were called the Cindarella team
of State AA Tourney.
Cynthia Warr, the Captain of
North Clayton was picked for the
All-Stars because she was the
defensive expert and' like Crad
dock of Georgia Tech, was the
“Quarterback on offensive.”
Gwen Wiggins, who was All Star
last year, racked up a mighty
average of 23 points per game.

Soil Conservation Activities
By TOM COLE
Soil Conservationist
Fishing season is just around
the corner—and with over 200
private and public ponds in
Clayton County we want a good
catch of fish to take home. Fish
have been considered good food
from the beginning of history.
According to research scientists,
fish are high in nutrition and
easily digested. I will add, they
make a good meal pleasing to
taste.
Now—fish must eat, as does all
living matter. For fish to have
sufficient food to grow to eat
able size in local ponds fertilizer
is required. Fertilizer sitmulates
the growth of algae, a micro
scopic plant that is eaten by
small organisms that are food
for blue gill bream and shell
cracker. The big mouth black
bass feed on the above named
fish.
