(City Population 2,500) Cumming Georgia, Thursday October 20, 1955. Today & Tomorrow Louie D. Newton BAINBRIDGE Down at Bainbridge last week for an engagement with Pastor James Burrell and the First Bap tist Church, I enjoyed the majectic oaks, the beautiful river, the at tractive homes and yards, and, best of all, the fine people of that im portant business, social and cultur al community in Southwest Geor gia. They call it the City of Oaks, and very properly. I do not know where you would go to find a more picture of liveoak. How old are they, I asked, and several oldtim ers said they were hundreds and hundreds of years old. I can well believe it. Mr. Raymond Powell took me up the river on two occasions, and I submit that casting for trout on that beautiful stream with Ray mond Powell is super, super fish ing. The low water and the bright sunlight on the sandy bottom had the trout a little shy, but we got a few. Bainbridge is a hospitable com munity. you feel it at the hotel, on the streets, in the churches. The folks take time to visit up and down the streets. They are not in too much of a hurry. They know one another, and they are interest ed in one another. The fellowship of the church people impressed me. I was in a meeting of the pastors of the var ious denominations, and it was strengthening a Methodist pas tor presiding, and an Episcopalian minister keeping the record. They were concerned to do the best pos sible job for the men in training at the air base. Jimmy Burrell is a hustler. He had the people at church every morning at 7:45, and then a radio service at 9:30, and back that even ing at 7:30. Three choirs, led by Frank Bozeman of East Point, made the welkin ring. They love to sing in Bainbridge. We went out to Mt. Zion for a session of the Bowen Association, and there I saw one of the most beautiful rural church meeting houses, highlighting a fine farming community. Pastor Wurst is a stemwinder a young fellow that instructs the men at the air base and serves this growing country church. The farms and pastures round about Bainbridge are indicative of progressive Decatur Countny. Num erous industries provide a substan tial payrool for them. They are really on their way down there in Bainbridge, building boys and girls and good men and women. Soil Conservation News Forsyth County C. L.

WHAT—Hallowe’en Carnival WHERE —Bethelview School WHEN—October 29 at 7 O’clock Cake Walk, Hot Dogs—Lots of fun COME, COME. Bethelview Teachers Fire Protection Vital To Georgia Growth - Griffin ATLANTA—Adequate fire pro tection is as important to the growth and development of our communities as good schools, good churches, good water and sewage facilities. Thus writes Governor Marvin Griffin in the October issue of The Georgia Fire Cracker, monthly pub lication of the Georgia Safety Fire Commission. Pointing out that his interest in fire preveention efforts in Georgia are deeply-rooted, the Chief exe cutiv stated he was proud of the progress being made and also hap py that the nation was cognizant of that fact. He cited the action of the National Association of Insur ance Commissioners, in New York last December, in adopting a reso lution offered by its fire prevention committee recommending that the legislatures of the other 47 states adopt fire safety statues patterned after the Georgia Safety Fire Law of 1949. Governor Griffin also said that he had the satisfaction of helping pass the law while he was lieute nant-governor and explained that while it primarily was designed to saves lives, still it now is saving fire insurance policy holders in ex cess of $15,000,000 annually in re duced premiums. He commended Safety Fire Com missioner Zack Cravey, the Fire Marshal’s office, city and county officials, Dr. M. D. Collins, state school superindent and every fire fighter in the state for their, un tiring efforts to make all citizens fire safety conscious. Their spirit of teamwork was praised. Forsyth County F. F. A. News The members of our Chapter had a very profitable and success ful participation in exhibiting our livestock in both the Co.unty Fair and the Southeastern Fair. The individual members won over $150.- 00 in prizes at the County Fair and the Chapter won $41.00. Three of our members, Jerry McWhorter, Jimmy Wood and Billy Dixon, showed their Sears Roe buck pig chain pigs at the South eastern Fair and won more prizes with them than any other group. Jerry McWhorter won a Blue Ribbon in the Sears Roebuck show and Fourth place in Fitting and Showmanship in the event. In the Open Show he completed against both Junior and Adult groups and won 2 Blue Ribbons annd 2 Grand Champion Ribbons. This meant that his hog was the best Hamp shire hog at the Fair. This is rath er unusual and indicates the qauli ty of work Jerry did. Jimmy Wood was not far behind Jerry. He won a Blue Ribbon in the Sears Roebuck Show, 2 Red Ribbon and a Reserce Grand Champion Ribbon in the Open Show. These Ribbons indicated a clean sweep of the Hampshire Show and represented cash win nings of over $145.00. This is the first time our FFA Chapter has ever won a complete show and we believe it is the first time any Chapter has accomplished it. Billy Dixon showed his Boar at the Fair and won a Red Ribbon in the Sears Roebuck Show. He placed Fifth in the Junior Division of the Open Show. He did a most outstanding job raising his pig even though his placings were not as high as our other two members Billy lost his first pig and had to get a younger pig to compete against all the others at the Fair. The Forsyth County Fair Asso ciation is making available $500.00 to our Chapter to start a Register ed Jersey Calf Chain. It will work similar to the pig chain with the boys giving back their first female calves to the Association. These in turn will be given to other boys. We want to thank the members of the Association for making this progressive move. We will do the best job possible in raising these calves and showing them at the County Fair each year. Dr. Bramblett Heads Chamber of Commerce At a called meeting of the For syth County Chamber of Com merce Friday night at the Com munity House, the following offi cers were elected: The three outgoing members of the Board of Directors were re placede with A. J. Fowler, B. B. Robertson and Carl Jackson. Dre. Rupert H. Bramblett was then elected President, W. M. Rop er, Vice President, William Chamb lee, Treasurer; Jimmie Barnes, Se cretary and W. H. McLaran, Chap lain. Plans for the new year were briefly discussed and committees will be name dat the next regular meeting which will be the first Friday night in November. The time and place to be announced later. With Y our County Agent Walter H. Rucker The youth of Forsyth County along with the dairy industry re ceived a big boost from the For syth County Fair Association at a meeeting last Friday night.. Fair Board members Mr. Ira Bot toms, Mr. Clarence Bagwell, Mr. Steve James, Mr. Ernest Sherrill annd Mrs. Clyde Mize were present along with Mrs. Clarence Bagwell, Mr. Lanier Bannister, Mr. James Harris and your county agent. The meeting was held in the very mod em new Vo. Ag building of the new county high school. Among other business matters aimed at making the annual coun ty fair bigger and better, the fair board voted to make available five hundred dollars each year for the next two years for the purpose of starting a dairy calf chain for the PFA and 4-H club members. The idea was suggested by Mr. Bannis ter and met with the immediate approval of those present. While the rules and regulations as well as many other details are yet to be worked out, the chain will operate basically as follows; a club member will receive a regis tered heifer calf and will agree to care for and grow out the calf ac cording to the rules and regulat ions set up by the fair board. He will agree to breed the calf to a registered bull selected also by the fair board and will return the first heifer calf from the cow to the fair board to be assigned to anoth er club member. At that time the cow will become his property. It will amount to an actual free loan to those dug members which could not afford such a project. An aggreement will have to be signed by both the club member and ther parents. Included in the agreement will be the requirement that the club member fit and show the animal at the county fair. Wlith just a small amount of ima g-nation it is very easy to see the livestock barn filled with some real good dairy cows in future years. Thanks mainly to the foresight of your County Fair Board.
