BELL SYSTEM TO
SPONSOR SCIENCE
SERIES ON TV
The Bell • System will inaugurate
a series on one-hour color television
programs on science with the tele
cast of “Our Mr. Sun” over the
CBS Network on Monday Night,
November 19.
“Our Mr. Sun” was produced by
Frank Capra, Academy Award-win
ning movie director. The series has
been in preparation for several
years with an advisory Board of
Leading American Scientists.
Eddie Albert and Dr. Frank Bax
ter are the principal actors in “our
Mr. Sun”, the first production in
this series.
The CBS Hour, from 10 to 11
P. M.., EST, Monday, November 19
has been made available for the
first telecast in the series. This is
the time when the program “Studio
one” is usually seen.
Cleo F. Craig, Chairman of the
Board of the American Telephone
and Telegraphy Company, said the
Bell System is sponsoring the new
science series on television because
science, besides being one of the
great adventures of our time, is
full, of facinating possibilities for
better and more useful living. He
sad, “We, of the Bell Telephone
Bell Telephone Companies, hope
that by showing the drama and
excitement of science we can, in a
modest way, help it to florish and
do even more for people every
where”.
The series is designed not only
for entertainment and information
but also to interest young people
in science through making the film
available for educational uses.
A scientific advisory board work
ing on the Bell System TV series
assures that the scientific material
included in the various productions
is authentic and authoritative.
In“ Our Mr. Sun”, Capra tells the
story of the Sun, interweaving live
action with animation and filmed
scenes from all over the world. It
tells in story from what modern
science has learned about the Sun
and its significance to human life
on the Planet Earth.
Savings Bonds Trend
For Positive Goals
Here’s a chance to see how your
hopes and dreams stack up against
those of “Mr. and Mrs. America.”
Write down your principal motives
for buying U. S. Savings Bonds,
and check them against those of
others in your age group.
According to Roy P. Otwell,
Chairman of the Forsyth County
Savings Bonds Committee, the
trend is now towards buying bonds
for positive goals, rather than
simply for general emergencies.
Among people aged 18 34, the
big “positive” reason is to buy a
house. At ages 35 44, the child
ren’s education and similar family
needs comes first. At 45 64, re
tirement is the ma-Jor goal. How
do you fit into this picture?
“Citizens of our county,” said
Mr. Otwell, have purchased $65,403
worth of Series E & H Savings
Bonds through August this year.
Including growth in value, that’s
considerably more than $65,403
worth of down payments on homes,
college educations, and comfortable
retirements for our thrifty Citizens.
More and more people all the time
are buying U. S. Savings Bonds
‘for the BIG things in their lives.”

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF FORSYTH COUNTY & CITY OF CUMMING
DEVOTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF FORSYTH, FULTON. CHICRO KEE, DAWSON, LUMPKIN, HAIL AND GWINNETT COUNTIES.
(City Population 2,500) Cumming Georgia, Thursday, Oct., 4, 1956.
FHA Personnel Attend
Training Meetings On
Expanded Credit
Recent changes in the laws gov
erning the Farmers Home Admin
istration will enable the agency to
serve the credit needs of a larger
number of farm families, Ralph
Dunson, County Supervisor said to
day.
The new law provides broader
authority to assist family-type
farmers with loans to improve and
operate their farms. It also author
izes, as a part of the rural develop
ment program, loans for operating
and developing farms where the
farmer has part-time employment
off the farm. Included in the broad
er authority are loans for refinanc
ing existing debts, and an increase
in the maximum amount that can
be advanced for operating loans.
All of the present loan service
of the Farmers Home Administra
tion which include loans for the op
eration, development and purchase
of familytype farms, farm housing,
soil and water conservation, and
loans to meet emergency credit
needs will continue to be available.
Mr. Dunson said the new policies
were explained by State Officials
from Atlanta at a two-day meeting
held September 18 and 19 in Gain
esville. Cy Storey, County Office
Clerk at the Lawrenceville head
quarters office, attended the meet
ing with Dunson.
The loans to refinance existing
debts will be available until June
30, 1959 to owners of farms no
larger than family size. These
loans will help farmers who have
adequate security and who are bor
rowers who have been continuously
indebted for 7 years. The new law
increases from 7 to 10 years the
period which additional credit can
be extended in hardship cases when
the ability of the borrower to re
pay his indebtedness within 7 years
is due to causes beyond his control.
Loans will also be available for
operating and developing less than
family-type farms, if the applicants
are established, bona fide farmers
who have historically resided on
farms and depended on farm in
come for their livelihood, and who
are conducting substantial farming
operations and spending a major
portion of their time farming. Such
operators must have dependable
sources of income. The primary ob
jective of these loans is to help
farmers who live in areas desig
nated for the Rural Development
program, who are unable to obtain
enough land resources to develop
full-time farms.
The interest rates and terms on
these loans for operating and de
veloping less than family-type
farms will vary depending upon the
purpose for- which the loan is ob
tained. Loans for operating ex
penses will be repayable over
periods up to 7 years at 5 percent
interest. Loans for real estate de
velopment will bear charges of
4 1-2 percent and will be repayable
over periods up to 40 years.
These loams will only be made
when the applicant’s income from
his farm and other sources appears
adequate to enablehim to meet
living and operating expenses and
to repay his debts.
The new act also extends until
June 30, 1959, the authority for
special emergency loans. Special
emergency loans are made in areas
designated by the Secretary of Ag
riculture to enable farmers to
maintain . their operations when
they are unable for a temporary
period to obtain needed credit from
other sources.
In addition to the new loans, the
Farmers Home Administration also
makes Farm Housing loans for the
construction and repair of farm
houses and other farm buildings,
including farmstead water supplies.
All of the loans from the Farm
ers Home Administration, will be
made only to applicants who are
unable to obtain adequate credit
from other sources. With most
types of loans, supervision in the
development and carrying out of
balanced systems of farming will
be provided.
The office of the FHA in Cum
ming is located in the Agriculture
Building, office hours are from 9
tc 12 on Monday and Thursday.

SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE
Miles Wolfe, Supt., of the City
of Cumming Waterworks, reports
four inches of rain fell last week.
This amount of rain has provided a
good season in the soil for fall
seeding of permanent pastures. In
fact there are a number of farm
ers seeding pastures this week.
The survey party led by L. Mer
cer Brown, SCS engineer is com
pleting this week the field survey
on Settingdown creek channel
above 9 E highway. It is hoped
that the channel of the creek will
be- improved by next summer.

God’s Goodness And
My Responsibility
If our eyes are only half-way
open we cannot help but see the
results of the goodness of God all
around us. “Every good gift and
every perfect gilft is from above,
and cometh down from the Father
of lights, with whom is no variable
ness, neither shadow of turning”.
James 1:17. Life is the greatest
gift we have who gave it to us?
Who has given us our opportuni
ties, influence, abilities? Who gave
us the world in which we live with
all of its riches and beauty’s. Above
all, who sent hs only begotten son
to earth to redeem us from sin.
Satan desires to destroy the human
race. God desires to save all those
who come unto Him by faith. Each
individual will make his own choice
between life and death. God has
given us the right to choose so
we determine our own destiny by
our choice.
If we have chosen Him as our
Lord and Master we will certainly
have respect and reverence for the
Lord’s Day. We will certainly be
doing our best to serve and obey
Him by serving our fellowman in
His name. If you love Him you
will certainly love your fellowman
and be faithful in cooperating with
other Christians in the Church He
has established.

Consumers Urged
To Study Labels
On New Fabrics
The tremendous increase in fab
ric finishes on the market now
makes it more important than ever
as well as more difficult to be a
wise shopper, Mrs. Zelma R. Ban
nister, HDA for Forsyth County,
believes.
“There are over 500 trademarked
and branded finishes on the market
today, so it is easy to see why
there is more confusion on the part
of the consumer as to what can be
exjected of fibers and fabrics and
how to care for them,’ the HD
agent says.
She explains that fabrics always
have been “finished,” but in recent
years the art and techniques of
finishing have been developed to
the extent that they are almost as
important as the fiber content.
In Athens, Miss Avola Whitesell,
clothing specialist for the College
of Agriculture Extension Service,
says, “The best aid for the con
sumer is the labels or hang tags
which most manufacturers supply.
The manufacturer of a good pro
duct wants you to know the facts
about it.”
Some of the special finishes,
which may be found under various
trade names, are these:
Shrinkage control —the product
has been treated so that shrinkage
will be less than one or two per
cent.
Wlrinkle recovery and creases re
sistant—resin finishes applied to
cotton, linen, rayons, and blends of
these materials, to resist wrinkles
and keep the fabric fresh longer.
Starchless finishes—giving a per
manent crispness to cottons and
rayons, making them lustrous and
making care of the easier.
Texturizing or embossed finishes,
resin that give a fabric a different
appearance, such as a puckered ef
fect or glazed surface. Cotton can
be made to look like satin, linen,
leather, or wall paper.
Color-fast ness-signifies the type
of dye used and how it was ap
plied. Because no one can tell just
by looking at a fabric what kind
of dye was used or how fast the
color is, a lable guaranteeing color
fastness and giving instructions on
how to care for the fabric are valu
able. Vat dyes are considered the
most resistant to fading from
washing and sunlight.
Water repellents—does not mean
water proof. Read the label to see
if it tells the number of dry clean
ings the garment will take before
losing its repellency. A non durable
water repellent finish may be re
placed by most laundries and dry
cleaners.
Flame resistant finishes —a finish
applied after the Flamable Fabric
Act of 1954, enacted to eliminate
highly dangerous fabrics from com
mercial sale
Insulating finishes—a metallic
coating applied to lining fabrics to
give warmth without increasing
weight. These linings should be
dry cleaned unless label reads
otherwise.
Moth control—a rinse developed
by U. S. Department of Agriculture
called “E-53” used under various
trade names, which will prevent
growth of moth larvae in all stored
washable woolens for at least a
year, if applied properly.
Hygienic finishes—retard the for
| mation of odors by inhibiting bac-
I terial growth.

