(City Population 2,500) Course To Relieve Hospital Dietitian Need Many small Georgia hospitals urgently need trained food service supervisors, but a research and demonstration grant from the U. S. Public Health Service is enabling the Georgia Department of Public Health to do something about the shortage. The first class of a training courrse for people supervising diets in the small hospitals will be spon sored at the Georgia State College of Business Administration in At lanta, by the State Health Depart ment and the College, beginning in September. The courrse will have three col lege quarters, meeting on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 1:15 p. m. until 9:25 p. m. Before class es, the students probably will work in food service departments of hos pitals and other establishments in the Atlanta area, receiving on-the job training. “Most of the food service work in the smaller hospitals is directed by persons who are without basic training in nutrition and food ser vice management,” said Dr. R. C. Williams, director of Hospital Ser vices of the State Health Depart ment. Dr. Williams is administer ing funds for the course. “Phy sicians often find this to be a ser ious handicap in obtaining thera peutic dietic services for their pa tients,” he said. The first class will be limited to about 15 students, preferably mature women with high school or college education. However, women with experience in food ser vice work who are not high school graduates may be accepted- A qualified dietitian. Miss Gwendolyn Biggerstaff, will guide the training program, with the assistance of an advisory committee of experienced dietitians, who will outline the course of instruction and act as the admission committee. Student tuition will be paid by the State Health Department through the Public Health Service grant, and the additional food ser vice employment should meet other expense of students not assisted by hospitals of civic clubs, according to Dr. Williams. “The grant will expire in three years,” Dr. Williams said, “but we hope that the courrse will be well established and self-supporting by then.” So.

Cumming Georgia, Thursday, April 26, 1956. WHAT IS YOUR CONTRIBUTION? What is your contribution for the good of humanity? When our life comes to an end, will our total contribution to the welfare of so ciety equal zero? Will people say “he will not be missed; he was interested in himself and his own family but nobody else. Will his attitude be like the prayer of a selfish man who prayed somewhat like this; “God bless me and my wife, my son John and his wife, us four and no more,” Amen. If that is our attitude, we lack a great deal of possessing the spirit of Christ. Self gratification is not the spirit of a true follower of Christ, but self-sacrifice is the true spirit of a Christian. If the center of your world is yourself you live in a small world. If the center of your world is Christ and you strive every day to apprehend the mind of Christ and to glorify God in your body—you will begin to love the world like God loved it, love the people whom God cre ated. God placed you here in the worrld to be a blessing—give of your best to the master! Don’t waste your time in glorifying your self but improve your time in glorifying God in your bodies, by serving others in His name. Giving yourselves, your time, money, influence, ability, every thing that God has given you, give back to Him in service to others. This is the greatest contribution you can make to humanity. W. R. Callaway With Y our County Agent V/alter H. Rucker Grainn sorghum is a good crop to take the place of corn and is also good as a follow up crop after small grain. It has about 90 per cent of the nutritive value of corn. Grain sorghum does well on the same typo of land that is suitable for corn. A good seed bed should be prepared and fertilization should be at the rate of approximately 500 pounds of 4-12-12 per acre with a side dressing of 50 pounds of nitrogen applied 25 to 40 days aft er planting. The best varieties for this area are Combine Milo, Redbine 60 or Redbine 66. Be sure to get good I seed and treat with Arasan. Get certified seed if possible. Grain sorghum should be planted in rows 3 to 3 1-2 feet wjde with the seed spaced about 4 to 6 inches in the row. Cover the seed 1 to 2 inches deep and plant in April, May and June when there is suf ficient soil moisture for germina tion. All cultivations should be shallow ones. The grain should be harvested with a combine when the grain contains 13 percent or less mois ture unless you have provisions available for drying. For disease control, treat your seed, practice rotations and use re sistant varieties. For control of caterpillars in the bud, use 20 lbs. of granular form of Toxaphene. I For caterpillars in the head, use 15 to 20 pounds of 20 percent Toxaphene. If you should be troubled with corn earworm alone, use 10 to 15 pounds of 10 percent DDT. Be sure that you don’t harvest the grain or use foliage for animal | feed within 21 days after you ap ply any or all of the insecticides that are listed above.
