It’s springtime all winter long withINTERTHERM hot water heat without plumbing

When I say springtime, by Sidney J. Heiman,I really mean it. chairmanof the board

The problem is that most Intertherm Inc., St. Louis, Mo.of us are so used to ordi-nary heat that we can’tenvision what it would be like tolive in a home where the air stays fresh all year long.

For example, Intertherm hot water electric heat oper-ates at a very low operating temperature. As a result,lint and dust in the air of your home aren’t scorchedand transformed into carbon cinders, as happens withother forms of heating.

These are the cinders that dirty your draperies, thatsmudge your walls, that cause your furniture to turngray . . . and they cause a dryness in nasal passages,particularly irritating to allergy sufferers.

I have a large family, and I’ve been insisting forthree years now, that everyone install this heatingsystem. They used to think I was a little eccentric, butnow they’ve had it for a while, I’ve been tre3ted withunaccustomed respect.Not only because of the freshness of the air, but

because of the remarkable comfort we achieve withthis heat. Absolutely no cold floors, and no colddrafts.. The floor is almost as warm as the ceiling. And

there is an even heat at all times, since the circulatingwater continues to emit heat even when the thermostatcuts the units off.

There’s economy, too. Intertherm in most areas is nomore costly to operate than oil, and is only slightlyabove gas. That’s because the hermetically sealed-inwater in the self-contained baseboards changes itstemperature according to outside weather. So on rail0days, the water isn’t as warm as on cold days, and nomore heat is given off than is necessary.Then of course there is safety. A child can stuff

gauze, tissue, the filmiest material into these base-boards without the slightest danger.

So please tell your electric contractor you would likethis heat installed for your home . . . or even a singlecold room to start.

I can assure you after 50 years in the heating businessthat this is the finest heating system in the world,today.Mail this cou.pon for full details.

MOTLOW COLLEGE:A Community

Answer To A State ProblemBy SUSAN LORANCE

The President of Motlow State Community College, Dr. Sam 14. Ingram, providesinformation on the 1-year-old college which he heads to Miss Susan Lorance,quthor of this story.

(Editor’s Note: The author of thisstory is Miss Susan Lorance, asenior in journalism at the Uni-versity of Tennessee, Knoxville. Weare most grateful to Susan, anattractive, refreshing and talentedyoung lady, for providing us withthis enlightening story. She is thedaughter of Duck River EMC Utili-zation Supervisor, Morgan andMrs. Lorance of Shelbyville.)

Middle Tennessee has been de-scribed as the land of the fast-disappearing small communities.What better way to preserve theselast strongholds of identity anddignity, than with a community col-lege? And right down in the middleof seven community-laden countiescan be found Motlow State Com-munity College. On a beautiful,wooded 187 acres, the campus islocated about seven miles north-east of Lynchburg, county seat ofMoore County, at the intersectionof the old Lynchburg-TullahomaHighway, old Tullahoma-Shelby-ville Highway, and onlythree milesfrom Tullahoma.

Its serenity immediately reachesout to surround the first-time vis-

itor with a calm and quiet ~at onceboth reassuring and restful. Thewarmth of neighborly friendlinessextends from its personable presi-dent, Dr. Sam H. Ingram, to thestarting student, making even thedreariest day a Sunny one. Itsmodern, up-to-date facilities setin such a rustic setting make anirresistible combination, one thatmany are already taking advan-tage of and others are soon tobecome captured by.

The future at Motlow Collegelooks bright indeed. And why not?According to Dr. Ingram, thecollege was developed (1) to servethose who wish to transfer andcomplete a four-year college educa-tion; (2) to serve those who wishto complete their formal educationupon graduation from Motlow StateCommunity College; and (3) toserve the community through anadult program based on commun-ity needs and demands.

’eWe want to accommodate thosein our area; going to the peopleand seeing what they need," Dr.Ingram said.

