County Seeking
NYC Program
Chattooga County may be among the first places in
the nation to get a Neighborhood Youth Corps (NYC) un
der the anti-poverty program.
James Spence heads a committee which plans to submit
a NYC plan to the new Chat
tooga County Advisory Commit
tee for Children and Youth
Monday night. If the advisory
committee approves it, the next
step will be presenting it to the
Chattooga Board of Education at
4 p.m. Tuesday. After that, it
would go to federal authorities
for approval.
The ,NYC will enroll boys and
girls between the ages of 16 and
21 who need financial aid to at
tend school. These students will
receive part-time employment in
public 'or private, non-profit in
stitutions, with the federal gov
ernment financing most of the
Coßt. x ,
The NYC will be fpr (1) students
having financial difficulty stay
ing in school; (2) those who have
left school for economic reasons
and w|ll return; and (3) to pro
vide needed work experience for
those permanently out of school
and unemployed.
Serving with Mr. Spence on the
copimittee are Will Hair, Miss
Frances Johnston, Mr. and Mrs.
F. H. Boney and Graves Mj'ers.
Cartersville has alreday sub
mitted its NYC application and
is expected to be the first in the
nation approved. The Economic
Opportunity Act provided funds
for the project.
Jack Howard, a special assist
ant to the Under Secretary of
Labor, is director of the YNC
nationally.
Bedridden Trion
1
Lad Keeps Up With
Class By Telephone
Many children may frown at the prospect of school
work.'
But not nine-year-old David Shadrick, Trion third
grader. - ■
He smiles at the prospect, despite having to lie flat of
his stomach while doing home
work.
The blue-eyed, curly-haired
lad is bedridden as a result of
recent spinal surgery and he has
to assist him with his school
work the county’s first school-to
home telephone system.
The system almost makes
David believe he’s in the class
room Instead of lying on his bed.
His teacher, Miss Martha Hay
good, simply dials David’s home
from the classroom, he picks up
the phone by his bed, says,
“Hello,” and then listens as she
talks to the rest of the class,
doing whatever she instructs
them to do. If he has a question,
he can ask it just like any other
student and receive an answer
from the teacher.
David has a special reason for
wanting to keep up with his les
sons —his seven-year-old brother
Mark is a second grader and he
doesn’t want Mark to catch up
with him.
“This was his main worry as
he awaited surgery,” said his

A Thanksgiving Prayer for America
BY THE REV. DONALD A. HYDE
Menlo Presbyterian Parish
Our Fattier, we pray for this land. May we begin to see that all
true Americanism begins in being Christian—that it can have no
other foundation, as it has no other roots. To Thy glory was this
Republic established. For the advancement of the Christian faith
did the Founding Fathers give their life's heritage, passed down
to us.
We would pray that all over this land there may be a return to the
faith of those men and women who trusted in God as they faced
the perils and dangers of the frontier, not atone in crossing the
continent, in building their cabins, in rearing their families, in
eking out a living, but in raising a standard of faith to which men

Baker Farrar, chairman Os the
library board, emphasized the
need. It was pointed out that
federal matching funds are
available for new facilities.
Mrs. Enloe explained that the
workroom at the headquarters
in LaFayette has 375 square feet.
And in this space, she said, all
the routine work by the regular
libraries and the bookmobile li
braries is done. In addition, the
space houses some 5,000 books.
The main library also is too
scheduled, the theme of which 1
