Not only was sympathy ex
! pressed in flowers, food, cards
!and visits; but in such tangi
i ble ways as shouldering the
i tasks of farm chores. Friends
and neighbors plowed, chopped
out and poisoned sixty acres of
cotton; plowed out corn and
other row crops; and for ten
days milked cows of the dairy
heard, and prepared the milk
for market. “There was not
anything that could be done,
that was not done for us, and
we just can’t express all t h e
gratitude in our hearts", Mrs.
Henderson stated. Even a purse
of some S3OO was pressed upon
them, from friends throughout
the county. Ministers, chrch or
ganizations and individuals
joined hands to “see the Hen
dersons through” their hour of
sorrow.
We are grateful for the privi
lege of living in that kind of
community; and although there
may be some who take issue
with our oft repeated statement
relative to Newton County —
we still believe — “It is t h e

generously as they can every

is their note of Thanks:
“Dear Friends of Newton

both white and colored, for
their wonderful participation
and assistance. Your contribu

We will have a meeting at
the Washington Street School

possible to attend this meeting.
Our playground equipment
has arrived, and is being erect

we hope to have it completed
in the near future. — Bobby

Carolina, Virginia. West Vir
ginia and the District of Co
lumbia. The South Central
States (Alabama, Arkansas,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississip
pi, Oklahoma, Tennessee and
Texas) account for 1,293,000
shareowners, or another 7.6
per cent of the national total.
The incidence of shareowner
ship for the South Atlantic
States is 7.6 per cent of total
population. For Georgia it is
4.3 per cent.
“Shareownership has increas
ed in every state since our last
Census in 1959," Mr. Funston
declared, commenting on t h e
latest survey in the Exchange’s
series, the only shareowner
studies of their kind and scope
ever made.
“The increase in the last
three years has been at a rela
tively uniform rate in t h e
seven geographic regions in the
Census. The most significant
shareowner growth is discern
ible in smaller and medium -
sized communities. One-quar
ter of all shareowners now live
in communities of 2,500 to 25.-
000. Another 22 per cent live
in cities of 25,000 to 100,000
Three out of four shareowners
now live in major population
centers classified as metropoli
tan areas.
America’s shareowning popu
lation of 17 million persons in
1962 is 10 million higher than
the total estimated in the first
Census taken by the Exchange a
decade ago, and 4.5 million
above the 1959 figure. The
average growth of 1.5 million
shareowners a year since 1959,
Mr. Funston noted, has acceler
afted from a rate of about 850,-
000 between 1952 and 1959.
The four shareowner sur
veys conducted by the Ex
change since 1952 have deter
mined the number of invididual
shareowners in publicly held
U. S. corporations, as well as
personal characteristics of
shareowners. They have reveal
ed these shareowner totals.
1952 - 6,490,000
1956 - 8,630,000
1959 - 12,490,000
1962- 17,010,000
(An interim estimate of 15
million shareowners was made
in early 1961, based on projec
tions of growth experienced in
preceding periods.)
Among shareowner charac
teristics described in the new
Census are the facts, for in
stance, that women still out
number men as shareowners —
51 to 49 per cent, compared
with 52.5 to 47.5 per cent in
1959 — and that more than half
the women shareowners are
wives.
The average shareowner is
48, compared with 49 three
years ago, and has an annual
household income of $8,600, up
sharply from $7,000 in 1959.
Nearly three million clerical
and sales people —a million
more than in 1959 — comprise
the largest segment of the em
ployed shareowner population,
followed by 2,682,000 profes
sional and semi-professional
persons and 2,276,000 proprie
tors, managers and officials.
Four out of five adult share
owners completed high school;
more than half have some col
lege training: and nearly one
third are college graduates.
Persons in these educational
categories accounted for 95 per
cent of the increase in adult
shareownership since 1959.
Shareownership among mi
nors has jumped from 197,000
in 1959 to 450,000, apparently

or Patronage Capital.
At the end of each fiscal
year the Cooperative deter
mines its ratio of margins to
total revenue and arrives at a
percentage. This percentage is
applied to the total amount
paid by each member for elec
tricity "during the year. The re
sulting amount is then credit
ed to the member’s patronage
capital account for future re
fund.
These credits continue to ac
! cumulate as long as the mem
ber is receiving service from
the Cooperative. However, if
the member moves off the
E.M.C.’s permanently, he is
still eligible to receive refunds
as they become payable.
Manager Robinson's state
ment was optimistic about fu
ture refunds: “We are reason
ably certain that this program
will continue. Each year the
Board will examine the finan
cial condition of the Coopera
tive and decide on the percent
of total accumulated patronage
capital to be returned. Under
extremely adverse conditions
the payments would be su
spended. However, under very
favorable conditions the per
cent of refund could be in
creased slightly over this year.”

oer cent of all shareowning
families have children.
The new Census also shows
that 11.015,000, or nearly two
thirds of the 17,010,000 share
owners in 1962, own shares
listed on the New York Stock
Exchange; another ~770,000
own only shares listed else
where or traded over-the
counter; and 2,165,000 own
shares in investment compan
ies. principally mutual funds.
This last category increased by
75 per cent since 1959.
The 1962 Census encompass
ed 6,278 corporations whose
shares are traded publicly on
the nation’s securities exchang
es or otherwise, and are held
by at least 300 stockholders of

Purina Pasture Feeding Test Shows
GRASS-FED COWS
ARE STILL HUNGRY!
Grass alone doe* not provide enough nu
trients for milking cows. A Purina experiment
proved how important supplemental grain
feeding is to cows on grass.
Two groups of 9 cow* each were evenly
{elected. They were fed a 16% Purina milk
ing ration until April, then turned out to
pasture. One group continued to get the
milking ration, I lb. grain to 3 lbs. milk.
The other received no grain.
Although it was a good pasture year, the
grass-only group *oon lost the slight lead in
production they had before going to grass.
How to cut the cost of egg production!
Feeding program* using Purina Chows have
been carefully designed by Purina Research
to make them extremely easy to use with
outstanding results. Purina Chow* have these
obvious advantages over many other brands
of feed:

By the end of summer the 9 grain-fed cow*
were well ahead.
The real difference showed the next fall
and winter. Cows that got grain were in
good condition and produced well through
the winter. The others went into the barn in
poor condition. Although the whole group
was on milking ration from October, grass
only cows couldn't catch up.
At the end of the test, grain-fed cows
were ahead by 1,750 lbs. EXTRA milk per
cow . . . more than enough to pay for extra
grain fed.
