Sixth Graders Plan
To Show Handiwork
Miss Jackson’s section of the
sixth grade is planning an exhibit
on the first Thursday in March.
The objects to be shown are a part
of their class work completed since
the beginning of the spring semes
ter. The group is making booklets
to show products, industries, his
toric and scenic places, and famous
people of Georgia.
This project is a correlation be
tween their history course and
Georgia io-day. Other work to be i
displayed will include objects mo
deled from wood and clay. Felton
Norwood has constructed a minia
ture covered wagon, complete even
to water jug. Jean Lewis, Larry
Elder, Chalmus Chapman, and
Billy Stewart have made log cabins.
Kenneth Whipple has fashioned
from clay a ski-man and a horse
and sleigh. David Gray has made j
an airplane. Leonard Chapman, in
p despondent mood, modeled his
own grave.
Hog prices probably will be
maintained at high levels durihg
tlie summer of 1947 by strong con
sumer demand for meat and the ex
pected reduction in pork supplies,
economists of the Extension Ser
vice report.
Aultmcm Teaching
Law to Students
Mr. H. A. Aultman, a local attor
ney, is teaching a course in law to
the senior class. Lessons are held
twice a week in connection with
their study of government. A part
of the period is devoted to lectures
by Mr. Aultman and the remaining
time to questions asked by the
seniors. Lectures given have dealt
with law courts, contracts, promis
sory notes, checks, and criminal
laws. The seniors have found the
plans to continue the lessons for j
| five more periods.
I
First Graders See

The first grade had the pleasure
of seeing themselves in a moving
picture, which was made for them
by Mr. Roy Gandy, father of one of
the first-graders, Kim Gandy.
The film showed them partici
pating in various games and ac
tivities. The children thought this
was definitely the best film they had
ever seen. And it must have been

• MACHINES RUN WITH THE
CLOCK
“By changing to mechanical po
. wer, output per worker is increased,
j the job is done faster and frequent
• ly better,” says I. W. Duggan of the
|U. S. Department of Agriculture,
who is Governor of the Farm Cred
j it Administration. “This is particu
larly important in getting the job
done on time. Old Man Weather
sometimes gives the farmer only a
short time to do critical field work.
Mechanical power that gets the job
done in the limited time when the
weather is right may mean the dif
ference between good crops and a
profit and short crops and a loss.”
TRUETLEN DDT PROGRAM
More than 450 Truetlen County
farm homes were sprayed with
DDT in 1946, according to County
Agent J. L. Bridges. He said this
week that 2.600 gallons of emulsion
were used in the county and that
charge for spraying was $1 per
farm. Generally reports indicated
that control of mosquitoes, flies,
silverfish, bedbugs and spiders was
satisfactory. According to Bridges,
the spray apparently did not reach
the living quarters of roaches and
water bugs and control of these
pests was not complete.
