saying nothing worth printing

fill the column with.
Chattering is right for I’m
cold. Suddenly “Donna” I
guess, turned off the heat as
she went on her rampage . . .
The room mate begged me to
go to Florida with him to
watch “Donna”. He loves
storms! He was reminded that
Storms and snakes were my

this world I am afraid of and
that I was not going. So off to

It is heart warming to see
how beautifully ever Civic
Club, Patriotic Organization
and everybody in Covington is
responding to that idea of
storing surplus food here and
giving of their time to distri
bute it to families who reallv
need it. This is one of the finest
things that has happened to
Newton County in many a day
. . . and an answer to a prayer
of your Office Boy . . . for
just think of the millions of
dollars the government pays
for places to store it. I may be
funny . . but when I was a lit
tle shaver . . My grandfather,
even tho a Lawyer, lived four
miles from his town and had
a big plantation . . . there they
raised all their meat . . . corn
which was ground into meal . .
sugar cane made into syrup,
and barrels of brown sugar . .
a smoke house full of dried
beef, links of sausage and
meat, smoked and the beef
dried ... no freezer lockers
. . . and those were the days
. . . Grits ground . . chickens,
eggs and just every thing that
was good to eat ... all the
cotton and peanuts they want
ed .. . Now ... I can’t see
why in Washington they say we
pay for your land ... we buy
your crops . . . then they have
to store them .... send to
foreign countries (that’s won
derful) but I do believe they’ve
seen that we have hungry
people here . . . NOT hungry
because they are lazy . . . but
because of misfortune . . ill
ness . . . orphans . . widows
. . . disaster and what have
you ... so now we are going
to get some of this food for
those who could not raise it
for themselves . . . because
we’ve planted pines where food
could grow . . . we’ve made
pastures of cotton patches.
. . Well ... It all happened
somehow but now, many have
promised to help distribute
this food.
Please call somebody quick

Screwworm
Outbreak
By ED HUNT
Notice has been received that
fly larvae identified as screw
worms were collected from the
wound of a steer August 31,
1960 at Geneva Stockyards,
Geneva, Alabama. This steer
was one of 35 animals shipped
from Texas, and the shipment
had been Inspected and spray
ed with Coral at the inspection
station before entering the era
dication area.
All interested persons are
requested to increase their
vigilance and/or inspection ac
tivities for screw worms. This
matter ia of extreme importance
and anyone who happens to
find evidence of screw worms in
a wound should treat for them
and then bring at least 10
worms to the County Agent or
to the veterinarian immediate
ly.
Specimens are necessary in
order that an immediate plan
of action for checking an out
break can be started if t h e
worms are identified as t h e
screw worm. Often times the
larvae of another species of fly
can be mistaken for the screw
worm.
If a local outbreak should oc
cur irridiated sterile male flies
will be flown in by plane and
air dropped over the infested
area. Your cooperation is so
licited in keeping our state and
area free of this insect which
costs the livestock producer so
heavily during an outbreak.

Brenda Brooks
Receives New
Scholarship
Dr. Claude Purcell, state
superintendent of school*, to
day notified Brenda Jane
Brooks of Covington that she
is one of 200 bright young
Georgians chosen to receive the
new state scholarships for fu
ture teachers.
The two hundred are being
chosen on the basis of their
high school record, the scores
they made on the College En
trance Board examinations, and
in the case of those already in
college, the grades they are
maintaining. No recipient can
fall below a B College average
and keep the scholarship. About
two thirds of the 200 scholar
ship students this fall will be
freshmen and the remainder
will be upperclassmen who are
already planning to become
teachers.
Mrs. S. C. Patterson, director
of teacher recruitment and
coordinator of the scholarship
program for the Department of
Education, said the applications
are carefully screened and
based on an objective formula
at the University of Georgia.
“We expect to have about
200 bright young people in col
lege on these new state scholar
ships this fall,” she said. “It
is a very fine step for educa
tion in Georgia." She pointed
out that the people of Georgia
voted approval of the use of
state money for preparing
teachers, at the 1959 elections.
Future doctors were already re
ceiving such grants.
The General Assembly at its
January session approved the
use of at least $150,000 a year
for the future teacher grants,
and Governor Vandiver made
the money available this year.
The State Board of Education
approved policies recommend
ed by the state superintendent.
The recipients must be in the
upper 20 per cent of their high
school classes, in good health,
and able to maintain at least a
B average in college. They must
agree to teach at least three
years in Georgia.
There’s nothing wrong with
the younger generation that the
older generation didn’t out
grow.
