Pond Owners Should
Consider A Drawdown
By TED CLARK
Fall is the time of year
pond owners should consider a
drawdown in lowering of the
water in a pond during the
fall-winter months.
Drawdowns are used to
correct mildly overcrowded
bream populations and to con
trol rooted aquatic vegetation
that has established in
shallow waters areas. Surface
area of a pond should be
reduced by at least one-third
but not more than one-half,
and this level maintained from
November through February

or early March. To be effec
tive, a drawdown should be
used for at least two con
secutive years.
Fall is also the time to
reclaim a pond in which
fishing has been poor or the
population is serverely out of
balance. Rotenone is the
recommended toxicant to
remove all fish from a pond.
It should be applied in the
fall before water temperatures
are below 65 degrees F. Fall
application of rotenone will in
sure the toxicant has
dissipated and all of the un-
wanted fish have been remov
ed before next springs stock
ing.
Owners who are fertilizing
their ponds or considering
such a program next spring
should have lime re
quirements of the water deter
mined every three years.
Since it takes lime about
three months to go into solu
tion, fall is the best time to
test for lime. If lime is re
quired, it should be applied
during the winter months
Winter applications of lime
will insure a successful pond
fertilization program next spr
ing. For more information on
pond fertilization come by the
Chattooga County Extension
Office.
You and Your fIK
Schools
By SUE SPIVEY
Member. Board of Education IV 4
A conversation overheard
at Pennville Elementary
School:
“Who is that woman?"
"Oh! I know her. She’s
that woman with the school
board job.
The following bits and
pieces came while being on the
job.
Sarah Myers is the
librarian at Summerville
Elementary School. She has
graciously shared some tid
bits with me.
“I find that children have a
sincerity and honesty to be ad
mired” she observed. “In fact,
they are part of the joy of
teaching." They sometimes
get their vocabulary mixed
up, producing some in
teresting comments, as
follows:
All third graders know
Mrs. Rosemary McWhorter is
a second grade teacher.
However, they often mispro
nounce her name as McWnor
tOß, rhymning with for.
“One young student
recently returned a recording
of Johnny Appleseed to the
library,” Sarah told me. “I
was interested in her, and how
she liked the library and the
record.”
“OH! I liked the record a
lot,” the young student said.
“Mrs. Chamblee liked it too.
In fact, she is going to check
the record out of the library
next week and put it on the
tape— Me Whortor!"
* ♦ *
Miss Rosemary— as she is
still known to those students
who had her for
kindergarten— is hard work
ing and very much interested
in her children’s learning. She
administers a firm but fair
hand in an effort to persuade
her students to complete their
work in order to have time to
have fun. (First things first).
Imagine her chagrin when she
checked a paper which one
student turned in:
“Mrs. McWhorter is a
good teacher because she sits
quietly at her desk, doing her
own work, and minding her
own business.”
♦ * *
One of the assigned jobs
for second graders is for a stu
dent to monitor the rest
rooms. At the end of the day
recently a 7-year-old, who had
had a stint in the hospital this
summer, reported to Mrs.
Toni Tutton, secretary at
Summerville Elementary
School:
“Oh! I’m so tired. I have
had to run errands for the
teacher today and on top of
that I had to thermometer the
girls’ restroom.”

If your eyes were open this
weekend, you probably notic

home with deer slung over the

you might be one of the lucky
ones bringing home some
venison. I couldn’t help but
recall the story of one elemen-

tary teacher asking her class
to name the four seasons of
the year. One bright young lad
quickly raised his hand and
waved it furiously in the air,
anxious to display his
knowledge.
“I know! I know! Deer
season, dove season, quail
season and rabbit season. ’

Otis Jackson, chairman of
Fulton County School Board,
tells of a young elementary
teacher who faced this crisis
in her classroom. A small
6-year-old appeared, clutching
tightly a disreputable, but
well-loved kitten for “show
and tell.”
“Miz Jones, can you tell if
this is a boy kitten or a girl
kitten?” he asked.
The teacher did not wish to
open that can of worms,” No,”
sne said.
“That’s ok, Mrs. Jones. I
know how,” he confided.
“Want me to tell you how?”
What a delimma! Finally
curiosity won over caution
and Miz Jones asked the boy
to tell her how.
“It’s easy. We can vote on
it.’’
* * ♦
Both parents and teachers
tend to jump to conclusions,
often the wrong ones. Take
the case of a mother whose
9-year-old came home and told
her:
“A boy asked me if I were
a girl or boy today. And when
I told him that of course I was
a girl, he asked me to prove
it.
“What did you do?” asked
the mother, nervously.
“Easy. I showed him my
Girl Scout card.”

If this didn’t really hap
pen, it could have. A CETA
worker, known to be lazy and
a goof-off, had a summer job
cleaning trash off the
highway. Lazy, he might be,
but dumb —never, as this
story shows.
After lunch the boy would
always manage to slip off
somewhere for a nap. One
time he was caught by a fellow
worker who found him sitting
leaning against a tree with his
eyes closed and chin resting
on his chest.
The co-worker, tired of do
ing work for both of them,
hastened back to get the
supervisor to witness the
boy’s sleeping on the job.

Children have away of
growing up. A natural
phenomenon, but it is still sur
prising when you haven't seen
a child for a couple of years.
Also, something nappens the
summer between fourth and
fifth grades. They grow a foot.
I was reminded of a saying
Mother Farrar (Mrs. Janet)
told me she had learned as a
child: “You are bound to get
to heaven if children and
animals like you.”
