Farm Show
Tickets Free
“To market, to market, to
buy a fat pig” or a diamond
from Tiffany’s, the farm wife
of tomorrow may be making
the trip in a quick, quiet and
most economical electric car.
The Georgia Farm Electri
fication Council will feature
a special showing of a new
electric car, the Mars II, at
this year’s Southern Farm
Show, scheduled for Oct. 26-
28 in the Convention Hall of
the new Atlanta Civic Center at
395 Piedmont Ave., N.E.
Both the Ga. Power Co. and
Flint Electric Membership
Corp. are members of the Ga.
Farm Elec. Council. Free tick
ets to the Farm Show are avail
able at the office of either.
The Mars II, a converted
five-passenger Renault R-10, is
being produced by Electric Fuel
Propulsion, Inc., of Ferndale,
Mich. The car is powered
by a 30-kilowatt lead-cobalt
battery. A 12-volt accessory
battery operates the magnetic
control panel, lights, radio,
heater and horn.
When fully charged, the car
has a range of 70 to 120 miles,
depending upon speed, number
of stops, acceleration and ter
rain. It can be recharged on
a high-rate charger in about
90 minutes. The battery will
take some 800 full charges be
fore replacement. This is the
equivalent of an operating life
of 56,000 to 96,000 miles, or
about the life of an average
car.
The manufacturer estimates
the operating cost at just un
der two cents a mile for a
350-mile trip, much less than
standard gasoline - powered
cars. This cost includes bat
tery depreciation.
Besides eliminating a great
deal of air pollution, electric
cars are expected to require
fewer repairs because of fewer
moving parts. In addition, there
would be no oil to change,
no anti-freeze and no tune-ups.
The new automobiles should
reduce street noise considera
bly. There will be no grinding
gears or backfiring engines,
just a small whir as they glide
down street or road.

Revival Services
NEW CAR -- Taylor County Motor Company owner R. L.
Swearingen presented the new car for driver education to
Taylor County High School.
DRIVER EDUCATION STUDENTS
by Rev. Fred J. Cobbs, pastor,
Butler Church of the Naza-
rene
The revival fire has not
been burning as brightly as
God would like. It seems
that through negligence on our
part, that the fires burn low.
Christians fail to stir up the
gift that is in them. We see
the church as a refrigerator
to preserve perishable piety
and not an incubator in which
to hatch new converts. But
ler Church of the Nazarene has
already begun to pay for
Revival. The Revival will
not come through the preacher,
Fred J. Cobbs. It willnotcome
through any special music, or
any set amount of offering
given. Revival has always come
by prayer.
Revival has been de
scribed by Dr. Jenkyn, as
the spring of Religion. “It
is the season when young
converts burst into existance
and beautiful activity. The
Church resumes her toil and
labor with freshness and
energy. The air all around
is balmy, and diffusing the
sweetest odors. The whole
landscape teems with living
promises of abundant harvest
of righteousness and peace.
It is the jubilee of holiness.
A general warmth pervades
and refreshes the whole
church. Where the dead leaves
of winter still linger, the
primrose and the daisy spring
up in modest loveliness. Trees
long barren put forth buds of
beauty and power. Forms of
beauty bloom on every side
of the mountain. If the spirit
that renews the face of the
earth is a spirit of beauty,
How great is His beauty when
acting out His perfections in
revivals of religion.”
Revival services will be held
nightly at 7:30. If you are
a sinner, God can reach down
and save you. If you are back
slidden, God will restore
the joy you once had. If you
are an unsanctified Christian,
God will sanctify you wholly
and fill you with the Holy Spirit.
If you sanctified, God can stir
you and refresh your heart.
Help us pray for this
revival. Attend the ser
vices of this meeting and
see your prayers answered.
Services begin Sunday, Oct.
29 and continue through Nov.
5. In an artifical colony of
ants prepared for ex
perimentation the ants be
came lazy for lack of the pro
per moisture. When sprayed
with water, the ants became
just to the loss of six out
standing players from the 1966-
67 team which posted a 25-10
record. Graduating members
were Buddy Perkins, Mark Har
ris, William Robinson, Benny
Coward, Gerald Parker and
Martin Windham.
Coach Harris stated that he
thought the Viking defense would
be the stronger part of the
game early in the season ex
plaining that timing and cor
rect execution of plays come
only with practice and playing
experience. The boys are look
ing forward to the season and
hope you will support them as
you have in the past.
The “B” team has been work
ing hard this year with the
determination of beating last
season’s record of 13-3. The
average height of the team
members is 6 ft and seven of
these were veterans of last
year.
The team will depend on the
fine shooting and rebounding of
Reggie Singleton, David Red
dish, Timothy Kirksey, Mel
Brown, David McCrary, Stev
en Taunton, Joel Wainwright
and Allen Smith. Good ball han
dling will be of great neces
sity.
Harold Roberson, 6’2”, Ri
cky Bone 6’1”, Danny Kennon
6’0” and Charles Spillers 6’0”
will be a great help on the
boards. Chuck Wright and Mit
chell Williams will help with
the good defense and rebound
ing.
These boys can hardly wait
for the season to start. They
want to put into use all the
accomplishments that are the
result of the hard work done
this fall.

McDougald PTA
Off To A Good
Start For Year
One of the ultimate goals
of our P. T. A. is to pro
vide a parent-teacher relation-
shop that is second to none in
the world. The P. T. A.
organization offers a fine op
portunity for parents to have
a better understanding of the
school and its curriculum.
The parents’ attendance and
participation help to determine
whether or not the parents
are interested in their children.
On Wednesday, Oct. 17, the R.
L. McDougald Elementary and
High School P. T. A. witnessed
one of the largest attendance
in the history of the school.
This was a tribute to the county
at large because it proved that
the parents were concerned
enough to go the extra mile
to help their school achieve
greater heights.
A very interesting and in
formative program, which con
sisted of mostly parents,
was prepared for this ocas-
sion. Participants on the pro
gram were the president, Mrs.
B. McCrary, Mrs. N. Pearline
Hicks, Mrs. Aaron Dob
bins, Mr. R. Green, Mrs. N.
Murray, Mrs. N. Holston,
Mr. T. J. Rowe, Mrs. V.
Black, Mr. J. E. Bentley Sr.,
Miss Vontella Huffman, Mr.
A. O’Bryant and Mrs. C. A.
Hicks.
The president of theP.T.A.
and the school family would like
to salute these persons and
all other persons who helped td
make this program a success.
Many compliments werd
given relative to the orga
nization and quality of in
struction being rendered for
the students at the R. L. Mc
Dougald Elementary and High
School.
