Mr. Webb stated that “We,
the personnel of Belk's, have
spent many days and long
hours of work to bring to you
this Great Event, and have
kept in mind that values count.
Each item was carefully select

we appreciate your visits and
business.”
Marion Britt, assistant man
ager of the Covington store
said that “Pride and gratitude
is ours, but the tribute is to
you, our friends in Covington
and Newton County. We want
you to feel at home when you
visit the Covington Belk-Gal
lant Stone.”

Atlanta Office, drugs in the
amount of $50.00 in one year
and their attending physician
has to approve these drugs.
Two thousand received funds
last year in Georgia. One in
Covington is receiving aid now.
There is a limit of $25.00 on
funds which may be had for
transportation to physician’s
office or hospitals, out of town.
It is urged that local friends
help with this transportation.
Hospital beds and wheel
chairs are furnished patients,
when needed, free, if their
friends or family will pick
them up and return them to
Atlanta Office.
Miss Clara Mae Hays report
ed 250 brochures on Cancer on
hand, and that films would be
shown all school children in the
county from the 7th thru the
12 th grade.
Mrs. J. R. Spears reported
having received two donations
to Cancer Fund in memory of
friends. Mrs. Spears’ address is
Mansfield, Georgia, and all
who would like to give a do
nation in memory of a friend
may send their contribution to
her. She will acknowledge
same to you, and send the fam
ly a beautiful card designating
the fact that you contributed
to this fund in memory of their
oved one. She suggested that
hese notices be placed in Mor
tuaries.
Two hundred ninety-six kits
will be delivered to residents
by Brownie Scouts.
At the closeof this meeting
Mr. William Jankins, National
in the South. He put into prac
tice policies which today are
widely accepted and praised,
but which at the time were
considered radical and rash.
When he became a small
town merchant in the North
Carolina hamlet, at the age of
26, he insisted on two qualities
as the fundamental basis of his
store operation. They were in
tegrity and honesty—and hard
work. On this foundation of
honesty and hard work he
built a successful way of do
ing business.
Belk’s Diamond Jubilee Cel
ebration, marking the 75th an
niversary of the chain, is sum
med up in a short sentence to
the public that says “You have
made us what we are today—
the leading family store in
over 400 towns and cities
throughout the South.”
THE COVINGTON NEWS
Director, showed a wonderful
film “Prognosis Hope”. After
this posters, literature, and
plastic “banks” were given for
all areas.
March 27th was the big day!
Benefit Barbecue! Enthusiasm
is truly contagious! Every
worker was in his or her place
on time! Mr. and Mrs. Arthur
Hays, Mr. Robert Stanton and
all Co-workers had planned
this down to a letter. Like
clock work everything moved
on time. Not a flaw. Every
body tired and happy! Mr. Wil
ber Jones had been there all
night long and all day prepar
ing the food. Never have you
tasted such barbecue and stew!
The slaw, about 70 pounds was
made by all the ladies in that
community! Clock work? Well,
we worked at the ticket table
and seated early, we watched
the movement of all hands of
this perfect clock. The tables
were getting finishing touches,
as the food came in like magic,
and we were ready to go but
not so fast if you please! Give
me your ticket? They would
forget. Yes, everybody in New
ton and surrounding counties
and some from Atlanta were
there! Fast and furiously they
came we could not have served
them fast enough had we not
wound our clock again and set
is up real fast.
Thanks to you for coming!
We know you had your money’s
worth at the barbecue. We fed
you there and worked hard to
do it. We are working for our
fellow man, and you are too, in
some other fine project, but
April is the month now for you
to make your contribution to
the Cancer Fund. Dig deep into
your pocket, for the money you
give may come back to a loved
one.
We are grateful to every
person who added to the suc
cess of the Barbecue, workers
and all who came to enjoy it.
Special tribute goes to the Boy
Scouts of Mansfield and vicin
ity who gave their service in
cleaning up the tables after
one. We are grateful to every

Evidence that the humped
backed, sack - dragging cotton
picker is fast disappearing from
the Georgia farm scene is the
fact that 400 new mechanical
harvesters were purchased last
year. Mr. Bunce said this re
presents an investment of about
$4 million.
Both the number and value
of livestock went up in 1962.
Cattle reached 1,496,000 head
—and increase erf 1 percent.
Milk cows declined 2 percent
to 221,000 head, while beef cat
tle increased. According to Mr.
Bunce, 71 percent of the cows
and heifers two years old or
over are beef type animals. In
1954 this was true for only 56
percent of the state’s cattle.
The value of cattle and calves
in Georgia increased 3 percent
to $155,584,000 on January 1,
1963.
Chicken numbers, not count
ing commercial broilers, in
creased to 17,428,000—causing
Georgia to be the 4th ranking
state in the nation. Value of i
chickens increased 14 percent
over 1961.
Broiler production reached
a new record — 353.6 million
head, with a value of $l6B mil
lion. Egg production was near

Ortho suggests a sure way of getting an early stand
of cotton... in any weather... without replanting.
W 7 iny cotton farmer knows:
Is M what happens after the seed’s
planted ’till it shoves up as a
seedling can make or break the
MKA crop. Seedlings can come up
^B spotty and that means replant
ing. They can come up uneven
and that means mechanical pick
-IK4. ing is tough. Or they can come up
B 3 late and that’s just plain bad news.
K But now you don’t have
jB? to put seed down without a fight
^B ing chance. You can plant with
Orthocide Soil Treater X. Soil
Treater is a hard-working fungi
cide. It fights off damp-off, sore
shin, seedling blight and rot. It
^B takes care of the seed when it
matters most —just before and
after it sprouts. That’s when a
seed’s most susceptible to fungus.
V) That’s the time you can lose it or
make it. With Orthocide Soil
Treater X in the planter box, you
