I If you can read numbers, you can play any kind of music from classical
I to jazz—tonight, in your own home.
You simply match the numbers in the Song Books with the numbered keys
| of the Magnus Electric Chord Organ keyboard. You needn't know one note
from another, though they’re there for those who do. You play full, resonant
chord accompaniment, too.
You, yes you press a key—and out comes MUSIC! Ileal music, full tim
bered, rich, mellow, and wide of range. ..vibrant with the authentic
“breathing” of organ tones and overtones, because Magnus uses the same
principle of passing air over reeds as you find in the might iest church organs.
Truly, Magnus is unmatched at its price for workmanship, cabinetry, and
tonal quality.

mittees. If the committee ap
proves the bill, it is introduced
cn the floor of the House where
it is discussed and voted. If
passed, the bill is carried to a
Senate committee and if ap
proved there is voted upon in
the Senate. If the bill is for
i tunate enough to have been
passed by both houses, it is sent
to the youth governor for his
signing or veto. As the reader
can see. this follows exactly the
same procedure as in the Gen
eral Assembly.
The delegates attending from
Newton County were: Miss
Adrian Bledsoe, Miss Brenda
Brooks from the Senior Tri Hi-
Y; Miss Madelyn Bates. Misa
Mary Ann Harwell from the Al
pha Tri Hi-Y; Mr. Lin Dearing.
, Mr. Nolan . . esbit from the
Senior Hi-Y; and Mr. Jack Ed
: wards, Mr. Tommy Wiley from
the Junior Hi-Y. Miss Lucy
Morcock attended as Messenger
of the House of Representatives,
and Mr. Grier Stephenson acted
as Press Representative. The
people of Newton County will be
proud to know that the dele
gates from Newton took an ac
tive part in the legislation.
Gried Stephenson was appoint
ed as Message Clerk of the
House of Representatives for
the 1960 Youth Assembly.
The first session of Youth
1 Assembly convened at 1:00 P.M.
on Thursday. During this pe
riod. the oaths of office were
administered to the officials in
the Senate by Justice Carlton
Mobley and in the House by
Associate Justice T. S. Cand
ler. The Hon. Ben W. Fortson.
Secretary of State, delivered a
welcome message to the dele
gates and spoke on the “Great
Seal of Georgia.”
Between the first and second
sessions, district meetings were
held in order that the delegates
might hear announcements for
their district and campaign
speeches from those seeking
state office.
At the evening session on
Thursday Mr. Walter R. Thom
as, the chairman of the Youth
Government Committee, pre
sented a welcome. Justice J. H.
Hawkins administered the oath
of office to Young Governor
1 Stephen Butler. The Assembly
was honored in a joint session
of House and Senate to hear an
address by the Honorable Er
nest Vandiver, Governor of
Georgia. Youth Governor Butler
followed with his address and
bill recommendations to be con
sidered.
One of the highlights of the
entire Assembly was a press
conference with foreign ex
change students attending
Youth Assembly. Through ques
tions, the press delegates learn
ed that teenage life in America
varies only slightly with that
THE COVINGTON NEWS
of most of Europe. The Euro
peans enjoy American movies,
“going steady", and rock’n roll.
All of the exchange students
expressed that the people of
Europe have the idea that
America is one big hide out for
cowboys and juvenile delin
quents. This has been obtained
from the “outstanding” level of
movies and “music (?)”. The
student from Finland stated
that in the whole of Europe
there is nothing to compare
with Georgia’s Youth Assembly,
although the YMCA’s are active
there.
On Friday evening a recep
tion was held for the newly
elected officers of the 1960
Youth Assembly. Os particular
interest to this area Jerry
Blasingame of Monroe was
elected Speaker of the House of
Representatives.
Another press conference was
held with the Governor of Geor
gia. the Honorable Ernest Van
diver, on Saturday. The Gov
ernor commented on several
bills which had either been
passed by the General Assem
bly or by the Youth Assembly.
He expressed hope that the
youth of Georgia wiM continue
to take part in a program such
as Youth Assembly so that
Georgia will be blessed with
outstanding citizens in the fu
ture. The Governor stated that
he was definately not in favor
of a bill introduced in the
Youth Assembly which would
consolidate the 159 counties in
to 54 counties. Mr. Vandiver
said this would take away some
of the rights of citizens in smal
ler counties as well as county
heritage.
The Reverend Frank Crawley
of Decatur First Methodist
Church addressed the Assembly
at the Legislative Breakfast held
at the Dinkier Plaza Hotel on
Saturday morning. This was for
the inauguration of the newly
elected officers of 1960.
At approximately 12:40 P.M.
on Saturday a joint session of
House and Senate was called.
In the session the Youth Gov
ernor read his report on the
bills, and awards and resolutions
were given to the most out
standing overall delegate and
a bill from each district. The
adjournment came with the tra
ditional “Sine Die”. This is the
sign with the handkerchief by
which both houses adjourn at
exactly the same time.
A few of the outstanding bills
passed at the 1959 Youth As
sembly were: a mandatory jail
sentence ranging from 12 days
to one year for first and second
convictions for drunken driv
ing; establish training schools
for mentally defective children
in southwest Georgia; parents
required to appear in court as
co-defendants with their chil
dren accused of misdemeanors
and felonies; placement of blood
type upon driver’s license: nolio
vaccinations made comoulsorv
throughout the state for all
school children ages 6-18: and
all public hospitals be required
to admit and treat emergency
patients immediately.

