SNAPPING BEANS
I sat down at the table at
the M & M recently with Mrs.
Bertie Mason of Pennville We
had a nice conversation. She
said she had been busy helping
friends snap beans for canning
and freezing We both agreed
that there is nothing like feel
ing useful and needed.
Several have been talking of
canning and freezing, corn,
tomatoes, etc. Judi Ragon has
been canning tomatoes. She
had a tiny little garden, but has
already gathered 40 roasting
cars of bantam corn, as well as
canned tomatoes and made
pickles and enjoyed squash and
green beans, onions, lettuce,
etc.
Saw Gordon Whitley spread
ing apples to dry on a scaffold
in his backyard.

| thought of pollution, we
thought of Chattanooga and
cities up North, but now we’re
really in on it, too One day
recently we had a beautiful
clear blue sky with fleecy
white pillowy clouds floating
through, but most of our days,
i the air is filled with pollution
and often it seems like it is
cloudy but isn’t
What effect this will have on
our health yet remains to be
seen.
But, oh, how good it would
be to breathe good, fresh pure,
clear air again.

PATROLMAN
GETS TICKET
I was talking to Pete Lyons
recently, and she was telling
me of the shock and chagrin
that Rueben had when he had
to pay a parking ticket-S 1 2 in
Washington, D.C. recently I
believe she said it was in the
vicinity of the Smithsonian In
stitute. It was embarrassing
even though he was told by a
policeman that it was alright to
park where he parked. He still
got the ticket and had to pay
the fine. As you know, he is a
Lieutenant with the Georgia
State Patrol, headquarters,
LaFayette

SHOULD AULD
ACQUAINTANCE . .’
I was up at John D. and Nell
Taylor’s recently and enjoyed a
piece of John D.’s birthday
cake. I enjoyed seeing their
home, which they have re
cently redecorated. Especially
beautiful are the paintings by
Nell’s late Mother
John D. is editor of the new
"U.S Presbyterian News
letter.” We went over some of
the items and had a nice gab
fest sitting around the rectang
ular green kitchen table.
Somewhere in the course of
the conversation, Nell told me
how to peel onions without
crying "Cut the onion from
the root side,” she said, “and
keep your mouth shut tight (I
guess a lot of us should peel
onions more often if this be
the case) If you breath, you
breath the onion fumes into
your tear ducts and start cry
ing.” Makes sense, 1 guess.
Since this instruction, I
peeled an onion for dressing
Sunday, and didn't shed nary a
tear. But I’ll have to peel an
other one to be convinced, be
cause this one had been setting
around until it was nearly dried
up. Try it and let me (or Nell)
know how it works.
EXCITING
It is interesting and exciting
to know when some of our
young people make good or
engage in wholesome activities
So often, the bad things make
the news, that it is extra thrill
ing to hear of the good
I was interested in the re
cent announcement that
Gwynne II Little, a native of
Trion, has accepted a position
as assistant professor of bio
chemistry at Texas Tech Uni
versity’s School ol Medicine in
Lubbock, Texas He is the fine
young son of Dr. and Mrs
Gwynne Little of Irion (He
has his Ph.D. in biochemistry).
We hope to be hearing more
from Lambert Jones, Jr., who
was one of 75 students in the
University System selected to
study this summer the Spanish
culture and language at the
University of Valencia in
Spain. He will be a Senior
when he returns to the Univer
sity of Georgia
Fifty-seven young people
were the guests of the Summer
ville Presbyterian Church for a
mid-night supper and overnight
stay. They were enroute from a
Bible Conference at Montreat,
N. C. to Miami Shores, Fla
It is exciting to see healthy,
handsome young people taking
their vacation to go to a Bible
conference. They consumed
two ovens full of fried chicken,
dozens of pimento cheese sand
wiches, lots of cookies and two
big churns of iced lemonade.
Somehow we gather that
young people don’t appreciate
things. This is not the case, I
think. The youngsters were so
appreciative of the adults who

