(p AMERICAN NEWSPAPER REPRESENTATIVES* MfOg^_ BUDDY’S BYLINES 1 juries l. ounm The Georgia gubernatorial election is overl It was a long drawn-out one, therefore most people rejoice in its ending. Never in my years of politics have I seen an election quite like it. Others that remember elections many years ago thorough ly agree. There was mud-slinging from the beginning my both major candidates and their supporters. Itwasadirty, filthy race, and one that no Georgian should be proud to relate. Every issue was cover ed and even more Actually, Georgians never learned the true facts about the two candidates. Who was really the best qualified, and which one could really govern our state best in the four years ahead? No, this election Georgians did not have an opportunity to learn the candi date’s qualifications. The many untruths mixed with the few4acts detracted people from learning the qualifications of the candidates. Let’s go back and see what Georgians have been told since this hot campaign began several months ago. Did Mills B. Lane fi nance Carl Sanders' campaign? Was the NAACP and the entire negroid race supporting Sanders? Did Marvin Griffin and Peter Zack Geer pay Carl Sanders to run for governor when Garland Byrd was still in the running? Did Carl Sanders pay Garland Byrd to leave the race and did Byrd really suffer a heart attack? Did the Ku Klux Klan support Marvin Griffin? Was Marvin Griffin and his friends responsible for the racial disturbances in the state? Would Griffin's wife divorce him when the election was over? Other than state headlines what was going on in our county of Taylor. Sanders’ supporters told that Garland Byrd was to vote Sanders, and on the other hand, Griffins’s supporters told that Byrd was pulling for Griffin. Sanders' supporters said Herman Talmadge was to cast his vote for Sanders, Griffin supporters said Griffin would get his vote. There was other strong talk from both sides by local people. What was so disheartening was that this ugly talk was about our own local people and their welfare. Of all of these strong statements, we in Taylor County do know that.Garland Byrd did suffer a heart attack, and that he did remain neutral in the governor’s election. Yes, it was a bad sumer in the state of Georgia. The gover nor’s election of 1962 combined with the severe racial problems lowered the standards of our state. At the time this article goes to press 1 will not know who is the next governor of Georgia. There would have to be mixed emotions in the minds of many Georgians as they enter the polls on Election Day. They know not what to believe because they have heard too much, What is believed will determine the next gover nor Georgia. It is my hope that the Georgia Governor’s Election of 1962 will never reach our history books. 1 believe our children are too honest and decent to be remined of the evilly conducted campaign of 1962.

BREWER, Owner Rupert Georgia Board of Edacatioa Continued from page 1 the Coach and the Principal are also teaching classes. Mrs. Avera chose this time to tell Mr. Marchman the pa rents appreciate his efforts and the efforts of all the teachers in trying to do the best job possible in the circumstances. Mr. Marchman continued by saying “although there are a number of individual cases where the school is lacking, since this school year is un derway we should concentrate on something for next year when the situation will be even more critical.” Directly asked what he thought should be done about the situation, Mr. Marchman replied he thought this a ques tion the Board or Mr. Elliston should answer but he feels that if the county continues to oper ate two white schools each one will need 3 more teachers next year to provide even a mini mum program. At this point Mr. C. E. What ley, Board Member from Reyn olds District, said there had been no complaints about the Reynolds school. Also, that in order to hire extra teachers 'the county was going to have to have more money. The best way to do this to re-evalu ate our property for tax pur poses. Several of the Board Members agreed it was their understanding the County Com missioners had asked for bids to have this re-evaluation done but all the bids received to date had been too high. Mr. Marchman went on to say that a school should not be judged by the quality of the graduates it produces. The col lege-material student will get by but the hundreds of students will not or cannot go to college are suffering for want of an adequate high school education. Possibly the new trade school in Thomaston will be a relief in this respect. Giving his considered opinion as a trained, professional edu cator Mr. Marchman