The immediate concern

EDUCATION of the

as the abilities of those
who suffer from con
vulsive disorders.

for ways it can best serve
handicapped people in

are being made to DROP
any of the club's current
community service
projects such as two
scholarships for Perry

Schools seniors, purchase
of items for the two
nursing homes, generous
contributions to the
Perry-Houston County
hospital and other local
drives, activities, etc.
The Pilot Club of Perry,

old Kist is right there ready to pay you when
—you bring the corn in and have it weighed up.
II • think that’s very important’.’
Tommye Collins, Live Oak, Florida
B"When a farmer grows something
and sells it, he's ready for his money.
That's the way I look at it. At Gold
Kist, when you bring your corn or
whatever in, you get your check right
then. I like that.
“Another thing. They have excellent
facilities. You can bring a load up and
in a matter of minutes nave it dumped
—even if it's a trailer load. That goes,
too, for the times a lot of corn is
coming in. There's usually only a short ♦
wait, and you can get back to the field.
“Then you've got good personal
service. That means a lot. You know
the people, and they're friendly to
you. They're fair and honest, too, with
things like the moisture calculation
and all that.
“As a co-op, Gold Kist is set up to
help a lot of people. Farmers have
got to have somebody looking out
for them.. .somebody out hunting
markets for them. If it's not someone
big enough, like Gold Kist, you can
have a bottleneck... more supply
than you've got demand for. Gold
Kist helps create more markets for
us, and in the long run that can help
raise the prices we get.
“Last, there's the refund. If Gold
Kist makes a profit, you know you're
going to share in it. It's like raising
the price of the commodity you're
selling.
"I do business with Gold Kist
because of service, personnel, and
because I get paid
incash when I market
prains, or whatever.
