DIVIDEND DAYS AT YOUR FORD DEALER’S

t Village Day will be used to con- j
i struct a second unit of homes!
11 for 28 more residents and to
-1 help provide care for residents {
J; who otherwise could not live at j
j; the Village, the administrator,!
; the Rev. Harvey Mitchell, said I
; j today.
A $150,000 offering will assure
. the immediate letting of the !
- contract for the construction of
? the second unit, he declared,
i “Georgia Baptists’ ministry, to
• our senior citizens at the Village,
; now in its second year, is moving
forward and the waiting list of ,
: prospective residents is growing '
daily,” the administrator said.
Baptist Village is a $3,000,000,
project and when completed, it
will accommodate 300 residents.
He explained that the purpose of
the Village is- to provide com
plete modern care for senior
■citizens and both men and worn- ,
en 65 or over are eligible.
“Each individual is considered
on his own merits and each pays
according to his ability,” the
Rev. Mr. Mitchell stated.
Residents at the Village repre
sent all sections of the state and
I many different professions, he
I pointed out.
Some of the residents were
j housewives on farms and in
I small towns and cities, he said,
i One worked for almost 25 years '
, with the Sunday School Depart
i ment and another spent a tour
of duty as a medical missionary
jin China. Some were school
teachers and one is a retired
! minister. There are two nurses,
! a former dietitian at the Geor
; gia Baptist Hospital, and a for
mer faculty member of Brenau
| College.
Village residents spend their
day in about the same way they
would if they were at home,
doing the things they like to do,
the administrator said.
They also help the staff of the
I Village in many ways.
Morning devotions, conducted
iby residents themselves, start
| the day off. Many visitors come |
i to see them both in the morning ;
j and afternoon. Twice weekly the |
[ residents enjoy going to town on i
! shopping trips.
On Sunday the residents at
tend the church of their choice
।in Waycross. One of the high
! lights of the week comes on
j Sunday afternoon when they
have their own worship service I
। from 4:30 to 5, with a speaker
। invited in to bring the message.
I Once a month the Village has
THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS
a birthday party in honor of all'
who have birthdays during the
month. At the last party, a resi
dent said she w.as 75 years of
age and she could not remember
a happier birthday in all her
life.
“The residents have many
pleasures here in the way of fur- 1
thering their hobbies and enjoy |
the recreational opportunities
according to their ability,” the
Rev. Mr. Mitchell said. Two
residents’ hobby is maintaining
a day lily bed to the delight of
the residents and visitors.
He added that the residents
are watching with interest the
building of a 20-acre lake, given
by a South Georgia lady, which
j will afford them “a great deal of
pleasure, either actively or pas
sively.”
How do the residents feel
about their Village?
One said the other day that
she was “delighted beyond words
to be with such pleasant people
in such harmonious surround
ings.”
“Baptist Village seems like a
little corner of heaven,” another
: resident declared.

Retired Rail
Workers Gain
Pension Laws
A recently approved law will
: benefit retired railroad workers
who are eligible for V.A. Pen- j
sions, points out Pete Wheeler, ■
director of the State Department!
of Veterans Service.
Wheeler called attention to
i Public Law 86-28, approved by
j President Eisenhower May 19,
1959. It was effective June 1.
This law authorized an in
crease of 10 per cent in benefits
for retired railroad workers and
for widows and widowers of de
ceased railroad workers.
In addition, Wheeler noted,
the new law provides that rail
road retirement benefits NO
longer will be counted as income
for federal disability pension;
purposes for veterans.
Under the Railroad Retire
ment Act prior to the passage of I
the new law, retired railroad
workers who are war veterans,'
and who would be eligible for a
veterans pension except for the
fact that their retirement pay
caused their income to exceed
| the pension income limitation, ■
j could waive enough of their;
| railroad retirement pay to come
i within the limitations.
Now, under this new law, none I
of the railroad retirement bene- j
fits count as income, and vet- :
erans can cancel their waivers
and receive all of their railroad
retirement pay, plus the V.A.
Pension, if otherwise eligible.
Generally, veterans who arel
totally and permanently dis- J
abled, or who have reached age
65, are eligible for a pension
from the federal government.
Wheeler said offices of the
State Department of Veterans j
Service will be glad to furnish ;
additional information or assist-|
ance.
