Kiwanis Club
Very Active
In Past Year
The 1969 achievement report
of the Jackson Kiwanis Club is
one of the most glowing of recent
years, President Denny O’Neal
said this week in revealing some
of the work done by Kiwanis
committees. President O’Neal was
also quick to point out that the
achievements were made under
the leadership of Hugh Glidewell,
immediate past president, and
cited Mr. -Glidewell for his dedi
cated service and leadership which
he rendered to the club during
his tenure.
Mr. O’Neal explained that un
der Kiwanis bylaws the great ma
jority of all work and projects
is accomplished by committees
which are appointed at the be
ginning of the new year by the
incoming president with projects
set up in advance and monthly
reports made.
Last year the Support of
Churches and Their Spiritual
Aims committee distributed Sun
day School lesson leaflets at Syl
van Grove Hospital each three
months. Three Kiwanians worked
12 man hours arranging and con
ducting Saturday morning prayer
breakfasts. Two Kiwanians made
arrangements with local indus
tries to send clothes and usable
scraps of cloth to a missionary
in the Congo. The clothes and
remnants were worth approxi
mately sll7. Members of the
committee helped sell tickets and
promote a Billy Graham film.
Three Kiwanians worked 50 man
hours and spent $25 helping to
promote an area wide youth re
vival. The committee spent SSO
to send canned milk and baby
food to victims of Hurricane
Camille.
President O’Neal lauded Tom
O’Dell for his excellent work in
sending 27 pairs of eye glasses
overseas where they were dis
tributed and fitted for needy peo
ple as part of the International
Relations Committee. A Care
package is sent overseas each
month at a cost of $9.
One of the more active com
mittees is the Boys and Girls
Committee headed by Robert
Pinckney, chairman. Last year
six members worked 112 man
hours to supervise activities of
150 boys and girls at the Y outh
Center. Four Kiwanians worked
124 man hours coaching 112 boys
and girls in basketball. Nine Ki
wanians participated in Cub
Scout work with the cub master
and assistant cub master being
Kiwanians. One of the highlights
of the year for this committee
was the visit of Lous Geithoorn,
a Girl from the Netherlands, who
spent days in Jackson with

total of $278.50 spent.
President O’Neal called atten
tion to the Kiwanis Clothing
Drive which is a continuing ac
tivity. This clothing collection
project has been so successful
that the distribution center has
plenty of clothes on hand at all
times. In June the Kiwanis Club
was informed that 105 needy
families had received clothing.
In order to encourage young
school boys and girls to try hard
er in school the Kiwanis presents
two silver loving cups each year,
one cup being presented in each
junior high school to the student
with the highest scholastic rec
ord. This project cost the club
SSO.
Prayer Sunday
Asked For
Viet Prisoners
A nationwide effort is being
made by wives and families of
Amercan Prisoners of War and
Missing in Action personnel in
Southeast Asia to make Novem
ber 9th a special Day of Prayer
in churches across the nation. A
letter in behalf of this special day
of prayer was received here by
Mrs. Allan Brittain from Mrs.
Wayne E. Fullam of Chatta
nooga, Tennessee. Mrs. Fullman’s
husband, Major Wayne Fullam,
was shot down over North Viet
nam on October 7, 1967. Since
that day there has been no word
from or about her husband from
any source.
In her letter, Mrs. Fullam
states that “we want to make
people aware of the situation
that exists. North Vietnam does
not honor the Geneva Convention
which they endorsed in 1957.
There are over 1300 U. S. ser
vicemen classified by the services
as either prisoners of war or mis
sing in action with nearly 800 of
these, being downed over North
Vietnam. Most are pilots and a
substantial percentage of the
missing are believed to be prison
ers.”
Continuing, Mrs. Fullam wrote,
“Our aim, through prayer is to
bring world opinion and pressure
to bear on North Vietnam so they
may honor the minimum require
ments of the Geneva Convention
which are:
“(1) Release a list of names
of the men they are holding. (The
first U. S. pilot was shot down
August 1964, he is believed to
be a prisoner.)
“(2) Release the sick and
wounded.
“(3) Allow an impartial team
from the International Red Cross
to inspect their facilities.
“(4) Allow a free flow of
mail between the prisoners and
their families.”
Mrs. Fullam said her husband,
Wayne, was born and raised in
Chatttanooga. He was shot down
32 miles from Hanoi on October
7, 1967. He bailed out of his
crippled fighter and has not been
heard from since, Mrs. Fullam
continued.
“Circumstances and God’s as
surance have made me feel he is
alive and being held prisoner. I,
as anew Christian, am learning
the overwhelming powers of pray
er. I covet your prayers and the
prayers of your congregation. I
feel this can only be a successful
effort if it is done in an attitude
of love. Please pray as your heart
leads you. My prayer is that God
will soften the hearts of the
North Vietnam government and
they will honor these minimum
requirements.”

Farm Income
In County
Shows Rise
NEW YORK, Sept. 27—Al
though farming has not been the
most profitable of occupations
during the past five years, it has
been more so in Butts County
than in many sections of the
country.
Local farmers made bigger
gains during that period, from
the standpoint of gross receipts
for their products, than the aver
age, according to a nationwide
survey released by the Standard
Rate and Data Service.
It shows their gross income
in the past year was $490,000
greater than it was in 1963.
They were able to increase
their yield from livestock and
poultry and produce larger crops,
even though they had a smaller
amount of land available to them,
because of the government’s
acreage control programs.
The gain in production is at
tributed to more efficient ope
ration, due in large measure to
the increased use of farm machin
ery and to more intensive culti
vation.
With the growing affluence of
the population as a whole, there
was a greater demand for ag
ricultural products, both here and
abroad. It created a rise in the
price of many commodities, but
the farmer and rancher got only
a small part of the benefit.
The report lists Butts County’s
gross farm income in the past
year as $2,824,000, as compared
with the total five years ago of
$2,334,000.
These were the gross figures,
before any allowances for taxes
and operating costs.
The rise, which amounted to 21
percent, was greater than was
chalked up in many farm areas.
Of the local income, approxi
mately 43 percent came from the
sale of crops and 57 percent from
the marketing of livestock, poul
try and dairy products. These
figures are based upon the latest

The income figure also takes
into account money received from
the government and “income in
kind,” which is the value of home
grown products consumed on the
farm.
Offsetting the rise in gross in
come in the last five years was
the sharp increase in taxes,
wages, fuel, feed and other pro
duction costs.
