At Galilee
Mrs. Mattie Halsey Named
“Mother Of The Year”
By Loretta Man ago
Post Staff Writer
Mrs. Mattie Halsey takes
a winning attitude at every
endeavor she undertakes.
It is that positive attitude
that helped Mrs. Halsey
capture the title, “Mother
of the Year” recently at
Galilee Baptist Church.
At the onset of the contest
Mrs. Halsey had one goal in
mind and that was to
become the victor. “I
started out to win and when
I found out that I’d come in
first place I felt good.”
Mrs. Halsey enjoys the
work she does for her
church. At Galilee, she
serves on the Usher Board,
the Vocal choir and the
Hymn choir.
She is the wife of Elbert
Halsey and the mother of
three daughters and four
sons.
The “Mother of the
Year” contest was spon
sored by the Youth of the
i---_L
Joy of Harmony Choir at
Galilee where Rev. Fred
Griffith is pastor.
For her efforts, Mrs.
Halsey received a trophy, a
cascade of carnations and
a certificate of apprecia
tion.
The other candidates
included: Mary Blakney
who won second place;
Brenda Hailey, the third
place winner; Ida Davis,
who finished in fourth place
and Ruth Cowan, who was
fifth place.

It’s because mothers come
before fathers. Mothers are
special. They always give
you what you need.”
Zora Smith, retired:
'‘Father’s Day is find.
Fathers should be recog
nized as well as mothers.”
Ola Mae Alexander,
senior citizen: “I feel both
are the same, but you may
as well admit it, mothers
are closer to you. That’s
because fathers are always
out working, tyid mothers
are with you more.”
Johnny Foster, Sheriff’s
Dept.: “Father’s Day is
almost a passing thing. It
must go back to the
umbilical cord. We need
the ERA for men in this
case. Father’s don’t get a
fair shake."
A1 Feaster, crew chief,
Sanitation Dept.: "They do
pay more attention to
Mother’s Day. I haven’t
figured -tt-out-yet~It!s not
really fair, but they do pay
more attention to it. On
Mother’s Day you spend
your last penny on Mom.
On Father’s Day, maybe
you get him a pack of
cigarettes. I’m the same
way.”
