THURSDAY, JULY 3, 1947
Canning Season
In County Will
Begin on July 8
The Butts County Community
Canning plant will open for the 1947,
season July 8. This was decided at (
a meeting in the courthouse June
25.
The plant in Jackson will operate
on Tuesday and Thursday, July 8
and 10, and a permanent schedule
will be worked out and announced
later.
The group did not favor operation
of the canning plant at Towaliga
school since it is not far to the
Jackson plant which will handle pro
duce for the whole county. The
water supply at Towaliga is doubt
ful and the amount to be canned
there probably would not warrant
operation. However, this matter was
not definitely decided.
Rules and regulations to govern
operation of the plant were formu
lated by a committee. Members of
the committee were set up by fami
lies as canning is usually a family
problem. Named were:
Mr. and Mrs. Herschel Harris,
chairmen; Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Evans
cochairmen; Mr. and Mrs. C. A.
Smith, Mr, and Mrs. Wright Mad
dox, Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Weaver,
Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Sims. A repre
sentative group of the county was
selected with the three from Towali
ga to represent that community and
plant.
Some of the regulations set up
by the group include:
1. The plant will open at 7 a. m.
2. No produce will be accepted for
canning after 1 p.m. 3. Each per-*
son will clean up equipment used.
4. Each person to help clean tables
and floors. 5. Scraps and waste
will-not be left in plant.
6. Cans will be left at plant at
owner’s risk. 7. Canning will be
paid for before leaving that day.
8. The charge for cans and canning
will be 5 Ys cents for No. 2 cans and
’ €Vs cents for No. 3 cans. 9. Meats
will not be canned during vegetable
season. 10. This is a community
plant. Let’s make it so by each per
son doing his part.
These rules were approved by the
committee and Board of Education.

SIX BEAVERS ARE
PLACED IN STREAMS
AT INDIAN SPRINGS
If you see a large, furry animal
with a broad, trowel shaped tail
swimming in one of the creeks at
Indian Springs State Park, don’t
shoot or molest them, and if they’re
at work building a dam then you’ve
seen an eager beaver, for according
to an announcement of Weyman
Cole, park superintendent, six
beavers were recently released at
the state park by the Georgia State
Wildlife department and the Fed
eral Wildlife Service.
Mr. Cole reports these beavers
were brought from a game reserve
near Butler, Ga., and placed in the
streams at the park with the hope
that they will stay in this vicinity.
Many have expressed fear that they
would soon journey down to the
Ocmulgee River which Superintend
ent Cole admits is a distinct possi
bility.

WHERE THOUSANDS DIE!
Georgians Have
Nest Egg From
Bond Interest
Individual Georgians now own
over $500,000,000 of U. S. Savings
Bonds. This brings an annual income
in cash or increase in value of al
most fifteen millions per year.
The “Bond a Month’’ plan is now
available at banks. It is simple. The
person desiring to do so simply
authorizes his bank to purchase a
bond each month.
National surveys show that people
hold bonds better than cash. One
third of wage earning families have
cashed in no bonds at all—only one
out of five have cashed all their
bonds.
Why buy bonds? Most important
personal reason is to save. It is not
to put the government further into
debt, but to spread the debt. To
91 killed — 3,lsoinjuredf If that were the report oi an explosion; wreclc
“or other 4 disaster,it would be front page news.'People would be hor
rified! But worse—it’s just one dap’s list in the
United States. It" happens every day; week in, week out. Four deaths ;
131 .injured—every hour. \ At year’s end 33,500 lives snuffed out, over*
a million injured or maimed for life. That’s-what happened last year,3
vThis year’s record threatens to. even higher.
Speed—reckless, wanton speed—drunken’ driving—defiance 7 of!
Safety rules and regulations—and careless, jaywalking pedestrians,)
top the list of causes for this grim toll.

What can you do about it?-Will the speeding wheels of your car
add one death to. this mass murder of the highways? Not if you, the
driver—and you, the pedestrian—take your individualresponsibili
ties seriously. Drive carefully, at all times, under.all conditions, and,
be alert .when walking., ri
Don’t be one of the.thousands.to kill, killed. T Drive safely
—and live!
INSURANCE MUST BE
REINSTATED BY AUG.
1, VETERANS TOLD
Veterans who have allowed their
insurance to lapse, are warned by
the Veterans Administration that
August 1, next, is the deadline for
reinstating government insurance.
The American Legion and Veterans
of Foreign Wars will assist veterans
with their insurance problems.
The matter is one of considerable
importance to many veterans who
are requested to keep the August 1
deadline in mind.
shift the debt from short-term obli
gations to long term widespread
ownership by individuals. To combat
further deflation directly. To avoid
the boom and,bust.