By planning for three separateand distinct types of educational

programs, the opportunity to reacha maximum of interested and pros:pective students is possible. Andthat is the whole purpose of corn -munity colleges. When selectingsite for Motlow College, sever~factors were considered. Amonthese were the potential numbe,of students to be found in the area,the need for occupationalprogress,the proximity of other higher edu-cation facilities, and enough localinterest to support the college.

Seven counties (Bedford, Coffee,Franklin, Grundy, Lincoln, Mar-shall, and Moore) joined in theplanning for Motlow State Com-munity College. Having deter-mined the site should be centrallylocated, the planners gratefullyaccepted in June 1967 the gift ofland from Sen. Reagor Motlow andother members of Moore County’sMotlow family, and constructionwas started soon afterwards. Mot-low College’s electric service isprovided by Duck River ElectricMembership Corporation, the elec-tric cooperative that serves alargeportion of the area from which thecollege draws its students.

Within the participating seven-county area is centered approxi-mately 133,000 people. The fac*that most of the people have bee~involved in farming is changing amore and more industries mo~into the South. Also, within a 15mile range are three large metr~politan areas -- Nashville, Chatta-nooga, and Huntsville, Ala. Thesefactors influenced the location ofMotlow College, indicating thegrowing need for such an institu-tion in the area.

With its first year of operationnow ended, most would agree that

Motlow College classrooms are large,well lighted and equipped. This is a smap

summer-school class. Electric service t.the college is provided by Duck Riv,Electric Membership Corporation, Shelbville.

it has indeed been a successfulone. For the fall, winter, andspring quarters, over 500 studentswere enrolled in the school’s pro-grams, with night time classesinvolving a good percentage of thatnumber. Though most students arerecent high school graduates, thisis by no means all who axe enrolledat the school. According to Dr.Ingram, students range in age from~7 to 80. Many parents, who neverad the chance to go to college’efore are taking advantage of theipportunity now open to them. Andais fall, school officials are looking

¯ or close to 1,000 students toregister there. Soui]d exciting?Well, it is; just as exciting as thecourses available to the students.

For those students just begin-ning their four years work, a widevariety of choices are. available--ranging from business edudationto engineering and law. For thosestill undecided about their future,a general program is offered, intro-ducing the student to the basicsof math, science, history; andE.nglish -- all needed for comple-tion of higher levels of study. Allthese and more are offered foreither credit or non-credit. For thecreative and talented, or those whowish they were, there is also in-struction in art and music.

Within the two-year technicalprogram can be found instructionin business and electronics, as wellas two separate approaches to thecomputer field. These courses arequite popular to those who want to":eep up with the latest advancesh their ever-changing fields, com-,g back to class to learn about~e newest techniques and equip-~ent.

How could anyone fail to learnin the atmosphere created at Mot-low College? Housed in five mod-ern, and attractive buildings, thestudents and faculty alike areencouraged to do their best.

The Administration Building isthe first to catch the visitor’s eyeon reaching the campus. Housingthe Offices of Motlow’s president,Dr. Ingram, as well as its businessoffices~ it appears immediately in-viting to any passer-by. Thisfeeling of friendliness extends intothe student center where many astudent can be found spending allhis leisure moments.

open during the regular schoolyear for lunch. A bookstore withboth assigned textbooks and otherclass essentials, such as notebooksand pencils, handles the student’severy need. It even carries aspirinfor those trying exam days!

The library is not far away. Car-peted to cut down on noise, indi-vidual study desks are scatteredthroughout the bookshelves to fur-ther enhance studying. Under thesame roof, but in a separate wing,can be found the classrooms. Look-ing in on a typical class, one mightsee a professor lecturing to hisstudents. Down the hall and aroundthe corner are the faculty offices,clo.se-by for easy access by stu-dents with a problem or just want-ing to -talk. In the fourth and finalwing of the classroom building canbe found the technical wing. Herethe complex and expensive equip-ment needed to keep today’s com-plex society going are studied andused for study.Down a paved walk is the

physical education building. Thisbeautiful gym which seats 2500has served as the home court forthe Motlaw College basketball

team, actively supported by thelocal residents. In addition tobasketball, baseball is also avail-able as well as a full program ofintramural sports for the men andwomen. All buildings on the campusare air conditioned exceptthe gym.

