W. Clark, witnessed the gov ernor’s action in the state capitol office. Thanksgiving week has been de signated “Muscular Dystrophy Week” in Georgia by a proclamat ion issued by Governor Marvin Griffin. Governor Griffin signed the pro clamation in his office last week end presented it to pretty, 3 1-2 year old Vickie Lynn Clark of At lanta. Little Vickie Lynn is a vic tim of muscular dystrophy and has not been able to walk since last July. Vickie’s parents say the child is not old enough to realize children with muscular dystrophy do not generally “grow to be old," but they have faith that research sponsored by Muscular Dystrophy Association of America will find the cure that will make their little girl normal again. Muscular dystrophy can strike anyone at any age, time or place, and there is presently no cure for the fatal disease which afflicts more than 200,000, most of them children. Seventy-five per cent of the money contributed to Muscular Dystrophy Associations of America is used for research in an effort to find the cause and cure, the re mainder is spent in local communi ties for the aid of patients.

MILES WOLFE, Supt. Bulk Handling Reduces Milk Hauling Costs Cheaper hauling costs to Georgia dairymen may be the main econo mical advantage of bulk handling of milk, research by a University of Georgia College of Agriculture economist shows. Jerry H. Padgett reported in his study, “Marketing Milk by the Bulk Tank Method,” that savings on hauling after installing bulk tanks ranged up to 12 cents per hundred weight. Savings to producers per week at various levels of output varied from $7.84 per week at a 100 gallon per day level to $39.13 per week at 500 gallons per day. Padgett believes these savings alone could easily justify the in vestment in the farm bulk tank without the additional consideration of labor savings in the milking operation. The Ag College economist said the can system of handling milk on the farm requires less average initial investment than the tank system at all levels of production up to 500 gallons per day, with the widest margin at the lowest levels. He continued that the average investment required for a can sys tem at 500 gallons per day output would be $4,985. The tank invest ment for the same amount would b(: $5,240. The difference between the two systems decreased from $540 at the 30 gallon level to $255 at the 500 gallon per day output. The can investment at the 500 gal lon level was 95 percent as large as that required for tank invest ment. Padgett found that the cost of handling milk in cans is higher at all levels of output above 30 gallons per day than the cost of handling milk in bulk. “As the daily output increases,” he said, “margin between can and bulk handling increases.” 500 WAR ORPHANS ASK SCHOLARSHIP HELP UNDER LAW War Orphan applications for bene fits accorded them by The War Orphans Scholarship Assistance Act are nearing the five thousand mark. The October figure not yet available, may push the total past the above figure. Pete Wheeler, Director of the State Department of Veterans Ser vice, stated that the Scholarship Assistance Plan for sons and daugh ters of veterans who died of ser vice-connected causes is just be ginning to gain momentum. By Spring of 1957, Wheeler anticipates that fifteen thousand applications will have been received by the VA. Wheeler revealed that seventy applications for benefits have been received here in Georgia and stated that the present figure will stead ily mount as more Georgians are acquainted with the benefits of the Bill. The SDVS Director said that all Field Offices of the State Depart ment of Veterans Service have com plete information on the Bill and also have on hand a Publication that explains complete benefits and eligibility requirements for interest ed Georgians. In conclusion, Wheeler urged all Georgia veterans and their depend ents to become familiar with the contents of the War Orphans Bill.

