PHIL PRUITT (right), Head Pressman and Malling Room Foreman
of The Covington News, Is shown talking with Alva Haygood, Pub

MAYOR CASON
(From P^ge 1)
A. Porter Memorial Methodist
Church.
Whan Jimmy was graduated
from Porterdale High School,
he entered the united states Ar
med Forces, serving al Fort
McClellan, Alabama and with the
Army of Occupation in Japan.
After World War 11, he attended
Commercial Trades Institute in
Birmingham, Alabama and work
ed briefly for Cowan and Cowan
Co. in Covington, although a re
sident of Porterdale even then.
Somehow, Jimmy was “drawn”
back to the Bibb and has worked
for the past sixteen years.
As an old timer expressed his
sentiments recently, “There’s
something about Porterdale that
gets in your bones; I don’t know
what it is, but it’s there”. I
realized that such a feeling must
have possessed Mr. Cason. You
see, he purchased the first house
which was sold in Porterdale by
the Bibb Manufacturing Company
through the Alester Furman Co.
to their employees in April of
1964.
There is one other member
of the new mayor’s immediate
01 me new mayor s innueujaic
family whom I have not mention
ed. That is Ricky, the sixth
grader, who would rather play
than eat. He promises to be a
real athlete.
I have a mighty strong feeling
that young Mr. Cason is aware
of what he has “to live up to”,
and he just might prove the old
adage that ‘life does begin at
forty’ . . . about August of this
year.

months (between the primary and

didate for lieutenant governor
