v: ,r' h VOLUME 76 NO. 34 Greenwave Opens Friday Here With YJIkinson (Peachland journal By DANIEL K. GRAHL GREENWAVE OPENS HERE TOMORROW NIGHT AT 8:30 The 1964 version of the Green wave of Fort Valley High School will open tomorrow night at 8:30 at Anderson Field. With only a limited number of returnees and a squad of only 24 players, the local team faces some thing of a crisis. Of course, Coach Sims and his staff are looking for the best of results hut injuries could play a most important part in the net record of the team this year. Moving into Region 2-B for the first time the Wave faces stiff op- ■ known quantities, thus they are a danger to the Wave on the field. At any rate, the Wave opens at home tomorrow night and we hope you will go out and see tse game. While small in number, we know the boys to be strong and large in desire and effort. We know they will give a good account of them selves and we will enjoy it. Meet u§ at Anderson Field at 8:30 p, m, SIX SEEK DEMO NOD; ONLY ONE REPUBLICAN IN RACE It was brought to our attention last week that there may he some confusion among voters on the va rious races to be decided this fall. Some six men are seeking the Demo nomination for Congressman from the Third Georgia District. That nomination will be made on September 9th, along with the se lection of a State Senator from the 18th Georgia Senatorial Dis trist. On September 9 Charlie Adams, Garland Byrd, Steve Pace, Jr. Er ie Cocke, Jr., Robert Newby and Ed Wohlwender will seek the Deni ocratic nod for Congressman. On November 3, in the general elect ion, the winner of the Demo nod will face Howard “Bo” Callaway for the same post. For State Senator Dreyfus L. Fountain, a native of Peach Coun ty and a resident of Warner Rob ins since 1942, is seeking the spot now held by Stanley E. Smith of Perry, w 7 ho was elected two years ago in a special election over Wil liam J. “Bill” Wilson of Fort Val ley. At the same time, on a strictly local level, Fred Murphy and E. H. Holland are “butting heads” for a post on the new Peach County commissioners. Donnie Doles and “Toon” Mose ley have already been named with out opposition to the other two posts. JOHNSON WAS BAD ENOUGH BUT HUMPHREY IS WORST There are two people that most everyone wants to trust above all others, lest it be their preacher. One is their doctor and the oth er is their pharmacist. I have been lucky. My father was a preacher and my father-in law was a druggist. Since they have been gone I have had fine preachers, and I have had Homer Avera, Pete Peterson, Malcolm Taylor, Walstein Wheeler, Troy Whatley, and Charles Cato—all men I could trust. As a Democrat and as an Amer ican I have inherited Lyndon B. Johnson. Now they say the Demo crats have picked my pharmacist, Hubert Humphrey. As Herman Talmadge said in the days he had to worry a little about election, I didn’t like ‘Hum pty Dumpty” even then. I like him less as a vice presidential candi date. I’ll stick to Homer Avera, Pete Peterson, Malcolm Taylor, et al for my prescriptions. j he 1 Jk v n £ 4* position in their initial year in the region.

H. Clark as j president, recently completed its week of pre-planning held at the Peach County Elementary School. Special features of the groups’ activities included the “teaching of modern Mathematics” and “group ing” for instruction. Donald F. Dean, consultant in modern mathematics, spent two days discussing and demonstrat ing new approaches in that area. Mrs. Annie R. Reed, Curriculum Director, presented principles, and practices and techniques of “group ing”, which will be implemented this schocl term. During the week, under the di rection of the guidance staff, the teachers were provided with test ing experiences which gave insight relative to a climate conducive to effective testing. Echoes from summer enrichment ■ programs fcr high school students were heard from a panel including Elizabeth Miller, Jasmine Dawson, Beverly Delton, Kathy Bryant and Alexander Fluellen. These students shared their experiences from pro grams held at Knoxville College, Fort Valley State College, and Hampton Institute, respectively. The panel was coordinated by Miss Juanita Saulsbury, who worked in the Summer Study Skills Program at Knoxville. -- - Highlights of the statewide sum merr eeading program for pri mary grades were given by Miss Ruth Allen, a first grade teacher who was selected to teach the class in this unit. Peach County Superintendent of Schools E. R. Anderson addressed the group explaining policies pert inent to the Peach County School System. Mrs. J. C. Lumpkin installed the following officers for the current year: President, Mrs. Willa B. Cu bry; vice president, Chester Stem bridge; recording secretary, Mrs. Elizabeth Hawkins; assistant sec retary, Mrs. Evelyn Morse; finan cial secretary, Mrs. Bessie Davis; treasurer, Mrs. Ruby Church; the chaplain, Mrs. Frances Heskin; parliamentarian, James Gibson; sgt. at-arms, Rudolph Lumpkin; reporter, Miss Juanita Saulsbury. The week climaxed with a mes sage from Supervising Principal H. E. Bryant, who emprasized specific obligations and responsi bilities of teachers in the system. Additions to the faculty for the year 1964-65 are Mrs. Carolyn Sampson, Miss Isabell Fluellen, Mrs. Juanita Varner, Mrs. Janie Brown, Mrs. Mildred Levy, Mrs. Wynton Hadley, and Mr. Charles Campbell. Lime Is Vital To Soybean Production By R. P. Swan, County Agent Soybeans are heavy feeders on soil calcium. In Georgia, soybeans are de creasing in importance as a hay and green manure crop, but are becoming increasingly more im portant as an oil crop. Since soybeans feed heavily on soil calcium, they will soon deplete the calcium supply of soils poorly supplied with lime. Although only limited research is available in Georgia on the res ponse of soybeans t@ lime, many tests in other southeastern states show that the coils’ supply of lime can play an important role in grea ter soybean production. For example, an experiment in Alabama gives an insight into the lime needs of soybeans. An unlim ed soil soil with a PH of 4.3 yield ed only 14.6 bushels of soybeans per acre. But when the same soil with a PH of 5.9 the yield was in creaser to 30.3 bushels per acre.
