READING READINESS
I visited Mrs. .Turner’s 5th grade
last week at Cleveland Elemen¬
tary School. She was spending
some time asking questions and
talking to get the students to want
tq know what was in the story.
This gives them a reason to read
they seemed to enjoy it.
ENVIRONMENT FOR LEARNING
As I went in Mrs. Robinson’s
ciaiss at Cleveland Elementary, it
seemed to me every way 1 looked
there was something to see that
made me want to learn something
more about it. The class told me
about what they had learned this
year and they did a very fine job
reading for me.

GRAND JURY
PRESENTMENTS
WHITE COUNTY SUEPRIOR
COURT
APRIL TERM, 1965
GEORGIA, WHITE COUNTY.
We, the Grand Jurors, em¬
paneled and sworn for this the
April Term, 1965, herewith make
the following Presentments to the
Court:
We recommend that a fence be
erected around the jail windows to
prevent visitors from coming into
contact with prisoners through the
windows and as a safety precau¬
tion.
We recommend that the County
Commissioners seriously consider
selling the old Jail and Depot
property using the proceeds from
said sale to purchase the property
adjacent to the Courthouse where
the gas station and Mt. Yonah
Cafe is located. We believe this
will add to the beauty of the pre¬
sent Courthouse grounds and eli¬
minate the parking problem that
might exist. In the sale of the
Depot property, we recommend
that it be stipulated that the pre¬
sent building on said property be
removed.
We recommend that the present
practice of burning trash and
garbage at the corner of the Court¬
house grounds be immediately dis¬
continued. In the event this prac¬
tice is not stopped, then we urge
the proper authorities to take
necessary steps to require the dis¬
continuance of this eyesore and
nuisance.
We recommend that the mattres¬
ses and other bed clothing in the
old Jail be immediately removed
from the building and burned.
We recommend that the equip¬
ment remaining in the old Court¬
house if it is not to be used in
the new Courthouse that it be
cleaned and stored to be sold at
the proper time.
We recommend that all old auto¬
mobile parts now at the old Jail be
stored within the building or that
they be removed to the county
shop area and be stored in an
orderly fashion,
We recommend that the Grand
Jury Room be permanently
equipped with furnishings in keep¬
ing with other offices in the Court¬
house,
| As recommended by the October
Grand Jury, this Body recommends
that the old Courthouse be re¬
moved.
We recommend that the officers
of the Game and Fish Department
and all other law enforcement
agencies rigidly enforce the law
We recommend that all law en
prohibiting hunting on Sunday,
forcement agencies rigidly check
and inspect any and all private
clubs that may now or at any
time exist in our county. We re¬
commend that all clubs or other
parties violating the gambling and
liquor laws in our county be appre¬
hended and vigorously prosecu
ted.
Numerous cases have been
brought to the attention of this
Grand Jury which arose at the
home of Shirley Barton. We recom¬
mend that all law enforcement
agencies keep a constant vigilance
and lookout on the home of Shirley
Barton and that all parties violat¬
ing the laws of this state on said
premises be arrested and vigorous-
