The Jackson Herald Volume 75. 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. NOBLE W. JACKSON BURIED FRIDAY AT STATHAM Funeral services for Noble W.

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.
