tion Administration. Mr. Parr be
gan to work with this organization
and obtained a charter for certain
areas of Taylor county. Soon after
this Mr. Parr was made President
and Chanrman of the Board of the
Taylor County R. E. A., which has
since been changed to its present
name of Flint River R. E. A. He
held the position for four years and
resigned in December, 1940. During
his services as President and
Chairman, a line forty-six miles
and two hundred members increas
ed to a line extending from Bibb to
Muscogee county with 1,600 mem
bers. I can assure you that Mr.
Parr was largely responsible for
this.
At the present time, the only
public service Mr. Parr is rendering
Is that of being a member of the
committee of Farm Security Ad
ministration and that of serving the
people of Taylor and other counties
with his poultry farm, which is
steadily increasing and becoming
more serviceable.
These contributions, particularly
In the development of a real, live
poultry business, have made Mr.
Parr's name famous all over Geor
gia. That it is a worthwhile thing
he has done is evidenced by the
testimony of Ralph McGill, Execu
tive Editor of the Atlanta Consti
tution, Dr. Gosnell of the Emory
University faculty, and many oth
ers, who have either written or
spoken in high praise of this model
co-operative enterprise developed
here in Taylor county.
Thus, as for me, if I were giving
an "Oscar” this year, as the Motion
Picture Academy does, I should
give it to Emory Franklin Parr for
making the most advanced contri
bution to the state of Georgia of
any citizen of Taylor county.
