Because of this bill retail dealers' may shortly no tice an increase of as much as five cents per carton on cigarettes from the wholesalers and I suppose this price increase will have to be passed on to the public as most all price increases are. "Even only 34 members of the House of Representatives voted against this bill when it was passed, I hope that enough members who voted for it will join us who voted against it and help us to repeal the bill. It is certainly a sorry piece of legislatioin in my estimation,” Mr. Barber concluded.

Thursday, March 17, 1949 JIMMIE MC MULLEN JOSEPH CODY BUY CANADIAN JERSEYS j J. L. Mc-Mullan, livestock consul tant with the State Department of Education, and Jason Chandler, Jas per County Farm Agent, have re turned from a trip to Canada where they purchased a car load of regis tered Jersey cattle. The cows were unloaded at Monticello and at Winterville for distribution among Future Farmers of America and 4-H Club members. The heifers are from some of the highest producing dams of Ontario’s best dairy herds and cost an aver age of $2lO each. Two of these heifers were pur chased by Jimmie McMullan and Joseph Cody, two Jackson County Future Farmers. From careful feed ing and grooming of these animals, the boys expect at an early date to win blue ribbons. Mr. McMullan says that in Canada it is necessary for dairy farmers to keep their cows in barns for six to eight months of the year. And many of them have to buy part or all pf their feed because the growing sea son is so short. "We have an ideal climate for growing our feed crops and keep ing year-round pastures,” McMul lan observed. "We don't need heated barns. We have all of the natural advantages for livestock produc tion.” When the cows were unloaded in Monticello, they refused to eat out side of a barn and sniffed at any food except Canadian hay. Shortly after the unloading the heifers were turned out in a field of clover. But the Georgia diet didn’t appeal to them. They also insisted on drinking out of buckets, as they had never drunk branch water. THYATIRA Church News Sunday School 10 a. m., W. L. Bar nett superintendent. Church Service 11 a. m.

MAC BARBER ADDRESSES ROTARY CLUB ON TUESDAY The young representative from Jackson County, Mac Barber of Commerce, spoke to the members of the Rotary Club Tuesday. The pro gram chairman, Col. Geo. West moreland introduced Col. Davis, who in turn introduced the speaker. Mr. Barber, who served his first term in the legislature during its recent session, gave his personal reactions to the job of law making. Commenting upon the statement that the present House and Senate are the hardest working in the his tory of the General Assembly, Mr. Barber stated that he entirely agreed. In fact, bills were passed so rapidly and in such large numbers' it is doubtful that they were, or could be, read by all the elected representatives. Citing the cigarette bill as an example, Mr. Barber said that many voted for it without knowing its contents. Mr. Barber believes that the Min imum Foundation Program is a step in the right direction, if and when the money can be raised. For edu cational purposes, Jackson Qounty alone would receive annually $165,000 more than is now avail able. Speaking of the re-registration Bill, the speaker reminded the Ro tary members that they had from noy until May 1950 to re-register. The members of Rotary were im pressed with the sinccrety and forth-rightness with which he spoke on all issues. Col. Davis concluded the program by speaking briefly on his "Cadillae for-every Veteran” bill.
