) The Taylor County News 7 nnA TUi D .. 1 U IJ / and The But(er Herald BUTLER, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4 1967 PRICE: 10c PER COPY I’m getting my beat up buggy ready to travel. Next Friday morning I’m going to start my tour of the participating mer chants in the biggest pre- Thanksgiving sale Taylor Coun ty has ever known. I want to register in every participating merchants store in the county. With all of these people work ing together and giving you bar gains it will be a good week end to get a lot of that Christ mas shopping done. Remember when you can buy from a Hometown merchant the same thing you’d buy in an other town, you help Taylor County grow. When Taylor County prospers, you as a citi zen prosper. It’s just the cycle of economy. Yes, by all means make your plans to visit all of the partici pating merchants, see what they’re offering and register for the free prizes. Then mark your calendar so you won’t forget to be present on Nov. 23 at the Butler Gym to see what babies are select ed as the Little Miss and Little Master Taylor County of 1962. You will also see who wins the free prizes given away by the merchants. However, you do not have to be present to win. Go by and regsiter on Nov. 15, 16 and 17. Then come if you can, if not check the window of the stores for the names of the prize winners. * * * * Did you know Taylor County lost a new citizen and his fam ily because of the school pro blems? Not just any citizen but a well trained and qualified engineer. This man liked the area but felt that his children must have the very best educa tion they could possibly get and did not think that the Taylor County Schools offered the best. The Butler School has just un der gone a study by a staff of well qualified people in the field of education which is necessary to remain on the accredited list of Southern Association of Sec ondary Schools and Colleges. I attended the public meeting on Tuesday afternoon to hear the recommendations of this group. It was interesting and certainly would have told every citizen of this county things he did not know about the school. Each member of the group reported on some phase of the school after discussing the phi losophy, objectives and goals. This report will be compiled and published for the people of the county. The paper will publish the recommendations when they become available. The notes I took only brought • to my mind the desperate need we have for occupations for our boys and girls who want to stay home and the need for good schools in order to bring in dustry into the county. It seems like a complete circle and it is I One depends on the other. * * * * The display in the window of Mrs. Byrd’s Cleaners is just another way of helping the community. The two F. H. A. Clubs in the county work con stantly to promote the welfare of the people in this area. * * * * Supt. of Schools Herman El- liston suffered painful injuries last week when his car collided with atractorcrossingtheroad. ;Although he was injured he« is able to be in his office and at tending to his duties. * * • j You will note the front page picture of two local men pro moted in the Georgia National puard in the paper today. We are very fortunate in having such group of men in our com munity. Major Marshall will continue to live in our county although he will have a posi tion in Columbus.
