the Perry High School 4-H Club
for five years, carrying projects
in child care, clothing, food prep
aration, beef calf, home improve
ment, leadership and public
speaking. This isn’t the first ex
perience she has had in a district
contest, for she entered Junior

and wbn fourth place, The fol
lowing year she was second place
winner in junior public speaking.
She has given her winning speech
to various local organizations and
friends, among them the Farm
Bureau and the Perry Home
Demonstration Club.
From here Sylvia goes to Mil
ledgcville for the State 4-H Club
Council meeting in August to
compete with five other districts
winners in determining the stale
winner. The state award is an
expense-paid trip to State Con
gress in Atlanta, and a trip to

Value of real estate and per
sonal property in Houston coun
ty and taxes levied for state,
county and school purposes have
just about tripled in the last 10
years, according to records in the
office of Miss Florine Rainey,
county tax collector.
In 1941 the aggregate assessed
valuation on the tax rolls was
$2,693,255 and the net taxable
valuation after deduction of the
homestead exemption was $2,032,-
667.
This year the aggregate assess
ed valuation is $6,371,150 and the
net taxable property $4,704,429.
The amount of taxes levied in
1941 was $71,985.64 under a total
rate of 34 mills for state, county
and school purposes.
Tax Rate Reduced
This year total taxes levied for
all purposes is $203,561.06 under
a tax rate of 42 mills, not in
cluding Perry district school
bonds.
This is a reduction from the
1950 rate of 46 mills. The tax
rate has been reduced for two
consecutive years, while reve
nues increased because of greater
valuations on the tax rolls—re
flections of the growth of Warner
Robins and other developments
in the county.^
Books are open for' the pay
ment of state, county and school
taxes on the new digest and some
payments have already been re
ceived, Miss Rainey said.

LAKE JOY WAS ONCE
THARPE’S MILL
Old Tharpe’s Mill has been
Lake Joy for several years now.
After it had been abandoned
for many years, Grant Kersey of
Clearwater, Fla. and Royce Ker
sey greatly improved it with
sand beaches, a bathhouse and
refreshment stands and a large
dancing and skating pavillion.
They changed the name to
Lake Joy and operated the
amusement park until George B.
Wells, who had also had a part
in developing the residential area
around Houton Lake, took over
the operation of Lake Joy.
Its skating rink is a particular
ly popular mecca for the Perrv
young people.
