Yellow Daisy Festival
At Stone Mountain Park
STONE MOUNTAIN
(PRN) •- Mountain musicians
will be rolling up their
coveralls and greasing down
their bow strings because this
year’s Yellow Daisy Festival at
Stone Mountain Park is going
to open up with a
foot-stomping, fiddle-sawing
good time. The festivities
begin on Friday, Sept. 15,
when country and western
bands from all over the state
will open the musical program.
Saturday, Sept. 16, is
bluegrass time as the Park
hosts a folk music contest.
Both contests will be held
at the new, 7500-seat covered
arena.
Howard Cunningham will
be the Master of Ceremonies
for the country and western
music contest with “The Men
of Country Music" of

Tim McCabe, Atlanta
What does a feline
have to do
with an electric line?
Unwanted, abandoned by the roadside, this tiny kit
ten was rescued by the Atlanta Humane Society. And
now is snug, tummy-full.
With a bequest of stock, the Society became one
of our more unusual investors. You may know some
of the others, too. A lady at the bake sale. A math
teacher from high school. Or the farmer who grows
your morning melon. Altogether, some 121,000 men
and women are direct investors in this company and
its parent firm, The Southern Company.
Many more people are indirect owners. For ex
ample, insurance companies, mutual savings banks
and pension funds have investments in electric util
ity companies all over the nation. This gives millions
of Americans an indirect financial interest in the
industry. The money invested helps to build plants,
lines and other facilities required to assure your
supply of electricity.
So, you see, companies such as ours, serving
just about everybody, are owned by just about every
body. Chances are. that includes you, too.
Georgia Power Company

Why not? Because your cancelled check is foolproof

also helps you establish your credit and keeps your

4 H SMALL PETS
A 4-H small pet project
might center on a family cat or
dog or bowlful of goldfish.
And it might expand to any
size. . .like a commercial
tropical fish business or regis

pace with a kid’s desires, abil

generally are inexpensive to get

PLAY IT SAFE
Thinking about mixing two
or more spray materials to
increase the range of pest
control? Here’s a word of
caution from Extension Service
specialists. Check first to be
sure the different chemicals are
compatible. Some materials,
when mixed, undergo a
chemical reaction and form a
new compound that could be
damaging if sprayed on plants.
SWING WITH SUEDE
Suede is special for fall ’72
in fashion footwear, handbags,
belts and outerwear, according
to Margie Mclntyre, University
Extension home economist.
Suede is leather turned inside
out and buffed to a soft
velvety nap. Don’t confuse it
with “split” leather, which is a
cowhide and can be identified
by its rough “brushed” nap.
