GEORGIA
EATONTON
(PRN)--Putnam County,
Georgia’s leading producer of
milk, will take time out here
on Wednesday, June 17, to
pay tribute to this industry by
staging the 17th Annual
Putnam County Dairy Festival
and Industrial Day.
The festival, a tradition
now, began in the early 1950’s
to honor dairying and the milk
producer because this industry
changed the economic
structure of this section of the
Popular
Days

PRODUCTION

Monday, June 8, 1970
state.
Putnam County was on the
brink of financial disaster after
the boll weevil wrecked cotton
production in this area in
thel92o’s.
Stalwart residents turned to
the cow and a new era which
has resulted in Putnam’s
present-day multi-million
dollar dairy industry. Milk
production and processing
provide employment for
literally thousands of persons
in Putnam and surrounding
counties.
The dairy festival, through
the years, has become a day of
homecoming in the county
and former residents make a
point of “visiting the folks
back home” at this time of the
year.
The festival has been
sponsored since its inception
by the Eatonton Exchange
Club and is being revived this
year after being cancelled in
1969 because of lack of funds.
Events for the day on June
17, will begin with a giant
parade through downtown
Eatonton at 10 o'clock, A
platform program featuring
addresses by leading officials,
a barbecue served on a
downtown street beginning at
noon, and various other
afternoon activities.
Miss Diane Mclntosh,
a-17-year-old brown eyed
brunette, will reign as queen
of the 1970 Dairy Festival and
Industrial Day.
She was selected as Miss
Putnam County of 1970 at a
beauty pageant held in
February and will be crowned
festival queen during platform
ceremonies by Commissioner
of Agriculture, Tommy Irvin.
The festival this year has
been combined with a salute
to local industry in keeping
with Putnam’s changing
economy which is now geared
to agri-business.
In keeping with the theme,
individual industrial exhibits
from local firms and industries
serving the county are planned
on the courthouse square.
Although dairying has been
a mainstay in the economy of
Putnam County, other
industries have played an
important role here to
produce a diversification
which rounds out a pattern of
progressive living for the
residents.
Os interest to visitors here
on festival day will be the
Uncle Remus Museum.
Putnam County is the
birthplace of Joel Chandler
Harris, noted author, folklorist
and creator of the immortal
Uncle Remus stories.
The museum, located three
blocks from the courthouse on
U.S. Highway 441, consists of
a log cabin made from two
slave cabins and is similar to
the one occupied by Uncle
Remus, the character made
famous by the folklore stories
of Mr. Harris.
The cabin, through murals,
artifacts and historical items,
depicts the time of Uncle
Remus and “de critters.”
The Tourist Division of the
Georgia Department of
Industry and Trade suggests
you attend the 17th annual
Putnam County Dairy Festival
on June 17 and join in the
fun.
Early Kentucky
FRANKFORT, Ky. (UPI)-
Census figures indicate that in
1775, at the time of the Am
erican Revolution, the popu
lation of the area which is
now Kentucky was about 100.
Ten years later the figure
had jumped to 20,000, and by
the year 1800 upwards of
220,000 people had settled in
the region.
Deputy Dan Debuts
LOS ANGELES (UPI) -The
distribution of 90,000 “Deputy
Dan” coloring books to Los
Angeles school children has
finally been approved by the
sheriff’s department.
The issuance of the booklets,
designed to promote friendly
relations between youngsters
and deputy sheriffs, was halted
last week after a hawk-eyed
deputy complained that the
California bear on Deputy
Dan’s helmet looked more like
a Pig-
However, Capt. Garland Aus
tin, head of the community
relations office, said, “In some
peoples minds it looks like it
might appear to be a pig rather
than a bear. But to me, it looks
like a bear.”
