“THANKS FOR CALLING!" To let you know how much
we appreciate having you as a customer, we re celebrating
“Thanks for Calling” month. That’s our way of saying
thanks not only for the calls
you make, but also for the op
portunity of serving you. And
that goes for all of us—opera
tors, installers, service repre- JHGfiHH
sentatives, linemen. When you jyg|SdJ|g| b
see our “Thanks for Calling" tyaß
badges, or hear that phrase, M
please take it, too, as a small
expression of the satisfaction
we get out of bringing people S Sft
together and supplying com- Ij§ ||f
munications services so impor- IS
tant to you. Again, “Thanks
for Calling!” •

AFTER-HOLIDAYS LET-DOWN? Friends and relatives
who gathered for the holidays are scattered again . . .
children are back at college ... all the happy hustle and
bustle is over. But don’t let it get you down! Out-of-town
folks are always as near as your phone. And Long Dis
tance costs so little especially when you call station-to
station after 6 P.M. or any time Sundays. By the way,
why not arrange a regular time for your college son or
daughter to call home? It’s a happy event you’ll both look
forward to, whether once a week or once a month.

IT S ODD, in a way, how many farms around the country
have all kinds of work-saving machinery —but just one
telephone. For example you'll see electric milking ma
chines, power tools, conveyors, grain mixers. Yet when
the phone rings, someone has to run from one of the farm
buildings into the house ... or through several rooms . . .
to answer it (and that’s usually the farmer’s wife). With
extension phones costing only pennies a day each, the
modern farm should have them wherever needed. Just call
us for more information.

4-H Projects Rote
Best in State
Intense interest in community
li ala problems and Ellen Lyle,
17, go together in Savannah.
Chosen state 4-H Health winner,
she was recently awarded a trip
to the National 4-H Club Con
gress held in Chicago. The award
donor was Kli Lilly & Company.
Although Miss Lyle chose
health as one of her projects
when she joined the Harrock
Hall 4-H Club six years ago, it
was not until her second year
that she decided to make it her
main activity.
She has since helped care for
a TB patient adopted by her club,
set up innumerable health dis
plays, and been a volunteer work
er during cancer and polio drives.
This year Miss Lyle passed her
first aid course. She has written
many news articles on health,
appeared on TV, and given talks
before 4-H groups throughout the
state.
Miss Lyle has held several offi
ces in her local and Chatham
County 4-H Clubs, and has served
on state, district and county com
mittees.
" John Hodges, 19, of Claxton, is
a firm believer in the importance
to agriculture of the newest sci
entific discoveries and modern
technology. State winner in the
4-H Boys’ Agricultural program,
he has also just returned from
the congress. His trip was pro
vided by International Harvester.
A dozen valuable 4-H projects
piled up sizeable savings to fi
nance young Hodges’ college
education at the University of
Georgia.
In a beef project, he increased
his herd of 16 head of registered
Aberdeen Angus cattle, consist
ently placing high in Evans
County shows.

In pasture, Hodges was runner
up, vanning $l9O and the first of
four trips to State 4-H Congress.
This collegian also set out 4,000
slash pine seedlings on the 729-
acre family farm.
During the past year, he re
ceived a scholarship for outstand
ing leadership and the Distin
guished Service certificate for his
work with the Clayton Senior 4-H
Club.
These 4-H programs are con
ducted by the Cooperative Exten
sion Service.

A MATTER OF RECORD
Cows with production records
sell higher than cows with no re
cords, decalre dairymen at the
Agricultural Extension Service.
They add that records also furnish
accurate breeding and dry dates;
aid in culling, breeding, and feed
ing; are valuable for proving herd
sires, and serve as guides for effi
cient dairying.
PREMATURE BIRTHS
A study of 7500 mothers in three
hospitals showed that women who
were heavy smokers accounted for
33.3 percent of the premature
births; lighter smokers (15 to 25
cigarettes a day) accounted for an
additional 38.6 percent of prema
ture births. These facts are from

Reports From
teili WASHINGTON
GEORGIANS IN CONGRESS;
have called on the Post Office De- |
partment to pay deserved tribute j
to the memory of the late Senator j
Thomas E. Watson as the father
>f Rural Free Delivery.
rfs| All 12 mem
'''mliMi hers of the
f I Georgia Delega-
J \ tion during the j
t Second Session
. of the 85th Con
gress signed a
.jjtp*"?* <tter drafted
BlPßja JirelSi man Paul Brown
of Elberton requesting the is- j
suance of a special commemora- (
tive stamp in honor of Senator I
Watson and his contributions to i
the development of rural mail I
service in this country. Congress- j
man Brown and his friend, Con
gressman Tom Murray of Tennes
see, who is Chairman of the House
Committee on Post Office and Civil j
Service, personally delivered the |
petition to Postmaster General
Arthur E. Summerfield. Mr. Sum- j
Drfield since has advised the
Georgia Delegation that the matter
has been taken under advisement
by the Department’s Citizens’
Stamp Advisory Committee.
• * *
ALTHOUGH THE FIRST of
ficial suggestion that the Federal
Government inaugurate free rural
mail service came from Postmaster
General Wanamaker in 1891, the
Library of Congress reports that
it was Senator Watson who, as a
member of the House of Repre
sentatives, sponsored the first suc
cessful bill appropriating money
for that purpose in 1893. The Li
brary points out that “Senator
Watson worked ceaselessly for
Rural Free Delivery” and concludes
thr.' • • >r Watson was really
the fa! of Rural Free Delivery.”
iio' prepared or printed at government expense)
Thursday, January 15, 1959.
It is interesting to note that
Senator Watson’s inspiration for
Rural Free Delivery dates back to
1868 when, as a boy clerk working
in Norwood, Georgia, he witnessed
the inauguration of a privately
financed mail route serving six
families who hired a man to de
liver and collect mail at their homes
each day except Sundays and holi
days. That original “RFD” be
came the pattern for the service
authorized by Senator Watson’s
bill passed by Congress a quarter
of a century later.
* • •
THE GEORGIA RURAL Letter
Carriers’ Association endorsed the
idea at its annual meeting last
year, declaring by resolution that
"Watson was an outstanding mem
ber of the Congress of the United
States and worthy of recognition
as the ‘father of Rural Free De
livery’.” The National Rural
Letter Carriers’ Association
adopted a similar resolution at its
subsequent convention in Des
\ Moines, lowa.
With the possible exception of
rural electrification, no single gov
j ernmental program has had great
, er impact upon the advancement
of rural life in the United States
than Rural Free Delivery. Cer
tainly no one man has made a
i greater individual contribution to
i rural progress than did Thomas
j E. Watson in successfully advanc
i ing the idea.
Therefore, it would be most
I fitting that he be honored by the
j issuance of a special commemora
tive stamp and that that stamp be
j officially issued at Norwood,
Georgia.
