Third Grade
Mrs. Taylor's Class
We are all glad to see some
warmer weather so that we can
get outside and not be sick so
much.
In our English class, we are
making spring calendars and
recording some of the first
signs of spring that we see.
We have been studying about
the four basic food groups and
why it is important that we
eat some from each one every
day. Many of us made charts
about these foods.
We think multiplying is
more fun than adding and
subtracting and we are learn
ing how to carry in multipli
cation.
Each of us are working on a
project for open house at our
school which will be sometime
soon.
Our class has two new pupils
this month. They are Marshall
Otha from Irwinville, Georgia
and Ronnie Reed from Porter
dale. Marshall came to our
school some last year.

Home Ec. Week
To Be Observed
Home economists in Newton
County and throughout Georgia
are telling everyone who will lis
ten this week that their's is a
“very important profession.’’
April 1-7 is Home Economics
Week in the state, and 653 mem
bers of the Georgia Home Econo
mics Association will observe the
special occasion by explaining
what home economics is all about.
They will do this by highlighting
a different area of home econo
mics each day of the week. News
papers and radio and TV stations
will help tell the story, and many
exhibits will be constructed to
show the home economics pro
fession in action. Four-H and
FHA girls, who come under the
influence of the professional home
economist, will present chapel
programs at school and make
talks before civic clubs.
The home economists also are
getting help from Governor Carl
E. Sanders in the observance of
“their week.’’ The governor has
signed a proclamation officially
designating April 1-7 as “Home
Economics Week in Georgia."
Governor Sanders pointed out
that “the influence of the organi
zation and its members is stead
ily growing for the good of our
State.”
One of the highlights of the
special week will be the 44th an
nual meeting of the Georgia Home
Economics Association. This will
be held at the Atlanta Americana
Hotel on April 4-6.
According to Mrs. Sara Groves,
home demonstration agent, there
are three professional home eco
nomists in Newton County, and
most of them will be attending the
j GHEA meeting in Atlanta.
Flint Hill Has
New Slate of
Club Officers
Members of Flint Hill Comm
unity Club met at the Club
house on Friday evening,
March 22nd for a business
meeting and a gay social hour
that spot lighted “lemonade
drinking’’. The social activity
came as a suggestion from Mr.
Abner Harper.
“Old timers” from the Flint
Hill Community who were
present included Mr. and Mrs.
R. H. Byrd, Mrs. Nannie Bo
gus* and Mr. and Mrs. Abner

was little Jody Schneider, 1%
years old, and other future

sy Shepherd.
The highlight of the meeting
was a talk by Don Ballard,‘Re
presentative from Newton Co
unty, on “Community Spirit-
Life Blood of Any Area". Mr.
Ballard’s talk was enjoyed by
the entire group, old timers,
newcomers and future citizens
of the Community. The young
people were particularly im
pressed with his stories of his '
childhood days at the top of the |
red, un-paved hill that leads
from Flint Hill to Covington.
After the talk, Don answered
many questions concerning the I
history of the Community and .
his recent tour of duty as Re- !
presentative to the State Legis- i
lature.

sident, presided at the meeting .
and was assisted by Mr. Edwin

Spring Clean-Up Is Good Time
To Get Rid of Fire Hazards
Homeowners should use the
Spring Clean-Up campaign in
their community to rid their
homes of fire hazards, Lewis
A. Vincent, general manager
of the National Board of Fire
Underwriters, said today.
The clean-up drives now
getting underway across the
country are the perfect time to
throw out the trash that has
accumulated in basements or
attics and to make the repairs
that cut the danger of fire, Mr.
Vincent said.
He noted that there are
about 800 home fires a day in
the United States, and three
quarters of them are the re
sult of carelessness or forget
fulness.
11,800 Lost Lives
Last year, Mr. Vincent re
minded, more than 11,800 per
sons lost their lives in fires and
thousands were seriously in
jured. Property losses soared
to a record $1,265,002,000, the
sixth year in a row that losses
topped the $1 billion mark.
The total bill for the six-year
period was almost $7 billion.
“It is almost impossible to
comprehend such a figure,” he
said. “One example of its size
is this: If you counted at the
rate of a dollar a second, it
would take 222 years of non
stop counting to reach 7 bil
lion.
Would Build Whole City
“That money would build a
whole city of homes. At $15,-
000 each, it would build 466,-
600 homes, and, with the ‘aver
age family’ now consisting of
four persons, those homes
would shelter 1,860,000 per
sons—more than the popula
tion of Detroit.”
There is no telling how
much higher these figures i
Flint Hill Community Club will
be April 26, at 8:00 p. m. at the
Flint Hill Community Club
House. At that time, projects '
for the Community will be dis
cussed and committees will be
appointed. Mr. Schneider fur
ther stated that he “is very an- ;
xious that the entire commun- j
ity of Newton County past Ox
ford feel invited to participate
in the Club activities.”
Between 80 and 85 percent of
all shoplifters are “amateurs.”
They do not resell the items
they steal, according to the Ap
ril Reader’s Digest. Women con- j
stitute two-thirds of the shop- I
lifters.

would have been were it not
for the Spring Clean-Up Week,
Fire Prevention Week and the
annual Christmas Fire Safety
Campaigns, Mr. Vincent said.
There is no doubt, he con
tinued, that the campaigns are
proving effective fire deter
rents.
Dollar losses are mounting,
he said, but this is at least in
part a reflection of the expan
sion of the economy and the
rising costs of materials, goods
and services.
Prevention Paying Off
However, studies show that
over the years, due in part to
fire prevention efforts, the
ratio of fire losses to the value
of property subject to fire dam
age is gradually declining.
“We must congratulate those
who direct Clean-Up Week ac
tivities,” Mr. Vincent said.

“Their suggestions and slogans
have been translated into safer
communities."
There is nothing complicat
ed about any of these sugges
tions, Mr. Vincent observed.
They are simply common sense
precautions.
Matches-Snioking Chief Cause
“Nearly one-fourth of all
fires are caused by matches or
smoking,” he said. “Many of
these could be prevented by
following three simple rules —
keep plenty of ashtrays handy,
