Looking Back

Fifty years ago today, May 28, 1966

Sitters Sought

A group at Wynnton Methodist Church is looking for women who might train as qualified baby sitters for handicapped children. Mrs. T. W. Garrett, of Wynnton’s Woman’s Society of Christian Service, said that due to a lack of qualified baby sitters, parents of exceptional or otherwise handicapped youngsters seldom were able to go out together.

Religion

A resolution taking a first step toward dropping racial bars in Georgia Methodism will come to a vote June 6-8 when the South Georgia Annual Conference meets at St. Simons Island.

School Blaze

School officials have not yet decided what course of action to take to rebuild that portion of Valley High School which was gutted by fire early Friday morning. The fire, which was apparently started by a bolt of lightning, destroyed six classrooms, the library and the home economics wing.
