PET of the WEEK
by
Dale Whiten
Arthur and Edna Gilmore
who live on Jackson Lake
recently built their cat.
Smoky Joe, a house of its
own.
Smoky Joe’s house is
two-story, fully carpeted and
has a full-glass window on
the second story so that
Smoky Joe can observe the
goings-on from his cozy
abode which he stays in a lot
on cold and rainy days.
Mr. and Mrs. Gilmore said
Smoky Joe’s having his own
house also helps him guard
his food from their two dogs
which Smoky Joe seems to
have an amiable relationship
with except perhaps at
feeding times.
In addition to his own
house, the yellow-and-white
Smoky Joe also has a rocking
chair (in Mr. and Mrs.
Gilmore’s house) which he
claims for his own and which
he seems to prefer not to
have people sit in.
His rocking chair has his
toy spools tied to it to keep
the mischievous Smoky Joe
entertained and occupied.
And he manages to keep
himself busy and happy most
of the time whether it be
grabbing Mr. Gilmore’s golf
balls when he’s practicing
putting or tussling with his,
owner, a game Mr. Gilmore
.says can get pretty rough
and he has scratches on his
arm for proof.
But Mrs. Gilmore said
Smoky Joe’s latest and most
playful game is his stealing
minnows from the minnow

Medical authorities and
law enforcement officials are
alarmed over the increasing
use of “goof balls” and “pep
pills” by teenagers. Author
ities have good reason for
concern since the unpre
scribed use of these drugs
can lead to drug addiction.
Goof balls are barbiturates
and pep pills are ampheta
mines. Both are available
through legal channels only
upon prescription from a
physician. However, these
drugs are being obtained by
criminals through illegal
means and are sold to
teenagers who take them for
“kicks.”
The compounding and
dispensing of drugs is our
business —a very serious
business. We follow your
doctor’s prescription to the
letter and you should take
only the prescribed dosages.
Allow us to safely compound
your prescription.

Mrs. Gilmore said her
grandchildren love to visit

favorite pastime of theirs.
CARD OF THANKS
I wish to thank all those
friends who remembered me
with flowers, cards, food, and
other kindnesses during my
stay in Griffin-Spaldiing
County Hospital, as well as
since I have returned home.
Every expression of concern
has meant much to me and
my family. -Bessie B.

Coffee Hints
Never boil coffee, since
boiling brings out the tannic
acid in the bean and makes
for a bitter as well as a
cloudy brew. If coffee is
ground in the household, it
should be done in small
quantities in a clean grinder.
Store ground coffee in a
tightly-closed jar in the
refrigerator.

IN APPRECIATION
To Mrs. Ouida Hamil White
(Mrs. John F.) of Savannah,
Georgia, this article is
dedicated, for her kindness in
sending me the British
American Chronicle, which
was printed in 1970 for her
work in London, England in
running the lines of a
common ancestor she has
with me, this name, Hamil
(Elililletc according to the
many spellings of the name).
I arfl getting through two of
the lines of two officers in the
Revolutionary War for my
self in honor of the William
Mclntosh Chapter D.A.R. of
Jackson of which I have been
a member for almost a half
century.
It is with great interest I
note the ten Barons, the
Kings and other lines she has
traced. I am very proud of
her and most appreciative.
Of much interest are her
meetings with Queen Eliza
beth and her speeches over
the BBC, London, England.
It might be of interest to
others who like genealogy,
which is the tracing of names

the Alhambra, also in
Andulusia on the Mediter

out of Spain the Moors,
because of their refusal to
sign Catholic papers.

often in Ancient Arabic
