Disappointed at first re
sponse to his machine,
Sholes feared it would be
tossed aside as a novelty,
For five years after it was
introduced, he worked to
perfect it and finally sold
interest in it to E. Reming
ton and Sons, small arms
manufacturers, for $12,000.
Their first model for com
mercial use was mounted on
a sewing machine stand and
employed a foot treadle for
returning the carriage.
Sholes is shown above in
1877 with an early portable,
still ungainly compared to
the modern Remington at

Auto Tag Deadline
Extended For 30 Days
By DON PHILLIPS
I’nited Press International
ATLANTA (UPI)— Gov. Les
ter Maddox gave Georgia mo
torists a break Wednesday, ex
tending tl.3 deadline lor pur-
Sholes' first

to the one
shown above.

j chasing license tags and paying
vehicle property taxes 30 days.
Maddox admitted that extend
ing the deadline until May 1
would adversely Eiffect some lo
cal tax offices but hundreds of
“grass roots” Georgians would
be helped by the extension.
The new law requiring pay
ment of taxes before tags can
be purchased provided that the
governor could extend the dead
line up to 60 days.
Superior Court Judge C.
Cloud Morgan of the Macon Ju
dicial Circuit Tuesday ruled
that the auto tax law was con
stitutional. The law had been
challenged by Moody Motors of
Perry on grounds that it treated
the inventory of automobiles In
a different manner than the in
ventory of merchants.
Rep. Harry Mixon of Ocilla,
who authored the law, said
Maddox’s extrusion of the dead
line should not be taken as a
delay. “If they (taxpayers) do,
it will create the same situation
that we are now trying to alle
viate.”
That situation is the long
lines at the tax offices caused
by motorists who wait until the
last minute to take care of their
business.
Maddox, at a news conference
that covered a wide range of
subjects, predicted Georgia
would go on Daylight Savings
Time this year. He said he
would sign the bill to put Geor
gia on DST it four of five neigh
boring states go on DST.
“I think most of them will go
on daylight time,” he said.
Maddox said he would prob
ably sign the bill giving local
governments the right to use
radar in traffic control even
though he was not 100 per cent
for the measure.

Maddox said he would also
make more industry hunting
trips to New Jersey, Wisconsin,
Florida and possibly Canada in
the near future. He went
to New York Tuesday in an at
tempt to lure a $15 million in
dustry back to the state and
said he felt chances it would
come were good.
He said Lt. Gov. George T.
Smith was invited to make the
New York trip but had already
planned a three - day vacation.
He said Smith would be mak
ing other trips with him in the
future.

90 Percent Of Penicillin
Not Doctor
By CHARLES S. TAYLOR
United Press International
ATLANTA (UPI)—Do physi
cians prescribe drugs uselessly?
Do they misuse drugs?
Dr. Harry Williams, professor
of pharmacology at Emory Uni
versity, says the answer to both
questions is yes.
Williams Wednesday told
southern journalists attending a
seminar at Emory University
that doctors sometimes useless
ly prescribe drugs such as peni
cillin when, if a person is aller
gic to that drug, it could pro
duce serious, sometimes fatal
reactions.
“As much as 90 per cent or
more of the penicillin that is
given today is not needed,” he
said.
Williams said the antibiotic
frequently was prescribed for a
patient with a cold or an upper
respiratory illness and “certain

Part of the problem, Williams
said, was “90 per cent or more

The expert said widespread

state where 5 to 10 per cent of

causes of drug abuse.
Williams estimated 67 billion
doses of nervous system tran
quilizers are produced in tl.3
United States every year.
He said all depressive drugs
were addictive and produce
withdrawal symptoms when
their use is discontinued. He
said they were just as deadly
as the use of such narcotics as
heroin and opium.
