1965 Pontiac: Car of the Year!
| That's what!
We had to reach a climax somewhere along the line. And what better
climax for a car than to win Motor Trend's Car of the Year Award for
1965? Nothing could please us more, except maybe the way people
are buying our cars. And they are. Drive one and find out why.

The Covington Garden Clubs
program for February called for
arrangements. . .subject. . .
‘•Winter Lingers.” Wewishthat
all in the County could have seen
the beautiful arrangements, and
artistry of these Garden Club
Members. Miss Sarah Mobley
has made the Club a wonderful
president, and we have another
good president coming in the
first of the year. She is a
former Home Demonstration
Agent, and knows all about grow
ing fine flowers. We expect,
not only a good president, but
to learn much along the line of
horticulture.
The Newton County Hospital
Auxiliary had it’s meeting Wed
nesday noon, in the form of a
Luncheon Meeting at the Por
terdale Hotel. This is one of
the finest working groups. . .
working for the comfort and hap
piness of those who are ill in
the hospital. Theirs is a labor
of love, and so rewarding! Each
member gets more real comfort,
and heartwarming satisfaction,
from her work than any group I
know. Just watch them “go to
town” during this new year, .and
with a bang! They could use a
few more workers, and there are
many ladles who would love this
work.. .just when they need you,
or call you. Some have time
on their hands,won’t you join this
group and share that spare time
in this “labor of love?” There
are so many of us who just
long to assist in some humani
tarian way. . .here’s your op
portunity. . .it has come er
knockin’ at your door, .if you

Our cemetery is so beautiful
now, since they have finished
filling in, with soil, the space
left around the curbing, in each
lot. We were just wondering if
the Daylily Program of the
Covington Garden Club could not
reach this sacred spot. The
soil is wet now and we cannot
plant anything, anywhere until it
becomes dry weather.. .but that
new soil just speaks to you, and
asks for bulbs or flowers. Bulb
planting is too late for this Spring
. . .but before grass Is planted,
I am sure, if that little space
could speak it would say: “I’m
crying out for flowers to further
beautify this sacred place.” Low
growing tea roses, bought thru,
either the City or the Covington
Garden Center, would not be too
expensive. Office Boy just day
dreaming! We spend most of
our time doing just that these
days anyway. . .

There used to be an old
bromide to the effect that
everyone talked about the
weather, but no one did any
thing about it. Today, how
ever, it’s a different story.
We recently read where a
famous weather expert took
a dim view of the experi
ments toward weather con
trol which are currently be
ing considered. The Soviet,
for example, is believed to be
working at mass melting
techniques to get rid of one of
Russia’s most plentiful com
modities--snow.
It seems that the troubles
which might arise from such
experiments are staggering
-continual typhoons released
by the build up of pressure,
and the appearance of equa
torial rainbelts in hitherto
desert areas.
Before any such disasters
come about.. .live lusciously
with a fine piece of jewelry
from RAY JEWELERS, 9
East Square. Select a won
derful Wyler Watch from
Switzerland, crystal or china
for your home. Watch and
