“Thankful’ Counts
Her Rich Blessings
By BETTY CARROLLTON
(Atlanta Constitution
And Journal)
COVINGTON—Mr. and Mrs.
Wendall W. Crowe today are
counting their blessings along
with other American families.
But they need no special holi
day to jab the memory with
prongs of Thanksgiving: Each
time Mrs. Crowe’s name is
spoken, it is a reminded of a
happy life, rich with blessings.
Mrs. Crowe’s name is Thankful.
Named For Grandmother
“Like so many girls,” she
said, “I was named for my
grandmother. And she was
named for her grandmother.”
The name that expresses so
perfectly a mother’s sentiment
when she first sees her healthy,
happy baby has become a tra
dition among Mrs. Crowe’s
relatives: There has been a
Thankful in the family for gen
erations.
The vivacious Covington ma
tron was born in Denver, and
her ancestor’s lived in Tenant’s
Harbor, Maine, a picturesque
spot the Georgia couple has
visited.
*on our last trip” Mrs
lirs. Johnson
Carmel Church
Funeral services for Mrs. A.
J. (Annie) Johnson of Cov
inaton, were held Monday af
ternoon, November 28, at Car
mel Baptist Church with Rev.
Edgar Callaway and Rev.
Hudson Moody officiating. |
Mrs. Johnson, 74, was a na
tive of Putnam County, but
had made her home here for
the larger part of her life
time. She was an active mem
ber of the First Baptist Church
until ill health forced her re
tirement. She gained many
friends through her quiet and
gentle manner.
Surviving are two sons,
James, A. Johnson, Covington;
Johnny Johnson, Commerce;
three daughters, Mrs. Fay Dor
sey, Lovejoy: Mrs. Bill Sim
mons and Mrs. Jack Allen,
Allen, Covington; two sisters,
Mrs. Idus Smith, Monticello;
Mrs. W. O. Niblett, Flovilla and
nine grandchildren.
Interment was in Carmel
Cemetery with J. C. Harwell
and Son Funeral Home in
charge of arrangements. Serv
ing as pallbearers were Don
Wood, J. B. Dial, Dawson
Bryant, Dewey Steele, Lewis
White and Ed King.
The NEWS joins the many
friends of the family in extend
{ng deepest sympathy to them
in their sorrow.
The Covington Enterprise, Established in 1864 — The C ovington Star, Established in 1874 and The Citizen-Observer, Established in 1953
Crowe recalled, “my husband
and I visited the old family
cemetery. There we found the
carefully marked graves of 19
| women named Thankful”
| Mr. and Mrs. Crowe will
celebrate their 25th wedding
anniversary next June. They’ve
been living in Mr. Crowe’s
home state—he is a native of
Wrightsville —for nearly 20
yoars. .
Mrs. Crowe has prepared a
| traditional Thanksgiving Day
dinner today. Guests will in
clude her son and daughter-in
law, Mr. and Mrs. Wendell
Vickmore Crowe of Oxford;
Mr. Crowe’s sister, Mrs. Nancy
Ryals, and her twin daughters,
Jean and Jane, of Atlanta.
The feast will include Mrs.
Crowe’s special ambrosia. The
meal will be served in rare
strawberry-pattern china. The
treasured set has been in her
family for generations and
has been used on Thanksgiving
Day by at least three Thank
fuls, including Mrs. Crowe.
No Little Thankful
Mrs. Crowe has no daughter
to whom she’ll pass on the
name. But she has no trouble
maintaining an emotional at
titude appropriate to the hap
py atmosphere her name sug
gests.
“There is so much for which
I’'m truly thankful,” she said.
“My many blessings include a
life of wide horizons—a home
life rich in happiness; a com
munity life rich in friendships
and opportunities of service.
“I'm thankful for a state rich
in culture and educational ad
vantages, and for a country
blessed with freedom of re
ligion and choice in govern
ment.”

Dodge Wire Steps Up Production
With New Loom, “Flying Shuttle”
An important innovation in wire
weaving has helped to double
the production of aluminum insect
screening at Dodge Wire Corpora
tion, Covington, according to Wil
mer B. Thompson, company
president.
The company, one of the nation's
leading producers of aluminum
insect screening for windows, has
achieved this boost in output
through the use of new high speed
looms that employ a device called
a “flying shuttle.” The device
grasps and shoots individual
strands of fine aluminum wire
across the width of the weaving
machines at the rate of 250 times
per minute. Standard looms,
which have changed little in the
past 50 years, use a bobbin that
performs this operation at less
than one-fifth the speed, Mr.
Thompson said.
“Both because of the production
NUMBER 49
Newton County’s voters prefere
ence on the 19 Georgia Constitu«
tional Amendments in the Novems=
ber General Election was very
much the same trend that existed
over the State of Georgia. Local
voters here rejected the same five
~amendments that failed over the
- state. They were numbers 3,6,
10, 12 and 19
. It was a coincidence that ene
- amendment proposal, the 17th
. which concerned the Brunswick
Ports Authority, reccived the
same number of votes in Newton
| County — 913,
| The state's official returns were
| certificd last week by Secretary of
State Ben Fortson.
‘ The rejected amendments would
{have added five members to the
| State Board of Education; put
| members of the General Assems
bly on a salary basis; made the
| agriculture commissioner a mems
|ber of the University System
| Board of Regents; raise the cost
|of a marriage license by $1 and
put the additional money into a
retirement fund for ordinaries,
|and create a public facilities au
thority at Athens.
Some 300,000 fewer persons vot
ed on the constitutional amend
ments than did in the presidential
race, in which the total vote was
a record 733,110.

Newton High
4-H Club Met
- Wednesday
The Newton County High School
4-H Club met Wednesday, Novems«
ber 23. The president, Gail Dun
can, called the meeting to order
with nine members present.
We discussed the Christmas
Party of the Council, the annual
awards banquet and the Farm
Project in which only seniors may
enter.
Mrs. Hazel Malone then showed
us some Christmas gift and deco
- iion ideas, )
|record and the unexcelled quality
‘and uniformity of the product
achieved by the flying shuttle
looms, we are convinced t hat
they represent a major break
through in the field of wire weav
'ing." Mr. Thompson observed.
He noted that Dodge Wire this
ryear has replaced 60 standard
looms with 24 flying shuttle looms
and that, despite this decrease in
space-consuming machinery, 1960
production will be about 40 million
square feet, twice last year's out
put on the old standard looms.
“By the end of 1961, Mr,
Thompson added, “‘we expect our
production to reach the 50 million
square feet mark, or two-and-one
half times our 1959 figure.”
The new looms, which weave
aluminum cloth in widths up to
inches, were developed by ern:
and Swasey Company, Cleveland,
in cooperation with Dodge Wire,
