Volume 47. 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. Americans are using less milk today than they did 10 years ago.

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. SPECIAL NOTICE The Forsyth Countty Singing Class meet at Friendship Baptist Church each Thursday night, every one has special invitation to come out and help us out in this sing ing.

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. W. R. Callaway Ford W. Chambers Passes April 7th. Funeral services for Ford W. Chambers, 46 of 707 C Pine Forest Drive, Marietta, Go. were held Sun day at 3 p. m. at Cross Roads Church, Rev.

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.
