Caesar is a pedi greed Seal Point Himalayan. The breed is an unusual one and relatively new as cat breeds go; it was originated by the British and is the result of a cross between the Persian and Siamese breeds. Caesar’s blue eyes and the pattern of his coat’s coloring was inherited from the Siamese strain while the long hair, large eyes and deep chested body came from the other side of the fence the Persian strain. He comes from a long string of show cats; the Brewers bought Caesar from Mrs. Elizabeth Spence in Douglas after discovering her ad in the newspaper. Nugget, a tom and the last cat owned by the Brewers, came to an unfortunate and ill-timed end after an encounter with a neighbor’s Report From Indian Springs By Mrs. Robert W. Grier, Sr. This reporter and Mr. Grier wish to thank all of our friends who so lovingly called on us, provided food and gave so many beautiful floral offerings during our recent bereavement. Also, to Rev. James Jackson for his concern and assistance in the funeral service and to the other local ministers who paid their respects. Of course, we are grateful to our sons and daughter for being with us, as well as for our three granddaughters who attended the service. Mr. and Mrs. Joel Crane had as their guests over the weekend Mr. and Mrs. Neil Mullis and children of Dublin, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fitzgerald of Macon, Mr. and Mrs. James Adams of Jackson Lake, Bozo, Jim, and Russell Crane of Macon, Scott and Steve Fletcher of Locust Grove, and Danny Hoard and Barrett of the Village. Mrs. Spencer Johnson spent last week in Hazlehurst with her children, Dr. and Mrs. Sidney Johnson, Mi chele and Sidney, Jr. Mr. and Mrs. Dan Hoard and Mr. and Mrs. Danny Hoard and Barrett spent last Sunday in Dublin visiting relatives. Miss Blannie Stallworth’s sister, Mrs. E. H. Wise, Jr., has returned to her home in Gainesville, F' •rida. Her nephew. Jim Wise, has ELLEN BREWER AND CAESAR dog; according to Ellen this sad event typifies the Brewers luck at raising both dogs and cats. So, after Nugget’s demise a frustrated yet undaunted Jim Brewer, determined to raise and maintain a pet in good health past maturation, set out in search of a kitten. Caesar was the lucky feline and so far after four whole days Lady Luck is still with them. However, Caesar’s present good health has little to do with Lady Luck; he dines three times each day on a mixture of equal parts of ground beef, cottage cheese and A&P catfood as recom mended by Mrs. Spence. For those who may wonder, the cottage cheese is for the benefit of Caesar’s coat. Ellen says she is thankful that the famous Siamese meow or howl was not one of those traits that Caesar inherited. His meow is soft and while not an ordinary meow it isn’t a nerve tearing returned to Duke University at Durham, N.C. Mr. Leonard Gregory is greatly improved since his recent surgery. Mr. and Mrs. C.

In spite of his soft meow, Caesar is a nervous cat and is constantly wagging his tail except on those occasions when he is chasing it. About midway along his tail the fur gets rather sparse as a direct result of numerous tail chases. He often winds up some, saulting during these determined attacks upon his tail. He is a playful kitten and enjoys the attention he receives from the Brewer boys, Michael, 8, and Chris, 3; however, Caesar is still a little wary of Chris’ enthu siasm. As mentioned above, Cae sar is new at the Brewer home and everyone is still involved in the getting to know process, including Caesar. The Progress-Argus certainly wishes the Brewers luck with their new family member and a long and healthy life for Caesar —a most unusually beautiful cat. CARD OF THANKS The many remembrances by friends and loved ones were appreciated very much during my stay in the hospital and after returning home. The cards, flowers, phone calls, and other acts of kindness meant much to me and my family. C. W. Haley. This correspondent and Mr. Grier and Robert Grier, Jr. had dinner with Mrs. Carol Chalker at her home in Griffin on Saturday. Kiwanis Honors Paper Peter Banks, Democratic nominee for senator from the 17th District, Editor Doyle Jones, Mrs. Jones, and the staff of the Progress-Argus were guests of the Jackson Kiwanis Club at their Oct. 29th meeting at the Jackson Clubhouse. President Randy Hudgins opened the meeting and introduced Mr. Jones, who discussed Kiwanis obser vance of National Newspaper Week. Mr. Banks, an attorney and businessman from Lamar County, discussed issues which he felt would assume major importance in the next session of the Georgia legislature. The first issue which he felt would receive legislative attention was ad valorem tax relief. He gave a brief explanation of the “circuit breaker” form of tax relief, stating that it would be simpler to enact since no constitutional amendment would be required. He also felt it would be of most benefit to those on fixed incomes, such as the elderly, and to small farmers and landowners. Other types of tax relief explained were a tax rollback and a land use ta^. A second issue of major importance was education. Mr. Banks said the last session of the General Assembly had faced the problem of replacing the Minimum Program for edu cation with the Adequate Program. “We certainly can’t find the resources to fund the Adequate Program for edu cation in full,” he said. “The legislature will probably have to choose those parts to fund.” He predicted that teacher salaries and the pupil-teacher ratio would probably receive the most attention. Mr. Banks said he felt the state “in some form or other” was going to take on a greater burden in financing public education. However, he added, “I don’t want to see the state take on the entire burden. I want to see kept at home those decisions that ought to be made at home.” Mr. Banks said he hopes to set aside one or two days each month to meet with the people of each county in order to work for more effective local legislation. "There have been credibi lity gaps between elected officials and those who have elected them,” he said. “The most important issue is who is going to be responsive to the local people.” Mr. Banks said he felt the responsive public official should try to “plan with people and work with people rather than planning for and working for people.” Questions addressed to Mr. Banks concerned the future of the Department of Human Resources (“Too many lay ers were involved in that one THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1974 Flovilla Happenings By Mrs. S.

He said he felt that the construction of more facili ties to house inmates was inevitable and that greater utilization of county work camps, provided they met state standards, was likely.
