Mrs. Miller Moelchert is
looking into this phase of the
activity.

During the last few years,
the beautification contest has
inspired the citizens of Butts
County to make their county
a nicer place in which to live.
Many improvements have
been made, but there is still
plenty of room for further
advancement. Butts
Countians have benefitted
greatly in their inspired
efforts of adding new
attractiveness to this area. In
this day and time it does cost
money to effect come of the
changes desired. If you
would be interested in
lending a financial hand,

PRESENT FOR US.
Give America a present on
her birthday—plant a tree. It’s
a good way of saying thanks
to a country that’s been good
to us. Nothing dignifies the
home, the community, or the
country as much as trees. The
Extension Service, through
county agents, is offering two
tree-planting projects for the
Bicentennial. Check with
your agents for further infor
mation.