THE SECRET OF HER SMILE
She could have been a bitter |
old woman. I don’t suppose any- ‘
one who knew her would have
criticized her if she had turned
sour on the world. She had
many heavy burdens to bear.
Life for her was filled with i
trouble and grief. It seemed al- I
most unfair that God would ask .
one to carry such a heavy load, j
Aunt Minnie always wore a
smile. She knew that bitterness ,
toward God would not help
solve her problems.
No one ever head Aunt Min
nie complain. How could she
face life so cheerfully? Every
one knew that behind the sun
shine of her smile were bitter
tears, dark clouds of loneliness,
broken dreams and shat
tered hopes. Her son was kill
ed during the war; her daugh
ter was myteriously murdered;
and her husband was an in
valid. Her sweet smile, kind
voice and gentle manner did
not reveal her sorrow.
Aunt Minnie had a secret. It’s
true life had been hard for her
but she had found the secret
which enabled her to smile dur
ing the storm. She believed the
words of St. Paul: “We know
that IN EVERYTHING GOD
WORKS FOR GOOD with
those who love him.” (Ro
mans 8:28) She loved Him. Her
faith was stronger than all the
heartaches and trouble she had
known. Her strength to smile
and face life with undaunted
courage came through her com
munion with God. Her first
words in the morning were
words to God. She begins each
day with a prayer. Each morn
ing God hears Aunt Minnie
pray this simple prayer which
comes from her heart. “O God,
thank you for another day.
Guide me each step of the way-

ELECTRIC HOTBEDS
It’s time now to plan for
electric hotbeds for growing
sweet potato and vegetable
plants.
Hotbeds should be located
facing south and protected from
the wind if possible. In choos
ing the site, avoid areas where
sweet potatoes or vegetables
have been grown previously.
Build a good frame 18 inches
high on the back, 12 inches in
front, and six inches wide.
Length of the bed can vary
from six to 60 feet, depending
noon the number of plants
needed.
Esther lead-covered or plas
tic heating cable may be used
so long as the nroper wattage
is installed in the bed. Either
115 or 230 volt service mav be
used. However, 230 voHs is
much better For la^e beds.
Cover your hotbed with a good
air tight cover to conserve heat.
One of the manv good elastic
materials ava ;i able makes a
good cover. Cover material
should be nai’ed to six foot
pnuare frames for ease of han
dling and to keen it from flap
pin® when the wind blows.
For more complete informa
tion on hotbed®, please call or
come by my office.
HIGH CORN YIELDS
Georgia farmers are becom
ing better and better corn
growers. In 1958 they planted
2.711.000 acres which nroduced
86.752.000 bushels. The 1958
state average yields was 32
bushels per acre—six bushels
higher than the all-time aver
age made in 1957. In dollars and
cents this is an increase of $21,-
332,500 to Georgia’s farm in
come.
At the Corn Chib luncheon in
Athens last Saturday, 334
farmers and 257 Four-H Club
boys and girls were honored
with 100 Bushel Com Club
keys and certificates. One hun
dred and fortv of these became
members for the first time. One
hundred and seventy-five 100
Bushel Com Club members and
57 other growers also qualified
for the 1000 Bushe’ Corn Club
by producing 1,000 of more
bushels on 12 acres or less.
Calculations made in the
state Extension agronomy office
show that 220 of these 1000
382.350 bushels on 3.537 acres.
Their average yield was 108.7
bushels per acre. These growers
used an average of 502 pounds
of 4-12-13 fertilizer at planting
and side dressed with 84.5
pounds of actual nitrogen.
Average number of stalks per
acre was 12,080. Average cost
of production was 55 cents per
acre.

May this day bring opportuni
ties to spread kindness, help
mend the broken hearts pf oth
ers, and learn more about Thy
will. Give me courage. Keep
me true, and help me to bear
the burdens of this day. Amen.”
No wonder she could smile
through her troubles. She did
not nourish her grief. She had
no self-pity. She had forgotten
Iher own hurts because she was
thinking about others. Notice
her prayer. She did not ask God
for material wealth, but rather
for an opportunity to do some
thing for someone else. She
did not ask God to take her
burdens away, only for the
strength and courage to be true.
She did not ask God to bind up
her broken heart, she simply
prayer for a chance to mend the
wounds of others.
In the evening when the day
is over, the shadows lengthen,
and the stars twinkle she falls
into bed with a weary body and
a refreshed soul. Another pray
er falls from her lips. “Thank
you for your help O God. For
give me if I have failed you. If
I have injured another or com
plained about life have mei cy
on me. May the morning light
find me rested and ready for
another task. Keep me faithful
regardless of the cost. Amen.
There is strength for every
burden if we trust in God. Be
hind every dark cloud there is
a silver lining. If we could sin
cerely beein and end each day
with Aunt Minnie’s prayer we
could smile through our trou
bles.
Weeds on U. S. farms cause a
loss of $5 billion per year, or

er.
I hope the results of our top
corn growers will inspire us all
to grow more and better corn
per acre in this county.
