Rabun Beats Warriors
By Score of 7-6
In Last-Ditch Flay
By Ricnarii Davidson
The Warriors prayed a great
game, but rost rrruay night, the
rast or tne Or xoutoan season. The
warriors oeat rvaouir county every
wnere excepi me score, and would
nave done tnat ii Raoun had not
made a good run rrom tne zO yarn
tine.
The Warriors match Raburn bow
ror how. it was a rat hard-hitting
rootbaii game. There were eight
seniors playing their last football
game at W CHS and they really
played a greait one. The Warriors
scored late in the fourth quarter
on a one-yaru run by Kenneth Nix.
Tne extra point attempt failed ana
tne Warriors lead 6-9 — a lead
wnich was to be taken away from
.hem in the last 43 seconds ot
tne game.
The terrible second came late in
the fourth quarter ... the War¬
riors had the ball deep in their
own territory. They were forced
to kick and did. Rabun returned
Hite punt to the Warrior’s 35 yard
line; they moved down to the 20
yard line, and with 45 seconds to
go the right half-back took 20 yards
around the end for the touchdown.
The game was tied; Rabun tried
for the extra point and made it;
so with 43 seconds to go on the
scoreboard clock the Warriors
were behind 7-6. This was to be the
final score.
The Warriors finished the season
with a 4-6 record.
Basketball season begins Nov. 19
with Woody Gap — the game is
here.
Agriculture Census
Planned for White Co.
Plans for taking the 1964
of Agriculture in White
were announced today by
Young, newly-appointed
crew leader for the county.
The job will be done in
stages, the crew leader said.
will come recruitment and
of enumerators to count all
in the county. About one
tor for each 150 farms will
needed.
Shortly after November 19,
Bureau of the Census, an
of the U.S. Dept, of
will sitart the second stage by
ing each agricultural census
tionnaires to all rural
in the county. This will give
and ranch operators, who are
quired by law to fill out the
a period of time to consult
records and fill in answers ito
questions.
In the (final stage,
will visit each farm in the
to collect the questionnaires.
the itime of this visit, the enumer¬
ators will help farmers complete
answers to any questions the farm¬
ers may have had difficulty with.
Enumerator visits are scheduled
to begin in this county on Novem¬
ber 23. Enumerators will take about
three weeks to complete their
work, the crew leader estimates.
The Census of Agriculture is
taken every five years in the years
ending in ”4” and “9” to gather
up to date information on the
nation’s agricultural resources and
production. Such information is
vital in making decisions affecting
many segments of the U.S. econo¬
my. Data gathered include the
number and size of farms, acreage
and harvest of crops, livestock in¬
ventory, information on farm
equipment, facilities, farm products
; sold, and use of fertilizers, insecti¬
cides and herbicides.

Mrs- Telford Is Praised For
Stand On Oid Court House
DEAR NELL:
I was so proud to read in the
Atlanta paper this morning of the
stand' you are taking in trying to
preserve the lovely old courthouse
in Cleveland. If they wanted to
tear down the one in Washington
County, which is a Victorian mon¬
strosity, I wouldn’t turn a hand,
but that building has such beauti¬
ful lines and adds so much dis¬
tinction to Cleveland. Even if you
just have ito close it up and plant
ivy around it, please do so, but
if they decide to raise the $10,000
it will take to restore it, please
let me know, because I want to
make a small contribution in mem¬
ory of John’s father.
It was so good to see you and
Jim that night. I hope to see you
all and 1 think you are both look¬
ing exceptionally well.
Lots of love tot Joe, and re¬
member me to Janie and Willis
when you write to them.
M. W. KIMSEY.
P.S.: I was proud of White and
Habersham Counties going for
Johnson. I am so ashamed of
Georgia being one of those five
non-Democratic states — If the
Georgians had to go Republican,
why did they have to pick this
time?
M. W. K.
I,DEAR MRS. TELFORD:
| Your lovely, old courthouse is
none of my business; and yet it is.
Because I love Georgia so much,
I am concerned over the destruc¬
tion of so much of our heritage.
The classic dignity of this structure
can never be replaced. I wish you
luck in your efforts to keep this
building for the generations to
come.
Very Sincerely,
HAPPY G. KIRKPATRICK

Landrum Pleased With
9th District Vote
H Ninth District said Congressman today that Phil his
Landrum
election victory was an “endorse¬
ment of his record” and that he
is “very grateful to the people
for allowing me to serve them
again. >>
Landrum, who now becomes
‘Tlean” otf Georgia’s delegation in
the U. S. House of Representatives
said he was disappointed that the
state didn’t go for President John¬
son but that he is “pleased that
the Ninth District did.”
The veteran lawmaker predic¬
ted that President Johnson will be
come ‘one of the greatest Presi
dents of all time” and said he is
C< a reasonable man whom I believe
will bear no grudge toward Geor
gia. 1 }
Landrum based his campaign
almost entirely on his 12 year
record. He hammered away at thei
Ninth District’s growth and the
progress it has made in soil and
water conservation, tourism, edu¬
cation and area redevelopment.
He said, “The Ninth District
cannot fail. It is situated in the
most beautiful part of the world,
has an abundance of water and
natural resources, a good climate,
and most important is inhbited by
hard-working determined citizens
who possess a genuine faith in the
future.
Landrum said he and his family
are going to take a few days rest
land “hunt some sunshine and go
fishing.” He added, “Then I am
going to come back and continue
to serve the people like I have
always done. »»
