Recent Polio Victim Dean Pruitt Doing Nicely With Aid Our son Dean Pruitt was strick en with Polio October 18, 1954. He was carried to Mary Alice Hospital and when lie left the hospital he was paralyzed in his left leg and had a back weakness. The doctors at the hospital made an appointment for Dean to go to Emory University Hospital to see Dr. Bennett ir. the Physical Thera py Department. He stayed there 8 days before he was released. He was given hot baths and special exercises 'to strengthen his weak muscles. He was given a wonder ful diet and every attention that would help to speed his recovery. On January 14, 1955, Dean was released by Dr. Bennett to go to school or anywhere without being on crutches and to be able to do light work, but nothing with too much strenous exercise. All this was made possible by the March of Dimes. We are so thankful for this wonderful cam paign that makes it possible for people that are stricken with the dreadful disease of Polio to be able to have the wonderful treat ment and medical care that is ne cessary to give the victims of Po lio a Chance.

Cravey Aid Asked In Another State, Seeking Fire Law Aid of the Georgia Safety Fire Commission has been sought by a fire prevention engineer in a mid western state in bringing about adoption of fire laws similar to Georgia’s Commissioner Zack D. Cravey announced today. He said the engineei had written him requesting over 150 copies of the January issue of the Georgia Fire Cracker, official publication of the Commission, these to be placed on the desk of every one of the state’s legislators, now in ses sion. He also requested that one be sent the state’s governor. In the January Fire Cracker, Mr. Cravey declared, Governor Marvin Griffin was quoted as saying he i was backing the Georgia fire- safe ty program 100 per cent. “Perhaps with the help of your great paper and system we might get something done out here,” Mr. Cravey said the engineer wrote, adding “we are in dire need of action and new laws. We have been trying for years to get the state’s fire marshal’s office out of politics and to appoint qualified personnel We are still operating under 1911 laws but lately there has been much public action for new legis lation and our new governor seems to be fire conscious.” Mr. Cravey pointed out that poli tics had never played any part either in the formulation or the administration of Georgia’s fire safety laws. “They were designed primarily to protect human life,” he em phasized. “And when human life is at stake there is no place for politics.” Methodist Youth 5 \ Fellowship Organizes The Methodist Youth Fellowship of the Cumming church re-organiz ed Sunday night February 6 at the church.

Rucker Rams for the sheep demonstrat ion farm were picked up in Athens last Saturday by Mr. Samples. One of the rams was a mature 2 or 3, year old and is exeeptionally large! for the breed. The other three were! one year old lambs. All were j Hampshires. Although these rams will not be placed with the flock until June, they were brought in at this time to allow them to become acclima tized to our weather conditions. For the past few days lambing has been almost at a standstill. About sixty percent of the ewes lambed in December and January. The remainder is expected to lamb in February. The ideal lambing time for our area is December and January. Al though these are our coldest months, the best prices are paid for spring lambs. Lambs born af ter February will generally have to be kept and sold as fall feeder lambs. Lamb brooders are inexpensive and easy to build and will easily pay for themselves with lambs saved in wet and cold weather. A few lambs from the demon stration flock have been lost. A few were born dead and others extreme ly weak. This was probably due to the ewes being shipped during a heavy stage of pregnancy during the latter part of November. A shipment two weeks earlier prob ably would have prevented most of these losses. A tour of the demonstration farm for those farmers who are inter ested in sheep production is being planned for an early date. Watch this column for the announcement of the date. The public 'will be in vitPd:-~ w -*~ - [HOLD ON TO | THE BEST! Would you throw away a whole barrel of apples because you found a few rotten ones in the barrel? Of course you would not. You would throw away the rotton ones only. Would you be down on all Banks and ask that they be closed , because there is counterfeit money in circulation? We agree that there are hypocrits in the churches. Are you going to stop attending ser vices and begin to denounce the church because there are hypocrits in it? On the other hand you should be more faithful than ever for the Lord needs faithful follow ers to carry on His work on earth. As a Christian you owe your alle giance to Jesus Christ and His Church. We owe a debt to all peo ple in the name of our Lord. Every hour of every day (when we are awake) we make decisions. The good or the bad; the right or the wrong; the way of life or the way of death; Clints’ way or Sa tan’s way. Every decision we make shows us up before the world. Are we rightly representing Christ or are we travelling the downward way? If you are a real follower of Jesus Christ you must know where He is leading. In order to under stand and obey the leadership of the Holy spirit we must study and know the scriptures, especially must we know the life and teach ings of Jesus and the power of His Resurrection. Hold on to God and allow Him to hold on to you. “Abhor that which is evil, cleave to that which is good.” “The Love of Christ constrain ed us; because we thus judge that if One died for all, then were all j dead, and that He died for all that they which live should not hence forth live unto themselves, but unto Him who died for them.” W.

