MMR vaccine must be
updated says DHR
Beginning this fall, students
entering sixth grade must receive an
additional vaccination for measles,
mumps and rubella (MMR),
according to the Georgia
Department of Human Resources.
One dose of the MMR vaccine is
given to children at 15 months as
part of the regular series of
childhood immunizations. But
about 5 percent of those vaccinated
do not develop an immunity to the
diseases after one shot.
"It's very difficult to find out
which kids didn't develop an
immunity," says Dr. Paul Wiesner,
interim director of DHR's Division
of Public Health. "By giving a

Wood, from 3A-
It’s not a matter of how clear our
voice is, it is a matter of the
attitude of our heart. Remember
Jesus' response to the widow who
offered her mite? God's heart was
moved much more by the small
"inadequate" gift of sacrifice of this
woman than He was with the
"bountiful" gift of those who gave
with a selfish heart. So nothing,
absolutely NOTHING, is
meaningless to God if it is given
with a heart that wishes to give
Him all.
There is a young man in our
congregation who has been
physically challenged to a point
that it makes it almost impossible
for him to sing. But he can still
whistle! As our congregation
would join their voices to sing, I
could look out and see him

The American Academy of
Pediatrics and the Centers for

recommend giving a second dose of
MMR. In Georgia, 1994 will be
the first year the vaccination will be
required for students entering sixth
grade. They must have a certificate
verifying that they have received the
vaccination.
Shots are available at county
health departments, which charge a
small fee based on a sliding scale,
and at some doctors' offices.

could hear his heart singing. Do
you think God heard him? You
bet!
So let me offer you a word of
encouragement. The next time
your fellowship joins in to sing,
don't be caught thinking, "I can't."
What God hears you saying is, "I
won't." Just know God delights in
the praises of His people. Yes, I
realize there are other ways to praise
Him, and those should never be
neglected either. But don't pass up
the opportunity to use music which
is itself, a gift of God, to wrap your
words in an extra special package
and lay them at the feet of our
loving God. Believe it or not, you
will be a blessing to those around
you, when they see your
willingness to praise God in spite
of our shortcomings.
SING OUT!
The Northrop Cafeteria is located
on Thompson Road, west off of In

Charter night guests should use
the second or third drive from 1-75