stated that the people of Taylor County have two choices if they wish to correct the present educa tional problem, i. e., (1) Either have a property re-evaluation to raise taxes in order to provide the money for 5 or 6 extra teachers or (2) Realistically face the merits of combining the two existing white schools. After assuring the delegation Butler High Scholl is still on the accredited list, Mr. March- man excused himself. Mr. Elliston then rose to say that he realized the county need ed extra teachers more than anything else. However, only so much money is allowed for school purposes and this has to go for many more things than teacher’s salaries alone. As a matter of fact, Taylor County has not paid 100% of any teacher’s salary for last two school terms. At present the State of Georgia supplies a teacher’s pay based on an al lotment of one teacher for each 21 students in high school and eac h 26 students in elementary school. Mr. Elliston distributed mi meographed sheets to the de legation shwoing the allotment of 42 teachers to the two white schools of Butler and Reynolds for the year, 1961-62. Mr. Harold Gates, Board Member from Potterville Dis trict, took the floor to speak for the Board. “They all realize something has to be done to get more money. The Board has all the state or anyone^ else will allow them and they do not have enough to provide any more teachers at the pre sent time." The delegation then wanted to present a petition signed by all the mothers and fathers along a certain school bus route asking that the route not be changed. However, the petition had not been given to the Board Member who was to present it. Also, the delegation went on record as expressing concern because the Board had lowered the age limit for admittingchild- ren to the First Grade thereby working an addition hardship on over - worked teachers. We were told the County Board took this action because the State Board of Education did so. The delegation did not get to present all their complaints because of the lateness of the hour. However, we most cer tainly appreciate the courtesy extended by our Board of Edu cation and County School Super intendent in listening to us. And to them and Mr. March- man and Mr. Huling and all the teachers of Butler High and Ele mentary School for your efforts in behalf of our children, a big “THANK YOU". 4 ciamt t£ ONE OF MAN'S MOST MICIOUJ THROUGHOUT NISTOtY HAS FI&UXEOPROMINtNTlYINTMe Sff 35 SYMBOLISM Of ttUGION, WSU--0&N6 AND MAGIC - THE EYE ^ OF BUDDHA THE SYMBOL OF SUP«MEI<MOM«jEOSe DIVINE BENEVOLENCE AS PICTURED ON THE TOWER OF THU PAGOOX IN NEPAL.

THE PTE OF THIS EGYPTIAN FALCON- HEADED GOD WAS REPUTED TO MEGUARD HEALTH AND PROTECT VISION •• IT AISO WARDED OIF THE ‘EVIL EYE - . by Vernon R. Reddish County Agent RYE IN ROTATION WITH PEANUTS Priliminary research and grower experience indicates Rye may help to reduce certain diseases of peanuts, thereby improving yield and quality. Peanut growers, particularly those planting peanuts on the same land more often than one year out of three, should con sider using more Rye for graz ing preceding peanuts on land that can ,be grazed. Rye vari eties such as Elbon, Explorer, Florida Black, GatorandWrens Abruzsi that will produce good forage yields in the Georgia peanut belt are recommended. ' Land preparation for Rye preceding peanuts should be given Special consideration. If Rye land is prepared by turning in the fall, undecomposed crop residue may be turned back to the soil surface the following spring. This practice will pro vide a source of food for cer tain soil orgainsms and may in crease the incidence of “White Mold" in the following peanut crop. Therefore, it is recom mended that land preparation for Rye preceding peanuts be accomplished by shallow dis- kings rather than by turning with a bottom plow. Peanut yield and quality im provement following Rye is not generally sufficient to cover the cost of planting, fertilizing and seeding the Rye. There fore, Rye preceding peanuts should be utilized by grazing if possible. A substantial amount of Rye growth may accumulate late in the grazing season. Where this is the case, it is recom mended that the excess growth be mowed at least one week prior to preparing the land for peanuts. Turning under large amounts of green, succulent crop residue causes a rapid release of certain organic by products which may be toxic or cause damage to the peanut root system. Allow at least 3 to 4 weeks after turning un der Rye before planting pea nuts. are found dead at the time of the first visit to the farm by the Department’s representa tive shall not exceed one-half (1/2) of the commercial value of such hogs.

