Volume 50. ABOUT YOUR HEART A noted doctor recently pointed out that Americans spend about $111,000,000 per .year on ballpoint pens. We are not opposed to this, but, as Dr, Herman Bundesen noted, this is tabout five times what is spent on the most dead ly riddle of our time - heart disease. This does not seem exactly right, and we hope that Americans will contribute more liberally to the Heart Fund this year. The purpose of this .article is to call to your attention the fact that the Heart Fund drive begins in February, kick ing off in the first week and reaching a climax on February 22nd, which is Heart Sunday. Between now and February 22nd, someone may cal on yo uin your place of business or in your home and ask support for the Heart Fund. If yau are able, you should give the Heart Fund your support, for of the people who die in the United States between the ages of forty-five and sixty-four, each year, more than half of them die because of some cardio-vascular disease. And there were 877,000 persons of all ages who died of diseases of the heart and blood vessels in 1957. This figure gives you an idea of the seriousness of this single disease, which is claiming too close to one million lives a year. Your contribution to the Heart Fund will help in the effort to enlarge and expedite re search into the causes of various heart and blood vessel diseases. This research is urgently needed, and your own life may depend upon it. From any angle, it is a blue-chip investment, and we hope the citizens of this community will liberally support the Heart Fund.

The Forsyth County News OFFICIAL ORGAN-OF FORBYTH COUNTY * CITY OF CUMMING DEVOTES -TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF FORSYTH. FULTON, CIIKRO RICE, DAWSON, LUMPKIN, HALL AND GWINNETT COUNTIES. (City Population 2,500) A LONG LETTER I received a long letter from an earnest Christian man in our county—five full composition pag es. He was concerned about the spiritual welfare of the people of our county. I am going to quote j some portions of his letter to me. “ Often we have people who will not stand up for the right thing, and there are preachers who do this very thing. One of these subjects is the marriage and div orce question our laxness and carelessness are helping to drag our churches down lt is most assuredly in the Bible We can get a divorce because of fornica i tion only. I know several young i people in this vicinity who have two mates. It has grown a lot worse since we have quit preach ing and condemning it. “I am greatly interested in the spiritual welfare of our boys and girts Can we not be of some help to them in this world of temptations and snares of the Devil? We can if we have thte will power and determination to teach them right and live right before them. How will they know if we do not teach them? the first thing is to lead them to Christ “Now as to dancing the more I see it the more I hate it. and what happens after the dance? —Out, of 230.000 fallen women in the United States statistics show that seven-tenths went there hru the dance. “This is what a well-known nerve specialist said, “I attack the mod ern dance as a reversion toward savagery, Asa medical man, I flatly charge that modern dancing is fundamentally sinful and evil. I charge that dancing's charm is based entirely on sex appeal. I charge that dancing is the most advanced and most insidious man evering preliminary to sex betray al. It it nothing more or less than diabolical, animal, physical dissi pation?” He denounced the lack of cloth ing (scarcity of it) worn by wo men. He also denounced the filthy literature that is sold from our news stands to our boys and girls. “The country is in crying need of good real spiritual leaders let us not throw away part of the Bible: If we do we are traitors to our Lord”. Let us beb thoroughly Christian. W. R. CALLAWAY Oklahoma seeks to end its Orange Bowl pact. Gumming Georgia, Thursday, February 5, 1959.

WRIGHT, Ranger Are you one of those landowners who have been getting poor sur vival with your pine seedlings? If so, you could be storing them im properly before planting. When receiving the seedlings from the nursery, make sure your truck is loaded so that the trees have ade quate air circulation. On arrival at your frm, unload the truck im mediately and stack the seedlings so that they will not become heat ed. Water them every two or three days and do not break open the bales too long before planting. Nevtr store the seedlings in wat er for more than one hour as it will lessen the chances of survival. If planting is delayed for more than three weeks, the seedlings should be heeled in. This is done by digging a V-shaped trench and placing the seedlings on one side with the roots in a slanting posi tion. Cover the roots with loose dirt, and soak thoroughly with water. Although not recommended, seedlings can be kept in cold sttor age at tempeatures of 33 to 36 degrees. Moss packed around the seedlings should still be kept wat ered as drying out can still occur. If the seedlings should freeze, they should be allowed to thaw undids turbed. Frozen trees should not be moved.

