The Butler-Taylor County
Rescue Unit was called Sat
urday at 11 p.m. to assist the
Upson County Rescue Unit in
a search for two missing per
sons. Their boat and motor had
been found in the Flint River
on the northwest side of Up
son County. The boat was cap
sized and lodged against a log.
Dragging operations were be
gun and lasted all day Sunday
with no luck. The tired squad
members were not asked tore-
join the search Monday. But
there was to be no rest The
Taylor County Sheriff, Char
les Wright, called out some of
the members to again go to
Flint River, this time below
Reynolds.
A rifle and sleeping bag had
been found near the railroad
trestle north of the river
bridge on Hwy. 96 and it was
feared that someone was lost
or injured in that area. Ar
riving, the squad members and
officers found a boat, gas can,
clothes, blanket and fishing e-
quipment.

search was made, it was de
cided that no one needed help
and that the boat and other
equipment had been deserted
after developing motor trouble.
Further developments on the
case will be printed as they be
come available.

Guidance Program
Reworked At
Taylor County
The Guidance Program at
Taylor County High School is
designed to help the student
prepare himself to meet the
challenges he will meet after
graduation. The Guidance De

thing which might interfere
with the students school life,

his interests and aptitudes.
