Community News from
Salem
By MM. DOUGLAS YANCEY
In the sympathy corner this
week everyone here at Salem has
reason to be sad —for when our
friends are grieved, it grieves us
also. First, we find the Edgar
Thackers in sorrow at the loss of
their grandmother, Mrs. Edna
Thacker. Next, we find the en
tire family of the late Wilson
Holifield. Mrs. Holifield and her
daughters have a host of friends
here and elsewhere who join in
extending heartfelt sympathy. Mr.
and Mrs. Homer Holifield, the
parents, are both survivors. They
are aged and feeble and to them
we extend our special word of
sympathy and love. The beautiful I
floral offerings at Wil s o n’s I
funeral Friday afternoon, were a
testimony of the love and esteem
in which he was held. Last, we
here at Salem were shocked and
grieved to learn of Judge C. R.
Vaughn's passing. Salem Camp
meeting will never be the same
without Judge Vaughn. It wa s
not this Reporter's pleasure to be
personally acquainted with Judge
Vaughn but to me he was a sym
bol of faithfulness, always being
at his place at the right time, and
that place was where you would
expect to find a Christian gentle
man and since Salem was one of
his great interests, we all can
feel a loss in his passing. To all
the bereaved ones of these that
have been mentioned, we send
our sincere sympathy.

Georgia Patrol Warns Os Bad
Weather Ahead For Travel
From here on out to year’s
end, motorists will be facing
perhaps the most hazardous
conditions for traveling of any
like period on the calendar, ac
cording to the Georgia Depart
ment of Public Safety. Tradi
tionally, November and Dec
ember produce more traffic
deaths than other months be
cause of shorter days, heavier
holiday travel and bad weather
conditions, according to records.
With this in mind, Col. Wil
liam P. Trotter, state safety di
rector, has issued an appeal to
all motorists to be especially
careful and sensible in travel
ing over Georgia highways and
streets. Accidents and resultant
deaths can be prevented if each
individual driver will do h i s

HARALSON’S SUPER MARKET
OPEN SUNDAY Bto 10 12 to 7 810 WASHINGTON STREET
part, he said.
During November and De
cember last year 171 nersons
lost their lives in traffic acci
dents in Georgia, 138 of them in
rural areas and 33 urban areas,
the department records show.
Forty -two of those killed
were pedestrians. By mid-No
vember this year 37 persons
had been killed, one less than
a year ago.
At the same time, Col. Trot
ter released the Accident Re
porting Division’s consolidated
statistics for the first ten
months of 1960. Indications are
that instead of reducing last
year’s traffic death toll by 100,
which was the State Patrol’s
goal, the year likely will end up
with an increase of more than
(Largest Coverage Any Weekly In The Stale)
50 fatalities.
Here’s what the ten-month
report showed: 852 deaths com
pared with 824 a year ago, an
increase of 28, or three per cent.
Rural deaths totaled 672, an in
crease of 34, or five per cent,
while urban area deaths (180)
dropped by six, a reduction of
three per cent. There were 148
pedestrians killed throughout
the state, an increase of three,
or a plus two per cent.
During this year’s ten-month
period there were 75,356 more
motor vehicles (a total of 1,-
493,764) traveling 172,940,362
more miles (a total of 14,102,-
389,910) over Georgia roads
than a year ago. Nevertheless,
Georgia’s death rate, based on
the number of persons killed
to each 100-million miles tra
veled, went up two percent,
from 5.9 to 6.0.
Output per man or the farm
has increased 145 percent and
farm production has increased
57 percent in 20 years, says
The Progressive Farmer.
NEWTON MEMORIES
BY J. O. MARTIN
Recent issues of Th* Covington
News have carried notices that
take my Memory back quite a
number of years. First was the
passing of Miss Eleanor Duffey,
and next was the death of Mrs.
Luk* Robinson.
When I attended my first
Teachers Institute held in the
High School building in Covington,
Miss Duffey was a teacher in the
group. She was a bright, attrac
tive young lady teaching, as I
recall, at either Newborn or Mans
field. She would have fit in well
in any system. The News stated
that she was a native of Coving
ton and Newton County. The
Atlanta Journal stated that she
had taught at Manchester, Cuth
bert and The Lovett Schools in
Atlanta.
Dr. and Mrs. Robinson lived at
Walnut Grove, Walton County,
when I first knew them. The
PAGE TWENTY-SEVEN
area of Gum Creek, where I
taught five years, bordera cm the
Walton County line. Dr. and Mn
Robinson’s home was not far
from this border. Hence. Dr.
Robinson, a general practitioner,
served the majority of the fami
lies of this area. He was a jolly,
good natured man whom every
body liked. H e moved from
Walnut Grove to Covington. Ho
and Mrs. Robinson were dearly
beloved by the families they had
served and were greatly misled
after they moved.
She was a member and act Iva
in church and welfare organiza
tions and participated in many
worthy causes.
These, and many other distingui
shed citizens of former years,
have passed to their reward
leaving "minds made better by
their presence.” Indeed, they
have joined “the Choir Invisible
whose music is the gladness of the
world.”
