Train Elected |
:
Continued from Page 1 I
ing that time Mr. Train was assist
ed bv R. R. Revnolds. At the end
of that season, Mr. Train returned |
to the Superintendent’s office un- |
der Mr. Newton, who was replac- |
ed in January 1941 by John S. |
Turner. :
In September 1941, Mr. Train |
entered the U. S. Navy, where
he was 6on 'duty for 4 years. He
was separted with the rank of
Lieutenant-Commander. {
He was back at work with the |
Bibb in Macon in 1945, working |
out of Mr. Hertwig's office untill
made comptroller in 1948. |
After that his advance was‘
rapid. He was put in charge ofi
the Cotton Department at the
death of Mr. Barnes, and was
made Vice-President in the Fall
of 1951. He became a director in |
1952, and was elected Executive |
Vice-President in the Fall of 1954, |
continuing in that capacity and in |
charge of the Cotton Department |
until his elevation to the Presi- |
dency last week. =
Hugh M. Comer joined the Bibb |
in 1938, after graduating from'
Emory University and Harvard'
School of Business. He worked in
the Discounting Department un-
Al entering the U. S. Navy |
1942 where he served 4 years in'
the Pacific area. ;
He returned to work in 1946, |
gerving in the Efficiency Depart- ’
ment and later becoming Com- |
pany Statistician. He was made |
Comptroller in 1951, in which |
capacity he has since served.
Burrus B. Snow has worked all |
his career with the Bibb, starting ‘
in 1924. He has worked through |
practicaily every job in the mills, |
and there is probably no con- |
struction nor piece of machinery
with which he is not familiar. Mr.
Snow was sent to Porterdale in
1044 as General Superintendent
of the Porterdale Mills, and in;
1947 he was made Agent of the
Company at Porterdale. |
At the meeting at which the
elections and promotions took |
place, Chairman Hertwig reported |
that “our business was reasonably t
good for the present quarter, and
it is hoped that the demand will |
carry forward to the new year.” |
Mr. Hertwig was enthusiastic a- |
bout the selections in the Com
pany’s official family, and had |
nothing but optimism for the fu
ture direction and operation.

|iasm for the school, which has |
|gained a national reputation forl

| More than 16,000 Cub Scouts,
Boy Scouts, Explorers, and
many of their adult lead-|
{ers of the Atlanta Area Council |
' will climax their part in their
‘;nationwide Get-Our-the Vote
[campaign on Saturday November
(3.
g On that day, along with nearly |
(four million fellow members a- |
|cross the nation, they will call |
lon a total of 35,000,000 homes
|and leave on front doorknobs a
lLiberty Bell hanger urging citi
|zens to vote.
| They have been conducting a
nonpartisan campaign, without
reference to any candidate or
party. It has been sponsored joint- |
ly with Freedoms Foundation, |
Inc., of Valley Forge.
The message on the Liberty |
Bell hanger reads:
| ‘“Heed youth’s call. Vote as you
| think, but vote November 6, 1956. |
|Use your freedom to vote.”
| Househelders will be asked to |
|display thesg hangers in theiri
windows indicating their intens |
!tion to vote. |
{ Dr. Arthur A. Schuck, Chief
| Scout Executive, said that “the |
lgreater number of people that
| turn out to vote, the greater will |
|be true democracy in action.” |
[ Recognizing the importance of |
| free elections,” Dr. Schuck con- |
| tinued, “ nearly four million |
' members of the Boy Scouts of
| America are participating in a;
Inonpartisan Get-Out-the-Vote |
Icampaign. Scouts will demon-‘
[strate that thev are participating |
| citizens by doing their best to |
|instill in adults a determination |

;and responsibility to exercise
I‘their rights as free people taking
|an active part in our government.
| “This Get-Out-the-Vote Good
[Turn, and the spirit whichb
{prompts it, can reach deep into |
|the hearts of boys, helping them |
|to become more thoughtful mem- i
ibers of their community and their |
nation. We are eager that Cub |

[shall receive spiritual values of |
!dedicated citizenship through par- |
[ticipating in this project.”
| Mr. Kenneth D. Wells, Presi- |
'dent of Freedoms Foundation, E
|says:
| “The 1956 Get-Out-the-Vote |
‘program, involving more Ihan;
| four million Boy Scouts and lead- |
lers in all precincts in America, isg
|the greatest single effort for good |

