case of a real emergency.
Some of us rode busses but we
still ran wnen we got off of
them as fast as we could go.
We are proud of this first
evacuation program and our
principal said wo did a good
job.

"Rampage"
Has Busy Year
One of the active organiza- j
tions of the high school that
the public doesn't hear too
much about is the school pa- i
per, the "Rampage”. However,
we feel the work of this active
group deserves a little public
ity.
The work of the “Rampage”
staff started the week before |
srhooL At this, time, the Staff j
of editors met and drew up a
constitution. With this to go by,
the Staff published the first
edition on September 28, and
the second on October 26. The j
Staff now plans to publish the I
paper monthly for the rest of j
the year.
Each month the "Rampage”
includes campus news, sports.
club news, editorials and cam
pus gossip. i
The Staff is made up of ca- •
! pable students interested in j
; journalism who meet the aca- '.
demic and other requirements |
stated in the constitution. This
year’s Editorial Staff is: Edi
tor, Dana Kemp; Co-Editor,
Brenda Moon; Managing Edi
tor, Carole Hudson: Feature
Editor, Vicky McGiboney;
Sports Editor, Jordye Bailey;
Art Editor. Debra Floyd; Mim
eograph Editor, Jean Smith;

Wheat Farmers
Cautioned on
Present Signup
Farmers who are going to
take part in the 1963 wheat
stabilization program should be
careful to sign up only as much
acreage as they intend to di
vert, A. E. Hays, Chairman,
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation County Commit
tee, said today.
The signed acreage for 1963
will be a binding agreement,
the Chairman explained, and
farmers will have to divert the
full acreage for which they
sign up in order to be eligible
for any payments — including
diversion payments, the regu
lar price support loans or pur
chase agreements, and the ex
tra wheat price-support pay
ments.
"This is a change from the
1962 program” Mr. Hays de
clared. "Under the 1962 wheat
stabilization program, a farm
er could sign up for 30 acres,
and then divert only 20. and
still earn payments on the
acreage he actually diverted.
“For 1963, however, such a
farmer would not be eligible for
any diversion or price-support
program assistance
“We hope that farmers will
consider their plans carefully
before they file their applica
tions to take part in the wheat
stabilization program, and that
they will then sign up only as
much wheat acreage as they
intend to divert.”

Must Be Returned
By Early 1963
ATLANTA-The annual in
come questionnaires which
must be filed by all war vet
erans and veteran's survivors
who are drawing pensions will
be mailed with the pension

about December 1. Georgia
Veterans Service Director Pete
Wheeler reported this week.
The forms must be properly
completed and returned to the
Veterans Administration by
January 31. he said. Failure to
comply with this regulation
will result in immediate sus
pension o f the pension.
Veterans drawing compensa
tion based on service-connect
ed disabilities and survivors of
veterans receiving compensa
tion based on service-connect
ed deaths are not required to
file income questionnaires.
Anyone who desires assis
tance in filling out an income
questionnaire should contact
the nearest office of the Geor
gia Department of Veterans

ing the information.
