blessed with loyal and
devoted friends whose

lose or draw, I am grateful
for the largest vote ever
given to a Congressman in

Butts County were most
generous in giving me a vote
of over three to one. It is my
purpose and intention to
continue to serve the people
of our district, state and

ability.
“When I was first elected
to the Congress I made an

nevertheless binding con
tract. to serve the people of
our district as long as you
want me to. I intend to do just
that. That means that I am a
candidate for re-election in
1978.”

Form on Goals
In Education to
Be Distributed
A questionnaire on educa
tional goals desired by
individuals will be sent to as
many citizens as possible in
Butts County according to
Larry Morgan, chairman of
the Butts County Goal-
Setting Committee.
He has requested that aU
citizens return the question
naire to him at the C & S
Bank, to committee mem
bers, the county school
superintendent’s office, or to
one of the schools.
The committee has stated
that an educational goal is a
decision a student should
have made upon graduation
from high school. An ex
ample: To learn sufficient
skills to enter a specific field
of work or to choose a
specific field of educational
pursuit.
The committee has said it
believes that the only way to
establish educational goals
that are truly representative
for the citizens of Butts
County is for everyone to
express the goals they desire
for their own children.
Morgan said that the
questionnaire will be ready
in the near future and for
citizens to recognize the
“value of it when it arrives.”
The committee plans to
send the forms by students
and to distribute them to
civic clubs and organiza
tions, churches, and other
groups.
B. H. Hodges
Still Active
At Age 87
Probably a lot of the people
in Bults County remember a
man who for many years
consistently brought in the
first bale of cotton in the
county, or a man who owned
and ran a small country
store.
But probably more people
will remember B. H. (Har
vey) Hodges, an 87-year-old
native of Butts County, as a
man who served the county
for almost a quarter of a
century in the political field.
His political career was
broad and distinguished. He
served as a county commis
sioner for 18 years. Then he
served in the state house for
two years and in the state
senate for one year.
Mr. Hodges is, of course, a
retired farmer. He has been
active in Masonic w’ork for
most of his adult life and
recently received his 50-year
pin.
Mr. Hodges and the late
Mrs Elizabeth Fincher
Hodges have one daughter,
Mrs. Ruth Presley of
Jackson. He also has two
grandchildren. Bill and Tom
my Preslev.
