Forsyth County Girl Receives Treatment
At Warm Springs in 1958

Miss Winnie Mauldin
The Forsyth County Chapter of
the National Foundation knows
first hand the crippling effects of
paralytic polio; the heart-breaking
ravages of this dread disease on
a young person in the community.
The chapter also knows the new
hope of improved rehabilitation
methods and the satisfaction of
being able to provide hope and
help to a patient through treat
ment at Warm Springs Foundation
Wiinnie Mauldin, 16 year old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. A.
Mauldin of Route 4, Cumming,
was one of the Georgians receiving
treatment at Warm Springs in 1958
and benefiting from the skills of
medical workers trained ir. the
latest rehabilitation techniques de
veloped through March of Dimes
research.
Patient aid has always been the
largest single program of the Nat
ional Foundation which sponsors
the March of Dimes. Over the
years 325,000 polio patients have
benefited by it. Now that program
will be extended to cover patients
through age 18 suffering from ar
thritis and birth defects or con
genital malformations. And funds
are still needed for at least 50,000
polio patients for whom the March
of Dimes provided $18,900,000 in
patient aid last year. They will not
be forgotten as the March of
Dimes moves toward Greater Vic
tories.
At least 11,000,000 people in the
United States suffer frm some
form of rheumatic disease. Of the
16,000 children likely to seek treat
ment in a year, some 5,000 to
6,000 may need treatment as ex
tensive as that required for paraly
tic polio. An estimated 8,000 pat
ients through age 18, victims of
birth defects involving the central
nervous system, will seek medical
aid each year.
Why support this expanded pro
gram of the National Foundation
which in addition to patient aid
includes scientific research and the
education of professional disease
fighters? Few persons go through
life without illness. The persons
you protect may be you and your
family. The country you help make
stronger and healthier is your coun
try. And— not the least among
the reasons the heart you warm
by your March of Dimes contri
bution is your cwn.

Attention, all poultry growers
and feed mixers! University of
Georgia Scientists warn of Orota
iaria Seed Poisoning in Poultry.
During the past few weeks a
new disease threat has been deter
mined bby the staff of the Poultry
Disease Research Center of the
College Experiment Station and
the Poultry Diagnostic Laboratory
of the School of Veterinary Madi
cine at Athens. In laying flocks
the birds stop laying and die at a
rapid rate. In growing birds fluid
accumulates in the abdominal cav
ity and death losses and stunting
are serious.
Examination of the nossible fae
| tors associated with affected flocks
has demonstrated this condition to
be due to the presence of crota
laria seed in the feed, says Drs.
S. C. Schmittle and J. T. Tumlin.
They are small-slightly less than
3j16 of an inch—flat, hard, mitten
shaped seed and vary in color from
green to black.
The source of the seed results
from the use of crotalaria plants
in corn. Corn harvested in the ear
will not be mixed with the crota
larie seeds. However, when the
corn is COMBINED, crotalaria
seed are included.
Since crotalaria seed are highly
toxis to many types of livestock,
including poultry, Drs. Schmittle
and Tumlin strongly ure that all
lots of corn be carefully examined
for the presence of these seed. If
crotalaria seed are found, they
should be separated from the shell
ed corn with a No. 14 (14 64 round
hole) cleaning screen before it is
used in livestock feed.
In corn fields containing crota
laria plants, the corn should be
picked in the ear rather than cora
biined to avoid including the seed
in the harvest.
Defense Spending
Reliable sources in Washington
report that President Eisenhower
will spend practieallv the same
thing, in the coming fiscal year, on
defense, as he spent in the present
fiscal year. Moreover, it is reported
that the President has not spent
most of the money Congress added
to this year’s weapons procure
ment funds.
In other words, what this means
to the average tax-payer is that
the budget submitted by the Presi
dent is very likely to be the maxi
mum amount of money spent.
When it comes to the minimum,
the President has less control, for
if Congress does not approDriate
the money, there is no way in the
world his executive department
can spend it. On the other hand,
his budget figure for the various
departments, and defense, can be
taken as something of a maximum
which will be spent these days, for
Mr. Eisenhower does not seem in
clined to spend money Congress
appropriates above and beyond
his requests, especially in the field
of defense.

