The Forsyth County News Volume 50. Forsyth County Girl Receives Treatment At Warm Springs in 1958 - ■* * J - . _ 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.

OFFICIAL OBGAN OF FORSYTH COUNTY & CITY OF CUM MING DEVOTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF FOBSYTIL FULTON. CHICRO KEE, DAWSON, LUMPKIN, HALL AND GWINNETT COUNTIES. (City Population 2 500) With Your County A^ent Walter H. Rucker 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.

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.

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.
