Checks will be mailed to the winners in the near future. Congratulations to all contestants for the fine jobs you • did. Boy Scout Finance Drive To Start The West Georgia Council has ov er twelve hundred and fifty Scouts and six hundred leaders active in the program in Heard. Harris. Meri 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 $22339.00 for its 1950 operation. To achieve this goal, it is necessary for all of us to give liberally to this Youth Movement, which sole purpose is to help de velop our boys into better citizens. This budget when compared with the cost to take care of delinquent boys, is most reasonable, as the average cost to keep the boy in jail or pris on runs from $500.00 to $1,000.00 a year. Mr. Hugh Mickle of Franklin will be in charge of the drive here in Heard County, along with a group of other interested citizens. When you are called upon to sup port Scouting today, remember you me helping to build the men at to morrow.

But anyway, just come on over to the Flat Rock Camp Ground Friday night and bid on everything you want Do your best to get there by 7 30. The various M Y F.’s are having booths and you will want to take them in. And I then there will be those two clowns; oh well, it does not make any differ . ence who they are. or where they came । from. Some people have called them Red Devils, but they are not as bad as that. But you will get many laughs ! from their antics. We will all want to hear the Gospel I Harmony Quartett sing those great gospel songs. There is a lot in the pot cooking and you cannot tell what will ' come out next. For every' dollar spent in the auction a ticket will be given, and you will have a chance at a basket of groceries.

And then there will be a prize for a boy and another man for some girl. My, my, Ma going to be great. I can’t Inidßy wait. No admission J veiyh^ toi tired Preacher. George McLain went with us as driver. I find that George ’ is a mighty handy man to have around. He is a very good driver. We use nt to Turin for a Home Coming. I had been to Turin a number of times and ' was anxious to go back. The pastor. , Rev. E P. Eubanks is a retired preach jer and has done a remarkable work ■on that charge. They had a crowded house, and were real polite and brag ' ged on the sermon. Soon after dinner we went to Kincaid Church in La- Grange and the Retired Preacher prea ‘ ehed at 230. And believe it or not it Iwas not the same sermon. In fact it was from a text that the preacher had never used before. I was pastor of the church for four years and some of th* ■ people said it was the best sermon that they ever heard hi mpreach. That is encouraging. I had been away from that churh for forty years, and so many have passed on the other side. But there were quite a number left and I was glad to see them. Yours for a busy life.
