for some time turned up just be
fore Christmas at Miami, where it
had been stationed for several
months. The boys on the cutter
report a rough trip in the storm
which threatened to overturn the
cutter. John Frank Dearing and
Charley Berry, two Covington

this county were worried about
them and were thrilled to learn
that they reached port safely. A

It appears that Governor-elect
Eugene Trlmadge is going to shake
U P the State Highway Patrol when
he gets back into office. Or at
least it was strongly intimated in
the incoming Governor's weekly
papei. the Statesman, last week,
'Why should Talmadge, whom
everyone admits is charged with
gieve responsibilities, be inflicted
with men whose ideas run
with the present discredited state
administration?” the newspaper
asked. “It is indeed effrontery and
gall for them to want to be a part
of the Talmadge administration.”
The Trlmadge paper said that
when Safety Commissioner Lor.
Sullivan was a newspaper publish
er in Athens four years ago he was
“bent on banishing Talmadgeism
from the face of the earth.” The
article concluded: “So we say with
Mr. Sullivan (his editorial in Atb
ens Daily Times dated February ;
7, 1937) ‘it is right that others be
chosen.
The Statesman did not indicate
how Major Sullivan would be re
moved. His present term runs un
til May 1, 1943.
For egg production it pays to
buy U. S. Certified and U. S. R.

Prize Winning Poster In the “Stop Hitler Now Contest” Designed by

| Butts County Farmer
JACKSON, Georgia, Jan. 2 —
Neighbors who drop in for a:
visit and stay for dinner with the
F, L. Maddor this winter will
find plenty of fruits and vegetables
on the menu. And there’s a rea
son: During the summer and fall,
Mrs. Maddox and her daughter
canned nearly 750 quarts. The
pantry shelves are filled from top
' to bottom.
The Maddox family lives in the
Towaliga community of Butts
county. T If ere are four in the fam

Mrs. Maddox is a member of tht
Towaliga VHome
Cldb, an<f keeps in close touch
with Miss Myrtie Lee McGoogan
her home demonstration agent,
Both the children are Four - H
clubbers.
A long time ago Mrs. Maddox
1 realized that the secret of keeping
' the fam n y i n g00 d health was
through the right choice and prep
aration of food. Then in early 1940
her home demonstration club
members selected Mrs. Maddox to
carry out a pantry demonstration
project. And with it, she has done
* well,
Today this Butts county house
wife has concrete evidence that
home preservation of foods is not
a had idea. Her nearly 750 quarts
i ot fruits, vegetables and meais are
worth around $175 in cash ana
much more than that amount
when considered from a health
standpoint. She has more than
doubled the recommended canning
