Of 303 turkeys banded and released at the point of capture on the Rimel and Neola Game Management Areas in August and September 1964, 46 (15 percent) were reported killed by hunters. This does not include those killed which had been banded and released in previous years.

Mrs. Florence Tibbs was a lifelong Christian lady whose dedication to her Church and to her Lord was unmovable. She was patient in times of stress, hopeful in times of disappointment, faithful when others were lax and loving where hostility was evident….She served as Church School Superintendent at Pleasant Green Methodist Church for 40 years. During this era in office, her influence spread throughout the community as she diligently trained the children and youth in the Christian Faith. Her teaching, like that of her Lord, was not by work only, but even more so by her deeds. She lived to see two of her Sunday School children enter the Christian ministry, namely Rev. Vernie Bolden, of New York City, and the Rev. Howard W. Hinson, of Washington, D.C.
