Dedicated to

its Members, the electric co
operative was organized — is

Recently, the billionth dollar was repaid to REA
against the 3Vfe billion dollars loaned to these local
businesses. Another half-billion dollars has been
paid by the electric co-ops as interest on their
loans. In Georgia this year, ad valorem property
taxes are being assessed against co-op property.
In fact, the electric co-ops pay all taxes required
by law.
With local interest and progress ever in mind,
the Rural Electrics strive constantly to make
their communities a better place in which to live
and work.

INTERVIEWS FOR PIED PIPER
PRE-SCHOOL TO RE JUNE 3
Preparation for the pre
schooler’s entry into elemen
tary school will be the main
purpose of the Pied Piper Pre
school, scheduled to open in
Palmer on Sept. 9. 1963. Pros
pective pupils and their par
ents will be interviewed at St.
Bartholomew’s Church on
Monday, June 3. at 10 a.m.
The pre-school, which will be
under the direction of Ray
Holtz and Mrs. Marion McIn
tyre. will be conducted in St.
Bartholomew's Church and will
be open to youngsters between
the ages of four and six. Class
es will be held from 9 a.m. to
11:30 a.m. five days a week,
with a second class to be ar
ranged for the afternoon hours
if enrollment warrants it. A
registered nurse will be on
duty at all times.
Parents will arrange their
own transportation, Holtz said
but added that if enough par
ents are interested in the Was
illa and Sutton areas, car pool
arrangements may be worked
out.
The school will accustom the
child to working and playing
with other children, Holtz
stated. Art skills, rhythm
band and rhythm activities,
phonics, alphabet, and num
bers will be taught to the
youngsters. Social development
and manners will also be em
phasized, with a refreshment
period planned for each day.
Mr. Holtz holds a master of
arts degree and Mrs. McIntyre
is a registered nurse.
It was emphasized that the
Pied Piper school is not intend
ed to be a baby-sitting service;
that its purpose is to better pre
pare the child for entry into
the first grade.
Aim to tell the truth, and
you’ll seldom miss the target.

Thirteen Alaskan
H Isteins Among
National Leaders
Thirteen registered Holsteins
of the milking string at the Ex
periment Station’s Matanuska
farm have been reported among
the 1962 national leaders in
milk production (all on 305-day
twice-a-day milking), A. H
Mick, Experiment Station di
rector, has announced.
Leaders were selected in
early May by the Holstein
Friesian Association of Ameri
ca after electronically sorting
mere than two million card
records from all over the Unit
ed States.
These Alaskan milk leaders
also included ten butterfat
leaders, ranging from a low of
3.4 to a high of 3.8 per cent.
Milk records ranged from a low
of 12.880 pounds to a high of
19,330 pounds (3.8 per cent
butterfat). Alaska Genlin Clot
hilde, the highest producer,
achieved considerable national
publicity for the University of
Alaska’s Holstein line.
This Alaska dairy line has
grown out of a joint USDA
University research effort dur
ing the past 15 years, designed
to foster greater food produc
tio within the state, Mick said.
