ROUNDpM
Sign Language
Those who took the Clinton Mills Management
Trip to the USC-Tennessee game in Knoxville,
Tenn., last weekend are still chuckling over a
couple of signs they saw on the road.
Tennessee's football team is known as “The
Big Orange” and there are signs all over the state
prodaming ”11118 Is Big Orange Country.” A bus
carrying Gamecock supporters passed the Clinton
Mills bus and it had a sign saying, “Go Game
cocks! The Big Orange is a fruit”
And there was a newly-weds’ car which had
been painted wiith the usual mischievous remarks,
including one which said, “From Here To Matern
ity” '

PC Students Want To Help
They'll Give Greenry For Clothes
t Simmon
How did
s on
you
i
The Westminster Fellowship of
Presbyterian College is conduct
ing a campaign to aid a Kentucky
family of eight which offered to
exchange mountain greenry for
clothing.
The Presbyterian student or
ganization at PC plans to help a
family which lives in Walker, Ky.,
and also provide an assist to the
Lend-A-Hand Center near Walk
er.
Mrs. Eli Carnes of Walker
wrote to PC after reading about
the college in a church maga
zine. She wrote that she and her
husband have six children who
attend school. Her husband is ill
and unable to work and the child
ren need clothing. She ottered to
exchange holly, spruce and other
greenry for used clothing for the
children.
Carson Rhyne, president of the
PC Westminster Fellowship, and
two other PC students went to
Walker last weekend to investi
gate the situation.
Rhyne said they discovered the
family is in dire need and West
minster now plans to conduct
local campaign for clothing for
the Carnes family. The children
include a seven-year-old girl;
nine-year-old boy; 11-year-old
girl; 13-year-old girl; 16-year-
old boy; and 17-year-oJ4 girl.
Rhyne said clothing also is need
ed for the mother and father.
While In Walker, Ky., (which is*
located in the southeastern part
of that state, near Corbin, Ky.)
tha PC students also became ac
quainted with the Lend-A-Hand
Center. This center was estab
lished 12 years ago to assist
families in the poverty-stricken
area.
It is a private center, founded
by a school teacher and a nurse,
who also serves as a midwife in
that area. It is not subsidized
by any government agency but has
been assisted through private do
nations and the work of the peo
ple in the area. It includes a
house, chapel and farm where
people in that area are helped
to learn about farming and to
care for themselves. It also hous
es children who have been de
serted by their parents.
Concerning that area of Ken
tucky, Rhyne said, “I have read
about poverty-stricken areas but
I was totally unprepared for the
desolation we found there. The
Lend-A-Hand Center is one of
tew bright spots for those peo
ple.”
Rhyne said the Westminster
Fellowship hopes to collect books
for pre-school, first, second and
third grade children and small
gifts for children nine to 13
years of age. These will be turn
ed over to the center, along with
any clothing not used by the
Carnes family.
After the collections are made,
a caravan of PC students will
take the clothing, books and gifts
to Walker on Nov. 21. The stu
dents will spend that weekend in
Walker, assisting at the Lend-A-
Center. Rhyne said that any
one interested In donating
clothing, books or small gifts for
the people of that area should
contact him or any member of
the Westminster fellowship at
PC.
Ut<
come to Clinton again but I would
be the <>ne who planned your city.
“You are the people who live
here and who are going to be here
in the future. It’s your town, not
mine. Therefore, I need to know
your thoughts on the needs of the
city. Also, I need to know what
type of town you want Clinton to be
in the future. If I am to assist
you in the planning, I have to know
where you are and where you want
to go. ”
The commissinn members told
the planner their thoughts on
Clinton’s needs and future.
To give a more complete pic
ture, the commission members
want the citizens of Clinton to of
fer their thoughts about their
town. What are Clinton’s most
pressing needs? What type of town
should Clinton be in the future 0
In an effort to stimulate citi
zens’ consideration of these
questions and to offer suggestions
on those two topics, the commis
sion is sponsoring a “Clinton,
Today and Tomorrow” contest.
The person who writes the best
letter will receive a $100 prize.
Think about it and then take
the time to write down your
thoughts about what Clinton is to
day and what it should be tomor
row.
Letters must be postmarked no
later than Nov. 30. Any resident
of the Clinton trading area is eli
gible, except members of the
Planning Commission.

ton, Today and Tomorrow”, The

Snowed Under
... By Leaves
Clinton Streets Dept. Supt. Ed
die McGee says his department
is snowed under---by leaves.
McGee said that the crew
men try to collect leaves in each
area at least once a week but
added, “We’re snowed under right
now. Some people don’t seem to
realize that when the leaves fall
on their side of town, they also
fall on the other side of town. *
McGee said that it would as
sist his department if people
would park their cars off the
streets since machines are used
to collect the leaves which are
piled along the curb.
Unity Is
Encouraged
By Rotary
The Clinton Rotary ClobU
sponsoring a "United We Stand*
campaign designed to show Pre
sident Nixon that he has this
area’s support in trying to arrive
at a just and lasting peace in
Vietnam.
William M. Shields, presi
dent of the club said, “The Ro
tary Club of Clinton feels that
the ‘silent majority’ should let
the president know that we are
behind him in his commitmentlo
bring about a just and lasting
peace. We are all of us for peace
and for settlement of the Viet
nam conflict but we do not want
to bring comfort and encourage
ment to the enemy, as the so-
called ‘peace marchers' are
doing this week in Washington.
Coupons which tell President
Nixon “You have my support in
your efforts to bring a just and
lasting peace” have been placed
in local high schools, at Presby
terian College and in local
churches and businesses. Mem-
bers of the Rotary Club will col
lect the signed coupons and mail
them to President Nixon, a-
long with a letter of sigjport from
the people of Clinton.

ian, Radio Station WPCC or the
