pita Is filled to capacity and
many more cases at home kept
all of the doctors working a-
round the clock. The Taylor
County High School closed at
2:30 p.m., Monday for the re
mainder of the week with 113
students absent and several
teachers. The Reynolds School,
R.L. McDougald High and W.E.
Parker School also reported
high percentages of absentees
and closed for the remainder
of the week also.
The Taylor County Health
Department would not class the
current number of cases as an
epidemic but said that possibly
the school closing would slow
the spread and prevent the di
sease reaching epidemic stage.
However almost all businesses
have been hit by the disease.
While the flu can make the
victims feel miserable for the
time the illness lasts, it does
not seem to last as long as
the types of influenza in re
cent years, it was reported
Tuesday.
While the citizens were for
ced to stay home because of
illness the weather outside re
mained wet, cold and made for
miserable conditions. Weather
reports were watched closely
as some wondered if Taylor was
in for another ice story as the
now famous “New Years Ice”
a few years ago. However by
Wednesday night, predictions
were for an end in the rain
and better weather the remain
der of the week.

Cotton Growers
Approve Ouotas
According topreliminary re
turns, growers of upland cotton
have approved marketing quo
tas for the 1968 crop by a
95.3 percent favorable vote,
Rufus Adams, Chairman,
Georgia Agricultural Stabili
zation and Conservation State
Committee, said today. The
growers’ referendum was held
by mail throughout cotton-
producing areas during the
period Dec. 4-8. Returns
show a total vote of 276,
330, of which 263,399 voted
for quotas, and 12,9341 voted
against.
Growers of extra long staple
(ELS) cotton approved 1968-
crop marketing quotas by an
87.5 percent favorable vote.
Of the 2,186 votes cast, 1,912
were for quotas and 274 were
against.
Since more than the neces
sary two-thirds of the growers
voting approved quotas on
both kinds of cotton, market
ing quotas will continue in
effect for the 1968 crops.
Acreage diversion and price-
support payments, as well as
loans, will be available to
growers who participate in
the 1968 upland cotton pro
gram. Price-support loans will
be available to growers of
ELC cotton who keep within the
farm’s effective acreage allot
ment. Marketing quota penal
ties will apply to any “excess”
cotton (produced on acres in ex
cess of farm allotments). For
upland cotton, the penalty will
be 50 percent of the cotton
parity price as of June 15,
1968. For ELS cotton, the
penalty will be either 50
percent of the parity price as
of June 15, 1968, or 50 percent
of the support price for that
kind of cotton, whichever is
higher.
In Georgia, 95, 6 percent
of the 30,315 growers voting
approved quotas for the 1968-
crop upland cotton. For ELS
cotton 80 percent of the total
5 voting approved the quotas.

Baptist Group
Hears Brinkley
Representative Jack Brink-
ley was the guest speaker at
the Brotherhood meeting of the
Butler Baptist Church last
Monday night. Introduced by
Brotherhood President Leo
Anglin, Mr. Brinkley told the
group a little about the 90th
Congress, ending on a note of
hope as he told of the value
of our youth in America and
how the nation depends on its
youth.
He said there are “ordinary
people in Congress with extra
ordinary problems.” For the
most of them, he expressed the
opinion that they are dedicated
people trying to get the job
done and that the lights burn
late at night many times gett
ing it done for the people back
home.
He admitted that sometimes
the members of Congress do
make an error when they vote
but that they are willing and
ready to try to correct their
errors in future votes. One of
their duties as Mr. Brinkley
sees it is to correct errors of
past lawmakers and repeal laws
if they are not for the good of
the whole.
The 90th Congress, 1st Ses
sion was long, one of the long
est in history in fact and had
more roll calls than any other
in history. However some good
was accomplished.
In disucssing the bills that
he was most interested in dur
ing the session, he stated that
he voted for the Education Bill
because even there might have
been some bad in it, we need
to educate all of the children
and help them to be prepared
to make a living. He also was
in favor of the Science and
Astronautics Bill because we
need to be a front runner in
the race for space.
He supported the Military and
Civil Service Pay Bill so that
we may attract more qualified
people to the jobs but he did
not support the Foreign Aid
Bill becuase we would be tax-
Funeral Held For
Della V. Childree
Mrs. Della V. Childree of
Macon died Sunday at her home
at the age of 76. Born in Tay

ing our people then to provide
war materials for warring na
tions. He also voted against
the OEO Bill because even
though the objectives are good,
there is too much waste in the
bill nationally for him to sup
port it.
Expressing the hope that the
crisis in Viet Nam would soon
come to an end, he said that
we need to support our troops
there and not let the enemy
defeat us there.
Problems at home such as
the crime spread, the threat of
massive civil disobedience, and
other acts on the home front
are disturbing but we need to
“punish the bell cow” to end
some of these threats. If we
punish the leaders, the lack of
respect for law and order will
cease soon.
Ending on his note of hope
for the youth, he said that
we have a good foundation on
which to build and the best
crop we have is our youth. If
we will train them, we shall
see America continue to be
the leader in the future.
