CF Breath Of
Life Drive
Is Underway
Volunteer marchers start
ed their canvass of the
county last week and will
continue through September
30th to assist the Cystic
Fibrosis Foundation Breath
of Life Campaign program.
The campaign seeks to
raise vital funds for research
to find a cure for cystic
fibrosis, and for cure and
education programs benefit
ing children suffering from
CF and other lung-damaging
diseases, according to Lether
McCord, Butts County chair
man.
Lung diseases are second
only to cancer in claiming
lives of children, Mrs.
McCord said. Cystic Fibro
sis, which occurs once in 1600
live births in the United
States, is the most serious of
all children’s lung diseases,
she stated.
Almost half of the money
raised in the local campaign
will remain in the state to
benefit children with CF and
other lung diseases such as
asthma, chronic bronchitis,
and bronchiectasis, the
chairman said. The remain
ing funds collected in
Georgia will be distributed
through the National CF
Foundation, located in At
lanta, to help support
research for control or cure
of CF, a leading genetic killer
of children.
Lung-damaged children in
Butts County are receiving
care at CF Centers in Atlanta
and Augusta.
When the CF Foundation
was established in 1955, few
children with CF survived
past school age. Today 50
percent of all CF affected
children can be expected to
live past age 18, Mrs. McCord
concluded.
When a Breath of Life
Volunteer calls on you,
please be generous. Hun
dreds of children need your
help so much.
Butts Teacher
Of Year To Be
Named Soon
The search for the Butts
County school system’s
Teacher of the Year has
begun, says Supt. J. M. L.
Comer, with- nominations
being received and a selec
tion committee formed.
Superintendent Comer re
ports that the selection
committee, headed by Mrs.
Brenda Johnson, will choose,
within the next few weeks, a
teacher to represent the
Butts County school system
in the Georgia Teacher of the
Year awards program. The
winner of that title will
represent Georgia in the
National Teacher of the Year
awards program, sponsored
by the Encyclopedia Britan
nica Companies, The Ladies’
Home Journal, and the
Council of Chief State School
Officers.
The Southern Educator’s
Life Insurance Company,
which co-sponsors the Geor
gia awards program with the
Georgia Department of Edu
cation, will present a $750
cash award to the Georgia
Teacher of the Year and $250
to the runner-up. In addition,
the winners will be honored
at a dinner, an overnight stay
in Atlanta and will be
recognized at the November
meeting of the State Board of
Education.
Teachers will be judged on
the basis of instructional
effectiveness and originality,
special classroom projects
and over all philosophy of
education, among other
qualifications.
“The Georgia Teacher of
the Year Program gives us
an excellent opportunity to
recognize teachers through
out the state who are making
outstanding contributions to
the teaching profession,”
says Georgia School Superin
tendent Charles McDaniel.
