Mrs. Annie Lee Day Retires
After 36 Years With Bibb
PORTERDALE —“Where is
•Miss Annie’?” has been asked
over and over again at the Bibb
Clinic this week in Porterdale,
for that jovial, smiling Mrs.
Annie Day has trasferred from
active duty in the Bibb Clinic
to enjoy the "bonus” years ex
actly as she chooses. And surely,
no one more deserves to have
many such days and months.
What varied activities have
filled her life since it began on
October 15, 1896 in Atlanta,
Georgia when her arrival brought
joy to her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Robert Edward Lee. Early in
life, Annie Frances with her
parents moved to Newton County,
and she has become a monument
of geniality and service.
The Flint Hill School and com
munity strongly influenced her
formative years and provided ex
periences which she has trea
sured always. After high sc
hool, she matriculated at the
Georgia Normal Industrial Col
lege in Milledgeville, Georgia

where she was a class officer
. .
Cabinet. Upon her graduation In
1916, she became a teacher in
Newton County for several years.
When a vacancy occurred, she
served as(oie Home Demonstra
tion Agent, thus making new fri
ends and learning to love them
all.
.subsequent jobs In LaGrange,
Georgia as a kindergarten teach
er and social worker for the
Lockwrxxl-Greene Co. Mills (now
Callaway Mills) were valuable
teaching experiences.
Perhaps it was the touching
contacts that she made as a
social worker which Inspired her
to enter Grady Hospital in the
fall of 1925 to tiecome a nurse.
That she was graduated in 1928
with highest honor in her class
is indicative of her thirst for
knowledge and dedication to this
profession.
In January 1929, Annie Lee
chose Porterdale for her new
home when she was employed
by the Bibb Manufacturing Com
pany.
The next year on March 30,
1939 at three-thirty in the after
noon, she and Frank Day were
united in marriage by the Rev.
John Tate in Thomaston, Geor
gia. They moved into what was
called the "Honeymoon Cottage”
on South Broad. Stanley came
to bless their union while they
lived there for the next ten years.
Mrs. Day worked In the Por
terdale, Welaunee, and Osprey
Mills, and on July 28, 1930 as
sumed the role of Bibb Clinic
Nurse. To clearly define the
extent of her influence with the
school children and Bibb em
ployees would be utterly im -
possible. There were stubbed
toes to paint, splinters to re
move, shots to "shoot”, inter
views to make, wounds to treat,
and vaccinations to administer.
Each was a special case treated
with tender loving care em
phasized by a dash of humor
and her bright, warm friendli-

All work and no play would
have made even "Miss Annie”
■ lull girl so she spent many
happy hours entertaining friends
with her clever games at par
ties. why she knows every
l>ody in Newton County! And
she tries to rememl<er hundreds
of them on birthdays, at Christ
mas, on the arrival of new babies,
and at times of sorrow.
Her good citizenship has been
signally honored on two oc
casions, namely, a plague for
Woman of the Year in 194£by
the Porterdale Woman’s Club
of which she has served as a
president, and the Henson Furni
ture Company Citation for
Citizenship on June 15, 19'2.
Upon the completion of 35 years
of service, the Bibb Manufac
turing Company presented an at
tractive Service Citation.
For the past twenty-five years,
Mrs. Day has served as a mem
ber of the Board of Stewards of
the Julia A. Porter Memorial
Methodist Church In Porterdale
and is an active member of the
Sunday School and W. S. C. S.
She is currently serving on the
Health Committee of the Porter
dale Parent-Teacher Association
of which she also served as presi
dent in 1945-46. She is an active
member of the Newton County
Nurses Association.
An experienced retirant has
declared that four things can
make these “bonus” years pro
fitable and rich. They are; Books
to read; Roses to smell; Friends
to love; God to worship. All of
them are so close to "Miss
Annie’s” heart that there will
never be a dull moment.

In case you hadn’t no
ticed, 1961 reads the same
upside down. This hap
pened last in 1881. Don’t
wait for it to happen again,
however, as it will be 6009
before this oddity occurs
again .... In 1960 the
country’s per capita tax
bite (federal, state and lo
cal) averaged out to $715
A decade ago the figure
stood at $369 .... It’s a
little difficult to believe,
but according to statistics
half the inhabitants of the
U.S. don’t own a toothbrush.
Viewed from any angle..
upside down or from the
back ... a lovely watch,
diamond, set of glassware
or china will look the
same . . . simply awesome
and wonderous. Be proud of
your gift . . . for a whole
lifetime . . . buy it from

ROOTING CUTTINGS?
If you are rooting cuttings from
shrubbery, don’t use cuttings
which are too long. This is a
common error of many garden
ers, according to Gerald E.
Smith, Extension Service horti
culturist. Generally, a four- to
six-inch cutting is desirable.
Longer stems are more difficult
to root.
