MARTHA EVANS WASN’T SELECTED AS
MAID OF COTTON BUT HAD A GOOD TIME
Martha Evans, a Georgia Maid;
of Cotton, returned from Memphis,!
Tennessee, without a national title
but reporting a wonderful time.
Typical of Martha she talked
Perry during her entire stay. In
her speech before 8,000 National
Cotton Council guests she proudly
stated that she was from Perry,
Georgia, the only Maid who so
advertised her home town. She
also told about Houston county.
She talked Perry so much that a
young cotton planter from Missis
sippi, named Perry, was selected
as her escort for the presentation
dance.
The Maid of Cotton contest was
described by Martha as fabulous.
She had her picture made innum
erable times, appeared in the
Memphis paper 7 times, was inter
viewed over a Memphis TV chan
nel and by a tape recorded tele
phone conversation from WSB,
Atlanta.
There was a beauty consultation
by a representative from the Con
over School of New York City, a
hair styling by a New York stylist,
and a showing of new styles by a
New York designer.
Flowers were furnished every
day and for each occasion. The
presentation dinner dance was in
the famous Skyway room of the
Peabody Hotel with music by
Ralph Flannagan. The Memphis
Rotarians honored the “Maids”
with a special luncheon and there
was a breakfast at the University
Club. On the final night before
8,000 guests the “Maids” each
made a speech and again appeared
on TV. From outsiders as well as
tuberculosis information through
a special education program at the
hospital.
“Christmas Seal dollars are
needed to continue these activities
in the New Year,” Mr. Whipple
said. “For more than fifty years
Christmas Seals have waged war
on tuberculosis, but the fight is
far from won,” he continued.
“Your contribution to the current
drive for funds will bring health
and happiness to some tuberculo
sis patient,” the chairman said,
“and your gift will help inform
Georgia citizens about a serious
i public health problem.”
Anyone not receiving Christmas
Seals but wishing to contribute,
may send their contribution to
Houston County Tuberculosis As
sociation, Perry, Ga.
from the family comes the report
that Martha did Perry proud.
Martha reports that the right
girl was chosen as Maid of Cotton.
“She has all the graciousness of
the Old South,” said Martha, “She
says I talked Perry sc much that
when she is in Atlanta she plans
to come down.”
The new Maid is from Okla
homa. Her father was unable to
attend because another oil well
came in inconveniently. He
thought he would catch the next
plane but the snow grounded all
others.
As Maid of Cotton from Georgia,
Martha received such prizes as
SIOO, cosmetic bag, a year’s supply
of cosmetics, costume jewelry, and
such cotton items as luncheon set,
pillow cases, gown, gloves and
pocket book.
Mrs. W. B. Evans, her mother,
and Miss Martha Cooper accom
panied the Georgia Maid of Cot
ton to Memphis.
SMITH AND PAUL
HEAD HEART DRIVE
Felix Smith and Lee Paul, both
of Perry, have been named co
chairmen for the 1959 Heart Fund
Drive in Houston county, accord
ing to an announcement by Bruns
wick Bagdon and Carter Redd,
state campaign co-chairmen.
Mr. Smith is a doctor of Veter
inary Medicine and Mr. Paul is in
the realty and insurance business
in Perry.
The Heart Fund Drive, conduct
ed in February each year, is the
Heart Association’s single appeal
for funds to support the heart pro
gram of research, education, and
community service. The GHA also
contributes to the national re
search program of the American
Heart Association.
Mr. Bagdon and Mr. Redd said
the Heart Association was proud
to have such able leadership for
this year’s county Heart Fund
Drive. “We feel certain that our
drive in this area against heart
disease will be an outstanding suc
cess,” they said.
Since the organization of the
Heart Association as a voluntary
health agency eleven years ago,
great strides have been made in
the development of new and more
effective methods of diagnosis,
treatment, care and prevention of
heart and circulatory disease.
Georgia now has one of the lead
ing heart research programs in
the nation. Chairs of Cardiovascu
lar Research and Established In
vestigatorships are supported by
Heart Funds at each of Georgia’s
two medical schools.
The Georgia Heart Clinic Sys
tem, sponsored by the Heart Asso
ciation, is the only such program
organized on a state-wide basis.
Clinics are located in 16 cities
throughout the State for the diag
nosis and treatment of indigent pa
tients who are unable to obtain
care through regular channels.
In the field of heart disease, the
Georgia Heart Association con
ducts a continuous campaign of
education both with the medical
profession and for the general
public. This provides authorita
tive information for doctors and
laymen alike.
In Georgia, more than 17,000
deaths resulted from heart ail
ments in 1957, the latest year for
which statistics are available. An
estimated 300,000 Georgians suf
fer from cardiovascular disease
and its consequent limitations at a
cost of millions to the prosperity
of the State.

In liiiiiH you used more
electricity than ever before
J
THE GEORGIA HOMES we serve have set a new
record in their use of electricity —an increase of
10.6 per cent over 1957. Commercial and indus
trial requirements rose 2.6 per cent.
Plenty of power was available for existing
customers and the 13,000 new customers added
during the year.
Since World War II we have invested nearly
half a billion dollars in expanding and improving
the electrical facilities that serve you. Last year
we spent more than $53 million more than a
million dollars a week—for construction.
This growth in electric power supply and de
mand is an important factor in Georgia’s economy.
Another item of importance is our 1958 tax bill
of approximately $27 million, which represents
20 cents of every dollar received. This money is
paid to local, state and federal governments and
benefits you and all other Georgia citizens.
