In Your Interest
Participate in Voting
It's voting time again. Have a
say. Be ready to cast your ballot.
Saturday's city council and
school board elections in
Cherokee County may not have
any national or international
significance, but they are highly
important to the "home folks."
They will have a great impact on
the operations of our cities and
school districts this year, next
year and the years ahead.
The local elections seldom
generate the interest and
enthusiasm th^ey deserve and
should - get. Usually, the
candidates who offer their
services are few, and in a lot of
instances there is no opposition.
Frankly, these no-pay, long-hours
and thankless jobs are not
attractive. Not too many persons
are willing to step into these
situations and give the dedicated
efforts which are so necessary.
But that is no reason for the
voter to shirk his duty-that of
casting his or her ballot.
We not only have the
opportunity—but it is an
American privilege—of helping to
decide who will guide our cities
arid school systems. The least we
can do is take the time to vote.
Council persons and trustees
give many hours of valuable time
to meetings and pondering
decisions which affect all of us. At
best, their efforts add up to a
thankless job. We seldom think of
their dedicated service as long as
nothing they do displeases us.
When they do, we are aware they
are acting for all the people,
regardless of how few put them
into office.
Inflation is just one of the
critical problems facing cities and
schools. There are various
regulations, both state and
national, which must be met.
There are policies to be set and
carried out and day-to-day routine
matters. We need knowledgeable
persons to act for us. And they
need our backing.
Support the candidate or
candidates of your choice, but be
sure your vote is among those to
be counted Saturday night.
Lions Den By E.B. Musick Jr.
A boy shouldn't ask for a girl's
hand unless he is in a position to
remove is from her father's
pocket.
Lion Ike Daniel came to the
Lions Club last Thursday wearing
overaltaand Lion President David
Long give him the book and page
of the constitution and by-laws
whereby it says you can't do it.
Lion Ike immediately started to
remove same.
Our guests were Mr. Bill Rhodes,
Mr. Ron Collins, Greg Majors and
B.D. Garner. It seems that Mr.
Ron Collins was an all state basket-
ball player at Garrison and some
seem to think that we need him for
the big game with the Kiwanis
Club.
Lion President David says that
we will have a bean and steak
supper at the Rusk High School
Cafeteria the night of April 10. The
winning team on securing new
Lions will eat steak and the loosing
team will eat beans. There will be
no noon meeting that day. This will
be at 7 p.m. and all new members
will be inducted.
Lion Allen Gilchrest thanked all
of the Lions for the work that they
did in the Junior Livestock Show -
so many gave. Then a special
thanks to Lions Bob Clark and Mr.
Greg Majors. There were 41 buyers
from Rusk at the auction; three out
of four of the beautiful girls in the
finals were from Rusk with a Rusk
lady winning the Queens Contest.
Lion Paul Cox received something
from Lion Allen that would no do to
print.
Lion Bob Clark announced Bow-
ling for the March of Dimes April
19 which is a Saturday afternoon.
Lion Bill Draper presented Mr.
Larry Hampton an Instructor at
the Rusk State Hospital as our
program. This program concerns
the great need to be able to protect
yourself without causing injury to
the other person involved. As
would be the case at the Rusk State
Hospital to protect patient from
patient or from employees, without
any harm to the person whatso-
ever. This is a pilot project and will
help the image of the Hospital as
. well as for the safety of the patient.
Mr. Hampton told of the way
stress affects all of us. building up
until we just blow up sometimes.
There are those who care that
could help a lot by just talking with
one when they are in this condition.
In many cases you have to know
what to do to keep some from
hurting themselves or someone
else. When there is action then you
have to know how to react. Our
guest gave some demonstrations
with our Lion President David.
Lions Ike. Elliott, Clark and clos-
ing with tough Lion George Dodd.
A way was shown how to get away
from a bite.
The courses being given at the
Rusk State Hospital are for 30
hours and every thing is for the
benefit of the people involved so
that they will never get hurt. A
very fine program.
A West Germany insurance
company made a study and
learned that husbands who kiss
their wives before leaving for work
in the mornings live five years
longer than the average male.
They also have 20 to 25 per cent
higher incomes, lose only half as
much time through illness, and
have fewer accidents. This sounds
like something the good old U.S.A.
would have spent millions of dol-
lars on experiments. With the box

Derek. Hollywood is now making
"2" wiih Dolly Parton.