Though the beautiful buildingsat Motlow are an added asset tothe learning process, they are onlyas effective as the people who workin them. The staff, in addition toDr. Ingram, includes: Mr. GeneBoyd, business manager; Dr. JoeJohnson, dean of students Dr. DonEngland, dean of instruction; Mrs.~lesse Warren, director of ad-missions and records; as well asa head librarian, guidance coun-sellors, a nurse, and a host ofinstructors all dedicated to theeducation process.

The education process is the es-sential part of a community collegedesigned to serve the communityin which it is located. When thestate first conceived the idea ofcommunity colleghs (an idea origi-nating in California), it aimed itsprograms to serve the communi-ties, planning for students to becommuters. The reasoning behindthis was .that by-living at homeand driving to school, the price offurther education would be greatlylessened, making it in easy ~eachof more people.

The tuition at Motlow College is$55 a quarter. The possibility ofsome of this cost being reduced is(Continued on Page 15)

Motlow State Community College hasmore plus values than just teaching col-lege age and adult residents in its seven-county service area. Its Summer YouthProgram provides a variety of supervisedactivities for all youngsters in the areawho wish to participate from 1 p.m. to5 p.m. each weekday during the summermonths. More than 300 did so duringthis past summer. Most of the activitiesare held in the large college gymnasium,which, as seen at left in picture, alsohouses the stage for convocations andplays.

Good Lighting A Key ToLighten Desk Work

By Robbye Nowell, Home EconomistGibson County E.M.C.

It’s again the season of schooland scholars now that summer hasalmost passed.

First we’ll see the yellow busesthat gather in the harvest of chil-dren and deposit them in the store-house of learning. For all thesescholars, there will bevarious emo-tional feelings -- there will besmiles through tears for those newto formal learning; confident clam-or for those who have become adeptto the wise workings of classroomprocedures as they leave theirpreviously occupied room for ano-ther; a bubbling mixture of friend-liness and contrariness for juniorhigh scholars. While high schoolscholars would have you thinktheyare steeped in indifference, theyare much wiser and more depend-able that they are given credit for.

Now that school bells are ringing,children will be getting back in thehabit of doing their homework. Toooften parents give little or nothought to the home study center.They permit Jane or Johnny to dotheir homework in just any placewith any kind of light. This should

not be, since studying is one of thehardest jobs the eyes have to do.Students often spend from one tofive hours daily doing homework.It has been proven that good studyhabits open the door to progressand good lighting is one key whichhelps establish good study habits.

The home study center should bea convenient place with adequatelight and working space where thechild can sit down to do his work.

A few basis suggestions perhapswill help in developing a well-lighted study center for your child.His own bedroom is an ideal placebecause it is quiet. Select a flat-top desk or table with a work sur-face of about 24x36 inches. Itshould be placed against a light-colored wall which will increasethe amount of light on the desk.

If the walls are dark or brightlypatterned, a light-toned bulletinboard or peg board hung abovethe desk will help reflect the light.The surface of the desk should belight-colored and non-glossy. Toaccomplish this, it is often neces-sary to cover the desk with a light-colored blotter.

One of the main objectives inlighting the desk is to get the right

light in the right place.makers are aware of guidepostsin planning menus and selectingpersonal accessories. The sameshould exist for good study lighting.

Lamps for studying which willprovide a good quality of lightneed not be expensive. They must,however, provide a high level ofwell-diffused light over the entirestudy area.

