MOUNT BERRY David
Smith has been awarded a
leadership scholarship to at
tend Berry College, lie is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis
Smith of Mount Berry and the
grandson of Mr and Mrs W. H.
Smith, Sr., of Lyerly.
A 1970 graduate of Armu
chee High School, David was
active in Hi-Y, Key Club,
Spanish Club, 4-H ( lub and the
Student Council He was voted
wittiest in senior superlative
competition. Berry College is
coeducational, fully accredited
and offers bachelor of arts,
bachelor of music and bachelor
of science degrees. Majors and
minors are offered in more
than four dozen fields of
study, plus eight preprofes
sional sequences.
Berry offers students a
threefold program of academic
achievement, work oppor
tunity and religion in life.
Is it old-fashioned to expect a
Governor to be honest and
unselfish? Is it too much to insist that
he speak for all the people, not just
big business and special interests?
Should a Governor seek advantages
for large corporations while he
raises our taxes?
No, never again, say hundreds of
thousands of Georgians who are
voting for Jimmy Carter September 9.
Jimmy Carter would rather be right
than rich. He puts honesty and
integrity above selfish gain. He'll
bring us together. Not boss us
around. Our next four years can
be our best four years with
Jimmy Carter as Governor.
HAY MAKING
Some of the most beautiful
scenery, no doubt, in the world
can be viewed around and
about as the farmers are mow
ing grass and baling hay. Dif
ferent landscapes of mountains
and valleys give an illusion of
spring, they are so green, while
others remind us that fall is
coming soon, with trees begin
ning very subtly to turn.
Had a nice trip down
through Lyerly, Chattoogaville
and Gaylesville to Ellis’ Sun
day. Ernie Gilmore of East
Gadsden played many musical
favorites on the piano during
the meal . . . many old favor
ites like “Old Rugged Cross,”
“In the Sweet By and By,”
"Beautiful Dreamer,” “Some
where My Love,” etc. Saw the
prettiest bouquet I’ve seen all
year different colors and sizes
of dahlias in a clear pitcher.
The music, food, flowers lent a
nostalgic feeling to the occa
sion.
Very beautiful was the drive
from Gaylesville over the
mountain to Fort Payne. A lot
of people were in town to go
to the newly redecorated
Opera House to see and hear a
60-male voice group of barber
shop singers from Birmingham.
Other interesting events are
slated for fall and winter. The
drive on back through Valley
Head and up the mountain to
Mentone and Cloudland and
through Menlo and thence to
Summerville was also indeed
beautiful. An illusion of blue
mountains was formed by the
shadows of clouds over the
mountain range in places.
Noting the signs to Little
River Canyon, I reflected that
it has been a long time since I
have been there and to Citadel
Rocks, another truly marvelous
natural phenomena. Am sure
these places are nice now and
will be a riot of color in
another month or so.
Along the road, got several
whiffs of some wild flower that
smelled like a fragrant per
fume.

ANDY
Recently I made the ac-
Rambling Around
By Mary Jo Logan
quaintance of cute blue-eyed,
thick curley lashed Andy, 3'A,
of Teloga.
Andy is the son of Tom and
Faye Cantrell.
He really enjoyed Bible
School. The first night, though,
when he got home, he cried
and cried and cried. He said he
wanted his lion. His parents
had no idea what he was talk
ing about. The next night they
learned that the children had
been given a picture of a lion
and were supposed to take it
home. He was a very happy
little lad that night, safe and
secure with his lion.
He didn’t know his teacher’
names. He just called them by
the color of their dresses, the
“blue teacher” and the “pink
teacher.”
At the final exercises (at
Beersheba Presbyterian
Church), he was David, the
shepherd boy and looked so
cute with a white scarf draped
over his head and belted, a
striped robe and cane, and he
carried a sling shot. This is
something he’ll never forget.
Faye said children can ask
questions that they have no
idea the depth of. Andy, she
reflected, is always asking her
if she knows different people.
One day recently, he asked,
“Mama, do you know your
self?”
She said that really made
her stop and think. “Some
times we don’t really know
ourselves. There is a lot of
pretense about us.”
“It is hard to answer a ques
tion like that. As the saying
goes, we are really three
persons:
The one we think we know.
The one we know.
The one others know.”