; .
Meets Saturday
| |
The Newton County Education |
Association will meet Saturday,
| November 3, at 8:30 p.m. in the
| Newton County High School audi
torium for the annual In-Service
Education Day. |
After studying the School
Health Guide issued last spring
for the Georgia Department of |
| Education and the Georgia De-|
' partment of Public Health, the !
| teachers of the County decided !
to give this day to the study of
the School Health Program. {
A coamittee composed of Mrs.;
W. I. Allgood, M. D. Mcßae, Mrs.i
C. S. Mitcham, Mrs. L. L. Harwell, |
H. F. Sharp, E. D. Whatley, Mrs. |
J. W. Loyd, Miss Louise Reeves, |
| and Superintendent E. L. Ficquett |
' met to make plans for the day. |
The theme decided on was |
| “Health Education — the Op- |
| portunity and Responsibility of |
| Every Teaeher.” i
| Three areas of Health Educa- |
| tion will be considered: (1) Health |
! Instruction (which includes Nu- |
i trition and Environment). The |
ispeciaflist in this field will be|
Dr. Floride Moore of the Univer- |
| sity of Georgia. (2) Physical Edu- |
| cation and Recreation with J. M. |
| Gooden, consultant for Health and;
| Physical Education for the State |
| Department of Education. 3) |
| Health Services — Local. Region- |
i al, State. Miss Sara Gordon, New
{ ton County Public Health Nurse, |
| assisted by a member of the State
| Health Department staff, will |
jlead this discussion. *
| Pickens, Carroll, Douglas, Haral-1
| son, Clayton, Rockdale and New.
| ton Counties displayed a total of
10,000 posters last April. |
These posters urged citizens to E
register. It is a known fact that '
a principal reason for not voting |
|is failure to register, ?
| Mr. O. B. Gorman, Scout Exe- |
| cutive of the Atlanta Area Coun- |
cil said he expects about 15,000
| Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Explor- |
! ers and leaders will be on the job |
| Saturday, November 3, to place |
| Liberty Bell hangers on the door- |
| knobs, of about 250,000 homes in |
| this area. '
| Scout leaders believe that or-i
| ganized boyhood can exert a!
{strong influence among parents, |
!l'elatives, and neighbors in doing |
| their share in rolling up a record |
ivote this vyear. ‘
| Mr. Gorman said that while the
campaign hopes to stimulate |
| adults to meet their responsibili
ties of good citizenship by voting,
the Scouts themselves will also
get a lesson in their duty to vote
when they come of age. |
, Tragedies—especially at Christ
|mas — are needless, so take a
| moment to think about the dan
gers that may be present in your
jhome.

November 10th
Preparations for the observance
of Poppy Day here November
10th are rapidly nearing comple.,
tion, Mrs. John Chestnut, Presi- |
dent of Covington Unit 32 of the|
American Legion Auxiliary, has‘!
announced. ‘
On that day everyone will be|
asked to wear a memorial poppy'|
in tribute to the nation's war |
dead, and to contribute toward |
the welfare of disabled veterans|
'and needy children of veterans, |
Poppies will be offered on the|
lstreels throughout the day b_v{
American Legion Auxiliary vol
unteers. '
l The little flowers are made of'
crepe paper in replica of the wild |
lEux'opean poppies which bloomed |
}on the battle fields and war ceme-’
' taries in France and Belgium, pro
viding the only floral tribute to |
the battle dead. They have been |
{made by disabled veterans -of |
|three wars, working in veterans |
| hospitals and in convalescent |
\workrooms in all parts of the|
country. The poppies to be dis- |
| tributed here has been made at‘l
}4B Hospital under the direction of |
{the Georgia Department of the|
American Legion Auxiliary. E
Poppy making gives gainful
employment to thousands of vel-‘
| erans unable to do other work.
In addition to enabling them so |
| contribute to the support of their |
| families and to provide them-|
| selves with things desired, the|
work is considered valuable as|
| occupational therapy. It gives|
them something interesting and
|useful to do during the long hos- |
| pital hours, encouraging a men-|
| tal attitude helpful toward re
| covery. '
| Contributions made by those
who wear poppies go almost en
tirely into the rehabilitation and
child welfare funds of the Ameri
can Legion Auxiliary, the only
| expenses of the program being
| the cost of the materials and the
earnings of the disabled veterans
' who made the flowers.
