Grandma had her way
of saying it.
We have a better way.
Grandma took pride in her home. And with good
reason: it was her world. About the only time she
wasn’t in front of a hot cookstove, she was steaming
over a galvanized wash tub. Or stooping to scrub the
bleached wood floors.
You take the same pride in your home. Your chores
arc pretty much the same. But you have a lot more
help than grandma did. You have electricity.
You have a lot icsS scrubbing and dusting to do.
Because electric heating and cooling are the cleanest
you can buy.
You can be den mother to your Cub Scouts all
afternoon, and still have the roast done when your
husband comes home. Because an electric range can
cook a whole meal by itself. (Some electric ovens even
clean themselvdSlT *“**“■ “ •
With an electric washer and dryer, you can do the
laundry anytime the hamper gets full. Without waiting
for the sun to shine.
You can have lighting designed for every need, from
putting on your lipstick in the morning to bringing in
the groceries at night.
Put it all together and you have a total-electric home.
Sweet home.

IN MEMORIUM
In memory of
BROOKS DeLOACH
who passed away two years ago
Jan. 19, 1967
When the evening shadows are
falling and we are sitting
all alone;
In our hearts comes a longing
if only you could come
home.
We wonder why you had to go
and leave us here to weep;
For many silent tears we shed,
.while others are asleep.
A precious one from us has
gone, his voice we loved is
still;
His place is vacant in our home
which never can be filled.
Time cannot dim the sorrow or
help to ease the pain;
For the grief I hold within my
heart forever will remain.
The hours go so slowly, the
nights are long and blue;
And not a moment passes by
that I don’t think of you.
They say. that time heals all
sorrow and helps us to
forget;
But time, so far has only proved
how much we miss you yet.
And courage to bear the blow;
But what it meant to lose you,
no one will ever know.
Sadly missed by
Wife, Children and
grandchildren.

Teen-Age Volunteer Workers “GOMOD’
To Support March of Dimes Programs
Teen-age volunteers for
the March of Dimes are
following the lead of their
national chairman, TV star
Kathy Garver, as they “GO
MOD” in a meaningful
manner.
They work extremely hard
to raise money for the March
of Dimes (MOD) fight to pre
vent birth defects, and they
work equally hard on the com
munity service and education
programs needed to win that
tight.
.For example, Teen Age Pro
gram (TAP) volunteers for
the March of Dimes brought
the good old summertime to
handicapped children in Ports
mouth, Va., this year.
fAPs in this southern /city
boosted a recreational project
praised by Portsmouth Health
Department and civic organ
ization co-sponsors. Their
unanimous verdict was that
TAPs reached the children in
away that adults could not.
The Portsmouth teen-agers
devoted the summer holidays
to making summer as much
fun for physically handicapped
children as it is for boys and
girls enjoying normal health.
Each TAP became a “buddy”
to a particular youngster. They
drove the children to and from
the city park, where games
and arts and crafts classes
were set up for them. They
played checkers, catch-ball
games, held sing-alongs, read
stories and helped their small
charges romp through other
specially planned activities.
The Portsmouth project was
only one outlet for the thou
sands of March of Dimes TAPs
who serve communities across
the nation year-round. In
cities, towns and rural centers
they help to support the March
of Dimes in its nationwide pro
gram to prevent birth defects.
Since 1958, when the volun
tary health organization re
directed its energies and re
sources from the successful
war on polio, it has established
more than 100 Birth Defects
Centers. The extensive March
of Dimes program includes pa

TAPPING OUT TUNES was part of a summer of fun organized by
the Teen Age Program (TAP) of the March of Dimes at a recreation
al project for handicapped children in Portsmouth, Va
sional education and public
health information programs.
Despite our nation’s excel
lent health standards, a quar
ter of a million infants are
born each year with physical '
or mental defects. As future
parents, teen-agers have
shown their concern for pre- ■
venting these tragedies.
Community education ranks
high with TAPs. Evidence of
this is the growing attendance
at Young Adult Conferencesi
on Birth Defects sponsored I
during the year by the March I
of Dimes.
The organization’s first na
tional conference held at Brig- ■
ham Young University, Provo, •
Utah, drew more than 300
TAP representatives from 48
states as well as delegates from i
28 youth organizations and ■
17 adult organizations.

ATLANTA, (GPS)—With a
change from a Democratic to a
Republican administration in
Washington and several signi
ficant shifts of positions in the
9Ut Congress, the paramount
question is: How will the na
tion fare under these new con
ditions ?
Georgia’s U. S. Sen. Herman
E. Talmadge, beginning his
third 6-year term in the Senate,
is hopeful that the two branches
of government “will work joint
ly together” in seeking solu
tions to the many problems still
confronting the nation. Said
he:
“It is far too early to make
any concrete predictions of just
what course the United States
government will take in the
months ahead in dealing with
the many complicated domestic
and foreign problems that are
still very much with us.
“But at this point we can and
do hope that the days to come
will bring renewed strength and
unity to the people of our great
nation. It appears that Mr. Nix
on has selected an able Cabinet,
and he has demonstrated con
cern about the extremely crit
ical social and economic prob
lems that confront the United
States, as well as the desire to
press for an honorable settle
ment to the war in Vietnam at
the earliest possible moment.
"Many of these problems, in
fact most of them, cross party
lines and, in my judgment, most
members of Congress and pub
lic servants will put the coun
try's welfare above party and
not resort to partisan politics
on worthwhile programs that
affect the economic stability of
our nation and the w’ell-being
of all our people.
"I certainly hope this will be
the case and that sectional,
political, and racial unity can
be restored throughout all the
United States in the common
pursuit of solutions to the na
tion’s problems.”
Where should this restoration
program begin? Sen. Talmadge
has his own ideas about that.
“It is my feeling,” he said,
"that our greatest needs lie in
the areas of education and job
training. We must have less
talk about guaranteeing this
and giving that, and more em
phasis on schooling and training
and the creation of more and
better jobs.
“This is the way to bring
about real solutions to unem
ployment, poor housing and
through giveaway programs
hard-core poverty, and not
that stifle personal initiative
and treat symptoms but not
causes.

these words:
, “It is my hope that the new

to achieve peace with honor in

Strike it out of your mind
that baseball originated in
Cooperstown, New York.
Abner Doubleday was a hero
in the Civil War battle of
Gettysburg—but he was not,
yyj
according to modern re
search, the originator of base
ball.
The game developed from
a wilder hit and run English
game, called Rounders, where
the object was staying at bat,
not scoring runs.
But even if baseball isn’t
completely American, native
players have turned it into
one of the most bizarre and
woolly games ever invented.
