Second St. Jackson, Ga. Phone 775-7798 Mac and I will be married 12 years in September. We have four children and an excellent family relationship. Mac has been in business for 14 years and I have been his secretary and bookkeeper for the past 9 years. Farming and operating a business is a task for anyone. But beginning at the age of 17 is certainly a challenge. I have seen him budget a business when the finances were low and work day and night to make it prosper. He has worked physically and mentally and made important decisions under pressure, but never neglected to consider all parties involved. I know he will uphold these principles and work just as hard for you as your County Commissioner. Mac and I were both raised in Butts County. It is a great place to live and we are proud of the county and its people. If it is God's will, we want our children to grow up here and make it their home. Mac realizes the county has got to be in a position to enhance industry which in turn would offer good paying jobs that will entice young people to stay. The Commissioner's decisions, whether it pertains to road maintenance, taxes, job hiring, grants to organizations, purchasing equipment, hospital, Welfare and Health Department, affects all of us. I know Mac will work hard with your best interest in mind.

It has been estimated that increased population in the Atlanta area by 1990 will call for the establishment of 50 new Presbyterian churches.

Another campaign emphasis is being placed on the support of inner city churches, as changing population trends increase their needs.

A CORRECTION In the heading of the Cook-Bittinger engagement announcement last week, the word “Bittinger” was mis printed. The newspaper regre is this error; no we ver, the name was spelled correctly in the news item. Pre-School Immunizations Are Required Don’t let all the furor over the swine flu vaccine make you forget to get regular immunizations for your pre schooler, says Dr. John F. McCroan, Director of Epi demiology in the Georgia Department of Human Re sources. Georgia law requires that children entering kindergar ten or first grade have an immunization certificate from a physician or from the county health department. If, for some reason, circum stances prevent parents from having their child immunized before school starts, a 120-day grace period is allowed to begin the vaccina tions. Required immunizations are: polio, measles, dip theria, tetanus, whooping cough, and reubella. “Immunization guards against contagious diseases and prevents epidemics in schools and communities. We recommend that parents start their child’s immuniza tions at two months of age,” says McCroan. A private physician or the county public health depart ment doctor or nurse can administer each vaccine when the child is the right age. “There are many young sters between the ages of six months and six years who are not protected from contagious diseases because they have not been im munized,” says McCroan. “The reason may be that the reduced number of cases of these diseases in recent years has deceived parents into believing that they are no longer dangerous. The fact is that no child is safe from a disease unless he is immunized.” BYARS LTD. the rule forßackto SchoolTl LEISURE SUITS Reg. $55.00 to $85.00 1/2 price 1 TABLE KNIT PANTS Reg.
