the “Fourth” Estate.
Among the designated weeks
it seems as “right as rain” that
National Boy Scout Week and
National Crime Prevention
Week are being observed simul
taneously. Whether the officials
of both these organizations de
liberately planned this, or it
was just one of those fortunate
coincidences, we do not know
—in any event it is perfect tim
ing in our book. For the Boy
Scout Program, with the Scout
Oath, “Upon my honor, I will
do my best to do my duty to
God and to my Country”, in
stills in American youth, from
Cubbers to adulthood, those
principles which preclude
crime. Newton County which
has received so much recogni
tion for Scout Leadership, again
pays tribute to the many fine
men and women who give of
their time, efforts and means
toward the wonderful charac
ter and citizenship building pro
gram of Scouting.
Leadership for our citizens of
tomorrow reaches even below
the Scouting age in Newton
County. Not only in the schools,
but in the two fine Kindergar
tens available for pre-school
i children. Among factors con
■ tributing to the younger child’s ;
development offered in our i
kindergartens are the corre-'
I lated methods of teaching read- i
ing, writing, number-work, etc.
which fit the child for first;
■ grade work as approved by
(Georgia Public School System;
1 habits of following safety rules
on public streets, in handling ;
I work tools, obedience to au-:
thority, ability to concentrate
within the span of attention I
which is normal; social training ।
for daily contact with grown- j
ups and other children, in con
versation groups, acquiring
new skills in music, art and
rhythmn work; and physical
training in out-door games and
play. If for no other reason, it
would be nice to “turn time
backward in its flight”, just to
get to attend the Service Guild
or HaoDV Days Kindergarten!
Hearts of many local friends
were saddened this week in
learning of the passing of Mrs.
Joe R. Martin, nee Miss Julia
Clements formerly of Moultrie,
, Ga. Strange how the memories
reach out to us through' the
years—Julia and I were high
school class mates —she was a
vivacious little red-head, and
i gaiety surrounded her pathway.
Light and laughter went with
her where ever she went, and
| somehow we see her that way
| still. Our deepest sympathy •
goes to her bereaved family. I
Many friends are glad to learn I
; that Mrs. Frank Burney is con
valescing satisfactorily at the
home of her daughter Mrs. Nat
; Timer and family, and are
; keeping her in their thoughts |
; and prayers for an early re
, covery.
It is good to know that R. H.
Patterson is progressing satis-
I factorily at St. Joseph’s Infirm
i ary, following surgery last
(week end. Also, that Mrs. Billy
Adams’ condition is good fol
' lowing surgery at Newton Hos
pital on Monday.
| Friday evening at 7:30, the
World Day of Prayer Program,
' sponsored by local churches,
will be held at the First Meth
. odist Church under the direc
tion of the committee composed
of Miss Lucy Banks, Mrs. T. C.
Callaway and Mrs. Edgar Cal-
I laway. The ultimate power of
j prayer has never really been
j tested by mankind — not be
cause it is not available, but
i because we as Christians are
prone to accept it as a duty
( rather than a privilege and
sourse of power! We like to
think of prayer as the wings of
the soul, which bring us into
the Presence of the Creator at
any time Or in any place. If
a bird refused to use its wings,
it could never know- the power
or joy of flight; even so the
soul that does not pray remains
earthbound and helpless. Some
churches name their mid-week
, prayer services, the “Hour of
Power”; and truly Friday
could be a Day of Power, even
as it is a Day of Prayer—let’s
.help the W’orld make it so, by
j joining in this great program
। of Prayer!

THE COVINGTON NEWS
Scouts of America,” effective
nmedialely, were announced !
oday by John H. Stembier of
\tlanta, the President of the
Mlanta Area Council, Boyd
Scouts of America.
Mr. Stembier said that the
National Executive Board of
.he Boy Scouts of America has.
irovided this means for the reg- I
stration of women other than
he 304,134 who are now serv
ng and registered as Den
Mothers in the Cub Scout Pro
gram. He said that there are
1,676 women serving as Den |
Mothers in the Atlanta Area
Council.
“It has been recognized," says
Dr. Arthur A. Schuck, Chief
Scout Executive of the Boy
Scouts of America, “that many
women have played and are
playing a silent, but important,
part in making the Scouting
program available to boys of
Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and Ex
plorer age. Our National Exe
cutive Board has voted to pro
vide an opportunity for those
women who so desire to become
officially affiliated with the
movement in other than Den
Mother capacity.
“We recognize that the Boy
Scout movement is, and has al
ways been, a boys’ movement,
under the active leadership of
boys and men and that nothing
should be done that will detract
from this wholesome relation
ship. We must maintain the
boy-man contact.”
Dr. Schuck said that a mem
bership card in the “Women’s
Reserve of the Boy Scouts of
America” will be issued to any
woman who qualifies by being
at least twenty-one years of age
and an American citizen or has
declared that she will become
an American citizen. She will
make application in the same
manner as local council Scout
ers. She will be registered only
on a local council basis.
These women may serve as
' faculty members of Cub Scout
I training courses, assisting in or-
I ganizing and training in con
nection with Cub Scout packs
and assisting in finance and
public r e 1 at i o n s campaigns.
They will serve as members of
; mothers clubs, parents clubs,
i and auxiliaries of Scout units,
j They may serve as merit badge
counselors when men cannot
be found. They may include
; women employees of the na
tion’s 532 local councils of the
i Boy Scouts of America.
