Now if you’re saying to yourself "That’s a swell looking car,
but I couldn’t afford it,” we’d like a quiet word with you.
That car Is a Pontiac Catalina, lowest priced of the big Pontiacs. Catalina has everything that
makes a Pontiac a Pontiac—the superlative style, the extra-careful construction, the big-muscled
Trophy V-8 performance, the road-wedded Wide-Track ride. Everything. And, the price is very, very
right. It must be. After all, you don’t get into third place in sales just by selling cars to rich people.
Now, how about having a quiet word with your nearest Pontiac dealer. Wide-TrSCk POlltiaC
See your authorized Pontiac dealer for a wide choice of Wide-Tracks and good used cars, too.

This week marks the begin
ning of our most important
yearly job, that of crop meas
'urements. Practically every
thing we do is controlled in
one way or another by our
field work. Cotton, peanuts,
wheat, feed grains and divert
ed acres all have to be measur
ed in order to determine eli
gibilty for price support and
diversion payments.
This is a tremendous job
that requires many man hours
and much pay. It has to be
done in every agricultural
county in these United States
'as well as the Virgin Islands
and Puerto Rico. It would take
much research just to know
how many extra persons are
employed and paid to accomp
lish this task.
Just for camparison pur
poses consider Seminole Coun
ty. We are one of the smaller
counties in this state so you
might imagine what takes
place in larger counties. We
will measure some 12 to 13
thousand acres of peanuts,
possibly four thousand acres
of cotton, nine thousand acres
of feed grains and eight thou
sand acres of other land uses.
This adds up to a sizeable job
here at home. It will cost the
taxpayers about $5 000 to do
this work in Seminole. Os
\
sity of Miami for the Septem
ber 1064 term. He is a mem
ber of the Jesup Yellow Jack
et band where he plays' solo
bassoon and clarinet, and he is
a member of the allstate band.
He is the grandson of Mrs.
J. H- Hatcher.
course, this is not the total
cost of performance work in
our county because we have
not taken into consideration
the services' paid for by the
farmer, such as premeasure
ment, rechecks and disposi
tion.
We are often asked why we
use aerial photographs in our
work rather than chain meas
uring each field. Actually, we
answer that question with the
above comments. It is a mat
ter of time and money. In the
long run, photographs have
been found to be just as ac
curate and the work can be
done in a fourth of the time.
Charles Childree, Bob Pace
or Gerald Miller will visit
your farm sometime within
the next six weeks to measure
your crops and land uses.
When they do, won’t you go
with them and help in any
way possible to get a good job
done?
Mrs. Effie Sheffield has re
turned from the hospital in
Albany and wishes to express
her gratitude to her friends
for the lovely cards, trays and
flowers, and the many acts of
devotion and kindness which
they have shown her- She al
so wishes' to thank the doctors
and nurses here for their
goodness to her during her
illness.
