This was the
Cobb Country Extension Building on the corner of Waddell and Lawrence Streets. It was designed to have a staff of agents
giving farmers a helping hand. Cobb
County was mostly a rural farming community.
The agents would visit farms and test their soil and suggest what they
should grow or what other chemicals should be added and other details to
improve farming.
That was
daytime stuff.
At night it
rented or loaned space to various civic
organizations in the basement.
I know
because our Boy Scout Troop 132, sponsored by Saint Joseph's Catholic Church
met there.
When I first
joined the troop me met in the Clay Homes meeting building, but in a short time
we were in the basement of the County Extension Service.
We were
there for only a short time too until we got kicked out.
I think some
of us were too mischievous to be turned loose in an office building after hours with
unlocked office doors.
