World Day
Os Prayer Set
In Summerville
Three Summerville churches
will combine for a World Day of
Prayer observance at 7:30 p.m.
Friday at the Summerville Pres
byterian Church.
They are the Summerville
First Baptist, Presbyterian and
Methodist churches.
“More Than Conquerors” is
the theme of the 1963 service,
the 77th such occasion. The
theme was inspired by the Apos
tle Paul’s encouraging words to
the Romans that neither tribu
lation, distress, persecution, fam
ine, nakedness, peril nor sword
can separate from the love of
Christ for “in all these things
we are more than conquerors
through Him who loved us”.
Leaders noted that Chattooga
Countians prayed together dur
ing the Cuban crisis and called
upon them to do so at this time.

Influenza still flirted with
Chattooga County this week,
but there was no epidemic.
In nearby Floyd County, how
ever, the illness was reportedly
prevalent, with some schools and
factories finding it difficult to
keep in operation.
School officials, industrial
leaders and physicians in Chat
tooga County told The News this
week, however, that there ap
pears to be nothing like a wide
spread outbreak of flu here. In
the Trion school system, for in
stance, absenteeism was lower
Wednesday than it had been
earlier. In Chattooga County, it
was about the same.
All of the several physicians
questioned felt there was only
a little more influenza than is
normal for this time of year.
And one said he had seen only
one person who appeared to have
real flu. A great many had upper
respiratory illnesses, he said.
Symptoms reported with in
fluenza Include severe aching,
colds, little interest in food, sore
throat and, in younger children,
stomach upset. Bed rest, drink
ing plenty of fluids and taking
aspirins are often prescribed
when there are no complica
tions.

Notes J
How many folks in Chat
tooga County make $163 a
week and git a nice new house
rent-free?
Not many, I'd bet.
Yet, that’s what the sheriff
would git if Mr. Sloppy Floyd’s
bills had a passed, and they
say Mr. Bo Loggins thought
that wuzn’t enough. Mr. Floyd
sed Mr. Loggins one time sug
gested they pay the sheriff
$12,500 —that $240 a.week! And
a rent-free house, too.
Nope, 1 ain’t so sure but
what Mr. Floyd's figure ain’t
a bit high itself. And I know
darn well the figure of $12,500
is.