Your friend, LOY BARNETT ASC NEWS The referendum on upland cotton marketing quotas, to be held’ thru out cotton producing areas on Dec ember 11, will be the eleventh vote of its kind C. A. Bagwell, Chairman of the County Agricultural Stabili zation and Conservation Commit tee, said today. The first vote on cotton market ing quotas was held in March 1938, and the last previous cotton refer endum was in December 1955. In the last votte 93 percent of the farmers voting expressed approval of using the quotas for the 1956 cotton crop. At least two-thirds of the farmers voting must favor quo tes before they may continue in effect. Under legislative provisions, the Secretary of Agriculture must pro claim a national marketing quota and a national acreage allotment for upland cotton whenever he find that the tottal supply exceeds the normal supply. At the time the Secretary issued he proclamation for the 1957 crop, the tottal supply of upland cotton for the 1956-57 marketing year was estimated at 27.5 million running bales, which included an August 1, 1956 carryover of 14.1 million bales, 1956 production of 13.4 mil lion bales (the August Crop Report and estimated imports of 50,000 bales. The "normal supply” figure of 17.7 million bales included esti mated domestic consumption of 9.1 million bales and exports of 4.5 million bales, plus a 30 percent “carryover” reserve of 4.1 million bales. Thus the prospective total supply for 1956-57 at the time, the quotas was proclaimed exceeded the normal supply by about 9.8 million bales. Marketing quotas operate through acreage allotments. A grower who exceeds the cotton acreage allot ment for his farm, under a cotton marketing quota program will be subject to a marketing quota pen alty of 50 percent of parity on the farm’s excess production. Growers who do not exceed their cotton al lotments may market free of penal ties all the 1957 cotton production from their farms. County Population 15,000. Number 47. “BE ZEALOUS AND REPENT,’’-Rev. 3:19 “So then because thou art luke warm and neither cold nor hot, I will spne thee out of my mouth”. Rev. 16. The last part of verse 15 we read,. “I would thou wert cold or hot.” Then in verse 20. "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open .the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with mt.” • These words were written to a church; these words were written tc professing Christins. Do you see Jhe picture?—A church locking Christ out. Individuals, who are professing Christians, can lock Christ out of their lives. It is won derful to know that Christ will come in and take charge if you will only open the door. When we eercise repentenee and, faith in Christ we open the door. In the 19th verse we read “Be zealous therefore, and repent.” That word Zealous means: "bubbling or (boiling) over with heat”. I re member gathering up chips and wood to make a fire around the pot when my mother would boil the clothes. Little bubbles would form and then the water began to boil until it boiled over with heat. A Christian must boil over with heat for the cause of Christ. We must be on fire for God before we can be ef much help in winning others to Christ. Luke warm Christ inns are hinderances and stumbling block; they are draw-back to the cause of Christ. BE ZEALOUS !! and REPENT!! W. R. CALLAWAY State Patrol On 24—Hour Duty For Holiday Travel Atlanta, (GPS) If you plan to dq 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 e.« 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 traffjc 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 i 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. Today & Tomorrow Louie D. Newton UP THE ROAD Last week Mrs. Newton and I took a little trip up the roadi as we used to say. I had to speak at the Illinois Baptist Convention, meeting in Metropolis, a few miles across the Ohio River from Padu cash, Kentucky, and we decided to drive and get a look at the autumn scene along the way. The farmers in Tennessee, Ken tucky and Illinois were busy, most ly gathering corn. And they have made a bumper crop in each of these states. I saw a few farms where they are sticking to the old pattern of breaking the ears from the stalks and hauling it in wag gons or trucks, but in most in stances they were using mechanical pickers. I like the old plan better, but I am hopelessly out of date, of course. After you pass Hopkinsville, all the com appears to be yellow. I saw very little white corn in Ken tucky and Illinois, except on the hybrid seed farms, and they have a good many such farms, with ad vertisements, inviting you to stop and see what they are doing. We did stop at several farms, not only to see the hybrid seed folks, but to look at the barns and silos and cattle and hogs and horses and sheep and goats. They have more goats than I ex pected, and there is a story about goats that I must pass on some time. They have some very fine goats in some sections. I was most impressed by their pastures. When you get beyond Nashville, you begin to see their famed bluegrass farms, and by the time you reach Kentucky, you be gin to wonder how we can ever compete with such pastures. They have the lime, of course. They are mixing fescue and rescue with the bluegrass. We get our fescue from Kentucky. And the fine cattle, horses, sheep and goats are the answer. I saw thousands of pigs, just weaned, eating grass like the cattle. Talk ing to a young farmer, I asked him what the grass did for his pigs. Pointing to his grandfather, he said: “He taught me to get tfyem on grass as soon as they are weaned, and finish them on corn. He says the grass is just as im portant as the corn. I have exactly 100 pigs, and I expect to make good money on them.” It is good to observe the farm ers up the road. They haven’t any notion of quitting. They are work ing hard, but when was the day that a farmer didn’t work hard? I mean a real farmer. Open Letter From Bass Farr To my friends and loyal support ers I promised you last week to do all in my power to get a Recount of the votes in my race for Sheriff. (ATTENTION Dr. Marcus Mash burn, Sr. and A. C.
