Teen-Age Girls
Test Value Of
Drinking Milk
Teen age girls who don’t drink
milk are likely to be overweight
than those who include milk in
their daily diet.
That’s what Dairy Marketing
Specialist John Conner, College of
Agriculture Extension Service says.
Mrs. Zelma Bannister, HDA in
Forsyth County, said Conner based
his remark on findings of a recent
study made by lowa State College
in which 279 teen age girls took
part.
‘Obesity occurred in almost twice
as many girls who drank little milk
as compared with those who drank
a yuart or more daily,” Conner
pointed out.
After the age of 12 one girl in
five falls into the over-weight eata
gory, yet only 16 percent of these
obese ggirls are from the group
that consumes large amounts of
milk, the study showed.
“At first glance this might seem
illogical, but a closer examination
of other facts about non-milk drink
ers shows why this is true,” Con
ner stated. "Because she mistaken
ly thinks that milk is ‘fattening’,
a teen-ager may leave off milk,
yet eat rich desserts or between
meal snacks. She doesn’t realize it,
but a glass of milk before each
meal would curb her appetite with
out harming her health. Another
glass of milk at bedtime would
substitute for a calorie-rich snack.
And so, drinking milk actually
would help control her weight
while she improved her health,”
the specialist said.
A significant fact of the report
whose Conner cited was that al
most 100 percent of the group of
girls who drank plenty of milk had
diets that were excellent in every
respect. “They were the girls with
th trimmst waistline, too” Conner
added.
With y our County
Agent
Walter H. Rucker
Many Forsyth County farmers
will be interested in the provisions
of the new farm operating and de
veloping loan program for farmers
who have part-time employment
off the farm. They were explained
this week by Ralph Dunson, the
Farmers Home Administration coun
ty supervisor for Gwinnett and For
syth Counties.
He said that although the main
purpose of these loans is to help
farmers who live in areas desig
nated for the rural development
program, there may be other farm
ers having part-time employment
off the farm who may be eligible
for operating and development
loans.
To be eligible for such loans, the
applicant must be of legal age, a
citizen of the U. S., unable to get
credit from othter sources, and
have had farm experience or train
ing sufficient to indicate reason
able prospects of continuing suc
cessful farming operations. He
must be an established farmer, con
ducting substantial farming oper
ations and spendin ga major por
tion of his time farming. The appli
cant must have a dependable
source of outside income.
The loan applicant’s farm must
be of such size and productive ca
pacity that the expected income,
plus the income from part-ttime
employment, is sufficient to pay
farm operating and living expenses,
pay debts, and provide a reason
able reserve for emergencies.
The county committee will deter
mine the eligibility of each appli
cant. J. Carl Holbrook, Cecil B.
Herring, Sr., and Lawton M. Sose
bee are the members of the For
syth County Farmers Home Ad
ministration committee.
Mr. Dunson is in the new County
Office Building each Monday and
Thursday ymoming. Interested
farmers will be able to contact him
here on these days.

the broiler industry today is man
datory poultry inspection. “This

the next session of Congress.
“We are asking maximum attend
ance by poultry producers to deter
mine policy of Georgia Farm Bu

COOKED BY BOLT
Owingsville, Ky Mrs. Robert Toy
was cooking sweet potatoes on her
electric range when a bolt of lightn
ing struck the pan of potatoes and
cooked them to a crisp. That would
not have been so bad, but the bolt
also burned a hole in the pan and
damaged the heating element under
it.

State Patrol On
24—Hour Duty For
Holiday Travel
*, Atlanta, (GPS) If you plan to do
any highway traveling during the
Thanksgiving season and liter
ally thousands of motorists usually
do you'd better make up your
mind right now to drive carefully
and sensibly. Reason: Georgia’s
State Patrol will be out in full
force to catch traffic violators.
All personnel and equipment at
the 34 patrol posts scattered over
the state, as well as at Atlanta
headquarters, will be pressed into
service in an all-out enforcement
effort to hold highway accidents
and fatalities to a minimum, ac
cording to Col. W. C. Dominy, dir
ector of the Georgia Department
of Public Safety.
“All vacations and week-end pass
er for troopers during that period
have been cancelled,” Col. Dominy
said. “Our top strength of 350 men,
including regular troopers and ad
ministrative staff members, and
every available patrol car will work
around the clock in a concentrated
movement to maintain safety for
highway users.
“In manyy states, the highway
traffic enforcement drive for the
Thanksgiving period begins at mid
night November 21 and ends at
midnight November 25. But here in
Georgia, we’ll go on special duty
six hours earlier and work six
hours longer. In other words, our
specially planned traffic safety
maneuver goes into action all over
the state at 6 p. m. Wednesday,
November 21, and continues till 6
a. m. Monday, November 26.”
Last year during the 60-hour
period making up Thanksgiving’s
long weekend traffic accidents took
a toll of fifteen lives in Georgia.
In appealing to the motoring pub
lie for cooperation, Georgia’s safe
ty director emphasized that while
his trained units will be doing all
that is humanly possible to main
tain safety on the roads, it is, in
the final analysis, primarily up to
the individual drivers themselves
to prevent accidents.
He urges mottorists to exercise
every yprecaution at all times.
Among the things to remember:
Observe the rules of the road;
obey all traffic laws. Don’t speed;
don’t pass cars while going up hill
or around a curve; don’t take un
necessary chances any time, and
above all else don’t drive while
drinking.
In short, Mr. and Mrs. Georgia
Motorist, use common sense every
second you’re behind the wheel.

