Tribute To
Mrs. Woods
Mrs. W. C. (Mammie) Woods
died Monday night. November
21. 1960, in Atlanta after a
’ lingering illness.
Mrs. Woods was born and
reared in the Hopewell Com
munity and was 91 years of
age. She was the daughter of
the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
Avery. She united with County
Line Baptist Church at the aue
|of 16 and remained a loyal,
faithful and devoted member
■ for 75 years or until death.
, When a young lady she was
married to Mr. William C.
Woods of Henry County. They
lived at Woodstown until their
children were grown and then
moved to Oxford and lived sev
eral years. Their health was
i failing them. They then moved
to Atlanta to be near their
children. Mr. Woods preceded
her to the grave a few years
ago.
Mr. and Mrs. Woods were
very useful in the Community.
Their home was a place of hos-
I pitality and Christian influence.
Their interest and love was of
' County Line. Not many mem
i bers were more interested in
the church than they 7 were.
In the passing of Mrs. Woods,
I the church has lost another one
of the good women of a gener
ation that is rapidly passing
away.
Mrs. Woods was a loving and
unassuming servant of t h e
Lord. Her cheerful spirit im
pressed us with memories that
we shall always cherish. We are
grateful for her example of de
votion to her mother. Her con
secrated life will ever be an in
spiration to us all who knew
her and will testify that she
lived justly, loved mercy and
1 walked humbly with God.
She is survived by t h r • e
daughters, Mrs. R. H. Lummus
; Sr., Mrs. M. F. Ellen, Mrs. J. C.
Newton of Atlanta; three sons,
’ Thomas W. Woods, Corbin, Ky.,
I Huie H. Woods, James E. Woods
of Atlanta and several grand
children and great-grandchild
ren.

Local Jaycee
Clubs To Pick
"Young Farmer"
Doug Blankenship, President
of the Georgia Junior Cham
ber of Commerce, announced
today that local Jaycee Clubs
throughout Georgia will par
ticipate in a state-wide search
to find Georgia’s “Outstand
ing Young Farmer”.
Purpose of this program is
to encourage and recognize
young farmers who are doing
an outstanding job in their
overall farming operation, are
practicing soil and nature con
servation and making a real
contribution to community de
velopment.
Local agricultural leaders,
such as county agents, voca
tional agricultural teachers and
bankers have been asked to
nominate farmers in their
community whom they con
sider to be outstanding and
। who meet the following qualifi
cations:
1. Must be between the ages
of 21 and 35, not becoming 36
for at least 12 months follow
ing nomination;
2. Must earn at least two
thirds of annual income from
farming.
Names of winner* of local
contests will be submitted to
the state OYF Chairman. From
this group of top farmers,
judges, comprised of well
known experts in the field of
agriculture, will select five fin
alists. These five finalists will
be honored at a State Jaycee
Awards banquet to be held in
Macon in February, at which
time Georgia's “Outstanding
Young Farmer” for 1960 will
be announced.
The “Outstanding Young
Farmer” program in Georgia is
co-sponsored with the Junior
Chamber of Commerce by
Southern Nitrogen Company of
Savannah, manufacturers of
Dixie Nitrogen.

eral government. In 1959 the
total was $3.7 billion of which

Bostick Speaks
To Local Teachers
Herman F. Bostick, foreign
language consultant from the
State Department of Education,
lectured and demonstrated
“The Teaching of Foreign Lan
guages”, to the Newton County
teachers.
The following points were
stressed. 1. The oral method is
used in teaching foreign lan
guage, which is the same
method as a child learns to
speak. By observation, hearing
and speaking. 2 The teacher
j must be alert, motivate and
know the needs of children. 3.
The use of visual aids are
helpful, but do not rely too
i heavily on recordings for

teacher. 4. Too much use of
the text book may defeat the
