addition to the VERY Special Field Day event list.
Following lunch, the students participated in an Olym
pic Village which allowed them to complete arts and crafts
activities with the assistance of the Screven County Fligh
School Volunteer students, who also ran the morning ath
letic events. As the students boarded buses to return to their
schools they were presented with “goody” bags with multi-
sensory items to enjoy at home. This was a true community
event in which not only Screven County, but neighboring
counties had representatives involved from organizations
and business working together with the VERY Special Field
Day management team to provide a successful and fulfilling
day for some VERY special and Unique athletes!

"You have turned for me my
mourning into dancing; You
have put off my sackcloth
and clothed me with glad
ness, to the end that my glory
may sing praise to You and
not be silent. O LORD my
God, I will give thanks to
You forever," (Psalm 30:11-
12).
As we have pollen and
flowers, bees and honey,
and thorns and blackberries,
our lives are a mixture of
every kind of experience.
Therefore, it is important
to rely on the unchanging
God when we are shaken by
changes in our lives. Surely

obligation to Dow Scott was
now ended. I hope to ask
him that someday in a much
better place than here.
Margaret Scott Harley
also told me that July is
buried next to Dow’s father,
Nathaniel Scott, in the field
behind Ralph Powell’s
place. Donny Mallard
placed a memorial to honor
July next to Dow Scott’s
cenotaph at Buck Creek
United Methodist Church
Cemetery.
What do I hope to accomplish
with this story? Well, as
there are almost 7,000
descendants of Catherine
Griner and Dow Scott today,
I can’t help but wonder how
many descendants July and
his wife produced? I mean,
after all, I am a genealogist.
Also, are the black Scotts
here in Screven County
July’s descendants? I’m
curious, y’all. Please
help me out if you know
anything.

Glimpses of Yesteryear
Screuen County
In January, the delivered price of a Forson trac
tor was $735.00. Here are some of the things a tractor
will do: plow six acres in a normal day. Plow six, eight
and ten inches deep as easily as a mule will scratch the
ground at two to four inches. Will do the work of six
mules. Requires only one riding the tractor to operate
both the tractor and the plow. Will work all day in the
hottest season without rest. Cannot die, and therefor is
a safer investment than mules. Consumes an average of
13 gallons of fuel and a half-gallon of oil in a ten-hour
day. Costs nothing for fuel on 52 idle Sundays each year.
Costs nothing when idle in wet weather. Will provide an
interest to keep the boy on the fami.

drive Saturday night to complete the community plant

Those witnessing the reports from untiring efforts of
these workers experienced before their eyes a beautiful
example of real cooperation, which goes to show that if
we will work together closely enough, we could change
the entire set-up in our Community and County. The
only way to improve a community, a group of people and
the ideal of living is by cooperation, working together,
unselfishly and unbiasedly, forgetting self, but seeing the
cause and what I can do to improve.
