"We fed her 23 lbs. of Red Rose 14 Test-Cow per
day and good hay. She held her body weight all
through the hot weather. Red Rose 14 Test-Cow is .
better than any feed we have ever used. It kept her
appetite from lagging, and she also maintained pro
duction during the warm summer months when pro
duction Ordinarily drops,” say the owners.

In reporting on the expan
sion of services, Lassiter dis
cussed new insurance plans in
troduced during 1961. He
stated that the new plans were
developed in response to the
needs of member-policyhold
ers. and were a direct result of
discussions with policyholders
and local insurance agents.
His report included discus
sion of Cotton States’ new
quarterly billing plan. He also
reported that automobile cov
erages were being expanded to
automatically include emer
gency road service into com
prehensive coverage, and that
basic property damage liabili
ty is being increased automati
cally to $10,000.00.
Speaking of expanded poli-
cyholders and claims service,
Lassiter said that a great deal
of progress had been made in
1361. He stated that the com
panies maintained eighteen
full-time claims adjusters in
the field at all times, and tha f
smaller claims reported to the
home office were handled on a
“fast-track” basis, resulting in
faster service to policyholders
throughout Georgia and Flori
da. He also mentioned the im
proved tabulating services,
which utilize the newest elec
tronic equipment for faster,
more efficient service.
He reported that the com
bined assets of the Cotton
States Mutual Insurance
Company and the cotton
States Life and Health Insur
ance Comnanv were approach
ing $6,000,000.00. He contrast
ed the current asset picture
with the combined assets in
1956 of less than $1,700,000.00.
He attributed a record growth
of the companies during the
past five years to active poli
cyholder support and to im
proved sales and servicing
methods.
Commenting on the opera
tions of the Cotton States Life
and Health Insurance Com
pany, Lassiter said that the
company was showing a profit
its sixth year of operation. He
reported that the profitable op
eration this early in the history
of the company was consider
ed an excellent record. Gen
erally speaking, newly orga
nized life insurance companies
rarely reflect profits before the
tenth or twelfth year of oper
ation, he added.
Speaking of the future. Las
s:ter said that the Cotton
States Insurance Companies
are on the threshold of unpre
cendented growth. Recalling
the growth of the past few
years, he stated that in the
ten year period from 1950 to
1960, premium income advanc
ed from aporoximately $250,-
000.00 in 1950 to over $6,000,-
000.00 in 1960. He predicted
even greater growth during the
next ten years as the companies
continue to exnand their ser
vices and facilities.

Mrs. Hood’s Second Grade
Some of us are now reading in
Friendly Village. We like these
stories because they remind us
of ourselves and things we like
to do.
Our class has moved to an
other room. After the gymna
sium burned, we had to rea
range several classrooms. We
like our new room very much.
The Christmas season brings
many pleasures to us. We have
learned some new songs, but
many of the old familiar songs
are our favorites. Several pf
us, "want our two front teeth”
for Christmas. Very soon we
will draw names and make
plans for our Christmas Party.
Boys and girls in our room
are delighted to have new
modeling clay. We have made
some nice Santa Clauses and
snowmen.

Fourth Grade
Our class and Mrs. Berry’s
fourth grade have moved to the
room in the basement where
we are all together and we are
being taught by team teaching.
This was necessary after the
fire. Our teachers are real
proud of how well we have ad
justed to this change.
In Social Studies we have
been studying about Eskimos
and we have had a nice ima
ginary trip to King William
Island with Nik and Arluk the
Eskimo boy and girl. We have
learned lots about their cus
toms and ways of life.
We are studying one of our
favorite chapters in Science. It
is the one about Stars. We have
enjoyed some of the old myths.
Many of us have become star
gazers and can find some of the
constellations in the sky.
We are all getting the
"Christmas Spirit”. We have
listened to Christmas records,
sang Christmas Carols and
are planning to make some de
corations for our room and our
tree. Some of us are wonder
ing though just where we will
put our tree as our room is
just about full of boys and
girls.
It's a crime that a moving

Christmas Mailing
Urged Now by
Local Postmaster
With the peak of the big
Christmas mail ruch just over
the horizon, Postmaster E. L
Stephenson said today that
every postal employee is dig
ging in harder than ever to
insure delivery of all Christ
mas cards and gift packages
before Christmas Day. The flood
of outgoing Christmas cards
and gifts is about equal to the
torrents of incoming mail that
are getting larger every day.
The Postmaster urges that all
of us make it a point to “Do it
now!” A delay of a few hours
at this critical time may mean
disappointing young friends
and loved ones on Christmas
Day.
Be sure to tie your Christ
mas cards in bundles, with ad
dresses all facing one way, us
ing labels you can secure from
the Post Office marked, “ALL
FOR LOCAL DELIVERY" and
“ALL FOR OUT OF TOWN
DELIVERY.” Post Office win
dows will be ooen from 8:30
A.M. to 5:00 P.M., for your
convenience. Don’t forget to
put your name and address on
all Christmas card envelopes
and package labels. Tying in
with the National Improved
Mail Service program, the
Postmaster urges that you di
vide your mailings into various
groups, with those for most
distant places going first, mak
ing it a point to mail early in
the day.
The Postmaster especially re
quests that you get your out
of-State packages into the
Post Office immediately and
to do everything possible to
mail all of your Christmas gifts
for local delivery by Decem
ber 10th and your Christmas
cards to nearby points by at
least a week before Christmas.
Read and heed traffic signs,
the Allstate Safety Crusade
emphasizes. There is a reason
for their being there, .