T.arly Care Saves feeth For Lifetime "Teeth are designed to last a lifetime, and chances are they will if proper attention is given to children’s teeth from an early age,” according to Dr. John E. Chrietzberg, director. Dental Health I Services, Georgia Department of j Public Health. I Dr. Chrietzberg's statement came as he, Dr. Thomas F. Sellers, dir ector, Georgia Department of Pub lic Health, and Dr. Milton McNeil, Rome, president of the Georgia Dental Association, worked out de tails for Georgia’s observance of the 11th National Children’s Den tal Health Week, February B—l 4. “Many parents are under the misconception that children’s so called ‘baby’ teeth are not import ant because they will be followed by permenent teeth anyway,” Dr. Chrietzberg said. “The fact is, of course, that these baby teeth re quire the same attention--and sometimes more attention —as the permanent teeth. “For rinstance. early loss of a orimary tooth may result in drift ing of other teeth. If this space is blocked, the permanent tooth may not have room to grow in its nor mal place. This condition forces other teeth out of alignment and a serious case of so-called ‘crooked teeth' may be the result.” Dr. McNeil noted that both the Georgia Dental Association and the American Dental Association are marking their 10th anniversary this year and pointed out that the greatest influence on the progress of denttistry has been research. “Through the years .dental scion tists have learned, for example, that there is a -distinct relationship between the rate of dental decay | and the consumption of concentrat ed sugars. They have also discov ered that a trace of fluorine in the drinking water is related to a low rate of dental decay,” Dr. McNeill said. Dr. Sellers added that approxi mately 768,000 Georgians in 60 communities are now drinking flu oridated water, and expressed the hope that many other commun'ties will take advantage of fluoridation during 1959. “Prevention: The Key to Life long Dental Health, is our theme for Children’s Dental Health Week. Dr. Chrietzberg said, “and improv ed dental health for the entire nat ion will become a reality as pre ventive procedures become a part of everyday living for all our chil dren.” Georgii Assn. For Menta! Health To Expand Activities Peyton S. Hawes, President of the Georgia Association For Men tal Health announced today that this Association is accepting appli cations for the position of Director of Fund Raising and Community Organization for the state.

Asa result of an expanding program in edducation, volunteer services, legislative activities, as well as in fund raising, the need for a director of field services has become acute.

PEDESTRIANS AND DRIVERS From time to time one hears the opinion ex pressed that automobile drivers seem to seldom give pedestrians their legal “right-of-way” on crosswalks. We are delighted to remind drivers that the pedestrian has the right-of-way, if crossing the street, or intersection, during the approach of an automobile. Moreover, pedstrian, unless lie is crossing on a green light, is assumed to nave the right-of-way at intersections, and auto mobiles should wait for him or her, as the case may be. There are abuses on the other side, of course, and the primary one is for pedestrians to start crossing an intersection just as the light, is turn ing green, thereby forcing the motorist, and those waiting behind him, to wait while the pedestrian, sometimes liesurely, strolls across the street. However, we agree that the greatest weight of abuse on this question is on the shoulders of automobile drivers. Sometimes it seems that many drivers assume that they have the right of-way, primarily because they have three thou sands pounds of steel around them, and they almost take delight in making those on foot scamper, jump, and quick-step out of their path. Psychologists have spent long hours studying human nature, trying to find out why normally polite people become tigers once they get under I the w'heel of an automobile. Whatever the rea son, some of us act completely different while we are driving than we would otherwise. We have been fortunate in GUMMING not to have many pedestrians casualties, although occasion j ally a child is killed, or someone is struck down land seriously injurede elsewhere. , .Obviously, drivers of Gumming and Forsyth County need to give thought to the fact that pedestrians have the right-of-way, and courtesy in allowing them to cross the street, is not ex nibited on too many occasions, in this regard. * t - I ill GUMMING 3IETHODIST NEWS The Cumming Methodist Church stands in your community as an institution fully devoted to the spiritual welfare and redempttion of persons.
