DAR Heard Reports
On Its Two Schools
Members of the William
Mclntosh Chapter National
Society Daughters of the
American Revolution met
January 18th at the Jackson
Clubhouse for their first
meeting of the new year.
Mrs. Margarett Ethe
redge, Regent, presided.
Miss Lois McMichael, Chap
lain, opened the meeting with
the DAR ritual which
included the American’s
Creed, Pledge to the Flag,
and the singing of America.
The President General’s
message, read by Mrs. Julia
Head, challenged all chap
ters to project into the future
the moral and spiritual
values on which our free
doms are based, continue in
our efforts to safeguard our
Constitutional Rights by a
continuing program of edu
cation designed to under
score all that is great and
good in America with
renewed confidence and
faith.
The Defense Chairman,
Miss Ruth Phinazee, urged
members to become better
informed citizens on the
immortal document, “The
Constitution of America,”
and to influence our educa
tional systems to teach our
students the importance of
learning its meaning and the
expressed rights of all
citizens. She touched briefly
on the world’s crisis all
citizens of the world face
today. She stated we are in a
neck and neck race between
population growth and hun
ger, yet Red China, with
assistance from U.S.S.R.,
broke up the World Popula
tion Conference in Bucharest
and was totally indifferent to
its problems; yet, the key to
the food crisis is productivity
of all nations. India cried out
for her hungry citizens and
spends 350 million dollars on
nuclear weapons. Keep a
breast of world problems and
its dangers, she warned.
Minutes of the November
meeting were read by the
secretary, Mrs. Robert C.
Edwards, and adopted. Mrs.
Kathleen Pinckney, treasu
rer, gave her report.
Delegates to the State
conference in Athens on
March 13 thru 15 were
elected as were delegates to
the Continental Congress to
be held in Washington in
April.
A well planned and
informative program, given
by Mrs. Jane Weaver and
Mrs. Sara B. Spencer, vividly
outlined one phase of the
DAR educational objectives.
The two schools founded and
established by the DAR
were, first, Tamassee, foun
ded in 1919 by the Daughters
of South Carolina. This
became a National project in
1920. Tamassee is a boarding
and day school located in
Cherokee Indian territory in
South Carolina and bears the
Indian name. It is co-educa
tional with grades one
payable by reason of default
under the provisions of such
Deed to Secure Debt and the
terms of the note secured
thereby, and sale will be
made for the purpose of
applying the proceeds there
of toward expenses of sale,
payment of the indebtedness
and interest thereon, and any
balance remaining shall be
applied as provided by law.
To the best of the
undersigned’s knowledge
and belief the party in
possession of the property is
F. A. Reece a-k-a Fred A.
Reece.
Said property will be sold
as the property of F. A.
Reece a-k-a Fred A. Reece
and subject to unpaid taxes,
special assessments, and
prior restrictions of record, if
any.

