HEARD COUNTY
OMTTTED FROM
GOVERNMENT DROUTH
DISASTER AREA
—
Seventy odd Georgia Counties were
named drouth disaster areas by the ;
Department of Agriculture on Sep-'
tember 16. Heard County, for some
unknown reason, was not included
in the list. Many counties v’ere in
cluded which, from all reports, were
in much better condition than Heard.
Carroll and Coweta, which were ail[
excluded from the list.
The counties named in the list be- i
came eligible for aid from the gov- •
eminent in the form of hay. seed
and feed. Local agricultural lead- ;
ers and public officials were at a
loss to understand why Heard Coun
ty was not included in the list with |
approximately #O% of the county
suffering from the most severe:
drouth since 1925 and with pastures
and crops almost completely ruined
by the lack of rainfall The extent j
of the drouth in Heard County can
readily be seen by only casual ob-•
servation. The corn crop is report
ed to be only' about 2^G °r normal,
pastures have turned brown and all
winter pastures appear to be dead
and many old-timers report seeing
creeks and streams dry for the first
time in their life.
Representative Charles L Goodson
with the backing of local agricultural
leaders, expressed his intention of,
appealing the matter to Georgia’s ।
Senators. Richard Russed. and Wal-■
ter George, and 4th District Con-,
gressman-elect. Jack Flynt.
The News and Banner sincerely
hopes that the Department at
riaßMee will reexamine the satua,
hMaMwataKh * Heard County
eri inetate the county to the Kst
of entitled to aid. We be- ■
lieve the circumstances warrant ।

' tet from LaGrange will be on hand
to make some music. This quartet
is made up of Miss Bobbie Veal. Jer

clowns to keep things lively.
The Parcel Post Variety Show is

Speaking of the Camp Ground, I
! was talking to a preacher who says
Ithat he and his wife are tithing;
and that they have a ten dollar bill
for the camp ground. I have been
t thinking ever since about people giv
! ing the Flat Rock Camp Ground a
• part of their tithe. I asked a church
member about his tithe, and he did
not know what I was talking about.
It is time Church members are wak
। ing up to the call of the Kingdom.

Remember. the question is not whether farm

The West Georgia Council of’
which Heard County is a part, win f
hi-e their Boy Scout Finance Drive.•
October 5. This year all Boy Scout i
Councils in the states at Georgia }
North and South Carolin* will have,
drives on the same date, so that ev-'
eryone will know about the drive I
and have an opportunity to partie-1
pate in it.
The West Georgia Council has ov
er twelve hundred and fifty Scouts
and six hundred leaders active in the *
program in Heard. Harris, Meri- 1
wether and Troup Counties, in 77
Cub Scout, Boy Scout and Explorer
units. To carry on this program,
the Council is endeavoring to raise'
a budget of #22.339.00 for its 1965 1
operation. To achieve this goal. itj
is necessary for all of us to give
liberally to this Youth Movement.,
which sole purpose is to help dr-'
veiop our boys into better atuana.;
This budget when compared with the'
cost to take care of delinquent boys. I
is most reasonable, as the average ’
cost to keep the boy in jail or prie- 1
on runs from $500.00 to $1,000.00 «t
year.
Mr. Hugh Mickle of Franklin will i
be in charge of the drive here in
Heard County , along with a group as
other interested citizens.
When you are called upon to sup- *
port Scouting today, remember you
are helping to build the men of to
morrow.
