FEBRUARY
You’re the shortest month in all the year
But the most renowned for birthdays,
George Washington and Abe Lincoln,
Whom we appreciate,
Were Presidents born in February!
You’re the loveliest month in all the year
With your candy hearts and loving ways,
Unless Leap Year brings an extra day
There are twenty-eight!
Saint Valentine comes in February!
You’re a special month in all the year
When my friends and I have birthdays,
We make the most of this short month
When we celebrate
Our natal days in February!

The EMCs entrance into
the generating field through-
OEMC is significant from a
number of standpoints. First
and foremost, it will help to
insure an adequate supply of
electric energy for the future
and help retard the rate of
increases at which electric
bills have been climbing the
past few years. For instance,
it is estimated that over a
twelve to fourteen year
period, OEMC can save the
Georgia consumers approx
imately S4OO million in
energy rates and be com
pletely self-sufficient in its
own operations.

“An Aid To Smart Appearance”
Rep. Tucker Expresses
Hope For Second Judge
Rep. Ray M. Tucker, prominent
McDonough attorney and representative of the
73rd district, expressed continued hope this week
for passage of legislation which will create a
second judgeship in the Flint Judicial Circuit
despite a recommendation from the State Judicial
Council of Georgia that there be only one judge for
the time being.
Rep. Tucker said, “Everything is
contingent upon the State Judicial Council
reversing its recommendation. They are meeting
again February 8 and I hope they can be
persuaded to reconsider. They must be convinced
of the need for an additional judgeship.”
Rep. Tucker represents the Worthville
district of Butts County in the 73rd district, that
being the only portion of Butts County in Mr.
Tucker’s jurisdiction.
