and a greater distance to stop, so drive at lower speeds!
2. Use safety chains in most states, this is the law.
3. For safety and performance, a metal hitch bracketed
to the frame of your car is preferable to bumper type
hitches. 4. After driving a few miles, check trailer and
tie-downs for secureness loosen tie-downs if trailer
is parked overnight. 5. Check your insurance policy to
make sure your car is covered when towing a trailer.
6; Make sure trader fits your boat it should be
supported in at least three places. For larger motors

On back taxes, I intend to ami will do everything within the power of the officMio
collect these taxes. In my visiting around to some of the homes in the county llifsv
past few days, I find it hard to believe that some of the names which appear on the

involved by having open meetings anil discussing all the problems now facing all the
people of Forsyth County; try to look ahead »"d plan for the rapid growth, and ser
vices of our county.
In consideration of the current financial standing of our county it is useless for me
to try to tell you how vitally important it is that we elect and employ honest citizens
to fill every office of our government. H e must elect a complete body of dedicated,
dependable, honest, and qualified citizens putting emphasis on good and readily avail

Ga. Power .
Wins Four
Ad Awards
The Georgia Power Com
pany's public information and
advertising department has won
four international advertising
awa’ , ' 1 «i in the 50th annual Bet
ter Copy Contest sponsored by
the Public Utilities Advertising
Association. The awards were
presented at a recent meeting
in Detroit.
The company received a
first-place award for outdoor
posters. The winning entry fea
tured stylized flowers and the
message, "Electricity
Bloomin' Big Bargain.”
One of three third - place
awards presented the power
company was for an advertise
ment published in 250 daily
and weekly newspapers. The ad
featured the low price of elec
tricity.
Another third-place winner,
a 60 second radio commercial
highlighted by music from the
19305, also emphasized the high
value and low price of elec
tricity. A brochure describing
the company's Edwin I. Hatch
Nuclear Plant won a thira
place award.
The contest is the oldest
continuous advertising compe
tition in the world. More thar.
l£ n investor-owned electric,
gas and water utilities in nearly
all the 50 states and several
foreign countries competed in
24 categories. Judges viewed
some 2,500 entries.
We've been talking about acid
soils, and the need for lime to
correct the condition, for years
now. Well, we are still talking
about it, and probably will be
for some time to come. In fact
there is a lot of evidence mat
the problem is getting worse.
Extremely acid soil condi
tions are present throughout the
state ana certainly nere in'
Forsyth County. In many in
stances, crop and forage yields
are being severely limited.
And oddly enough, practically
all of these situations are on
farms where growers have been
following a good fertility pro
gram and producing high per
acre yields. It seems like a
paradox.
P. J. Bergeaux, Extension
Service agronomist - soils and
fertilizer, explained what’s
been happening. Higher use
of acid forming nitrogen fer
tilizers, in recent years, along
with increased removal of cal
cium and magnesium from the
soil, has brought on soil acidity/
In any case, the old rule of
thumD of one ton of lime per
acre every three years no
longer holds. More frequent
liming is required to compen
sate for the higher levels of_
acidity.
We recommend that farmers
who are using high rates of
nitrogen and producing high
crop yields, have a soil test
made to check their lime re
quirements every year.
STICKY STUFF
Your pecan leaves are cov
ered with a sticky-shiny sub
stance and you wonder what it
is. Well, many pecan tree own
ers all over the state are won
dering the same thing.
Kay Livingston, head of our
Extension horticulture depart
ment, says the “sticky stuff”
if called “honeydew.” It is pro
duced by certain pecan aphids.
The sticky - shiny substance
covers the leaves, and some of
it drops onto anything under
neath the trees. If you’ve left
automobiles, lawn furniture,
etc., under pecan trees here la
tely, you know what can happen.
MILLIPEDES
We’ve received more com
plaints about millipedes this
year than we have in a long,
long time. These “thousand -
legged” worms can become a
nuisance around homes.
Millipedes normally live out
doors in damp places under
leaves and in mulch around out
door plantings, for example.
They feed on damp and decay
ing vegetable matter, and occa
sionally on the new roots of
plants.
After several days of heavy
rain, they move in great num
bers into homes, and often are
a nuisance on walks and pa-

