Effective Immediately
To the Citizens of Jackson:
Due to an unfavorable response from a majority of our
citizens, the Mayor and Council have rescinded their request
for help in changing pickup of garbage from backyard pick
ups to street pick-ups. We will continue our twice a week
pick-ups as long as possible.
Your help in conserving energy and concern for your
City will be greatly appreciated.
Mayor & Council
the street for pick-ups. This
decision was made because of
the unfavorable response from
a majority of citizens, many of
whom claimed they had no one
to bring their garbage to the
curb and others who felt that
dogs and other animals would
turn over the receptacles and
strew the garbage on yards and
streets.
In announcing the decision to
continue regular back yard
pick-ups on a twice a week
basis, Mayor Mackey asked for
the cooperation of each citizen
in conserving energy and said
that “your concern for your
city will be greatly apprecia
ted.”
“Anew order of God’s
making” will come in this
generation, Jehovah’s Wit
o nesses were told at their
semi-annual circuit convention
at Turner High School in
Atlanta this past weekend.
Members of the local
congregation of Jehovah’s
Witnesses attended the two
day meeting, which featured
an address by district supervi
sor George Condilis on the
subject, “Act Wisely As the
End Draws Near.”
Condilis said Bible prophecy
indicates the end of the present
world systems is near, and that
the active preaching world
wide of Jehovah’s Witnesses is
one proof of it. He pointed out
that Jesus Christ foretold “a
worldwide proclamation of
God’s kingdom just before the
end.”
“Where does one find the
answer as to what course to
take - to men or God?”
Condilis asked the audience of
over 1,700.
‘This is a time to be
concerned with others,” he
said, “helping them act wisely
as the end draws near.”
Jehovah’s Witnesses is a
worldwide brotherhood of over
1,600,000 persons who partici
pate in the public, house-to
house ministry for which the
witnesses are noted.

THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
Murder
Clues
Skimpy
Since deer hunters discover
ed the remains of a young
woman on Lester Mill Road
south of McDonough the Henry
County Sheriff’s Department
has had scores of telephone
calls, but no solution.
The calls have been received
from points as distant as
Cleveland, Ohio, mostly from
people concerned about miss
ing family members. In each
case officers have ruled out
any possibility of the young
woman filling the description
of the person being sought.
Henry County Sheriff’s de
tectives report the remains of
the young woman included an
almost perfect set of teeth with
no fillings. The absence of
fillings complicated identity
somewhat, but has permitted
officers to eliminate numbers
of possible suspected victims.
The State Crime Lab
estimates the woman was
between 18 and 25 years of age.
Very few people attain that age
without having any fillings.
Officers continue sifting
clues, of which there are only a
limited number.
MISSING CANADIAN
The search for answers in the
murder shooting of a wealthy
Canadian, Arthur Fierheller,
whose body was discovered
last summer near McDonough
has apparently reached a dead
end.
Investigation by Henry
County Sheriffs detectives
indicates the motive was
probably robbery.
The Canadian’s automobile
was left parked at a service
station in Alabama by three
illkemp males, who went into
the station for drinks and
cookies.
Although Fierheller’s family
said he never picked up
hitchhikers, the man may have
deviated from his personal
principles because of a state of
intoxication.
The story of his shooting
received a big play from
Canadian news media, sub
stantiating the prominence of
the victim.
TTie case remains unsolved.
