Mailing Tips
Given By
Postmaster
Postmaster Tom Webb urged
customers to take special care
in addressing mail to U. S.
serviceman overseas to avoid
disappointment at Christmas.
Postmaster Webb said: “If
mail to a serviceman is fully
addressed- rank, name, serial
number, military unit, correct
APO and ZIP Code for the
APO-it can be immediately
sorted for dispatch overseas,
thus expediting delivery.
“Remember, too, that all
letters and gift packages to
serviceman must be addressed
to a specific individual by
name, not just to any
serviceman, ” he added.

visit the polls and elect three

nominated in the City Primary
of October 12th.
Elected by the small vote
were J. Dawson Bryant,
incumbent councilman, from
the first ward who was
nominated in the City Primary
without opposition.
John L. Coleman, incumbent
councilman, was elected in the
fourth ward after having
defeated Wayne Cook and
Wayne Lamar Phillips in the
city primary.
John Robert Pulliam, incum
bent councilman from the fifth
ward, defeated Sam Smith in
the city primary and was
ratified by voters in the
general election.

City Clerk, there were no
write-ins with the city election

Cold Wave
Hit South
On Sunday
The first frigid blast of
Winter rocked the South
Saturday night and Sunday
morning with the mercury
dipping to a bone chilling 20
degrees Sunday morning at
Indian Springs, Butts County’s
traditional ice box. A cold wave
warning was issued for
Georgia during the weekend.
A cold front moved south
ward during the day Saturday
and brought freezing tempera
tures to near the Florida line
and windy weather with gusts
to 30 miles per hour for almost
71,000 fans in the Gator Bowl
Saturday afternoon.
Monday the wind was quieter
with the Jackson area visited
by a heavy frost. Edward
Cornell at Indian Springs
reported the thermometer at
one degree higher over
Sunday’s reading. North Flori
da residents said the wind was
the only reason they were
spared a heavy frost Sunday
morning with temperatures in
the low thirties.
The thermometer plunged to
marks in the low teens in the
mountain area of North
Georgia.

One cubic yard of trash is deposited on each mile of American
roads every month, according to a national survey sponsored by
Keep America Beautiful, Inc. Motorists drop an average of 1,304
pieces of litter every month on each mile of Interstate and primary
highway in the U.S. nearly 16,000 pieces of litter per mile per
year. Paper goods accounted for 59%; cans 16%, plastic items,
bottles and jars, 6% each. The remaining 13% included such items
as false teeth, hair curlers, ice chests and washing machines.
Another survey, by Gallup, showed men litter nearly twice as
much as women. Also, people between the ages of 21 and 35 litter
twice as much as those between 35 and 49,
and three times as much as people over 50.
Large families are more likely to litter
j\ than small ones, and farmers and residents
iiß 'iUMfrnii °f small towns litter more than people who
live in big cities.

JOURNEY to BEAUTY and FAITH
Brave Captain Steve Jett,
Co-Captain Don Folsom
With Mate Williamson went on a trip
To see all the trees
And turning fall leaves
That Jack Frost had started to nip!
The Ladies were from
Our First Baptist Church
A jollier crowd never met,
From chatting along
To singing a song
Their Womens’ Lib wasn’t upset!
’Twas on “eighty-five”
That borders appeared
Of maples- red, yellow, and brown-
Then draperies tall
Like velvet, with all
Their brocaded colors hung down!
At Cleveland, they saw
Their Co-Captain’s College
Resplendent, with mountains in view
Like calico quilts
Thrown across giant stilts
Over sheets of cerulean hue!
In Helen, there was thrill
Of a Swiss-built Quadrille
With steeples and quaint balconies
And gift shops, iron-wrought,
Where passengers bought
Fresh crackers and molds of Swiss cheese!
On steep winding roads,
With canyons between
Mountains gleaming in purple and gold,
They were hurrying on
Right through Covington
Singing hymns of their faith, loud and bold!

We could not begin to name
each one, but we humbly say -
Thank You so very much and
may God bless each of you is
our prayer. - Mr. and Mrs.
Herman Castellaw.
