Kelly, Route 1, Prosperity, was promoted to Army specialist five last month, while assigned to the U. S. Army Data Sup port Command at the Penta gon in Washington, D. C-» as an administrative specialist. His wife .Martha, lives in Alexandria, Va. a new groundwood pulp mill with five grinders, each power ed by a 10,000 horsepower el ectric motor, the largest ever built for a groundwood mill. Additions were also made to the mill’s power house and He grew up down in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. When he was 12 years old he was thin and frail and had no co ordination. He was slow and weak. He said that when sides were chosen for any game, he was the last one picked. As a freshman in high school he went out for football and made third string tackle. He managed to get in a game once. The other team ran over him enroute to a 65 yard touch down. That ended his football career. He tried baseball and managed to get to play second base in one game. The batter hit a ball and it went right through his legs. That ended his base ball career. Then he turned to basket ball. This young man knew that if he was ever to excel in any sport it had to be basketball. His sophomore year he went out for basketball. He tried. He tried hard. He gave it everything, all he had. Then came the day when the coach posted the names of those who had made the squad on the bulletin board. His world fell from beneath him when his name wasn’t on that list. He was a failure. He said that for a while he just mop ed around the house. After a short time he started going to church. He took interest in his church. He san*. in the choir, served as an altar boy and took the collection at Sunday ser vices. His minister, knowing some thing of his disappointment, took some interest in him. He said his pastor was very understanding. His minister told him about the Galilean, and how He would help him when he was discour aged and would help him if he stumbl ed. Those words didn’t mean much to that 14 year old, but he said that years later he used the same words to help boys overcome disappointment. Then the minister had an idea. Why not start a church team! The youngs ter jumped at that idea. They found enough boys who had not made the high school .squad to form a three team church league. For the first time this young man was a member of a team, and, as he said, “important.” He started practicing. He took a wire coat hanger and put it over the garage door at home and shot tennis balls at it. His father, seeing his de termination, bought him a regulatior basketball and backboard. He develop ed a method of practicing that lasted for years. From 3:30 till 5:30 he w^ould practice. Then he would eat and do his homework. At 7:30 he was shooting baskets again with the help of several lamps in the window\sill facing his back yard. He was on his way! Isn’t that the work of the church? Taking defeated and disappointed lives and making them important, I mean. Isn’t that the reason He came into our world, to give us another chance when we fail? The boy thought his world was ended, but through the Galilean he found his place. The Galilean helps us do exactly that. The boy’s name was Bob Pettit. If you don’t know who he is, ask any basketball fan. —FIVE STAR FEATURES woodyard. Also included was an expan sion of the mill’s waste water treatment facilities.
