“In looking at this matter of |
education, one disquieting fac

is the time it takes in o u r
country to achieve wide diffu

f o r educational adaptations
which would result in a broad
improvement among students
in the areas of economic a n d
political understanding and n |
science, math, reading a n d|

“Traditionally, in this country,
it takes many years for worth=

to achieve relatively wide

fmight well occupy the atten
tion, not only of teachers, school
officials and school boards, but
that of the public at large.” He
added: “In making this point,
I am certainly not urging na
tional standardization of the
American school system. I sug
gest, however, in the light of
our national needs in these
troubled times, that the inter
ests of business, education and
total society might better be
served if wide-spread accep~
tance of worthwhile innovations
could be achieved more quick
ly throughout our educational
system.”
~ In Covington, we have had
'many exchange students from
~other countries. I distinctly re
‘member one of the students,
staying in the home of our son
in South Georgia, saying that
he would have to take the 12th
Grade over when he went home
for their 11th Grade, which he
said was practically the same ag
our 12 Grade. I am sure you
have noted the difference, also.
It would be wise for our State
to adopt a workable plan,
whereby more emphasis could
be upon giving the high school
graduate a well rounded edu=
cation. There are so many who
do not attend college. Too, in
our personal opinion, the chal«
lenge to the student (in his
own mind) is to see that we
have the best football team. . .
that I must be the best cheer=
leader; we must have the best
basketball team; our uniforms
must be the finest; our trips ‘o
other towns. .. well “fessor,
you know what I mean”, . .we
just do not have time to study
+ « « but we'll ‘get by’ . .., thats
one thing we personally feel
the student should be impress
ed with, Qur teachers are worn
out trying to “impress” and
this T well know! But while we
-are working out a higher edu
cation for the High School Stu
dent. . . lets get very strict
about the extras that come.
You know the band. . . the
football and basketball coach«
es, . are not going to want to loss
their best trumpet player, their
best halfback. . .their best cheer
leader or what have you, just
because they think more of the
activities on the grounds and
in vigiting cities. . . but I know
the students, nor we, would
like for them to drop the
“other than books” activities.
Your Office Boy can tell you
what to do. . . because did you
know I'm a retired school
teacher? You would never have
guessed it, would you? No pen=
gion for sure! But I really did
teach all day one day and re~
tired that night! So I know full
well the teacher's ?roblmu. ‘
and my hat is off to every
teacher in the nation! Under
different circumstances I pro
bably would have been teach
ing yet. . . for our young peo
ple. . .well that’s where my
heart is. . with them!
Don’t miss a single service at
the Presbyterian church, at 7:30
each evening. . . Revival with
one of the finest “SCOTCH"” -
men in the pulpit since Peter
Marshall. Thats what I love
about Covington (one thing,
for I love every inch of it) the
doors of every church have the
welcome sign out for all people
at the revivals and just any
old time, We have the most
cooperative Churches of a n y
‘town I know. You will be sor
ry if you miss this man of God.
He is also an accomplished mu
sician . . . and one night this
week he and Tom White
(whom, he says he finds an ac
complished musician) will play
a. .. what shall I call it. . . any
way he will ph&hthe piano and
the Rev. Mr. ite will play
the harmonica! Don’t miss that.
Wonder who'd like to play
with my broom. . . it's a won
derful pet. . but comes my way
all too often . . . and here it is
now. . .. 8o I'd better be about

Winter Checkup Can Help
Prevent Pouliry Problems
Cold nights and chilling winds,
bringing additional problems for
Georgia poultrymen, are not far
off.
Extension Poultryman Milton Y.
Dendy of the University of Geor
gia College of Agriculture remind
ed producers this week that there
is not much time left to prepare
houses and equipment for cold
weather,
The time is about gone when
dealers will put chicks into just
any old house. With keen compet
ition and low profit margins,
dealers must be reasonably sure
that broiler houses will provide a
satisfactory environment for grow
ing chicks, Mr. Dendy said.
Houses should be capable of
providing a dry, warm environ.
‘ment, with ample fresh air but
free of drafts, especially during
the first four or five weeks of the
}broodms period. Many broiler
‘houses still do not measure up to
these requirements, but most
could be made satisfactory with
a little remodeling, the poultry
‘man said.
~ He made the following suggest
jons for getting houses ready for
cold weather:
First, make a check-list divided
into four parts: roof, walls, floor
and equipment. Under each list
the jobs that need to be completed
to winter-proof the birds’ environ
ment,
Repair the roof if any leaks
have developed and fasten on
securely before winde begin to
blow. Ventilators should be put in
order so adjustments can be made
easily.
Close cracks in walls, whether
fabric curtain, wood siding,
plastic film or other material. Be
sure windows or shutters close
tightly.
Clean, dry litter should cover
the floor to a depth of four to six
inches.
Be sure all equipment is in
good working order and in cond
ition to remain so throughout the
winter. Check electrie, gas and
water lines. Make preparations to

missioners and of the Morgan
County Hospital Authority.
Georgia has completed the
task of reapportioning the Gen
eral Assembly in accordance
with federal court orders. The
bill passed in the f'“ust-en,ded
special session redistricts the
Senate on a population basis.
The House of Representatives
remains as it is. {
While reapportionment was
a bitter pill for some Georgia
legislators to swallow, the leg
islation sailed through both
houses with surprising ease.
Governor-nominate Carl E.
Sanders had insisted all along
that Georgia should do her own
reapportioning rather than sit
}ivdly by and let. the federal
court do it. After the session
'got undeér way, he displayed
outstanding leadership in steer
ing through the reapportion
‘ment plan.
The governor-to-be not only
‘acted as his own floor leader,
but he took a strong stand be
hind-the-scenes in committee
meetings,
The reapportionment plan,
as adopted, reorganizes the
state’s present 54 senatorial
districts on a population basis.
It gives 23 Senate seats to the
nine most populous counties.
Fulton County, alone, will
have seven senators instead of
the present one.
The restricting bill sets Oct.
16 as the date for a primary
for nominating new senators.
the date set for runoffs, if that
becomes necessary, is one week
later, Oct. 23. Election of sena
tors in the regular Democratic
primary on Sept. 12 did not
count. It was under the old ro
tation system.

Crowell. Each giving time to

The Recreation Department

and teen-agers. People who
love and respect our youth can
fielp in the smallest ways
sometimes, or be the biggest
thing in the lives of those who
will someday have the respon
sibility of governing this coun

With Midget Football in pro

the Recreation Department is
underway with its program
and as time advances, a fuller
and more active program will

Adequate preparations now will
mean better feed conversion,

concluded.
New Treatment
For Lung Cancer
~ Medical researchers at Em
ory University are studying a
new form of treatment for lung
}cmcer using radioactive cobalt
)both before and after surgery.
In 10 of 12 cases receiving
the radiation treatment prior
to surgery so far eirculation in
the lung was dc;mly improved
and tumors dramatically de
creased in size, according to Dr.
Osler A, Abbott,
Dr. Abott is chief of the di
vision of thoracic surgery in
the Emor{ hospital and asso
)ehu professor of surgery in
itho School of Medicine.
~ The patients then underwent
the removal of all visible can
cer in the chest. Radiation
treatment was continued for
eight weeks afterwards.
It is too soon to tell the ul
timate results but prior to use
of the new method none of the
patients treated ecould have
been operated on, Dr. Abbott
says.
This research is part of that
being conducted under a John
A. Hartford Foundation, Inc.
grant,
