THE COVINGTON NEWS
Local Contractor Builds Homes
And Stores of Total Value of
$80,000 During Past 15 Months J
E, S. (Buddy) Rheberg, for 20
years one of Covington’s leading
contractors, has since January 1,
1939, built or remodeled home*
and stores in the Covington area
representing a total investment of
more than $80,000 and at the pres
ent time employs twenty men.
Mr. Rheberg attributes this
good business record to the fact
that he uses only the latest equip
ment in his work, including a
DeWalt woodworking machine, a
very modern machine which is i
used for cutting, ripping, boring,
and other duties; and an electric
lointer, planer and handsaw. This
superior equipment results in
greater accuracy and makes pos
sible occupancy at an earlier date
than would otherwise be possible.
Some of the business houses re
modeled by Mr. Rheberg during
the past year include: Callaway
Company, Masonic building, Rog
ers Superior Market, Andrew's
Cafe, W. Cohen Company, the
Shirt Factory, and the recently
burned Wheeler’s Store.
Some of the residences he has
built during the past several
months or now has under con
struction include: the James Ben
ton home in Mansfield. Ed Pierce
home, Claude Jordan home and
Mrs. Hill’s home (Mrs. Hill is
formerly of New York).
Mir. Rheberg was also contract
or for the local bowling alley and
at present is building the New Sa
lem Hotel.

New Drivers’
License Ready
On April 15th
Major Lon Sullivan, Depart- | 1
ment of Public Safety Commis-1 l
sioner, announced today the re
newal for drivers licenses will be
gin April 15. *
“Present licenses,” he said, “ex
pire in June, and applicants who'
hold valid permits but fail to re
new before that time must stand
the safe driver examination be
for they can obtain new ones.”
Major Sullivan said the renewal
process is much simpler than it
was last year and should speed up
the issuing process. Application ;
blanks will be available either the
last of this week or the first of
next, at filling stations, police and
sheriff’s offices, garages, and dis
trict state patrol and sub district
stations.
The license fee is the same as
it wa slast year: $1 for an oper
ator’s permit, which most drivers
hold, and $2 for a chauffer's li
cense which all for-hire drivers,
chauffers, bus and truck operat
ors, or anyone else who makes his
living driving motor vehicles must
obtain.
Steps in the process are: (1) get
an application blank and fill it in
correctly; (2) attach the stub from
the top of the old license and a
money order or cashiers check;
(3) mail application, stub, and ,
money order or check to Depart
ment of Public Safety, Box 1741, |

Plans Progress for
Atlanta Cattle Show
Indications point to Atlanta’s
fifth annual Fat Beef Cattle show

Commerce. Cully A. Cobb, chair

committee, said more than 100
members of Four-H and Future
Farmers of America clubs through
out Georgia are expected to take
part in the show, which will be
held at the stockyards at 4 Brady
Avenue, N. W.
The grand champion and the
reserve champion will be award
ed gold watches instead of loving
cups as in the past. In addition,
more than $700 in prizes will be
awarded winners of various events
Other activities include the live
stock grading school, auction of