My great-great-grandfather,

Sallie A. GRAHAM ca. 1857, the
daughter of Hugh and Catherine

A divorce was granted in 1922
for Mrs. Thruman S. Daniel (Miss
Pearl MORGAN had become the
wife of Thurman Stubbs DANIEL
in 1908). Pearl was granted cus-
tody of four children born of this
union. Where are these four child-
ren today? I have been trying to
get an answer to that question for
the past 25 years. February 195Ó I
learned that the 3 older children
were enrolled in school at Jones-
boro, Arkansas in 1922-23. I have
obtained a copy of the birth certifi-
cate for Thurman Sewart DANIEL
bornFebruary 15,1914, which lists
the place of residence of Thurman

There is little doubt that people
are coMerned about high costs in
health care. Dentists, too, are
concerned and want to keep the
costs of care down.
One of the primary considera-
tions is the economics of the
regular dental check-up. Emergen-
cies are usually more expensive,
and too often emergency repairs
are only a stop-gap toward solving
the real problem. Once the disease
process has taken a strong hold, it
often lasts longer and costs more to
treat. Consequently, there is little
that can replace the regular check-
up for «economy.
Following the dentist's sugges-
tions is important too. The dentist
may suggest a special program of
oral hygiene or diet. Far too many
patients ignore the advig$ that they
have solicited and paid for.
The most cosT-saving step of
them all, of course, is not to
become the victim of oral disease
In the first place, this is where
prevention comes in. Daily use of
dental floss, proper brushing
habits and sensible diet that avoids
overindulgence in sweets, particu-
larly between meals, can reduce
dental bills
(juite often ths dentist is asked,
"Which tooth paste is the but"? As
far as the cleansing action, one
brand is not significantly better
than another (it is the physical
action of the tooth brush that does
the cleaning-that is why the proper
method of brushing is very impor-
tant). However, a toothpaste that
contains fluoride does have an
advantage over one that does not,
in that fluoride has properties that
can reduce the amount of decay
that one may have and thus also
reduce the cost of dental care.
Extensive studies have also shown
that when a community's drinking
water is fluoridated, the tooth
decay in the community as a whole
is greatly reduced. Provision has
recently been made for the fluori-
dation of our water supply. There-
fore in a few years a reduction of
the number of dental cavities
should occur In the community,
which will in turn reduce the cost of
dental care.
"Resurrection" does not mean
that a corpse starts to live again,
nor does it mean that a person now
has "new life" because he has
"faith." The idea is richer, deeper,
and more complex than most
popular discussion assumes.
Paul struggles with the idea and
with some misinterpretations of it
in several of his letters, especially
in I Corinthians 14 & 15. To those
people who considered themselves
so "spiritual" that they thought
they already were living
"resurrected" lives, he says that
the promise is still to come. To
those who think of resurrection
merely as "more of the same"
(like "coming back to life" on the
operating table, after your heart
has stopped), Paul says that they
are mistaken. "Resurrection",
Paul says, concerns a "spiritual
body"-although he never explains
just what that means. In fact, Paul
is so overwhelmed by his own
experience of God's grace that he
fumbles and straggles throughout
those two chapters to find the right
way of re-expressing the promise
to the Corinthian church. I find
that straggle more significant than
his expressions, because it
suggests that even among the
apostles there was no clear-cut
conception of "resurrection" to
match the experience of grace
which began to happen to them on
that first Lord's Day.
It may be useful to recall that
there were at least two different
religious world-views available to
the first Christians-the Jewish and
the Greek. Both of these gave
images and concepts which were
transformed by the earliest
community into its own
distinctive preaching and witness.
For the Jew, the human problem
was that the kingdom of God would
be cloeed to those who broke the
covenant. Access to God, or to his
kingdom, could only come through
covenant-righteousness. The Day
when God's kingdom "breaks in"
to human history will mark the end
of human history as we know it,
and on that day God will cause the
dead to live again in an act of re-
creation. When "resurrection"
occurs, the End has come!
In the Greek view of the world,
the human problem was not a
matter of "sin" vs.
"righteousness", or access to God
through a "covenant." The Greek
view, generally speaking,
understood the problem of human
life as the "limitation" in which we
live-that is, we are not infinite in
power or wisdom, and our lives
end in death. How can we gain
access to God, to the fundamental
reality of life? In the Greek view
there was an essence of our
humanity which does not perish at
death. What is needed for
"salvation" is to have God lead
this "spirit" back to himself at
death.
When Paul takes the Jewis idea
of "resurrection" and tries to
express it to a Greek-Christian
community in Corinth, he
struggles to merge very different
notions of the human predicament
and very different notions of God's
grace. Both "resurrection" and
"immortality" are images which
attempt to express the mystery of
the unquenchable hope given to
Christians, a hope which finds its
historical focus in Jesus of
Nazareth and its spiritual focus in
God's grace alone. When
Christians say that "Jesus is the
Messiah" or "Jesus is Lord", they
recall their Jewish and Greek
roots, and they point to the God
who has already., begun the Last
Day and is "bringing home" his
children. "The Lord is risen!"
means much more than a merely
flat, literalistic, historicistic state-
ment about the body of Jesus of
Nazareth; it is the shout óf those
whose hope in the one God cannot
be quenched, whatever happens in
this world. It is the Easter way of
proclaiming that "nothing in
heaven or earth can separate us
from the love of God in Christ
Jesus our Lord."
