In all probability you are
wondering why the weather
for the past month has not
appeared in the last issue of
our County paper. May I take
this opportunity to thank
Vincent Jones and Mrs.
Martha Jones and the staff of
the Progress Argus for
delaying the report.
I hope they can find time to
publish all I have to say this
time. You see, I must take
the time to thank, not only
the folks in Jackson and
Butts County, and especially
those in my neighborhood,
Biles Road, for their kind
ness, their thoughtfulness
and their consideration, but
also the many, many friends
and listeners I had in the
Griffin and Spalding County
area when I was with the
radio station there, and, I
mean the greatest group of
men on earth here at Deer
Trail Golf Club, for their
response.
Now, you are wondering
what response. This. I
always take my vacation
during the month of Septem
ber. In Niles, Ohio the
afternoons are pleasant, and
the nights are such that I can
catch up on my Blanket
Pressin’ time, if you know
what that means. This time,
it was not too much of
relaxin’ and havin fun trip.
The day after I arrived in
Niles, Ohio, my oldest sister
Mary passed away. There
fore, you understand why the
stay this year was not too
pleasant a one. Mary was the
eldest of our family’s five
children and you know how
my mother felt about that.
You have heard me talk
about how my father came
from the Old Country, etc.
Weli, despite the fact that my
mother and I were born in
Pennsylvania, she still
comes from foreign an
cestry and those people
can’t understand how their
children pass on before they
do. However, when I left my
mother on the morning of
October 6th in Niles, Ohio,
she was holding up fairly
well, and she sure thanks
everyone around here for
being so nice to her son. I
think she calls me her Pride
and Joy. I was the only boy.
On the weather I would like
to take this opportunity to
thank my friend and cohort
Taylor Foster for helping me
compile this past month’s
report. I left on the 14th of
September and this is the
way it was at that time,
weatherwise. There was six
tenths of an inch of rainfall
on the 4th; three tenths on
the sth and a quarter of an
inch on the 6th.
I always appreciate any
additional information I get
from other sources and in
talking to Hollis Griggs, he
told me of the unusual beauty
of the heat lightning during
the early morning hours of
the 9th of the month. Now to
prove a point on how the
temperature can vary here.
On the morning of the 10th of
September at seven a.m. it
was 69 degrees. Twenty -
hours later at seven a.m. it
was 45 degrees, a drop of 25
degrees in 24 hours.
Before I give a report on
the rainfall, I usually do
some of my mother’s laundry
when I am visiting with her.
On the Saturday morning of
September 25th, as I prepar
ed to leave my Mom’s house,
I noticed there was ICE all
over the car.
Now the rainfall for
September here at Deer Trail
Golf Club: It was sparse: So
sparse in fact that September
was the driest month of the
year. Only 1.33 inches. That’s
second only to April with 1.70.
Normally, October is the dry
month, that’s why they
schedule the Fairs at that
time.
Here is the rainfall thus far
this year as compared to this
time last year. Thus far this
year we’ve had 40.84 inches
of rain. At the end of
September 1975 we had 57.28
inches. Oh, yes, if you
thought this September was
dry let’s look at September,

1961, in the area we only had
1.46. Hold on, my friends,
October of that same year,
1961, we only had .05 of an
inch of rain and that was the
wettest year we had in this
area. Like to know what
about it? Call me.

On October 16, 1776, at
New York, the Committee of
Safety sent a letter to its
delegates in Philadelphia
reporting a critical shortage
in leather for soldiers’ shoes
because the cattle were
driven off to the Army at
Ticonderoga and feared the
hides would be lost from
lack of proper care. The
Committee wanted per
mission to recover the hides
as cattle were butchered
and would send agents to
do so.

This week’s recipe is a
specialty of Paul Fleischer’s.
It is rich, moist, Devil’s Food
cake with Chocolate Cream
Cheese frosting. Paul is a
careful baker, taking time to
follow all instructions, such
as sifting, cooling, etc., and
his extra trouble pays off. He
makes this cake for birth
days, and any special
occasion, and it is really a
treat. The longer the cake
sets, the more moist and
chewy it becomes, (but that
probably won’t happen, be
cause it never lasts very
long). This is a perfect recipe
to put in your file for the
holidays, or any time when
you want a delicious dessert.
DEVIL S FOOD CAKE

degrees. Cook and stir in a
double boiler over hot water:
4 oz. unsweetened chocolate
