IS YOU IS OR IS YOU AINT?
“Is you is” adequately protected
against expense for hospitalization
in case of sickness or accident, then
you need read no further. “Is you
aint”, then give a thought to what
will happen to your pocket book
when you have to meet the cost of
this service. Don’t kid yourself
your luck may have held so far, but
it can happen to YOU. MUTUAL OF
OMAHA has a plan that will fit
every persons particular need. Why
dont you come in TODAY and let
me tell you about it.

CHARLESTON’S FAMOUS
GARDENS
Flowers are now opening rapidly
and the Gardens are up to their us
ual standard of perfection. Peak
bloom, expected to begin the latter
part of this month, should be one
of the best.
The effects of the unprecedented
and unpredicted cpld snap which
nipped early azalea blossoms at the
Charleston’s Famous Gardens have
now passed off according to C. Nor
wood Hastie, Jr., owner of Magnolia
Gardens.
Already visitors are swarming in
to Charleston to visit the Gardens
and Historic Houses. The Stately
old homes will be open from March
14 through April 9.
Trip To Warm Springs
On March 9, the Seventh grade of
Ducktown Junior High motored to
Warm Springs, Georgia. We won
the trip by raising more money for
the March of Dimes drive than any
other class in the county $65.00.
We loaded on the bus at 8:00 a. m.
motored through Forsyth, Fulton,
Clayton, Fayette and Meriwether
counties. In Manchester, we saw
many peach trees in full bloom and
many pecan orchids. '
We arrived at Warms Springs at
11:30. We ate lunch, then went to
the gift house and bought souven
iers. We bought tickets and went to
the Little White House. The first
lecturer was Mr. | Raymond W..
Noon. He tol us how President
Roosevelt gave up his cure and help
ed in the war after he had been
stricken by Polio.
Mr. Richard M. Kelly was our
guide and lecturer through the Lit
tle White House. We saw the Presi
dent’s car, kitchen, stove, sink, table
and the ice box where they kept ice
water for the Secret Service men.
Then we saw Mrs. Roosevelt’s bed
room, the dining room and living
room and the chair in which Mr.
Roosevelt was sitting when he had
a stroke on April 12, 1945. We saw
the portrait that was being painted
when he had the stroke. The artist
threw down the brush and never
touched it again. Next we saw his
bedroom where he was carried when
he had the stroke and saw the bed
where he died. We saw all his ships
that people sent to him and one ship
that he built himself. Ships were his
hobby. Then we were carried to the
Momento Room in the basement
and saw all his walking canes and
the braces and crutches that he used
After we left the Little White
House, we went to the hospital and
we saw many Polio victims on the
campus, also the patients in swim
ming pool taking their exercises.
We saw the training steps and plac
es to help the patients learn to walk
alone. Then we visited the school,
library and shop where the braces
are made. We saw the outside of
Roosevelt Hal lthat is to be dedicat
ed April 12, 1954. This is to be a Re
creation Center.
And the last building we visited
was the Chapel where the patients
worsip on Sunday and Mr. Roose
velt worshiped only a few days be
for his death.
This was a wonderful trip for us
and we want to thank Mr. John Hol
brook, our teacher for his help and
encouragement and Mr. Paul Yar
brough, Chairman of the March of
Dimes, for the fun and entertain
ment he helped to make possible.
We also thank Mr. Lawton Sewell
for driving us safely there and back
and the care he showed to help keep
us together.

IT’S LATER
THAN YOU THINK!
The Fountain of Youth may be a
matter of what you eat.
The typical intake of food for a
person over 65 years of age in this
country amounts to only 1600 to
2000 calories daily, or abcut half
the intake of a younger adult, ac
cording to Dr. Clive McCay, Cornell
University nutritionist. 1
“With this lowered Intake of
food,” cautions Dr. McCay, “every
effort must be expended to insure
high quality in terms of essentials.’
Due to the lessening of an older
person’s food intake, many of the
essentials in the diet are lost.
'-'The American Medical Associa
tion Handbook of Nutrition states
that as a result “low grades or
minor degrees of vitamin deficiency
can be assumed to be the rule
rather than the exception."
The basic essentials in diet for
Seople of advancing years have
een outlined in a bulletin issued
by the Rybutol Laboratories of the
Vitamin Corporation of America. |
The bulletin details the necessity
for a constant variety in choice of
foods, emphasizing the importance
of raw fruits and vegetables. Cal
oric intake should be gradually re-;
duced as a person grows older, pro
tein-rich foods should be included
in the diet, and fatty foods should
be avoided. . . . ,
Careful selection of food alone;
does not guarantee, the bulletin ex- j
plains, a nutritious diet. • I
Dr. Edward Steiglitz, noted med
ical writer, states, in discussing the
health problems of middle and older
age groups “lnsuring this may
require some supplementary ad
ministration of purified vitamins in
capsule form.”
