112 Pint Quota Assigned At
Bloodmobile Visit Nov. sth
Butts countians, flush with
their blood donorship triumphs
of the past two visits, are
reminded not to rest on their
laurels by John B. Long, Blood
Recruitment Chairman for
Butts County, as he announces
the appearance of the Regional
Bloodmobile in Jackson on
Monday, November sth, with a
quota of 112 pints.
Millard Daniel, County A
gent, said this week that he was
certain the adult 4-H Club
members would perpetuate the
sponsorship of the bloodmobile
despite the fact that Butts
County does not presently have
the services of an Extension
home economist. During the
last two visits of the
bloodmobile Miss Rachel Tor

has since resigned and taken a
United Appeal Drive Is
Short, But Goal Is In Sight
“The wind up may be rough,
but I’m sure we’ll make it,”
Dick O’Hara, president of the
’74 United Appeal drive, said
this week.
“We are just a little short of
having a total of $11,000,” Mr.
O’Hara continued, “and, since
many groups have not yet
reported contributions, I think
we’ll make the $15,000 goal we
have set for ourselves.”
Contributions from Indus
tries have totaled S7IOO, by far
the largest group in the drive.
“The people in industry have
given an excellent response,”
Mr. O’Hara said, “and we have
really been encouraged by
their cooperation.”
Reported pledges from Busi
ness totals $3000; however, the
chairmen of this division still
have a third of the way to go.
Pledges from Education
amount to S4OO. This sum,
however, represents contribu
tions from one school alone,
Jackson Primary. The other
schools are still collecting
pledges.
A door-to-door canvas of
local residences started Wed
nesday of this week and will
continue through the weekend.
Mr. O’Hara reported that “a
small but enthusiastic” group
attended the first Charity Ball
held in connection with the UA
drive. “At least, we have
something to build on, some
thing to grow with next year,
should we wish to do so,” Mr.
O’Hara concluded.
The United Appeal drive
comes to a close October 31.
Full report of contributions will
be made two weeks after
closing date, Mr. O’Hara
stated.
Avondale

Donald Comer, Jr., Presi
dent and Treasurer, announced

audited figures for the year
ended August 31,1973, show net

City Election
Be Held
November 7
City of Jackson voters will
return to the polls for the
second time in less than a
month to elect the nominees of
the October 12th primary in the
general election of Wednesday,
November 7th.
To be elected will be J.
Dawson Bryant, imcumbent
councilman from the first
ward, who was nominated
without oppositon.
John L. Coleman, incumbent
fourth ward candidate, was
successful in his bid for
re-election by defeating two
political neophytes, Wayne
Cook and Wayne Lamar
Phillips, on the first ballot.
John Robert Pulliam, incum
bent councilman from the fifth
ward, defeated Sam A. Smith
in his bid for re-election.
M. L. Powell, city clerk,
announces there are approxi
mately 1,675 registered voters
in the city eligible to cast their
ballot in the general election.
Mr. Powell also announced
that polls will open at the City

open until 7 p.m., thus allowing
ample time for those who wish
to cast their ballots.
Since only 778 voted in the
city primary in which two
races were contested and some
interest generated, Mr. Powell
feels there might be an
extremely light vote in the
general election.

Made Debut
October 18
Break out the red flannels!
It’s that time of the year again!
They were needed Thursday
morning and undoubtedly used
by some when the temperature
dipped into the low and middle
30’s in the Jackson area with
many furnaces turned on for
the first time this season amid
a general scurrying for coats
and jackets.
The cold front that took
approximately ten days to
work its way across country to
the Southeast arrived Wednes
day night to send the mercury
skidding with below freezing
temperatures recorded in
North Georgia.
As usual, Indian Springs was
Butts County’s icebox again
with Edward Cornell, Sr.
reporting a reading of 32
degrees with ice and a
moderate frost. Other people
around the county reported
temperatures ranging from 33
to 37 degrees and frost in most
areas of the county, being
particularly heavy in valleys
and low lying places.

October 15th is generally
regarded as the date for the
first killing frost which means
that this year it was
approximately three days late.
The cooler temperatures
should do much to enhance the
beauty of the foliage in North
Georgia with the next few
days. Leo Aikman, Constitu
tion columnist, reported in his
column of October 18th the
leaves in the mountain areas
are just beginning to turn and
should hold their beauty to
November 4th. He urged leaf
viewers to travel on weekdays
if possible to avoid monu
