of communication between the
Board and the teachers. If any
one of the three units fails to
understand its role, or if it func
tions from selfish motives, then
the cause of education in the
county suffers. However, when
there is mutual understanding and
respect among the three areas,
and when communication is easy,
trouble is not likely to arise. A
professionally mature group of
teachers can do much to establish
such an atmosphere conducive to
the best interests of education.
Mrs. C. D. Ramsey gave an in
teresting devotional on “Finding

After a short business session,
door prizes, which had been do
nated by White’s Inc., Fletcher’s
Jewelry Store, Harper’s 5 & 10
Cent Store, and Allen’s 5 & 10
Cent Store, were awarded the fol-
340 students used the library.
The library wishes to acknow
ledge with sincere appreciation
the gift of 38 books by Messrs
Najjar and Peay. These books,
if bought on the market would
cost nearly S2OO. We also wish
to express appreciation to the
Beta Club for its gift of Rlch
ard’s-Best Short Plays of the
World Theater, which is now on
the shelves.
There will not be a paper
drive for December, but it will
resume pick-up in January.

Gamma Tri-Hi-Y
Has Yule Project
The December meeting of the
Gamma-Tri-Hi-Y was called to
order by President Gay Bankston
on Dec. 4. The chaplain gave the
devotion after which the secre
tary called the roll and read the
minutes of the previous meeting.
The various reports were gi
ven. The Community Project for
December will be to take a poin
settia to the Smith Home for Ch
ristmas. For the School Pro
ject, the club plans to buy a book
on Christmas for the Library.
Also, the club plans to clean
out the Trophy Case in the lobby.
The World Service Chairman th
anked everyone who participated
in the Powder Puff Football
Game. From this game the club
made $53.63. The president an
nounced that anyone who wanted
to could contribute to the Mayor’s
Pilgrimage to Milledgeville.
The meeting was turned over
to the Vice-President who in
troduced the speaker. Mrs. Dan
Moore gave a talk on “Clean Li
ving”. She stressed the impor
tance of forming good, clean ha
bits and morals. Members en
joyed the talk and gained some
thing from it.
The club sang Christmas ca
rols until the meeting was ad
journed by the bell.
$1,500 Golden Rod

ELECTRONIC GOLDENROD. All that glitters mavnotbe gold, but it
may be gold-plated. Linda Smith of Western Electric’s Allentown
Works in Pennsylvania displays a group of transistor parts that are
just that—gold-plated. However, the rod held by Linda Is not plated.
It is $1,500 worth of pure gold and is used in plating the tiny devices
heaped in front of it. Ten thousand of these parts can be plated from
a single 20-inch rod. Western Electric uses gold on transistors and
other devices it manufactures for the Bell System, both for the metal’s
electrical properties and for the thoroughbred qualities that make it
resistant to corrosion and easy to join to other metals.

Hi-Y Club of Newton County High
School was called to order by

nesday, December 4, 1968, The

eaker, Mr. S. J. Morcock of

STAR Folders
Now Available
To HS Seniors
More than 90,000 STAR folders
describing the 1968-69 Student
Teacher Achievement Recogni
tion (STAR) Program of the Geo
rgia Chamber of Commerce are
being distributed to high school
seniors by State Superintendent
Jack P. Nix.
The 1969 State STAR Student
will receive a SSOO check from
Atlanta Gas Light Company, a
Pan American World Airlines
trip to Europe and a Chamber
of Commerce STAR Statuette to
be awarded at the Georgia Cham
ber of Commerce’s Annual Ban
quet at the Regency Hyatt House,
Friday, April 18, 1969.
The State STAR Teacher will
receive a SSOO Sears Roebuck
Foundation Scholarship and the
Georgia Chamber of Com
merce’s ALF Statuette.
Ten Callaway Leadership Aw
ards -a week’s vacation at Cal
laway Gardens, Pine Mountain,
Georgia - will be awarded to all
district STAR winners and their
families. District winners and
Ist runner up STAR students
in each District will also be
guests of the Georgia Chamber
for an eight day educational
sight-seeing STAR Tour of Geo
rgia.
STAR Students are named on
the basis of their scores on the
College Board Scholastic Apti
tude Test (SAT) and the scholastic
average for the first semester
of their senior year.
To participate in the STAR
Program, a student must take
the SAT given either November
2 or December 7, 1968, To be
eligible for consideration, grades
for each part of the test must be
at least equal to the latest avail
able national average, and the
student must be a regularly en
rolled senior in one of Georgia’s
accredited public or private high
schools, unmarried, and in the
upper 10 percent scholastically of
his class for the first semester
of his senior year.
“Beauty queens and football
heroes have long received honor
and glory,” said Ovid Davis, ch
airman of the Chamber’s Educa
tion Council, “while outstanding
scholars and teachers have been
virtually unrecognized until the
Georgia Chamber initiated the
STAR Program in 1958. STAR
recognizes and promotes aca
demic achievement, honors the
teaching profession and explains
the merits of the free enterprise
system.”
On many farms empty pesti
cide containers can be found at
this time of the year. Maxey
Nolan, entomologist withthe Uni
versity of Georgia Cooperative
Extension Service, says these
empty pesticide containers
should be destroyed.

AT&T’s Second Leg Underground
Cable System Is Now Open
The second leg of a high-ca
pacity underground telephone ca
ble system which will ultimately
link Boston and Miami was placed
in service between Washington,
D. C. and New York City today
by the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company.
The Miami to Washington sec
tion of the cable, which passes
through Georgia, went into ser
vice last fall, according to Ray
Reece Southern Bell’s Manager
in Covington,
AT & T long lines department,
the Bell Systems interstate and
overseas operating unit, is dir
ecting construction of the pro
ject, which represents an invest
ment of about $2lO million. The
route is expected to be comple
ted to Boston in mid-1969.
Mr. Reece said this month’s
extension of the cable to New
York will provide needed addi
tional circuits for the busy win
ter season telephone traffic be
tween Miami and New York.
The extension is capable of
providing 32,000 voice channels,
and the added circuits will also
Improve long distance commun
ications between other metropol
itan centers along the East Coast,
including the heavily used Wash
ington - Philadelphia - New York,
route, Mr. Reece added.
The 1800- mile main route of
the cable was designed to bypass
big cities and military target ar
eas. The 250-mile section plac
ed in operation today, for exam
ple, extends from Dranesville,
Va., about 20 miles northwest of
Washington, to Netcong, N. J„
about 50 miles Westof New York.
Metropolitan areas are linked

$ 375 Pay Hike?
That Will Make
You Poorer
According to the Rotary Re
minder, “If you are making $7,-
500 a year, and just received a
$375 pay hike, don’t rejoice.
You were better off a year ago.
Your federal taxes will be in
creased $147, your Social Se
curity, S4O, your state and local
levies s3l. That should leave •
you $157 free and clear — but
It doesn’t. The expected 3 per
cent hike In the cost of living will
cost you slßl, making you $24
poorer than in 1966.”
If you store apples, store them ;
at 30 to 32 degrees Fahrenheit. -
This Is the advice of C. D. Spi
vey, horticulturist with the Uni
versity of Georgia Cooperative
Extension Service. Most varle- .
ties of apples currently grown :
should be stored at this temper
ature ranee.
