmitted HPV virus affects
as many as 30 to 35 percent of
sexually active young female Geor
gians, according to doctors at At
lanta's Institute for Gynecologic
Oncology.
Drs. Benedict Bcnigno and
Matthew O. Burrell of the institute
feel this rapidly spreading disease
has been underreported because no
fatalities have been attributed to it.
"While HPV itself is not fatal,
the virus can lead to cervical cancer
from which more die each year than
AIDS," Dr. Burrell says.
The doctors blame the epidemic
on sexual promiscuity and point
out that no segment of the teenager
young woman population is im
mune to it.
"We sec the HPV in prostitutes
as well as in successful career
women and students from exclusive
schools," Dr. Bcnigno said.
This is primarily a women's
disease and men who contract it
have much milder cases, the doctors
say.
It is virtually impossible to
eradicate the HPV virus, but the
potentially dire repercussions can be
avoided if iLs presence is detected by
screening with space-age technol
ogy and treated early enough.
The group in front of Niagara Falls, Canada
.. .They did stop for a scenic tour in between performances
Raincoats were a must from this angle of the falls
...A little mist never hurt anyone though
The youth group stopped at Churchhill Downs, Ky.
...This is the home of the Kentucky Derby

husband's company.
The four-bedroom, three-bath
room home is furnished w ith all of
the Halls things from their other
home. That includes pictures
they've taken and lots of airplane
memorabilia. Two things to note
are the coffee table and the Indian
needlework picture on the wall.
"Jerry's mother did that," Mrs.
Hall said, pointing to the picture.
"Jerry is one-quarter Cherokee."
On the coffee table is giant
compass that was once used on
ships to navigate.
"It's made of frosted glass so

The bannister has a grand livingroom view
...This room looks even bigger with the cathedral ceiling
they could draw on it. We always
keep it pointing north," she said.
Mrs. Hall said the outside of the
house is cedar with a scaler on it to
keep the natural color. There arc all
hardwoods inside, she said.
One might think it would be
difficult to heat and cool a large
house with high ceilings, but Hall
said it's not.
They are using heat pumps, she
said.
Mrs. Hall they've put a lot of
work into getting the house they
way they want it. From the looks
of it, they’ve succeeded.
