GUMMING F. F. A’s. WINS
STATE CONTESTS
Three members of Guim
minu’s Future Farmer Chap
ter-Geo. Kail Burruss, Ottis
Williams and Earnest Hol
comb were successful last Fri
day in winning the State Poul
try Contest, which was spon
sored by the Poultry Division
at the Georgia State College of
Agriculture, in Athens, Ga.
The competition was very
strong. The competing teams
in the contest represented the
various Vocational Agricultur
al Districts in this state. Of
course, each team had to win
first place in its district before
competing for state champion
ship. Our boys were declared
the three best poultry judges
out of 4,000 vocational agricul
ture students in this state. The
three highest scoring teams in
the contest were as follows:
Cumming—Bo4 points
Tignal—764 points
Hopeful 731 points.
The above scores were made
out of a possible 900 points.
George Earl Burruss scored
28 4 points out cf a possible 300
and was the high point boy of
the contest. Ottis Williams
and Earnest Holcomb made
high scores too, or the team
would not have won first place.
Forsyth county people should
commend the above boys foi
putting old Cumming High on
the map not only state-wide,
but United States wide, since
the boys and their coach were
awarded a trip to the National
Poultry Show which will be
held in St. Louis, Mo., in Octo
ber. The coach will give each
member of the team $6.00' or
a prize when we start on the
trip to St. Louis. This Poultry
judging team will represent
Cumming High School and the
state of Georgia in the above
show.
Other boys that attended
the F. F. A. Conference which
was held in Athens last week
were: Horace Brewer Jr. Mar
cus Mashburn Jr. and Charlie
Kellogg. All the boys ex
pressed themselves in regard
to the great amount of pleas
ure they had at Camp Wilkins.
Charlie Kellogg won a scholar
ship to Camp Wilkins, which
was given him by the Synthetic
Nitrogen Products Corporation
of Atlanta, for producing the
greatest yield of cotton on an
acre of land he entered into a
side dressing contest. He side
dressed his acre of cotton with
100 pounds of the above com
pany’s Calcium Nitrate.
Claude Harris is another of
the F. F. A. members who has
won a place in the state con
tests. Last April he entered
a state forestry contest, was
declared the winner of Forsyth
county by the State Forest]
Division and was awarded a 1
trin to Forest Camp where he
will study forest in the moun
tains of North Georgia, Tenn.,
and North Carolina. He will
leave for Young Harris Mon
day, where he will make his
headquarters for three weeks.

Cumming which will be the

1931 and will operate in both
counties for four weeks.
The purpose of the Mobile
Health Unit is to afford an op
potunity for the public to re
ceive certain benefits of a
health pnit which counties not
maintaining whole-time health
are not receiving. Another
purpose is to acquaint the
general public with the activi
ties of a whole-time health
personnel in the hope that the
public will be sufficiently
stimulated to demand of coun
ty officias such a unit as is be
ing demonstrated. In other
words the Mobile Health Unit
is a demonstration of what can
be done in your community
and also an example of what
your community should do to
protect the citizens against the
ravages of certain diseases
which are entirely preventable
The Mobile Health Unit
personnel consists of Dr. J. H.
Crooks, Director of the Unit,
Miss Elizabeth Abercrombie,
Public Health Nurse, and Mr.
Money L. Taylor, Sanitary In
spector.
The activities of the unit are
varied and include the follow
ing: addressing of public meet
ings; distribution of bulletins;
general education of the pub
lic through newspaper articles;
usits to communicable dis
eases; advice to expectant
notherc; instruction of mid
vives; visits to newborn ba
bies, infants and preschool
hildren ; examination of school
hildren if any schools are in
ession; advice to underweight
children; giving anti-typoid
inoculatons; anti-smallpox vac
dnations; injections to prevent
iiptheria in children. Exami
lations'are also made to deter
nine the presence of hook
worm and other intestinal
worms with treatment of those
jo infected. Schools, public
buildings, camps, swimming
pools, etc., will be inspected
for sanitary conditions and
recommendatios for improv
ng such places will be made.
Demonstrations of how to build
i sanitary toilet will be given
and the unit will gladly super
vise the construction of any
toilet, septic tank or any other]
sanitary improvement. Con-;
siderable attention will be de-i
voted to properly sanitating!
wells apd springs and water;
ramples will be taken to deter-]
mine the purity of any suspec
ted supply.
Forsyth" and Dawson Coun-i
ties are indeed fortunate to
have this splendid Mobile
Health Unit operating here for
four weeks.s.The unit has been
operating in the southern part
af the .state and the coopera
ion of the organizations and
he general public left nothing
t.o be desired.
The unit will be here to help
vou so take advantage of their
hcrt visit to our counties and
