Valentine Takes
Uroflight At
230N1g
! Kindergarten
This week has had two holidays
and we have learned a lot about
both of them.
We heard the story of Abraham
I 'necoln’s life, and made up a song
about him, We think he was a
great man,
We also heard the story of St.
Valentine, and now we know why
we celebrate Valentine’s Day. We
had fun learning Valentine songs
and wrote one all our own, And,
of course, we had a party. We
want to thank our grademothers,
Mrs. Leroy Moorehead, Mrs. Doro
thy Cleghorn, Mrs. T. D. Howell,
and Mrs. P. C. Howle for the nice
valentine treats. We had ice
cream, cake and candy. We had
a good time and got many nice
valentines.
School Council
The school council met on Feb
ruary 12, Thurmond Alewine pre
si‘ed at the meeting,
Yependability and “Why We
Shouldn’t Play Marbles for Keeps”
were taken up under old business.
Some very interesting reports
were glven on how to be more
dependable at home and at school.
Several good points were given
on playing marbles for keeps. One
reporter pointed out that it is
gambling. Other reasons are it
causes fusses, you lose or get some
marbles that are not yours, you
get in a habit of gambling.
The new business taken up was
that of fire inspectors. Each class
is to choose its inspectors and dis
cuss things to do when the fire
bell rings. Reports on this will
be given at the next meeting.

This has been a busy week for
us. We have been reading stories
about the postman, drawing pic
tures, and seeing slides about the
postman. We composed a valen=
« tine poem, wrote it on some paper,
addressed an envelope to our
mothers and fathers, then went’
to the post office and mailed it.
Mr. Norton was nice enough to
take us through the post office
snd show us what happened to
pur letters. We learned that a
postman has to take a civil serv
ice examination before he can be
come a postman. So we took one,
Carol, Linda, Barbara, and Lonnie
made 100, so they were our post
men on Valentine Day.
Our grade mothers gave us a
Yfovely party on Valentine Day.
Yhey served ice cream and cake
to us. We enjoyed it. Then Lon
nie opened a box fixed like a
picture and there was Barbara

dppened her eyes and read the story
of Valentine. After this surprise
the postman delivered our valen
tines to us from our valentine post
office.

kyethas not gained on his bad food

of every bit of land they can farm

n Was Nmaw'sm Years Ago-—l’ebmary 1856—that your Gas Company was
granted its charter that made it Atlanta’s first public utility. This followed the lighting of 50 gas street lamps on Christmas Day 1855, bringing
Atlanta—then a little village numbering aboui 6000-=its first gas service. Today the population of the metropolitan Atlanta area has passed the
half-million mark, and Atlanta Gas Light Company is serving 36 Georgia and 2 South Carolina communities with an estimated over-all population
as 1,129,000. Serving homes, commeraial establishments and tremendous industries, many of which have located in Georgia because of the availability of

natural gas. There are 1430 employees in the various offices and departments of Atlanta Gas Light Company . . . employees carefully trained in
the various steps of rendering good gas service. From the time your first gas appliance is installed, serviced and adjusted, until your meter is read
and you are billed for your gas consumption, these employees know what to do to assure that your gas service is kept up to the highest possible
standards. Many of them have never worked anywhere except at the Gas Company and there is a consciousness of the public trust the Company
has in serving you. Of these employees, 117 are in supervisory positions, Their average age is only 43—but their experience totals 1930 years
of service with the Gas Company and they are keenly alert to seeking out ways to improve your gas service as new developments are made
