Majestic Fall
The Fall Season is just
around the corner! Spring
time and Fall are the most
beautiful of all Seasons.
Some of you love Spring
best and some love Fall best.
There is something about
Fall that livens every fiber
of your being, even as does
Spring. The days are getting
shorter, we remember our
school days as the new
school year begins. Then
there is football too. Never
too cold to go to a game,
either High School or Col

wonderful to snuggle down
in coats, cushions and per

Soft Drinks, peanuts are all
part of it! Yelling for the
team! Cheering our boys,
and loving our cheerleaders!
Rooting for our Band . .
seeing either our Sweetheart
in the Band or is it our Son?
We are all the same age
when there is a game and
we are in the bleachers!
There are the sweetgums

Those dormant “Dead” look-

Check Heating Unit
Before Cold Weather
Now is a good time — be
fore cold weather comes —
to have your heating plant
checked by a qualified ser
viceman.
The National Board of
Fire Underwriters says that
defective heating units are
responsible for one out of
every ten building fires in
the United States where the
causes are known. Another
3.5 per cent are caused by
defective or overheated
chimneys and flues.
An inspection of your unit
will not only protect your
home from a possible fire
but will also help to prevent
failure of the unit on a cold
night.

American Legion Sponsored Event
At Legion Field Until October 3
Fair time is again at hand in Covington and Newton

start on Monday, September 28 and continue through

Jim Morgan Is
Rotary Club
Speaker Tues.
Mr. J W. Morgan, a mem
ber of Strickland and Morg
an, Attorneys at Law, will
speak to the Covington Ro
tary Club on “Investigative
Law” on September 29th at
the Teen Can.
Jim is a native of Colum
bus and was educated at
Georgia Military College,
Mercer University, and the
Walter F. George School of
Law. During his college
career he was a member of
Phi Alpha Delta Legal Frat
ernity, Kappa Sigma Social
Fraternity, was president of
the Inter-Fraternity Council,
and was graduated as a Dis
tinguished Military Student.
He was admitted to the
Georgia Bar in 1952.
He served in the U. S.
Navy in World War II and is
commissioned as Lieutenant
in the U. S. Army Reserve.
Entering the service of the
Federal Bureau of Investiga
tion in 1952, Attorney Morg
an served in the states of
New Jersey, New York, and
in Washington, D. C. While
in the FBI, he worked in
criminal investigation. Upon
his resignation in 1959, he
became affiliated with the
National Board of Fire Un
derwriters, handling Arson
Investigations. He is now a
practicing attorney in Cov
ington, but still does some
investigative work for the
National Board of Fire Un
derwriters.
It is this wide experience
in investigative law, that
provides Mr. Morgan with
an excellent background that
prepares him to speak on the
subject of Investigative Law.
With all the investigations in
progress both privately and
in government in today’s
society, this subject should
be a most stimulating one.
A member of the Masons,
Elks, the Covington Rotary
Club, the Society of X-FBI
Agents, the Georgia Bar As
sociation, and Cubmaster of
Cub Scout Pack 58, Jim
•Morgan is obviously a civic
