CITIZENS
By Reporter
The Senior Citizens had vi
sitors from Charlotte, Mrs.
Mary Duncan, from Salisbury,
Mrs. A. McDaniel and
from Follansbee, West Virginia
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Poole.
Seventy-three members came
on the hot morning and en
joyed a program of fun. High
lights of the recent trip to
Roaring Gap were told by
various members. Those who
went, seemed to enjoy it as
much as those who did not
go. Pranks and wisecracks
were the order of the day
and it seemed a hilarious
good time was had by all.
Following was a skit by two
of our talented tattlers Mrs.
Graoe Ridenhour and Mrs.
Annie Miller. Quite a bit of
choice gjossip was heard.
Only pne of our members
was hospitalized until recent
ly. Now, Mr. Frank Penninger
has undergone surgery and
Mrs. Sidney Benson is tak
ing treatment. Arrangements
of flowers adorned our club
room. They were brought by
Mrs. Guy Foster, Mrs. Ida
Massey, Mrs. H. F. Barnes,
Mrs. Ida Foster and Mrs. Carl
Tatum.
One of our number, Mr.
Frank Miller, brought our de
votional. His Scripture was
Matthew 25th chapter, Ist
through 12th verses and his
subject was "The Light in The
Soul."
Happy Birthday was sung
to 14 members born in June
and the fun theme was carried
out in cutting one of the dec
orated birthday cakes. Start
ing with the oldest member,
our comedian, Mr. Sam Myers,
he was given a knife and
told to cut his piece of cake.
When he failed, (the cake was
made of wood), the next old
est, Chaplain J. F. Jar vis, had
a try and from there all the
curious took turns.
As is our custom, after the
serving of refreshments, our
songsters gathered around the'
piano for a hymn singing. We
understand some clubs hasten
home, some play checkers, or
Bingo, but we sing.

Key. John Grafton CockreU
The Reverend John Grafton
Cockrell, Vicar of Good Shep
herd and Ascension Episcopal
Churches in Davie County,
was ordained a Priest in the
Church this past Wednesday
in an impressive ceremony in
Saint John's Church in Char
lotte.
Four men were Ordained
as Deacons at the same Serv
ice. These were: S. F. James
Abbott of Thomasville, Philip
R. Byrum of Tarboro, Harold
W. Payne of Walnut Cove,
and Clay Howard Turner of
Rocky Mount.
Along with The Reverend
Mr. Cockrell, four others were
Ordained Priests. These were:
The Reverend Harvey Gerald
Cook, Assistant to the Rector
at Saint Luke's Church in Sal
isbury; The Reverend Thomas
Joseph Garner, Vicar of Saint
Paul's and Saint Philip's
Churches in Salisbury; The
Reverend James Thomas Pre
vatt, Assistant at The Church
of the Atonement in Tenafly,
New Jersey; The Revernd Ca
rey Erastus Sloan, HI, Vicar
of Saint Matthews Church in
Rowan County.
Following the custom of the
Christian Church from the
times of the Apostles chosen
by Jesus Christ to be His
Disciples, The Episcopal
Church has three different
kinds of ministers: Bishops,
Priests, and Deacons. The
function, or job, of any mini
ster is, of course, to tell all
who will hear (that Jesus
Christ is Lord, to the glory
of God, the Father.
Still, each kind of minister
in the Church has a special
job, in addition. to the one
that all have. These are as
follows: Bishops are the
Chief Pastors in the Church,
which means that they serve
as Pastors to the Ordained
ministers and care for the
spiritual needs of the clergy
as well as care for seeing
that the things which Christ
commanded to be done are,
in fact, carried out Priests
minister to people where the
Bishop sends them, in much
the same maimer as the Dis
ciples ministered to people
when they were sent by Jesus.

Medicare To
Begin July 1
Medicare, the new prog
ram of health insurance for
the aged, begins on July 1,
19ti?, for all people over 65
who have signed up for it
Many people are asking
what they should do about
their private health insurance
plans. While this decision is
a private one, R. H. Chapman,
district manager of the so
cial security office in Wins
ton-Salem, cautions: do not
cancel any other health in
surance you have until your
Medicare coverage actually be
gins.
This warning also holds
true for people who become
65 in the future. If they ap
ply for Medicare in the three
month period before their 65th
birthday, their coverage will
not begin until the month
they are 65.
Chapman said that it is im
portant that people approach
ing 65 to do three things:
1. Obtain good evidence of
your age well before your
65th birthday, so you will
know when your benefits un
der Medicare can begin.
2. Visit your local social se
curity office as early as pos
sible in the three-month peri
od before your 65th birthday.
3. After you have establish
ed your age with social se
curity, get in touch with the
agent or company that pro
vides your health insurance.
Local social security offices
have pamphlets that describe
the Medicare program. You
may get one upon request.

By Mrs. Frank Seders
Wednesday morning, June
22, 55 members of the Cool
eemes Senior Citizens Club
boarded two chartered buses
at the recreation center for
Roaring Gap. The first 10
miles ware uneventful, but as
they reached Joppa Cemetery,
the first driver sighted two
hitch-hikers waving frantical
ly for him to stop. Both bum
came to an abrupt halt and
the confusion began as two
women with cardboard suit
cases and attired in long
dresses and sun bonnets de
manded free passage to the
mountains. The charter pas
sengers just didn't cotton to
this type of intrusion and were
ready to let both bus drivers
have a good piece of their
mind for having stopped in
the first place. Something
had to be done about this—
and it was. Seems the high
sheriff had been tipped off
about two such fugitives and
lost no time in accosting them.
The sheriff applied his strong
est handcuffs and was pro
ceeding to take them in when
Granville Spry and Welt
Shoaf thought they detected
familiar protesting voices.
They demanded a closer look
at the fugitives and found
them to be none other than
Mrs. Fred Murphy and Mrs.
M. H. Ridenhour, two of their
own club members who want
ed to go on the mountain
trip. When the sheriff observed
the club's deep devotion for
these "poor old ladies", he
was deeply touched and soon
All were on their merry way. I
Arriving at Roaring Gap near |
the noon hour, signs on every
hand read "no picnicing". Fin
ally, following the directions
of a kind old lady to e smalt
Methodist Church, lunch was
spread on the grounds. Miss
Vic Byerly quoted some
scripture verses bringing to
mind the Mercies of the Lord
and returned thanks. During
the lunch hour, attention was
called to the register of the
small church. Attendance the
previous Sunday was 26, of
fering $3.02. Mr. M. H. Rid
enhour, club president suggest- !
ed that a free will offering
be taken and left for the
church at the side of the road
—in appreciation for use of
the nice lawn. The offering
of SIO.OO was placed in an
envelope and left at a nearby
store for the church treasur
er. The Senior Citizens on
a picnic, had in effect, parti
cipated in state missions.
After an hour at the hatch
ery, observing the fish and
enjoying the cool mountain
breezes, they stopped at one
of the most scenic overlook!. ,
Mr. Grady Spry led them hi 1
singing "How Great Thou Art*
as they viewed a small seg
ment of God's wondrous
handiwork.
Enroute home, the group
decided that another trip such
as this should be taken la
the fall.
Senior Citizens! Yes, but
what a young and happy j
group.
