The Ailanta Company is
making expansions at several
of ns commercial refrigeration
plants in Georgia. The largest
expansion ($1,031,000) is in
Ailanta. Do we in Covington
have a chance to get one of
these plants?
Vidalia is the site of a new
Piggly Wiggly Southern, Inc.
plant. It represents an invest
n ent of $1,000,000 and em
ploys 107.
Madison is watching a new
Water town Manufacturing
Company plant under con
, stiuction. It will produce
plastics. The investment is
$250,000.00.
Funston Nut Company, a di
vision of Pet Milk Company is
expanding its present plant at
Albany, expansion is valued at
$350,000.
Thomasville's Su nnyl an d
Packing Company is expand
ing. investment is $775,000.00,
with 75 new employees to be
added.
The Buick-Oldsmobile - Pon
tiac Assembly Plant (General
Motors) at Doraville employ
ed 1.110 additional persons in
April, when it completed ex
pansion program of $5,000,-
000.00.
We have in our County »
fine Chamber of Commerce,
and Junior Chamber of Com
merce. They have within their
hands the power to bring to us
these opportunities. They may
present them. They may tell us
' what to do. But if we sit com
placently by, satisfied with
our fine cultural center and let
all industry go elsewhere, we
are going to find ourselves the
• Bed Room" for other cities.
The Managers of our Cham
ber of Commerce are helpless
without the full cooperation of
I every citizen. It seemed advis
able to organize Chambers of
: Commerce here. We started
I off alright and have a few
nice industries, but are we going
Ito be satisfied with what we
' have? Lot’s “Better our Best"
| in efforts to stand behind the
I heads of our Chamber of Coin- '
I
merer. They can easily become
discouraged when we just lis- j
ten to the fine reports they <
make, and the opportunities
they place before us. if we do
not back them up 100 per cent (
and encourage them . . . going I
with them to plug for new in- 1
dustries. In addition, follow up I
on suggestions made for the |
improvement of our city. We i
could well follow the example
of other cities in a fine “clean
up’’ program and get papers,
cans and litter from the streets, i
and not only impose fines and
leave it there, but collect fines I
from th® offenders.
We are proud of that new
curbing machine and know our
streets will all be paved and
curbed soon, then planted to
make ours a “City Beautiful
. . . which name it always has
had, but for a few grown up
vacant lots . . . and the litter- .
bug question.
The Woman's Division of
Commerce was organized. So
all the “sitting complacently
by" is not being directed at
the men of our town, who are
really busy business men . . .
but at the ladies. We have at
tended both of the meetings
held. They were disappointed
at the small attendance at the
last meeting. Mr. Hall had a
wonderful program outlined,
but as stated, no leader can do
anything for our city without
our cooperation. Let's realize
our very own shortcomings .
and get really busy helping
both the organizations.
Deadlines for the paper have
hit us so hard that we have
to write this on Tuesday morn- j
ing, so bright and early it is
almost completed, when the
sad news came to us. of the
passing of Mr. P. W. Pratt. As
my shadow and 1 came from
Oxford. Sunday afternoon, af
ter a little ride, we saw a drug
store open and went in for a
cool drink. Mr. Pratt came in
and was in such a fine jovial
mood . . . telling us of the ।
wife’s trip to Florida with a
group of close friends. It
hardly seems possible, and i
comes as a shock to all, even .
' tho’ he had not been well for
| sometime.
Mr. Pratt has meant much to
Covington and it's growth. He
and his family have made their
place in the hearts of many
friends throughout the county.
He will be greatly missed, but
will live on in his fine chil
dren. Our heart bleeds with
the hearts of the loved ones.
You have to walk this path
way yourself to truly know
how to sympathize with one
who has lost a father, mother
or companion ... we have
walked all three pathways, and
truly know how to sympathize
| with them. We join hosts of
friends in heartfelt sympathy.
Somebody! Come get the
broom ... we do not feel like
doing our job now . . . of . . .

Pig Counting
Time Is Here
In Georgia
“This little pig went to mar-
, ket.”
And just how many of his
■ little brothers and sisters will
ibe following him in the next
six months will be available
soon for those who would real
ly like to know.
This includes swine produ
cers, meat packers, feed manu
facturers and dealers, and
“just plain pork lovers.”
At least, that's the opinion
of Archie Langley, state statis
tician with the Georgia Crop
Reporting Service, whose twice
a-year job it is to count the
pigs in the state.
Survey time for pigs, other
livestock and poultry is here
again, and again the Crop Re
porting Service will have help
from a group of men who meet
up with Georgia livestock pro
ducers most every day. Next
week (May 20-24) rural mail
carriers will distribute approxi
mately 10.000 livestock ques
tionnaire cards to farmers.
“The sooner the cards are
filled out and returned to the
postmen the sooner we will
summarized and sent to the
know what the spring pig crop
looks like,” said Mr. Langley,
i He explained that the Georgia
cards, along with those from
every other state, will be
I USDA Crop Reporting Board
' in Washington. USDA will use
the information as a basis for
its annual June pig crop re
port.
Th? report will show if the
nation's pig population is up
or down, compared with last I
year. It also will show farm
ers’ plans for farrowing this i
fall.
Farmers who return then
survey cards to the mail car
riers will receive the report.
I Others interested may obtain
, । a copy from the Georgia Crop
Reporting Service, 315 Hoke
Smith Annex, Athens.
“Since they will have a pret
■ ty good idea of just how many
. pigs will be going to market,”

He said the Crop Reporting
Service regards this survey as
one of the most important it
makes. “Pigs pack a lot of
I weight in the dollar value of
Georgia's agricultural econo
my.” Mr. Langley declared. “In
1962 alone cash receipts from
hog marketing’ in the state
amounted to $54,375,000. Total
weight of hogs sold was 329,-
000,000 pounds."