ROLLER RINK
IN OPERATION
Know the young folks are
glad to see Reynolds Chamlee’s
Roller Rink in operation again.
There were quite a few young
sters and toddlers skating the
other night when I was over
there. Jackie Cooper and I
played 18 holes of miniature
golf while her grandson, Sidney
of West Point, enjoyed skating.
The golf course is very nice and
is under roof with one side
exposed to beautiful green
forest. This is the first time I
•ever' played, and we will not
mention my score at all what-
I soever .. . But it was fun,
I nonetheless.

PICNICS
The Farm Bureau certainly
' had a nice feed for members
and their families last Thursday
night. I’ve never seen such a
crowd at the Memorial Home. 1
' thought I knew nearly every
body around here by sight any
; way, but I sure saw a lot of
| folks that I didn’t know. And
| it was good to see old friends
i such as Miss Ruby O’Rear over
I from Mentone, Ala., and
I others.
I think it would be nice to
go on a picnic to DeSota Falls
before cold weather sets in.

Suggested prayer: “Lord
help me to be aware of the
times that I am unkind to
others.”

Stresses ‘Rural’ Development
CEDARTOWN U.S. Sen.
Herman Talmadge Saturday
continued to press for rural
development, terming it “a
vital key to the future security
and well-being of America.”
The Georgia senator, speak
ing here at the dedication of
the new $2.5 million Polk
County water system, called
for increased federal, state, and
local efforts to restore more of
an economic and population
balance between rural and
urban areas of the country.
“This balance is so essential
to the peace, prosperity, and
welfare of all our citizens city
dwellers and people on the
farm and in the small towns
alike that the highest priority
must be given to the revitaliza
tion and development of rural
areas,” Sen. Talmadge de
clared. “The tremendous social
and economic problems that
plague our cities, urban
poverty, crime and congestion,
make it critically clear that we
cannot go on repeating mis
takes of the past that have
caused the mass migration of

millions of people from rural
to urban areas,” he asserted.
Sen. Talmadge has offered
an amendment to the farm bill,
now pending before the Senate
Agriculture Committee, to
prod the Administration into
expanding rural planning and
development. “Legislation such
as this can be an important
step toward reversing the rural
to-urban trend which is turning
small towns into ghost towns
and cities into unmanageable
and ungovernable nightmares,”
he said.
He pointed out that con
siderable progress is being
made through programs of the
Economic Development Ad
ministration, the Farmers
Home Administration and
other federal agencies. The
Polk County water system,
which will serve some 2,500
rural families and promote in
dustrial growth, was financed
through a $2.5 million FHA
loan, which Sen. Talmadge
cited as an “outstanding ex
ample of federal, state and
local cooperation leading to
rural development in Georgia.
This is the kind of effort that
must be put forth on a larger
scale to narrow the gap be
tween urban and rural oppor
tunities.”
Sen. Talmadge warned
against allowing the rural-to
urban migration to continue at
its present rate. “Countless
rural communities, once thriv
ing and prosperous, are facing
social and economic bank
ruptcy. Industry, more jobs
and better incomes, must be
made to do what agriculture is
no longer able to do,” he said.
“On the other hand, large
cities are facing gradual strang
ulation. They find themselves
increasingly unable to cope
with the influx of under-edu
cated rural migrants who are
ill-prepared for urban living or
employment. Congested traffic
arteries, air and water pollu
tion, soaring crime rates, and
the housing blight are rapidly
reducing our cities to unlive
able shambles,” Sen. Talmadge
declared.
