Grenfell said. “Real joy comes, not from ease or riches or from the praise of men, but from dotng something worth- - while." These words are used in an effort to describe the character of a quiet, most humble woman. Emma Jackson is 98 years old and holds mem bership in the Matthews Murkland United Presby terian Church. She does not seek leadership or status positions in the church or community, and yet she has exemplified strong situ cere leadership as far as the mission of the church. Although she is not, and has never been a ruling elder of the church, she has always been the first in participation with money and always the first to say, “I will try...l will do my part ” Mrs. Jackson is on a fixed income, but was the first to come forward with a $50 check to pay off a $75,000 mortgage loan. She has not missed Presbyte rials or Synodicals in over 40 years. She has never been sick enough to be ad mitted to the hospital. Last week after return ing from the beach with her children and grandchild ren, she said of the water, “It felt real good...I feel gfeat!" When crop walk was ex plained to her, she' said, —"(lh vps I II walk for Miss Cartledge Is Bride Of Alexander Moore Paulisa Cartledge and Alexander Freeland Moore were married recently at Saint Paul Baptist Church in a double ring ceremony officiated by Dr. Paul W.

' After 30 minutes of pre nuptial music from soloist Mattie Watt and organist soloist Donald Chisolm, the wedding couple performed duets “With You I’m Born Again” and "Endless Love,” at the altar.

Emma Jackson ...Walked 5 miles hunger.” When asked 'why/ she said. ”1 know w hat it is to be hungry and jf walking will help feed some of those little child ren. I'm willing to try. If you have resting places. 1 believe 1 can walk 5 miles.” When asked what she at tributes her long life to she said, "The goodness of God.” Mrs. Jackson is regarded at Matthews-Murkland as a pillow of thei)hurch. All the members love, respect and adore Mrs. Jackson. One of the high spots during the worship sel-vice at Matthews-Murkland comes when Mrs. Jackson sings her song or shouts to the Glory of God. The sin cerity and reverence she conveys makes everybody feel good She sends a ray of joy throughout the church. Mrs. Jackson is a woman of few words but she is a leader by precepts and example. She loves child ren and young people. She plays with them and goes on picnics, hikes and tours with them. She is involved in what ever goes on within the life of the church. Even.in her silence Mrs. Jackson's faith speaksou[~ loudly and gives courage to the membership in its en tirety. Mrs. Jackson has been honored as the "Mother of the Year" by the congre gation. Mothers who have received this honor down through the years have looked upon Mrs. Jackson as the "Mother of All - _ Mothers" in the church. Although the years are many, MrsT~~ Jackson is young at heart. She is jo vial, she is lively, but most of all she is a true ex ample of a loving Myths About Consumption__ Alcohol: How Much Is Safe? l»> Susan hllsMorth Post Staff Writer The Governor's Highway Safety Program is not against drinking; just drinkers who drive in an impaired or drunken con dition and become a ha zard to other motorists. Not everyone who takes a drink becomes impaired, but many do not take adequate precautions, ac cording to government studies. Myths about alcohol con sumption are sometimes accepted as fact. Let's dis nell some of those incorrect beliefs. Alcohol is not a stimulant; it is a depres sant that, relaxes the body and retards mental process and physical abilities. Body weight, amount of food eaten, and the length of time taken to drink the alcohol will alter the ef fects. Did you know you can get as drunk on beer as you can on liquor? Alcohol going to the brain first releases the inhibi tions and causes the drink er to do and say things he normally wouldn’t. Judge ment .worsens. Coordina tion between eye, foot and hand is impaired. Drivers don’t see danger as quick ly ; and they can’t get their foot off the accelerator and • onto the brake, as fast as could a sober person. Vision, speech and ba lance go. As much as 83 to 90 percent of the in formation we receive about Jtraffic^comes_throughvL Second in a series sion. Alcohol reduces ability to see objects sharp ly- judge distances and dis tinguish colors, confirm studies compiled by Pen nington Associates, Inc. for the Department of Trans portation. Police and judges are all too familiar with the ex planation, “But I only had two beers." Consider how various al coholic drinks affect the blood alcohol content (BAC) of a person weieh ing 150 pounds. -A 12 ounce serving of 4 percent beer will cause a BAC of .02 percent. --A 3 ounce serving of 12 percent vyine will cause a BAC of .02 percent. -A 1 ounce serving of hard liquor, 45 percent al cohol, will cause a BAC of .02 percent. - Highballs and other mixed drinks give a BAC of .03 percent and .04 per cent. The American Medical Association states flatly that 2 drinks in an hour are too much for anyone who intends to drive soon after drinking. Popular re medies are useless, says the Alcohol Information Center in Durham. “It takes about one hour for the body to oxidize one third to an ounce of alco hol,” reported the center, “and such actions are black coffee, cold showers, fresh air and exercise have absolutely no effect on blood alcohol content ." There are some precau tions to follow for those who plan to drive after drink ing. Eat before drinking and while driving. Food ab sorbs alcohol and slows down its rate of assimila tion into the body Drink slowly to allow your body time to handle each drink. Set a limit before starting, then stick to it, no matter how much you're offered (switch to a soft drink alternative!: Stop drinking at least one hour before driving. Not all problem drinkers are alcoholics. A person who drinks beyond his limit and still gets behind the wheel, however, has a problem. The driver to fear most, say the experts, is the one who appears "cold sober" after a drinking session. Despite an out ward appearance of so briety, this person still has a slowed reaction time and impaired judgement as the drinker who is noticeably drunk-__ Alcohol consumption has become an increasingly popular recreation for youths. Next week we will look at Youth Drinking - a rapidly growing problem.

Mrs. Jackson is a good Christian; The song en titled, “Surely I Will" can if1 1 — be paraphrased to tit Mrs Jackson’s character. "If anyone makes it, surely she will.” it way.. By Joe Black “The ultimate measure of a man is hot where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where-he stands at- . time of challenge and controversy. The true neighbor will risk his position, his prestige, and even his life for the welfare of others." Dr. Martin Luther King. Jr. made that - statement many years ago. but 1 dare venture the opinion that it is apropos in 1981 because this is truly a time of controversy and challenge. The national administration is advocating actions that many interpret as being negative toward the Black, the poor, and the elderly. Yes. as I travel about these United States I have heard the Black, the poor, the elderly muttering“woe is me" because President Reagan*s projected budget cuts have had a negative effect upon their lifestyle. But when Blacks look about for help and/or guidance, it seems as though Black leaders labeling the President insensitive add racist is the only encouragement or empathy that they receive. It is my belief that rhetoric like that is an excellent tool to manifest emotionalism in -their followers, hut it dnre very Httlp for those who harbor a real fear of experiencing days or nights without food. We have arrived at the time when our leaders must change their rhetoric.The Black, the poor, the elderly already know why they have the feelings of anxiety about their futures. So our leaders are challenged to provide hope and encouragement for those who can only envision a future of suffering and pain. One suggestion to our leaders is that they should remind Black Americans that we can survive and overcome if we will take the time to remember tha^the Lord helps Ihose who help themselves. In other words, make them understand that we can survive — without the government taking care of us. * » t' SfeeT^hck Vice President The Greyhound Corporation