The height of the lamp is of ut-most importance. The lower edgeof the shade should be about eyelevel. This will mean about 15 in-ches above the desk top. The shadeshould be white or near white onboth the inside and outside to effec-tively reflect the light over thework surface. It should also beopen at the top to provide upwardlighting which will help preventsharp differences between thelight-ing on the desk and its surround-ings. The shade should be widerat the bottom than the top for bestlight distribution. Therefore, bulle÷lights and gooseneck lamps whicl~cause harsh, reflected glare an~which do not provide the upwardlight are not to be used for study-ing. The lamp needs tobe equippedwith a diffusing bowl under the

Electricity lights the way to lighter desk work and bright scholars. Mary Gay Orr, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Orr of Route 1,Dyer, Tennessee, prior to posing for these pictures had not experienced difficulty in studying where there had been inadequatelight. She certainly would not agree with people who say ~’Oh! for the good ole days" when it comes to light from lamps suckas the kerosene one. Homework is much easier with complete seeing comfort obtained from lamps which provide a high leve’of well-diffused light over the study area.

An ideal study center was planned for Tom Orr by his parents,Mr. and Mrs. David Orr. The center is located in his bedroomwhere it is quiet and lighted with 40 watt fluorescent tubesconcealed behind shelves. The bottom edge of the she~f shouldbe about 15 inches above the desk top.

This intensity lamp does not meet a single requirement forcomfortable glare-free light. Notice the bright spot on the deskand the glare in Tom Orr’s eyes as he attempts to do hishomework.

shade or a plastic diffusing diskacross the bottom of the shadeto help soften shadows and reduceglossy reflections in handwrittenand printed materials.

To get dnough light, lamps re-quire bulbs of a specific wattage ifthey are to properly light the study:enter. In a table lamp or one wailamp, a minimum 150 to 200 watt~ulb is recommended, while a pair~f wall lamps need 100 watts peramp. A 150 to 300 watt bulb is

needed in the floor lamp. If a floorlamp is to be used in the studyarea, the swing arm type is pre-ferred as it can remain at the sideof the desk while the shade ismoved to the desired position.

Consideration must be given tothe placement of the lamp in orderto get the light where it should be.Place table lamps so the center ofthe shade will be 15 inches to theside of the desk opposite the writ-ing hand and 12 inches back fromthe front edge of the desk. That is,for a right-handed person, locate

the lamp to the left and for a left-handed person, locate the lamp tothe right. Floor lamps should be15 inches to the left or right ofthe work center and 10 inches fromthe front edge. A pair of walllampsis preferred over one since lightdistribution is better. The centerof the shades are to be 30 inchesapart, 15 inches from the top ofthe desk to the lower edge of theshade, and 6 to 12 inches from thefront edge of the desk. When usinga single wall lamp, hang it in thecenter of the desk and 15 inchesabove the work area.

Another thing to be consideredafter the lamp, shade, and bulbhave been chosen and the lamphas been properly placed, is tokeep the lamp clean. Dust and dirtare thieves where light is con-cerned, often absorbing as muchas 40 per cent. Therefore theshades, reflecting bowls, bulbs, andtubes should be dusted regularly.Glass and plastic diffusers or re-flectors should be washed often to

remove the film of dirt that ac-cumulates on them even in thecleanest household.

Now is the time for parents withscholars to begin helping their chil-dren with their homework, not bydoing the work for them, but byproviding them with a convenienthome study center that is ade-quately lighted.

Group drainage ditch crosses the farms of L. C. Goodman and Bobby Phipps. Thisditch, constructed in September of 1968, drains 190 acres of wet land on the threefarms.

By LEE GRAHAM~ ConservationistSoil Cons~’v&Iion Service

The rural mail carrier’s car haddrowned out several times, trafficwas often stopped, and approxi-mately 100 acres in the PelhamValley section of Grundy Countywere not making enough to paythe taxes.

The problem -- too much waterfor the ditches on the rural roadand no way to remove damagingexcess water from the surroundingland.

At a Grundy Soil ConservationDistrict Supervisor’s meeting theproblem was discussed by therural mail carrier, L. H. Burnett,who is also an SCD supervisor,and landowners Bobby Phippsand L. C. Goodman. A prelimi-nary survey by SCS was recom-mended by the supervisors.

The survey showed that the bestsolution to the problem of theflooded road and adjoining landswas to build a ha[f-mile long ditch

begi.nning on Goodman’s farm,crogsing two country roads, twoadjoining farms, and emptyinginto Bostick Creek.

