the building up.of more through
better VAivervOtion practices.
The only regret I have is
that many farmers are hesitant
aonut accepting the scientific
facts about farming. If they
were to wake up to the lad
i that the population of the world
iis increasing at a geometrical
I ra.te, while the food supply of
I the same is increasing at an
ai ithmetrical rate, they might
be more willing to accept the.-e
facts—since it is a proven fact
tiiat if this situation is not at
tended to immediately it won’t
be too far in the future tn at
there won't be any civilization
to worry about this grave prob
i lem.
This • last statement mignt
get next to the quick” of some
—but, yet, you must admit that
it is the truth. And this is the
thing that is wrong with the
present day man (not just the
farmer) —they want to live in
the past instead of the present.
In the good old day's—a world
of day dreams.
They think they have to abide
by the folk-lores and customs
of older generations. If nn'v
tney would accept the tramei
conservationists’ advice about
such things as strip cropping,
permanent and ’emporary pas
tures. rotations, fish ponds, 'er
recing, and other valuable ad
vue which they offer, they .nd
the future generations would be
much better off.

CHARTING THE ROAD
Visioning into the past,
Noting the path fore-fathers trod;
Keeping the homefires brightly
Pioneering for right and God
They met the days with forti
tude,
Inaudible in thought,
They did not shirk, but bravely
faced
Long days with danger frought.
Today there may be other
scenes,
Siow travel replaced by speed,
Yet that have chartered future
roads
To amplify all needs.
Strong footprints linger on
Times’ sand,
We must repay this debt;
And hold the ideals given us,
“Lest we forget. . .lest we for
get”.
Much that I am I owe to them,
And the land of the brave and
free,
With humble heart my thanks
submit,
For charting the road for me!

eight-room home.
A graduate of the Piedmont

club and community work. She

pose of organizing a Covington
High School chapter of the Na
tion High Schon} Football club.
Ako the Charter was presented
ar>' ■- constitution read.
Mr. V eaver acted as chairman
। un. u ,e pi uoent, Fred Kit
chens was elected. The other
i officers were chosen as follows:
Teddy Brown. vice-p.c -ident,
Jane Greer, secretary, Peggy
McNjven. treasurer and Jimmy
Edwards club reporter.
A motion was made and sec
onded that the club should meet
the first school day of each
month. It was also decided that
if a member missed a meeting
he or she should pay a fine and
if he missed another meeting in
succession, he should be brought,
before a court consisting of the
members of the club as jurors
and Mr. Weaver as judge. If a
member refused to pay the dues,
he will be brought before the
court.
The clubs’ project for the com

dents, faculty, and parents. Since
this is the first year, we hope
to get off to a good start and
really accomplish something.
Everyone’s cooperation during
this year will be appreciated by
all.

Disciple of Death
Scheduled For Sunday
It was an ingenious idea these 1
fellows had. They would smug
gle a valuable painting into the
country in a coffin containing
the body of an international
outlaw. But is was decided'v
disconcerting—when the corpse
got up and started taking pot
shots at his assassins, as told
during “The Disciple of Death. ’

Sunday, Jan. 9 (5 to 5:30 p. m.,

brings his uncanny powers into
play to trap the villians, re
cover the loot—and the body.
Grace Matthew's is heard as his
long-suffering girl friend, Mar
gct.
DESTROY POISON IVY
Horticultural specialists say
that poison ivey in an orchard
can be destroyed by using Am
mate, a non-poisonous sodium
sulphamate mixture. This mix
ture is available in many local
seed stores.
FARM MECHANIZATION J
De=p'te the rapid advance in I
farm mechanization in Georgia,
farmers in this state are general
ly less mechanized than else
where in the country except tn
neighboring states. About one
third of the crop land in Georgia
was broken by tractors in 1948.
