ways of Newton County assisting
the Scouts in any way they could.
The base stations used in this
project were operated by Gilmer
Few, Mrs. Celia Johnson, Mrs.
Gladys Ellis and Mrs. Georgia
Savage.
The “Good Turn” project was
to clean the highways of trash
thrown there by the thoughtless
and careless motorist who travel
our highways each day. We hope
all the Newton County citizens
had a chance to go by the Cov
ington City Square and view the
trash these Scouts gathered from
the highways in our county.
The Scouts of Newton County
should be recommended for this
worthwhile project. The troops
who took part in this operation
deserve more than the thanks
of our citizens. Troop 807 clean
ed their assigned area and went
on to otter areas where help was
needed. All troops who assist
ed did a good job and should
be commended on a job well done.
These boys are our future leaders
and if this project is an exam
ple of their future work we must
say our future is in good hands.
