$1,071.24 PRESENTED TO
CITY OF TRENTON
A check for $1,071.24 was de¬
livered to the city of Trenton
February 24-56, by J. T. Morgan
Jr. District Manager, of the
Georgia Power Company. This
payment represents three oer
cent of the gross receipts in
1955 from the sale of electric
power to commercial and res¬
idential customers of the com¬
pany under the Municipal Part¬
nership Plan. The three per cent
tax is paid by the company in
place of occupation and fran¬
chise taxes. The plan permits
the city to share in the growth
o*' the electric business in the
city. The three per cent gross
reciepts tax is in addition to
the company’s property taxes
paid to the county and city.
The Georgia Power Comp¬
any’s tax bill for 1955 amounted
to more than $20,000,000. Of the
total, more than $1,580,000 is be¬
ing paid to the communities of
Georgia under the Municipal
Partnership Plan. This is an in¬
crease of more than $100,000 ov¬
er last year.
City, county and state prop¬
erty taxes came to $4,200,000 for
1955 in comparison with $3,900,-
000 in 1954.
The $20,000,000 total tax fig¬
ure does not include the Geor¬
gia three per cent sales tax which
the company collects from its
customers as a tax-gatherer for
the state nor the salees tax which
the company pays on materials
used in its operations.

By Naomi Hubble
The person who presides with
perfection is poised and at
before her audience because 1
* he has followed some simple
steps in her preparation for the
job. If possible, always go to
the platform ahead of time, so j
you will feel at home there. Get
the feel of the size of the room,
locate your chair, plan the ar-j
of the other chairs 1
rangement
and know where other
will be seated. Another “must”
if you are presiding is that
make sure you are well groom-
ed, then forget about your j
scnal appearance. Usually you
are seated to the left of the (
speaker. beyond If others are stand to be beside sea-j
ted you,,
your chair until the others reach
their places before sitting down.
Be gracious to all who are on
the platform with you. Listen
while others are speaking and
never go over your notes while
your guest is speaking. Forget
yourself, your clothing, your hair
and your jewelry. Keep your
hands away from your face or
hair and don’t ‘play’ with beads
or other jewelry. Breathe deep¬
ly. It will help you to relax.
Chatting with your speaker be¬
forehand will give you a chance
to make sure you have the cor¬
rect pronunciation of their
names, titles, organizations re¬
presented, and the subject of
their talks. Speakers can do
better work when they have a
sincere friendly introduction.
Make your audience realize
that the speaker is an authori¬
ty on his subject and they will
listen intently. Avoid such phra¬
ses in introductions as, ‘Needs
no introduction’ or ‘I give you.’
It is correct to give the qualifi-
jations, experience and achie
yements of the speaker briefly.
Give his name at the end of
the introduction. After your
speaker has risen, turn and walk
to your chair. Do not walk back¬
wards. Listen attentively while
he talks and r.t the conclusion
of his talk, thank him gracious¬
ly When the program is over,
j shake hands guests with your from speaker, the
Accompany
Help them with their
coats or brief cases and go to
the door with them if they are
leaving. It may sound difficult,
with experience. Since you can¬
not think of two things at once,
keeping your mind on your
speaker and his subject and off
0 f yourself automatically makes
you feel unselfconscious.

(-orrecTION
Dade High School raised
$190.67 in'the recent polio drive,
not the $90.67 as stated in last
week’s article on results of the
county drive.
We are sorry to have made
this error, especially since the
| amount $as the largest ever
raised by any single organiza
tion for the polio drive and also
the largest to be raised by the
school. The students are to be
i commended for their efforts.
DAMAGE AT LAFAYETTE
ESTIMATED AT $750,000
Damage at LaFayette, which
was hit by a tornado last Satur- j
day, Feb. 18 shortly before 2 a.
m, has been estimated at close
t° a half million dollars. The
exact co.t probably will not be
for some time,
The tornado destroyed six res-
idences, a body shop and eight
cars parked inside, a feed mill,
a new drive-in theatre and the
l Fayette High gymnasium,
High winds on the fringe of the
tornado accounted for damage
to countless busine-ses and res-
idences, television a n tennaes,
and telephone lines, the
uprooting of a number of trees,!
the deaths of at least eight
head of cattle, several hogs and
wrecking of barns and farm
homes.
Area newspapers carried many ,
pictures of the havoc caused bV|
tornadic winds which struck in
the North Ga. area. The Red
Cross has been taking applica¬
tions to aid storm victims both
in LaFayette and at Dalton. .
Dade County received part of j
the force of the storm, as re¬
ported in last week’s issue of
the Times, with the most dam¬
age occuring o n Lookout and
Sand Mountains.
DEAR EDITOR:
The people of Slygo would
like a correction on the article
in last week’s paper concerning
the location of the two stills
which stated “Were found in
Slygo Valley.”
The district line between Slygo
and Hooker is between the Tom
Slaughter and Dan Massengales
farms and I understand both
stills were found some V /2 or 2
miles from said line, which would
be in Hooker and not in Slygo.
Signed, Mrs. Edgar Moore.
Stills Nearer Hooker Than Slygo
Sheriff Alison Blevins wishes
to state that the two stills which
he raided and destroyed jast week
as reported to be in Slygo Val¬
ley, were just across the Hooker
line and were actually in Slygo
Valley but in the Hooker Dis¬
trict.
