Volume 46. Biggest Highway ‘Safety Crusade’ Planned In State ATLANTA, (GPS) Plans are un der way for what is described as the “biggest safe driving campaign in the history of the state.’' Known as the Georgia Safe Driving Cru sade, the campaign will run from Sunday, August 28, through Labor Day, September 5. Its purpose: To prevent deaths, injuries and de struction of property on Georgia s highways and streets. At a recent organizational meet ing in Atlanta plans for the state wide drive were formulated. Gov. Marvin Griffin is chairman of the campaign and J. H. (Tommy) Thompson, of Hawkinsville, presi dent of the Motion Picture Theater Owners and Operators of Georgia, who originated the idea for the special safety program, is co?chair man. John W. Maloof, director of the Georgia Citizens Council, perennial sponsor of traffic safety over the state, is coordinator of the cam paign, and John Thompson, of Gainesville, is secretary. There will be 23 co-operating agencies taking part, including the State Patrol, Georgia Teen-Age Traffic Safety Association, Parent-Teachers Asso ciation, Georgia Peace Officers As sociation and others. Ministers throughout Georgia will be asked to “plead for the con servation of human lives” in their sermons, pulpit announcements, church bulletins, Maloof said. Geor gia theaters will show special safe ty films during the campaign, with emphasis on the 17-minute, prize winning RKO safety movie, “Devil Take Us.“ Various civic clubs, newspapers and TV and radio stat ions will be called on to aid in the drive. But in the final analysis, as Ben T. Wiggins, executive secretary to the Governor, said at the organiza tional meeting, “it’s up to public” to make the Georgia Safe Driving Crusade a success.

Departmeet of Agri culture announced that, through ballots cast not later than Augustt 19, producers will vote in a refer endum to decide whether or not an ■ agreement providing for advertis ing, promotional, and related mark let development activities on wool and lambs under Section 798 of the National Wool Act of 1954 will be put into effect. The agreement between the re cently-organized American Sheep ; Producers Cuncil and the Secretary of Agriculture provides for deduct ions from wool incentive lamb yearling sheep (pulld wool com pensating) payments made to pro ducers under the National Act of 1954. These deductions will pro vide a means of financing the mar ket development program. Before the agreement can be put into ef fect, producers ownin gat least two thirds of the sheep and lambs re presented by votes in the referen dum must vote their approval. If the agreement is approved, the deduction from payments for the 1955 incentive program, to be made in the summer of 1956, will be 1 cent per pound from shorn wool payments and 5 cents per hundred pounds of live weight from lamb and yearling payments. The payments will be used by the Am erican Sheep Producers Council for advertising, promotional, and relat ed activities designed to enlarge or improve the market for products of the industry. Producers who have owned sheep or lambs for at least 30 days any time since January 1, 1955, will be eligible to vote. Because deductions would be made from both shorn wool, and lamb and yearling pay ments, the volume of production for this referendum will be based on the number of sheep six months o fage and older owned during any one 30-day period since January 1. The number of sheep and lambs will be noted on the ballot by each producer and the ballot will be i signed by him. Ballots will be ac-1 cepted by the County Agricultural!

Club members and their families. A large number was present. Several visitors were wel comed and all had an enjoyable time. We hope that all the mem bers can attend the next meeting which will be held at the school house. Chattahoochee Forest Trout Expansion Set WASHINGTON July 23 Repre sentative Phil M. Landrum of Geor gia’s Ninth District announced from Washington this morning that he has this week concluded lengthy negotiations with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to bring abount an expansion program de signed to double the present pro duction of catchable-size trout for stocking streams within the man agement area of the Chattahoo chee National Forest. The program is estimated by the Fish and Wild life Service, Department of the In terior, to cost $140,000. These funds will be used for the rehabilitation of water supply dam and intake to the supply lines, re placement of supply and drain lines, repairs to dranage structures and picking up water from each existing pool for reuse under the proposed construction of new trout rearing raceways. The completion of the items mentioned will tie in directly with the overall expansion program of trout rearing facilities and service buildings and roads required for the efficient operation of the ex panded rearing station. An initial allocation of funds in the amount of SIO,OOO is being made available for use during the fiscal year 1956, and these funds will be used to initiate rehabilitat ion of the station’s water supply system. Wheeler Commended By American Legion For Service To Vets * i | Pete Wheeler, Director of the I Georgia State Department of Vet i erans Service, has been given an j unanimous vote of commendation for his work in behalf of Georgia’s veterans by the American Legion, , Department of Georgia, i The convention of the Legion, meeting in Macon two weeks ago cited the many services which he had rendered ex-service men and | women and gave him special re i cognition and a letter of apprecia tion. 5 Among the services for which the Legion commended Wheeler ( were his action in initiating and working for