There are many reasons for
spreading the Reunion over a per
iod of two days this year. This
Reunion has grown to be the
1 greatest annual event in North
Georgia. It is, therefore, impos
sible in one day to hear all the;
noted speakers and song leaders
I who wish to appear on the pro

thousands of people who would
like to attend the Reunion cannot
do so because they have to
on Saturday. It is felt that these
working people should be given
the opportunity to attend North
Georgia's famous annual celebra
; tion.
The session on Saturday will be
similar in every respect to the
Reunions that the people have
learned to enjoy during the past
35 years. The day will be devoted
mainly to patriotic speeches, but
there will ’be music am. singing

allowance o , goo.. , , ay an , ___I |
-
should be watered at mid morning j
and mid afternoon. If they get
very hot they should be allowed
to cool for 20 to 30 minutes.
Any sign of over heating should
be notpd and the animal should
j be placed in the shade immediate
ly and thoroughly showered with
water f res h from a well or spring
ice water is still better. Especial