The Grundy County superinten-dent of roads, Dolph Hargis, wasconsulted. Being vitally interestedin reducing the road flooding, heagreed to furnish new culvertslarge enough to carry the waterunder the roads and to assist inditch construction.

The SCS surveyed and designedthe job. A contractor was hired,new and larger culverts were in-stalled by the road department,and the job was done. Residentsof Pelham Valley can now driveover the road dry-shod, and th~former problem land is contributin~to farm earnings.

"That cooperative ditch was onof the best things that ever hap-pened to that section of thecounty," Burnett asserts.

Ditch is shown after a 21,~-inch rain in less than 12 hours.

Budget

Stretch i ng

Ideas

Rising food costs concern every-one, and the budget is often exam-ined for possible savings. Whilekeeping a sharp eye on the budget,it’s essential also to serve tasty,nutritious and attractive meals. It’swise to always shop with nutritionin mind. Here you’ll find some tipsfor saving.

Advance planning can mean thedifference between costly and eco-nomical meals. Plan menus for aweek at a time, and shop forstaples no more than once a week.

Newspaper food ads give infor-mation on sales that can mean sav-ings and ideas for menus. But, ifyour family won’t eat it, it isn’t abargain.

Make out a complete shoppinglist, but be flexible. Substitute ifyou find a better buy at the store.

Become familiar with brandnames so you can recognize pricechanges. A price decrease may sug-gest a quantity purchase if youhave sufficient storage space.

Compare costs of different formsof foods (fresh, canned, frozen,dried,) To determine the best buy,divide the price by the number of

servings. The lower price per serv-ing is the thriftiest choice.

When buying meats, cost perserving, not cost per pound is thebest measure of value.

Improper storage and discardedleftovers are a prime cause ofwaste. Store food promptly andproperly when you return fromshopping.

Smart Mothers know anElectric Water Heater Costs so Little

An Electric Water Heater is one of today’s biggest bar-gains in better living. For only pennies a day, you canhave all the hot water you need.., when you need it!

You save three ways when you install an ElectricWater Heater. First, no venting is required becauseit’s flameless. This means you can install your ElectricWater Heater almost anywhere . . . in the base-ment, under stairs, bathroom or kitchen. This cutsinstallation costs because less materials and labor areneeded. Finally, you save every day, thanks to low-costrural electric power.

You’ll also save time and effort when there’s plentyof hot water as close as the nearest tap. An ElectricWater Heater makes so many household chores easierand quicker!

DOUGH TO DENT STAGE BEST FORCORN SILAGE

Cut corn silage in the dough to dent stage for highest milkand beef production.

This is the advice of Joe D. Burns, University of TennesseeExtension associate agronomist. Dairy cows will eat largeamounts of silage when it is well preserved. Also, beef steersand heifers which are being fattened will make fast gains.

"Corn silage packs tighter and preserves easier when thegrain is in this dough to dent stage," he says. "If the corn iscut before the dough stage, there will be losses from seepageof juices in upright silos. There will usually be less seepageloss from trenches or bunker silos, but the high moisture con-tent will promote higher fermentation losses. A 60 to 70 per-cent moisture content is desirable, and this usually occurs whenthe corn is in the dough to dent stage."

Dry corn, below 60 percent moisture, cut for silage is muchmore difficult to pack and preserve. The silage usually moldsin the silo, and cattle will not eat molded silage as well asmold-free silage. Fermentation losses are high when dry silageheats due to poor packing.

ALFALFA IS QUEEN OF FORAGE CROPSMany Tennessee dairy and beef farmers are planning to

seed alfalfa this fall, notes JQe D. Burns, University of Tennes-see Extension associate agronomist. They realize the advantageof having a high quality, high protein hay.

Alfalfa makes the ideal match with corn silage for dairyproduction, and it will take the place of the protein supplementin keeping brood cows in good condition this winter.

