THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
Mr. Huddleston Thanks Friends For
Support While Member School Board
PRESIDENT OF BOARD OF EDU
CATION SAYS HE IS NOT AP
PLICANT FOR RE-APPOINT
MENT. SERVED FOR YEARS
In a card addressed to the people
of Butts county, Mr. W. F. Huddle
ston, president of the Butts County
Board of Education and identified
jwith the cause of education in the
county for more than thirty years,
Isays he will not be an applicant for
j re-appointment.
Mr. Huddleston has rendered
faithful, loyal and outstanding ser
vice to the cause of education. Dur
ing his term of service all schools in
the county have been consolidated
and that was done without voting
bonds or incurring debt. This is
said to be a state record and also
attracted national attention, so much
so that Butts was the first county
in the state to be granted an Edu
cational Survey by the State Depart
ment of Education. Through ail
this period of consoi.datior which
required close financing. Mr. Hud
dleston has been a tower of strength
He will retire from his present
connection with the esteem, appre
ciation and Jove of all friends of
education.
Mr. Huddleston’s card is as fol
lows:
Editor Progress-Argus: My term
as a member of the Butts County
Board of Education expires with the
convening of the Grand Judy. I
am not an applicant for re-appoint
ment. In retiring as a board mem
ber, will say taht we have not ac
complished all that we would have
liked to have done, but did about the
best we could, with the means at
our command. We have built houses
for all our consolidated schools, op-
erated busses, effected arrange
nents with the city of Jackson to
take care of our high school stu
ients, built several houses and re
paired others for the colored schools,
paid all incidental expenses and en
tered the new school program with
out a single obligation, except the
debt of gratitude for such contribu
tions as the splendid school building
at Pepperton by the directors of the
mill, a substantial donation by the
Georgia Power Company through
Mr. Arkwright to the Indian Springs
school. *"
For the material nelp given by the
citizens of communities where
schools are located, for the grading
of school grounds and other consid
erations by the board of County
Commissioners, for the constant aid
of the women’s organizations, we are
deeply appreciative.
We are not forgetful of the Jack
son banks which always came to our
rescue, when funds ran a little short.
We gratefully appreciate the fine
co-operation of teachers, local trus
tees, bus drivers and students.
We are under lasting obligations
to J. D. Jones, editor of The Prog
ress-Argus, for the aid and encour
agement given through the years.
He has never missed an opportunity
to speak words of commendation for
our efforts to advance the interest
of the schools. In fact, he has given
the consideration and support he al
ways gives to every cause that means
anything to Butts county. We shall
ever think of you in terms of appre
ciation and speak of you in words
of praise.
To the Grand Juries who have ap
pointed me a member of the Board
of Education for more than thirty
years, without solicitation, is an ex
pression of confidence that deeply
appeals to me.
To my successor. I wish for you
the same kind consideration given
me.
To the superintendents and Board
members, past and present, with
whom I have served, that my asso
ciation with you has been most pleas
ant, without one word of discord.
Your unselfish devotion to the cause
of education has been an inspiration
jto me.
In honoring me, by making me
j president of the Board, and for
!niany other courtesies and consid
erations shown me, you have the
overflowing gratitude of my soul.
I shall never cease to remember your
confidence and friendship and hope
the opportunity will some day be
mine of showing you the warmth
and depth of my appreciation.
Sincerely,
W. F. HUDDLESTON.

AROUSES INTEREST OF MEM
BERS. PLAN TO SELL ARTI
CLES AT THE STATE PARK
The shop installed in the court
house several months ago as an aid
in the Build-Something 4-H club pro
ject is arousing interest among club
members. The boys who work in
the shop had to learn and from the
crude efforts at first, some of the
members are learning to make use-|
ful and attractive pieces.
Book ends, tie racks, letter open
ers and what-nots of various types
are being turned out. Some of theses
articles will be placed on sale at
the Indian Springs state park and
it is believed the club will receive
enough funds from that source
materially aid in carrying out tmr
program.
The shop is a well equipped one
and the boys, under the direction of
County Agent M. L. Powell, are
learning many useful things by
training hands and minds at the
same time.