the establishment of a Veterans Home at Milledgeville State Hospital, and at Battey Hos ' pital; the placing of the Veterans Department under the Merit Sys tem; his work toward improve ment of veterans hospital facilities in the state, and the public rela tions programs which he has spon sored and directed. ) Other state-wide veterans organi sations have cited Wheeler recently | also for his service to Georgia vet ' jerans. ANOTHE ICEBOX TRAGEDY Despite the warnings of safety expperts and all that is written about abandoned iceboxes, two boys were recently suffocated in an abandoned icebox near Los Angeles The little boys, one eight and the other two, were missing for several hours before a searcher thought to look in an old aband oned icebox, stored in a nearby chicken shed. On opening the door, the boys were found crouched in side, both suffocated. Experts said the boys had been dead about five hours. The icebox, it seems had been stored in the shed for about six months. Whether the youngsters had played in it on earlier occas ions is problematical, but even if they had not, that one experience was sufficient to result in tragedy. Accidents involving adults are bad enough, but those which take the lives of children—(who cannot be responsible—and which are at tributable to carelessness on the part of adults, are preventtable and unnecessary. We point out this tragic example as a reminder to all who have discarded iceboxes, or freezers, to take*the latches off before they are stored. In 1954, Georgia home demon stration club women canned over six and a half million quarts of food and froze more than five mil lion pounds. Herman Talmadge To Speak August 24 At Farm Festival Former governor Herman Tal madge will be guest speaker the third day of the Farm Festival scheduled August 22-26 at State 4-H Club Center, Rock Eagle Park, near Eatonton, according to L. W. Eberhardt, Jr., assistant director of the Agricultural Extension Ser vice, College of Agriculture. Mr. Talmadge will speak at 3 o’clock on August 24. The Festival planned so that Georgia’s rural families can .see exhibits of old and modern farm and home equip ment—is the first of its kind ever held in the state, Eberhardt said. J. Phil Campbell, commissioner of agriculture, will speak on August 23. G. I. Johnson, Extension engi neer, who is helping arrange the program said, “The exhibits will show many labor-saving and cost cutting devices for tlje farm and •home. These tools have enabled Georgia to make more progress during the last fifteen years than in any of its previous history.'' Johnson said the Festival also will give visitors a chance to see the $2,500,000 Four-H Club Center. He explained that visitors could attend all or part of the five-day Festival. “Reservations should be made through Mr. Cecil Johnson, resident director of the State 4-H Club Center, Eatonton, Ga. While the program is mainly for farm groups, others closely allied to ag riculture also are invited.” The Extension leaders emphasiz ed the fact that some phase of the program will be of interest to each member of the family. “A style revue and a cooking school each day are planned especially for the women, and demonstrations in cast ing and shooting should attract the men. Handicraft, swimming, fish ing, talent shows, contests, out door games, and organ concerts are other events planned during the Festival,” they said. Future Pharmacists May Study Under Co-op Plan Now ATHENS, Ga.—lnterested stud ents should apply now for co-op study in the University of Geor gia’s School of Pharmacy, accord ing to an announcement by Dean Kenneth L. Waters. Co-op study enables a student to pay most of his college expenses by allowing him to go to school one quarter and work in some drug company the next, Dean Waters points out. Applications foor Co-op study should be mailed to the Uni versity Registrar, he said. As a requirement for admission to the Pharmacy School under the Co-op Plan, students must have a personal interview with the dean lof the school on the morning of August 14 and take pharmacy ap titude tests that afternoon. A per sonal endorsement from some re sponsible adult, preforably a mem ber of the drug field or medical profession, is also required. The co-op program of study is available to all qualified high school graduates or transfers from recognized junior or senior colleges Under the co-op plan a student takes science and pharmacy cour ses while on the campus and picks up non-professional courses from off-campus centers or other schools while on the job. OVER THREE MILLION ACRES IN PASTURE J. R. Johnson, Agricultural Ex tension Service agronomist, says to day pastures occupy more land than any other crop. One-third of Georgia’s open land is grazed. More than three million acres are in pasture today. One million acres are in winter grazing each year, the agronomist reports. SPECIAL NOTICE August 4th is the Annual Day for cleaning off the cemetery at Ebenezer Church. Everyone is wel come and invited to come and to bring tools. All help appreciated by Ebenezer Church. County Population 15,000. Number 40. Yes, The Co-operative Program Is Scriptural MISSIONARIES The Co-operative Program works through missionaries in the state and out to the nations. We have hundreds in our state fields, scores for the Home Board among the Indians, Jews, Mexicans, and other foreigners in the homeland, and hundreds on the foreign fields in China, Japan, Italy, Palestine, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Africa, etc. Is this scriptural? See Luke 10: 1- 1 3; Acts 1: 8; 8: 8: 1-40; Matt. 28: 19-20, Especially see Acts 13: 3: "Then, when they (certain leaders, in Antioch, not the whole church) had