•.. and add to the safety, comfort
and economy of your summer driving
Just as most people need a spring tonic and all cars need a spring
cleaning — your car needs a Spring Certified Car-Check . . . with worn
winter lubricants drained and replaced, the cooling-system flushed and
protected, and all vital points checked and serviced to assure you safer,
care-free summer driving.
Our Certified Spring Car-Check is far more thorough than the old
fashioned “spring changeover.” We follow car-manufacturers’ recommen
dations in servicing and use only quality Standard Oil products. Assure
yourself of top performance from your car this spring and summer by
bringing it in soon for Spring Certified Car-Check.

Mental Health Association can do
its share in fighting mental ill
ness.
Friends of little Hudson Moody
are sorry to know that he is on
the sick list and wish for him a
speedy recovery.
The church family of High
Point enjoyed a chicken supper on
Friday night. After a short devo
tional led by the pastor, the supper
was enjoyed and then games and
contests and fellowship followed.
Mental health is the nation’s
No. 1 health problem. There are
more people in hospitals with
mental illness than with all other
diseases combined.
A contribution to the fight
against mental illness will help
support a four front attack
being carried on by Men tai

Service.
The chairman of the Drive in
this community is Mrs. Bryant
Steele. She is being assisted by
Mrs. J. M. Malcom. Mrs. Tommy
Lassiter, Mrs. James Pinson,
Mrs. J. R. Welch, Mrs. Clyde
Dodd, Mrs. J. T. Smith. We hope
our community will respond gene
rously to this urgent need for
funds to help conquer mental ill
ness.
Feed and Grain
Non-Cooperators
To Miss Benefits
What happens to the corn
and grain sorgum producer who
doesn’t sign - up for the 1961
Feed Grain Program?
“The non-cooperator will
miss out on a few benefits,"
says W. H. Booth, Chairman
of the Agricultural Stabiliza
tion and Conservation State
Committee.
He pointed out that non-co
operators will not be eligible
for price support on corn, grain,
sorghums, oats, barley or rye
of the 1961 crop. This could be
a pretty important factor con
sidering the present huge sur
plus of feed grains,” Mr. Booth
said.
The state chairman warned
that it will be risky for farmers
to count on any increase in
market prices of feed grains.
As cooperating growers receive
payments which represent grain
from Commodity Credit Cor
poration stocks, this grain be
comes available for market and
farm use and will compete with
other feed grain on the market.
Here’s how it works, accord
ing to Mr. Booth.
Cooperators who want to re
ceive the cash equivalent of
grain at the support price may
ask CCC to act as their agent
in marketing their grain. As
agent for the producer, CCC
will advance the payment to
the producer in cash through
the county ASC office and
subsequently market the grain.
Non-cooperators receive on
ly the market price, whatever
it may be. He is only not ineli
gible for feed grain price sup
ports and payments, but he
forgoes the usual price bene
fits of a production adjustment
program as Government stocks
of grain are marketed.
How about the possibility of
a non-cooperator building an
acreage base for future pro
gram? This is also risky, Mr.
Booth said. The Department of
Agriculture, he said, will
strongly recommend to t h e
Congress that any future legis
lation involving establishment
of base acreages for production
adjustment should give no ad
vantage to producers who did
not cooperate in the 1961 feed
grain program.
Veterans Urged
To Report Change
In Address
Veterans or their benefici
aries receiving benefit pay
ments from the Veterans Ad
ministration should promptly
report any change of address
first, to their local Post Office,
and second, to the Veterans
Administration Regional Office

A. W. Tate, Manager, VA
Regional Office, Atlanta, Geor
gia. said that each month sev
eral hundred checks for Geor
gia beneficiaries are returned
by the Post Office as unde
liverable because change of
address had not been filed
with the Post Office.
The Post Office will for
ward checks to the new ad
dress filed with them, and the
Veterans Administration will
take action to chanse the ad
i dress of record so that future

i new address.
On Wednesday, April 26 The
Atlanta Constitution and the
Atlanta Journal carried a news
item from Covington that Miss
May Livingston had passed
away. She was approaching
her 98th birthday. This item,
with a sketch of her life was
published on Thursday, April
27 by the Covington News.
This news must have caused
sadness in the hearts of those
still living who knew her in
her prime.
I met her when I was just a
grown-up boy teaching at the
old Bostwick school in the
Gum Creek Militia District.
She was employed by the
Heard-White mercantile com
pany in Covington. This was
one of the strongest business
firms to be found anywhere at
that time. Here she had an op
portunity to meet and to know
hundreds of persons, who be
came her life-long friends and
admirers. She had all of the
traits and graces measured by
the high standards of South
ern womanhood.
Miss May taught in the New
ton County School system. Mr.
Mr. J. B. Stewart was county
school commissioner and Prof.
Harry Stone was chairman of
the county board of education.
Without stint or regret she
brought sunshine and happi
ness for her heart warming
personality into the life of one
mere boy away from his home
and loved ones.
I was glad to read her bi
ography as given in the News.
I had known Col. L. F. Living
ston, who for a number of
terms had represented the fifth
district in the United States
Cash receipts of Georgia
livestock reached a record high
of almost $421 million in 1960,
according to the Georgia Crop
Reporting Service. This is a
two percent increase above the
previous high recorded in 1958,
and almost nine percent above
returns for 1959.

Congress. In later years, I had
taught several of his grand
children in the Livingston Hig’
School. I had learned to ad
mire the Livingston name and
held those who bore it in high
esteem.
Hence, through the years, I
have carried the worthy image
of “Miss May” and I am sad
dened by her going. Certainly,
her community and all who
knew her have been made bet
ter by her good life.