needs of any child who does
not live within walking
distance of any school or
highway. The second, Kate
Duncan Smith, located at
Grant, Alabama, was esta
blished by the Alabama
Daughters in 1924. It is a day
school, kindergarten through
the 12th grade, and is the only
Junior-Senior High School in
the one hundred square miles
it serves. The enrollment of
Tamassee is 300 and Kate
Duncan Smith averages 800.
In each of the two schools
nearly all the household and
manual labor going into
construction and mainte
nance is done by students.
Both schools receive assis
tance from the county and
state for teacher salaries and
transportation; otherwise,
they are entirely dependent
upon DAR for support.
Mrs. Gladys Wilson, Ame
rican History chairman,
reported that contacts with
all grade schools and junior
high schools urging partici
pation in the February essay
contest had produced some
results as 20 essays have
been received for evaluation.
February Ist is the deadline.
A committee was appointed
to aid Mrs. Wilson in judging
these essays. Those accepted
as meeting state and national
standards will be submitted
for state approval. All fifth,
sixth, seventh, and eighth
grade students are eligible to
enter; content must be
historically based and essays
will be judged on accuracy of
content.
Approval was given to the
financial report of Miss
Eloise Beauchamp, building
treasurer, as she pointed out
and reported the cost of the
many improvements of the
chapter building The
Jackson Clubhouse.
Obtain Decals
Early, Chilivis
Warns Buyers
State Revenue Commis
sioner Nick Chilivus urges all
motor vehicle owners to
obtain their 1975 license
plates and renewal decals as
soon as possible. He said
today, “Not only will
Georgians avoid the possibi
lity of spending a considera
ble amount of time in a long
line at their county tax
commissioner’s office, they
will also avoid the penalties
which accrue to those
individuals who do not
purchase the tag or renewal
decal by April 1.”
Commissioner Chilivus al
so reminds all Georgians that
they must have No-Fault
automobile insurance when
they apply for their tags or
renewal decals this year.
Revenue Department Mo
tor Vehicle Director Pheron
Turner says the “Georgia
Motor Vehicle Accident Re
parations Act of 1974”,
commonly referred to as the
Georgia No-Fault Insurance
Law, will become effective in
two stages. First of all, when
you purchase your motor
vehicle license tag (or
renewal decal) on or after
January 1, 1975, you will be
required to certify on you
motor vehicle tag application
that you have a motor vehicle
liability policy which will
provide the minimum cover
ages required by the No-
Fault Law. The certification
on this year’s tag or decal
application consists of the
statement “I do certify that
the vehicle described herein
is covered by liability
insurance as required by the
Georgia Motor Vehicle Re
parations Act of 1974, as
amended”.
The second enactment
stage of the law becomes
effective as of March 1, 1975.
On and after that date, it will
be against the law for any
person to operate a motor
vehicle required to be
registered in Georgia, except
motorcycles, unless the vehi
cle has the minimum
coverage required by the
new No-Fault Law. The new

night or Wednesday morning
with the safe opened and an
undisclosed amount of cash
taken, according to Mrs. L.

Mrs. Spencer said she and
her husband left the office
about 3:30 o’clock Tuesday
afternoon. The burglary was
discovered Wednesday
morning when they arrived

Mrs. Spencer said they
believed entry into their
office was gained through the
office next door. She was at a
loss to explain how the safe
was opened in such expert
fashion without any external
show of force. Mrs. Spencer
said the person or persons
opened the safe and removed
cash, leaving out the drawer
and the cash box.

TAX PAYERS
BUTTS COUNTY, GEORGIA
During June 1974, our county began a program
designed to equalize property values within the County.
This program is merely an honest effort on the part of
our tax assessors to appraise ALL real and personal
property in Butts County at its fair market value. This
type program is recommended by the Sate of Georgia
for all Counties.
We are confident that ALL property values will
be equalized. The goal of this program is that when the
1975 taxes are paid, everyone will have paid a FAIR
PRO-RATA SHARE. These are the results that other
counties have experienced with similar programs.
We ask every citizen to fully cooperate with our
field workers who will be inspecting ALL property in
Butts County for the purpose of appraising this prop
erty at its fair market value.
Sincerely,
Butts County Commissioners
IN MEMORY OF MR.
LONNIE C. ETHRIDGE
In the month of January all
dreary and forlorn,
Came the sound that a little
boy was born.
From a baby to manhood he
grew from day to day,
Not knowing that one day he
would meet Zora Mae.
Early in marriage he told his
heart’s desire
To have some children to sit
with by the fire.
Thru trouble and hardship
the count grew to five,
There would have been six
but one didn’t survive.
Working very hard even
when weary it seemed
He labord each day to
provide his family their
needs.
And then one day Jesus the
Saviour he met
From that day on he told his
loved ones not to fret.
For though he might leave,
they could be together again
If only on God’s word they
would depend.
It’s been awhile since I saw
him with his smile and blue
eyes
For he went to be with Jesus
under February’s skies.
Though I’m only an in-law in
the family you see
It was a privilege to know
Mr. Lonne C. Ethridge.
