Devils End
Season With
5-5 Record
The Mary Persons Bulldogs
moved a step closer to the Region
5-B championship by defeating
Jackson 33-6 in Forsyth Friday
night as tailback Dennis Peavy
led the charge with an unbeliev
able performance. The 6 ft., 176
lb. senior back scored four touch
downs and rushed for 265 yards
in 27 carries.
After a scoreless first quar
ter, the Bulldogs put 20 points
on the board before the half,
Dennis Peavy scoring on the first
play of the second quarter as he
streaked 26 yards into the end
zone to cap an 80 yard drive
which took 11 plays. Peavy car
ried on all but three plays on this
march. Joe Josey kicked his first
of three extra points.
Fulback Buzz Porch scored the
next touchdown on a one yard
plunge that climaxed a 12 play,
82 yard drive. The third touch
down came on a 13 yard pass
from Quarterback Denzie Davis
to Peavy with 16 seconds left in
the half. This drive covered 81
yards in 14 plays.
Midway the third period Peavy
continued his scoring ways with
a 26 yard touchdown run. This
march covered 62 yards in six
plays. With 2:06 remaining in the
third period, Peavy made it 33-0
on a 6 yard touchdown run. This
drive consumed 8 plays and 38
yards.
Jackson scored with 7:16 left
in the game when tailback Bruce
Hicks rammed across from two
yards out. The drive covered 60
yards and took 12 plays.
The victory gives Mary Persons
a 7-2 overall record and a 5-1
region mark with only Manches
ter on the schedule. The Bull
dogs will play that game in Man
chester Friday night.
The defeat evens Jackson’s rec
ord at 5-5 for the season. The

bridge, West Point, and Monti
eello, and were defeated by Hen
ry County, Cordon Military, Man

"Space for families to stretch and grow . . . plenty
of breathing room away from the city's congested
tread-mill! And all without sacrificing the conveniences
of city living!" . . .
This is the message we can send to the crowded
cities. Industry and private citizens alike are finding
rural areas mighty attractive alternatives to their urban
problems!
We need to create jobs in rural areas . . . help stop
the out-flow of our young people . . . build for the
future. We've got lots to offer! We've got power to
grow . . . out where there's room to grow!

Kiwanians
Pay Tribute
To Matthews
In a moving memorial tribute
to Walter Matthews, a member
: and director of the Jackson Ki
wanis Club, Rev. Ray Dunahoo,
pastor of the Jackson United
Methodist Church, eulogized him
as a man who was a living ex
ample of the Kiwanis motto, “We
Build.”
Mr. Dunahoo said that he had
known Mr. Matthews about two
years and found him perfectly
attuned to devoting himself to
community service. Mr. Dunahoo
praised him for his life of ser
vice to his adopted community,
cited his Christian character, and
told of his resignation to the in
evitable after he learned of his
fatal illness.
The minister said that among
the two things Walter Matthews
loved best were the Holy Bible
and the University of Georgia
football team, both of which he
loved and served with an un
swerving devotion and loyalty.
The speaker recalled that despite
his illness Mr. Matthews had
hoped to attend one of the ear
lier Georgia home games in a
wheel chair. However, as the time
of the game approached a worsen
ing of his condition made the trip
too hazardous.
Mr. Dunahoo said that Mr.
Matthews had often spoken to
him of his love and affection for
the people of Butts County and
how he regretted that he was not
able to do more for the commu
nity that he held in such high
esteem.

ducted Harold Martin as anew
member. The guests were Charlie

Butts Schools
To Receive
Public Funds
If past experience can be used
as a guide, Butts County Schools
should receive approximately
$12,500 this year from the U. S.
Government under Public Law
874, enacted by the 81st Con
gress.
This law supplements local
school money for school children
whose parents work on Federal
property such as the Atlanta
Army Depot or Warner Robins
plus children who have a parent
in the Armed Forces.
Schools on Federal Installa
tions are tax free. In recognition
of the financial burdens of local
educational agencies under the
impact of nearby Federal agen
cies, the United States provides
financial assistance for local edu
cational agencies.
This money differs from other
Federal school money in that it
goes directly into the school gen
eral fund and is used as regular
school money. This has the effect
of reducing the local school tax.
The school system must request
this money. Recently, school rec
ords were screened and forms
were sent home by the children
whose records indicated that their
parent or parents worked on Fed
eral property or were serving in
the Armed Forces. These comple
ted forms are needed to substan
tiate the school claim. Additional
elegible children would mean ad
ditional income for our schools.
If you feel that you qualify, have
a child in school, and did not re
ceive a form, please request one
from the school office in the
court house or any school office.