Cooper Home Demonstration Agent Stay stitching is the answer to the problem of garments stretching out of shape from all the handling it gets while sew ing. It is a machine stitching used on any place where the garment is not cut on the straight as the neckline, the armholes, the hip line on a straight skirt and the waistline. When stay stitching stitch in the direction your fabric stretches least. This means to stitch a neckline from shoul der to the center of the neck, then from the other shoulder to the center of the neck. In the skirt you stitch from the hem line to the waist. Stay stitch the single layers of the garment before you put in darts about 1/4 inch into the seam allowance from the seam line. It should be done with from 10 to 12 stitches per inch. Stay stitching does not finish the seams, that's not its pur pose. Another helpful kind of stitch ing sometimes confused with stay stitching is under stitching. Under stitching holds facings so that tljey roll to the under side of the garment. It is used on neck facings, armhole facings, collar, etc. After stitching facing to gar ment and seams are graded and clipped, then turn seam to facing, stitch the seam al lowance and the facing together, about 1/16 of an inch from the seam. When stitching, stitch with the facing side up, being careful not to catch the garment. TAYLOR COUNTY GOG CHOLERA COMMITTEE TO PREPARE FOR ERADICATION A committee has been formed to help promote the Hog Chol era Eradication Program in Taylor County. In order for Faylor County to take part in the State and Federal Program, at least 60% of the hogs must be vaccinated against hog chol era. After this has been com pleted and reported, any out break which occurs and is di agnosed as hog cholera by as signed veterinarians, then the next step will be the Indemnity Payment. As a condition for the pay ment of indemnity in herds in counties designated as eradica tion areas, and after receipt of the notice as previously re quired and an official dagnosis of cholera, idemnity will be paid for all hogs which die or which are destroyed because of being infected with, or exposed to, the desease; provided, however, that indemnity for hogs which The top of a collar should roll under about 1/16 to 1/8 inch. This completely hides the seam irom view and makes the collar lie better. BY M. P. DEAN Thomas and Garland Byrd, cooperators with OcmulgeeSoil Conservation District, have completed an irrigation pond dam or their farm in Crowell Community. Cost sharing through local A C P Program was received on this project. Robert Wilson has completed 8155 ft. of terraces and one waterway. Assistance was also received trough local ACP Pro gram on this. Practically all terraces were parallel and land leveler was used in land pre paration and cutting of water way. Soil Conservation plans have been completed with the fol lowing farmers this year: New ton C., Z. R. McCorkle, H. C. Barnes, B. L. Hobbs, H. W. Hobbs, Lloyd and Jim Hobbs, Clopers Montgomery, H. B. Theus, Albert Guinn, W. T. Rustin, B. E. Avera, Grady Trussell, Ernest Joiner, Wil lard Brunson, W. G. Hill, C. J. Wright, Jarrell Bros., O. L. Scott, Leonard Windham, G. A. Trussell, R. L. Burns, Dennis Sullivan, Andrew Taylor, J. W. Miller, Jack Taunton, Greene Co. and G. A. Trussell. Prac tically all the above farmers will be carring out some phase of conservation in accordance with their conservation plans this year. H. W. Sasser and M, J. Marchman, principals of Rey nolds and Butler High Schools announce that their schools will againg participate in the Soil Conservation District essay contest. The Title; “Soil Con servation Districts, A Story of Service, Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.” Contests are sponsored by the Georgia Bank ers Association with the Ga. Association of Soil Conserva tion Supervisors. The Citizens State Bank of Butler and Rey nolds have also assisted each year in this contest. PUT UNUSED DOORS TO GOOD USE A doorway that is seldom, if ever, used can easily be made into book storage, suggests Miss Ava Rodgers, Extension home furnishings and art specialist. Most doorways are just about the right dept for a book. It is already recessed, and needs only the addition of shelves. To make it a center of interest in the room, paint the back an accent color or use an unusual paper on it, she suggests. the most precious eyes ■■ eye EXAMINATION EtCKY TWO YEARS IS THE BEST MEANS OF PROTECTING YOUR PRICflESS EYESIGHT FOR A FREE PAMPHLET ON EYE HEALTH, WRITE ID THE NATIONAL SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION Of BLINDNESS, DEPT MS, BOX 426, NEW YORK W,N.V Cemetery Cleaning It is now time for the fall cleaning of Bethel Primitive Baptist Church cemetery. Any one desiring to help with this worthy cause is either request ed to go and clean your lot, carry your tools or send do nation to Mrs. W. A. Payne or Mrs. H. E. Childres. Mr. H. A. Sealy, Cha: of the Taylor ASC CountyCom- mittee, calls attention to the fact that the time for request ing ACP cost-shares for prac tices to be carried out this fall expires next Monday, Sep tember 17. The Committee re opened the program for receiv ing requests during the period August 15 - September 15 but since the expiration date is on Saturday requests may be filed through Monday. The popular practices that are carried out in the fall are seeding small grains and legumes, liming farmland, and planting forest trees. Fall is also a good time to construct terraces and farm pond dams. The cost-share rate on these practices is based on fifty per cent of the average cost of the seed, fertilizer, and lime. Lime may be considered a component and a legume in the small grain will qualify the lime. Mr. Sealy states that the purpose of the Agricultural conservation Program is to en courage the installation of needed conservation practices. The persent ACP allocation is insufficient to allow approval on all extents requested, but the Committee will make every effort to approve extents on an equitable basis. Requests filed after Sep tember 17 can be considered if funds remain in the ACP al location for the county. Peach Theatre FORT VALLEY, GA.
