Clubs To Observe
National HD Week
April 29, to May sth.
The eleventh annual National
Home Demonstration Week, April
29, May 5, will be observed by
50,000 homemakers who are mem
bers of 2,037 local HD lubs in
Georgia, according to Miss Eddye
Ross, state home demonstration
leader for the Colleege of Agricul
tural Extension Service.
Miss Ross said special services
in many churches on April 29 will
be the first of several events plan
ned in nearly every county in the
state to mark the special Week.
Exhibits showing the work of
the clubs in promoting better rural
living, programs recognizing out
standing HD Club members, tours
to see work done to improve com
munities through HD Club work,
dress revues, organization of new
clubs, and a campaign for new
members, especially among the
younger homemakers-are schedul
ed, Miss Ross said.
“Built around the theme, "To
day’s Home Builds Tomorrow’s
World,’ the observance provides
dub members an opportunity to in
terpet to the public the objectives
and purposes of Home Demonstra
tion Club work and to explain its
contribution to family and com
munity life,” the state leader said.
She urged home demonstration
agents and club members to make
a special effort to let homemakers
particularly "young ones, know how
they can take advantage of the
many benefits home demonstration
work has for them.
Warnings Issued
Against Fake
Cancer Cure
Warning by the Federal Food
and Drug Administration against
worthless cancer treatment have
been emphasized by officials of the
Georgia Department of Public
Health.
We will cooperate with the Food
and Drug Administration to the
fullest extent in alerting the public
to the falsehood of the so-called
Hoxsey treatment for internal
cancer, and other similar, useless
medications, said Dr. T. F. Sellers,
director of the State Health De
partment.
The Federal Food and Drug Ad
ministration said that the Hoxsey
treatment costs the patient about
$460 and consists of inadequate ex
amination and a supply of pills or
liquids. Among the ingredients of
the “medication” the Administra
tion listed are: potassium iodide,
licorice, red clover blossoms, bur
dock root, Stillingia root, berberis
root, poke root, cascara sagrada,
prickly ash bark, buckthorn powd
er and pepsin.
There are Hoxsey Cancer clinics
in Dallas, Texas and Portage,
Pennsylvania. Different colored
pills are prescribed at these two
clinics.
The Food and Drug Administ
ration concluded that the Hoxsey
treatment was “a gross deception
to the consumer," after thorough
investigations of the process.
Dr. W. J. Murphy, director of
Cancer Control for the State
Health Department, said that he
knows of no specific cases in which
Georgians have been taking the
Hoxsey treatment, but that some
may have.
We do know that a paste mix
ture, supposed to cure external
cancer, has been sold in certain
areas of Northeast Georgia. It is
a home-made preparation sold
strictly on a limited basis. The
paste and an injection treatment
which we have encountered in the
past are worthless or dangerous
to anyone using them.
Many times those who sell fake
cancer medications diagnose warts
or other skin irregularities as canc
er and frighten individuals into
buying their products. Also, they
often lull people with actual canc
er into a false sense of security
so that they postpone proper medi
cal treatment.

today than they did 10 years ago.
Today each person averages only

a day, in 1946.

Today & Tomorrow
Louie D. Newton
When I see a real cow men, I
want to linger longer. I saw one
last week. I was with Drs. Carey
Vinzant, J. C. Wilkinson and Au
brey Jackson for a couple of days
at the beautiful lodge of Mr. and
Mrs. Cleo Archer, near Sanders
ville, trying to tempt some of the
fine bass and bream in their lakes.
We got a few' fine ones, even if
the wind was against us.
Dr. Vinzant had told me about
Mr. Arthur’s Circle A Ranch on
our way down, and when we start
ed home, he drove by the Ranch,
near Warthen, on the highway be
tween Sandersville and Sparta.
It was something jjust to see the
place, the sweeping vistas of fine
pasture, with rims of timber, and
fine fields of oats and rrye in the
making for the silos.
But when we got out and walk
ed into the barn, I knew we had
arrived at one of the unusual
places in Georgia. There we met
Mr. Purdy, the gentleman in
charge. Mr. Purdy is a Missourian.
He knows his Herefords.
He showed us stall after stall
of sure winners. I wouldn’t know
how you could improve on the
animals we saw that afternoon.
One of the things that impress
ed me was the personality of each
animal. They were as friendly as
falks. As long as Mr. Purdy was
in sight, they were perfectly quiet,
even with straangers staring at
them. They would look at us as
if to say: "Well, go on and ask
me.”
Mr. Purdy showed us the various
bins of carefully prepared food,
balanced food. It looked good
enough to eat. I noticed how care
fully a young man was weighing
it out, with each calf's name on a
card, as if it were a hospital diet.
The place was spotlessly clean.
I scanned the formulae - every
decimal point carefully checked. No
wonder they are beautiful animals,
it costs money, aand they bring
money.
And then we had a look at the
big herd, out on the pasture. I
was impressed with the ample
watering system. They manage to
catch all spare rain water in
various pc.ids. And the yield of
grain, small and large, indicates
the fine use of the constantly im
proving soil.
If you want to get some en
couragement on Georgia farming
on how to grow cows in Georgia,
drop by Circle A Ranch.

