FBLA Hears
Mr. Kessinger
Mr. Kessinger, Assistant Per
sonnel Manager for Hercules,
gave an inspiring talk at the
November meeting of the FBLA.
Mr. Kessinger’s talk was about
keeping a good appearance at all
times, which consisted of things
to do and remember for working
people.
He advised us to try to be at
ease during the interview and to
answer the question directly. You
should ask pertinent questions but
not unnecessary ones. All of
these points will help you get
ahead.
The business was then at
tended to. Pam Bohannon, pre
sident, then asked about the un
sold fruit cakes. She then asked
if anyone could take more cakes
to sell, since we have ordered
three more cases. She said
that we might be able to sell
some on the Square on a Satur
day morning.
We will have the concession
stand at the December 12 bas
ketball game.
Students Work At Christmas Aids SS Status
“Students, that Christmas
part-time job may do more than
help pay your tuition or pay for
new cloths. For one thing, it will
buy you valuable social security
protection for yourself and later
for your family,” Neil W. Quar
les, social security field repre
sentative for Newton County area,
said in a statement released to
day. “Social security is a lot
more than retirement and Medi
care.”
“Young people can get valu
able survivors and disability pro
tection with as little as a year
and a half of work under social
security,” said Quarles.
“Thanks to the work they do
part-time and on vacations, many
high school and college students
are already insured for both
kinds of young people’s protec
tion even before they begin their
regular working careers.”
Quarles gave three basic sug
gestions to young workers who
want to get the most protection

. Make sure your employer
has correctly recorded your so

. If part of your wages is
received in tips, it is also im

Wesleyan College
Gift Campaign
Is Underway
Pledges and gifts of $75,000
were reported last week at the
first Atlanta metro area report
meeting of the Wesleyan Col
lege Capital Gifts Campaign, ac
cording to James A. Mackay, De
catur lawyer and former U. S.
Congressman, who is campaign
chairman.
An anonymous donor started
the Atlanta area campaign with
a gift of $50,000.
The overall national goal for
the Macon college is 1 1/2 mil
lion dollars. One million dol
lars has already been pledged
or given in the Macon area cam
paign and by Wesleyan Board of
Trustees.
Wesleyan alumnae, parents of
students, and friends of the col
leg throughout the Atlanta metro
area are being solicited during
November. A group of 27 teams
composed of Wesleyan alumnae
and their husbands are the wor
kers.
Wesleyan College, chartered
1836, has historic significance
for all Georgian’s as it is
the world’s first college charter
ed to grant degrees to women.
The campaign in the Atlanta
metro area for capital funds con
tributions to Wesleyan ends De
cember 2.
Dr. W. Earl Strickland, pre
sident of Wesleyan said, “The
urgency of this campaign for
capital funds contributions to
Wesleyan College is due to the
economic crisis in education,
especially among private col
leges. There are women’s col
leges in America, and other pri
vate schools, that will not sur
vive; but surely the world’s first
college chartered to grant de
grees to women and which has
maintained its standards of ex
cellence throughout its long his
tory deserves to be one of the
ones to survive, and to move
forward’’.
Dr. Hoyt Oliver, of Oxford is
Team Captain for the Wesleyan
campaign in this area. Team
members are Miss Sarah Mobley
and Mrs. E. L. Stephenson.
Mars Craters
THE ‘OASES’ ON MARS may
be large impact craters like those
on the moon, a University of
Southern California astronomer
says. Acting upon a suggestion
by a colleague, he made a size
versus-number plot of the tele
scopically observed “oases.” He
compared it with similar plots of
lunar craters and of small Mar
tian craters as revealed by Ma
riner IV photos. “The parall
elism of the plots for ‘oases’
and lunar craters indicates the
likelihood of a common origin,
probably by meteoritic bombard
ment,” he said.
He added that some “canals”
may be strings of craters or
fracture lines or faults radiat
ing out from the point of impact
of large meteorites.
THE COVINGTON NEWS
Drivers Slow Up for Safety
Motorists are cautioned to be extra alert when driving in
twilight during the short winter days, because more traffic acci
dents occur during the early evening hours than at any other
period of the day or night.
The American Oil Company advises its own drivers to be
aware of the major differences between summer and fall
driving.
Motorists will do more driving during hours of darkness,
and night-time driving has proven to be more hazardous than
daylight driving. The driver can see only as far as his head
lights can reach, and he can see little to the left or right.
A good driver will drive 10 miles per hour below the day
time speed limit, without exception; be alert more than usual
to other vehicles and pedestrians, and be especially watchful
at intersections.

) As we gather around the festive board, symbolic of the
' Bountiful Harvest which inspired the Pilgrim's First Thanks-
> giving Day, may we join Edgar A. Guest in his beautiful
Thanksgiving Prayer:
"Dear Lord, accept our humble prayer of thanks for all Thy
watchful care,
For yield of field and vine and tree Our hearts give grati
tude to Thee;
Now lies the frost upon the vine, We see another year
decline,
But through the pain and strife and woe Thy blessings
manifestly show.
Dear Lord, for laughter and for song which have been ours;
for righted wrong,
For steps of progress we have made, For all the works of
art and trade,
i
For science which has conquered pain And given hope
where hope seemed vain;
For all that helps mankind to live, This day to Thee our
thanks we give.
Dear Lord, despite its pain and strife, We thank Thee
for our richer life;
This is a better world for man Than when this closing
year began;
We who have suffered still can find Proof of Thy love
and mercy kind;
In all our works Thy hand we see And bow in gratitude
to Thee.

Extra! Extra! Read all about
It! The Junior Class bursts
their quota!
Yes it’s true. The annual
Junior Class magazine sale is
over with a great triumph for
the Juniors.
The drive began October 14th
with a ten day schedule ahead.
The eager Juniors set out and
began selling magazines to raise
money for the Junior Senior Prom
in April.
Almost every Junior worked
hard to reach our goal set at
$4,000.00, and with a little extra
effort the class surpassed that
quota by alm st $300.00.
The climax of the sale was the
presenting of the prizes to all
top salesmen. Due to our bargain
with the representative from the
Perfect School Plan Magazine
Company, a one hundred dollar
bill would be presented to the
top salesman if the class went
over $400.00. The bargain was

announced. Ist place to Claudine
Stowe, selling $153.53 in

An added twist at the meeting
was the final act of triumph
for the Junior Class. President
Roy Callaway, due to another
bargain, was contracted to roll
a peanut with his nose down the
aisle of the auditorium. The
bargain was carried out and Roy
defiantly rolled the peanut amid
cheers from the class.
Yes, the sale is over but the
Junior class is not at rest. Many
more activities are coming up
which the Juniors will tackle.
With this spirited class behind
them, they will not remain undone
for long.
