Patrick Speaks
To Kiwanians
Rev. W. W. Whaley, pastor
of the Reynolds Methodist
Church, introduced Bucky Pat
rick, Methodist Youth Director
at the church, as the guest
speaker for the Friday luncheon
meeting of the Reynolds Kiwanls
Club.
Mr. Patrick stated that he
had found big hearted people
in Reynolds who willingly
share their homes, families
and lives. He said that
Reynolds had helped him far
more than any good he had
done here.
Speaking on the youth he had
worked with this summer, he
emphasized the need for
planned programs for the
children. He said that the
most valuable property in the
city of Reynolds is its youth
and they need every ad
vantage possible to offer
them. Although he had had
trouble getting the boys to go
to camp, he urged the
parents to send their children
to camp for the planned
programs and learning they
will get. He suggested the
building of other recreational
facilities for the wholesome
fun that youth need in their
spare time.
The new golf manager has
been chosen to succeed Chuck
Bishop who will be moving
to Thomaston to assume a
position there. He is Grady
Elder, a Kiwanis member.
Bishop also expressed his
appreciation to the Kiwanians
and people of Reynolds for
their cooperation and help
during the time he had been
in Reynolds.

Mrs. Margery Fitzsimmons,
Butler High School teacher,
spoke to the Georgia teachers
of homemaking at their
annual conference last week.
Her speech titled, "Coopera
ting with the Department of
Family and Children’s Ser
vices,” was a report on an
adult foods class taught at
the Butler school. Mrs. Fitz
simmons is a pioneer in
this field among teachers
outside Atlanta and Macon.
Mrs. Barbara Payne, home
making teacher at Reynolds
High School, also attended
the three day conference
at the FFA-FHA Camp at
Jackson Lake.
The theme of the conference
was “Taking A Different
Look at Teaching Home Econo
mics.” The Keynote speaker,
Dr. Elizabeth Simpson, de
partment head at the Uni
versity of Illinois, reminded
the teachers that it is
becoming increasingly im
portant for the homemaking
teacher to assume added re
sponsibility for preparing her
pupils for the dual role of
homemaker - wage earner.
The key words used over
and over again during the
conference were QUALITY
and DEPTH, characteristics
which should permeate every
good homemaking program.
At the Wednesday morning
meeting, Mrs. Fitzsimmons
was elected chairman of the
Americus District Study Group
which includes 30 homemaking
teachers. As chairman she is
responsible for making plans
for three Saturday meetings
of the study group to be
held at intervals during the
school year. She was also
invited to speak at the meeting
of the Georgia Home
Economics Association next
spring.

Auto Damages
Western Auto
An auto driven by Mary Alice
Lockhart jumped the curb and
caused considerable damage to
the Western Auto Store on the
Square in Butler about noon,
Tuesday. As she was about to
take a test for drivers license,
Mary Alice attemped to back
out of a parking place in front
of store and instead of going in
reverse, she shifted into for
ward gear.
Striking the building on the
east side of the door, an unde
termined amount of damage
was done to the front window
and brickwork beneath the win
dow. About $100 damage was
done to the car, according to
Police Chief R. C. Peacock
who investigated the accident.
No charges were filed in the
case.
Sampler Operation
Butler, Georgia, a small
town on US 19 is changing
the skyline of South Georgia,
Florida and Alabama. This
small town of 1,400 is the
proud home of a new and
important manufacturing ope
ration.
Here in a small well
arranged plant, owners J. C.
and H. W. Suggs fabricate
the “Pneumatic Sampler”
for the Peanut Industry.
As the name implies, this
machine is used to extract
random samples of peanuts as
they arrive at buying points
throughout the tri-state area.
Mr. Suggs has an exclusive
contract to build these
samplers for use at all
buying points where peanuts
are taken in under the
peanut loan and price support
program of U. S. D. A.
One is amazed that the
small Butler, Georgia plant
can ’ fabricate 165 units per
year. A close inspection of
the operation, however, re
veals the reasons. The
operation is obviously very
efficient, utilizing a modified
"compact” assembly line pro
duction method.
The plant operates five (5)
days per week with about two
(2) dozen employees. All
fabrication is according to
specifications of U. S. D. A.
and each machine is ap
proved by the Federal-State
Inspection Service with Mr.
H. M. Riley, Albany, Georgia
in charge.
Mr. P. W. Fisher is re
sident inspector for the
Federal-State Inspection Ser
vice and is on duty to
check out, calibrate and ap
prove each unit before re
leasing them to the buying
point. He will check and
re-calibrate the units after
final installation at the buying
points when necessary.
According to Mr. Fisher,
this is the only machine
of its type. The first pilot
sampler of this type was
installed at Stevens Industries,
Dawson, Georgia last year and
another at Dothan, Alabama

Butler Wins Peach
Belt Championship
Butler defeated Centerville

Centerville batters and issuing
no walks.
It was the Mets eighth
straight win after a slow
start at the beginning of
the season. Butler finished
the season with a 10-2
record. Warner Robins was
