Check Your
Pecan Trees
For Rosette
Pecan trees that are defi
cient in zinc may develop a
condition called “rosette.”
Extension Service hor
ticulturists say late summer,
about a month before the
first killing frost, is a good
time to check for the disease.
Symptoms include dead
wood in the tree tops;
defoliation, discoloring and
mottling of leaves in the
tops; numerous dead twigs
on the tree; young leaves
that are small, yellow, curv
ed and ripple shaped; under
sized nuts, and numerous
lateral twigs near the ends of
limbs.
November 3,1980.
The 22 Metro All-Stars will
be honored at a breakfast at
the Atlanta Marriott Hotel
on Saturday, Dec. 6, to be at
tended by parents, coaches,
principals, former All-Stars
and prominent sports fig
ures. WSB Radio’s Jeff
Charles will serve as master
of ceremonies for the event.

Amendment 3 Pushed
The Georgia Association
of Educators has called on
the voters of Georgia to sup
port Constitutional Amend
ment No. Three (3) on the
Nov. 4 ballot to assure the
students and parents of this
state that qualified educa
tors will remain in the teach
ing profession.
Amendment No. 3 will set
.up a program to reimburse
educators for required
courses they must take in or
der to remain certified to
teach. The State Depart
ment of Education presently
requires educators to take
ten (10) quarter hours over a
period of three years to re
tain certification.
According to GAE Exec
utive Secretary and State
Senator Horace E. Tate, au
thor of the amendment,
“Georgia teachers are subsi
dizing the universities of this
state in excess of $3 million
from their own pockets each
year to retain certification.
This amendment would have
the state providing that
service for only $2.5 mil
lion.”
“This amendment would
require participating educa
tors to remain in the profes
sion in Georgia at least one
year following the year in
which the courses are
taken.”
In 1980, some 6,000 veteran
educators left the profession
for reasons other than re
tirement. The Georgia Asso
ciation of Educators feels
passage of this amendment
would entice many of those
educators to remain in the
classroom.
GAE President Roger
Sharrock said, “Everyone
agrees that school teachers
are underpaid. Requireing
them to. pay for additional
course work is an added ex
pense many simply cannot
afford, especially when
JSra could win ■
