Fedder Honored As "Economy Dealer Os Year”
MR. AND MRS. PAUL FEDDER, left,owners of the associate Economy Auto Store in Covington, were na
med "Dealer of the Year” during the annual Economy Auto banquet held at the Atlanta Biltmore Hotel
Sunday night, kicking off the Company’s 50th Anniversary celebration. The award is the most coveted
honor bestowed upon Economy Auto associate dealers, and was presented to Fedder by Ed Wilkonson,

for seven years, received an engraced plaque commemorating the occasion and Mrs. Fedder received
a silver tea and coffee service. The award was one of the highlights of a two-day meeting at which
approximately 300 people, including dealers, employees and wives previewed new merchandise for the
spring and summer of 1968. A division of the McCrory Corporation, OTASCO-Economy Auto is head
quartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and has over 400 stores serving a 12-state southern and mid-western

More College Caliber
Students Are Needed
ATHENS, Ga—FAIT has found
about 5,000 students of college
caliber. Now it’s looking for
more.
Find And Identify Talent is
the proper name of FAIT. It’s
a project operated by the In
stitute of Higher Education at
the University of Georgia to do
just that.
The talent is that of high sch
ool youngsters who lack the mon
ey and the knowledge of available
financial aid to go to post-sec
ondary schools.
The project, which just start
ed its second year of operation
with a $60,547 grant under the
Higher Education Act, is en
gaged now in finding about 6,000
more young Georgians and ap
prising them of opportunities for
further education available at
institutions in Georgia and ad
jacent states.
"The need to discover, to en
courage, and to train this poten
tial talent must be given first
consideration,” said the Instit
ute’s John J. Sullivan, a super
visor of the project.
"Yet, in Georgia, much of this
talent is lost because less than
40 per cent of the high school
graduates continue post-second
ary education.
"The lack of funds, coupled
with the lack of knowledge of
available financial aid and the
procedures for obtaining it con
tinue to be the main reasons why
more students do not pursue
further training.”
Sullivan emphasized that FAIT
is not a recruiting device. "It’s
something we’re doing for the
kids of Georgia.” He said the
program has set up 10 counsel
ing centers across the state to
help find the youth.
"We have also compiled cata
logs of financial aid available
from various institutions and
from various governmental and
private sources for use by stu
dent.”
A listing of student names has
also been sent to institutions of
higher education in the area, and
about 600 of the selected students
have been taken to the campuses
of institutions near their homes
for tours and familiarization.
"We feel we can help stop this
talent loss by showing these stu
dents where the opportunities are
and encouraging them to take ad
vantage of the opportunities,”
Sullivan said.
"The continuation of this pro
gram will give us time to eval
uate what we’ve done so far,
and to further spread the word
that ’no one today who has the
ability can use money as an ex
cuse for not attending college.’
"There is just too much fin
ancial assistance available for
needy but talented students for
this to happen. All they need
is some encouragement and a
knowledge of how to get financial
help.”
Centers for coordinating the
talent search are located at
Rome, Atlanta, Athens, Augusta,
Albany, Macon, Brunswick, Sav
annah, Columbus, and Valdosta.
Nearly 200 high schools and hun
dreds of guidance counselors in
the state are cooperating in the
project.
S-T-R-E-T-CH that food dol
lar! If stretching your food dol
lar seems impossible, compare
your grocery spending to that of
the 1966 national average com
piled by the USDA. The mini
mum amount of money required
per week to feed a family of
four is $34.70. Your food budget
should not include such items as
detergents or paper products,
even if you do buy them at the
same supermarket.
When shopping, keep in mind
the number of servings involved.
Ground or boneless meats will
yield 4 servings per pound, meat
with medium amount of bone 2
to 3 servings, meat with a large
amount of bone only 1 to 2 serv
ings.
W ith God all things are pos
sible.—(Matt. 19:26)
There are within the body
marvelous capacities for heal
ing and renewal. Even when
a healing need is very great
and the condition is con
sidered most serious, healing
can come forth, restoration
can take place. This is proved
time and time again. Every
day letters come to silent
unity telling of healings of
conditions that had been pro
nounced hopeless or incur
able. We believe in healing.
Through the years of the si
lent unity work we have re
joiced in reports of healing
or conditions of evgry kind. ‘

Council Discusses
Electrical System
"The electrical system of the
City of Covington is in good
shape to meet present needs and
growth in the future with the
plans of operation and expansion
that are now being followed,”
H. R. Parris, representative of
Equity Utility Service Company
and the city* s electrical engineer,
told the Mayor and City Council
Monday night.
Most of the two hour meeting
was taken up discussing the elec
trical system of the city and the
projects that will be carried
out with money recently provided
by the passage of the gas and
electric revenue certificate is
sue.
Mr. Parris also explained
technicalities concerning the
B-10 total electric commercial
rate that is now in service in
the city.
In other action the council
approved a petition by 16 per
sons to run a natural gas line
1.3 miles off Highway 81 on Jer
sey Road; approved a taxi li
cense application for Lonnie Mae
Goolsby; and voted to purchase
a new Case 580 Construction
King ditching machine at a cost
of approximately $7,000 for use

departments.
Window Does It
For plenty of light and air in
the kitchen, a casement window
is the answer. Windows of pon
derosa pine are easily opened
and closed by turning a conven
ient handle. Local lumber deal
ers carry stock sizes.
