Volume 47. 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.

POULTRY PROBLEMS HIGH ON AGENDA AT FARM BUREAU MEET, NOV. 19—21 MACON, GA., Nov. 12—- Georgia poultry producers and industry problems will be among many prob lems to be discussed by voting de legates attending the 18th Annual Georgia Farm Bureau Federation Convention in Atlanta, November 19—21, H.

Delegates will come .from 136 Farm Bureau Chapters to develop recommendations and resolutions to guide the Georgia Farm Bureau for the next twelve months. J. D. Cash, Gainesville, Chairman of the Georgia Farm Bureau Poul try Commodity Conference, reports that one of the big issues facing the broiler industry today is man datory poultry inspection. “This was a big issue in Congress this year”, he said. Cash said Farm Bureau together with poultry organizations were able to postpone action in Congress on mandatory inspection to give producers and opportunity to tho roughly discuss the issue before the next session of Congress. “We are asking maximum attend ance by poultry producers to deter mine policy of Georgia Farm Bu reau on this important question re garding poultry producers and the broiler industry,” Cash said. “The question is not inspection, but who shall do the job.” Charles K. Laurent, Chairman, Poultry Division, University of Georgia, will meet with poultry producers to discuss advantages and disadvantages of inspection of poultry meat.

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.

Wills NOTICE The Registration books of City of Cumming are now open at the City Clerks Office for the regristration of voters who wish to vote in the City election. CITY OF CUMMING PAUL H. WORLEY, Clerk. 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. Soil Conservation District News JAMES T. COOTS SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE IN MEMORY OF JOHN C.

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, BASS FARR 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. W. R. Callaway 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. Today & Tomorrow Louie D. Newton 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.” EUGENE ROOT NEW VICE PRESIDENT AT LOCKHEED L.
