EARLY COUNTY, GA.
GARDEN SPOT OF
GOD’'S COUNTRY
VOLUME 97 ) NO. 15
PEARSON 45-12
The Bobcats closed out the 19556
regular gridiron season in Pearson the
past Friday night, winning 45 to 12,
The Blakely eleven ended the year
with nine wins, no losses, and one tie,
for the most successful season, except
for a few years when six-man football
was played, since 1032,
Down to Wayeross go the 'Cats today
to play Patterson, 1-B east region win
ners, for the conference championship.
A huge crowd of Blakely fans are ex
pected to accompany the team to
Waycross. Coaches Buckner, Chester
and Knight took the team over yes
terday and spent the night in order to
get in a little practice on the Ware
county field. For the benefit of many
fans who will be unable to attend the
game in person, a group of Blakely
business houses have aranged to have
the game broadcast direct from Way
cross over radio station WDWD, Daw
son. Billy Woodall will give a play
by-play account of this game.
Two key men are plagued with in
juries. Aubrey Rentz has a swollen
right arm, and lineman Calvin Loy
less has an infected leg. But ace
quarterback Perry Jarrett, who was
held out of the Morgan and Pearson
games, is expected to be ready for ac
tion.
Rentz was the big gun for the Bob
cats against Pearson, scoring three
touchdowns and two extra points
Johnny Holman accounted for two
TD's and one extra point, and sub
back Buddy Timmons got the other
one. Harry Clifton piloted the team
in the absence of Perry Jarrett, and
from all accounts did an admirable
job.

A week after the Senate Agriculture
Committee came to Georgia at the in
sistence of Senator Walter George,
farm leaders already are looking to
the next session of Congress to open
th gap between farm income and
farm costs.
Georgians were encouraged after
the hearings because:
1. Senator Ellender (La.) committee
chairman, seemed greatly impressed
by the story told by the Georgians at
the Macon hearing and commented
that Georgia is the only state where
there has been disclosed complete uni
ty on farm program changes.
2. Georgia's Senator George, a power
in the Senate, expressed confidence
that the Congress will reverse the
present administration’s farm policies
which continue to whittle at farm
profits when prosperity is found in
every other industry.
The hearing, marking the first time
this committee had been to Georgia,
attracted nationwide attention to Ma
con and the state. Several hundred
attended the all-day sessions, and
heard a parade of witnesses talk to
eight U, S. Senators, including Geor
gia’s Russell and George, and the Con
gressional delegation in the National
House of Representatives. Former Con
gressman Steve Pace, long-time leader
in House Agriculture matters, helped
stage the hearing and himself testi
fled. Other witnesses were: H. L. Win
gate, president of the Georgia Farm
Bureau; W. M. Downs, Macon; George
M. Bazemore, Waycross; M. M. Kim
