Indian Summer and Spring
time annually vie for honors in
Mother Earth’s Beauty Contest.
Youth perhaps chooses spring
time. with its colorful promises
of things to come; but autumn
which reflects fulfillment of
all that spring so lavishly
pledged, is unsurpassed in jts
mature variations of every hue,
shade and tone of Nature’s
rainbow.
The Master Artist’s harmony
of color finds a significant par
allel in the molding of the lives
of His Children. Browning’s
oft quoted, “Grow old along
with me! The best is yet to be.
The last for which the first was
made. Our Times are in His
hands,” from Rabbi Ben Ezra,
vividly portrays the beautiful
pattern of a Christian Life.
The strength and vitality of
youth may diminish; but when
all of its talents and visions
and dreams have been Divinely
directed into the right chan
nels, then the years only serve
to weave them into a Tapestry
of Life so beautiful, that all
who look upon it find inspira
tion and a challenge.
Many such lives we find ex
tolled in the annals of history;
but many we find unsung, in
our midst. Some we find in
homes, where the only ambi
tion the mother has is to rear
her children in the “nurture
and admonition of the Lord”;
and serve her church and fel
lowman. This is Womanhood’s
most sublime role. Such was
the role so well characterized
in the lives of two of our com
munity’s Christian Mothers,

Snapping Shoals
Gets M
Loan From REA
A loan approval of $850,000
by the Rural Electrification
Administration in Washington,
D. C. to the Snapping Shoals
Electric Membership Corpora
tion of Covington, has been
announced in Washington. The
loan will have a direct bearing
on improving business condi
tions in this immediate area.
Ed Robinson, manager of the
Snapping Shoals EMC, said
yesterday that the confirma
tion of this $850,000 REA loan
to finance the construction of
115 miles of additional distri
bution lines and for general
system improvements to cur
rent cooperative facilities, will
open the way for a potential
spending of nearly $4,000,000
for house-wiring, electric ap
pliances, water system instal
lations, etc.
“It is estimated that convert
ing a rural residence for the
utilization of electric power
and the purchase of those major
electrical appliances, that are
now considered necessary in
the home, can reach approxi
mately $7,000 per residential
unit,” Mr. Robinson added.
In recounting the past growth
of the Snapping Shoals EMC
Mr. Robinson said, “The sale
of kilowatt hours to individual
consumers has tripled since
1950. This same rate of growth
is expected to continue for
many years to come.
“We are now serving 6,100
consumers and 2,500 of those
are in Newton County. We plan
extensive syst e m improve
ments to provide better service
and take care of our expected
future load growth,” he com
mented.
It is expected that the new
lines of the Snapping Shoals
organization will serve some
800 new customers in the coun
ties of Newton, DeKalb, Rock
dale, Butts, Henry, Walton and
Clayton.
In telegrams received from
Senator Herman Talmadge and
Congressman John J. Flynt, Jr.

Textile Industry Leading
Producer On Georgia Market
The value of all manufac
tured products in Georgia con
tinues to show a steady in
crease, with the state's textile
industry still leading the pa
rade among individual indus
tries, according to figures re
cently released.
With 1959 figures now tabu
lated, the output value of all
products manufactured in the
state last year amounted to
$5,876,000,000 compared to
$3,905,000,000 five years ago,
the Blue Book of Southern
Progress disclosed. The total
output value of all products in
the state in 1939 —20 years
ago—amounted to $677,000,000,
the publication showed.
Accounting for a little more
than one-fifth of the state’s
total manufactured output
value last year, the textile in
dustry was ranked number one
with its products being val
ued at $1,327,000,000. Food
was second, with its products
receiving a value of $1,158,-
000,000, and transportation
equipment third with a value
of $638,000,000. The textile in
dustry accounted for $955,-
000,000 of the state’s $3,905,-
000,000 total output value in
1954, and for $217,000,000 of

the $677,000,000 total value in
1939.
In the United States as a
whole, products had an output
value of $14,137,000,000 last
year.
Commenting on the product
value trend in the state, Paul
K. McKenney, Jr., Columbus,
president of Georgia Textile
Manufacturers Asso ciat i o n,
said:
“The increase in value of
textile products is significant
in that textile prices have not
contributed to the inflationary
price trend that has occurred
in this country since 1947. It

NUMBER 43
Membership,
Fund Drive
Set Nov. 7-12
William J. Dickey, prominent
educator, civic leader and
churchman, was elected chair
man of the Newton County
Mental Health Association for
1961 at the regular association
meeting Tuesday night at City
Hall Courtroom. Mr. Dickey
succeeds Miss Clara Mae Hays.
Other officers elected to serve
with the new chairman include:
Mrs. Pierce Cline, vice - chair
man; Mrs. Dorothy Callahan,
secretary; Donald Stephenson,
treasurer. New
members of the
board of direc
tors named to
serve until
1963 are: Dr.
James Purcell,
Homer F.
Sharp, Miss
Peggy Jaynes,
Mrs. C u r r y W. J. Dickey
Haynes, N. S. Turner, Miss Mat
Hardman, Bill Hoffman, Don
ald Stephenson, Dr. R. M. Paty
and Dr. Thomas Crews. Mrs.
Katherine Paty read the list
of officer nominees for the
new year.
Main speaker at the meeting
Tuesday was John Scanlon, As
sistant Director of the Georgia
Mental Health Association, At
lanta.
Mr. Scanlon reviewed t h e
work of the mental health as
sociations in Georgia and over
the nation. He stated that the
mental health program had
made more progress in Georgia
in the past two years than in
the previous 100 years.
He added, “7,000 patients of
the Milledgeville Hospi'd
could be cured and released if
we had the proper facilities for
treatment that we need.”
As a solution to the impend
ing mental health situation in
small counties he stated that
much of the solution wou’d
have to romp from the local
people. “The Government never
steps in until the local people
have been eiven a chance to
solve the problem.”
A startling fact that has
been proven by statistics is
that I out of every 4 school
children today will be mentally
i’l at some future date, he said.
He also added that most of the
mentally ill people of today are
in the age group 15-35.
In concluding his speech he
urged all voters to supnort
amendments Number 13 and 14
in the General Election in No
vember. These two amendments
are vital to the mental health
program in Georgia for years to
come.
Chairman Hays announced
that the 1960 campaign for
the local mental health associa
tion would be conducted the
week of November 7-12. Final
plans for the drive will be an
nounced next week, she stated.