~’Now is the time to start seeding alfalfa," Burns stresses."You can seed up to September 15th. Use about 20 poundsof inoculated seed per acre, and seed in a moist seedbed.A dry, hot, dusty seedbed will usually kill the inoculum, andthe alfalfa will turn yellow in the spring. Lime and fertilizeby soil test recommendations. It still isn’t too late to get yoursoil tested."

Burns says the recommended varieties are: Buffalo, Atlantic,Narragansett, Williamsburg, Cody and Vernal. These varietieshave very low tolerance to the alfalfa weevil.

Some new varieties are showing some weevil tolerance, buthaven’t been tested long enough to be generally recom-mended. You can control the alfalfa weevil with a timelyspray schedule, so don’t let the weevil keep you from pro-ducing the queen of the forage crops.

FILL SILOS FASTNearly every farmer who has had a day or two delay while

filling silos can remember the dark ring or layer of silagecaused by the spoilage of the silage during the delay.

Recent research has shown that the rate of spoilage duringdelay periods is higher than first suspected, relates Joe D.Burns, University of Tennessee Extension associate agronomist.Where silos were filled at a rate of only five feet per day,the spoilage was about one percent more per day than whenthe silo was filled in one day.

Smaller silos which can be filled faster will have lowerlosses than large silos which are filled more slowly, he adds.

For example, two 250-ton silos could be filled in four da~,each, while one 500-ton silo would require eight days fcfilling~ You could expect about 40 tons spoilage in the largesilo and about 10 tons in each of the small ones for a totalof 20 tons. The difference of 20 tons of silage valued at $8per ton would mean $160 more loss from the larger silo dueto slower filling.

Your motto at silo filling time should be, ~’Fill them fastand seal them tight."

USE LADDER CORRECTLYA good ladder is a good investment, advises Houston Lut-

trell, agricultural engineer with the University of TennesseeAgricultural Extension Service.

"Don’t economize with a shaky one," he says. "Check yoursfor cracks or loose rungs. Always use one long enough so youcan stay off the top two rungs and still do your work. Makesure the base is level and solid."

Climb with both hands holding the rungs, the engineer adds.Hoist tools and materials up by a hand line, and don’t forgetto clean your shoes before climbing. Avoid using metal laddersnear electric wires.

Don’t try to reach too far, he concludes. Move the laddermore often. You’ll save time-- maybe a lifetime.

CONSIDER CARRYING LIGHTWEIGHTBEEF CALVES

Can you really afford to sell calves at less than 500 to 6("pounds?

Calves don’t just have to be sold in the fall, reminds W. ~Tyrrell, University of Tennessee Extension animal husbandman.One of the most challenging opportunities facing the cattlementoday in Tennessee is the possibility of carry-over of late,lightweight calves to a 1971 market.

The rapid gains put on so effici.ently by the young growingcalf between 350 and 700 pounds could mean more beef tosell per cow kept, he says. Even more important, it shouldmean added profits. Calves this size require 35 to 45 percentof the feed required for final feedlot gains.

In many Tennessee cow herds there are fall and winterpastures of grass and ladino clover which can provide beefgains for a usually strong and competitive spring stocker orfeeder market, Tyrrell explains. Early-sown small grain pasturesalso provide excellent feed for growing calves in the late fallor winter without the worry of trampling if utilized by the cowherd.

A four-year summary of winter grazing at the U-T HighlandRim Experiment Station revealed that 500-pound, thin calvesgained about 1.3 pounds per day. Steers on fescue and ladinoconsumed about 6 to 7 pounds of hay per day while orchardgrass and ladino clover-grazing calves ate 10 pounds of hayeach day. Similarly, thin steer calves can be wintered on cornsilage to fit the spring feeder markets at weights in the 650to 700-pound bracket.

If labor is available, feeding 4 to 5 pounds of grain conce!trate plus grazing with an addition of limited hay in bcweather to 275 to 350-pound calves can provide extra incomfor cattlemen who want to sell feeders in the spring mark~

Co-op Hosts An Unusual Lo dBy Sam Gamble, Electrification Advisor

Middle Tennessee Electric Membership Corp.

