REPRESENTATIVE
OF PET MILK CO.
SPEAKS AT ROTARY
Dairying vs. Cotton was the sub
ject discussed Tuesday at Jefferson
Rotary by Joe Congdou of Royston,
who was introduced by David Har
dy, program chairman.
Mr. Cogdon is a representative
of the Pet Milk Company, which has
plants at Washington and at Roys
ton..
At an early date the company
will begin operating seyen trucks
out of Royston, covering territory
within a radius of thirty miles from
Royston. These trucks will take up
milk .daily from all parties who have
milk to sell in this area. They will
buy any amount offered for sale.
One gallon of milk sold each day
for one year, the speaker said, will
bring as much profit as a bale of
Cotton. A cow that produces an av
erage of three gallons each day will
bring as much income as three bales
of cotton.
All-year pastures are very necessa
ry factors in producing a profit in
milk.
Georgia is very much better
adapted to dairying than Wisconsin
which has three cows to every Jour
people, while Georgia has one cow
to eleven people. Milk cows saved
many Georgia farmers from bank
ruptcy in the early boll weevil days.
Grow plenty of feed together with
good pastures means that milk
cows will produce their owners a
profit.
The Pet Milk Company will furn
ish all equipment necessary in
which the milk is kept until taken
up by the truck drivers at a small
cost, and a certain percent of the
pay for the milk will be withheld to
remunerate the company. Any per
son who has surplus milk will no
doubt be glad to sell to the com
pany and if he finds the business
profitable, will increase the number
of dairy cattle. A business of this
kind gives the dairyman ready cash
every day in the year.

many fine old Churches, schools,
homes and places of interest that
the historians are becoming in
creasingly interested in and which
are drawing cards for the tourist

mer months in the mountainous
sections of Northern Georgia. This

A WORTHY TRIBUTE
TO LOCAL CITIZEN
(Contributed)
We would like to pay tribute to
one of our citizens who has devoted
his entire effort to full time Chris
tian duty since Feb. 20th. He is Mr.
J. C. Alexander who had supervised
the building of the new Sunday
School rooms at the First Presby
terian Church. He *not only supers
vised but took an active part in the
actual labor in the project from be
ginning to end. He worked hard
and faithful and saved the church
many dollars through his fidelity
and love for his church. I wonder
how many of us would give two and
a half months of our time to the
Lord’s work. Mr. Alexander brings
to mind Mr. Roy LeCraw a former
mayor of Atlanta, who recently
gave one year of his life to full time
Christian work on a gratis basis.
Men like this are invaluable to their
churches and to their communities
and we are indeed fortunate to have
such a man as Mr. Alexander among
us.

AWARDS—
__ (Monday Morning Assembly)
The various civic organizations of
Jefferson are interested in the school
and in the boys and girls who make
up the school. They know that these
boys and girls will be citizens of the
town and community in the near
future. They know that if boys and
girls are to be useful citizens they
must net limit their knowledge to
facts laid down in text books but
must develop many traits that will
be useful in making a living and
in making a life. With this idea in
mind, the cvici clubs have offered
small rewards for excellence of
achievement in activities that tend
to promote good citizenship.
The Village Club, the American
Legion Auxiliary, the Civic Im
provement Club and the Woman’s
Club have offered scholarships to
Girls’ State, which will be held at
Wesleyan College, sometime in
June. These girls were chosen from
the tenth grade by the high school
faculty. In selecting these girls, the
faculty tried to choose those who
would creditably represent the
school, who had qualifications for
leadership, and who would be able
to give others the benefit of the
training they would receive. These
scholarships were awarded to Vera
Davis, Jayne Staton, Nell Tolbert,
and Martha Wilbanks.
The American Legion is sponsor
ing two boys to Boys’ State, to be
held at Warm Springs, from June 5
to June 11. These boys were chosen
in the same manner as the girls.
These scholarships were given to
Billy Crenshaw and Carlisle Ray.
The members of the U. D. C.
know that prospective leaders are
influenced by a study of the lives
of great leaders. This year they
sponsored an essay contest with the
life of John B. Gordon, a great
Southerner, as the subject. At as
sembly on Monday morning, Mrs.
Ccott Murphy, who holds a state of
fice in the U. D. C., presented prizes
to Annette Crumley of the fifth
grade, Roberta Crumley of the sixth
grade, Jackie Marlowe of the sev
enth grade and to Virginia Payne
and Vivian Simmons in the high
school. Samuel Shirley, Henry Al
len, Joyce Canup, received honora
ble mention for their essays.
The Fine Arts Department of the
Woman’s Club, Mrs. C. B. Boggs,
chairman, offered a prize of $5 to
the pupil making the most progress
in music this year. Mrs. Ralph El
lington presented this award to
Jackie Brooks.
For several years the American
Legion ha? offered Citizenship Me
dals to the boy and girl who best re
present their idea of good citizen
ship. Mr. Jimmy Smith presented
these medals to Grace Porter and
Terreli Benton. He also presented
to the school a beautiful bronze
plaque with the names of the win
ners inscribed thereon.
Mrs. M. M. Bryan, Sr., chairman
Department of Citizenship of the
Woman’s Club, offered prizes for
the essays written on the subject,
“I Am Glad I Am an American.”
Mrs. Southworth Bryan presented
these prizes to Jerry Copas, first;
Jimmy McMullan. second, and Ter
rell Benton, third.
MUSIC RECITAL
The mmebers of the music class
taught by Mrs. R. D. Gasaway will
