Coffee Break
By HELEN BUFFINGTON
More interesting data about Chattooga connections
with President Lyndon Johnson has come to our atten
tion during the past few days.
You may recall that last week we told of Jim Richie’s
young cousin who is a close friend of the Johnsons and
who has escorted the president’s younger daughter, Lucy
Baines Johnson.
Mrs. W. P. (Beth) Martin of Summerville, it turns
out, also has Johnson connections.
(But I hasten to add, it was not the modest Mrs.
Martin who brought this to our attention.)
The story is this: A late uncle of Mrs. Martin’s, A. J.
Wirtz, was a close friend of Mr. Johnson and managed
his first senatorial campaign. Mr. Wirtz, by the way, was
an Undersecretary of the Interior during President
Roosevelt’s administration.
In addition, the Wirtz’s son-in-law, Dr. James C.
Cain, a staff member at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn.,
is one of Mr. Johnson’s physicians.
Mrs. Martin says that so far as she knows, Dr. Cain
is not the official personal physician of the president.
In fact, she says she doesn’t know whether he has named
an official physician. However, Dr. Cain was among those
who treated Johnson before he became president and he
may have treated or examined him since, says Mrs. Mar
tin, although she has no definite information on this.
She did note that the president’s younger daughter
was among a group visiting in the Cain home a few
weeks ago. Miss Johnson had gone to Wisconsin to visit
and her group went on to Minnesota at the time to see
the Cains.
Mrs. Wirtz, who is a sister of Mrs. Martin’s mother,
Mrs. J. D. Mosheim of Chickamauga, lives in Rochester.
By the way, Mrs. Wirtz is expected to arrive next week
for a visit with Mrs. Mosheim.
I asked Mrs. Martin if she had ever met the president.
“Yes, I have,” she replied. “I think it was the summer
Bill and I were married. We were staying with my aunt
(in Austin, Texas) and he came to their home while we
were there. Mr. Jonnson was a senator at that time and
was a very pleasant person.”
Our own Congressman John W. Davis recently gave
an interesting account of a social function which he and
his wife attended at the White House, pointing out that
he danced with Mrs. Johnson and that Mrs. Davis
danced with the president.
With all this, the White House doesn’t seem so far
away, does it?

Mothers Challenged to Help
Decide Fate of Today's World
Paganistic communism has grown and outdone us in
many liclds because those who believe in it are willing to
give their all while we have become self-sufficient and com
placent.
So declared Mrs. Edgar Brooker, Dalton mother and
civic leader, when she spoke Fri
day at the annua) Chattooga
Home Demonstration achieve
ment luncheon at Riegeldale
Tavern.
Speaking of the stockpiling of
weapons, the tensions and chaos
of today, Mrs. Brooker said there
is another side of the picture.
She then said: “I am a mother.
This is the only world I can give
. . . the very scientific dis
coveries which could doom us
could usher in an era of healing
of disease and of clothing and
housing the world’s needy if we
all would but live by the ex
ample and teachings of the
humble Galilean.”
Mrs. Brooker said we are not
victims of circumstances but
can decide our own destiny. She
called for working hands, speak
ing minds and dedicated hearts
on the part of this nation’s
women.
“If women in Viet Nam, India,
China or anywhere else in the
world weep, we must weep,” she
