Taylor Co. Students Off To College Rumors still fly fast and furious around our county at times, sometimes unfounded, sometimes with a reason be hind them. We urge once again, let the people know what you say. Don’t criticize until you have given those responsible an op portunity to defend themselves. A one sided fight is never fair, especially when one side doesn’t even know what is going on. Write a letter to the editor, sign you name and we will print it. Then perhaps others will get the idea you are trying to put forth. If you have comments on the paper, we are always happy to get them. If it’s criticism, we will print it too. You don't have to be awriter. You don’t have to have a great deal of time. Merely put your thoughts on paper and sign your name. That is all that is neces sary. County School Superintendent W. H. Elliston has written a letter this week explaining some of the statements in the letter last week from Harold Brown. I think every parent and any interested citizen will be in terested in reading the explana tion of the alloting of teachers to schools. It takes letters such as this to clear up any unfounded ru mors that might be going a- round. The paper staff continues to be vitally interested in the school problems in our county. After discussing the situation with several citizens of both towns, it seems that both schools have the same needs, more teachers, more money to provide better facilities for learning. It is only through the co operation of the people in both areas that we can get these things. We must work together and present a united front if we hope to obtain the best for our children. I am continuing to advocate the study group made up of citizens from both P. T. A. groups - citizens who will get together with open minds and discuss a solution to the problesm. We do not need radicals in this group. There seems to be some stigma attached to the word consolidation. Why are we afraid to even talk about it? Some authorities from the State Board of Education seem to think it is the solution. Why are we sitting by and saying if we only close our eyes and not think about it, it will go away. We are only running away from reality. Problems exist just as surely as the 1000 students exist. What are we as adults going to do? They are our future. Will we neglect them?

Schultze Talks ToKiwanians Maes schultze, t-iome Fin ance Agency of Atlanta, spoke on Community Improvement Programs in this area. Through these programs, the value of property can be increased, ex penses can be cut and the town can be made more attractive so that industry may be enticed into the area. With a 20 year improvement plan, cities can know where they are going. They can sponsor clean up drives, building material suppliers can make it easy for the citizens to im prove and the ministers can lead the people toward improvement. A letter of thanks was read from Elmo Waller for the gift presented him before leaving last week. Guests of the week included Chuck Bishop, Paul Nunn, Har old Helms, I. C. Eubanks, and Key Clubbers Hugh O’Neal and Reid Walton. CORRECTION An error in the write up of the meeting of the Upatoi As sociation at the Mt. NeboChurch has been brought to our at tention.

Indentify the fol lowing Taylor County resident and again go to GODDARD’S RED AND WHITE SUPER MARKET for your gift. I was born in Marion County but came to Taylor County to live many years ago. In fact my high school graduation oc curred 25 years ago this past spring. While in college, I was chosen best all around of my sex for two straight years. My companion makes a part of our living by the light of the moon. We are the proud parents of one child. I am always happiest when in the presence of young people and 1 have been in the profes sion I’m in for 22 years. This picture was made in the Homemaking Department of Butler High School as one group of girls was involved in a face lifting project in the Depart ment. Housekeeping is a major task of today’s homemaker and knowing the best way of do ing each job is included in the homemaking curriculum. Learning by doing is now rec ognized as the one best method of learning and in this picture the girls are learning the most efficient way of washing window, cleaning Venetian blinds and painting furniture. Other groups are involved in making draperies for the teacher’s lounge, draperies and slip covers for the department living room and refinishing sewing machines. BYRD STILL UNDECIDED The daily papers last Friday announced that Taylor County’s Garland T. Byrd wasbeingcon- sidered as an Independent candiate for Lieutenant Gov ernor to succeed himself.

This was the largest vote ever re corded in a Reynolds city elec tion as far as we could learn. Reynolds is going forward rapidly and the people realize the importance of getting out and voting for the ones who are to lead them in the city govern ment. The votes are counted and the people have spoken. Let us now forget any bitter ness in our hearts and get be hind the city council and give them support needed to lead the city on to bigger things. The city has recently ac quired a new garbage truck. Boy Scouts have sold garbage cans to help the citizens to have covered standard size contain ers for helping to speed up the garbage work. Now the ground has been broken and the clearing work is almost completed for the new government sponsored housing project for both white and colored. The white is on the Fort Valley Hwy. while the colored is located on the Roberta Hwy.

His complete statement to the press was: Statement to Press - Thurs day, September 20, 1962 It would be inappropriate for me to make any kind of general statement at this time. But as a point of personal privilege may I express to the people of Georgia my deep apprecia tion for their efforts and for their signatures which appear on the petition. This is the first opportunity I have had to speak publically to express my thanks for the warmth and the kindnesses and the good wishes of my fellow Georgians during my illness and during my recovery. A man would not be human if he did not recognize, if he did not acknowledge his debt to these people. You have been a source of strength and I will be forever grateful to you. I have no further statement to make at this time but in fairness to the people who have signed these petitions and the people who have worked to se cure them I will say to you just as you have made your de cision, so I have to make mine, and my only hope is that I can make my decision with the same careful and responsible attitude that you have made yours and with the same dedication to our state. I have a great love for Georgia and a great desire as a citizen to serve: and this I think is our common bond. Again, let me thank you for this expression of your con cern for Georgia and your confidence in me.