PATH TO TRUE
CHRISTIANITY
I believe the following state
ment is worth quoting in its en
tirelty from Dr. S. M. Shoemaker,
in "Christian Economics.”
“I have a deep and growing con
viction that what passes among
us in these days for Christianity
is very thin stuff, very remote
from the original to which we are
always going back in our minds
to adjust our compasses. I believe
that the whole modernistic trend
in religion, instead of getting us
free of the accumulated encum
brances of generations and bring
ing us back face to face with the
simple realities of Christ is an
other encumbrance, another false
steer, another path away from
reality instead of a path toward
it. Some of us have never caught
original Christianity by the hem.
For original Christianity began
with the announcement of some
thing that God had done, some
thing that God had given.
It was wholly supernatural not
so much in the sense of the mi
raculous accompaniments to it, but
in the sense, that it was itself a
great miracle, because only God
Himself could have created it. Ori
ginal Christianity, true christianty
for all time, is not a matter of
man trying to live up to a moral
code which he believes pleasing to
God, but of a man responding with
his whole nature to the mercy and
kindness of God.”
He is saying something challeng
es our best thinking.

School Decision
Seeks To Destroy
States Griffin
ATLANTA (GPS) Although he's
not a lawyer, Gov. Marvin Griffin’s
presentation of the constitutional
aspects of the U. S. Supreme
Court’s anti-segregation decision be
fore a recent Harvard Law School
Forum would justice to the most
experienced barrister, according to
reports from Cambridge, Mass.
Step by step, the Governor re
viewed the whole case, from the
high court’s first school integrat
ion decision (May 17, 1954) to the
present. He told what Georgia has
done, is doing and plans to do in
resisting attempts to mix the races
in the state’s common schools and
colleges.
On the premise that the Supreme
Court overstepped the U. S. Con
stitution in rendering the school
decisions and thus has no authority
in the matter, Griffin explained
that Georgia’s answer was the
adoption of a state constitutional
amendment in 1954 setting up a
stand-by “private schdol” plan;
passage of implementing laws by
the legislature, and just this year
the enactment into law of a Reso
lution of Interposition in relation
to the decisions of the U. S. Su
preme Court against the public
schools.
Using legal terms and citing le
gal presedents to back up his ar
gument, here are excerpts from
the Governor’s opening statement
to the law school forum:
“We saw the Federal Supreme
Court announce that the U. S.
Constitution prohibited the several
states from operating their public
schools according to the homo
genous system under which each
of the two races is afforded its
own schools. This announcement
was followed by what appeared to
be a well-organized and well-financ
ed propaganda campaign. The se
quence of events proved that the
court’s pronouncement and this pro
paganda effort were synchronized.
We desire in Georgia to continue
the operation of our public schools.
If our interposition is successful a
republican form of government
will have been reestablished with
the executive, legislative and Judi
cal powers separately exercised, as
the Constitution provides, and with
the division of powers between the
federal and state governments re
spected.
Your stake in this is precisely
the same as ours. The death-knell
of constitutional government in
Georgia is the death-knell of con
stitutional government in Massa
chusettes.
The court was without jurisdic
tion in theses cases for each of
two plain and specific reasons: (I)
The cases were suits against the
states, and the Constitution for
bade the court to try them and (2)
the controversies were not cases
in law and in equity and the juris
diction of the court is expressly
limited to such cases.
The truth is that the funda
mental issue involved in this dis
pute is determinable only by the
people themselves, speaking
through their legislative bodies.
What then moved the court to com
mit so grave an act of unsurpa
tion?
Partisan politics does not afford
a complete answer. The whole mo
tivation may be found in pressures
far more compelling. A close ex
amination of what the court has
done discloses the true purpose to
be nothing less than the destruc
tion, of the states.
The private school plan is desig
nated to provide segregated schools
within the terms of the U. S. Su
preme Court decision. It is our
first, last and only absolute reme
dy. Interposition is the assertion
i of our rights in the people of pre
venting a situation which would
lead to the abandonment of the pub
lic school system. It. is an appeal
to reason.
According to Georgia’s Water
Use and Conservation Committee,
rainfall in the state averages 50
inches a year. In 1954, though it
was 31 inches, and Georgia farm
ers lost 100 million dollars in
drought damages.