If you are having trouble with
these pests, we suggest remov
ing lawn clippings, piles of le
aves, trash and excessive mulch
areas adjacent to the house.
Rodney Coleman, one of our
Extension entomologists, says
an application oi five to ten per
cent Sevin dust around the out
side of the home is an effec
tive control measure. A spray
application of Two per cent ch
lordane or three per cent
malathion is also recomm
ended.
PICKLEWORMS
Populations of pickleworms
usually become heavy about this
time every year. Unless con
trolled, these pests can comple
tely destroy a crop of cucum
bers, squash, or cantaloupes.
The caterpillars tunnel in fl
owers, buds, stems, and fruits.
Extension Entomologist Em
mett Harris says pickleworms
can be controlled by applying
lindane or Sevin sprays or du
sts at five - to seven - day
intervals. These insecticides
should be applied in the late
afternoon or early evening when
honey bees are less likely to be
in the fields.
TO THE VOTERS OF FORSYTH COUNTYs
At the request of numerous friends throughout the County
/ have entered the race for Clerk of Superior Court of Forsyth
County, subject to the rules and regulations of the Democratic
Primary to be held August 8, 1972.
My personal belief is that this office belongs to the people
of the County, and if elected to this office / pledge to operate
it in such a way that you will feel that it is your office and
that Ido not own it. YOU WILL BE WELCOME AND TREATED
IN A FRIENDLY, COURTEOUS MANNER AND NO PARTIALITY WILL
BE SHOWN TO ANYONE. In my thinking, a citizen of this
County, regardless of financial circumstances, wants to be, and
deserves to be treated in a dignified, friendly manner.
/ fully understand what the pay of this office is, and /
will not enter into a conspiracy with the Chairman of the
County Commissioners and hold secret, night meetings with
members of the State Legislature, and other elected officials to
get County salaries raises for this four year term. / feel that the
taxpayers burden is becoming more than we can bear and these
raises were engineered mostly without your knowledge and against
your wishes. At a publicized meeting of approximately 400 to 500
concerned taxpayers no one from any County office was pre
sent to explain why a raise for County officials was needed at
that time.
As clerk of the Jury Revisors / shall recommend that they
place the names of more of our good citizens in both the Grand
Jury and Petit Jury Boxes. / think that it is a personal insult
to many of our citizens that they could live a lifetime in this
county, and never be given the opportunity to serve the County
in this manner. / know that many of you decent, upright
citizens don't actually desire to be placed in the Jury boxes but
/ also know that you resent the fact that a select few are
always there, and you are completely ignored.
Recently / served on the County Board of Tax Assessors *
on a temporary basis. You will recall that an attempt was made
by the County Commissioners to raise property valuations on a
great many home owners and a suit was brought in Court.
Judge Marion Pope asked me to serve a short time as tax
assessor and roll back these new valuations to their previous level,
and levy the County's taxes so that our schools and other
services would not have to close. This I did, but lam no
longer a member of this board. This action prevented the
utter destruction of our County, where I have spent all my
life and which I truly love. I definitely favor Tax relief for the
small land and home owners, who are presently overburdened with
ad valorem taxes and if elected / will do every thing within my
power to help relive this burden.
I am married and we have one daughter. I graduated
from Cumming High School and attended North Georgia
College at Dahkmega, and / have had more than 25 years
of business experience in the Feed and Poultry Business.
All this, I feel, will eminently qualify me to serve as
Clerk of our Su/aerior Court and I will appreciate your
kind consideration when you go to the voting booth to
select a new Clerk of Court. Elect me to this office and I
will be ever mindful of the Taxpayers Interest for the
next four years.

Soil Conservation Service
Our emphasis in the 1930 s
was on protecting agricultural
land from damage. Now, there
is concern not only for the value
of a ton of soil lost by the
landowner, but even more con
cern for the cost of having
to remove that ton of eroded
material from someone Oise's
land or from estuaries, lakes,
reservoirs, highways, rail
roads or runways. Sediment is
recognized as a major water
pollutant and as a carrier of
other pollutants. Chemical ami
pesticide residues and harm
ful pathogens are carried off
the land absorbed on or In sol
ution with sediment.
That recognition is giving a
new sense of priority or ur
gency to conservation pro
grams. It Is underscoring
the need to improve the envir
onment for whole communities,
beyond simply protecting the
property of landowners.
