County News and Editor Tony

personal contacts and meetings.
We appreciate their help.

in the past, we will try to write
about timely and interesting
subjects, in a practical way, in
hopes that the information pre-

| IN YOUR HOME
Georgia College of Agriculture.
That makes us a University fac
ulty member here in Forsyth
County.
Extension work is a coop
erative undertaking of the Un
iversity, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture and Forsyth Co
unty. Our financial support
comes from the state, the fed
eral government and the county.
The Extensio n program is
carried on locally by the coun
ty Extension staff-the county
agent and county Extension
home economist. We are aided
and supported by state and area
subject matter specialists.
WHAT WE DO
In our work we use the re
sults of research, combined
with practical experience, to
help people find solutions to
problems. We work in areas of
agriculture, agribusiness, ho
me economics and community
resource development, and th
rough the 4-H Club program we
work with boys and girls.
The Extension Service was
created by the Smith-Lever Act,
passed by the Congress in 1914..
“to aid in diffusing among the
people of the United States use
ful and practical information
on subjects relating to agricul
ture and home economics...”
During these past 55 years
we hope our organization has
made a contribution to pro
gress. We believe it has.
We look forward to serving
you during the years ahead. Call
on us, won’t you? Our office is
located in the County Office Bu
ilding in Cumming. Tel.

State Parks Bekon In Winter
The thrilling possibility of
snow and the cozy warmth of a
cottage with an open fireplace
in six .of Georgia’s mountain
state parks is an appealing
combination that beckons to Ge
orgians and out of state visi
tors on dreary winter days.
“Add to this a 30 per cent
discount in rates for more than
one night rental on all over
night accommodations in Ge
orgia’s state parks and one of
North Georgia’s ‘whitest’ sea
sons, and you have good reason
to leave home for a weekend,”
commented State Parks Dir
ector John L. Gordon in call
ing attention to the winter won
derland in Georgia’s mountain
ous areas.
The North Georgia state
parks with cottages and fire
places include Amicalola Falls
