Warm greetings were extended
to the group by Walter J. Rollins
principal of the Southside School!
The speaker for the occasion
was Julius Simmons, dean of men
at the Fort Valley State College,
introduced by Dorothy J. Barden,
Negro Home Demonstration
Agent. The speaker gave a very
challenging address.
Each community voted two out
standing persons that had done
the most in cooperation with their
program and the 4-H club program
here in the county. Mr. Lewis W.
Tabor, superintendent of Houston
County Schools, ad Mr. Albert S.
Bacon, State Agent for Negro Ex
tension Work received overwhelm
ing votes.
John M. Moody, Negro County
Agent, presented the awards to
the two outstanding persons se
lected by the Farmers’ organiza
tions throughout the county. Mr.
Tabor was awarded a certificate of
award in recognition of oustand

FOR AND ABOUT TEENAGERS
SOME
A teenage girl writes: “My par
ents “fuss” and argue all the
time and when they don’t have a
disagreement of their own, they
find something to get after the
children about. Are all families
like this?”
It is indeed regrettable when
unhappy or thoughtless parents
conduct themselves in a manner
that leads their children to be
lieve wrongly and to develop an
unpleasing attitude where fami
ly life and home life are
concerned.
"Home” and "family ” are two
tion as evidenced by the School
building program in Houston coun
ty; and Mr. Bacon was presented
a certificate of award in recogni
-1 tion of outstanding leadership in
the field of Agriculture and Home
Economics in the State of Geor
gia, particularly in Houston Coun
ty. This was the first time in his
tory that farmers have made such
awards.
Mr. Tabor gave very interesting
acceptance remarks to the group.
J Comments on the program were
given by Mrs. Ozzie Mae Dixon,
president of Perry Home Demon
stration Club and Gus Banister,
chairman of County Agricultural
Planning Committee.
Mr. Seabie Hickson, administra
tive assistant to the superinten
dent, was present and also gave
remarks to the group.
BETTER PASTURES—
BETTER BEEF
Improved permanent and tem
porary winter pasture acreage has
been increasing rapidly in Georgia,
says R. 0. Williams, animal hus-
I bandman, Agricultural Extension
j Service. This has been the most
important factor in establishing
the beef cattle enterprise on a
sound basis that enables Georgia
to compete with other beef pro
ducing areas, Williams adds.
Home Atmosphere Is Important
great institutions in the life of the
boy or girl who is struggling through
the process of “growing up." The
home should be a place of safety,
security and comfort; the family
should be happy, well adjusted, and
much more a "group" than a num
ber of individuals living under the
same roof, looking after their in
terests without concern for the "to
getherness" that is so vitally an im
portant part of a happy home life.
But, o t course, things are not
always as they should be, even
in a “happy” home. The home
that has never known at least a

Young Harris College. The play
was The Heiress, presented by the j

ties.

LARGEST COTTON
PRODUCTION
D. L. Branyon, agronomist-cot
ton, Agricultural Extension Ser
vice, reports Georgia’s largest cot
ton acreage was in 1916 when
5,219,000 acres were grown. The
largest production was in 1911
when 2,769,000 bales were harvest
ed. The largest cotton acreage in
the U. S. was 44,386,000 acres in
1925, Branyon said.
By C. D. Smith
minor argument would be diffi
cult to find: But arguments and
dissention in the happy home are
short-lived.
Parents who argue before —and
with—their children work against the
realization of the "togetherness" that
unites the family group and in so
doing these same parents create an
unhappy atmosphere that under
mines the feeling of security and
comfort where their children's need
where home life is concerned.
It should be a safe assumption
that there are more “happy”
homes than “unhappy” homes in
this gredt country of ours. Let us
hope so, anyway, for the sake of
the coming generation.
Many great leaders have over
come the handicap of an unhap
py home life and, by the same
token, many children from hap
py homes, for one reason or an
other, sometimes fail to seek out
a happy life of their own. Yet,
common sense tells which type
of home life is most likely to
produce the leaders we shall need
in an atomic, space-age world.