Transatlantic Cable
Now Serving The
Foreign Countries
The transatlantic telephone cable
which was placed in operation Sep
tember 25, 1956 will greatly im
prove telephone service between
North America and Europe, Hugh
A. Fleming, local manager of South
ern Bell Telephone Company, said
today. .
“Conservation between the two
continents can now be carried on
with the clarity and ease of a local
telephone call,” Mr. Fleming said.
“Last year over 683,000 overseas
telephone calls were made from the
United States,” Mr. Fleming said.
“About 68,000 of these originated
in Southern Bell territory. The
State of Georgia makes an average
of about 190 overseas calls a week.
Mr. Fleming pointed out the sim
plicity of making an overseas call.
If a person in Cumming wanted to
talk with someone in Paris, his op
erator would call an overseas op
erator in New York. The New York
operator would probably make the
connection via the new transat
lantic cable.
The local telephone official said
that the new transatlantic cable
will improve the quality of overseas
calls to Europe. The underseas
cable will not be affected by sun
spots and storms as radiotelephone
systems have been in the past. The
cable will be able to carry 36 con
versations at the same time, almost
tripling the capacity of the older
system.
Three overseas telephone offices
are maintained in the United
States. They are centered in the
Miami area for the Caribbean and
Central America, in the San Fran
cisco area for the Pacific islands
and the Orient, and the New York
area for the rest of the world.

Drama ,& Excitement
In “Song of the South 9 ’
The live-action drama that high
lights the plot of “Song of the
South,” Walt Disney’s full length
feature production to be seen in
print by Technicolor, vibrates with
action and excitement. The story
concerns the life of a young boy
who becomes bewildered when his
home becomes strife-torn and his
parents separate. With his father,
a newspaper editor, away in At
lanta, the boy is taken by his moth
er to live on his grandmother’s
plantation. It is at this point that
he decides to run away. He halts
his plan, however, when he meets
Uncle Remus and is enchanted by
the folk tales he narrates on the
plantation.
Bobby Discoll impersonates John
ny, the boy who is unhappy at
home. A native of Cedar Rapids,
lowa, he was taken by his family
tc live in Pasadena, California,
when he developed sinus trouble.
A mass interview at a motion pic
ture studio leading to a bit role
started him on his acting career
when he was five. He was consid
ered a seaasoned player when Walt
Disney selected him for his "Song
of the South” role, and later at the
Disney Studios he lent his voice to
the picturization of the immortal
classic, “Peter Pan.”
Ruth Warrick, who portrays his
mother, was a beauty contest win
ner and a radio singer before she
entered th fielm world. Blue-eyed,
with reddish brown hair, Miss War
rick played her first big film role
in “Citizen Kane.” Among her
more recent Hollywood pictures are
“Let’s Dance,” “One Too Many”
and “Make Believe Ballroom.”
Lucile Watson, enacting the role
of the grandmother in “Song of the
South,” is considered on of Holly
wood’s finest troupers. She is equal
ly admired on Broadway where as
a stage actress she has scored in
some of the biggest hits produced
in New York in the last decade.
Among her many Hollywood pic
tures are “The Women,” “Water
loo Bridge,” “Made in Heaven”,
"Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” “Footsteps
in the Dark” and “Let’s Dance.”
James Basket, who is seen as
Uncle Remus, tasted all facets of
show business before he came to
Hollywood. He toured in tent shows
