i mentations of a referendum,
i which would provide adequate
funds for capitol investments
and operations of the needed
i recreation facilities.
3. We further recommend
that adequate funds be made
available for leadership.
These recommendations
came after several weeks of
study and discussion. The re
creation study committee has
met several times with a rep
resentative from the Georgia
Recreation Commission, John
i Davis, and with other profess
ional recreational specialists.
The committee represents a
group of approximately 60 in
terested citizens throughout
( the county. Members of the
committee are Chester Lee,
chairman, Luther Spooner,
Mrs- Gibson Youmans, Char
lies Bridges and Walter Dan
|iels.
Through the state recrea
tion enabling law, the county
commissioners, by their own
motion, can establish a recrea
tion board and appropriate
funds for the operation of a
recreation program for all
citizens.
The enabling law also auth
orizes county commissioners
to call for a referendum which
would make funds available
for the construction of recrea
tion facilities and the opera
tion and maintenance of a
program.
Furthermore, it provides
that interested citizens' may,
by petition signed by 10 per
cent of the registered voters,
ask the county commissioners
to call for such election.
Charles Bridges, a spokes
man for the committee, point
ed out the tremendous need
for recreational opportunities
for all the people in the coun
ty. He said, “Recreation is a
growing community service
and is widespread in Georgia.
Once our citizens decide that
we can develop a recreation
system, we, too, can enjoy the
wonderful experiences gained
through such opportunities.”

Seminole’s rain

many changes in farming
practices since he has been
here.
“Back in those days, prac
tically all the work was done
by hand and with mules. There
were very few tractors,” he
commented- He saw Donalson
ville double in size, then wit
nessed the changes that mech
anical farming made in the
rural population of Seminole.
One of the first things the
Pattersons did when they ar
rived in 1929 was to join the
First Baptist Church. Patter
son has served as teacher of
the men’s Sunday School class,
church clerk and Sunday
School secretary. On Sunday
night, members of the church
honored the Pattersons and
the Ken Nelsons, departing
choir directors, with a recep
tion at the church.
Patterson saw his church
grow in membership and ac
tivities, too. He has seen
changes all around him, but
he says the weather situation
is about the same, since it’s
always changing.
Patterson has a complete
record of daily, weekly, mon-
I thly, and every other category
. of rainfall during the 17 years
!he kept the records. He says
the driest year he saw during
that time was 1954 when 26.42
inches were recorded, and the
wettest was 1 1948 with 73.00
inches.
Patterson has always been
helpful to reporters and oth
ers interested in the rainfall
records. He has enjoyed giv
ing information to them, and
he says he’ll miss that part
of his routine. He says he has
had many inoueries from man
y places, seeking varied kinds
of rainfall records, and he ad
mits he liked the “fame” the

W) Apple-pie order comes easy
when your kitchen is flameless electric!
You cut yourself a large portion
of pleasure when you decide on a
modern all-electric kitchen.
For one thing, your kitchen
stays cooler, does the cook!
Surely, there’s heat with electric
cookery but only on the bottoms
of pans where it should be.
Since electric cooking units have
no flame, consume no oxygen, they
produce no by-products to grime

RECEIVES KEYS Thirty-three Ford dealers in the
Ford Division’s Jacksonville sales district have been
awarded replicas of the new Mustang that was the official
pace car in the 500-mile Indianapolis Memorial Day race.
They were awarded to the dealers for outstanding sales*
performance in a contest which ran from March 10 to
April 30. Shown receiving his keys from S. J. Obringer,

service brought him.
So it’s not at all a matter
of running away from 1 work
in the rain recording field.
After all, 1964 started out in
such a wet way, he’s already
measured only about 13 inches
less than a year’s worth.
And now that he’s headed
for the golden west, he leaves
friends with a suspicion that
he’ll be keeping close watch
on the western weather. If
California is really as sunny
as they say, he’ll probably
find some way to measure
sunshine, for he’s not the type
to just sit there and do “as
little as I can,” no matter
what he claimed as he left.