Preparation is being made here for theWally Byam Caravan Club members toget together for a potluck supper at theircampground in Wilson County.

Middle Tennessee Electric wasrecently host to an unusual elec-trical load in the Martha area ofWilson County. Orba Maxey,Middle Tennessee distributor forAirstream Travel Trailers, had ashis guests fifty-three AirstreamTrailer families, all members of

.-~he Wally Byam Caravan Club.laxey hosted the rally, providing,e electrical needs, the water, the.mpsite, and one night a barbe-¯ e supper for the four-day event.This club, named after the found-

er of Airstream Travel Trailers,has more than 200 members inTennessee, more than 25,000 mem-bers nationally, and thousandsmore internationally. Membershipis exclusive to Airstream trailerowners and their families.

Practically all the Airstreamtrailers present at the rally atMaxey’s farm were completelyequipped with cooking equipment,air conditioning, and all. the othernecessity and luxury devices thathelp to make camping one of thenations fastest growing recrea-tional pastimes.

The Wally Byam Caravan Clubtravels in groups al! over, not onlythe United States, but. the world.The co-operation and comraderieof the group as they travel andcamp together is amazing. Theyall pitch in and help each otherto set up the trailers, make cornnection to the water and electricity,and make the other necessaryarrangements for camping. Manyof the meals are pot luck affairs,each family providing food, and alleating together.

It is obvious to a visitor that thisis a closely-knit group of peoplewho enjoy tremendously the pleas-ures of being together, and seeingthe world from a.close-to-natureaspect. If they decide to travel ina foreign country, they simply loadtheir trailers on board a ship, andwhen they reach their destination,they go as a caravan. To thesepeople, many of whom are retired,there is no better or more excitingway ~o travel than in an AirstreamTravel Trailer as a member of theWally Byam Caravan Club.

Orba Maxey, left, host of the camp, andEd Taylor, operating superintendent forMiddle Tennessee Electric, discuss theelectrical needs of the Wally Byam Cara-van Club at their rally in Wilson County.

(Continued from Page 7)increased because Motlow providesfinancial aid in the forms of scholar-ships, loans, and work-study pro-grams. Included in the thinkingof the planners were several otherfactors, one being that some peoplejust do not have the potential tocomplete four years of collegetraining. In conjunction with thiswas the fact that some studentsare late-bloomers, that two moreyears at home would give theneeded time for additional maturitybefore leaving home to completetheir studies. On top of this wasthe fact that more and more adultssee the need for and, as a result,desire more professional instruc-tion today than ever before. Aneed existed that was soon to befulfilled. There are now six statecommunity colleges in operationin Tennessee with three othersplanned. The nearest such institu-tions to Motlow College areloeatedat Cleveland on theeastand Columbia on the west.

Probably one of the best exam-ples of the school being of serviceto the local area can be found inthe college’s summer youth pro-gram. Open to the whole seven-county area, the program provides.supervised activities for youngpeople from 1 to 5 p.m. Universitystudents were used to direct thegames and supervise the children.Motlow College had 315participateand excellent facilities and equip-ment for them to use.

As more people recognize thewealth of opportunities availableat Motlow College and take advan-tage of them, the better the collegewill be able to serve these people.Already plans for the future arebeing considered. By another year,says Dr. Ingram, the need for morefunds to construct more classroomspace is foreseen. As the interestin varied subject matter becomesmore significant, a greater rangeof subjects will be offered.

Motlow State Community Collegeis a community college in everysense of the word!

Ballad of two farmers(Reprinted from

American Agriculturist, April 1969)

This is the ballad of Jones andMcGee.

Both knew their farming fromAtoZ.

But each of them faced the chal-lenge of time

in different ways, as told in thisrhyme.

In the year nineteen hundred andsixty-nine

Their cows were many, theirprofits were fine:

In the pictures above we can seethe homes,

The barns and the fields of McGeeand Jones.

The corn grew so tall and the airwas so free.

