The Minister Speaks . . .
BY REV. J. L. ROLLINS
Pastor Summerville Methodist Church
As we come back to the Au
tumn season, I suppose that it is
natural for each of us to look
back on the Summer and think
of the things that we might have
done, or planned to do, or the
places we intended to have gone
but did not go. Maybe before
cold weather closes in on us we
expect to take one last fling at
the season to try to make up for
all that we have missed.
Well, that is something of the
nature of all of life. There is so
much that we intended to do
when youth was with us that we
never got around to doing it.
Maybe a lot was in our plans but
something interfered with the
accomplishing of these plans
and it never became a part of
our experience. Now as the Au
tumn season of life approaches
we plan to try to take one mdre
fling at the summer which is
past so that we may share the
experience or do what was in our
minds when youth was with us.
But too often such last flings
are more hurtful to self and oth
ers than these experiences are
helpful.
Many of these things should
have been done to make life
fuller. Many are not worth griev
ing over and God in His wisdom
and love has seen to it that these
desires never became experi
ences. I know that we are crea
tures of choice but I am a be
liever in the guiding hand of
God.
But whether these experiences
would have been for good or ill

30-inch corrugated iron, and the floor is

ped with a waterproof plastic liner. The
entire building is so constructed as to
reduce the hazard of fire to a minimum.

is not of too much importance
now. The fact is that Autumn
is here and the Summer is past,
and all we have left is the pres
ent and whatever God may give
us of the future. There is not a
single second -that any individ
ual can change or recall of the
summer. The past is for ever
behind us. All we have is the
Autumn and the opportunities
that come with the season
whether it be the season of the
year or this period in life. To
grieve over what is wasted will
be of little help now. The im
portant challenge before us is
that we use well the opportuni
ties which are left us, and thus
make whatever contribution to
the happiness of those who walk
with us in the Autumn season.
There is some one who has been
waiting for a friend to pass and
share in sorrow and burdens
which have been his lot. In the
joy we see on the faces of those
we help to make life's load a lit
tle lighter will help to ease the
pain that has come to us
through our own sin and loss.

Damage suits totaling $33,500
have been filed by a Chattooga
County couple against three
parties, including a Summer
ville minister.
Mr. and Mrs. John Luster are
seeking the sum as the result of
an automobile accident in Cobb
County July 3 of this year in
which Mrs. Luster was injured.
The defendants are the Rev.
Leonard O. Prosser, pastor of the
Summerville Church of God,
Clifton E. Hollabauga and Mar
tha White Mills, Inc.
Mr. and Mrs. Luster said in
their petition that they were
among six passengers in the
Prosser automobile, on their way
to a church meeting in Doraville,
when the accident occurred. The
Prosser vehicle hit the rear of
another car, that driven by Hol
labauga, and was then hit from
the rear by the Mills vehicle, ac
cording to the petition. Mr.
Luther said he suffered bruises
but Mrs. Luster was hospitalized
and suffered external and inter
nal injuries.
They contend the defendants
were driving more than 60 miles
an hour on wet slippery pave
ment and were negligent.

Negroes Did
Not Choose
Pool Over Gym
(The chairman of a Negro Ad
visory Committee and City Clerk
Sam Sitton said this week the
committee did not state that
Negro citizens “preferred a
swimming pool to a gymna
sium”.
*The News had been told and
had reported in an editorial last
week that the committee had a
choice two years ago between a
pOol and a gymnasium. However,
Thomas C. Scott, chairman of
tile committee, and Mr. Sitton
said this was not the case.
They said the Negro commit
tee did ask about building a
gymnasium with Recreation
bond money which had been set
aSide for Negroes, but were told
there was not sufficient funds.
Decision then centered on other
possibilities, including that of a
lighted field, a swimming pool,
etc., with the final decision
being for a swimming pool.
Scott said this week he wanted
the colored citizenry, especially,
to know that his committee did
not select a pool in preference
to a gymnasium. Other members
of the’ committee were Clifford
Rounsaville and Richard Stur
divant.
The use of Southern hard
w'oods in the manufacture of
various pulp and paper industry
products is steadily rising. The
1960 harvest of hardwood for
pulp, 4 million cords, set a new
record in the South for the 10th
consecutive year.