waited up for them, they
thanked each of us personally.
They just couldn’t believe that
anyone was so interested that
they would sit up till midnight
to see they were fed and
housed for the night.
They reminded me of my
high school and college days.
They were so carefree one
minute and so joyous and seri
ous the next. One minute they
were jumping around like a
swarm of bees and the next,
hushed and silent, sitting
cross-legged on the floor, with
many backs to me showing
green sweat shirts and a yellow
sun with a cross in the middle
of it. Then they burst forth
with some of the most beauti
ful hymns I’ve ever heard, one
was a song about if you know
Jesus you want to share it.
It was worth staying up a
little late to see their genuine
appreciation.
Mrs. Clinton Agnew and
son, Clint, Jr., are now at home
in Summerville, returning from
San Diego, Calif. They await
Clinton’s discharge from
service in September.
Friends will be interested to
know that Robert Agnew was
home visiting his parents, the
Frank Agnews, recently. He is
employed by McGraw-Hill Pub
lishing Company in New York
City.
Among other interesting
items from area young people:
Zeb and Billy Martin have re-
cently been on a two-week
singing tour with the Rome
Boys’ Choir. They visited New
York; Montreal and Ottawa,
Canada; Niagara Falls and
Cleveland.
Bill sang a solo, “Lift Mine
Eyes” and was in the quartet.
Zeb is a member of the tenor
section. The Boys’ Choir was
appointed by former Governor
Maddox and by Governor Car
ter as Georgia Singing Ambas
sadors of Goodwill.
Another refreshing note is
that the Beersheba Presby
terian ladies recently had their
annual quilting day and fin
ished one lovely quilt and set
up another perfectly lovely
one, which will be finished this
month. Two more quilts have
been pieced and will be quilted
during the fall. These four
quilts will be shared with
Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School
and Thorn well Home for Chil
dren.
The young women of the
church are learning to quilt
from the older ladies and thus
this fine art is being passed on.
Gordon Little, Buddy Byars
and Jamie Marks were among
the some 3-4,000 people at
tending the Gideons, Interna
tiona) Convention in Atlanta
held last week. We hope to
report some of the work they
are doing in this ministry soon.

RESPONSE TO THERAPY
The response to the
Therapy Class has been excel
lent.
In thinking about the course
and what it has and does mean
to me and since “Psychology”
seems to be the “in thing”
right now, I decided to share a
few of my notes with readers
from time to time.
All of us are in position to
play the role of therapist at
one time or another, as a
friend, spouse, parent, teacher,
boss, etc.
The two main requirements
for being a therapist are: caring
and being completely trust
worthy.
A therapist needs to
possess:
(I) Knowledge (everybody
gets some knowledge from liv
ing and experience, as well as
observing, reading and study
ing); (2) ability (a therapist
must be able to help someone);
(3) sensitivity to the need (a
therapist must be sensitive to
the cry for help); (4) action
(there is no help unless you act
upon need).
Memorize John 10:8: “1
come that they may have life
and have it more abundantly.”
God wants us all to be
happy and enjoy the Abundant
Life. This comes as a real shock
to most people.
Many have the concept that
the Christian life is a sad life.
That Christ never smiled
(Read: “The Humor of
Christ”). That God loves us
when we’re good and hates us
when we’re bad. They think
that God is out there waiting
for us to do something wrong
so he can chalk up another
demerit against us. They never
get the picture of God as a
loving Father, at all. .. Or the
picture of Christ as being both
human and divine, knowing
our feelings because He, too,
worked hard, sweated, and had
physical needs and hungers as
do we . . . That He loves us
regardless of what we do . . .
That when we sin (all have
sinned and fall short of the
glory of God), He isn’t mad,
He is grieved.
A therapist must avoid four
things’.
(1) Using the power he has
for himself. (You don’t know
everything. Don’t try to ex
plain everyone’s whys. If so,
you put yourself in a dan
gerous position. Be able to say,
“I don’t know” when you
don’t. ‘1 don’t have all the
answers, but 1 know Someone
who does’’ No one wants to
have their brains picked, so
don’t.
(2) Being put on a pedestal.
(Do not permit yourself to be
set up as a person who knows
it all. If you do, like Humpty
Dumpty, you’re in for a great
fall.
(3) Projection. (Projecting
your ambitions, wishes or feel
ings onto someone else, making
them the scapegoat. E. G. You
would like to play the piano,
so you recommend to your
counselee or patient that they
should play the piano when it
is you that wants to play the
piano yourself).
(4) Playing God, (As a
therapist you are not supposed
to give advice. You are not
God).
A good book to read is
“Man, the Manipulator,” by
Everett L. Shostrom, which has
now come out in a Bantam
Book pocket edition. After
reading this book you will
recognize some of your friends,
and perhaps even yourself as
being a Dictator, a Judge, a
Protector, or a Nice Guy.
Two good ears that really
listen are an invaluable posses
sion of a good therapist, a good
parent, a good spouse, a good
Christian, or just anybody.
It is no shock when a person
never listens to anything you
say to learn that his (or her)
child is failing in school, or
that the marriage is shakey.
People are hungry to be
listened to, hungry for what
they say to matter, even if it is
something trivial. And a lot of
times what they say on the
surface is not what they mean
underneath. E.G. a woman
may tell her husband she wants
the money for a new dress.
What she’s saying is that she
wants his attention. If he
looked at her and compli-