Bartow County Family Receives Master Farmer Award “All of us work as a team here!" said Leon Lewis, Bartow County, whose family is one of the 11 new ly honored Master Farm Families of Georgia. Awards were made jointly by, the Agricultural Extension Ser-' vice, University of Georgia, and j The Progressive Farmer. The Lew j ises are featured in this month’s issue of The Progressive Farmer, a Southwide farm magazine. ■ Beginning with a soil-conservat ion and feedgrowing program, the Lewises planned a dairy unit. Start ing with 10 cows, they nave in creased this to 20. With a little outside help, Lewis built the eight stanchion barn, a 36x40 foot sleep ing barn, annd an 18x36 foot grain shed. Electric machin.es do the milking and production per cow is around 7,500 pounds per year. Milk is cool ed to 40 degrees with aerating equipment immediately after milk ing and refrigerated at the farm. It is delivered to a local plant daily. “What I’ve done to improve this place wouldn’t have been possible without the help of my family,” Lewis told Progressive Farmer edi tors O. B. Copeland and Salle Hill. The boys, Prince 15, and John, 11, are junior partners. Lewis pays each boy $1 for each milking and 50 cents an hour for other farm work. “Then I encourage them to spend the money wisely or save it,” Lewis said. Hens, hogs, and sheep make im portant contributions to the farm’s cash foundation. Mrs. Lewis has financed and operates the flock of 1,200 layers as her cash crop. Lewis has served as president of the Eurharlee Farmers Club, said to be the oldest in the Nation. He was also president of the county dairy producers association. Mrs. Lewis is an active Girl Scout leader and serves on the ! Cartersville recreational council. She was vice president of the Car tersville High PTA last year and is now president of the Mothers’ Club of the Mary Lou Kindergart en, which daughter, Joe Anne, 5, attends. * j Oscarville H. D.

Newton “THE FABULOUS FUTURE" According to General David Sar noff, chairman of RCA, the next years will form “the fabulous future.” Writing in the January issue of Fortune Magazine, Gener al Sarnoff says: “By 1980, which is only 25 years away, we will have pilotless pas senger planes, atomic generators in our homes, and purified sea water with which to make our de serts bloom.” Okay. But I got to thinking as I was reading about this “fabulous fu ture” just what we would do with all these added gadgets. Here we are now, flying passen ger planes more than 300 miles per hour, offering liquor to the passengers to get drunk, or drunk er, as they soar through space. And the advertisers are begging everybody to load up their electric refrigerators of today with beer and keep lots of ice cubes for cocktail parties. . And the bootleggers are said to be sinking deep wells to supply their stills in case of future droughts. All of which looks like we are doing pretty well with what we’ve already got to become a nation of alcoholics. Take a look at Mr. Edgar Hoov er’s latest statistics on juvenile de linquency, and you wonder about the “fabulous future.” Take a look at the mounting national debt, and you wonder about the “fabulous future.” Take a look at the lurid front pages of our advertising albums, reeking with crime, and you won der about the “fabulous future." I Gadgets are good, if they are in the hands of people who are ! using them for worthy, decent purposes. ' * ! But just more gadgets, with a lot of people going to the devil ! already with what they have, is ' something else. It might turn out that General Samoff’s "fabulous future” will be, in the words of Solomon, "vanity of vanities.” We’ll see. Soil Conservation News Forsyth County DESCRIPTION OF CLASS in LAND CAPABILITY CLASS Class 111 is moderately good land for cultivation. It is more limited in use than Class II land by rea son of one or more natural fea tures. It can be used regularly for crops but, because of these natur al restrictions, intensive treatment of some kind is called for. Several variations occur in Class 111, as they do in Class 11. Some Class 111 is moderately sloping and must have intensive care to control ero sion if used for crops in a regular rotation. Another variation of Class 111 land calls for water manage ment because of poor drainage. When you see red on a land capability map you know at once that stands for Class 111 land and also that the best of farming methods are required. A land capability map tells at a glance how much and what variety of Class 111 land is on a farm, and just where it occurs. L. M.
