Fulmer imately 300,000 kilowatts of gene rating capacity could be installed on the specified reach of the Flint river. This additional capacity would nearly double the company’s present hydro electric production, and the engineers said the new electric output is needed to balance the utility's fast-growing steam- electric generation. The company uses electric power generated at its dams principally to meet peak- hour demands of its customers, while its steam-electric generating stations, not dependent on water reservoirs, can operate around the clock.

Butler FFA Receives Plaque for Superior Work Past Year (By Mrs. Verna Griggs) In observing National Newspaper Week, the Reynolds Kiwanis Club invited Editor Leon Smith of the Thomaston Times to speak at the weekly meeting. N. G. Neisler pre sented Mr. Smith who spoke on “Free Newspapers Protect The Freedom of the Individual.” According to Mr. Smith, the first move by dictators in taking over a country is to destroy the freedom of the press. This has recently oc curred in Cuba. There are at the present time 27 countries of the Far East without a daily paper, making them more susceptible to Commu- ist threat. Newspapers are continually being improved. They are truly a bargain for at a price of five or ten cents information secured by many cor respondents is available. One interesting observation made by the editor, who reads and com pares Georgia weeklies, is that bas ed on news content, editorials, for mat and printing, our own county paper, The Butler Herald, is one of the best in the state.
