America, was held in the Na
tional Guard Armory in Newnan

Presiding over the meeting was
Council President Duncan F.
Mitchell from Woolsey, Ga. There
were many highlights of the
meeting, but one of these was the
awarding of the Silver Beaver
Award, which is the highest
award which a local council can
make to a man in scouting. The
award is for service to youth, not
only in scouting, but in all parts
of community life. This award
this year was presented to George
C. Alexander of McDonough and
to W. Z. “Bill” Camp of Newnan.
Both of these men have been very
active in scouting for many years,
and are also active in all parts
of community life.
The Class of Eagle Scouts for
1962 were recognized by Julius
Bostwick of Thomaston, who is
the Council Advancement Chair
man. The Boy’s Life Award was
presented to the Pine Mountain
District with Turner Scott of
Thomaston receiving the award
for the district. This award is
based on the growth in the num

made to the district who does the
best over-all job in scouting each
year based on membership
growth, growth in packs, troops,
posts, registering of boys and
packs, troops, and posts and the
Boy’s Life record. This award is

Tales Out Of
School
BY BERNICE B. McCULLAR
CHRISTMAS GIFT You’d
never guess what the high school
teachers of Jackson High School
in Butts county are giving to
their community: two hours on
Monday night to help the students
with an extra study hall. These
tired teachers go back every Mon
day night from 7 to 9 to give
their students extra time and
teaching so they will know
enough to cope with this complex
world. No student has to go. It’s
voluntary. The gift of time and
mind is probably the greatest gift
that a teacher can give to a stu
dent or a community. Jackson—
and Principal Ralph H. Cooper—
have my warm congratulations on
having such teachers.
The miracle of Christmas, holy source of hope and joy, once more
spreads its wonders, its radiant promise across the land... and the
Star shines, as on that hallowed night, with eternal light. The blessings
that rise from the sacred manger are manifold and everlasting. Our wish is that you and yours may
be blest with the divine comfort and inspiration of Christmas, now and always.
