JEFFERSON, JACKSON COUNTY, GEORGIA
THREE JACKSON
COUNTY SONS MAKE
SUPREME SACRIFICE
Three Jackson County soldiers
have been killed in action, accord
ing to information received by rela
tives. They are Pvt. James Smith,
Thurman Redd" and Sgt. J. P. Whit
field. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Smith of
Talmo received word frpm the War
Department that their son, Pvt.
James Smith, was killed in action
in Germany.
In addition to his parents, broth
ers and sisters, he is survived by his
wife and two children. Pvt. Smith
was inducted into the Army last
year and had been overseas only a,
short time.
A telegram from the War Depart
ment was received by Mr. and Mrs.
Charlie Redd of near Jefferson
stating that their son, Thurman
Redd, who joined the Army piior
to the war, had been killed in ac
tion. In addition to his parents,
brothers and sisters, he is also sur
vived by his wife. Mr. and Mrs. M.
W. Whitfield of near Jefferson re
ceived word from the War Depart
ment that their son, Sgt. J. P. Whit

DR. L T. STOVALL
TALKS TO ROTARY
Jefferson Rotary furnished its
own speaker Tuesday—Dr. J. T.
Stovall, who was introduced by the
chairman of the program commitee,
George Westmoreland.
Dr. Stovall’s subject was “How
To Improve Our Town And Com
munity.” He congratulated this
community on its contribution to
the present world conflict. “Our
men and women,” said he, “who re
turn from war services are entitled
to and expect to come back to a
| happy and prosperous home town.”
The foundation of a community is
“homes, churches, schools and pub
lic health.”
He said, “Our home makers must
by precept and example live up to
the Golden Rule.” Churches and
homes are closely related. “We need
more interest, more devotion and
loyalty to our community churches.”
A recreational church program,
good books, magazines are contribu
tions to church interest.
Our school plans are made to
meet the needs of a progressive
town which plans call for school
lunches. Our health program, so nec
essary to any progressive communi
ty, it is hoped later will include a
nurse for our school This com
munity in conection with the health
program should have a hospital
This need stands above every other
at this time.
It is a big contribution to a town
to have a prosperous agriculture.
Scientific farming should be en
couraged and practiced. Our com
munity has a canning plant and it
is gratifying that a freezer locker is
also coming. Farmers should have
a good market for the products of
the soil. Good shipping facilities and
a firs- class hotel are big contribu
tions to a progressive community.
President Clifford Storey made a
report on the organization of a Ro
tary Club in Toccoa. H? read a list'
of 15 charter members, one of whom
j is F. L. Northcutt, who married Miss'
Annelle Williamson, formerly of
i this city. President Storey said,
j “The new club is composed of a
body of most excellent men.”
Six members were absent. Mrs.
! H. I. Mobley was a guest. The song
leader was Dr. J. T. Stovall with
Miss Mabeth Storey at the piano.

LT. JOHN HANCOCK
There came over the wires from
the war field overseas to Mrs. Claud
Hancock, a message telling her that
her son, John Hancock, has been
made a Second Lieutenant. He en
tered as a volunteer private the
military service of our country in
June, 1941. From 1941 to 1943 he was
in service in Alaska, winding up in
the Aleutians. He was then given a
leave and visited his mother and
other relatives and friends here in
Jefferson. From here he was sent
to England where he has seen com
bat service. The promotion came
for faithful and efficient service.
The only person he has met since
being in service in Europe that he
knew here at home is his cousin,
Captain Donald Hancock. Lt. Han
cock’s friends rejoice that he has
been honored.
His twin brother, Jack Hancock,