On the broad, good farms of Jonesand McGee.

But in nineteen hundred and sev-enty-two

They saw urban sprawl approach-ing their view:

Now each had his way to battlethe dread

Of mushrooming cities and sub-urban spread.

Farmer McGee said, ’~Let comewhat may!"

A fierce independence was thisfarmer’s way.

When men from the city knockedat his gate

To purchase some fields for acountry estate,

By golly, McGee was a hastyreactor;

He sold the fields and bought anew tractor.

But when the same types ap-proached farmer Jones,

Asking to purchase his cornfieldsfor homes,

He answered, "No, thank you,I’ll keep my ground."

Then off he marched to see othersin town.

He called upon farmers, he sawthe.town board,

He suggested town planning, theywere in accord:

The town must be planned beforeit starts growing,

Just as fields must be plowedbefore the sowing.

McGee’s independence, in sev-enty-six,

Appears to have gotten his farmin a fix:

Farmer McGee has sold much ofhis tract,

Keeping the barn and some acresin back.

He used the spare cash to repairthe old barn,

But the sales may have doneless good than harm.

With all of the homes that hadrisen nearby

His property taxes had soaredto the sky.

And this is, alas, what forced himto sell

The best of his pasture and corn-fields as well.

To service the homes that werenow in the town .

Sewer and water lines were laidall around.

Adding insult to injury, McGeehad to bear

A share of the cost of his unwel-come fare.

The neighbors at times to McGeewere polite,

Ignoring his farm and its odorsand sight.

But when the warm May brought~barnsmell" their way,

They talked and they squawkedfor day after day.

Since many small farms had goneinto the red,

What was to come of this shrink-ing farmstead?

McGee gritted his teeth, he stiff-ened his lip,

And prepared himself to go downwith the ship.

But good farmer Jones was stillmaking hay,

And another big season was onits way.

No squeeze in taxes did thisfarmer feel.

His town had made plans againstsuch a deal.

In the year nineteen eighty thisballad ends.

Let’s see what’s become of outfarming friends:

Farmer McGee has stopped work-ing his farm,

His fields left to weeds, to ratshis barn.

With all of the houses built upon the street,

To parcel the inside will be quitea feat.

And smart farmer Jones, what’sthis fellow done?

Sold all of his land, for the righttime had come.

Every last bit of it, hook, lineand sinker,

To a subdivider, a dollar-bilthinker.

Now for a question: Of Jones anMcGee,

Who of these two would yourather be?

The answer depends on your out-look and ways,

But here are some points thatmust be raised:

The farm of Jones, unlike thatof McGee,

Produced ’till its sale to capac-ity.

Because his town’s growth wasplanned so well,

Jones knew when to farm andwhen to sell.

No neighbors to nag him, lowtaxes too,

He was free to d~vote his atten-tion to Moo.

And when he sold out, the pricewas iust grand

On his fields, his pasture . . .on all of his land.

Last our thoughts turn to Farm-er McGee,

Whose heroics will go down iThistory.

Alone this great farmer foughagainst sprawl,

But the odds were enough tmake him crawl.

In fact you can bank in that,for the business in question is theJackson County Bank in Gaines-boro.The Jackson County Bank,

founded in 1916 as the .Bank ofWhitleyville, serves all of JacksonCounty and, at least in part, somesurrounding counties. It maintainsbranches at Whitleyville to thenorth, and at Granville, to thesouth~vest. All of this area isbasically rural and is located inthe foothills of the Upper Cumber-land region.

President of the Jackson County Bank is Paul Birdwell, a veteran of 36 years inbanking. Birdwell also is vice president of Upper Cumberland Electric MembershipCorporation, which electrically serves Jackson County and other Upper Cumberlandareas.

Although the Jackson CountyBank is not a huge financial opera-tion by large city standards, itsalmost $10-million in assets en-ables it to cope with most of themoney problems which it is askedto serve. Just as important, thebank has a deep sense of civicinterest, pride and responsibilityfor the area which it serves so well.
