R. L Cousins School Christmas
Parade Held Thursday in City
This is the third year the
R. L. Cousins School has spon
sored a parade. Yet, through
the organizations of the
schools we have been able to
sponsor this parade in a very
economical manner.
The parade is one aspect of
revealing to the community
the activities of the schools, in
order that the patrons of the
school may feel more respon
sive in helping us to pay for
the band uniforms, celebrat
ing the crowning of our queen
and for the parents and pa
trons of the school to put
their home chores aside to en
joy the spirit of Christmas
with us.
Our sincere gratitude is
hereby expressed to each or
ganization and each individual
who had a part in making our
parade a success. We mention
especially the mayor of Cov
ington, Mr. N. S. Turner, The
East Newton School Io Present
Christmas Prooram Friday, 8 p.m.

Easy*To*Do Fruit Cake
I PU. It HP
L^A 1
It’s truly as simple as one-two-three putting together “Quick
Light Fruit Cake” for the Christmas season.
First, prepare the contents of a package of pound cake mix.
Then toss together crunchy slivered almonds, whole candied
cherries, sliced fresh dates, bits of candied pineapple, grated
lemon rind and flour. Finally, fold the mixture into the batter—
and let the oven do the rest!
Crisp almonds provide excellent texture and subtle flavor m
this made-in-a-jiffy cake, which may be further enhanced by a
lemon-flavored powdered sugar glaze bedecked with blanched
whole almonds.

there will be no delay in start
ing the program.
There will be no charge for
admission. Refreshments will
be sold before Curtain Time

The Christmas Spirit was be
gun at the school on Decem
ber 1, 1961 when Mrs. D. C.
Kendrick, Chairman of The
Decorating Committee, made
beautiful table ornaments for
the Cafetorium. The spirit was
made more meaningful by the
playing of carols during the
Lunch Period.
When we were children we
were grateful to those who filled
our stockings with toys at
Christmas - tide. Why are we
not grateful to God for filling
our stockings with legs? —

Mel Tuesday I
The third monthly meeting of'
East Newton Elementary
School PTA was held on Tues
day Evening with Mrs. E. J.
Smith presiding. Devotions
were conducted by Mrs. Eliza
beth Freeman, Chaplain. These
services were followed by t h e
Business Session in which re
ports from the various commit
tees were heard. There was a
very splendid report from the
Treasurer, Mrs. Bertie L.
Marks. Remarks were also pre
sented by the principal with
special information with refer
ence to School Attendance.
Each student must attend school
a definite number of days be
fore he can be considered for
promotion. This was stressed,
because many students remain
at home many times when they
could come to school. It was
agreed that each PTA member
would try to encourage all stu
dents who live in their imme
diate neighborhood to attend
school as often as possible.
The third in a series of pan
els was masterly presented with
Mrs. S. N. Syphoe serving as
chairman. Other panelists were
Mesdames R. B. Burdette, Vi
vian P. Turner, Corene Brown
; and Marie Jackson. The gen
' eral theme was “Discipline In
I The Home, School and Com
j munity”. After the findings of
I the panel members had been
■ presented, there was a general
i group discussion. These panel
i discussions have been very en
i riching to the monthly meet-
I ings.

THE COVINGTON NEWS
Dangers Accompany Many Home
Decorations for Christmas
Electrical shock, fire and 1
poisoning are some of the dan
gers that accompany Christmas
decorations.
News stories appear every
Christmas telling of family
tragedies to mar the happiness
of the season. A few precau
tions can prevent such a tra
gedy from occurring as a result
of the dangers inherent in holi
day decorations, suggests Ex
tension Engineer Willis E. Hus
ton of the University of Geor
gia College of Agriculture.
Mr. Huston pointed out the
following dangers and made
suggestions for preventing ac
cidents:
Metallic Christmas trees that
have become popular reduced
the fire hazard of real trees,
but introduced a new one—the
shock hazard. Putting lights on
Auto Seat Belts
Are Thoughtful
Christmas Gifts
Because 1.200.000 Americans
are injured each year in traf
fic accidents and 38,000 of
these die, a campaign to have
seat belts installed in cars is
now being conducted in t h e
United States.
Seat belts are highly effective
in preventing or reducing in
juries in accidents, several
studies have shown.
Seat belts would be a won
derful Christmas present for
members of the family, one
that might possibly save their
lives or the agony of serious
injury, suggests Miss Lucile
Higginbotham, head of the Ex
tension health department. Un
iversity of Georgia College of
Agriculture.
She pointed out that medical
authorities have stated that
public ignorance and apathy of
the value of this safety device
are leading to needless traffic
injuries and deaths every day.
Studies also show that cer
tain widespread popular be
liefs are not supported by facts,
she continued.
For example, it is untrue that
few serious accidents happen at
low speeds and that most ser
ious accidents occur far from
home. To the contrary, studies
show that 47 percent of all traf
fic deaths occur in accidents at
speeds of less than 40 miles per
hour and that 66 per cent oc
cur within 25 miles of the dri
ver’s home. It is important to
fasten seat belts at all times,
even when driving a short dis
tance from home.
Most seat belts used in t h e
United States fasten across the
lap like those in airliners. The
European type loops over t h e
shoulders. Studies have shown
that both models are equally
effective.

metal trees is dangerous, for
should the wiring be faulty the s
whole tree could come “alive”
and electrocute someone touch
ing it. Manufacturers recom- '
mend that colored spot light, s
placed beside or above the me- <
tallic tree, be used for lighting j
effects.
Lights on real trees still cause
fires every year, and some
times bulb exposions occur.
The only way to be safe in
buying lighting equipment is
to look for the Underwriters’
Laboratories seal.
Another fire hazard to which
the National Fire Protection
Association has called atten
tion is the practice of mixing
angel hair and snow spray.
Both are advertised as non
flammable and if used alone
are essentially safe, the NFPA
reports. When they are com
bined. as for example on a
Christmas tree, they become so
flammable that only a touch
of flame sends them into a
burst of fire.
White plastic foam used for
ornaments and other Christ
mas decorations also burns
easily and can be ignited by a
spark. Blue - colored plastic
foam, however, has been treat
ed to make it fire-resistant.
A new gimmick for holiday
fun is the “dancing mothball.”
This is made by placing moth
balls in a colored solution of
vinegar and water, and when
baking soda is added it releases
carbon dioxide causing the
mothballs to jump. Since moth
balls are poisonous, this is not
a game for children.
Some other modern decorat
ing practices could also be
toxic to small children. Bub
bling tree lights contain methy
lene chloride which if swal
lowed could cause slight pois
oning.
Fire salts that produce col
ored flames on logs have met
al bases which could cause
sickness if swallowed. Berries
on holly and mistletoe also
contain a poison that produces
severe nausea.
The best rule. Mr. Huston
says, is to keep Christmas dec
orations out of a young child’s
reach.

Under the law, the trainees

schools forward certifications to
this effect to the VA.
Immediately upon the close
of the November period, the
students and schools completed
the certifications in record time
and got them off to the VA far
ahead of schedule, so everybody
became “Santa’s Helpers.”
