“Our days and nights are lea
den things,
Like wounded birds with bro
ken wings;
No longer do they soar and
sing
A song of Life that joy can
bring!
Maimed by grief they waver
and sway
Along their colorless, earth
bound way,
Their rhythm with Luighter
has no part.
But echoes the requiem within
my heart.
The Va!ley of Shadow holds me
still,
Numbing emotion, stilling the
will;
I am loathe io leave that now
closed door
That holds our beloved,
forevermore.
But. whispering, ‘The bond of
love transcends
All Life and Death, and on
naught depends;’
His Presence lifts us from blind
sorrow
To heights of Faith to face
Tomorrow”.
“Facing Tomorrow”
- — M. S. M.
The balm of human kindness
is surely God's ministry to
those who know the heartbreak
of tragedy and loss of loved
ones. Motivated by His Spirit,
it is then that we yearn to help
lift the burden of those we call
“friend”; and acts of kindness
•re limited only by means and
ability.
Occasionally, in sorrow, a
community’s outreach of love
and sympathy transcends mere
human kindness, and becomes a
shining symbol of the Master’s
commandment, “L o v e Thy
Neighbor as Thyself”. And this
is what it meant to Mr. and
Mrs. Charles R. Henderson
when Newton Countians re
cently showered them with
concern, understanding sym-

Georgia Field Day Held
Tuesday A t Hay fields Farm
Mr. and Mrs. Sam Hay, Jr.,
entertained over 100 fellow
Holstein Breeders and friends
at their Hayfield Farm, Cov
ington, Georgia. Hayfield Hol
steins are widely known for ,
their high milk production and
pleasing type. Many animals
have been sold from the herd
for top money. Production on
the herd in 1961 was 15,184
pounds of milk and 536 pounds ;
of butterfat which is an out
standing record also.
The occasion was the an
nual Georgia Holstein Associa
tion Field Day. One is held
each year at some Holstein
Farm located in the state.
Mr. Bob Long, chairman, An- ।
imal Industries Division, Uni- <
versity of Georgia was the:
principal speaker of the day. <
His discussion centered on the i
responsibility of the register
ed animal breeder. Responsi
bility is greater today than <
ever before because of the ne- i
cessity of having cattle that ■
will perform under other peo
ples conditions. The breeder al- .
so needs some public relations i
to help the consumer under- .
stand the value of his product. .
Improve cattle, have public re
lations, help the youth and be
able to evaluate yourself. 1

this year, according to informa
tion released to The Covington

The 4% refund was voted by
the E.M.C.’s ten-man Board of
Directors following a detailed
study of the Corporation's fi
nancial standing. Board Presi
dent R. O. Robertso< of De-
Kalb County pointed out that
the Corporation’s Equity has
increased to the point that th s
year’s refund may be made
without Jeopardizing the sound
financial condition of the busi
ness.
Mr. Robertson further ex
plained that marginal funds
accumulated to date have been
used for three purposes:
1. For principal payments to
the Rural Electrification Ad
ministration
2. As a cash reserve against
emergency expenditures
3. As evidence of member
ownership of the business.
“These same factors”, stated
• President Robertson, “must
f likewise be applied in the fu
t tore. Although patronage re
’ funds will be made, a large pm
i tion of these funds must b«
i held in reserve.”