fasted and prayed and laid j their hands on them, they (the ; leaders) sent them away.” But notice, these leaders were led by the Holy Spirit who said to them (v. 2), "Separate me Barnabas and; Saul for the work whereunto I have called them." In this case the | prophets and teachers sent forth the two apostles, Barnabas and Paul. Farmer* Urged To “Push” Pigs For Early Marketing Urging farmers to “push” spring farrowed pigs for early market, R. O. Williams, livestock marketing specialist for the Agricultu~d Ex tension Service, College of Agricul ture, .paid prices of market hogs are expected to drop considerably lower this fall than last. He pointed out that August and early September usually provide the highest seasonal hog market j of the year in Georgia. “These are . the two months that pigs farrowed ( in March and April should be mar-, keted. Pushing hogs to reach mark-, et even a few days earlier than usual can often mean as much as $5 more return per hog,” he said. He recommended that hogs be marketed when they reach 200 pounds, explaining that consumer demand is for meatier hogs or hogs with less fat. Carrying out details of good management and supplying hogs a full Supply of balanced pro tein supplement „ while hogging-off corn will “push’’ them to market quicker, Williams stated. Wells, Ponds Are Increased By Irrigation The rapid increase of interest in irrigation during recent months throughout Georgia has resulted in significant changes in the State’s irrigation water supply, Willis E. Huston, irrigation specialist for the Agricultural Extension Service, College of Agriculture, said this week. A statewide survey of county i agents shows that 264 deep wells are now being used for Irrigation. Huston said that at least 200 of these wells have been drilled with in the past year. Also, the number of farm ponds, .another important source of water j for irrigation, has increased sharp ly. In the past ten years Georgians have built 18,076 farm ponds. Hus ton pointed out that of this num ber 11,662 have been built within the past five years and that 3, 793 of these have been constructed within the past three years. Experiments Add To Processing Of Watermelon Rinds Experiments conducted at the Georgia Experiment Station over a period of eight years have shown that several delicious products can be made from watermelon rfnds. These include: preserves, jam, mar malade, pickies, glace rinds, spice rinds, conserve and relish. • Tests are now being conducted on coloring the products yyellow, green and red for improved ap pearance. Also, a method is being worked on for utilizing watermelon rind cubes as centers for chocolate coated candies. In 1948, in Georgia, 850 dairy ooWs were artificially bred. In 1954, 24,216 were artifically bred, Leaflet Tells How Electricity I* Servicing Farms Wfays in which farm families throughout Georgia have been as sisted by county and home demon stiation agents in harnessing elec trical power to meet a variety of needs is reported in a leaflet re leased this week by the Agricul tural Extension Service, College of Agriculture. , Entitled, ’Farm Electric Power,” the leaflet was written by Paul A. Crawford, Jr., and is being distri buted by county and home demon [stration agents. i Crawford points out that when j electric lines first reached into rur al areas, farm people thought of electricity only as a source of light. I Therefore, the majority of farm , families wired their homes with systems inadequate for the many I electrical appliances that since have been added. Consequently, re placement of out-model electrical systems is one of the main prob lems now facing farm people. To help meet this problem, county and i home demonstration agents in 1954 helped 4,153 farm families rede sign their wiring systems to give safe and adequate service. The rural electrification special ist says that the addition of more electrical appliances for the home is still a major enterprise of farm families. In 1954, 23,362 families were assisted by county Extension workers in the selection of appli ances and lighting equipment. Another improvement resulting from the availability of electrical i power has been installation of wat er systems for farm and home use, 1 Crawford continues. In this area, 1 Extension agents assisted 3,412 fam lilies in the selection, installation, and uses of electric water systems during 1954. Many of these fami lies also received help with instal ; lation of sewerage systems, he j adds. ) Crawford says that today one of the increasingly important uses of j electricity of the farm is in oper l a ting dairies and poultry houses. Equally important, he points out, jis the increased use of electrical power in the processing of farm products. As farmers plan installa tion of such processing machinery they will fin county agents ready and willing to guide and assist them, Crawford concludes. / . “Life Inl'his Wide World” .

Soil Conservation News Forsyth County The local SCS technicians have seeded Brown Top Millet around the flood prevention lake locatedr on the lands of Coleman Wallace, Luther Karr and Pault T. Martin. This amounts to about three acres and will be used as wild duck food when the seed mature this fall. Brown Top Millet was also seeded around the Ben Wiofford and Mash burn Doctors flood prevention lake back of the Coal Mountain Ceme tery. Livestock dams surveyed recently by the SCS technicians are those for Ford Barrett, R. C. Vaughan, Ernest Wihite. Joe Pirkle and C. E. Benefield. The recent rains have slowed the construction on the flood preven tion dam in the Spot community however it is hoped the dam will be completed in the next two months provided the weather per mits.
