A Tribute to
Thanksgiving Day
As was done by the Pilgrims many years ago, we give thanks
for the many harvests with which God has made our lives so
abundant. It is fine and fitting that a plump, roasted tur
key .. symbol of Thanksgiving Day .. should grace our table
for all to enjoy. Yet it is fitting, too, that we should pause in
our Bountiful Feasting and really give Spiritual thanks to
Him who has made all these things possible. Let us be rev
erent .. as well as just humanly hungry .. this Thanksgiving.
Let's look beyond that table loaded with food . . and remem
ber our blessings in all humility!

Newton Band Is
Complimented

Athens, Ga.
Nov. 8, 1961
It was recently my pleasure
to have an opportunity to wit
ness a football halftime per
formance by the Newton Coun
ty High School Band. The show,
of extended length and great
difficulty, was executed with
virtually flawless precision, and
with a refreshing verve and
vitality.
Over the past several years,
I have seen and heard many
marching bands in our section
of the country, and I can say
with complete frankness that
this performance exhibited the
finest marching I have ever
seen by a band in our slate.
The band not only marched
superbly, but was highly musi
cal in every respect, and evi
denced the highest type of
training in all aspects of per
formance.
The spirit of the band is vis
ible at the first glance, and the
individual pride taken by each
member in his organization can
be directly traced to superior
leadership and a well-conceiv
ed and consistent program of
instruction.
The Newton County High
School community can take
great pride in the accomplish
ments of this splendid group of
young people under their gifted
director, Mr. Basil Rigney. With
continued community and ad
ministrative support, this fine
band should attract a great
deal of state-wide and national
attention, as a model of its
type, I can only send Sincere
best wishes to you for con
tinued success in your great
work.
Sincerely Yours,
Roger L. Dancz

cators Association.
Cleaning Os

Carving Delayed
The Stone Mountain Memor
: lal Association voted unani
' mously to delay any work or
cleaning on the Confederate

. ly participating in a competi
i tion as to what should be done
to complete the unfinished
■ carving have an opportunity to
i submit their proposals.
Matt L. McWhorter, chair
. man of the association, said that
• the association had been con
i templating cleaning the carv- i
; ing, but action was taken at!
| this morning’s meeting of the j
; board to hold off on doing any
■ thing to the carving as this is j
' a technical problem and should
i be decided by artists and sculp- j
| tors familiar with this type of |
• work.
Proposals from nine artists
I invited to submit three-foot
; scale models of their ideas as
to what should be done as a
i memorial are due to be in the ;
I association’s hands by Septem- J
; ber of 1962.
The nine artists were invited
jto participate in this competi- ■
j tion after a committee of art
. critics, suggested by Lamar ■
| Dodd of the University of
i Georgia Art Department, sub- j
| mitted 20 names of artists j
• around the world capable of
■ undertaking finishing the me
■ morial.
Mr. McWhorter said that as
' soon as the nine models are re
' ceived the association will make
a decision as to the best propo
sal, and work to restore, clean
or complete the memorial carv
ing will get underway.

TROOP 1062
Monday, November 20, we
opened our meeting with the
Girl Scout Promise and sang
the Hymn of Scouting.
Miss Peggy Jaynes was with
us to help us achieve our
Health Aid and Child Care
badges. She told us much we
could do about many common
casualties as how to remove a
splinter, how to pop a blister,
what to do for sunburn and a
pain in the abdomen.
Also she told us many of
the characters of small child
ren for whom we are baby -
sitting and how to handle them.
Then we had refreshments
and closed our meeting.
We thank Miss Jaynes for all
her help and for giving her
time to come and talk to us.

Covington FHA
Hears Dr. Crews
At Meeting
The November meeting of
the Covington Chapter. Future
Homemakers of America was
devoted to a study of a Mental
Health program for New’ton
County, in line with the State
FHA project for 1961-62. Chap
ter business was dispensed
with so all the time could be
allotted to Dr. Thomas L.
Crews, who spoke on Mental
Health. His speech was most in
tererting and informative.
He said, in substance. It is I
difficut to differentiate between
mental and physical health, i
Many doctors can find no phy
sical disease yet the person
feels ill. Emotion plays a large
part in mental health. Some of
the strains and stresses of our
modern society (Between what
we want to do and what we are
expected to do) may cause mal
adjustment.
He made suggestions on how
to secure help if one feels in
secure and cannot fit his en
vironment without great effort.
Answering questions from the
floor Dr. Crews said that if help
is needed we should see our
physician, or talk to our teach
ers or our minister. Dr. Crews
suggested that, now that New
ton County has an established
program on Mental Health it
would be very helpful if we
as individuals and as an organ
ization would contribute to and
support the County Program.