To The People Of
Forsyth County
I wish to take this method to
express my appreciation to all my
loyal friends and supporters who
voted and worked so hard for me
in my race for Sheriff.
I have no lill Will toward any
one, but because of the different
way the votes were counted in each
District, and because of the way
the four hundred or more Absent
Votes were handled, I feel that I
ow'e it to you to see that this Vote
is Recounted and counted the same
way in every District in the Coun
ty. So for this reason I am doing
all in my power to get a Recount
even if I loose by a larger vote.
Sincerely Yours,

Christian Conscience:
Foe Of Alcohol.
Too many voices have been silent
that should be crying out against
this long time enemy of the home.
The drinking of Liquor is a deadly
evil and those who sell it are seek
ing new customers. We can whip
this curse only by total personal
abstinence. This is one of the per
sonal commitments in the South
ern Baptist Crusade for Christitan
Morality. It is also a matter of
dtep concern for all other Christ
ians in our great country.
We have only to open our eyes
to see the terrible wreckage of in
dividual lives and the breaking up
of many homes. The careless adults
are to blame for the drinking and
delinquency of the youth. Estes
Kefauver, chairman of the United
States Senate subcommittee to in
vestigate Juvenile Delinquency re
ported in the Congressional Re
cord, July 26, 1955, for his com
mittee. He said: "Recently the FBI
reportted children under twenty-one
commit 72.6 per cent of all the
auto thefts 63.9 per cent of all bur
glaries 36.3 per cent of all reported
rapes; 36.1 percent of all robberis
and of all those arrested for vio
lation of the liquor laws, one in
four is a juvenile.
Better Homes and Gardens for
March, 1954 reported a survey of
twenty-nine thousand high school
students in Nassau county, New
York. Ninety percentt of those un
der 18 years of age drank and
started drinking before they were
16 years of age. Not one of them
could legally by beverage alcohol.
The United Press published a
spot survey its reporters made in
ten representative cities of the Nat
ion. In that report it described the
juvenile delinquen as “a good look
ing boy about 18 tanked up on
beer.” The liquor makers are after
your child.
Judge Sam Davis Tatum declared
“The help of the church is absolute
ly essential in dealing with delin
quency. Of the approximattely 13,-
000 youngsters and their families
who have appeared before me as
the Judge of the Davidson County
Juvenile Court; $ have noticed an
almost total lack of religious in
fluence in their lives.”
J. Edgar Hoover said: “The Sun
day School must stand in America’s
first line of defense to protect and
teach the many misguided and neg
lected boys and girls who are
theiving, robbing, and engaging in
numerous other criminal activities.
“The role of the Sunday School
teacher too often remains unsung
in the annuals of history. His re
cord of accomplishments, however,
will be clearly set forth in the heav
enly book of accounts.
“We who are engaged in law
enforcement face the future with
hope because we believe in the in
tgrity of th Sunday School and
look upon itts teachers as compan
ions in arms in our fight against
evil.”
Will you sign the following
pledge? “This vow I make unto the
Lord: I Will not use alcohol in any
form as a beverage—So help me
God.

WALKING HOMEMAKERS
Home economists say convenient
arrangement of work space can
save the homemaker 50 miles of
walking per year. The 20 to 30
days saved could be easily used to
handle 35 to 85 hens and bring in
some cash income, they point out.

HE CALLETH HIS SHEEP
I swapped lambs with a friend,
trading him a ram for a ewe. I
wondered how she would fit Into
the picture. Neglecting to ask by
what her former owner called his
sheep, I kept on t trying to teach
the new lamb my call for my sheep
Come! She paid no attention to the
call, following ver hestitanlly when
the sheep would come to me. ,
My friend had bought the lamb
somewhere in Northwest Georgia,
and he did not ask for the call
name when he got her.
She had got somewhat acclimat
ed, but still unresponsive to the
word Come.
Working on the fence the other
afternoon, they called to the phone,
and I answered, Okey! The lamb
left her grazing and started trot
ting toward me. I know f tnt was
the word she had answered in her
native flock, or some word veiy
simtlar.
I can’t change my call for the
other sheep, but I can teach her
my call, and that I am tryying
every day to do. And she is be
ginning to understand Come instead
of Okey.
Look at the tenth chapter of
John’s Gospel, and you will see
what I’m talking about. Jesus said:
“T him the porter openeth, and
the sheep hear his voice, and he
calleth his own sheep by name,
and leadeth them 0ut,...f0r they'
know his voice. And a stranger
they will not follow, but will flee
from him; for they know not the
voice of strangers.”
Then follows one of the really
great passages:
“I am the good Shepherd, and
know My sheep, and am known of
Mine; and I lay down My life for
the sheep.”
David was talking about this
great Gift of God through Jesus
Christ His Son, when he wrote:
“The Lord is my- Shepherd, I
shall not want. He maketh me to
lie down in green pastures; He
leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul; He leadeth
me in apths of righteousness for
His Name’s sake. Yea, though I
walk through the valley of the
shadow of death, I will fear no
evil; for Thou art with me; Thy
rod and Thy staff, they comfort
me. Thou preparest a table before
me in the presence of mine ene
mis; Thou anointest my head with
oil; my cup runneth over. Surely
Goodness and mercy shall follow
me all the days of my life; and I
will dwell in the house of the Lord
ever.”
