Devilettes
Defeat
Greenville
BY BRIAN WAITS
Progre**-Argiii Sport* Writer
The Jackson Red Devils cap
tured their first victory of the
new basketball season Saturday
night with a 58-20 victory over
Greenville.
The Devilettes led from the
outset, but the first half re
mained close as Jackson had a
17-0 halftime advantage.
In the second half Tina Hol
ston and Doris Green were hitting
from everywhere on the court ns
the Devilettes ran over the
Greenville girls.
The scoring for Jackson was
done by Tina Holston and Doris
Green, both with 10 points, Re
gina Lawrence with 13, Melanie
Bell with 8 points, and Tarnmie
Lmith scored 5 points.
Ruby Bell led the Greenville
scoring with 7 points.
Costly turnovers and numerous
penalties were the big problem
for Greenville Saturday night, as
the Devilettes took advantage of
almost every opportunty they
had.
This was the best ball frame
of the current season for the
Devilettes. They were getting the
good breaks and the shots were
falling in. The guard play was
excellent with Sherry Barnes.

The next game for the girls
will come on December 4 as the
team travels to Forsyth to play
Mary Persons. On Dec. 3 the
boys will begin their 1971 season
playing Troup County in Jackson.

In 1931,
it took 13 cents’ worth of electricity
to roast a 12-pound turkey.
Today it takes just se v en cents.
Of course, the turkeys were tougher in '3l. And the
ovens weren’t as hot. But the biggest reason it costs
less today is that the price you pay for electricity
is lower.
Forty years ago, our average residential price
per kilowatt-hour was 5.6 cents. But it’s just 1.7
cents today. At that price, you can bake a pumpkin
pie for less than four cents. Make your own cranberry
muffins for two cents. And do the dishes afterward
for less than two cents.
Compared to 1931. most prices are higher. But
not ours. Just measure the value you get against the
price you pay. We think you’ll agree. Electricity con
tinues to be a bargain. The biggest bargain in your
family budget. In any season.

Butts Citizens
Eyeing Drug
Program Here
Six Butts County citizens are
being selected by the Inter-
Agency Council to attend a two
week drug abuse seminar during
February as part of anew Help
Communities Help Themselves
grant offered through the De
partment of Health, Education
and Welfare. If approved, attend
ing delegates to the seminar will
work as a team to develop the
first preventive drug education
program in this area.
The U. S. Office of Education
has announced that represent
atives will be selected from only
500 of the nearly 2,000 commu
nities applying. The six Jackson
spokesmen will focus on improv
ing their capacity to act in com

specific needs of their community
and the basic means by which to
work through their community’s
structure —if the applications are
approved.
According to Inter-Agency
President Millard Daniel, a cross
section of the Jackson populace
is being selected and will sub
mit individual applications to
H.E.W. Their qualifications will
determine whether Jackson will
be represented at the seminar
which may be held in either At

He said that the drug problem
in Jackson is known to be on
the increase and is generally in
volving more local youth. The
mini-grant offered by H.E.W.
will offer Jackson a necessary
prevention and education pro
gram at no cost to the communi
ty, Mr. Daniel added. “For once
we will have well-trained people
in drug education who will work
in their spare time to teach youth
the tremendous dangers of nar
cotic experimentation,” he re
marked.
