GROUND WAS BROKEN Tuesday by the contractor Frank E. Christian (above) where the new Newton
Ram Field House will be constructed adjoining Sharp Field in Covington. The new $19,650 facility
will be modern in every respect and will be ready for the first game of the 1965 football season, Sept.
3 against Morgan County in Covington. Cost of the building is being paid by the Board of Education,
Newton County High School and the Ram Booster Club.
Newton Rams
(Continued From 1)
$19,650.00, three fourths to be
paid by the Newton County Board
of Education and the other one
fourth to be paid equally by the
High School and the Ram Booster
Club.
The Ram Booster Club has
expressed the desire for the
usual support of the sports
minded fans. It is hoped the
money can be raised for the
field house without cutting into
any of the yearly expenditures
for they feel all money spent
in the past year was necessary
and will be working toward
another good and better year.
“This can be done with the fans
support of the various projects
of the club, especially your mem
bership,” Ram Booster Pres
ident Nalls stated.
Veteran’s Correct
Address Is Most
Important To VA
Veterans or the dependents of
veterans receiving compensation
or pension payments from the
Veterans Administration should
report immediately any change of
address to avoid delay in receipt
of their benefit checks.
Peter H. Kreigh, Acting Con
tact Officer, Veterans Adminis
tration Regional Office, Atlanta,
said that both the old and the new
address should be given in noti
fying the VA of the fact that they
had moved. In addition, it is
always well to file a change-of
’’ address card with the local post
office.
The VA receives thousands
of letters each month including
many which cannot be answered
because the writer fails to identi
fy himself with address or claim
number. The writer’s full name,
the address, and the“C” number
(or insurance number) should
always be included, officials said.
At a young age, barracudas
seem to be drawn together into
packs—living, cruising and hunt
ing together. At full maturity,
the Great Barracuda, like those
living in the giant Oceanarium at
Marineland of Florida, may reach
a length of six feet. At his ripe
age, the barracuda seems to
prefer a lone existence. He
leaves the pack to patrol the sea
in solitary majesty.

ATTEND CHURCH
THIS SUNDAY
gram over to Miss Carolyn
Campbell, Chairman of the Co
mmunity Service Committee.
The Code of Ethics was given
by Mrs. Jack Allen. Lou Anne
Tuck, representative to Girls
State, followed Mrs. Allen and
gave a most interesting account
of her trip.
The guest speaker, Mr. Bill
Noblett, Division Manager of All
State Insurance Company, was
introduced by Miss Carolyn
Campbell. Mr. Noblett has been
with All State four years, he is
originally from Missouri. His
education was received at the Un
iversity of Tennessee, University
of Colorado and Union University,
Jackson, Tennessee. He is marr
ied and has two children. His
topic for the evening was “Defen
sive Driving”.
Mr. Noblett pointed out that
over 90^ of all collisions are
caused by human error and that
a smart motorist always expects
the worst of every pedestrian
and driver on the street. That
is why a really smart person
should use Defensive Driving
Tactics to avoid accidents. His
talk was most interesting and in
formative on a subject which in
volves each of us, whether driver
or pedestrian.
A point of much interest were
the decorations for the tables.
The speaker’s table featured
grape arrangements and smaller
tables featured safety signs and
pictures. Upon entering the lobby,
a very real looking “accident”
had been simulated which caused
much comment and interest.
Upon conclusion of the pro
gram, the meeting was adjourned
by Mrs. Dial. The club was
pleased to have Mrs. Wilbur
Fisher as a guest for the evening.

THE COVINGTON NEWS
off at 7:30 p.m. that night.
A big parade is scheduled for
Saturday, August 28th with lots of
beautiful horses, ponies, Cow
girls and Cowboys, rodeo clowns
and riders, the likes of which
Greene County has never seen.
The Championship Rodeo
starts off with a bang promptly
at 7:30 p.m., Saturday night.
Saddle broncs, bareback riding,
calf roping, bulldogging, and Bra-
(Our Advertisers Are Assured of Best Results)
hma bull riding will thrill the
spectators as they watch champ
ionship riders attempt to ride,
rope, or bulldog wild horses,
cattle, and Brahma bulls.
The second section of Greene
County’s Championship Rodeo
will be held on Sunday afternoon,
August 29th, at 2:30 p.m., at which
time man will again attempt to
subdue the beast. Chances are
that he won’t make it, but It will
make a lively show! Interspersed
throughout both Championship
Rodeos will be entertaining clown
acts and Ladies’ barrel racing.
The second show will consist of
different riders, stock, and acts.
A Rodeo is unpredictable; the
thrills are not planned, they just
happen. Don’t Miss It!!
John Cannon, President of the
Greene County Livestock Associ
ation, made the initial decision
at the last Livestock Association
meeting to go full speed ahead on
bringing Rodeo to Greene County
when he coined the expression
“Turn the Bull loose.” The vote
of the Greene County Livestock
Association following this ex
pression was unanimous.
This week, the Greensboro
Chamber of Commerce voted to
co-sponser the affair.
