highlights will be their Civic
Night Banquet tonight, (Thurs
day), at Porterdale School
Cafeteria. One of their fine
contributions to our civic life
was the Mental Health Drive
which they have sponsored
this year. Among other pro
jects they sponsor are Scrap
books for Milledgeville State
Hospital; and “Secret Pals”
among the Golden Age Group,
mostly shut-ins, to whom they
bring much cheer in various
ways. It is a definite privilege
to say “Congratulations” to
this fine group of Pilots and
their president, Miss Ruth
Parker, for meeting needs of
their community in specific
and tangible ways.
Good wishes are winging
their way to Newton County
and Atlanta Hospitals, where
many local friends are hos
pitalized. Among these are
Mrs. Claude Wood, mother of
Mrs. Helen Dickinson and Don
Wood; and Mrs. George Sum
ner whose conditions are re
ported as satisfactory at New
ton Hospital; and Mrs. Aubra
Sherwood, who is showing im
provement. and Miss Margaret
Yancey at Georgia Baptist
Hospital in Atlanta. Dr. Ernest
Lee continues to be his same,
peerless cheer-dispenser, among
those a “little this side of abun
dant health”, at their homes.
Among these is Mrs. L. D.
Pritchett, who is gradually im
proving. Her many friends ex
tend sympathy in the loss of
her brother, H. S. Lewis, at
Battle Creek, Mich., last week.
Strange, how often these who
know sorrow, illness and in
firmities, reveal the strength
they are given through prayers
of those, who know the heal
ing in the touch of the Great
Physician. It keynotes the re
sponsibility involved in ac
cepting the task of prayer, .for
our fellowman, as well as for
ourselves.
Now if spring would be its
age, and come dancing on in
with its colorful posies, we
would lose no time in gather
ing a great big bouquet to hand
to the clubs and individuals
who have responded to the
Polio Drive; and to Charlie
Burnett, who is giving of his
services in an unofficial chair
manship capacity to garner
funds. Especial gratitude is due
Mrs. J. M. Waddleton, who
volunteered to sponsor a
Mother’s March and has made
a fine contribution; the New
born Community Club, headed
by Mrs. Gray Hinton, which
has made the largest contribu-
tion of clubs responding so far.
For those answering the call,
it has meant going the second
mile, in order that some polio
victim might ever go the first
mile.
Valentine Day has its own
special place in the old com
plicated world! Not only for
Sweethearts; but, all of those
whom you love. How often have
someone's “Nights and days
which are leaden things, Like
wounded birds with broken
wings” been changed into
things of beauty, because on
Valentine Day, some loved one
cared enough to say, “I Love
You”, and once again their
hearts would sing. Sometimes
those hearts have to “sing in
the rain”, and the melody may
be muted; but, with thought
ful friends and loved ones ex
pressing their love with a Val
entine, it never dies - - - Not
even, when vour task is just
“SWEEPIN’ UP”

Everybody Loses
When Cotton Acres
Not Planted
Everybody loses when farm
ers with cotton allotments fail
either to plant or release to
their county ASC committee
the acres alloted to them, Di
rector W. A. Sutton of the Un
iversity of Georgia Coopera
tive Extension Service declar
ed this week.
Not only does the individual
farmer stand to lose by failing
to release unplanted alloted
acres, but the county’s and
state’s economy will also suf
fer, the Extension director
pointed out.

termines future allotments, Mr.
Sutton continued. When a
farmer releases acreage he will
1 not plant, that acreage can be
given to others to plant this
year, and the history of the
farm which originally had the
allotment is protected. A farm
’ er must plant at least 75 per
cent of his alloted acres to pro
tect the entire allotment.
If acreage is not either
planted or released, the farm’s
allotment will be reduced next
year, under present regulations.
This allotment will not be given
to someone else in the county
or even in the state; it will be
distributed over the entire cot
ton producing section of the
country.
Georgia’s income from cot
ton was reduced some sl2 mil-
(Largoat Coverage Any Weakly la Tha State)
lion in 1960 because of this,
Mr. Sutton said. This was lost
because about 85,000 allotted
acres were not planted.
If this had been released, it
is likely that most of it would
have been planted by someone
else, he said.
Georgia has an increased
cotton allotment for 1961, giv
ing a potential of about 860.000
acres that could be planted. If
this acreage is planted and the
state cotton goal of a bale-per
acre is realized, it could mean
$l4O million to the state’s
economy.
A family hobby is a good way
to bring the family together,
says Miss Audrey Morgan, head
of the Extension family life
department.