Forsyth County High
Versus
Jefferson
The Jefferson teams will be in
Cumming on January 27th. Last
year these teams were easy for
us here, but when we returned
their games they had improved so
much, until we barely won. They
say most of these players are back
;so we expect good games.
Last week our girls won from
Winder, not too easy 48—31 with
Shirley Roper scoring 28 points.
On Friday night Monroe girls lost
27—53 in a good team effort.
The boys were not so fortunate
losing to Winder 3S—4B on the
home court and to Monroe 35—37
in a conservative, hard fought
game. In the Winder loss, Larry
Rollins had 17 points and Junior
Savage, who was hurt in a car
wreck last Saturday night near
Winder had 19 points. Forward
Savage was a fine player and we
regret that so promising Athlete,
may be through. Russell Buicp had
10 points in the 35 —37 loss at
Monroe.
The girls and boys will have on
their new uniforms Friday night
at Buford. They are very pretty
and all the players appreciate
i them. The coloring is about the
same as the old ones and made
up almost like the old ones, which
were pretty, but most of them
worn badly.
In 1929, With one hour of factory
labor a man could earn chough
money to buy 6.4 loaves of bread,
say economists at the Agricultural
Extension Service. In 1956, for the
same amount of labor, he could
earn enough for 11 loaves of bread

Number 4L
Lyndon Johnson
Compromise
Alter ttho first flay of Ibe iirsf
session ol the 86th Congress in the
Senate, it Irecamo apparent that
Majority Loader Lyndon Johnson
had the strength to have his .1 y
on the boiling controversy over the
Senate's Rules. The Lyndon Job >
son compromise, then, became al
most inevitable.
However, the interesting fight fn
the o|>ening of the Senate was cvne
between the Majority Leader and
the minority party. On the opening
day of the Senate, it was abvions
that Vice President Richard Nbtom
was trying to make political hay
as tapidly as ho could. He was
giving rulings light and left, and
it seemed that the Republicans
were having a grand show, all
of their own.
From the floor of the Senate
Majority Loader Lyndon Johnson
and Senator Richard Russell, Geor
gia Democrat, fired constant jal
vos at the presiding officer, riifi
culing him, and suggesting that he
stop playing politics and get (bwn
to the business of establishing frarli
tional order, according to the lead!
tional rules of the Senate.
At one stage irr the proceedings
Vice President Nixon attempterf to
take the floor from Majority Leafi
er Johnson, who had obtained It
first as the Majority Leader, fcrat
Johnson forcefully informed the
presiding officer tliata he was re
linquishing the floor to no une.
When there seemed to he a dis
pute on this point, and others;
Johnson demonstrated his power
by adjourning the Senate. The vote
for adjournment was so heasiSy
jweighted in Majority Leader Johrv
i son’s favor, with much Repubfitan
support, that it was a clear indi
cation of the Majority
strength
The main lesson to be learner! fa
the fight over Senate Rules in this
session of the Senate is that Maj
onty Leader Johnson is a highly
j capable leader of the majority
I party in the Senate. It Is said that
he never votes until he has the
votes to carry the day, and this
was ably demonstrated in 19551
especially in the case of the de
feat of the Smith bill.
Engineer Cites
Problems Facing
Georgia Farmers
Adapting yesterday’s building to
today's agriculture is a problpm
facing thousands of Georgia farm
ers, declares Agricultural Engineer
Paul Crawford, Agricultural Ksr
tension Service, University of Clear
gia College of Agriculture.
“Where service buildings are out
of date, it means labor itqiwire
ments ate higher,” Crawford
plained. "Recent surveys highlight
the urgent need for more efficient
and economical farm service bm7d
ings and more livable farm homes;”
Crawford reported that in 195 R
farmers requesting building plans
numbered 18,391 a 30 percent in
ctea.se over the previous year. Al
most half of the requests were
for hog housing and equipment.
Pole type structures for lower
costs were in demand, parti tor tarty
for poultry buildings, hog feeding
floors, hay storage, machinery
sheds and feeding barns. Over 12,-
000 farm families received assist
ance from Extension county and
home demonstration agents in re
modeling or repairing the farm
home.
The engineer cited seven chief
problems which the survey brought
to light.
1. Farms are larger now and
existing buildings are too small
and scattered.
2. There is an increase in size
and in specialization of livestock
operations.
3. Feed-crop handling methods
ate changing.
4. Wages are rising and there
is a scarcity of dependable labor.
5. Sanitation and code regulations
are more strict.
6. Contract farming is on the
iru reuse.
7. Few farmers and rural build
ers are skilled irr applying new
developments in building designs
I and in modern methods of hand
ling materials.
