children in the county.
This study group will make i
its proposal to the Covington
City Council and County Com
missioner Tom Bates in the
near future so that action may
be taken.
Mayor Turner said that “a'
recreation program is definite
ly needed in the county, but
in order to set up a program
that will adequately meet the
needs of our people, a great
deal of money is needed."
It has been estimated that
approximately $50,000 will be
needed to set up such a pro
gram and provide adequate
facilities, and an operating
budget of $25,000 will be
needed to maintain such a
program. Such a program
would provide supervised re
creation for both white and
colored people.

the Atlanta Journal - Consti
tution, will assist Mr. Segars.
During the tup these Geor
gia leaders will visit with gov
ernment officials, agricultural
leaders and business execu
tives. Mr. Segars has been
in touch with Intourist and the
Russian Embassy and they are
making every effort to arrange
an audience with Premier
Khrushchev.
While in Russia, the Geor
gia group will make a far
ther penetration into the
U. S. S. R. than any American
delegation. They will go more
than 1700 miles from .Mos
cow, down near the China,
Pakistan, Mongolian Bolder.
This is due to the fact that
this delegation is the largest
to visit the Soviet Union this
year and the second largest
in the history of the Goodwill
People to People Program.
While much of the trip will
be devoted to touring agricul
tural facilities and visiting
with farm groups, the Geor
gians will have an opportun
ity to see the Kremlin, Red
Square, Lenin's Mausoleum,
and the University of Moscow.
Mr. Segars explained.
Every phase of Georgia ag
riculture is represented in the
delegation which hails from 34
of the states countries. The
| group will fly back to Atlanta
: on June 6.
Wheal Quota
Vole Tuesday
In the County
Polling places where Newton
County farmers may cast bal
lots in the referendum on mar
keting quotas for the 1964
wheat program were announ
ced today by A. E. Hays, Chair
man. Agricultural Stabilization ■
and Conservation County Com
mittee. The referendum will be
held on Tuesday. May 21, 1963.
The polling places are loca
leH as follows:
Community A, Wiley All
good's Store, Oxford.
Community *B, Ellington’s
Store, Salem.
Community C, Hardeman's
Store, Livingston.
Community D. Newton ASCS
County Office, Courthouse.
Community E. Ruth Davis’
Store, Rocky Plains Road H C.
Jones’ Store, Jackson Highway.
Community F, Hays Whse,
Mansfield Benton’s Store,
Starrsville.
Community G, Hub Junction.
Polls will be open from 8 A
M to 6 P. M.
Mr. Hays stated today that ,
98 per-cent of Newton County
wheat producers have indicated
their intention to vote in the
1964 wheat refei'endum. Small
farm operators who have elec- I
ted to participate in the prog- ,
ram as an allotment grower
has the same alternatives open
to him as the larger wheat
grower in deciding whether he
wants to vote yes or no in the
upcoming referendum.
A “No” vote by more than one
third of the growers voting
would mean the same in the
1964 wheat referendum as it
would have meant in the past,
that is, no quotas, no market
ing quota penalties, and price
support at 50 percent of parity
to growers who do not exceed
their acreage allotments. As a
matter of fact, however, grow
ers have never turned down
wheat marketing quotas.
A “Yes" vote for 1964 —by
at least two-thirds of the grow
ers voting would mean a broa
der program than has ever been
available in the past, including
not only a diversion program
। and price supports to partici
-1 paling producers. but also mar
keting certificates at a relative
ly high level on most of the
normal production of a farm’s
acreage allotment. In addition,
a small grower with an allot
ment of 13.5 acres or less will
have the option of diverting all
his allotment to conserving
uses at 50 percent of the county
support rate on the normal
yield of the farm’s base acreage.
Marketing penalties will apply
to any wheat produced in ex
cess of acreage allotments.
We hope that all wheat
growers, both large and small,
will make it their business to
become well informed about
the actual issues, so that the
I May 21 wheat vote may be
i intelligent and truly repiesent
ative of wlieal grower opinion.
If for any reason you are
going to be out of the county on
May 21, 1963. you may request
an absentee ballot by calling
i 786-2402 or writing this office.

is adapted and recommended

streets with dogwood all over
town. I do believe the home
owners would fall right in line
with this project. We under
stand the city has bought a
“curbing” machine, and we will
get our streets curbed in the
near future. So, this would be
a wonderful project. There are
parks where roses, tulips and
iris could make a show place
of Covington too.
There is the “litterbug”
business also. We are not the
only city worrying about this
business of scattering cans,
papers and cartons on the
streets. Macon was worried
about this! Let's go “Up in the
Air” about it as they did. The
Georgia Municipal Association
in their Journal said “TRASH
CN MACON’S streets will soon
be up in the air—to stay. The
City is installing a new type of
trash receptacle which is sus
pended on poles along side
walks.
Aiderman Dan Tidwell said
he first saw this type of recep
tacle in Philadelphia, Pa. when
he attended the American
Municipal Congress last year. ‘I
was impressed with how clean
the city’s streets were” he said.
Macon has ordered 100 of
j the containers at a cost of
$20.00 each. In addition, the
City has a new ordinance im
posing a $lO. fine for throwing
trash on sidewalks or streets.
So. maybe we could get “Up
in the Air” enough to stop the
litterbug from making our city
unsightly.
Lavonia recently received a
loan and grant from the Area
Redevelopment Administration
I to make possible a major ex
pansion of their water treat
ment and distribution system.
The loan of $344,500 and grant
of $378,500 will provide em
ployment for an estimated 50
to 350 employees, both because
of possible expansion of piesent
busineses and because of the
increased attractiveness for new
industry which the city will
acquire.
Calhoun residents will re
ceive a special power rate if
they agree to use only electric
energy. The City Council re
cently approved the plan to
charge a flat one-eery per kilo
watt rate for homes using elec
tricity for all purposes. For
example, a home using only 500
kilowatts would be charged
$8.86 under the piesent rates,
but only $5.15 under the new
flat rale.
Carrollton has awarded con
tracts totaling $509,508 for ex
tension of water mams, const
ruction of additional filter pl
ant facilities, and construction
of a new water tank. The most
expensive item is the filter
ulant addition, costing $333,521.
A total of 19 Georgia cities
and towns have utilized the
contract annexation law which
was sponsored by the Georgia
Municipal Associaticn and pass
ed by the 1962 General Assem
bly.
Monroe is a step closer to
qualifying for lower fire insur
ance rates as it recently moved
into modern new quarters.
