Department of Archives General Library University of Georgia Athens, Georgia The Taylor County News and The Butler Herald VOLUME 87—NUMBER 28 BUTLER. GEORGIA FRIDAY. APRIL 19 1963 PRICE: 10c PER COPY Georgia sales of E and H. Savings Bonds during March exceed the sales of 1962 by $60,000. For three months sales are up $675,000 or 5.3% compared with $12.6 million last year during the time. Nationally, sales for the first quarter were $1,347 million compared to $1,212 million in 1962. Gross redemptions are considerably less than sales and are running well below last year. The value of E and H Bonds outstanding passed $46 billion for the first time. Possibly this is partially due to the fact that for the first time, income tax refunds could be taken in savings bonds this year. One county in the state had reached 81.5% of its goal for the year by the end of March, Taylor had reached 13.6% of the goal set. * * * A telegram from Senators Russell and Talmadge late Tuesday said “advised today by Department of Health, Educa tion and Welfare, of financial assistance under Public Law 874 (Federally affected areas) to Taylor County Board of Ed ucation, Butler, Georgia.
