From the Oct. 27, 1971 edition of The Forest-Blade:
PRACTICING FOR SATURDAY NIGHT
Saturday night will be observed as “trick or treat” night by scores of youngsters here and across the nation. Jim Harrell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Billy Harrell, and Misty Johnson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Billy Johnson, all of Swainsboro, donned their Halloween costumes and posed before the specially decorated door. Actually, the door banner was handmade by Mrs. Milton Carlton and was forwarded to her grandchildren, Jason, Eric, and Price Carlton in Atlanta, for their use for Halloween.
PHILLIPS PROMOTED TO CAPTAIN
Tommy O. Phillips, formerly of Swainsboro, was promoted to captain by Southern Airways. Son of Mrs. W.O. Phillips and the late Mr. Phillips, he was among three fist officers who were promoted to captains, flying Martin 404s.
