Point System to regulate the
chronic offenders. And with
that they installed the Implied
Consent law to deal with
drinking drivers. These two
pieces of legislation should
improve highway conditions.
For the thousands of
Georgians who are concerned
about having one safe trip after
another, there is no guarantee.
However, if each driver who is
concerned will take every step
at his command to improve his
own driving skills, he is most
certainly pursuing a positive
way of life.

The Kitchen for "cool-cooks"
— it's all-electric!
The next best thing to having someone do the cook
ing for you is to do it the flameless electric wayl
Even when you're using the broiler or oven, electric
cooking keeps the kitchen and you up to 12 degrees
cooler.
And good cook's prefer electric cooking, because
it lets them concentrate on the creative side of food
preparation.
Wonderful electric appliances help, too, to make
cooking a pleasure.
And homes in rural areas can be as modern as
those of city neighbors, with abundant, low-cost elec
tric power available . . . power for farming, for rural
industry, comfortable living . . . that's modern Rural
Electrification!

Visit Venice At
Annual
The theme of the
Junior-Senior at Taylor County
High School for 1968 was
Romance in Venice. The
National Guard Armory in
Reynolds was transformed into
the famous canals of Venice
with a huge gondola at the end
of the room reminding one
that there was boat rides in
Venice.
Edward Arnold was master
of ceremonies if one could
recognize him beneath the hat
and moustache. The Merchant
of Venice, Lynne Partain,
welcomed the guests and
presented the Wandering
Troubadour, Lester Kirksey,
with the golden key to the
city.
A special guest, Leonard
Whatley, contributed to the
Italian atmosphere with his
song, “More”. Murray Walker
and Sissy Riley, the Glass
Blowers, presented the
keepsakes to the Seniors,
things they will never forget.
The Fabulous Geers of
Macon provided music and
entertainment for the evening.
Miss Jeri Windham and
Sandy Harris, Junior Class
sponsors, were presented gifts
by the class members in
appreciation for their work
toward making the prom a
success.

Spotlighting Our
Senior Citizens
by Elizabeth W. Cooper
Extension Home Economist
The “Merry Month of May”
is a lilting line of song and
rhyme. This lighthearted
month has been designated as
Senior Citizens Month. What a
fitting time for members in
their older years to take a look
at themselves while they are in
the spotlight. Take a look to
see if a few changes in work
patterns might make these
years more enjoyable. As years
move by and energy wanes it is
even more important to adopt
easier ways of working.
Consider making
adjustments in storing items
around the home. When
analyzing the situation ask
yourself these questions. Do I
store each item near the point
of first use? Do I store items at
convenient heights? Do I store
things together that are used
together? Do I store articles
where they are easy to see? Do
I store items where they are
easy to reach and grasp? Do I
keep storage flexible-that is do
I put away items I no longer
use and keep out the things I
use more often?
Use these principles to take
a look at each room in the
house. Analyze the kitchen
storage, bedroom closets,
bathroom, or basement.
Make Your Home Cool This Year
If your home is beginning to
feel like an oven these warm
June days, cool it off by using
a little psychology. There are
ways of making a room look
cooler. It’s a fact that an
uncluttered room seems much
more restful and comfortable
in hot weather, so put away
extra furnishings.
Cover that heavy-looking
upholstery with cool cotton
slipcovers that can go in and
out of the washer and dryer.
You may want to remove
scatter rugs and have a bare
floor. Some of the Bric-a-brac
could be put away and
replaced with cool summer
flowers.
Washable furnishings -are
more appropriate T
