Legion Post 31
Discusses Food
Surplus Program
Newton County Post 32
American Legion held its May
Meeting Tuesday at Legion
Home with an attendance of
some 52 members. Main item
for discussion on the business
program was the participation
of the post in the food surplus
program being proposed for
Newton County.
The Legion Committee of
Darrell Harper and Robert
Nash reported at the meeting
that they had made a trip to
Jackson to see how the food
was distributed in Butts Coun
ty. During the open discussion
of the project the members de
cided that the post would lend
every assistance to the venture
if it were started in New
ton County.
The Legion has offered the
use of their facilities at Le
gion Field for storing the food
and as a distribution point for
the project, it was stated.
Both Mr. Harper and Mr.
Nash said it would take a “lot
of time and labor to properly
handle the program in New
t County.”
James Knight made an an
nouncement that the Emer
gency Planning Commission of
Newton County is actively at
work in carrying on defense
measures in the county. He
stated that should an emer
gency arise due to armed hos
tilities that the local Ameri
can Legion Post would be one
of the first organizations call
ed upon.
Bill Allgood read a resolu
tion pertaining to re-employ
ment rights of those who leave
their job to perform military
service or training. The reso
lution was unanimously adopt
ed. The resolution is carried at
the conclusion of this article.
Vets who are ill at the pre
sent time were announced at
the meeting. They include:
Grady Lawson, Boykin Rob
ertson, L. J. Moore, Paul Ro
quemore, Reginald Robinson,
Myers Chapman, Stoney Wil
banks and Dr. J. M. Allison.
Stone Cooper reported on the
formation and fielding of the
1961 Legion Junior Baseball
team again in Newton County.
llt was suggested that a nom
inal amount of money would
be needed this year and that
season tickets be sold for SI.OO
for some 6 or 8 games.
Allgood’s resolution adopt
ed at the meeting follows:
WHEREAS, the Universal
Military Training and Service
Act provides for the procure
ment of military manpower es
sential to a strong national de
fense, and
WHEREAS, this same Act
ensures that the re-employ
ment rights of those who leave
their jobs to perform training
or service in the armed forces
THE COVINGTON NEWS
I shall not be impaired, and
WHEREAS, the American
. Legion has consistently sup
ported a strong military estab
lishment with full recognition
of the justice in protecting ex
servicemen, reservists and
members of the National Guard
against the loss of their jobs
and other re-employment bene
fits because of their absence in
the armed forces, and
WHEREAS, the re-employ
ment statutes are not clear with
respect to rights of employees
who leave positions on proba
tion to enter upon military ser
vice or training duty, now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, by Post No. 32
of the American Legion in re
gular meeting at Covington,
Georgia on May 2, 1961 that we
request the Congress to ensure
that adequate personnel is em
ployed in the Bureau of Vete
rans’ Re-employment Rights to
enable it to provide prompt and
effective service to all persons
having rights and obligations
under the re-employment rights
statutes, and be it further.
RESOLVED, that we request
the Bureau to submit to the
Congress amendments to t h e
law that will provide re-em
ployment protection for em
ployees who leave positions on
probation to enter the armed
forces, and be it further
RESOLVED, that this reso
lution be forwarded to t h e
Georgia Department Head
quarters of the American Le
gion for consideration at the
1961 State Convention.

Doctor Irville H. MacKinnon,
Suoerintendent, announced to

“We use a lot of modern
methods, techniques and med
icines at Milledgeville,” Dr.
MacKinnon said, “but none has
more in therapeutic value than
the medicine of friendship
which will be exhibited by the
visitors to the state hospital
during Mental Health Week.
To know that they have not
been forgotten, to know that
there are people who care
gives our patients the courage
and strength to continue the
battle for recovery. We hope
Georgians will avail themselves
of this opportunity to see what
the hospital is doing in t h e
treatment of mental illness.”
A varied program is being
prepared by hospital personnel
for the visitors. In addition to
tours of the various hospital
buildings, a special sidewalk ex
hibit of “patient art” will be
presented by the Occupational
Therapy Department. Some
outstanding work in oils, water
colors and pencil, pen and
charcoal will be exhibited and
available for purchase by visi

to the auditorium for the ini
