Northcutt to Introduce
Airport Resolution
State Rep. Lamar North
cutt stated today. “It is my
intentions to introduce the
Airport Resolution as a bill
at the next session of the
General Assembly.” The
Resolution by Rep. North
cutt passed the House but
died as time ran out over in
the Senate.
Northcutt stated, “In or
der to give the people of my
district some relief from the
losses they suffer from air
port expansion, a bill will
become law upon the signa
ture of the Governor A res
olution must be voted on in
a general election which will
take much more time since
the general election will be
held in November of this
year. If the bill is successful
In January, It could become
law as early as February.
This w’ould be a difference
in time of only three
months.’’ Rep. Northcutt
further stated. “The City of
Atlanta continues to con
demn property and pay ex
tremely low prices to the
people of my district I feel
the people are entitled to a
fair and Just price in all
cases I certainly intend to
do something to give these
people the representation
they deserve”.
The Resolution introduced
by Rep. Northcutt last year
provides: 1 The airport ex
pansion would relocate these
people in the immediate or
equally good residential
area.
2 Ad Valorem taxes would
be pro-rated on an equal
basis Property owners now
pay for a full year.
3 Airport expansion will
pay all attorney fees should
the case go to court
4 Airport expansion will
pay all appraisers fees.
“I feel these requests to be
fair and honest since many
people are unable to relo
cate under the present law
Most of them really have no
desire to move out of a com
munity they have lived for

Keep Foliage On Roses
By CHARLES S. TUCKER
County Agent
The abundance of rose
flowers is in direct propor
tion to the number of leaves
present. Healthy, vigorous
plants have a large total
leaf area. Since food for the
production of the flowers
must be manufactured In
the leaves, any leaf reduc
tion will drastically reduce
the quality and quantity of
future flowers. In order to
stimulate new growth, fer
tilize roses lightly once a
month and water at least
once a week when the soil
becomes dry. The big prob-

at 5:30 and 7:30, and with
। 463 children involved in
these activities, that isn’t an
easy feat’ The Association
is very proud of each of its
teams, and especially of the
managers and coaches, um
pires and officials, without
whom none of this would be
possible. And of course, we
must surely recognize the
untiring efforts of Larry
Helms, President of the As
sociation. Ron Napty, Presi
dent of Little League, and
j Brenda Byrd. President of
I Girls' Softball. The Ladies’
Auxiliary, under the direc
tion of Irene Osborne. Presi
dent, is doing a tremendous
job of keeping up the con
cession stand. obtaining
workers, and serving, with
help from the Morrow Jun
ior Woman’s Club.
But how can any one per
son be singled out to thank?
It is team spirit which
makes any organization, and
this one has plenty! There
have been squabbles in the
past, but these are normal
in the course of any group
trying to form a working re
lationship We have attribu
ted our minor arguments to
"growing pains", which we
are still having, naturally.
lem with roses, however, is
to keep the foliage once it
has been produced! Black
spot, a fungus disease that
attacks rose foliage, is a
cause of leaf drop through
out the growing season In
Georgia. This disease can be
controlled effectively with a
preventive spray schedule.
Poor control will result with
an erratic spray schedule.
An application of a fungi
cide once a week is sug
gested. Apply whether rain
is expected or not. The fun
gicides folpet (Phaltan) and
maneb (Manzate) are very
effective for black spot con
trol.
SOIL CONSERVATION WEEK
MAY 19-26, 1968
FOREWORD:
Initiative has been a primary factor in the success
of many men, but few have matched the vibrant pro
ductivity of the poet, Robert Browning. Both in phi
losophy as well as in life, Browning demonstrated
that the prize is in the process and the exhilaration
of action in inexhaustible. It is of no small conse
quence that the youth of our time get involved and
become a part of "the action."
Certainly there is, today, no more significant "ac
tion" than the purposeful enhancement of basic re
sources. These resources—natural, cultural, and per
sonal —-determine the possibility of feeding the hun
gry, extending freedom, and increasing individual
fulfillment. Os particular importance, if we are to
have a future, is sufficient initiative, today, to pro
vide for an adequacy of productive soil as well as
healthful water and air. It is still true, as Seneca of
ancient times observed, that "a hungry nation listens not to reason, cares not for justice,
nor is bent by prayer."
Awareness of the need is good; taking some initiative is better; but the best is to be found
in joining with God and others in an all-out effort that secures the greatest benefit to all.
Such a partnership of technology and theology is to be found in the conservation move
ment and specifically within Soil Conservation Districts. Joining in the nationwide celebra
ton of Soil Stewardship Week is a form of initative that enables us to give first rate loyalty
to a primary cause.
Too many people never find the joy in action that Robert Browning personified because they
react to any challenge on the basis of the availability of their time and the sufficiency of
their ability. When confronted by his great challenge, Jesus took the initiative by affirm
ing, for this cause came I unto this hour." May we also care enough about the cause of
conservation to keep it primary and thereby help secure the future.