Dr. Schuck said that as regis
tered members of the “Women’s
Reserve of the Boy Scouts of
America,” they will receive
“Scouting” magazine.
“Thus each of these register
ed persons,” he said, “will re
ceive each month a regular re
minder of Scouting, as well as
an opportunity to keep inform
ed on youth and what we are
endeavoring to do with and for
them through the Scouting pro
gram.”
Farmers Must
Choose Cotton
Allotment
The next important date for
upland cotton producers is the
i March 16 deadline for making
I a choice between the (A) allot
ment and the (B) allotment for
their farms, according to Mr.
iA. E. Hays, Chairman of the
: County Agricultural Stabiliza
tion and Conservation Commit-
I tee.
All cotton farm operators
have been sent a notice of the
price support levels and a re
minder of the (A) and (B)
allotments for their farms. Mr.
Hays, urged all cotton farmers
to make their choice of cotton
i allotment by the deadline on
March 16. After that date all
' farms on which the operator
1 1 has not made a choice will have
J the (A) allotment in effect for
1959. This is a requirement of
’ \ the law and cannot be changed
' by the County ASC Committee.
Choice (A) farm allotments
’ are the regular allotments.
Choice (B) farm cotton allot
' ments are 40 percent larger
: than the Choice (A) allotments.
Another requirement is that
! a farm operator who has more
, than one farm must choose
' either the (A) cotton allotment
» for all the farms he operates
! or the (B) allotment for all his
f farms. Mr. Hays suggests that
, an operator who has an inter
i est in other farms because of
3 leasing, corporate, partnership,
i estate, or other operating ar
i rangements should check with
j the county ASC office to de
yr termine his status on all the
J farms.
Mineral Needs Os Trees Studied
By Soil Test, Leaf Analysis
WASHINGTON, D C.—|
Modern forestry is beginning to [
use two tools developed by ag
riculture —soil testing and leaf
analysis—to determine the min
eral needs of trees, report Uni
versity of Washington forest
soil scientists, S. P. Gessel and
R. B. Walker.
But many problems must be
overcome in sampling forest
soils and analyzing tree needs
before soil tests can be used as |
readily in forestry as they are ।
now used in agriculture, the ‘
Washington scientists report in ■
Better Crops with Plant Food,
a pocket book of agriculture j
published by the American
Potash Institute.
The problems are complex.
Forest soils are frequently quite
variable, even within the same
defined soil unit, they explain.
Southern Bell
"Call Director”
A streamlined multi-button
business, the “Call Director,
was introduced this week by
Southern Bell Telephone Com
pany.
The new instrument, featur
ing a modern functional design,
was developed for the business
man who needs more than six
push-buttons on a telephone, and
the Secretary or the Clerk who
answers calls for a number of
people.
Harold Rice, Southern Bell
Manager here, said the “Call
Director” incorporates in a sin
gle unit many features that
formerly required separate
pieces of equipment.
At the touch of a button, it
provides such service as inter
communication transfer of calls,
signalling and conference call
ing between extensions. It also
allows a user access to several
other lines and permits the
holding of a call on one line
while another line is answered.
The “Call Director” was
tested extensively in a six
month trial among business
customers Mr. Rice said. It is
available in 18 and 30-button
models and a variety of colors.
Baling hay the modern way
takes about two man-hours of
labor per ton, compared to five
to seven hours per ton by the
old method, say engineers at
the Agricultural Extension Ser
vice. ,

(LaraMt Cowan. Anv Tn The
Also the time and expense of
securing soil samples from vast,
forest tracts limits testing.
What type and method of
testing to u»e on the soil sam
ples is another problem, be
cause each tree species would
probably require a different
test. To be a useful tool in for
estry, soil testing procedures
must be standardized and re
sults related to actual nutrient
absorption and use by the tree,
the scientists emphasize.
Leaf analysis is an effective
way to diagnose nutrient needs
of forest trees, because foliar
samples are relatively easy to
collect and more readily ana
lyzed than forest soils, Gessel i
and Walker explain.
The practicing forester can
usually relate foliage composi
tion to foliage color, crown
density, and general health
appearance of the trees —mak-
ing the finding more useful.
But leaf analysis of forest
trees is not free from prob
lems, either, the Washington
scientists warn. Both foliage
sampling and analysis must be
carefully standardized. The age
of the tree (needles in case of
evergreens), season of sampl
ing, position in the crown are
all variables that must be con
trolled to insure adequate, re
liable comparisons.
Gjssel and Walker empha
size certain ways to standardize
leaf sampling and analysis of
forest trees:
(1) On trees other than seed
lings, remove the needles from
the top two or three whorls of
the tree.
(2) Sample current growth in
autumn for best results.
(3) Oven dry the foliage at
70- 80 degrees as soon as pos
sible after sampling, then grind
and store free from contami
nants.
(4) With evergreens, separate
needle tissue from twig tissue
and use only the needles.
(5) Samples from top, mid
dle, and lower sections of the
crown give different results for
a given tree, depending on the
element.
“Since adjacent forest trees
may not have the same fertility
environment, it would be un
wise to base an area diagnosis
on one tree, even if it was se
lected to represent the average,”
the Washington scientists con
clude.
Gessel and Walker’s full re
port is available through For
est Fertilization Handbook.
