Taylor Mill
Woman's Club
Cook-out Held
By Rubye Poole
The Taylor Mill Woman’s
Club nad a hamburger cook-
out in the park Monday night,
Sept. 18, with their families
and the Men’s Club and their
families as guests.
Mrs. W. T. Roberson, Mrs.
Ralph Walker and Mrs. Lo-
quita Buchert did the cooking,
even if they did have to have
a little help to get the fire
started.
Hamburgers with all the
trimming, chili, potato chips,
pickles, cookies and tea made
up the menu. About 65 people
were present to enjoy this oc
casion.
After everyone had finished
supper, Mrs. Charnie Pearl
Swafford, past president of the
Woman’s Club, called Mr. Er
nest Parker to the center and
read the following poem to him
and then presented him with a
piece of luggage. Mr. Parker
was the bus driver for us on
our trip last year.

Animals
BY WILLIE PAYNE
There are several different
species of animals that roam
America’s roads. I will tell
you about some of them.
Old Heap - The scientific
name for the old heap is canis
jalopyous. It is an old look
ing animal and is becoming ex
tinct. It is usually observed
in service stations and one the
shoulder of the road. Often it
is smoking and backfiring.
Never get behind one because
they are of the slower species.
Road Weaver - The scienti
fic name is canis drunkardous.
It has the strange characteris
tic of going from one side of
the road to the other. It never
moves out of the way of other
animals. It just goes back and
forth as if it were weaving
the road. It is best observed
right after New Year’s
Eve, Christmas, July 4 and
other holidays.
The Billboard Backer - The
scientific name is canis poli-
ceous. This animal is a strange
species. When it sees an ani
mal going very fast, a red
light on its head lights up and
it utters a cry which is often
called a siren. Then it goes
behind the fast animal until
they both go over to the side
of the road. It is best
observed behind billboards.
Vacationist - The scientific
name is canis touristous. This
is a migrating species that
goesl all over the country. It
goes slow and fast, It is usually
seen more in the summer going
to the mountains or to the sea
shore, During migration
time they are one of the most
common species on the road.
Road Runner - The scientific
name is canis speed-demonous.
It is usually one of the faster
species. It is one of the ani
mals that the billboard backer
chases. It is observed almost
anytime or at any place,

Never once did he give a

Cooperatives-
a Good
Way to
Get
Things
Done
Cooperation is good
for getting footballs
out of trees. Also, to
do many other use
ful things.
More than 60 million Americans share ownership in co
operatives. City, town, and rural people use co-ops to
get housing, food, health care, credit, insurance, drugs
and many other products. We use cooperatives to get
electricity, and telephone service in many rural areas
Farmers use co-ops to get feed, fertilizer, chemicals . .
and to sell their crops and livestock. All of this coopera
tive business totals more than $20 billion dollars a year
And many businessmen use cooperatives to serve their
special needs.
The distinctive mark of a cooperative is that it serves
the people who own it. It's locally owned. Operated not
for profit, but for service. Each Member, through h
vote, has a voice in the election of our Directors, who
set the policy under which the business is operated.
It's our job to provide our Members with the best pos
sible electric service at the lowest possible cost.
