what drew Hilderbrand to work for
the charity.
"I got involved because cancer is
close to home for me. My mother
died of cancer 20 years ago. The lo
cal unit is fantastic, they do an ex
cellent job talking with people with
cancer and helping the person and
their family deal with it, especially
in terminal cases. I've learned that
people have to be individually
aware. If something feels physi
cally different with you than it
should be checked out immedi
ately, 1 ' Hilderbrand said.
According to Flowers, donations
from local businesses will continue
to come in until the day of the
event.
"We have a general list of people
who have contributed in the past
and we try and build on that list ev
ery year. Some of the businesses
in town arc ready when we call
them, it's part of their annual cost
of doing business. Two that spring
immediately to mind arc Jessup
Furniture and Antiques From The
Shed. We pleased with the wide
support and strong following we've
established through time. We're
please we can again offer a wide
cross-section of businesses in the
area," Flowers said.
Hilderbrand expects an excellent
turn-out thanks to publicity given
to the event by Pcachstatc Cable,
Houston Lake Country Club and
local radio stations.
"We welcome everyone in the.
Perry community and invite them
to come out. I realize cancer
touches everyone through a family
member, a friend or a business as
sociate. We challenge anyone who
has been touched by cancer to come
out and lend their needed support
for the fight against cancer," Flow
ers said.

ROTC, from 1A
Paul Lorenzana and Corey
Harvey, bith tenth graders at Perry
High, claim that they, too, are hav
ing fun and learning a lot.
“I’ve really learned how to man
age time and clean up real good,”
Harvey said. Each morning the
cadets’ dormitory rooms are in
spected for neatness and cleanliness.
It has been made quite clear that
perfection is required.
According to all of the cadets
talked to, the hardest part of the
Bricks,
from 1A
it continues someone is liable to
get seriously hurt," Hardy said.
A police car on patrol around
Cathy Street was struck on the
hood by a brick early Thursday
morning. Approximately an hour
later, the same police car, with a
different officer driving, was struck
on the fender with an unidentified
object while patrolling Bess Street.
In the first instance the officer
stopped and looked at the damage
but no suspects were visible. In
the second case, the officer was
unaware an object had been thrown
until he returned to the police sta
tion. The officer reportedly thought
he had run over something.
"We don’t have a suspect, but
police cars in other areas are subject
to this kind of thing. It’s rare in
Perry. It is dangerous not only to
the officer but to innocent
bystanders as well. The car could
swerve, the driver could be hit and
lose control and run into another
vehicle or even up into a house. At
this point we don’t have a lot to go
on," Hardy said.

week has been the early morning
runs, but Lorenzana and Harvey
both said they had prepared before
hand for the strenuous excercises.
“I went out jogging for awhile
before I came here,” Lorenzana said.
Excercising is a real point of in
terest with Barton who has been out
running with the cadets every morn
ing. He is personally preparing the
cadets for the aerobics test they will
take at the end of the week. If a
cadet can run a mile and a half in
the same time or faster than Barton,
the cadet will receive an “A” on the
test.
“Physical fitness is so important
in how the rest of your attitude and
how you perceive yourswelf, but it
is the weakest area in today’s
youth,” Barton explained.
The run is divided up into three
separate groups according to the
cadet’s capabilities. The distances
vary from a mile and a half to four
miles.
Other activities, besides physical
training, the cadets are learning
about are drill and ceremony train
ing and classroom sessions.
During the drill and ceremony
training, the cadets learn discipline
and, most importantly, teamwork.
The cadets arc not only given scores
individually, but their drill teams
are given team scores as well. This
in turn encourages teamwork
among the cadets.
“Learning how to march is a
group of people learning to react as
one,” Barton explained.
In the classroom situations, the
subjects arc geared to the needs of
the cadets and include such things
as how to wear a uniform properly
and how to solve management
problems.
Although it seems like a lot of
work, Barton thoroughly enjoys
training and says that he plans to
continue until he doesn’t have any
thing else to contribute.
“I have people coming back to
me and saying that I made a differ
ence in their lives. I’ll keep doing
this as long as I am contributing,”
Barton said.
Besides work, the cadets are al
lowed some time, although not
much, for relaxation. Swimming
is a popular relaxation activity and
there was also a trip to a Macon
Braves game.
After all the work and learning,
Barton feels that there are some
very promising young cadets within
the group attending the school this
year. He predicts that four or five
of them may even be able to go to
the Air Force Academy.
At least these students will
know that all of their hard work had
paid off.
Maye,
from 9A
art said. “I try to look at the candi
date’s qualifications and make the
best choice. This is the biggest
change in politics in recent his
tory.”
Stewart added that he “would not
rule out anything” if the opportu
nity arose to run for any political
office in the future.
“I studied and learned all I could
and I feel I know something about
county government. If I ever decided
to run for anything again it would
probably be for a county position,”
he said.
“I think Calvin is capable of do
ing a good job, if he puls lime and
energy to it. He has to stand on his
own and make his own decisions
and the decisions of others,” Stew
art said.
“We all need to listen,” he said,
“as a whole and not for a few indi
viduals."

pads that we lay on the roads. Once
we collect that data, we measure the
percentage of accidents to see if the
signal will help the situation. The
only type of accident that a signal
really prevents is what is called a
'right angle accident' where one car
hits another from the side," Reeves
said.
During the pre-council work
session Tuesday night, council
members discussed the high rate of
accidents at the intersection.
Preliminary discussion centered
around the idea of building rumble
strips before the stop sign on
Northside Drive. Councilman
Charles Lewis explained the rumble
strips wouldn't make a difference
because the accidents were not a
question of when a car stopped, but
when it started again.
At the direction of the council
Hay contacted the DOT office in
Thomaston Wednesday requesting
the safety and traffication study be
conducted.
Because Washington Drive is a
state road there is some question
over who would pay for the signal.
Hay asked Van Etheridge, the dis
trict engineer at the Thomaston
DOT office, if Perry would have to
pay for the signal.
Etheridge explained to Hay that
Perry would be responsible for
payment, but the matter could be
discussed with the DOT office in
Atlanta.
Reeves said work on the traffic
count could begin as early as next
week providing the DOT receives
the necessary accident information
from Perry.

believe a signal light is needed.
Janice Walker said, "I definitely
think we need a light because there
are so many accidents. We hear
tires squealing all the time. Pdople
just don't see the stop sign until the
last minute."
Nellwin Moore echoed Walker.
"It's just a matter of time until
someone gets killed. We definitely
need a signal."
Shipley,

against prayer in this case has
opened the way to a just answer to
the 'prayer in schools' controversy?
While the court said in effect
that a Baptist pastor or a Jewish
rabbi on the official school program
may not offer prayer, it did not rule
■that a school child stepping up to
the microphone, or otherwise, may
not voluntarily offer a prayer-in
school or elsewhere!
For example, while a pastor or a
rabbi may not pray in school, if the
valedictorian of the class, or other
student speaker, simply chooses to
open his or her remarks with words
such as, 'Dear God, our Heavenly
father, I pray....' and then proceeds
with whatever statement the indi
vidual prefers, that would not be
prohibited under the court ruling. It
would be voluntary, not state
prescribed. And the state may not'
proscribe such a statement!
In other words, don't put 'prayer'
on the official program, but let it
be known that any individual who
chooses to pray may do so even in
school.
Let the state 'prescribe' nothing
and 'proscribe' nothing. Let each
individual pray or not pray in pub
lic as he or she chooses.
Maybe the court has opened the
way to a solution it did not intend."
