ors and nurses. This exciting ev

Benefits such as this have been
responsible for great advances in
the fight against the heart and blo
od vessel diseases since the Hea
rt Association’s organization in
1948. It is these advances that
produced our optimism about
the effectiveness of the fight aga
inst heart disease. However,
its effectiveness and advanceme
nt in future years depends upon
its continuation in a more vigor
ous manner than ever before.
Most heart attack victims re

four go back to work. High blo
od pressure, which can cause he
art, brain and kidney damage, now
can be controlled in most instan
ces.
Stroke victims need no longer
feel helpless because of the reha
bilitation programs responsible
for returning thousands to active
lives. Most cases of rheumatic
fever can be prevented. In the
past decade, remarkable progess
has been made in correcting con
genital heart defects through sur
gery.
Even with this kind of progress
the heart and blood vessel diseas
es continue to be the nation’s
Number 1 killer, claiming the liv
es of about a million in the U.S.
alone each year.
“In facing this problem we mu
st extend our efforts in the fight
against these diseases. Residen
ts of the community may support
this essential fight by giving mo
re generously than ever before
to the Heart Fund,” Mr. Patter
son stated.
Quiet City Court
Session Monday
A fairly quiet weekly court se
ssion at Covington City Hall was
held by Judge E. W. Strozier
Monday with more than half the
cases called for trial resultingin
bond forfeitures.
The usually large percentage of
traffic violation cases were cal
led with five persons charged
with driving under the influence
(DUI), four for reckless driving,
three for driving without a lic
ense, two for speeding and one
for running a red light. One
man drew a fine for operating
his car with loud mufflers.
Three cases were transferred
to Judge Jim Morgan’s Juvenile
Court. They involved charges
of shop lifting, driving without a
license, and allowing another to
drive without a license.
Heart and blood vessel di
seases are responsible for
more than 54 per cent of all
deaths in this country.
USE CAUTION
IN GETTING OUT OF CAR
goo
When your car is parked par
allel to the curb or in a well
travelled area, take precautions
before you get out on the driv
er's side. Check your mirror
and look back over your
shoulder for oncoming cars be
fore you open the door and
alight. If traffic conditions are
hazardous, slide along the front
oeat and use the righthand
door since that is much safer.

material, it must be soft. . .torn
sheets will do, just so parts are
large enough to make these ban
dages.
We know what you want to know
“How many patients (bedridden,
etc.) with Cancer in Newton Coun
ty? We have called the Hospital,
the Health Department of the
County, Cancer Society Presi
dent. . .but nobody knows. We
know there are many and they
are in desperate need of your
worn sheets and pillow cases
. . .not for beds but for band
ages. Send your sheets and
pillow cases to Mrs. Grady Be
rry. Call her at 786-2789. She
is Chairman and has a wonder
ful committee to work with her.
My, Oh Me! We find the City
Square of Covington belongs to
the County! Don’t worry Mayor
Harris and Members of the City
Council. You have paved walks,
kept the park for nearly 100
years. . .at your expense. . .
placed parking meters there. . .
planted the park. . .or did the
Citizens do that? We won’t go
into that but we know that 35
years ago we planted azaleas
around the Confederate Monu
ment (Did the United Daugh
ters of the Confederacy buy the
monument) for the Garden Club
(Covington) City furnished the
labor. . .and 4 corners were
beautiful for years. . .Now the
finest of azaleas have been pl
anted through the Garden Club
by Mr. Pennington. His azaleas
are known throughout the U. S.
He is taking care of these plants
for a certain time.
The Daughters of the Ameri
can Revolution bought a fine Mar
ble Fountain and placed in the
city square in loving memory of
their husbands and sons who
fought in World War One. . .
This was a Fountain. Vandals
broke it one night. • .the first
City Manager told us it was
safe. • .they had it stored and
assured us it would be replac
ed soon after repairs. He is
gone now, he was our first City
Manager. . .not the second one.
Where is the monument the lad
ies saved so diligently to buy
in honor or memory of their
loved ones? Will the County
replace this if it owns the sq
uare? Come to think of it ag
ain. . .if the city has maintained
this park for 100 years from 1861
to 1968. . .paved walks kept up,
etc., seems like they "jest about
own it” if we know anything
about it. . .that’s just an Office
boys thinkin’.. .The County “ain’t
complained” nor has it come to
claim it’s rights! As many from
THE CCA ENGTON NEWS
the County have said. . .“Don’t
cut the trees! We rest there
when we shop in Covington”. . .
and fellers we appreciate their
business given to Covington Mer
chants. . .and all the Merchants
will chime in on this! We call
COVINGTON. . .“OUR TOWN”
. . .Don’t you? We all own it
together if we own property here.
It's up to Covington people to
make the town what they want
it, and they are doing a pretty
good job.
Back to those beautiful trees
in the square. . .Mr. Fortson,
our good friend at the State
Capitol finally got some Ro
man Candles, we are told, and
for two nights shot Roman Can
dles into the trees and the birds
did not come back. . .He did not
even suggest cutting down the
trees! Why not give it a try
. . .1 wouldn’t let anything as
small as a bird cause me to
cut down a tree. Those birds
roost in our trees on Davis
Street. . .If you clap your hands
three times. . .those birds leave
immediately. Try it on the sq
uare?
We had u wonderful letter from
a Dublin, Georgia subscriber to
the NEWS about the STARLINGS
. . .the Starling (Chas.)who wrote
the letter about not cutting the
trees down just for “Starlings!”
We hope to pass that on to you.
He is an old graduate of “Emory
at~Oxford”, and Emory College
. . .He was with the NEWS for
several years. . .until he went on
to larger pastures. Thanks Mr.
Shields. Opps. . .that broom. . .
and I’m ALREADY “SWEEPIN’
UP.”
P. S.: Carmel Church, Mans
field is badly in need of repairs
and has to have a new roof. Th
ere are only a hand full of mem
bers now. . .and a large ceme
tery. You have friends and re
latives buried there. . .Our dear
friends the Clayton Hays and
their daughter Miss Clara Mae
Hays are buried there. It is a
sacred place and must be pre
served. We know there are many
throughout the County who want
to contribute $5.00 or SIO.OO to
this Fund. . .All who ever went
to school with Miss Clara Mae,
or knew her, or taught where she
was will want to send SI.OO to
a Hundred. They have not ask
ed me to do this. I just hap
pened to find out about it. . .
and SI.OO from every person Miss
Clara Mae helped in some way,
or was connected with, or Mr.
and Mrs. Hays. . .would send
just SI.OO to $5.00 each that ch
urch could go ahead with re
pairs most necessary right now
. . .It’s over a Hundred years
old and one of our great land
marks! Primitive Baptist!
Since 1949 more than 130
million Heart Fund dollars
have been channeled into me
dical research.

Freely give.— (Matt. 10:8)
One of the ways in which we
open our life to greater bless
ings is through the act of giv
ing. It is impossible to give
anything away! Giving is a
part of the law of God in which
the good that is shared is re
turned multiplied. We only
need to try giving love away.
Friendship and happiness re
turn in such quantities that
we are amazed at how little
love is required to bring forth
rewarding results.
