ANGEL TRUMPETS An annual scene of beauty in Butts County, the angle trumpets
at the home of Mrs. Arthur E. Stodghill, Sr. on McDonough Road were at the peak of their
beauty last week. The plants which grow to a height of seven feet or more are covered by
blooms such as those in the photo, which close when exposed to direct sun light. The Stodghills
have been very generous with their plants over the years and as a result angel trumpets are
blooming in many spots throughout Butts County each year at this time. Photo by Jerry

More in Butts County
Are Self Employed
NEW YORK, NOV. 8
The spirit of individual
enterprise continues to flou
rish in Butts County, judging
from the number of local
residents who start up new
businesses each year.
Despite the hazards in
volved in launching a
business, many are doing so
these days. Some of them,
desirous of being on their
own, are giving up their jobs
and the security of a weekly
paycheck to make the move.
Others, who have been out
of work for some time
because of the depressed
economy, are taking the step
in the hope of improving their

CARPET IS PRACTICAL
Most consumers purchase
carpeting because it is beau
tiful. This is true, but
carpeting is also very
practical. It not only covers
your floor, but serves also to
insulate and absorb sounds.
You will notice quite a
difference in noise levels
after carpeting your home.
Noise pollution in the home
is especially noticeable since
most homes are equipped
with a number of noise
making devices, such as
dishwashers, dryers, wash
ers, radios, televisions, re
cord players, and other
similar appliances which are
so popular today.
Don’t hesitate. There is no
better time to carpet your
home than right now. Come
to our shop and select from
our vast inventory of carpets.

situation.
These entrepreneurs com
bine whatever they have in
the way of savings and
whatever they can borrow
and make the big move.
Some of them buy exisiting
businesses and others start
brand new ones.
More than half of them get
into retail operations or
franchises of some sort.
Grocery stores and restau
rants are most popular,
followed by a variety of
service businesses. The chief
requirements are small
initial investment and low
overhead.
According to the latest
Commerce Department sta
tistics, there are some 280
residents of Butts County
who are making their living
from their own businesses or
professions.
They are the store Keepers,
the doctors, the farmers, the
contractors, the gas station
owners and such.
Being self-employed, they
no longer have such prob
lems meeting the monthly
rent bill, labor costs, sup
plies, sales volume and
competition.
Based upon the most
recent figures, approximate
ly 7.3 percent of the local
working population are self
employed. The proportion is
well above that in many
areas of the country.
Through the South Atlantic
States, 6.9 percent are in
business for themselves and,
in the State of Georgia, 7.2
percent.

Workshop On
Venerial
Disease
The second series of
Family Living Workshops
began Monday night, Novem
ber 3rd, at the Central
Georgia EMC auditorium at
7:30 p.m.
The workshop subject is:
“Venereal Disease,” and will
be presented by Jim Morgan,
a health program represen
tative from Griffin, and Mrs.
Carol Trimble, a Butts
County Public Health Nurse.
Mrs. Trimble states that
“Georgia has the third
highest rate of venereal
disease in the United States,
and Butts County has some
very serious problems.”
Mr. Morgan and Mrs.
Trimble will show slides of
venereal disease victims,
depicting the awesome ef
fects of the disease.
All workshops are free to
the general public. The
theme for all Family Living
Workshops is: “Love and its
Responsibilities.” The wrap
up will be presented by Mrs.
Byrd Garland.
On this past Monday night,
the Family Living Workshop
on “Moral Value Assess
ment” was presented to a
sizeable audience by Rev.
Donald Folsom, pastor of the
First Baptist Church of
Jackson. Rev. Folsom stress
ed the importance of young
people establishing strong
moral principles to fight off
their sexual urges and to
preserve the beauty of sex
until marriage. Avery lively
question and answer session
followed his presentation.
In stressing the need for
the general public to attend
these Family Living Work
shops, Edluie Darnelius
Walker states: “One of the
main purposes of sex
education is to provide a
basis for intelligent decisions
about sexual behavior. Im
portant decisions are best
made by thinking, reasoning
and using the brain when it is
free of highly emotional
situations.” He also stated:
“It is important that young
people are not pressured by
group reactions. Many young
people who are lacking in
self-confidence can be talked
out of a correct decision by
one aggressive person.”
With parents, ministers
and schools shying away
from sex education, it
became essential that these
Family Living Workships
whose theme is “Love and its
Responsibility” become a
reality.
The Workshops are being
sponsored by: The Butts
County Health Department,
Department of Family and
Children Services, Univer
sity of Georgia Extension
Service, Upper Ocmulgee
Economic Opportunity Com
mission, local ministers and
private citizens.

OLD MULCH AROUND
SHRUBS. DON’T REMOVE
Old mulch around your
shrubs does not need to be
removed each year. Some
gardeners remove this old
mulch each year and replace
it, but this isn’t necessary
usually. Only in situations
where here is heavy accumu
lation of decomposed organic
matter over four inches deep
around the shrubs would it be
desirable to remove the old
material.
It is possible to add new
material on top of an old
mulch without detrimental
effect. Some gardeners be
come concerned and re
move the mulch from around
shrubs when they notice a
mass of white fungus growth
inside the decomposing ma
terial. This is not necessary
since the fungi which cause
this growth are seldom
parasitic on plants but thrive
only on dead organic materi
al.
FALL LEAVES USEFUL
IN GARDENING
It doesn’t make sense that
some gardeners buy peat
moss yet dispose of their fall
leaves. Decomposed fall
leaves are just as effective as
is peatmoss as a soil
amendment. Leaf mold is
useful to work into the soil
prior to planting shrubs, in
preparing flower beds, and
as an ingredient in potting
soil mixtures. The humus
that results when leaves
decay usually increases the
water-holding capacity and
aeration of Georgia soils. It
has an amazing characteris
tic of transforming red clay
into a productive soil for
ornamentals such as azaleas
and camellias. Since leaf
mold is available without
cost, gardeners are more
likely to use adequate
amounts of the material to
make an effective change in
the soil structure.
Most leaves will decay
enough for gardening use if
placed in a pile for six to
eight months. The decom
position can be hastened by
adding a small amount of
fertilizer and lime. Also,
adding a small volume of
good topsoil will hasten
breakdown since the topsoil
furnishes the bacteria and
fungi that are needed for
rapid decomposition.
ALL THOSE RED BERRIES

berries but that its leaves are

yellow? This situation indi
cates that the plant is
hungry. It probably needs a
dose of nitrogen. Any time
you have a heavy crop of
berries you can bet that the
plant is under a strain. You
see, the nutrients that the
plant brings in through its
root system are piped
directly to the berries,
bypassing the needy leaves.
So you have the berries full of
good food and the leaves
hungry. If you have this
situation, it is alright to add
some fertilizer now In fact,
it will help take your plant
through the winter.
