Richard Harold Clay
Clay will attend
Boys State at
GSU this summer
By PAULINE LEWIS
Staff Writer
Richard Harold Clay of Perry, a
rising senior at Houston County
High School, will go to Boys State
at Georgia Southern University in
Statesboro, June 12-18.
Clay was nominated by his his
tory teacher, Rebecca Gibson. Two
students from each high school in
Georgia will be named for this
honor. Clay is the only Perryan at
Houston County High School to
receive this honor this year.
He is the son of Harold Clay and
Nelda Clay of Perry. During his ju
nior year, he completed one year in
AFJROTC and holds the rank of
Cadet MSGT. He also completed
courses in U.S. History, English,
and one year in Band, playing bass
drum.
In Perry, he and his family are
members of Perry United Methodist
Church where he attends Sunday
School and Youth Activities, and
is a member of the church softball
team.
Clay’s hobbies are assembling
models - of anything.
For the summer vacation, he
plans to rest some, and then get
ready for his senior year in school.
Thompson,
from 4A
1996, but I didn’t really have any
idea about what changes—if any-he
might have in mind.
And, I didn’t realize that instead
of focusing strictly on defense, that
part of the senator’s focus now
seems to be shifting to another all
important subject-the breakdown of
the American family.
Judis also indicated that he per
sonally thinks running for U.S.
President is not an option for
Nunn, at least not in 1996, and that
the job of secretary of state holds
much attraction for him.
I, myself, would like to see Sen.
Nunn in the Oval Office, but if that
just isn’t in the cards for 1996, then
I agree with Judis that President
Clinton would be wise to replace
the current holder of this office—
Warren Christopher-with our sena
tor from Perry, Georgia.
Christopher has been nothing
short of irresolute and blundering,
while Nunn-whose caution about
getting the U.S. military involved
in crusades and his insistence on
matching military means to strate
gic ends-would serve the U.S. well
at a time when national and ethnic
rivalries are creating constant temp
tations to use American troops.
But, whatever happens in 1996-
whatever decision Sen. Nunn makes
when the next election finally rolls
around, I, personally, have one
request
And, that is that he slays in pub
lic office. I don’t care which office,
just as long as it’s in Washington.
Certainly, the senator must
sometimes long for a normal, ev
eryday life, but, the simple fact is,
if ever wt needed people of his great
stature and demeanor in our nation’s
capitol, it is now.

Cindy Collier, director of the Pregnancy Care Center, spoke to
the Perry Exchange Club at their regular meeting this week.
Pregnancy Care Center
celebrates Ist birthday
BY BRENDA THOMPSON
Staff Writer
The Pregnancy Care Center of
Perry is celebrating its first birth
day.
And, just like the fetuses and
newborns it strives to help, this
first year since its inception has
brought much growth and a firm
foundation on which to base a bet
ter future.
As the guest speaker at Thurs
day’s meeting of the Perry Ex
change Club, Pregnancy Care Cen
ter Executive Director Cindy Col
lier briefed club members on what
her organization is all about.
She explained that the center,
which first opened its doors in
March 1993, is a non-profit, non
political, pro-life Christian organi
zation developed specifically to help
women who confront a crisis preg
nancy through education, support
and practical help.
It is governed by a local volun
teer board of directors representing
various churches in the community
and is staffed by Collier, the
group’s only paid staff member, and
a number of trained volunteers.
“We truly believe whether you’re
95 and in a wheel chair or an un
born child, you have worth,” Col
lier told local Exchangites. “We are
here to help; to discuss the options
with mothers facing a crisis preg
nancy and to offer them support and
help.”
Since opening its doors for
business last year, Collier added
that her facility has served some
150 clients, with 10 babies bom
and another 30 due at present.
Clients have come from not
only Perry and Houston County,
but also from Peach and Pulaski
counties. They’ve even had a client
from as far away as Mississippi and
have had calls from mothers-to-be
