EASTER I.'ARADE AT PARENT-CHILD CENTER —
Last Friday the Chattooga Parent-Child Center held
their annual Easter Parade of children and lunch at the
center in Summerville. After an enjoyable lunch, the kids
of the center paraded in clothes made for the occasion by
their mothers before invited guests and members of the
center board.
The l?arent-Child Center, which is overseen by Berry
College, is headed by Mrs. Winfred Stephens. The center
serves young girls who have become mothers and need to
know how to care for their offspring. The mothers,
whether wed or unwed, learn sewing, taking care of the
baby and young kids, cooking, canning and a multitude
of other things needed in raising their children.
The center is a much needed service for Chattooga
County, providing help to young parents who couldn’t
get the help elsewhere.

“I AM THE CHURCH"” —
This little item came across the desk recently and I
would like to share it with you .. .
I AM THE CHURCH
I am the best friend of mankind. To the man who
prizes sanity, peacefulness, pure-mindedness, social stan
ding and longevity, I am a necessity.
I am hung about with sweet memories — memories of
brides — memories of mothers — memories of boys and
girls — memories of the aged as they grope their way
down the shadows.
In the minds of the greatest men on earth I find a
dwelling place.
ldl live in the lives of the young and in the dreams of the
old.
I lift up the fallen. I straighten the weak. I help the
distressed, I show mercy, bestow kindness and offer a
friendly hand to the man in fine linen and the man in
homespun.
; lam the essence of good fellowship, friendliness and
ove. :
Sometime — some day — some hour — in the near or
iar (fiuture. you will yearn for the touch of my friendly
and.
I am your comforter and best friend.
I AM THE CHURCH!

THE COLD, HARD FACTS —
Over 17,300 Georgians will develop cancer in 1983, ac
cording to the American Cancer Society.
Statistics released by the Society reveal that nearly
29,000 Georgians will be under medical care for cancer
during 1983. At least 6,490 of these patients will be cured
of cancer in the coming year. Today, there are over 55,000
Georgians alive and cured of cancer. Almost one in two
new cancer patients can expect to survive five years or
more.
The Society estimates 9,000 Georgians will die of
cancer in 1983. This represents an increase of 2.3 percent
over the 1982 cancer death rate.
Early detection remains the best defense against
cancer. About 145,000 patients nationwide will die in
1983 who might have been saved by early diagnosis and
prompt treatment.
Cancer doesn’t have to be faced alone. The Georgia
Division of the American Cancer Society stands ready to
help those Georgians who develop cancer.
The Cancer Society provides support for cancer pa
tients through its many programs. The Society provides
free of charge information, and counseling services plus
many resources to help the cancer patient. The Society
also loans sick room supplies and special comfort items
such as hospital beds and wheelchairs for the home-bound
patient. Volunteers prepare surgical dressings and pro
vide transportation to and from doctors’ offices, clinics
and hospital for diagnosis and treatment.
The Georgia Division also sponsors cancer support
groups. Located throughout Georgia, cancer support
groups administer to the emotional needs of patients by
providing an atmosphere for patients, their families and
friends to share common experiences, frustrations and
successes.
So, as the old jingle goes . . . fight cancer with a check
up and a check.

BITS FROM 1907 EDITIONS OF THE NEWS —
A remarkable court decision in a bigamy case has been
handed down at Perugia, Italy, where Charles Balliori, a
tailor, was acquitted of a charge of having two wives on
the grounds that he has two hearts. Four physicians
testified that Balliori had two hearts, and the court at
once decided that this was ample reason for him to marry
two women.
* #* *
Not long since a young fellow undertook to jolly an old
maid, when the following conversation took place.
“Hello, aunty; why don't you get married? I'm just as
good as married now.” How’s that? “Well you see I've
got a parrot and he does the swearing; I've got a hog and
he does the grunting; I've got a tom cat and he stays out
all night, and I've got a stove that smokes. If that is not
as the average husban:il I'il guit. .
o
A Missouri legislator has introduced a bill providing
that no women of that state shall have more than two
hats per year, and that the hats shall not cost more than
$1.98. We haven’t a word to say. If he is a married man he
will get all that is coming to him, if not, he will get it
anyway. ki< &
COULDN’'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER —
This item by President Theodore Roosevelt is a
tribute to people who “are actually in the arena” . ..
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points
out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of
deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to
the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred
by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who
errs and comes short again and again; who knows the
great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends
himself in a worthy cause, who, at the best, knows in the
end of the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the
worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so
that his place shall never be with those timid souls who
know neither victory o: deftiat. i
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK — '
TIMEIS...
... Too slow for those who wait;
. ... Too swift for those who fear;
... Too long for those who grieve;
... Too short for those who rejoice.
But for those who live . . .
Time is not.
Letters To The Editor
Wants Bypass
Dear Editor:
I note with a great deal of interest the news
item of the State asking the City's considera
tion of removal of water and sewerage lines
embedded on the Summerville-Trion Eggad.
The State Right of Way within the old city
limits is 60 feet. Where are they going to put
5-12 feet lanes plus curb and dgutter p%us side
walks without grocuring additional right of
way? The cost of same would be Erohibitive in
relation to the problem. The last im
provements on said road was done in the early
50s and with State funds only.
Now if the D.O.T. really wants to get its
thinking cap on they could start near the
Can’t Afford Jail Renovation

now they are going to raise taxes again. Just
where is this all going to end? Editor, I was
reading in your paper this week where the
county took in $148,589 in beer tax and the ci

much was paid in state and federal beer taxes.
Whg' don’t they take that money and build a

Let's go back to 1905. A severe
tragedy occurred in Royston, a town of
12,000, on a hot night in August. Pro
fessor William Herschel Cobb, teacher,
scholar and philosopher, was mistaken
for a burglar by his wife, Amanda. She
literally blew his head off with a shotgun.
Ty Cobb, their 18-year-old son, was play
ing ball in Augusta. He had idolized his
father. The shock drove Cobb to the point
of mental illness . . . Thus the warrior-like
attitude took over. He blamed all pitchers
and all opponents and exerted wrath upon
them. He would also come to take it out
on everyone handy, such as the waitress
in a case in Detroit. Cobb hit her in the

perfection, and Lord help the one who got

‘“He never got to see me play. But I
know he was watching me, and I never let

shortly before dying, in a reverent, wor

The answer, Mr. Cobb, is “Yes.”
