Canada, might have been “more

us who have not “been every

the National Editorial Asso
ciation Convention was a mar
velous experience, which we
have been asked to share with
our readers.
Editor and Mrs. Albert Jen
kins of Baxley, with whom we
had enjoyed former press trips,
had graciously invited us to
accompany them on the trip,
via Canada; but, our going de
pended upon whether or not

The news article stated that
the project would take about
a year and that the employees
who now live in the homes
would be notified of the plans
and progress of the sale.
The Recorder stated that ‘“‘for
sometime the Bibb has been
considering offering for sale to
its employees most of the
houses located in the villages.
Over the last 25 years many
companies throughout the
South have sold company own
ed homes to employees. In eacn
instance where the homes were
made available to employees,
the employees have been most
anxious to become home own
ers and have taken advantage
of the opportunity offered. The
Bibb has decided to go forward
with a plan to enable employ
ees to purchase most of the
homes in Macon, Bibb City,
Columbus, Porterdale and Tay

“At this time, it cannot be
determined just when the sale
will take place, as much in
formation must be obtained. A
survey will have to be mads
