Newspaper Page Textpage 4 The Brantley Enterprise, Nahunta, Georgia, August 17, 1972 iiY T' u<. Comshuck weaving is one of many crafts displayed at Powers’ Crossroads Country Fair and Art Festival, near Newnan. (PRN) TOUR GEORGIA flcfocntakey NEWNAN (PRN) “There’s something for everyone!” This was the predictable if sometimes dubious promise of a bold barker at an old-time country fair. But the 1972 Powers’ Crossroads Country Fair and Art Festival, September 1-4, offers rich evidence of living up to such a promise -- and then some. Sprawling over 65 acres of rural woodland, the fair will feature live entertainment, country barbecue, and the works of more than 1500 talented artists and craftsmen. Although only in its second year, this ambitious enterprise has already won numerous awards and enthusiastically bills itself as the world’s largest arts and crafts festival. Exhibitors from 37 states, England, Mexico and Canada will display their special skills ranging from old-country arts to the most modern creations. There will be paintings, sculpture, photography, pottery, ceramics, glass, antiques, rocks and minerals. Craftsmen will show works of gold and silver, jade, wood, macrame, scrimshaw, needlework. Expert jewelers will fashion original designs alongside artisans weaving baskets and chairs from cornshucks. SUPPORT OUR ADVERTISERS. THEY MAKE THIS NEWSPAPER POSSIBLE. To the Citizens of Brantley County: I wish to express my deepest appreciation to you, the citizens and voters of Brantley County, for your support in the August Bth Democratic Primary. Your interest and support gave me a victory of 314 votes over my nearest opponent. The job is not complete. I urge you to return to the polls August 29th, and join with me to complete the task of electing “ Hilton Morgan ” your next court clerk. Ancient trees and wildflowers, winding creeks and nature trails form an inviting backdrop for exhibitors as well as for puppet shows, a roving organ grinder, on-the-spot caricature artists. Home canned foods, fresh fruits and vegetables, and ready-to-eat country delicacies including old-fashioned barbecue will tempt the visitor, who is likely to work up a substantial appetite if he attempts to experience everything the festival has to offer. Ample free parking spaces will be provided, and shuttle buses will carry visitors from parking areas to the fair and back on a regular basis without charge. Hours are from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. A nursery will be available for young children. The festival is situated on the grounds of an 18th century plantation, on Georgia Highway 34 between Newnan and Franklin. Powers’ Crossroads is approximately one hour’s drive from Atlanta. For further information on the “world’s largest” arts and crafts festival, write: Department of Industry and Trade, Tourist Division, P.O. Box 38097, Atlanta, Georgia 30334. THANK YOU ywimuiymDßfta I by the Georgia Consult Servi«< Program ? My daughter wants to enter a teenage beauty pageant. She has been told that if she wins she will receive a scholarship and other valuable prizes. The problem is that she has to pay a SIOO.OO registration fee, or solicit the fee from clubs or businesses that will “sponsor” her. I feel very uneasy about this, and we don’t have much money. Should she go ahead and enter the contest? Certainly not without careful investigation of the sponsoring organization. The fame and apparent glamour of the internationally known beauty contests have given almost every girl a dream of being a beauty queen. There’s nothing wrong with that, except that some unscrupulous operators create unimportant beauty pageants just to get money from the aspiring contestants. They may offer the contestant such glowing prizes as scholarships, talent and screen tests, wardrobes and free travel. The scholarship may turn out to be six months at a second rate charm school (and the winner may have to pay for part of it), the talent and screen test may consist of home movies and the wardrobe and travel may never materialize at all. Remember, too, there can only be a few winners of any contest yet twenty or thirty girls may have paid their hundred • dollars. That’s a lot of money for the promoter of the contest. There are certainly legitimate beauty contests, and many legitimate beauty contests do charge a registration fee. The thing for you to do is to be sure that the contest she wants to enter is on the up and up. First of Sincerely, Hilton Morgan QUESTIONABLE BEAUTY CONTESTS Eggoellent Ideas GEORGIA EGG COMMISSION Elizabeth Downey, Home Economics Coordinator Patty Swinford, Assistant ATLANTA (PRN) - Are you at a lost for something special for dinner?

Thompson, Jr. County Agent AUGUST GARDENING Gardeners have a tendency to slow down during the month of August. This is certainly understandable, at the weather is a bit warm at this time. There are a few activities, how ever, that need to be accomplished in order to keep flower, ing plants and shrubs looking their best. The most important activity is to check plants for insects. Azaleas and pyracantha are usually bothered by lace bug at this time, while tea scale will be evident on the new growth of camellias including the larger leaved japonicas and smaller leaved sasanquas. Marigold foliage often turns a mottled yellow by this time if red spider is a problem. Red spider and two spotted spider mites may attack many of the spreading junipers during the summer months. Evidence of mites on junipers is browning of the needles in the center of the plants. According to Rodney Coleman, Extension Entomologist, Ma lathion is quite effective against lace bug. The insecticide called Cygon is recommended to control mites and can be used safely on camellias and junipers. Chinch bugs may cause considerable damage to St. Augus tine grass during the months of July and August. If infes tations of chinch bugs are not controlled there is a possi bility that the lawn can be permanently damaged. Quite often browning of the grass will occur along the edge of the lawn first and then spread rapidly to other portions of the lawn. When these conditions occur in a St. Augustine lawn it is time to check for chinch bug. To check for chinch bug insert one end of coffee can open at both ends, about one inch deep into the lawn. This should be done in healthy grass close to injured areas. Fill the can with water to float any existing chinch bug to the top for posi tive identification. These insects are small, black and have white shiny wings folded on their backs. If these insects are found to be present plan to treat the lawn with either Diazon, VC • 13 or Ethion. For more information you may desire to obtain a copy of Leaflet No. 20 from the county Extension office.
