The Taylor County news and the Butler herald. (Butler, Ga.) 1962-current, September 21, 1962, Image 1
Taylor Co. Students Off To College
Rumors still fly fast and
furious around our county at
times, sometimes unfounded,
sometimes with a reason be
hind them. We urge once again,
let the people know what you
say.
Don’t criticize until you have
given those responsible an op
portunity to defend themselves.
A one sided fight is never
fair, especially when one side
doesn’t even know what is going
on. Write a letter to the
editor, sign you name and we
will print it. Then perhaps
others will get the idea you are
trying to put forth.
If you have comments on
the paper, we are always happy
to get them. If it’s criticism,
we will print it too.
You don't have to be awriter.
You don’t have to have a great
deal of time. Merely put your
thoughts on paper and sign your
name. That is all that is neces
sary.
County School Superintendent
W. H. Elliston has written a
letter this week explaining some
of the statements in the letter
last week from Harold Brown.
I think every parent and any
interested citizen will be in
terested in reading the explana
tion of the alloting of teachers
to schools.
It takes letters such as this
to clear up any unfounded ru
mors that might be going a-
round.
The paper staff continues to
be vitally interested in the
school problems in our county.
After discussing the situation
with several citizens of both
towns, it seems that both
schools have the same needs,
more teachers, more money to
provide better facilities for
learning.
It is only through the co
operation of the people in both
areas that we can get these
things. We must work together
and present a united front if
we hope to obtain the best for
our children.
I am continuing to advocate
the study group made up of
citizens from both P. T. A.
groups - citizens who will
get together with open minds
and discuss a solution to the
problesm.
We do not need radicals in
this group. There seems to be
some stigma attached to the
word consolidation. Why are
we afraid to even talk about
it? Some authorities from the
State Board of Education seem
to think it is the solution.
Why are we sitting by and
saying if we only close our
eyes and not think about it, it
will go away. We are only
running away from reality.
Problems exist just as surely as
the 1000 students exist. What
are we as adults going to do?
They are our future. Will
we neglect them?

Schultze Talks
ToKiwanians
Maes schultze, t-iome Fin
ance Agency of Atlanta, spoke
on Community Improvement
Programs in this area. Through
these programs, the value of
property can be increased, ex
penses can be cut and the town
can be made more attractive so
that industry may be enticed into
the area.
With a 20 year improvement
plan, cities can know where they
are going. They can sponsor
clean up drives, building
material suppliers can make
it easy for the citizens to im
prove and the ministers can lead
the people toward improvement.
A letter of thanks was read
from Elmo Waller for the gift
presented him before leaving
last week.
Guests of the week included
Chuck Bishop, Paul Nunn, Har
old Helms, I. C. Eubanks, and
Key Clubbers Hugh O’Neal and
Reid Walton.
CORRECTION
An error in the write up of
the meeting of the Upatoi As
sociation at the Mt. NeboChurch
has been brought to our at
tention. Brother L. O. Bishop
was listed as assistant modera
tor. He is instead assistant
clerk of the association. We
are sorry.
Mrs. Glenda Hortman recog
nized last week’s VIP as Mr.
Roy Jones and chose her gift
from GODDARD’S RED AND
WHITE SUPER MARKET.
We are asking again, please
do not call Mr. Goddard but call
the paper office 862-5835 AT
NINE O'CLOCK, SATURDAY
MORNING. Indentify the fol
lowing Taylor County resident
and again go to GODDARD’S
RED AND WHITE SUPER
MARKET for your gift.
I was born in Marion County
but came to Taylor County to
live many years ago. In fact
my high school graduation oc
curred 25 years ago this past
spring.
While in college, I was chosen
best all around of my sex for two
straight years.
My companion makes a part
of our living by the light of the
moon. We are the proud parents
of one child.
I am always happiest when in
the presence of young people
and 1 have been in the profes
sion I’m in for 22 years.
This picture was made in the
Homemaking Department of
Butler High School as one group
of girls was involved in a face
lifting project in the Depart
ment.
Housekeeping is a major task
of today’s homemaker and
knowing the best way of do
ing each job is included in the
homemaking curriculum.
Learning by doing is now rec
ognized as the one best method
of learning and in this picture
the girls are learning the most
efficient way of washing window,
cleaning Venetian blinds and
painting furniture. Other groups
are involved in making
draperies for the teacher’s
lounge, draperies and slip
covers for the department
living room and refinishing
sewing machines.

choice on Monday, September
17. The count at the end of the
day stood at 250 for Charles
Denning and 71 for Dennon Ro
berson making a total of 321
votes cast in the election. This
was the largest vote ever re
corded in a Reynolds city elec
tion as far as we could learn.
Reynolds is going forward
rapidly and the people realize
the importance of getting out and
voting for the ones who are to
lead them in the city govern
ment. The votes are counted
and the people have spoken.
Let us now forget any bitter
ness in our hearts and get be
hind the city council and give
them support needed to lead the
city on to bigger things.
The city has recently ac
quired a new garbage truck.
Boy Scouts have sold garbage
cans to help the citizens to have
covered standard size contain
ers for helping to speed up the
garbage work.
Now the ground has been
broken and the clearing work
is almost completed for the
new government sponsored
housing project for both white

the Fort Valley Hwy. while
the colored is located on the
Roberta Hwy. Both of these
projects will help Reynolds to
reduce sub standard housing in
town.

His complete statement to
the press was:
Statement to Press - Thurs
day, September 20, 1962
It would be inappropriate for
me to make any kind of general
statement at this time. But as
a point of personal privilege
may I express to the people
of Georgia my deep apprecia
tion for their efforts and for
their signatures which appear
on the petition.
This is the first opportunity
I have had to speak publically
to express my thanks for the
warmth and the kindnesses and
the good wishes of my fellow
Georgians during my illness and
during my recovery.
A man would not be human
if he did not recognize, if he
did not acknowledge his debt to
these people. You have been a
source of strength and I will be
forever grateful to you.
I have no further statement
to make at this time but in
fairness to the people who have
signed these petitions and the
people who have worked to se
cure them I will say to you
just as you have made your de
cision, so I have to make mine,
and my only hope is that I can
make my decision with the same
careful and responsible attitude
that you have made yours and
with the same dedication to our
state. I have a great love for
Georgia and a great desire as a
citizen to serve: and this I
think is our common bond.
Again, let me thank you for
this expression of your con
cern for Georgia and your
confidence in me.
